Each Swingline Loan shall be in a principal amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000.

SECTION 2.03. Loans.

(a) Each Loan (other than Swingline Loans) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments based on their Applicable Percentage; provided, that, the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender). Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, funds advanced by the Lenders pursuant to any Revolving Loan may be in U.S. dollars (a “U.S. Dollar Revolving Loan”) or a Foreign Currency (a “Foreign Currency Revolving Loan”). The Loans comprising any Borrowing made in U.S. Dollars (other than a Borrowing comprised of Swingline Loans) shall be in an aggregate principal amount which is (i) an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000 in the case of LIBOR Loans (or such other amounts as agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) and (ii) an integral multiple of $100,000 in the case of ABR Loans (or such other amounts as agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion).

Each Lender may at its option fulfill its Commitment with respect to any LIBOR Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided, that, any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any applicable Note. Borrowings of more than one Type and LIBOR Loans bearing interest for more than one specific Interest Period may be outstanding at the same time; provided, that, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing or any continuation or conversion thereof which, if made, would result in an aggregate of more than ten separate LIBOR Loans of any Lender being outstanding hereunder at any one time. For purposes of the foregoing, Loans having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Loans.

(d) (i) Subject to Section 2.03(h), each Lender shall make each U.S. Dollar Revolving Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent in the Applicable Office, not later than 4:00 p.m., Applicable Time, and the Administrative Agent shall by 6:00 p.m., Applicable Time, credit or wire transfer the amounts so received to an account in the name of the applicable Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders.

(ii) Subject to Section 2.03(h), each Lender shall make each Foreign Currency Revolving Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent by 1:00 p.m., Applicable Time, in the place where such deposit is required to be made pursuant to Section 2.19, for payments by the Borrowers, of same day funds in the applicable Foreign Currency. Such deposit will be made to such

accounts in the primary market for such Foreign Currencies as the Administrative Agent shall specify from time to time by notice to the Lenders. To the extent funds are received from the Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall promptly make such funds available by wire transfer to such accounts as the Borrower shall have specified to the Administrative Agent. If Foreign Currency Revolving Loans shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, the Administrative Agent shall return the amounts received from Lenders in accordance with this paragraph to the respective Lenders.

(e) If the Administrative Agent has not received from the applicable Borrower the payment required by Section 2.23(g) by 2:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on the date of notice from the Issuing Bank that payment of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit has been or will be made, as provided in Section 2.23(g), the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Issuing Bank and each Lender of the Letter of Credit Disbursement and the currency in which such disbursement is denominated and, in the case of each Lender, its pro rata portion of such Letter of Credit Disbursement. Not later than 2:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on the next Business Day, each Lender shall make available its pro rata share (based on such Lender’s Applicable Percentage) of such Letter of Credit Disbursement in the currency of such disbursement, in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent at its Applicable Office, and the Administrative Agent will promptly make such funds available to the Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent will promptly remit to each Lender that shall have made such funds available its pro rata portion (based on such Lender’s Applicable Percentage) of any amounts subsequently received by the Administrative Agent from the applicable Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit Disbursement in the currency in which it was received.

(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing, or prior to the time of any required payment by any Lender in respect of a Letter of Credit Disbursement, that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing or payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing or payment in accordance with Section 2.03(a), and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers or the Issuing Bank (or, if the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank are the same person, from the date of such payment in respect of a Letter of Credit Disbursement), as applicable, until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at, (i) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable thereto pursuant to Section 2.07 or 2.23(g), as applicable, and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate in the case of amounts payable in dollars and at a corresponding rate reasonably determined by the

Administrative Agent in the case of amounts payable in other currencies. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount in respect of a Borrowing, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrowers shall not be entitled to request any Eurodollar Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. Any Revolving Credit Borrowing which cannot be refinanced as a Eurodollar Borrowing by reason of the preceding sentence shall be automatically converted at the end of the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing.

(h) The Borrowers may refinance all or any part of any Revolving Credit Borrowing with a Revolving Credit Borrowing of the same or a different Type, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in this Agreement. Any Revolving Credit Borrowing or part thereof so refinanced shall be deemed for all purposes to be simultaneously repaid or prepaid in accordance with Section 2.05 or 2.13, as applicable, with the proceeds of a new Revolving Credit Borrowing and the proceeds of such new Revolving Credit Borrowing (to the extent they do not exceed the principal amount of the Borrowing being refinanced) shall not be paid by the Lenders to the Administrative Agent or by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.03(d).

In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably determined that deposits in the principal amounts in the relevant currency of the Loans comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the applicable interbank market, or that the rates at which such deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining LIBOR Loans during such Interest Period, or that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or telecopy notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination, any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.04 or 2.11 shall, until the Administrative Agent shall have advised the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, be deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing. Each determination by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.10. Termination and Reduction of Commitments; Increase of Commitments.

(a) The Revolving Credit Commitments and the Swingline Commitment shall be automatically terminated at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

(b) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable written or telecopy notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or in part permanently reduce, the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, that, (i) each partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in a minimum aggregate principal amount which is an integral multiple of $1,000,000, and (ii) the aggregate of Revolving Credit Commitments shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the Dollar Amount of all aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure at that time and (iii) the foregoing notice is waived with respect to the reduction in Revolving Credit Commitments being accomplished by this Agreement.

(c) Each reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments and each such reduction shall proportionately reduce the Swingline Commitment. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, on the date of each termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Facility Fees on the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued to the date of such termination or reduction.

(d) The Borrower may, at its option, on up to four occasions, seek to increase the Aggregate Commitment by up to $100,000,000 in the aggregate (resulting in a maximum Aggregate Commitment of $250,000,000) upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall specify the amount of any such increase, shall be delivered at a time when no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and may not be delivered if the Borrower has previously terminated a portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to Section 2.10(b) hereof. The Borrower may, after giving such notice, offer the increase (which may be declined by any Lender in its sole discretion) in the Aggregate Commitment on either a ratable basis to the Lenders or on a non pro-rata basis to one or more Lenders and/or to other lenders or entities reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. No increase in the Aggregate Commitment shall become effective until the existing or new Lenders extending incremental Revolving Credit Commitment amounts and the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a document in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent pursuant to which any such existing Lender states the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment increase, any such new Lender states its Revolving Credit Commitment amount and agrees to assume and accept the obligations and rights of a Lender hereunder and the Borrower accepts such incremental Revolving Credit Commitments. The Lenders (new or existing) shall accept an assignment from the existing Lenders, and the existing Lenders shall make an assignment to the new or existing Lender accepting a new or increased Revolving Credit Commitment, of an interest in the then outstanding extensions of credit hereunder such that, after giving effect thereto, all credit exposure hereunder (other than Swingline Loans

as to which no participation notice pursuant to Section 2.22(c) has been delivered) is held (directly or indirectly) ratably by the Lenders in proportion to their respective Revolving Credit Commitments. Assignments pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be made in exchange for the principal amount assigned plus accrued and unpaid interest and Facility Fees and Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall make any payments under Section 2.16 resulting from such assignments. Any such increase of the Aggregate Commitment shall be subject to receipt by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower of such supplemental opinions, resolutions, certificates and other documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

SECTION 2.11. Conversion and Continuation Options. Except with respect to Borrowings comprised of Swingline Loans, as to which this Section 2.11 shall not apply, a Borrower shall have the right at any time upon prior irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent at the Applicable Office (a) not later than 12:00 noon, Applicable Time, on the day of conversion, to convert any Eurodollar Borrowing (other than a Foreign Currency Revolving Loan) into an ABR Borrowing, (b) not later than 12:00 noon, Applicable Time, three Business Days prior to conversion or continuation, to convert any ABR Borrowing into a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue any Eurodollar Borrowing (other than a Foreign Currency Revolving Loan) as a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period, (c) not later than 12:00 noon, Applicable Time, three Business Days prior to conversion, to convert the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing (other than a Foreign Currency Revolving Loan) to another permissible Interest Period, (d) not later than 12:00 noon, Applicable Time, five Business Days prior to conversion or continuation, to convert the Interest Period with respect to any Foreign Currency Revolving Loan to another permissible Interest Period or to continue any Foreign Currency Revolving Loan as a Foreign Currency Revolving Loan for an additional Interest Period, subject in each case to the following:

(i) each conversion or continuation shall be made pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the Loans comprising the converted or continued Borrowing;

(ii) the aggregate principal amount of such Borrowing converted into or continued as (A) a Eurodollar Borrowing in dollars, shall be an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000, (B) a Eurodollar Borrowing in a Foreign Currency shall be an integral multiple of the applicable Foreign Currency Equivalent of approximately $100,000 and not less than the applicable Foreign Currency Equivalent of approximately $500,000, or (C) an, ABR Borrowing, shall be the lesser of (I) the remaining outstanding principal amount of such Borrowing and (II) an integral multiple of $100,000;

(iii) each conversion or continuation shall be effected by each Lender by applying the proceeds of the new Loan of such Lender resulting from such conversion or continuation to the Loan (or portion thereof) of such Lender being converted or continued;

(iv) accrued interest on a LIBOR Loan (or portion thereof) being converted or continued shall be paid by the Borrowers at the time of conversion;

(v) if any Eurodollar Borrowing is converted or continued at a time other than the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrowers shall pay, upon demand, any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.16;

(vi) any portion of a Borrowing maturing or required to be repaid in less than one month may not be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing;

(vii) any portion of a Eurodollar Borrowing (other than a Eurodollar Borrowing in a Foreign Currency) which cannot be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing by reason of clause (vi) above shall be automatically converted at the end of the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing;

(viii) Foreign Currency Revolving Loans may not be converted into ABR Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11; and

(ix) Foreign Currency Revolving Loans in a particular Foreign Currency may not be converted into or continued as Foreign Currency Revolving Loans of any other Foreign Currency pursuant this Section 2.11.

Each notice pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be irrevocable, shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit H-1 hereto or, if the request involves a Foreign Currency Revolving Loan, Exhibit H-2 hereto, and shall in each case refer to this Agreement and specify (I) the principal amount, the Class, the Type and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period of the Borrowing that the Borrower requests be converted or continued, (II) whether such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing, (III) if such notice requests a conversion, the date of such conversion (which shall be a Business Day) and (IV) if such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no Interest Period is specified in any such notice with respect to any conversion to or continuation as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall advise the other Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.11 and of each Lender’s portion of any converted or continued Borrowing. If the Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.11 to continue any Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.11 to convert such Borrowing), such Borrowing shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof), automatically be continued into a new Interest Period as an ABR Borrowing, unless such Borrowing is a Foreign Currency Borrowing, in which case such Borrowing shall be automatically continued as a Foreign Currency Borrowing in the same Foreign Currency for an Interest Period of one month.

SECTION 2.12. Mandatory Repayments and Prepayments.

(a) On the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, all Revolving Credit Borrowings and all Swingline Borrowings shall be due and payable to the extent not previously paid

and all Letter of Credit Exposure (if any) shall be terminated or cash collateralized in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(b) In the event and on each occasion that the sum of (i) the aggregate outstanding principal Dollar Amount of Revolving Loans, (ii) the aggregate Dollar Amount of all Letter of Credit Exposure, and (iii) the aggregate Swingline Exposure (collectively, the “Revolving Loan Exposure”) exceeds the Aggregate Commitment (or the Aggregate Subsidiary Borrower Commitment with respect to all Loans made to, and Letter of Credit Exposure of, the Subsidiary Borrower) at such time, the Borrowers shall immediately prepay Revolving Loans such that the aggregate Dollar Amount of all Revolving Loan Exposure is equal to or less than the Aggregate Commitment (or the Aggregate Subsidiary Borrower Commitment with respect to all Loans made to, and Letter of Credit Exposure of, the Subsidiary Borrower). In addition, on the last day of each calendar month, or on any other Determination Date, the Borrowers shall pay or prepay outstanding Foreign Currency Revolving Loans to the extent, if necessary, so that (i) the Dollar Amount (determined as of such date) of all aggregate Revolving Loan Exposure is equal to or less than the Aggregate Commitment (or the Aggregate Subsidiary Borrower Commitment with respect to all Loans made to, and Letter of Credit Exposure of, the Subsidiary Borrower) at that time and (ii) the Dollar Amount of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Foreign Currency Revolving Loans together with the Dollar Amount of the outstanding Letter of Credit Exposure in respect of Foreign Currency Letters of Credit shall not exceed the Aggregate Foreign Currency Commitment (including with respect to all Loans made to, and Letter of Credit Exposure of, the Subsidiary Borrower). In the event that on the last day of any calendar month or on any other Determination Date, the Dollar Amount of the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure resulting from Letters of Credit issued in dollars and Foreign Currency Letters of Credit exceeds the Aggregate Commitment (or the Aggregate Subsidiary Borrower Commitment with respect to all Loans made to, and Letter of Credit Exposure of, the Subsidiary Borrower), then the Borrower shall cash collateralize such Letter of Credit Exposure (in each instance, in dollars or in a Foreign Currency reasonably required by the Administrative Agent) to the extent, if necessary, so that (i) the Dollar Amount (determined as of such date) of all aggregate Revolving Loan Exposure is equal to or less than the Aggregate Commitment (or the Aggregate Subsidiary Borrower Commitment with respect to all Loans made to, and Letter of Credit Exposure of, the Subsidiary Borrower) at that time and (ii) the Dollar Amount (determined as of such date) of all aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure resulting from Letters of Credit issued in dollars and Foreign Currency Letters of Credit is equal to or less than the Aggregate Commitment (or the Aggregate Subsidiary Borrower Commitment with respect to all Loans made to, and Letter of Credit Exposure of, the Subsidiary Borrower) (and thereupon such cash shall be deemed to reduce the Letter of Credit Exposure for purposes of this Section 2.12(b)).

(c) All mandatory prepayments under Section 2.12(b) shall be applied (to the extent applicable) (i) first, to reduce the outstanding principal amount of U.S. Dollar Revolving Loans or Foreign Currency Revolving Loans, as the case may be, and (ii) second, to the extent that the remaining amount of such prepayment is greater than the aggregate principal Dollar Amount of outstanding Loans, to provide cash collateral in an amount equal to all such Letter of Credit Exposure (the amount to be deposited shall be

denominated in the currency or currencies of the Letter(s) of Credit then outstanding) (and thereupon such cash shall be deemed to reduce the Letter of Credit Exposure for purposes of this Section 2.12(c)). Subject to the foregoing provisions, any mandatory prepayment of Loans of any Class pursuant to Section 2.12(b) shall be applied to prepay all ABR Loans of such Class before any LIBOR Loans of such Class are prepaid. All mandatory prepayments shall be applied first to Loans in the currency in which payment is made by the Borrowers.

(d) Each payment of Borrowings pursuant to this Section 2.12 (except partial prepayments of ABR Borrowings) shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount paid to but excluding the date of payment. All payments under this Section 2.12 shall be subject to Section 2.16, but otherwise shall be without premium or penalty.

SECTION 2.13. Optional Prepayments.

(a) Subject to Section 2.13(b), the Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any LIBOR Loans, in whole or in part, upon giving prior written or telecopy notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or telecopy notice) to the Administrative Agent, at least three Business Days prior to the date of prepayment; provided, that each partial prepayment of LIBOR Loans shall be in a Dollar Amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000 (or such other amounts as agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) and a partial prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing under this Section 2.13(a) shall not be made that would result in the remaining aggregate outstanding principal Dollar Amount thereof being less than $100,000. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the Class, the Type, the Interest Period of the Borrowing to be prepaid and the principal amount thereof to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrowers to prepay such Borrowing by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein.

(b) All prepayments under this Section 2.13 shall be subject to Section 2.16 but otherwise shall be without premium or penalty. All prepayments under this Section 2.13 shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to, but excluding, the date of payment.

SECTION 2.14. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if after the date of this Agreement any change in applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law) shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender or Issuing Bank of the principal of or interest on any LIBOR Loan made by such Lender or any Fees or other amounts payable hereunder (other than changes in respect of taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Lender or Issuing Bank by the jurisdiction in which such Lender or Issuing Bank has its principal office or by any state of the United States or by any political subdivision or taxing

authority therein), or shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by any Lender or Issuing Bank (except any such reserve requirement that is reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or shall impose on such Lender or Issuing Bank or the applicable interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of making or maintaining any LIBOR Loan or increase the cost to any Lender of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or purchasing or maintaining a participation therein or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or Affiliate or parent thereof which fairly allocates any such increase to the Lender) or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender or Issuing Bank to be material, then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs actually incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender or Issuing Bank shall have determined that the adoption after the date hereof of any law, rule, regulation, agreement or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change after the date hereof in any such law, rule, regulation, agreement or guideline or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority (including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or any lending office of such Lender) or Issuing Bank or any Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made or participations in Letters of Credit purchased by such Lender pursuant hereto or the Letters of Credit issued by Issuing Bank pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such applicability, adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender or Issuing Bank to be material, then, from time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Bank setting forth the circumstances requiring the payment of compensation, the calculations with respect thereto, and the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after its receipt of the same.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation. The protection of this Section 2.14 shall be available to each Lender and Issuing Bank regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, agreement, guideline or other change or condition that shall have occurred or been imposed. In the event any Lender or Issuing Bank ever receives a refund from any applicable Governmental Authority of any amount paid by the Borrower on account of the provisions of this Section 2.14, the applicable lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall repay those refunded amounts to the Borrower.

SECTION 2.15. Change in Legality.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if after the date hereof, (i) any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any LIBOR Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any LIBOR Loan, or (ii) there shall have occurred any change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions, other than those arising under Section 2.14, (including the imposition of or any change in exchange controls) or currency exchange rates which would make it impracticable for any Lender to make Loans denominated in any Foreign Currency to the Borrowers, as contemplated by this Agreement, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, such Lender may:

(A) declare that LIBOR Loans or Foreign Currency Revolving Loans (in the affected Foreign Currency) will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into LIBOR Loans), whereupon any request for a LIBOR Loan (or to convert an ABR Borrowing to a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, (I) if such Loan is a U.S. Dollar Revolving Loan, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a LIBOR Loan into an ABR Loan, as the case may be), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn, or (II) if such Loan is a Foreign Currency Revolving Loan, be deemed to have been withdrawn, unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and

(B) require that all outstanding LIBOR Loans or Foreign Currency Revolving Loans (in the affected Foreign Currency) as the case may be, made by it be (I) if such Loans are U.S. Dollar Revolving Loans, converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such LIBOR Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below or (II) if such Loans are Foreign Currency Revolving Loans, repaid immediately, in which event all such Foreign Currency Revolving Loans (in the affected Foreign

Currency) shall be required to be repaid in full by the Borrowers as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below.

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above with respect to any U.S. Dollar Revolving Loans, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the LIBOR Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted LIBOR Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such LIBOR Loans.

(b) For purposes of this Section 2.15, a notice to the Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each LIBOR Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently applicable to such LIBOR Loan or, if there are then two or more current Interest Periods, on the last day of each such Interest Period, respectively; otherwise, such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower.

SECTION 2.16. Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any event, other than a default by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the performance of its obligations hereunder, which results in (i) such Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal of any LIBOR Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (ii) the conversion of any LIBOR Loan to a Loan of another Type, or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any LIBOR Loan, in each case other than on the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (iii) any LIBOR Loan to be made by such Lender (including any LIBOR Loan to be made pursuant to a conversion or continuation under Section 2.11) not being made after notice of such Loan shall have been given by the Borrower hereunder (any of the events referred to in this clause (a) being called a “Breakage Event”) or (b) any default by the Borrowers in the making of any payment or prepayment required to be made hereunder. In the case of any Breakage Event, such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining funds for the LIBOR Loan that is the subject of such Breakage Event for the period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Loan over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage Event for such period. Determination of amounts payable under this Section with respect to LIBOR Loans shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its LIBOR Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the LIBO Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay each Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after receipt of the same.

SECTION 2.17. Pro Rata Treatment. Except as required under Section 2.15 and as provided in this Section 2.17 with respect to Swingline Loans, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the Facility Fees, each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments and each refinancing

of any Borrowing with, conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the sum of (a) the respective principal amounts of their applicable outstanding Loans and (b) the respective amounts of their Letter of Credit Exposure). For purposes of determining the available Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders at any time, each outstanding Swingline Loan shall be deemed to have utilized the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders (including, those Lenders which shall not have made Swingline Loans) pro rata in accordance with such respective Revolving Credit Commitments. Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount.

SECTION 2.18. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrowers, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loan or Loans as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans of any Class shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans of such Class of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in such Loans of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans and participations in Loans of any Class held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans of such Class then outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans of such Class prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Loans of such Class outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that, if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.18 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest. For purposes of this Section 2.18, the Revolving Loans of any Lender shall include such Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure. Each of the Borrowers expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrowers to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan directly to the Borrowers in the amount of such interest.

SECTION 2.19. Payments.

(a) Unless expressly provided otherwise herein, the Borrowers shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder or under any other Loan Document without setoff, defense or counterclaim not later than the time required by subparagraph 2.19(d) below, on the date when due in dollars to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds.

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

(c) With respect to any Foreign Currency Revolving Loan, each payment on account of an amount due from the Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made by such Borrowers to the Administrative Agent in the currency in which such amount is denominated and in such funds as are customary at the place and time of payment for the settlement of international payments in such currency. Without limiting the terms of the preceding sentence, accrued interest on any Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be payable in the same Foreign Currency as such Loan. Upon request, the Administrative Agent will give the Borrower a statement showing the computation used in calculating such amount, which statement shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The obligation of the Borrowers to make each payment on account of such amount in the currency in which such amount is denominated shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment, which is expressed in or converted into any other currency, except to the extent such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt by the Administrative Agent of the full amount in the appropriate currency payable hereunder. Each of the Borrowers agrees that its obligation to make each payment on account of such amount in the currency in which such amount is denominated shall be enforceable as an additional or alternative claim for recovery in such currency of the amount (if any) by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of such currency payable hereunder, and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for such amount.

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each payment (including principal of or interest on, any Loan, any Fees, or other fees or amounts) hereunder and under any instrument delivered hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent at such place as may be designated by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower in writing in immediately available funds, without offset, deduction, counterclaim or withholding of any kind, prior to 11:00 a.m., local time in the place where such payment is required to be made pursuant to this subsection (d) on the date due. Any payments received after such time shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day.

SECTION 2.20. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary hereunder and under any other Loan Document shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.19, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all current or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) income taxes or branch profit taxes imposed on the net income of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank (or any transferee or assignee thereof, including a participation holder (any such entity a “Transferee”)) and (ii) franchise taxes imposed on the net income of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank (or Transferee), in each case by the jurisdiction under the laws of which

the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank (or Transferee) is organized or any political subdivision thereof or the jurisdiction in which such Lender or Transferee has its applicable lending office (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities, collectively or individually, being called “Taxes” and all such excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being called “Excluded Taxes”). Subject to the provisions of Section 2.20(f) if the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall be required to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Lender or the Issuing Bank (or any Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, (A) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount (an “additional amount”) necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.20 but excluding Excluded Taxes) such Lender or the Issuing Bank (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (B) the Borrower or such Subsidiary shall make such deductions and (C) the Borrower or such Subsidiary shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Borrowers agree to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, any current or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including mortgage recording taxes and similar fees) that arise from any payment made hereunder or under any other Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (“Other Taxes”).

(c) The Borrowers will jointly and severally indemnify each Lender (or Transferee), the Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank (or Transferee) for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes paid by such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and any liability (excluding Excluded Taxes, but including penalties, interest and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses)) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability and the method of computation thereof prepared by the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Bank (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent on its behalf, absent manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes. Such indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date the Administrative Agent, any Lender or Issuing Bank (or Transferee), as the case may be, makes written demand therefor and provides the Borrower with the certificate described above.

(d) If (i) any Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent shall be notified by the Borrower that it has determined in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent to claim a refund in respect of Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers, or with respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20, and (ii) such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, concurs in such determination and determines in good faith that seeking such refund will

not have an adverse effect on such person, then, within 30 days after receipt of request by the Borrower, such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall make a claim to such Governmental Authority for such refund at the Borrowers’ expense. If any Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent receives a refund (including pursuant to a claim for refund made pursuant to the preceding sentence) in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers, or with respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts, pursuant to this Section 2.20, it shall within 30 days from the date of such receipt, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, pay over such refund to the Borrowers (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section 2.20 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that the Borrowers, upon the request of such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, agree to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus penalties, interest or other charges) to such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent in the event such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.

(e) As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower or any Subsidiary to the relevant Governmental Authority, the Borrower or such Subsidiary will deliver to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.01, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing payment thereof.

(f) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two copies of (i) either United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. Federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a Form W-8, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto (and, if such Non-U.S. Lender delivers a Form W-8, a certificate representing that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Borrower and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code)), properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or reduced rate of, U.S. Federal withholding tax on payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9 entitling such Non-U.S. Lender to receive a complete exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation holder, on or before the date such participation holder becomes a Transferee hereunder) and on or before the date, if any, such Non-U.S. Lender changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office,(a “New Lending Office”). In

addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. If a Non-U.S. Lender who has delivered the forms referred to above on the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee, on the date that it becomes a Transferee hereunder) determines that it is unable subsequently to submit to the Borrower any such form, or that it is required to withdraw or cancel any such form, such Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of such fact. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.20(g), a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 2.20(g) that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(g) The Borrowers shall not be required to indemnify any Non-U.S. Lender, or to pay any additional amounts to any Non-U.S. Lender, in respect of United States Federal withholding tax pursuant to paragraph (a) or (c) above to the extent that (i) the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Non-U.S. Lender to comply with Section 2.20(f) or (ii) the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to United States Federal withholding tax existed on the date such Non-U.S. Lender become a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation holder, on the date such participation holder became a Transferee hereunder) or, with respect to payments to a New Lending Office, the date such Non-U.S. Lender designated such New Lending Office with respect to a Loan; provided, however, that this clause (ii) shall not apply (A) to any Transferee or New Lending Office that becomes a Transferee or New Lending Office as a result of an assignment, participation, transfer or designation made at the request of the Borrower and (B) to the extent the indemnity payment or additional amounts any Transferee, or any Lender (or Transferee) acting through a New Lending Office, would be entitled to receive (without regard to this clause (ii)) do not exceed the indemnity payment or additional amounts that the person making the assignment, participation or transfer to such Transferee, or Lender (or Transferee) making the designation of such New Lending Office, would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment, participation, transfer or designation or (ii) the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Non-U.S. Lender to comply with the provisions of paragraph (f) above.

(h) Nothing contained in this Section 2.20 shall require any Lender or Issuing Bank (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent to make available any of its tax returns (or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary).

(i) The provisions of this Section 2.20 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

SECTION 2.21. Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances; Duty to Mitigate.

(a) In the event (i) any Lender or Issuing Bank delivers a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender or Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in Section 2.15 or (iii) the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.20, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b)), upon notice to such Lender or Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, require such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent that shall assume such assigned obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided, that (A) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (B) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving Credit Commitment is being assigned, of the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (C) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (D) the Borrowers or such assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender or the Issuing Bank in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of 100% of the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans or Letter of Credit Disbursements of such Lender or Issuing Bank, respectively, plus all Fees and other amounts accrued for the account of such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (including any amounts under Section 2.14 and Section 2.16); provided, further, that if prior to any such assignment the circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender’s notice or certificate under Section 2.14 or 2.15 or demand for additional amounts under Section 2.20, as the case may be, shall cease to exist or become inapplicable for any reason or if such Lender shall waive its rights in respect of such circumstances or event under Section 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 or 2.20, as the case may be, then such Lender shall not thereafter be required to make any such assignment hereunder.

(b) If (i) any Lender or Issuing Bank shall request compensation under Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender or Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in Section 2.15 or (iii) the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender or Issuing Bank, pursuant to Section 2.20, then such Lender or Issuing Bank shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Lender or Issuing Bank to incur an unreimbursed loss or unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden deemed by it to be significant) (A) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or (B) to assign its rights and delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such filing or assignment would reduce its claims for compensation under Section 2.14 or enable it to withdraw its notice pursuant to Section 2.15 or would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, in the future. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or Issuing Bank in connection with any such filing or assignment, delegation and transfer.

SECTION 2.22. Swingline Loans.

(a) Swingline Loans. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telecopy, or by telephone (confirmed by telecopy), not later than 12:00 (noon), Eastern Standard Time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Such notice shall be delivered on a Business Day, shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of such Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any notice received from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (a). The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by means of a credit to the general deposit account of the Borrower with the Swingline Lender by 6:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on the date such Swingline Loan is so requested.

(b) Prepayment. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Swingline Loan, in whole or in part, upon giving written or telecopy notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written, or telecopy notice) to the Swingline Lender and to the Administrative Agent before 12:00 noon, Eastern Standard Time, on the date of prepayment at the Swingline Lender’s address for notices specified in Section 9.01.

(c) Participations. The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on any Business Day require the Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Lenders will participate. The Administrative Agent will, by 2:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on the date of receipt of such notice, give notice to each Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent by 4:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on the date such notice is received from the Swingline Lender, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.03(d) with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.03(c) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders) and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of

participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent, any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower (or other party liable for obligations of the Borrower) of any default in the payment thereof.

SECTION 2.23. Letters of Credit.

(a) The Borrower may request the issuance of (i) Letters of Credit in dollars, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, for the account of the Borrowers, at any time and from time to time during the Letter of Credit Availability Period; provided, that, any such Letter of Credit shall be issued only if, and each request by the Borrower for the issuance of any Letter of Credit shall be deemed a representation and warranty of the Borrowers that, immediately following the issuance of such Letter of Credit, (A) the aggregate Dollar Amount of Letter of Credit Exposure resulting from Letters of Credit does not exceed $50,000,000, and (B) the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure does not exceed the Aggregate Commitment at such time, and (ii) Foreign Currency Letters of Credit, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank for the account of the Borrowers, at any time and from time to time during the Letter of Credit Availability Period; provided, that, any such Foreign Currency Letter of Credit shall be issued only if, and each request by the Borrower for the issuance of any such Foreign Currency Letter of Credit shall be deemed a representation and warranty of the Borrowers that, immediately following the issuance of such Foreign Currency Letter of Credit (A) the aggregate Dollar Amount of Foreign Currency Letter of Credit Exposure does not exceed the Aggregate Foreign Currency Commitment and (B) the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure does not exceed the aggregate amount of the Aggregate Commitment at such time. In no event shall an Issuing Bank be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if after giving effect thereto, the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure would exceed the Aggregate Commitment. For purposes hereof, the “issuance” of a Letter of Credit includes the amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit.

(b) Each Commercial LC shall expire no later than earlier of (i) 270 days after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit and (ii) the fifth Business Day prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. Each Standby LC shall expire no later than the fifth Business Day prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

(c) Each issuance of any Letter of Credit shall be made on at least two Business Days’ prior irrevocable written or telecopy notice (such notice to be delivered by 12:00 noon, Eastern Standard Time) from the Borrower (or such shorter notice as shall be acceptable to the Issuing Bank) to the Administrative Agent at its address set forth in Section 9.01 and the Issuing Bank specifying whether such Letter of Credit is a Standby LC or a Commercial LC, the date of issuance, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire, the amount of such Letter of Credit, whether such Letter of Credit is to be issued in dollars or a Foreign Currency (and if such Letter of Credit is to be issued in a

Foreign Currency, the applicable Foreign Currency), the name and address of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, and such other information as may be necessary or desirable to complete such Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank will give the Administrative Agent prompt notice of the issuance and amount of such Letter of Credit and the expiration date of such Letter of Credit (and the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to each Lender). During the Letter of Credit Availability Period, the Issuing Bank also will give the Administrative Agent (i) if and when requested, notice of the amount available to be drawn under each outstanding Letter of Credit and (ii) prompt notice of any payment or disbursement that has been or will be made under any Letter of Credit.

(d) By the issuance of a Letter of Credit and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in respect thereof, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, effective upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank, in accordance with Section 2.03(e), such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of each Letter of Credit Disbursement in the currency of such disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrowers when due in accordance with Section 2.23(g).

(e) Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to Section 2.23(d) in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(f) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, as applicable, a nonrefundable Letter of Credit Fee and Fronting Fee in accordance with Section 2.06(b). In addition to the foregoing fees and commissions, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Bank for such normal and customary costs and expenses, including, without limitation, administrative, issuance, amendment, payment and negotiation charges, as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Bank in issuing, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit (including any Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Subsidiary).

(g) The applicable Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any payment or disbursement made by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit (including any Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Subsidiary), by making payment in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent on the same Business Day after receipt of notice of such payment or disbursement (or notice that such payment or disbursement will be made), in the amount and currency of such payment or disbursement, plus interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by the Issuing Bank, at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) the rate applicable to ABR Loans pursuant to Section 2.07 or (ii) the cost on a per annum basis to the Issuing Bank of the funds so paid

or disbursed under the Letter of Credit plus the Applicable LIBOR Margin (such cost plus such margin being referred to herein as the “Cost of Funds”); provided, that, if such amount is not reimbursed prior to 2:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on the same Business Day after receipt by the Borrower of the notice of such payment or disbursement (or notice that such payment or disbursement will be made), interest shall thereafter accrue on such unreimbursed amount at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) the rate applicable to ABR Loans during such period pursuant to Section 2.07, plus 2.00% or (ii) the Cost of Funds plus 2.00%. The Administrative Agent shall promptly pay any such amounts received by it to the Issuing Bank. Borrowers hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, and each Lender (in any capacity hereunder) from and against any and all loss, liability, cost, and expense arising at any time or times from the exchange of one or more currencies for one or more other currencies hereunder.

(h) The Borrowers’ obligation to reimburse Letter of Credit Disbursements as provided in Section 2.23(g) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever, and irrespective of:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any other Loan Document or any term or provision therein;

(ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrowers, any Subsidiary or any other person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction;

(iii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or failing to comply with the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits, as in effect from time to time, or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect,

(iv) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

(v) any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and

(vi) any other act or omission or delay of any kind or any other circumstance or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing and whether or not foreseeable, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.23(h), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder.

(i) Without limiting the generality of the provisions of the foregoing paragraph (h), it is expressly understood and agreed that the absolute and unconditional obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to reimburse Letter of Credit Disbursements will not be excused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank. However, the preceding sentence and the provisions of Section 2.23(h) shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct in determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. It is understood that the Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit (i) the Issuing Bank’s exclusive reliance in good faith on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever and (ii) any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank.

(j) The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall as promptly as possible give telephonic notification, confirmed by telex or telecopy, to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make a Letter of Credit Disbursement thereunder; provided, that, the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of its obligation to reimburse any such Letter of Credit Disbursement in accordance with this Section 2.23. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender notice thereof.

(k) In the event that the Borrowers are required or elect pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, Section 2.12(c) (other than Article VII) or any other Loan Document, to provide cash collateral in respect of the Letter of Credit Exposure, the Borrowers shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Lender, an amount in cash equal to the amount of such Letter of Credit Exposure (or such lesser amount as shall be required hereunder or thereunder); the amount to be deposited shall be denominated in the currency or currencies of the Letter(s) of Credit outstanding as determined by the Issuing Bank. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations to Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits in Cash Equivalents, which investments shall be made as directed by the Borrower (subject, however, to the

preservation of such deposits in the currency in which deposited and unless such investments shall be contrary to applicable law or regulation or a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the Administrative Agent shall determine in its discretion whether to make investments and, if so, shall determine in its discretion the Cash Equivalents to be selected), such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Borrowers hereby pledge all such deposits and accounts and cash collateral, together with the proceeds, investments, and increases thereof and the interest thereon, to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders to secure payment and performance of the Obligations. Moneys in such account shall automatically be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for Letter of Credit Disbursements and, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, to satisfy the Obligations to the Lenders. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.12(c), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers upon demand; provided, that, after giving effect to such return, (i) the sum of the Dollar Amount of the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure, plus the aggregate outstanding Swingline Exposure, plus the aggregate outstanding Dollar Amount of Revolving Loans would not exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, (ii) the Dollar Amount of Letters of Credit does not exceed the Aggregate Commitment, and (iii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. In the event that the Borrowers are required pursuant to the terms of Article VII of this Agreement to provide cash collateral in respect of Letter of Credit Exposure, the Borrowers shall deposit such cash collateral in an account with the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Collateral Agency Agreement. Such deposit shall be held by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the Collateral Agency Agreement. Any such deposit to be held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as provided herein, shall be accompanied by notice from the Borrower, in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, setting forth the basis for such deposit, identifying in reasonable detail the Letters of Credit to which such deposit relates, and setting forth any other information related to such deposit reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be. The Borrowers shall promptly provide the Administrative Agent with a copy of any such notice to the Collateral Agent and shall promptly provide the Collateral Agent with a copy of any such notice to the Administrative Agent. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

SECTION 2.24. Existing Letters of Credit. It is understood and agreed that notwithstanding any other provision hereof the Existing Letters of Credit shall, on the Effective Date, be deemed Letters of Credit issued hereunder as of the Effective Date as to which JPMorgan is the Issuing Bank and in which each Lender shall participate in accordance with Section 2.23(d).

SECTION 2.25. Extension of Revolving Credit Maturity Date. The Borrower may request a one-year extension of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date by submitting a request for

an extension to the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Request”) no more than 180 and no less than 90 days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. Promptly upon receipt of an Extension Request, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender thereof and shall request each Lender to act upon the Extension Request. Each Lender approving the Extension Request shall deliver its written consent no later than 45 days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. If and only if the consent of each of the Lenders is received by the Administrative Agent prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Revolving Credit Maturity Date shall be extended by one year and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and each Lender of the new Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

presented, do not contain any material misstatement of fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which such information was provided.

SECTION 3.18. Security Interests.

(a) The Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties will at all times have the Liens provided for in the Collateral Documents and, subject to the filing by the Borrower of continuation statements to the extent required by the Uniform Commercial Code, and the continuing possession by the Collateral Agent of the certificates representing the securities pledged pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, the Collateral Documents will at all times constitute a valid and continuing lien of record and first priority perfected security interest in all the Collateral referred to therein.

(b) The Borrower does not intend to, or to permit any of the Guarantors to, and does not believe that the Borrower or any of the Guarantors will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature taking into account the timing of and amounts of cash to be received by the Borrower or any such Guarantor and the timing of and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of indebtedness of the Borrower or any such Guarantor.

The Borrower will not, and will not cause or permit any of the Subsidiaries to, sell or transfer any property or assets to, or purchase or acquire any property or assets from, or otherwise enter into or maintain any other transactions with, any Affiliate of the Borrower or any of the Shareholders, except that so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower or any Subsidiary may enter into any of the foregoing transactions in the ordinary course of business at prices and on terms and conditions that are (i) set forth in writing and (ii) as favorable to the Borrower or such Subsidiary as would be obtainable at the time in a comparable transaction on an arm’s-length basis from an unrelated third party. The provisions of this Section 6.10 shall not prohibit (A) any payment expressly permitted under Section 6.04 or 6.06, (B) any transaction entered into and maintained among the Borrower and any Subsidiary or among Subsidiaries and (C) payment of compensation to employees and directors in the ordinary course of business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries may engage in transactions on a non-arm’s-length basis in connection with “beachhead” pricing in new markets as long as such

transactions are permitted by the rules and regulations regarding international transfer pricing set forth in the Internal Revenue Code.

SECTION 6.11. Business of Borrower and Subsidiaries. The Borrower will not, and will not cause or permit any of the Subsidiaries to, engage at any time in any material line of business which is substantially different from those lines of business carried on by the Company and the Subsidiaries on the Effective Date and other business activities reasonably related or incidental thereto. The Borrower will not permit the Subsidiary Borrower to cease to be a Wholly Owned Subsidiary.

SECTION 6.12. Financial Covenants.

(a) Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio. The Borrower will not permit the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio to be less than 3.00 to 1.00 for any Reference Period ending on or after the Effective Date.

(c) Minimum Consolidated Net Worth. The Borrower will not permit its Consolidated Net Worth as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Borrower to be less than the Minimum Compliance Level at any time during the term of this Amended Agreement. The “Minimum Compliance Level” shall initially be $250,000,000 as of November 30, 2006. The Minimum Compliance Level shall be increased (any such increase being an “Increase”) as of the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower ending on or after February 28, 2007 by an amount equal to the sum of (a) 50% of Consolidated Net Income (if positive) for such fiscal quarter and (b) 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of the issuance of any Capital Stock of the Borrower or any Subsidiary; provided, that, nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to permit the issuance of any such Capital Stock or Disqualified Stock. It is understood that the first increase in the Minimum Compliance Level pursuant to the foregoing provisions shall be determined as of the Borrower’s fiscal quarter ending February 28, 2006. The foregoing increases in the Minimum Compliance Level shall be fully cumulative and no reduction in the Minimum Compliance Level shall be made to reflect negative Consolidated Net Income for any period.

ARTICLE VIII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND ISSUING BANK

SECTION 8.01. Appointment and Authorization.

(a) Each of the Lenders, and each subsequent holder of any Note by its acceptance thereof, hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank to take such actions as administrative agent on behalf of such Lender or holder and to exercise such powers as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, by the terms and provisions hereof and of the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

(b) The Administrative Agent is hereby expressly authorized by the Lenders, without hereby limiting any implied authority, and hereby agrees (in the case of clause (ii) below, at the direction of the Required Lenders), (i) to receive on behalf of the Lenders all payments of principal of and interest on the Loans and all other amounts due

to the Lenders hereunder, and promptly to distribute to each Lender its proper share of each payment so received; (ii) to give notice on behalf of each of the Lenders to the Borrower of any Event of Default specified in this Agreement of which the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge acquired in connection with its agency hereunder; (iii) to give notice to the Lenders of any Event of Default specified in this Agreement of which the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge acquired in connection with its agency hereunder; and (iv) to distribute to each Lender copies of all notices, financial statements and other materials delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement as received by the Administrative Agent.

(c) The Administrative Agent is hereby expressly authorized by each Lender to direct the Collateral Agent, in the name of and on behalf of such Lender, to release any Collateral that is being sold, transferred, leased or otherwise disposed of by the Borrower or any Subsidiary in a transaction permitted by Section 6.05 or which (subject to Section 9.08(b)(iv)) is approved by the Required Lenders.

SECTION 8.02. Liability of the Administrative Agent. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents, shall be liable as such for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them, except for such party’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, or be responsible for any statement, warranty or representation herein or the contents of any document delivered in connection herewith, or be required to ascertain or to make any inquiry concerning the performance or observance by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements contained in any Loan Document. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Issuing Bank shall be responsible to the Lenders or the holders of the Notes for the due execution, genuineness, validity, enforceability or effectiveness of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Documents or other instruments or agreements. The Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof until it shall have received from the payee of such Note notice, given as provided herein, of the transfer thereof in compliance with Section 9.04. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or refraining from acting, in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders and, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, such instructions and any action or inaction pursuant thereto shall be binding on all the Lenders and each subsequent holder of any Note. The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Required Lenders shall, in the absence of knowledge to the contrary, be entitled to rely on any instrument or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents, shall have any responsibility to the Borrowers on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any Lender of any of its obligations hereunder or to any Lender on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any other Lender or the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any of their respective obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith. The Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank may execute any and all duties hereunder by or through agents or employees, shall be entitled to consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it with respect to all matters arising hereunder 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.

SECTION 8.03. Action by the Administrative Agent. The Lenders hereby acknowledge that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Issuing Bank shall be under any duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders. The obligations of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents are only those expressly set forth herein and therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Administrative Agent shall be required to take any action with respect to any Default or Event of Default, except as expressly required pursuant to Article VII.

SECTION 8.04. Successor Administrative Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank (except, in the case of the Issuing Bank, in respect of Letters of Credit issued by it) may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor subject to approval by the Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on behalf of the Lenders, shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank, as applicable, which shall be a commercial bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, hereunder by a successor bank, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank and the retiring Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After the resignation of an Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as an Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank.

SECTION 8.05. Administrative Agent and Affiliate. With respect to the Loans made by it hereunder, the Letters of Credit issued by it hereunder and the Notes issued to it, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, each in its individual capacity and not as the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall have the same rights and powers as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank (and its Affiliates) may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business and transactions with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank (or such Affiliate thereof).

SECTION 8.06. Indemnification. Each Lender agrees (a) to reimburse each of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, on demand, in the amount of its pro rata share (as determined under Section 2.17) of any expenses incurred for the benefit of the Lenders by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, including counsel fees and compensation of agents and employees paid for services rendered on behalf of the Lenders, which shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrower and (b) to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and any of their respective directors, officers,

employees or agents, on demand, in the amount of such pro rata share, from and against any and all liabilities, taxes, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it in its capacity as the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, or any of them in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by it or any of them under this Agreement or any other such Loan Document, to the extent the same shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrower; provided, that, no Lender shall be liable to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents.

SECTION 8.07. Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 8.08. Collateral Agency Agreement. The Administrative Agent and each Lender agree to be bound by the terms of the Collateral Agency Agreement.

SECTION 8.09. Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent, etc. None of the Lenders identified in this Agreement as the “Co-Syndication Agent” or “Documentation Agent” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to such Lenders as it makes with respect to the Administrative Agent in Section 8.07.

SECTION 9.03. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date.

SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns.

Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

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

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

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

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

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and

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

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

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

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.20 and 8.06). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

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

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.03(d), 2.22(c), 2.23(d) or (e), or 8.06, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.20 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18 as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 or 2.20 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.20 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.20(f) as though it were a Lender.

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

SECTION 9.05. Expenses; Indemnity.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or the Issuing Bank in connection with the preparation, execution and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the syndication or closing of the Revolving Credit Facility, the administration of the Revolving Credit Facility or any actual or proposed amendment, modification or waiver of the provisions hereof or thereof and the Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with the Loans made, the Notes issued hereunder or the Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of (i) Winston & Strawn LLP counsel to the Administrative Agent, (ii) any third party consultants retained with the Borrower’s consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, to assist the Administrative Agent in analyzing any environmental, insurance, solvency related and other due diligence issues and (iii) in connection with any such enforcement or protection (including any workout or restructuring or any negotiations relating thereto), any other counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender (including the allocated internal fees and expenses of any in-house staff counsel).

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, the Issuing Bank, the Affiliates of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and Controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims (whether valid or not), damages and liabilities, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject, related to or arising out of (i) the Revolving Credit Facility, (ii) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or 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 and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, (iii) the use of the Letters of Credit or the proceeds of the Loans or (iv) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party thereto. The Borrower further agrees to reimburse each Indemnified Party for all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) as they are incurred in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense of any pending or threatened claim or any action or proceeding arising therefrom. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation to indemnify any Indemnified Party under this Section 9.05(b) shall not apply in respect of any loss, claim, damage or

liability to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by final and nonappealable judgment that such loss, claim, damage or liability resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders and the other Indemnified Parties from and against any and all losses, claims (whether valid or not), damages and liabilities, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject, related to or arising out of (i) any Federal, state, local or other statute, ordinance, order, judgment, ruling or regulation relating to environmental pollution, regulation or control affecting the Borrower, any Subsidiary or its properties or assets, (ii) any Hazardous Materials managed by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, (iii) any event, condition or circumstance involving environmental protection, pollution, regulation or control affecting the Borrower or any Subsidiary or its properties or assets or (iv) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party thereto. The Borrower further agrees to reimburse each Indemnified Party for all expenses (including reasonable consultants’ and attorneys’ fees and expenses) as they are incurred in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense of any pending or threatened claim or any action or proceeding arising therefrom. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation to indemnify any Indemnified Party under this Section 9.05(c) shall not apply in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by final and nonappealable judgment that such loss, claim, damage or liability resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(d) In the event that the foregoing indemnity is unavailable or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then the Borrower will contribute to amounts paid or payable by such Indemnified Party in respect of such Indemnified Party’s losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportions as appropriately reflect the relative benefits received by and fault of the Borrower and such Indemnified Party in connection with the matters as to which such losses, claims, damages or liabilities relate and other equitable considerations.

(e) If any action, proceeding or investigation is commenced, as to which any Indemnified Party proposes to demand such indemnification, it shall notify the Borrower with reasonable promptness; provided, that, any failure by such Indemnified Party to notify the Borrower shall not relieve the Borrower from its obligations hereunder except to the extent the Borrower is prejudiced thereby. The Borrower shall be entitled to assume the defense of any such action, proceeding or investigation, including the employment of counsel and the payment of all fees and expenses. Each Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in connection with any such action, proceeding or investigation and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid by such Indemnified Party, unless (i) the Borrower has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel as provided herein, (ii) the Borrower has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses of separate counsel or (iii) an action, proceeding or investigation has been commenced against such Indemnified Party and the Borrower and representation of both the Borrower and such Indemnified

Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate because of actual or potential conflicts of interest between the parties (in the case of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, the existence of any such actual or potential conflict of interest to be determined by such party, taking into account, among other things, any relevant regulatory concerns). In the case of any circumstance described in clause (i), (ii), or (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Borrower shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel; provided, that, the Borrower shall not in any event be required to pay the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel (plus appropriate local counsel under the direction of such separate counsel) for all Indemnified Parties, unless representation of all Indemnified Parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicting interests between such Indemnified Parties, in which case, the Borrower shall be required to pay the fees and expenses of such additional counsel as are necessary to prevent such conflicting interests. The Borrower shall be liable only for settlement of any claim against an Indemnified Party made with the Borrower’s written consent.

(f) The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor.

SECTION 9.06. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final except deposits for the payment of payroll taxes) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers against any of and all the obligations of the Borrowers now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 9.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS.

SECTION 9.08. Waivers; Amendment.

(a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further

exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrowers or any other Secured Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 9.08(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrowers in any case shall entitle the Borrowers to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) None of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified (and no consent to the departure by the Borrowers or any other Secured Party therefrom may be effective), except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into (or consented to in writing) by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders; provided, that, no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of or extend the maturity of or date for the payment of any interest on any Loan or of the reimbursement of a Letter of Credit Disbursement, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan or a Letter of Credit Disbursement, without the prior written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (ii) change or extend the Commitments or decrease the Fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender, (iii) except as contemplated by Section 2.10(d), increase the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders without the prior written consent of each Lender, (iv) amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.17 or 9.04(a)(i), the provisions of this Section, the definition of the term “Required Lenders,” release at one time or serially in the aggregate all or substantially all the Guarantors or all or substantially all the Collateral, without the prior written consent of each Lender; and (v) reduce the amount or extend the payment date for any mandatory prepayment required by Section 2.12 provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender (in its capacity as such) or the Issuing Bank hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the execution and delivery of all documentation required by Section 2.10(d) to be delivered in connection with an increase to the Aggregate Commitment, the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and the new or existing Lenders whose Revolving Credit Commitments have been affected may and shall enter into an amendment hereof (which shall be binding on all parties hereto) solely for the purpose of reflecting any new Lenders and their new Revolving Credit Commitments and any increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment of any existing Lender. Each Lender and each holder of a Note shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by this Section 9.08 regardless of whether its Note shall have been marked to make reference thereto, and any consent by any Lender or holder of a Note pursuant to this Section 9.08 shall bind any person subsequently acquiring any Obligation.

SECTION 9.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Notes to the contrary, if at any time the applicable interest rate, together with all fees and charges which are treated as interest under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), as provided for herein or in any other document executed in connection herewith, or otherwise contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by any Lender, shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by such Lender in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable under the affected Note held by such Lender, together with all Charges payable to such Lender, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate.

SECTION 9.10. Entire Agreement.

(a) This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Fee Letter constitute the entire contract among the parties relative to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Any previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof is superseded by this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Fee Letter. Nothing in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Fee Letter, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party (other than the parties hereto and the other Secured Parties) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Fee Letter.

(b) THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT, THE NOTES, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE FEE LETTER AND THE DOCUMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

SECTION 9.11. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 9.12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in several counterparts and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, admissible into evidence, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Agreement, and shall become effective as provided in Section 9.03. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile shall be equally as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile shall also deliver a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement, but the failure to deliver a manually executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.13. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.14. Remedies. In case any one or more of the covenants and/or agreements set forth in this Agreement shall have been breached by any Borrower, then the Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, proceed to protect and enforce the Lenders’ rights either by suit in equity and/or by action at law, including, but not limited to, an action for damages as a result of any such breach and/or an action for specific performance of any such covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Borrowers agree that failure to comply with any of the covenants contained herein will cause irreparable harm and that specific performance shall be available in the event of any breach thereof. The Administrative Agent acting pursuant to this Section 9.14, shall be indemnified against all liability, loss or damage, together with all reasonable costs and expenses related thereto (including reasonable legal and accounting fees and expenses) in accordance with Section 9.05.

SECTION 9.15. Jurisdiction, Consent to Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) Each of the Borrowers hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against any Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) Each of the Borrowers hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of New York. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

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

(d) THE BORROWERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK AND EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED THEREUNDER.

SECTION 9.16. Legend. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONTAINED IN THE COLLATERAL AGENCY AGREEMENT WHICH, AMONG OTHER THINGS, ESTABLISHES CERTAIN RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITY FOR THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES AND THE SHARING OF PROCEEDS THEREOF WITH CERTAIN OTHER SECURED CREDITORS. COPIES OF THE COLLATERAL AGENCY AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED TO ANY HOLDER OF THE NOTES UPON REQUEST TO THE BORROWER.

SECTION 9.17. Judgment Currency.

(a) Each of the Borrower’s and any of its Subsidiaries’ (each, a “Loan Party”) obligations hereunder to make payments in dollars or in any Foreign Currency (the “Obligation Currency”) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent or a Lender of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender under this Agreement. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Loan Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made, at the Dollar Equivalent or the Foreign Currency Equivalent, as applicable, determined in each case as of the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).

(b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, such amount payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be reduced or increased, as applicable, such that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.

SECTION 9.18. Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees to hold any confidential information which it may receive from the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement in confidence, except for disclosure (i) to its Affiliates and to other Lenders and their respective Affiliates, (ii) to legal counsel, accountants, and other professional advisors to such Lender or to a Transferee, (iii) to regulatory officials, (iv) to any person as requested pursuant to or as required by law,

regulation, or legal process, (v) to any person in connection with any legal proceeding to which such Lender is a party, (vi) to such Lender’s direct or indirect contractual counterparties in swap agreements or to legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors to such counterparties, (vii) permitted by Section 9.04(d) and (viii) to rating agencies if requested or required by such agencies in connection with a rating relating to the Loans hereunder.

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

ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWERS OR THE AGENTS PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE BORROWER AND ITS AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.

SECTION 9.19. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Act.

SECTION 9.20. Release of Security Interests. Each Lender hereby consents to the release of (i) all “Collateral” (as such term is defined in that certain Security Agreement (the “Existing Security Agreement”) dated as of December 23, 2005 by the Assignors party thereto (the “Assignors”) in favor of the Collateral Agent), including all after acquired property, in which the Borrowers and the other Assignors granted a security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Existing Security Agreement, and (ii) all “Mortgaged Property” (as defined in each Mortgage (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement)) in and on which the Mortgagor party to such Mortgage granted a security interest and lien in favor of the Collateral Agent pursuant to such Mortgage (the property described in clauses (i) and (ii) is collectively referred to as the “2005 Collateral”). Each Lender hereby instructs and directs the Collateral Agent to release the security interests in and liens on the 2005 Collateral and to execute any and all documents, releases, financing termination statements, agreements and instruments, and take all further action (including filing Uniform Commercial Code and other financing termination statements that may be required under applicable law), in order to effectuate the release of the

2005 Collateral. For the avoidance of doubt, the release of the 2005 Collateral shall not include a release of the existing security interests in the Pledged Securities, General Intangibles and all proceeds thereof (as such terms are defined in the Collateral Agency Agreement) that have been granted in favor of the Collateral Agent.

ARTICLE X

GUARANTY

SECTION 10.01. Guaranty of Payment. The Borrower hereby, absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as primary obligor and not as surety, the full and punctual payment (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or early termination or otherwise, and at all times thereafter) and performance of the Obligations of the Subsidiary Borrower, including without limitation any such Obligations incurred or accrued during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding of the Subsidiary Borrower, whether or not allowed or allowable in such proceeding (collectively, the “Guaranteed Debt”). Upon failure by the Subsidiary Borrower to pay punctually any such amount pursuant to this Agreement or to deposit any amount or deliver any cash collateral, execute any documents or take any other action pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Borrower agrees that it shall forthwith on demand pay to (or deposit with, as applicable) the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and, if applicable, their Affiliates, the amount not so paid or deposited at the place and in the manner specified in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, as the case may be, and shall also execute any documents and take any other action the Subsidiary Borrower is required to execute or take but has failed to execute or take (it being understood that the intent hereof is that to the extent that the Subsidiary Borrower shall fail to provide the Administrative Agent with a perfected first priority security interest in a specified amount of cash collateral as required hereby, the Borrower shall be obligated to make all deposits, sign all documents and take all such other actions as may be required to assure the Administrative Agent such a security interest in such cash collateral). This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. The Borrower waives any right to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to sue the Subsidiary Borrower, any other guarantor, or any other person obligated for all or any part of the Guaranteed Debt, or otherwise to enforce its payment against any collateral securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Debt.

SECTION 10.02. Acceptance of Guaranty; No Setoffs. The Borrower waives notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty and of the extension or incurrence of the Guaranteed Debt or any part thereof. The Borrower further waives all setoffs and counterclaims and presentment, protest, notice, filing of claims with a court in the event of receivership, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Subsidiary Borrower, demand or action on delinquency in respect of the Guaranteed Debt or any part thereof, including any right to require the Administrative Agent, the Issuer or the Participants to sue the Subsidiary Borrower, any other guarantor or any other person obligated with respect to the Guaranteed Debt or any part thereof, or otherwise to enforce payment thereof against any collateral securing the Guaranteed Debt or any part thereof.

SECTION 10.03. Nature of Guaranty; Continuing, Absolute and Unconditional. The Borrower hereby agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, its obligations hereunder shall be continuing, absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and not subject to any

reduction, limitation, impairment, termination, defense (other than indefeasible payment in full), setoff, counterclaim or recoupment whatsoever (all of which are hereby expressly waived by it to the fullest extent permitted by law), whether by reason of any claim of any character whatsoever, including, without limitation, any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise. The validity and enforceability of this Guaranty shall not be impaired or affected by any of the following: (a) any extension, modification or renewal of, or indulgence with respect to, or substitution for, the Guaranteed Debt or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto at any time; (b) any failure or omission to perfect or maintain any lien on, or preserve rights to, any security or collateral or to enforce any right, power or remedy with respect to the Guaranteed Debt or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or any collateral securing the Guaranteed Debt or any part thereof; (c) any waiver of any right, power or remedy or of any default with respect to the Guaranteed Debt or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto or with respect to any collateral securing the Guaranteed Debt or any part thereof; (d) any release, surrender, compromise, settlement, waiver, subordination or modification, with or without consideration, of any collateral securing the Guaranteed Debt or any part thereof, any other guaranties with respect to the Guaranteed Debt or any part thereof, or any other obligations of any person or entity with respect to the Guaranteed Debt or any part thereof; (e) the enforceability or validity of the Guaranteed Debt or any part thereof or the genuineness, enforceability or validity of any agreement relating thereto or with respect to any collateral securing the Guaranteed Debt or any part thereof; (f) the application of payments received from any source to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Debt, any part thereof or amounts which are not covered by this Guaranty even though the Lenders might lawfully have elected to apply such payments to any part or all of the Guaranteed Debt; (g) any change of ownership of the Subsidiary Borrower or the insolvency, bankruptcy or any other change in the legal status of the Subsidiary Borrower; (h) any change in, or the imposition of, any law, decree, regulation or other governmental act which does or might impair, delay or in any way affect the validity, enforceability or the payment when due of the Guaranteed Debt; (i) the failure of the Subsidiary Borrower to maintain in full force, validity or effect or to obtain or renew when required all governmental, insurance and other approvals, licenses or consents required in connection with the Guaranteed Debt, or to take any other action required in connection with the performance of all obligations pursuant to the Guaranteed Debt; (j) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which the Borrower may have at any time against the Subsidiary Borrower or any other guarantor or any other person in connection herewith or with any unrelated transaction; (k) any borrowing, use of cash collateral, or grant of a security interest by the Subsidiary Borrower, as debtor in possession, under any applicable federal, state or foreign bankruptcy or other similar law; (l) the disallowance of all or any portion of any of the Lenders’ claims for repayment of the Guaranteed Debt under any applicable federal, state or foreign bankruptcy or other similar law; or (m) any other fact or circumstance which might otherwise constitute grounds at law or equity for the discharge or release of the Borrower from its obligations hereunder, all whether or not the Borrower shall have had notice or knowledge of any act or omission referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) through (l) of this paragraph. It is agreed that the Borrower’s liability hereunder is independent of any other guaranties or other obligations at any time in effect with respect to the Guaranteed Debt or any part thereof, and that the Borrower’s liability hereunder may be enforced regardless of the existence, validity, enforcement or non-enforcement of any such other guaranties or other obligations or any provision of any applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by the Subsidiary Borrower of the

Guaranteed Debt in the manner agreed upon among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower.

SECTION 10.04. Dealings with the Subsidiary Borrower. Credit may be granted or continued from time to time by Lenders to the Subsidiary Borrower without notice to or authorization from the Borrower regardless of the Subsidiary Borrower’s financial or other condition at the time of any such grant or continuation. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have an obligation to disclose or discuss with the Borrower its assessment of the financial condition of the Subsidiary Borrower.

SECTION 10.05. Subrogation. Until the irrevocable payment in full of the Obligations and termination or expiry of this Agreement and termination of all commitments which could give rise to any Obligation, the Borrower (a) shall not enforce or exercise any right of subrogation with respect to the Guaranteed Debt, (b) hereby waives any right to enforce any remedy which the Administrative Agent or the Lenders now have or may hereafter have against the Subsidiary Borrower, any endorser or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Debt, and (c) hereby waives any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to secure payment of the Guaranteed Debt or any part thereof or any other liability of the Subsidiary Borrower to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders.

SECTION 10.06. Collateral. The Borrower authorizes the Administrative Agent to take any action or exercise any remedy available to them hereunder, under any Loan Document or under applicable law with respect to any cash collateral from time to time securing the Guaranteed Debt, which the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion shall determine, without prior notice to the Borrower (but with prompt written notice to the Borrower after the application of cash collateral). In the event the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in their sole discretion elect to give notice of any action with respect to any cash collateral securing the Guaranteed Debt or any part thereof, ten (10) days’ written notice sent to the Borrower by recognized courier service at the addresses set forth on the signature pages hereto shall be deemed reasonable notice of any matters contained in such notice. The Borrower consents and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lender shall be under any obligation to marshall any assets in favor of the Borrower or against or in payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Debt. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, cash collateral provided hereunder may be applied only to the Obligations.

SECTION 10.07. Rights to Payments, Etc. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Debt is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Subsidiary Borrower, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by the Borrower forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. The Borrower further agrees that, to the extent that any other Borrower makes a payment or payments to any of the Lenders on the Guaranteed Debt (including any payment pursuant to Article VIII), or the Administrative Agent or the Lenders receive any collateral or proceeds of collateral securing the Guaranteed Debt, which payment or receipt of proceeds or collateral or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be returned or repaid to such Borrower, its estate, trustee, receiver, debtor in possession or any other party, including, without limitation, the Borrower, under any insolvency

or bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment, return or repayment, the obligation or part thereof which has been paid, reduced or satisfied by such amount shall be reinstated and continued in full force and effect as of the date when such initial payment, reduction or satisfaction occurred.

SECTION 10.08. No Waiver. No delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of any right, power or remedy shall preclude any further exercise thereof; nor shall any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of any of the terms or provisions of this Guaranty be binding upon the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered on the Lenders’ behalf by the Administrative Agent. The failure by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders at any time or times hereafter to require strict performance by any Borrower (including, without limitation, the Borrower hereunder) of any of the provisions, warranties, terms and conditions contained in any promissory note, security agreement, agreement, guaranty, instrument or document now or at any time or times hereafter executed pursuant to the terms of, or in connection with, this Agreement by any Borrower and delivered to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders at any time or times hereafter to demand strict performance thereof, and such right shall not be deemed to have been waived by any act or knowledge of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, their agents, officers or employees, unless such waiver is contained in an instrument in writing duly signed and delivered on the Lenders’ behalf by the Administrative Agent. No waiver by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of any default shall operate as a waiver of any other default or the same default on a future occasion, and no action by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders permitted hereunder shall in any way affect or impair the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ rights or powers, or the obligations of the Borrower under this Guaranty. Any determination by a court of competent jurisdiction of the amount of any Guaranteed Debt owing by the Subsidiary Borrower to the Lenders shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower irrespective of whether the Borrower was a party to the suit or action in which such determination was made.

SECTION 10.09. Setoff. In addition to and without limitation of any rights, powers or remedies of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under applicable law, any time after maturity of the Guaranteed Debt, whether by acceleration or otherwise, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may, in their sole discretion, with prompt written notice after the fact to the Borrower and regardless of the acceptance of any security or collateral for the payment hereof, appropriate and apply toward the payment of outstanding Guaranteed Debt (a) any indebtedness due or to become due from any of the Lenders to the Borrower, and (b) any moneys, credits or other property belonging to the Borrower (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) at any time held by or coming into the possession of any of the Administrative Agent or any Lender whether for deposit or otherwise.

SECTION 10.10. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Article X shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Guaranty shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Guaranty.

SECTION 10.11. Miscellaneous. It is understood that while the amount of the Guaranteed Debt guaranteed hereby is not limited, if in any action or proceeding involving any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, this Guaranty would be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of the aggregate liability under this Guaranty with respect to the Borrower, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty to the contrary, the aggregate amount of such liability shall, with respect to the Borrower, without any further action of the Administrative Agent, the Issuer, the Participants or any other person, be automatically limited and reduced with respect to the Borrower to the highest amount which is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding. The obligations of the Borrower under this Article X shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
