Within the foregoing limits, and on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, the Borrowers’ ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrowers may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

(ii) Notwithstanding the L/C Issuer’s agreements in Section 2.03(a), the L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with

-39-

jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it;

(B) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), (1) in the case of any Standby Letter of Credit, the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last renewal or (2) in the case of any Commercial Letter of Credit, the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than 180 days after the date of issuance or last renewal, in either case unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date;

(C) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Lenders have approved such expiry date;

(D) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the L/C Issuer or the terms and conditions of the applicable Letter of Credit Application;

(E) such Letter of Credit is in violation of the UCP or other applicable law; or

(F) such Letter of Credit is in a face amount less than $100,000 (or the Dollar equivalent thereof on the date of issuance), in the case of a commercial Letter of Credit, or $100,000 (or the Dollar equivalent thereof on the date of issuance), in the case of any other type of Letter of Credit.

(iii) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Evergreen Letters of Credit.

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrowers delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrowing Agent. Such L/C Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 9:00 a.m., at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which date shall be a Business Day); (B) the

-40-

amount thereof; (C) the currency in which such Letter of Credit is to be issued; (D) the expiry date thereof; (E) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (F) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder, (H) the account party thereunder, and (I) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which date shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such L/C Application from the Borrowers and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by the L/C Issuer of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the applicable Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.

Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share times the amount of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit.

(iii) If the Borrowers so request in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Evergreen Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Evergreen Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Nonrenewal Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, no Borrower shall be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such renewal. Once an Evergreen Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to a date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the Nonrenewal Notice Date from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such renewal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the L/C Issuer shall have no obligation to permit the renewal of any Evergreen Letter of Credit at any time.

(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary

-41-

thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(i) Upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of the amount to be paid by the L/C Issuer as a result of such drawing and the date on which payment is to be made by the L/C Issuer to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit in respect of such drawing. Not later than 9:00 a.m., on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrowers shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrowers fail to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share thereof. In such event, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Loan Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.01 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment and the conditions set forth in Section 3.03 (other than the delivery of a Notice of Revolving Loan Borrowing). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided, that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Each Lender (including the Lender acting as L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s office in an amount equal to its Revolving Proportionate Share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrowers in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Loan Borrowing because the conditions set forth in Section 3.03 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate applicable to Revolving Loans upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. In such event, each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

(iv) Until each Lender funds its Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any

-42-

Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.

(v) Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for, or participate in, amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. Any such reimbursement shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrowers or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), or any payment of interest thereon, the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Revolving Proportionate Share thereof in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Revolving Proportionate Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit, and to repay each L/C Borrowing and each drawing under a Letter of Credit that is refinanced by a Borrowing of Revolving Loans, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the

-43-

terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents under all circumstances, including the following:

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

(ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the obligations of the Borrowers in respect of any Letter of Credit or any other amendment or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, all or any of the Credit Documents;

(iii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that a Borrower or any Subsidiary of a Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iv) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(v) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

(vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrowers.

The Borrowers shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrowers’ instructions or other irregularity, the Borrowers will immediately notify the L/C Issuer. The Borrowers shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each of the Borrowers and the Lenders agrees that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the L/C Issuer nor any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers,

-44-

employees, agents or advisors nor any of the correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. The Borrowers hereby assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrowers’ pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the L/C Issuer nor any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors nor any of the correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrowers, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrowers which the Borrowers prove were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(g) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, the Borrowers shall immediately Cash Collateralize the Obligations in an amount equal to 107% of the then Effective Amount of the L/C Obligations. The Borrowers hereby grant the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, a Lien on all such cash and deposit account balances described in the definition of “Cash Collateralize” as security for the Obligations. Cash collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Wells Fargo or other institutions satisfactory to it which accounts, in any case, are subject to Control Agreements pursuant to which the Lenders have “control” as such term is used in the UCC, sufficient to perfect a security interest in such cash collateral. The Lien held by the Administrative Agent in such cash collateral to secure the Obligations shall be released upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions: (a) no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding, (b) all L/C Obligations shall have been repaid in full and (c) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(h) Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Borrowers when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law

-45-

& Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each Standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (the “UCP”), as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) at the time of issuance (including the ICC decision published by the Commission on Banking Technique and Practice on April 6, 1998 regarding the European single currency (euro)) shall apply to each Commercial Letter of Credit.

(i) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay the following Letter of Credit fees:

(i) With respect to each Commercial Letter of Credit, concurrently with the issuance of each such Commercial Letter of Credit, to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Revolving Proportionate Share, a one-time non-refundable Commercial Letter of Credit fee equal to 1/4 of 1% of the stated amount of such Commercial Letter of Credit; provided, however, that the applicable Commercial Letter of Credit fee payable in connection with the issuance of any Commercial Letter of Credit shall be no less than $250. Such fee, when due, shall be fully earned and when paid, shall be non-refundable.

(ii) With respect to each Standby Letter of Credit, to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Revolving Proportionate Share, a Standby Letter of Credit fee for each such Standby Letter of Credit for the period from the date of issuance of such Standby Letter of Credit until the expiry thereof, at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans (plus an additional 2% if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) applicable from time to time during such period multiplied by the actual daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Standby Letter of Credit. Such fee for each Standby Letter of Credit shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Standby Letter of Credit and on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date. Each such fee, when due, shall be fully earned, and when paid, shall be non-refundable. If there is any change in the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans during any quarter, the Applicable Margin used for the calculation of the Letter of Credit Fee shall be the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans on each day during such quarter.

(j) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The Borrowers shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee in an amount with respect to each Letter of Credit (whether standby or commercial) equal to the greater of $250 and 1/4 of 1% of the amount of such Letter of Credit, due and payable upon each L/C Credit Extension with respect to such Letter of Credit and such fee shall be payable in Dollars; provided, that in the case of an increase in the amount of a Letter of Credit after the issuance thereof, such fronting fee shall be payable only on the increased amount thereof. In addition, the Borrowers shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment, negotiation and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such fees and charges are due and payable on demand and once paid, are nonrefundable.

-46-

(k) Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control.

(l) Trade Bank as L/C Issuer. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, at its option, Wells Fargo, as L/C Issuer may arrange for Letters of Credit to be issued by Trade Bank as agent for Wells Fargo. All parties hereto understand and agree that to the extent any Letters of Credit are issued by Trade Bank as agent for Wells Fargo, (i) Trade Bank is agent only to Wells Fargo and not to the Borrowers and has no obligations to the Borrowers, (ii) the Letters of Credit issued by Trade Bank will be deemed Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer for all purposes hereunder and (iii) any of the obligations performed or rights exercised pursuant to or in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit by Trade Bank shall be deemed obligations performed or rights exercised by Wells Fargo as L/C Issuer. To the extent that the L/C Issuer is required to provide any notices to, or take any other actions for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent hereunder, with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by Trade Bank, no such notice or action shall be required.

2.04. Swing Line.

(a) The Swing Line. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) in Dollars to the Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Funding Date to the date ten days prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Effective Amount of Revolving Loans of the Swing Line Lender in its capacity as a Lender of Revolving Loans, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the aggregate Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time, and (ii) the aggregate Effective Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender), plus such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of the Effective Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment, and provided, further, that the Swing Line Lender shall not make any Swing Line Loan to refinance an outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.07, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrowers’ irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon, on the requested borrowing date, and shall

-47-

specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which amount shall be a minimum amount of $100,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Notice of Swing Line Borrowing, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrowing Agent, which notice may be delivered by facsimile. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Notice of Swing Line Borrowing, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Notice of Swing Line Borrowing and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m., on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 3.03 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 4:00 p.m., on the borrowing date specified in such Notice of Swing Line Borrowing, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrowers at its office by crediting the account of the Borrowers on the books of the Swing Line Lender in immediately available funds.

(i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrowers (which hereby irrevocably requests the Swing Line Lender to act on its behalf) under this subsection (c), that each Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.01, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment and the conditions set forth in Section 3.03. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrowers with a copy of the applicable Revolving Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall make an amount equal to its Revolving Proportionate Share of the amount specified in such Revolving Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 12:00 noon, on the day specified in such Revolving Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrowers in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If for any reason any Revolving Loan Borrowing cannot be requested in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i) or any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Loan Borrowing, the Revolving Loan Notice submitted by the Swing Line Lender shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

-48-

(iii) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. Any such purchase of participations shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Revolving Proportionate Share of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participation was outstanding and funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender, each Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Revolving Proportionate Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender.

(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. Subject to Section 2.08(c), each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrowers for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Revolving Proportionate Share shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender. The Borrowers shall pay accrued interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Swing Line Loan upon prepayment (to the extent thereof), on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter and at maturity.

-49-

(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrowers shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

2.05. Amount Limitations, Commitment Reductions, Etc.

(a) Total Revolving Loan Commitment. The Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans, L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time.

(b) Optional Reduction or Cancellation of Commitments. The Borrowers may, upon three (3) Business Days written notice to the Administrative Agent (each a “Reduction Notice”), duly executed and delivered by a Responsible Officer of the Borrowing Agent, permanently reduce the Total Revolving Loan Commitment by the amount of $500,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or cancel the Total Revolving Loan Commitment in its entirety; provided, however, that:

(i) The Borrowers may not reduce the Total Revolving Loan Commitment prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, if, after giving effect to such reduction, the Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans, L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans then outstanding would exceed the Total Revolving Loan Commitment; and

(ii) The Borrowers may not cancel the Total Revolving Loan Commitment prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, if, after giving effect to such cancellation, any Revolving Loan would then remain outstanding.

Any Reduction Notice shall be irrevocable; provided that any Reduction Notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrowers (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date previously provided in the applicable Reduction Notice) if such condition is not satisfied.

(i) The Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall be automatically and permanently reduced by an amount equal to the maximum amount that would be required to be applied as a mandatory prepayment of the Swing Line Loans and the Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.07(c)(iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) (without regard to the actual usage of such Commitment), such reduction to be effective on the date of the required prepayment.

(ii) The Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

(iii) The Total Term Loan Commitment shall automatically and permanently reduced to zero at the close of business on the Funding Date.

(d) Effect of Commitment Reductions. From the effective date of any reduction of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment, the Commitment Fees payable pursuant to

-50-

Section 2.06(b) shall be computed on the basis of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment as so reduced. Once reduced or cancelled, the Total Revolving Loan Commitment may not be increased or reinstated without the prior written consent of all Lenders. Any reduction of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to Section 2.05(a) shall be applied ratably to reduce each Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment in accordance with clause (i) of Section 2.11(a).

2.06. Fees.

(a) Administrative Agent’s Fee and Arrangement Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the agent’s fees and the arrangement fee, and such other compensation in the amounts and at the times set forth in the Fee Letter.

(b) Commitment Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders as provided in clause (v) of Section 2.11(a), commitment fees (collectively, the “Commitment Fees”) equal to the Commitment Fee Percentage of the daily average Unused Commitment for the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date. The Borrowers shall pay the Commitment Fees in arrears on the last Business Day in each March, June, September and December (commencing June 30, 2004) and on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (or if the Total Revolving Commitment is cancelled on a date prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, on such prior date).

2.07. Prepayments.

(a) Terms of All Prepayments. Upon the prepayment of any Loan (whether such prepayment is an optional prepayment under Section 2.07(b), a mandatory prepayment required by Section 2.07(c) or a mandatory prepayment required by any other provision of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, including a prepayment upon acceleration), the Borrowers shall pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender that made such Loan all accrued interest and fees to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid and (ii) to such Lender if such prepayment is the prepayment of a LIBOR Loan or of a LIBOR Portion on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan or such LIBOR Portion, all amounts payable to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.14.

(b) Optional Prepayments.

(i) At their option, the Borrowers may, without premium or penalty but subject to Section 2.14 in the case of LIBOR Loans and LIBOR Portions, upon one (1) Business Day’s notice from the Borrowing Agent to the Administrative Agent in the case of Base Rate Loans or Base Rate Portions or three (3) Business Days’ notice from the Borrowing Agent to the Administrative Agent in the case of LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Portions, prepay the Base Rate Loans or Base Rate Portions in any Borrowing and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon in part, in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, or in whole and prepay the LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Portions in any Borrowing and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon in part, in a minimum principal amount of $500,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, or in whole. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment; provided that if such prepayment is on any day other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loan, the

-51-

Borrowers shall be subject to the payments required by Section 2.14. If such notice is given by the Borrowing Agent, the Borrowers shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. All prepayments under this Section 2.07(b) which are applied to reduce the principal amount of the Loans shall be applied to the Term Loans and shall reduce the most remote remaining scheduled payments. All prepayments shall be applied first to the accrued but unpaid interest on and fees in connection with, and then any principal of the Term Loans until paid in full (in the manner set forth in Section 2.07(d)), second to the accrued but unpaid interest on and then any principal of the Swing Line Loans until paid in full, third to the accrued but unpaid interest on and then any principal of the Revolving Loans until paid in full and finally to Cash Collateralize the Obligations in an amount equal to the Effective Amount of the L/C Obligations. In each case, to the extent possible, such principal payment shall be first applied to prepay Base Rate Loans and Base Rate Portions and then if any funds remain, to prepay LIBOR Loans and LIBOR Portions; provided that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time any such prepayment is made, the Lenders shall apply such prepayments to such Obligations as the Administrative Agent may determine in its discretion which determination shall be effective as to all Lender (but for regulatory purposes, the Lenders may apply such payments internally as they shall determine).

(ii) At their option, the Borrowers may, upon notice by a Responsible Officer of the Borrowing Agent to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided, that (A) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (B) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrowing Agent, the Borrowers shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

(i) If, at any time, the Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations then outstanding exceeds the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time, the Borrowers shall immediately (A) prepay the Swing Line Loans to the extent Swing Line Loans in a sufficient amount are then outstanding, (B) then prepay the Revolving Loans to the extent Revolving Loans in a sufficient amount are then outstanding and (C) otherwise, Cash Collateralize the Obligations in an amount equal to the then Effective Amount of the L/C Obligations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess.

(ii) The Borrowers shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur of (A) the date ten Business Days after such Loan is made and (B) Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

(iii) If, during any calendar year, any Loan Party sells or otherwise disposes of any assets (other than sales permitted under Sections 5.02(c)), the Borrowers shall,

-52-

immediately after the completion of each sale or other disposition, prepay the outstanding Term Loans and the other Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 2.07(d), in an aggregate principal amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Proceeds from such sale or other disposition; provided, however, that if such sale or other disposition occurs prior to the time when the Term Loans have been loaned to the Borrowers, such sale or other disposition shall result in an automatic and permanent reduction of the Term Loan Commitment in an amount equal to the amount that would otherwise have been required to be prepaid pursuant to this Section had such Term Loans been outstanding at such time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall not be required to make a prepayment pursuant to this clause (iii) with respect to any sale (a “Relevant Sale”) if the Borrowing Agent advises the Administrative Agent in writing at the time the Net Proceeds from such Relevant Sale are received that the Borrowers intend to reinvest all or any portion of such Net Proceeds in replacement assets to the extent (A) such Net Proceeds are in fact committed to be reinvested by the Borrowers pursuant to a purchase contract providing for the acquisition of such replacement assets that is executed by one or more Borrower and the related seller within 90 days from the date of such Relevant Sale and (B) the acquisition of such replacement assets occurs within 180 days from the date on which such purchase contract is so executed and delivered. If, at any time after the occurrence of a Relevant Sale and prior to the acquisition of the related replacement assets, the 90 or 180-day period provided in clause (A) or (B) of the preceding sentence shall elapse without execution of the related purchase contract (in the case of clause (A)) or the occurrence of the related acquisition (in the case of clause (B)) or a Default shall occur, then the Borrowers shall immediately prepay the Loans in the amount and in the manner described in the first sentence of this clause (iii).

(iv) If, at any time after the Funding Date, any Loan Party issues or incurs any Indebtedness for borrowed money, including Indebtedness evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures or other similar instruments but excluding Permitted Indebtedness, the Borrowers shall, immediately after such issuance or incurrence, prepay the outstanding Term Loans and the other Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 2.07(d), in an aggregate principal amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Proceeds of such Indebtedness; provided, however, that if such issuance or incurrence occurs prior to the time when the Term Loans have been loaned to the Borrowers, such issuance or incurrence shall result in an automatic and permanent reduction of the Term Loan Commitment in an amount equal to the amount that would otherwise have been required to be prepaid pursuant to this Section had such Term Loans been outstanding at such time.

(v) If, at any time, any Loan Party issues or sells any Equity Securities resulting in Net Proceeds, the Borrowers shall, immediately after such issuance or sale, prepay the outstanding Term Loans and the other Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 2.07(d), in an aggregate principal amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Net Proceeds of such Equity Securities; provided, however, that if such issuance or sale occurs prior to the time when the Term Loans have been loaned to the Borrowers, such issuance or sale shall result in an automatic and permanent reduction of the Term Loan Commitment in an amount equal to the amount that would otherwise have been required to be prepaid pursuant to this Section had such Term Loans been outstanding at such time; and provided, further, however, that if some or all of the proceeds of such issuance or sale of Equity Securities are used to prepay all or a portion of the Permitted Subordinated Indebtedness, the amount used to prepay such Permitted Subordinated

-53-

Indebtedness shall not be included in the calculation of any mandatory prepayment required pursuant to this Section 2.07(c)(v).

(vi) If at any time, the Borrowers prepay or redeem all or portion of the Alliance Subordinated Indebtedness prior to the stated maturity or at maturity thereof in accordance with Section 5.02(f) hereof, the Borrowers shall, concurrently with such prepayment or redemption, prepay the outstanding Term Loans and the other Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 2.07(d), in an aggregate principal amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of such prepayment or redemption; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be required to prepay the Term Loans and other Obligations to the extent such prepayment or redemption of the Alliance Subordinated Indebtedness is being made with the proceeds of Equity Securities in accordance with the final proviso in Section 2.07(c)(v) hereof.

(vii) The Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time of each prepayment required under this Section 2.07(c), (A) a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrowing Agent setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment and (B) to the extent practicable, at least three days prior written notice of such prepayment. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the Type and principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid. In the event that the Borrowers shall subsequently determine that the actual amount was greater than the amount set forth in such certificate, the Borrowers shall promptly make an additional prepayment of the Loans (and/or, if applicable, the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be permanently reduced) in an amount equal to the amount of such excess, and the Borrowers shall concurrently therewith deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrowing Agent demonstrating the derivation of the additional amount resulting in such excess.

(d) Application of Term Loan Prepayments. Subject to Section 2.08(d), all prepayments of the Term Loans shall be applied as follows: first, to reduce the principal amount payable by the Borrowers on the most remote scheduled Term Loan Installment Date and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon until such scheduled payment (and unpaid interest) is reduced to zero and second, to reduce the aggregate principal amount payable by the Borrowers on the then remaining Term Loan Installment Dates in the inverse order of their due dates. If after giving effect to such application of a prepayment, the Term Loans have been paid in full, any unapplied portion thereof shall be applied as follows: (A) to prepay the Swing Line Loans to the extent Swing Line Loans are then outstanding, (B) then to prepay the Revolving Loans to the extent Revolving Loans are then outstanding and (C) otherwise, to Cash Collateralize the Obligations in an amount equal to 107% of the then Effective Amount of the L/C Obligations. Without modifying the order of application of prepayments set forth in the preceding sentence, all such prepayments shall, to the extent possible, be first applied to prepay Base Rate Loans and Base Rate Portions and then if any funds remain, to prepay LIBOR Loans and LIBOR Portions.

2.08. Other Payment Terms.

(a) Place and Manner. All payments to be made by the Borrowers under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. The Borrowers shall make all payments due to each Lender or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Credit Document by

-54-

payments to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s office located at the address specified in Section 8.01, with each payment due to a Lender to be for the account of such Lender and such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office. The Borrowers shall make all payments under this Agreement or any other Credit Document in lawful money of the United States and in same day or immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date due. The Administrative Agent shall promptly disburse to each Lender each payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender.

(b) Date. Whenever any payment due hereunder shall fall due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be.

(c) Default Rate. On and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, until the time when such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived by the Required Lenders or all the Lenders (as required by this Agreement), the Borrowers shall pay interest on the aggregate, outstanding principal amount of all Obligations hereunder at a per annum rate equal to the otherwise applicable interest rate plus two percent (2.00%) or, if no such per annum rate is applicable to any such Obligations, at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate, plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans (the “Default Rate”) payable on demand. Overdue interest shall itself bear interest at the Default Rate, and shall be compounded with the principal Obligations daily, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(d) Application of Payments. All payments hereunder shall be applied first to unpaid fees, costs and expenses then due and payable under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, second to accrued interest then due and payable under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents and finally to reduce the principal amount of outstanding Loans and L/C Borrowings.

(e) Failure to Pay the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowing Agent at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that the Borrowers have made or will make such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be paid to the Lenders on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lenders. If and to the extent the Borrowers shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender and not paid by the Borrowers, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at a per annum rate equal to (i) the Federal Funds Rate for the first three (3) days and (ii) the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans thereafter. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amount owing by such Lender under this Section 2.08(e) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.09. Loan Accounts; Notes.

-55-

(a) Loan Accounts. The obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans made to it by each Lender and to pay interest thereon at the rates provided herein shall be evidenced by an account or accounts maintained by such Lender on its books (individually, a “Loan Account”), except that any Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a note or notes pursuant to Section 2.09(b) and Section 2.09(c). Each Lender shall record in its Loan Accounts (i) the date and amount of each Loan made by such Lender, (ii) the interest rates applicable to each such Loan and each Portion thereof and the effective dates of all changes thereto, (iii) the Interest Period for each LIBOR Loan and LIBOR Portion, (iv) the date and amount of each principal and interest payment on each Loan and Portion and (v) such other information as such Lender may determine is necessary for the computation of principal and interest payable to it by the Borrowers hereunder; provided, however, that any failure by a Lender to make, or any error by any Lender in making, any such notation shall not affect the Borrowers’ Obligations. The Loan Accounts shall be conclusive absent manifest error with respect to the matters noted therein. In addition to the Loan Accounts, each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control.

(b) Revolving Loan Notes. If any Lender so requests, such Lender’s Revolving Loans shall be evidenced by a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit H (individually, a “Revolving Loan Note”) which note shall be (i) payable to the order of such Lender, (ii) in the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment, (iii) dated the Funding Date and (iv) otherwise appropriately completed. The Borrowers authorize each Lender to record on the schedule annexed to such Lender’s Revolving Loan Note the date and amount of each Revolving Loan made by such Lender and of each payment or prepayment of principal thereon made by the Borrowers, and agrees that all such notations shall be conclusive absent manifest error with respect to the matters noted; provided, however, that any failure by a Lender to make, or any error by any Lender in making, any such notation shall not affect the Borrowers’ Obligations. The Borrowers further authorize each Lender to attach to and make a part of such Lender’s Revolving Loan Note continuations of the schedule attached thereto as necessary. If, because any Lender designates separate Applicable Lending Offices for Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans, such Lender requests that separate promissory notes be executed to evidence separately such Loans, then each such note shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit H, mutatis mutandis to reflect such division, and shall be (w) payable to the order of such Lender, (x) in the amount of such Lender’s Commitment, (y) dated the Funding Date and (z) otherwise appropriately completed. Such notes shall, collectively, constitute a Revolving Loan Note.

(c) Term Loan Notes. If any Lender so requests, such Lender’s Term Loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit I (individually, a “Term Loan Note”) which note shall be (i) payable to the order of such Lender, (ii) in the amount of such Lender’s Term Loan, (iii) dated the Funding Date and (iv) otherwise appropriately completed. If, because any Lender designates separate Applicable Lending Offices for Base Rate Portions and LIBOR Portions, such Lender requests that separate promissory notes be executed to evidence separately such Portions, then each such note shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit I, mutatis mutandis to reflect such division, and shall be (w) payable to the

-56-

order of such Lender, (x) in the amount of such Lender’s Term Loan, (y) dated the Funding Date and (z) otherwise appropriately completed. Such notes shall, collectively, constitute a Term Loan Note.

(d) Swing Line Notes. The Swing Line Lender’s Swing Line Loans shall be evidenced by a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit J (individually, a “Swing Line Note”) which note shall be (i) payable to the order of the Swing Line Lender, (ii) in the amount of the Swing Line Lender’s Swing Line Loans, (iii) dated the Funding Date and (iv) otherwise appropriately completed.

2.10. Loan Funding.

(a) Lender Funding and Disbursement to the Borrowers. Each Lender shall, before 11:00 a.m. on the date of each Revolving Borrowing, make available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s office specified in Section 8.01, in same day or immediately available funds, such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share or Term Proportionate Share, as the case may be, of such Borrowing. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.03 (and, if such Revolving Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 3.02), the Administrative Agent shall promptly make all funds so received available to the Borrowers in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrowers maintained on the books of the Administrative Agent (which account shall be a joint account of the Borrowers) with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowing Agent to such account; provided, however, that if, on the date of the Borrowing there are Swing Line Loans and/or L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied, first, to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, second, to the payment in full of any such Swing Line Loans, and third, to the Borrowers as provided above.

(b) Lender Failure to Fund. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Revolving Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of such Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that such Lender has made or will make such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Revolving Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.10(a), and the Administrative Agent may on such date, in reliance upon such assumption, disburse or otherwise credit to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. If any Lender does not make the amount of its such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of any Revolving Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date of such Revolving Borrowing, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, interest which shall accrue on such amount from the date of such Revolving Borrowing until such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent at rates equal to (i) the daily Federal Funds Rate during the period from the date of such Revolving Borrowing through the third Business Day thereafter and (ii) the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans thereafter. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amount owing by such Lender under this Section 2.10(b) shall be conclusive absent manifest error with respect to such amount. If the amount of any Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of any Revolving Borrowing is not paid to the Administrative Agent by such

-57-

Lender within three (3) Business Days after the date of such Revolving Borrowing, the Borrowers shall repay such amount to the Administrative Agent, on demand, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount was disbursed to the Borrowers until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Revolving Borrowing.

(c) Lenders’ Obligations Several. The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing or to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Loan as part of such Borrowing or fund its participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans, but no Lender shall be obligated in any way to make any Loan or fund any participation in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans which another Lender has failed or refused to make or otherwise be in any way responsible for the failure or refusal of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing or to fund any participation required to be funded by such other Lender.

2.11. Pro Rata Treatment.

(a) Borrowings, Commitment Reductions, Etc. Except as otherwise provided herein:

(i) Each Revolving Loan and reduction of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall be made or shared among the Lenders pro rata according to their respective Revolving Proportionate Shares;

(ii) The Term Loan Borrowing shall be made or shared among the Lenders pro rata according to their respective Term Proportionate Shares;

(iii) Each payment of principal on Loans in any Borrowing shall be shared among the Lenders which made or funded the Loans in such Borrowing pro rata according to the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Loans then owed to such Lenders;

(iv) Each payment of interest on Loans in any Borrowing shall be shared among the Lenders that made or funded the Loans in such Borrowing pro rata according to (A) the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Loans so made or funded by such Lenders and (B) the dates on which such Lenders so made or funded such Loans;

(v) Each payment of Commitment Fees shall be shared among the Lenders with Revolving Loan Commitments (except for Defaulting Lenders) pro rata according to (A) their respective Revolving Proportionate Shares and (B) in the case of each Lender which becomes a Lender hereunder after the date hereof, the date upon which such Lender so became a Lender;

(vi) Each payment of any fees due in connection with any amendment hereto or any waiver of or forbearance from any Event of Default existing hereunder shall be shared among those Lenders consenting to such amendment, waiver or forbearance or as otherwise agreed to by such Lenders;

-58-

(vii) Each payment of interest (other than interest on Loans) and fees (other than Commitment Fees) shall be shared among the Lenders and the Administrative Agent owed the amount upon which such interest accrues pro rata according to (A) the respective amounts so owed such Lenders and the Administrative Agent and (B) the dates on which such amounts became owing to such Lenders and the Administrative Agent; and

(viii) All other payments under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be for the benefit of the Person or Persons specified.

(b) Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) on account of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it, in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Loans and the L/C Obligations obtained by all Lenders entitled to such payments, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans and/or participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such other Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

2.12. Change of Circumstances.

(a) Inability to Determine Rates. If, on or before the first day of any Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion, (i) any Lender shall advise the Administrative Agent that the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period cannot be adequately and reasonably determined due to the unavailability of funds in or other circumstances affecting the London interbank market or (ii) any Lender shall advise the Administrative Agent that the rate of interest for such Loan or Portion, as the case may be, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining such LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion, the Administrative Agent shall immediately give written notice of such condition to the Borrowers and the other Lenders. After the giving of any such notice and until the Administrative Agent shall otherwise notify the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such condition no longer exist, the Borrowers’ right to request the making of, conversion to or a new Interest Period for LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Portions shall be suspended. Any LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Portions outstanding at the commencement of any such suspension shall be converted at the end of the then current Interest Period for such LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Portions into Base Rate Loans or Base Rate Portions, as the case may be, unless such suspension has then ended.

-59-

(b) Illegality. If, after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any Governmental Rule, any change in any Governmental Rule or the application or requirements thereof (whether such change occurs in accordance with the terms of such Governmental Rule as enacted, as a result of amendment or otherwise), any change in the interpretation or administration of any Governmental Rule by any Governmental Authority, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority (a “Change of Law”) shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make or maintain any LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion, such Lender shall immediately notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers in writing of such Change of Law. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrowers’ right to request the making of, conversion to or a new Interest Period for LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Portions with respect to such Lender shall be terminated, and (ii) the Borrowers shall, at the request of such Lender, either (A) pursuant to Section 2.01(d) or Section 2.02(d), as the case may be, convert any such then outstanding LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Portions of such Lender into Base Rate Loans or Base Rate Portions, as the case may be, at the end of the current Interest Period for such LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Portions or (B) immediately repay or convert any such LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Portions of such Lender if such Lender shall notify the Borrowers that such Lender may not lawfully continue to fund and maintain such LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Portions. Any conversion or prepayment of LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Portions made pursuant to the preceding sentence prior to the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Portions shall be deemed a prepayment thereof for purposes of Section 2.14. After any Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers of such a Change of Law and until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that it is no longer unlawful or impossible for such Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion, (such notice to be given promptly in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers at such time as it is no longer unlawful or impossible for such Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion), all Revolving Loans and all Portions of the Term Loan of such Lender shall be Base Rate Loans and Base Rate Portions, respectively.

(i) Shall subject any Lender to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments by the Borrowers to any Lender on such a LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion or in respect to such a LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion under this Agreement (except for changes in the rate of taxation on the overall net income of any Lender imposed by its jurisdiction of incorporation or the jurisdiction in which its principal executive office or Applicable Lending Office is located); or

(ii) Shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve (excluding any Reserve Requirement or other reserve to the extent included in the calculation of the LIBOR Rate for any Loans or Portions), special deposit or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or any other acquisition of funds by any Lender for any LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion; or

(iii) Shall impose on any Lender any other condition related to any LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion or such Lender’s Commitments;

-60-

and the effect of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, renewing, or maintaining any such LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion or its Commitments or to reduce any amount receivable by such Lender hereunder; then the Borrowers shall from time to time, within five (5) Business Days after demand by such Lender, pay to such Lender additional amounts sufficient to reimburse such Lender for such increased costs or to compensate such Lender for such reduced amounts. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of such increased costs or reduced amounts, submitted by such Lender to the Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Capital Requirements. If, after the date of this Agreement, any Lender determines that (i) any Change of Law affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any Person controlling such Lender (a “Capital Adequacy Requirement”) and (ii) the amount of capital maintained by such Lender or such Person which is attributable to or based upon the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement must be increased as a result of such Capital Adequacy Requirement (taking into account such Lender’s or such Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender or such Person, within ten (10) Business Days after demand of such Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by the certificate referred to below), such amounts as such Lender or such Person shall determine are necessary to compensate such Lender or such Person for the increased costs to such Lender or such Person of such increased capital. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of such increased costs, submitted by any Lender to the Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 2.12(d) shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12(d) for any increased costs incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor.

(e) Notice, Reasonable Commercial Efforts. Any Lender which becomes aware of (i) any Change of Law that will make it unlawful or impossible for such Lender to make or maintain any LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion or (ii) any Change of Law or other event or condition that will obligate a Borrower to pay any amount pursuant to Section 2.12(c) or Section 2.12(d) shall notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent thereof as promptly as practical. If any Lender has given notice of any such Change of Law or other event or condition and thereafter becomes aware that such Change of Law or other event or condition has ceased to exist, such Lender shall notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent thereof as promptly as practical. Each Lender affected by any Change of Law which makes it unlawful or impossible for such Lender to make or maintain any LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion or to which a Borrower is obligated to pay any amount pursuant to Section 2.12(c) or Section 2.12(d) shall use reasonable commercial efforts (including changing the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office) to avoid the effect of such Change of Law or to avoid or materially reduce any amounts which a Borrower is obligated to pay pursuant to Section 2.12(c) or Section 2.12(d) if, in the reasonable opinion of such Lender, such efforts would not be disadvantageous to such Lender or contrary to such Lender’s normal lending practices.

-61-

2.13. Taxes on Payments.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.13, any and all payments by the Borrowers in respect of principal or interest on any Loan, fee, or other Obligation or other amount due to any Lender under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction for, any and all present or future United States federal, state or local and foreign taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, including withholding taxes imposed by the United States, any jurisdiction under the laws of which a Borrower is organized, and other jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof, but excluding (i) taxes imposed on such Lender’s overall net income and franchise taxes imposed on such Lender by the United States or the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof and (ii) any branch profits taxes imposed on any Lender by the United States or by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being referred to herein as “Taxes”). If a Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender, then (i) subject to the last sentence of Section 2.13(f), the sum payable shall be increased by the amount necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.13) such Lender shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make all required deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law (other than with respect to income taxes for which such Lender(s) are entitled to receive a credit from the relevant taxing authority).

(b) In addition, the Borrowers agree to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Credit Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) Subject to the last sentence of Section 2.13(f), the Borrowers will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.13) paid by such Lender, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Such indemnification shall be made within 30 days following the date such Lender makes written demand therefor accompanied by documentation evidencing payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes.

(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes withheld hereunder (and, with respect to any Taxes or Other Taxes not so withheld, to the extent available), the Borrowers will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address set forth in Section 8.01, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

-62-

(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement contained herein, the agreements and obligations contained in this Section 2.13 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other Obligations hereunder.

(f) Each Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States of America agrees that if and to the extent it is legally able to do so, it shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, on or before the first date of any payment by the Borrowers hereunder, such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the Internal Revenue Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto, including Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (as applicable to it) and any other certificate or statement or exemption required by Treasury Regulation section 1.1441-1(a) or section 1.1441-6(c) or any subsequent version thereof, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender establishing that such payment is (i) not subject to withholding under the Internal Revenue Code because such payment is effectively connected with the conduct by such Lender of a trade or business in the United States of America or (ii) totally exempt from United States withholding tax or subject to a reduced rate of such tax under a provision of an applicable tax treaty. Each Lender that has delivered such certificate or form shall, upon such certificate or form’s obsolescence, expiration or invalidity or upon the Borrowers’ reasonable request, replace or update such certificate or form as necessary. Within 30 days after the reasonable request of a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, each Lender that is not a foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent one or more Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent upon the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender pursuant to this paragraph. A Lender shall not be entitled to any additional amounts under Section 2.13(a) or to any indemnification under Section 2.13(c) with respect to any Tax (x) that is in effect and would apply to amounts payable to such Lender, at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement by assignment or designates a new Applicable Lending Office, except to the extent that (a) in the case of a Lender who becomes a Lender by assignment, the assignor of such Lender at the time of assignment, or (b) in the case of a designation of a new Applicable Lending Office, such Lender immediately prior to such designation, would have been entitled to receive additional amounts or indemnity from the Borrowers with respect to any withholding tax pursuant to Section 2.13(a) or Section 2.13(c), (y) that is attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with this Section 2.13(f) or Section 2.13(g) or (z) has already been reimbursed to such Lender pursuant to the terms of Section 2.12(c).

(g) Each Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax or other tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrowers are located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to any payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or other Tax or at a reduced rate, provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and, in such Lender’s sole judgment, such completion, execution or delivery would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender or be contrary to its internal policies.

-63-

(h) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts in respect of Taxes payable pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions and such Lender’s internal policies) to file any certificate or document requested by the Borrowers or to change its Applicable Lending Office to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if the making of such a filing or change of Applicable Lending Office would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such Taxes attributable to the Loans and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, result in any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense or otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.

(i) Nothing contained in this Section 2.13 shall require any Lender or the Administrative Agent to make available any of its tax returns or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.

2.14. Funding Loss Indemnification. If the Borrowers shall (a) repay, prepay or convert any LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor (whether a scheduled payment, an optional prepayment or conversion, a mandatory prepayment or conversion, a payment upon acceleration or otherwise), (b) fail to borrow any LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion for which a Notice of Borrowing has been delivered to the Administrative Agent (whether as a result of the failure to satisfy any applicable conditions or otherwise) or (c) fail to convert any Revolving Loans into LIBOR Loans or any Portion of a Term Loan into a LIBOR Portion in accordance with a Notice of Conversion delivered to the Administrative Agent (whether as a result of the failure to satisfy any applicable conditions or otherwise), the Borrowers shall pay to the appropriate Lender within five (5) Business Days after demand a prepayment fee, failure to borrow fee or failure to convert fee, as the case may be (determined as though 100% of the LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion had been funded in the London interbank eurodollar currency market) equal to the sum of:

(a) $250; plus

(b) the amount, if any, by which (i) the additional interest would have accrued on the amount prepaid or not borrowed at the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans if that amount had remained or been outstanding through the last day of the applicable Interest Period exceeds (ii) the interest that such Lender could recover by placing such amount on deposit in the London interbank eurodollar currency market for a period beginning on the date of the prepayment or failure to borrow and ending on the last day of the applicable Interest Period (or, if no deposit rate quotation is available for such period, for the most comparable period for which a deposit rate quotation may be obtained); plus

(c) all out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by such Lender reasonably attributable to such payment, prepayment or failure to borrow.

Each Lender’s determination of the amount of any prepayment fee payable under this Section 2.14 shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 2.14 shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

-64-

2.15. Security.

(a) Security Documents. The Loans, together with all other Obligations, shall be secured by the Liens created by the Security Documents. So long as the terms thereof are in compliance with this Agreement, each Lender Rate Contract shall be secured by the Lien of the Security Documents (a) on a pari passu basis to the extent of the associated Termination Value, and (b) to the extent of any excess, on a basis which is in all respects subordinated to all other Obligations.

ARTICLE VII. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND RELATIONS AMONG THE LENDERS.

7.01. Appointment, Powers and Immunities.

(a) Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as its agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents with such powers as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and to exercise such powers as are set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, be a trustee for any Lender or have any fiduciary duty to any Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any applicable Governmental Rule. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible to any other Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party contained in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or for any failure by any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent may each employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible to any Lender for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors shall be responsible to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Except as otherwise provided under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to the Credit Documents as shall be directed by the Required Lenders. If Administrative Agent seeks the consent or approval of any Lender to the taking or refraining from taking any action hereunder, then Administrative Agent shall send notice thereof to each Lender.

(b) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith until such time (and except for so long) as the Administrative Agent may agree at the request of the Required Lenders to act for the L/C Issuer with respect thereto; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article VII with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the application and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to the Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in

-98-

this Article VII included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.

7.02. Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to rely upon any certificate, notice or other document (including any cable, telegram, facsimile or telex) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent with reasonable care. As to any other matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action or exercise any discretion, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting upon instructions of the Required Lenders and shall in all cases be fully protected by the Lenders in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or under any other Credit Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders (or all Lenders if required by Section 8.04), and such instructions of the Required Lenders (or all the Lenders as the case may be) and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders.

7.03. Defaults. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default unless the Administrative Agent has received a written notice from a Lender or the Borrowers, referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. If the Administrative Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders. Notwithstanding anything in the contrary contained herein, the order and manner in which the Lenders’ rights and remedies are to be exercised (including, without limitation, the enforcement by any Lender of its Note) shall be determined by the Required Lenders in their sole discretion.

7.04. Indemnification. Without limiting the Obligations of the Borrowers hereunder, each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, ratably in accordance with its Proportionate Share, for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in refusing to take or in continuing to take any action hereunder unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The obligations of each Lender under this Section 7.04 shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations, the termination of this Agreement and any Lender ceasing to be a party to this Agreement (with respect to events which occurred prior to the time such Lender ceased to be a Lender hereunder).

-99-

7.05. Non-Reliance. Each Lender represents that it has, independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent, or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of the business, prospects, management, financial condition and affairs of the Loan Parties and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of their respective affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors shall (a) be required to keep any Lender informed as to the performance or observance by any Loan Party of the obligations under this Agreement or any other document referred to or provided for herein or to make inquiry of, or to inspect the properties or books of any Loan Party; (b) have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning any Loan Party which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent, except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder; or (c) be responsible to any Lender for (i) any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or any officer, employee or agent of any Loan Party in this Agreement or in any of the other Credit Documents, (ii) the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Credit Document, (iii) the value or sufficiency of the Collateral or the validity or perfection of any of the liens or security interests intended to be created by the Credit Documents, or (iv) any failure by any Loan Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document.

7.06. Resignation or Removal of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which successor Administrative Agent, if not a Lender, shall be reasonably acceptable Borrowers; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall have no right to approve a successor Administrative Agent if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from the duties and obligations thereafter arising hereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VII shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Wells Fargo may not be removed as Administrative Agent at the request of the Required Lenders unless Wells Fargo shall also simultaneously be replaced and fully released as “L/C Issuer” and “Swing Line Lender” hereunder pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Wells Fargo.

7.07. Collateral Matters.

(a) The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by each Lender, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, and without the obligation to take any such action, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or any Security Document which may from time to time be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens of the Security Documents.

(b) The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release (and to execute and deliver such documents, instruments and agreements as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary to release) any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments and the full Cash Collateralization of the then outstanding L/C Obligations and the payment in full of all Loans and all other Obligations payable under this Agreement and under the other Credit Documents; (ii) constituting property of the Loan Parties which is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in connection with any transaction not prohibited by this Agreement or the Credit Documents; (iii) constituting property leased to the Loan Parties under an operating lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction not prohibited by this Agreement or the Credit Documents or which will concurrently expire and which has not been and is not intended by the Loan Parties to be, renewed or extended; (iv) consisting of an instrument, if the Indebtedness evidenced thereby has been paid in full; or (v) if approved or consented to by those of the Lenders required by Section 8.04. Upon request by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 7.07.

(c) Unless all the Lenders otherwise consent in writing, any and all cash collateral for the Obligations shall be released to the Borrowers, to the extent not applied to the Obligations, only if (i) the Commitments have been terminated (ii) all Obligations have been paid in full and are no longer outstanding, including, without limitation, any L/C Obligations or any other contingent obligations.

7.08. The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of banking or other business with the any Loan Party and its Affiliates as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder. With respect to Loans, if any, made by the Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender, the Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, and the terms “Lender” or “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender.

7.09. Release of Collateral. At such time as (i) all of the Obligations, including all principal, interest and other amounts owing with respect to the Loans or the Notes, the Borrowers’ obligations to reimburse the L/C Issuer for drawings under Letters of Credit and the other obligations under the Credit Documents (other than obligations under Sections 2.12(c), 2.13, 2.14 and 8.02 that are not then due and payable) shall have been paid in full in cash, the Commitments have been terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have been discharged or cash collateralized to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent and L/C Issuer in

-101-

amount equal to 107% of the aggregate face amount thereof, and (ii) the counterparties and other beneficiaries under Lender Rate Contracts have evidenced their agreement to release of the Collateral in a writing or other manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or at such time as certain Collateral has been sold or disposed of in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement), the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to release the Collateral (or such portion of the Collateral, as applicable) from the Liens created by the Security Documents; provided, however, that, (x) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to the benefits of all the ongoing reimbursement obligations and indemnities set forth in the Credit Documents, including without limitation those set forth in Sections 2.12(c), 2.13, 2.14 and 8.02 of this Agreement, in each case subject to the limitations set forth therein, if any, and (y) to the extent that any payments or proceeds received pursuant hereto or otherwise in respect of the Obligations, or any part of such payments, shall be subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent, a fraudulent conveyance, or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to the Borrowers, any Guarantor, a trustee, receiver, debtor in possession, or any other party, whether under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, or otherwise, then to the extent that such payment or proceeds received by any such Person is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any such Person, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, the obligations or part thereof which were intended to be satisfied, and all rights of such Person with respect to such obligations (including all liens and security interests and other similar interests arising pursuant to the Credit Documents), shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had never been received by such Person, and this section or any release thereunder shall in no way impair the claims of any of such Persons with respect to such revived obligations. The Administrative Agent shall, if so requested by any Loan Party at or after such termination, upon agreement of such Loan Party or other Person to pay all cost and expenses relating thereto (including all legal fees and costs) acceptable to the Administrative Agent and without recourse, and without any representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, execute, deliver and (if necessary) acknowledge such termination statements or releases as may be necessary or reasonably appropriate to confirm, assure or give notice of such termination and take such actions as may be necessary to redeliver or release all Collateral within its control.

ARTICLE VIII. MISCELLANEOUS.

The Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender:		Wells Fargo Bank Wholesale Loan Services - Agency Division 201 Third Street, 8th floor San Francisco, CA Fax no. (415) 512-7059

The Borrowers:

Each Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Conversion and Notice of Interest Period Selection shall be given by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent’s office located at the address referred to above during the Administrative Agent’s normal business hours; provided, however, that any such notice received by the Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m. on any Business Day shall be deemed received by the Administrative Agent on the next Business Day. In any case where this Agreement authorizes notices, requests, demands or other communications by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to be made by telephone or facsimile, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may conclusively presume that anyone purporting to be a person designated in any incumbency certificate or other similar document received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender is such a person.

8.02. Expenses. The Borrowers shall pay on demand, whether or not any Credit Event occurs hereunder, (a) all fees and expenses, including syndication expenses, travel expenses, attorneys’ consultants’ and experts’ fees (including allocated costs of internal counsel) and expenses, incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the syndication of the facilities provided hereunder, the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of, and the exercise of its duties under, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of amendments and waivers hereunder and thereunder and (b) all fees and expenses, including customary attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the enforcement or attempted enforcement of any of the Obligations or in preserving any of the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ rights and remedies (including, without limitation, all such fees and expenses incurred in connection with any “workout” or restructuring affecting the Credit Documents or the Obligations or any bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving any Loan Party). The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 8.02 shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

8.03. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, and in addition to any other indemnity set forth in the Credit Documents, the Borrowers agree to protect, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender, the Lenders and their Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys, agents, trustees and advisors (collectively, “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, costs, disbursements, or expenses of any kind or nature and from any suits, claims or demands (including in respect of or for customary attorneys’ fees and other expenses) arising on account of, in connection with or relating to (a) the Credit Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or related thereto, including the

-103-

making of any Loans and any use by a Borrower of any proceeds of the Loans or the Letters of Credit, (b) any Environmental Damages, (c) the Acquisition or any transaction contemplated in connection therewith (or any other acquisitions consummated, announced or intended to be consummated), (d) any claims for brokerage fees or commissions in connection with the Credit Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or in connection with a Borrower’s failure to conclude any other financing, and to reimburse each Indemnitee on demand for all customary legal and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending, or (e) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether such Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 8.03 shall obligate the Borrowers to protect, indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Indemnitee against any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, costs, disbursements, or expenses of any kind or nature and from any suits, claims or demands (i) to the extent arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates or (ii) between or among Indemnitees. No Indemnitee will be liable to the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates or to their respective security holders or creditors for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages relating to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or any of the other matters described in the preceding sentence or for any damages arising from the use by others of confidential information or other materials sent through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmittal systems. Upon receiving knowledge of any suit, claim or demand asserted by a third party that the Administrative Agent or any Lender believes is covered by this indemnity, the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall give the Borrowers written notice of the matter and the Administrative Agent or such Lender may select its own counsel or request that the Borrowers defend such suit, claim or demand, with legal counsel satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or such Lender as the case may be, at the Borrowers’ sole cost and expense; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall not be required to so notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have the right to defend, at the Borrowers’ sole cost and expense, any such matter that is in connection with a formal proceeding instituted by any Governmental Authority having authority to regulate or oversee any aspect of the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s business or that of its Affiliates. The Administrative Agent or such Lender may also require the Borrowers to defend the matter. Any failure or delay of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to notify the Borrowers of any such suit, claim or demand shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligations under this Section 8.03 but shall reduce such obligations to the extent of any increase in those obligations caused solely by any such failure or delay. Expenses of counsel to the Indemnitees shall be reimbursed on a current basis by the Borrowers. The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 8.03 shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

8.04. Waivers; Amendments. Any term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Agreement or any other Credit Document may be amended or waived, and any consent under this Agreement or any other Credit Document may be given, if such amendment, waiver or consent is in writing and is signed by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Required Lenders with the written approval of the Required Lenders); provided, however, that:

(a) Any amendment, waiver or consent which would (i) increase the Total Revolving Loan Commitment or the Total Term Loan Commitment, (ii) extend the Revolving

-104-

Loan Maturity Date or the Term Loan Maturity Date, (iii) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan or L/C Borrowing, or any fees or other amounts payable for the account of the Lenders hereunder or under any other Credit Document, (iv) extend any date fixed for any payment of the principal of or interest on any Loans or any fees or other amounts payable for the account of the Lenders hereunder or under any other Credit Document, (v) amend this Section 8.04 or Section 2.11, (vi) amend the definition of Required Lenders or modify in any other manner the number or percentage of the Lenders required to make any determinations or to waive any rights under, or to modify any provision of, this Agreement or any other Credit Document or (vii) release any Guarantor or any substantial part of the Collateral, except for any release in connection with a sale or other disposition of such Guarantor or such Collateral authorized by Section 5.02(c), must be in writing and signed or approved in writing by all Lenders. In connection with any such proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination requiring the consent of all Lenders (such proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination, a “Proposed Change”), if the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this Section 8.04 being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as the Lender that is acting as the Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, at the Borrower’s request, the Lender that is acting as the Administrative Agent or an Eligible Assignee (which can include an existing Lender) that is acceptable to the Administrative Agent shall have the right with the Administrative Agent’s consent and in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lender, and such Non-Consenting Lender hereby agrees that it shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, sell and assign to the Lender that is acting as the Administrative Agent or such Eligible Assignee, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including for purposes of this subsection (a), the Revolving Loan Commitments, the Revolving Loans, the Term Loan Commitments, the Term Loans, L/C Advances and participations in Swing Line Loans) for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Revolving Loans, Term Loans, L/C Advances and aggregate amounts funded under Section 2.04(c)(ii) in respect of Swing Line Loans, by the Non-Consenting Lender and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale (or such other amounts as may be agreed upon by the Non-Consenting Lender and the assignee). In such event, such Non-Consenting Lender agrees to execute an Assignment Agreement to reflect such purchase and sale, but regardless of whether such Assignment Agreement is executed, such Non-Consenting Lender’s rights hereunder, except rights under Section 8.03 with respect to actions prior to such date, shall cease from and after the date of tender by the purchaser of the amount of the purchase price;

(b) Any amendment, waiver or consent which increases or decreases the Proportionate Share of any Lender must be in writing and signed by such Lender;

(c) Any amendment, waiver or consent which affects the rights or duties of the Swing Line Lender under this Agreement must be in writing and signed by the Swing Line Lender;

(d) Any amendment, waiver or consent which affects the rights or duties of the L/C Issuer under this Agreement or any Letter of Credit Application relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it must be in writing and signed by the L/C Issuer; and

-105-

(e) Any amendment, waiver or consent which affects the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent must be in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent.

No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right hereunder or thereunder nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other further exercise thereof or of any other right hereunder or thereunder. Unless otherwise specified in such waiver or consent, a waiver or consent given hereunder shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. The Lenders may condition the giving or making of any amendment, waiver or consent of any term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Agreement or any other Credit Document on payment of a fee by the Borrowers.

8.05. Successors and Assigns.

(a) Binding Effect. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, all future holders of the Notes and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that no Loan Party may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under any Credit Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender. Any purported assignment or transfer in contravention of the foregoing shall be null and void.

(b) Participations. Any Lender may, without notice to or consent of the Borrowers, at any time sell to one or more banks or other financial institutions (“Participants”) participating interests in all or a portion of any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans). In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of its Notes for all purposes under this Agreement and the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any such sale is effected may require the selling Lender to obtain the consent of the Participant in order for such Lender to agree in writing to any amendment, waiver or consent of a type specified in Section 8.04(a) but may not otherwise require the selling Lender to obtain the consent of such Participant to any other amendment, waiver or consent hereunder. The Borrowers agree that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents are not paid when due (whether upon acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and any other Credit Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Documents; provided, however, that (i) no Participant shall exercise any rights under this sentence without the consent of the Administrative Agent, (ii) no Participant shall have any rights under this sentence which are greater than those of the selling Lender and (iii) such rights of setoff shall be subject to the obligation of such Participant to share the payment so obtained with all of the Lenders entitled

-106-

thereto as provided in Section 2.11(b). The Borrowers also agree that any Lender which has transferred any participating interest in its Commitment or Loans shall, notwithstanding any such transfer, be entitled to the full benefits accorded such Lender under Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14, as if such Lender had not made such transfer.

(c) Assignments. Any Lender may, at any time, sell and assign to any Lender or any Eligible Assignee (individually, an “Assignee Lender”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including for purposes of this subsection (c), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) (such a sale and assignment to be referred to herein as an “Assignment”) pursuant to an assignment agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit K (an “Assignment Agreement”), executed by each Assignee Lender and such assignor Lender (an “Assignor Lender”) and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided, however, that:

(i) Each Assignee Lender shall provide appropriate assurances and indemnities (which may include letters of credit) to the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender as each may require with respect to any continuing obligation to purchase participation interests in any L/C Obligations or any Swing Line Loans then outstanding;

(ii) Without the written consent of the Administrative Agent and, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers (which consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no Lender may make any Assignment to any Assignee Lender which is not, immediately prior to such Assignment, a Lender hereunder or an Affiliate thereof;

(iii) Without the written consent of the Administrative Agent and, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no Lender may make any Assignment to any Assignee Lender if, after giving effect to such Assignment, the Commitment or Loans of such Lender or such Assignee Lender would be less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (except that a Lender may make an Assignment which reduces its Commitment or Loans to zero without the written consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent except to the extent such written consent is required by clause (ii) above and clause (iv) below); and

(iv) No Lender may make any Assignment which does not assign and delegate an equal pro rata interest in such Lender’s Revolving Loans, Term Loan, Commitments and all other rights, duties and obligations of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Any assignment made in contravention of the foregoing shall be null and void.

Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording of each Assignment Agreement, from and after the Assignment Effective Date determined pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, (A) each Assignee Lender thereunder shall be a Lender hereunder with a Revolving Loan Commitment and Loans (including, without limitation, Term Loans) as set forth on Attachment 1 to such Assignment Agreement and shall have the rights, duties and obligations of such a Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and (B) the Assignor Lender thereunder shall be a Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment and Loans (including, without limitation,

-107-

Term Loans) as set forth on Attachment 1 to such Assignment Agreement or, if the Revolving Loan Commitment and Loans of the Assignor Lender have been reduced to $0, the Assignor Lender shall cease to be a Lender and to have any obligation to make any Loan; provided, however, that any such Assignor Lender which ceases to be a Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of any provision of this Agreement which by its terms survives the termination of this Agreement. Each Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to amend Schedule I to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of each Assignee Lender, the deletion of each Assignor Lender which reduces its Revolving Loan Commitment and Loans to $0 and the resulting adjustment of Revolving Loan Commitment and Loans arising from the purchase by each Assignee Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of an Assignor Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. On or prior to the Assignment Effective Date determined pursuant to each Assignment Agreement, the Borrowers, at their own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, in exchange for the surrendered Revolving Loan Note or Term Loan Note, if any, of the Assignor Lender thereunder, a new Revolving Loan Note or Term Loan Note to the order of each Assignee Lender thereunder that requests such a note (with each new Revolving Loan Note to be in an amount equal to the Revolving Loan Commitment assumed by such Assignee Lender and each new Term Loan Note to be in the original principal amount of the Term Loan then held by such Assignee Lender) and, if the Assignor Lender is continuing as a Lender hereunder, a new Revolving Loan Note or Term Loan Note to the order of the Assignor Lender if so requested by such Assignor Lender (with the new Revolving Loan Note to be in an amount equal to the Revolving Loan Commitment retained by it and the new Term Loan Note to be in the original principal amount of the Term Loan retained by it). Each such new Revolving Loan Note and Term Loan Note shall be dated the Funding Date or the applicable Assignment Effective Date, as determined by the Administrative Agent, and each such new Note shall otherwise be in the form of the Note replaced thereby. The Notes surrendered by the Assignor Lender shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers marked “Replaced”. Each Assignee Lender which was not previously a Lender hereunder and which is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof shall, within three (3) Business Days of becoming a Lender, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or successor applicable form), as the case may be, certifying in each case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Wells Fargo assigns all of its Commitments and Loans pursuant to subsection (c) above, Wells Fargo may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon five Business Days’ notice to the Borrowers, terminate the Swing Line. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or termination of the Swing Line, the Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrowers to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Wells Fargo as L/C Issuer or the termination of the Swing Line, as the case may be. Wells Fargo shall retain all the rights and obligations of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Revolving Loans or fund participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.04(c)). If Wells Fargo terminates the Swing Line, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line

-108-

Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such termination, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Revolving Loans or fund participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c).

(d) Register. The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 8.01 a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments or Loans of each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Registration. Upon its receipt of an Assignment Agreement executed by an Assignor Lender and an Assignee Lender (and, to the extent required by Section 8.05(c), by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent) together with payment to the Administrative Agent by Assignor Lender of a registration and processing fee of $3,500, the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment Agreement and (ii) on the Assignment Effective Date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the Borrowers. The Administrative Agent may, from time to time at its election, prepare and deliver to the Lenders and the Borrowers a revised Schedule I reflecting the names, addresses and respective Commitments or Loans of all Lenders then parties hereto.

(f) Confidentiality. Subject to Section 8.10, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the Credit Documents and any financial or other information relating to the Borrowers and all Subsidiaries of a Borrower to each other or to any potential Participant or Assignee Lender.

(g) Pledges to Federal Reserve Banks. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any Lender may at any time assign all or a portion of its rights under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall relieve the assigning Lender from its obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

(h) Assignments by Wells Fargo. Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 8.05 to the contrary, no Assignment by Wells Fargo shall be subject to the requirements set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) of the proviso of Section 8.05(c) until the syndication of the Commitments and the Loans has been successfully completed (as determined by Wells Fargo in its sole discretion), and no registration or processing fee shall be payable in connection with any such Assignment by Wells Fargo.

8.06. Setoff by Lenders. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent but without prior notice to or consent of the Borrowers, any such notice and consent being expressly

-109-

waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to set-off and apply against the Obligations any amount owing from such Lender to the Borrowers. The aforesaid right of set-off may be exercised by such Lender against the Borrowers or against any trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of the Borrowers or against anyone else claiming through or against the Borrowers or such trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact that such right of set-off may not have been exercised by such Lender at any prior time. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

8.07. No Third Party Rights. Nothing expressed in or to be implied from this Agreement is intended to give, or shall be construed to give, any Person, other than the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns hereunder (and any Indemnitees), any benefit or legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by virtue of this Agreement or under or by virtue of any provision herein.

8.08. Partial Invalidity. If at any time any provision of this Agreement is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the law or any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction shall in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

8.09. Jury Trial. EACH OF THE BORROWERS, THE LENDERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AS TO ANY ISSUE RELATING HERETO IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT.

8.10. Confidentiality. Neither any Lender nor the Administrative Agent shall disclose to any Person any information with respect to any Loan Party which is furnished pursuant to this Agreement or under the other Credit Documents which is marked or identified as “confidential”, except that any Lender or the Administrative Agent may disclose any such information (a) to its own directors, officers, employees, auditors, counsel and other advisors and to its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers and employees; (b) to any other Lender or the Administrative Agent; (c) which is otherwise available to the public; (d) if required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any Governmental Authority having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender or the Administrative Agent; (e) if required in response to any summons or subpoena; (f) in connection with any enforcement by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent of their rights under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or any litigation among the parties relating to the Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby; (g) to comply with any Requirement of Law applicable to such Lender or the Administrative Agent; (h) to any Assignee Lender or Participant or any prospective Assignee Lender or Participant, provided that such Assignee Lender or Participant or prospective Assignee Lender or Participant agrees to be bound by this Section 8.10; or (i) otherwise with the prior

consent of such Loan Party; provided, however, that any disclosure made in violation of this Agreement shall not affect the obligations of the Loan Parties under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents; and provided, further, however, that the parties hereto (and each of their Affiliates and each respective employee, representative or other agent thereof) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the “structure” and “tax aspects” (in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4T) of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kid (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are or have been provided to such Person relating to such structure and tax aspects, except that, with respect to any document or similar item that in either case contains information concerning such tax structure or tax aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby as well as other information, this proviso shall only apply to such portions of the document or similar item that relate to such tax structure or tax aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby.

8.11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of identical counterparts, any set of which signed by all the parties hereto shall be deemed to constitute a complete, executed original for all purposes. Transmission by telecopier of an executed counterpart of this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute due and sufficient delivery of such counterpart.

8.12. Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the Loan Parties irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Nevada and the courts of the United States of America located in the State of Nevada and agrees that any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents may be brought against such party in any such courts. Final judgment against any party in any such action, suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction by suit on the judgment, a certified or exemplified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the judgment, or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Section 8.12 shall affect the right of any party to commence legal proceedings or otherwise sue any other party in any other appropriate jurisdiction, or concurrently in more than one jurisdiction, or to serve process, pleadings and other papers upon any other party in any manner authorized by the laws of any such jurisdiction. The Borrowers agree that process served either personally or by registered mail shall, to the extent permitted by law, constitutes adequate service of process in any such suit. Each of the Loan Parties irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (a) any objection which it may have now or in the future to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit or proceeding in any court referred to in the first sentence above; (b) any claim that any such action, suit or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum; (c) its right of removal of any matter commenced by any other party in the courts of the State of Nevada to any court of the United States of America; (d) any immunity which it or its assets may have in respect of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document from any suit, execution, attachment (whether provisional or final, in aid of execution, before judgment or otherwise) or other legal process; and (e) any right it may have to require the moving party in any suit, action or proceeding brought in any of the courts referred to above arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document to post security for the costs of any party or to post a bond or to take similar action.

8.13. Relationship of Parties. The relationship between the Borrowers, on the one hand, and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, on the other, is, and at all times shall

-111-

remain, solely that of borrowers and lenders. Neither the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent shall under any circumstances be construed to be partners or joint venturers of the Borrowers or any of its Affiliates; nor shall the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent under any circumstances be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or trust or a fiduciary relationship with the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates, or to owe any fiduciary duty to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates. The Lenders and the Administrative Agent do not undertake or assume any responsibility or duty to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or otherwise inform the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates of any matter in connection with its or their Property, any security held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or the operations of the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates. The Borrowers and their Affiliates shall rely entirely on their own judgment with respect to such matters, and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information undertaken or assumed by any Lender or the Administrative Agent in connection with such matters is solely for the protection of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and neither the Borrowers nor any of their Affiliates is entitled to rely thereon.

8.14. Time. Time is of the essence as to each term or provision of this Agreement and each of the other Credit Documents.

8.15. Waiver of Punitive Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each Borrower hereby agrees that it shall not seek from the Lenders or the Administrative Agent punitive damages under any theory of liability.

8.16. Arbitration.

(a) Arbitration. The parties hereto agree, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders or the Borrowers, to submit to binding arbitration all claims, disputes and controversies between or among them (and their respective employees, officers, directors, attorneys, and other agents), whether in tort, contract or otherwise arising out of or relating to in any way (i) the Loans and related Credit Documents which are the subject of this Agreement and its negotiation, execution, collateralization, administration, repayment, modification, extension, substitution, formation, inducement, enforcement, default or termination, or (ii) requests for additional credit.

(b) Governing Rules. Any arbitration proceeding will (i) proceed in a location in Nevada in which the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) has an office as selected by the party filing such proceeding; (ii) except as to the conduct of a proceeding which shall be governed as provided in clause (iii) of this Section 8.16(b), be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code), notwithstanding any conflicting choice of law provision in any of the documents between the parties; and (iii) be conducted by the AAA, or such other administrator as the parties shall mutually agree upon, in accordance with the AAA’s commercial dispute resolution procedures, unless the claim or counterclaim is at least $1,000,000.00 exclusive of claimed interest, arbitration fees and costs in which case the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the AAA’s optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes (the commercial dispute resolution procedures or the optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes to be referred to, as applicable, as the “Rules”). If there is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the Rules, the terms and

-112-

procedures set forth herein shall control. Any party who fails or refuses to submit to arbitration following a demand by any other party shall bear all costs and expenses (including fees of attorneys or expert witnesses) incurred by such other party in compelling arbitration of any dispute. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by any party that is a bank of the protections afforded to it under 12 U.S.C. §91 or any similar applicable state law.

(c) No Waiver of Provisional Remedies, Self-Help and Foreclosure. The arbitration requirement does not limit the right of any party to (i) foreclose against real or personal property collateral; (ii) exercise self-help remedies relating to collateral or proceeds of collateral such as setoff or repossession; or (iii) obtain provisional or ancillary remedies such as replevin, injunctive relief, attachment or the appointment of a receiver, before during or after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding. This exclusion does not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of any party to submit any dispute to arbitration or reference hereunder, including those arising from the exercise of the actions detailed in sections (i), (ii) and (iii) of this subsection.

(d) Arbitrator Qualifications and Powers. Any arbitration proceeding in which the amount in controversy is $5,000,000.00 or less will be decided by a single arbitrator selected according to the Rules, and who shall not render an award of greater than $5,000,000.00, then two additional arbitrators shall be appointed and the proceeding shall be decided in the manner set forth in the next sentence. Any dispute in which the amount in controversy exceeds $5,000,000.00 shall be decided by majority vote of a panel of three arbitrators; provided however, that all three arbitrators must actively participate in all hearings and deliberations. The arbitrator will be a neutral attorney licensed in the State of Nevada or a neutral retired judge of the state or federal judiciary of Nevada, in either case with a minimum of ten years experience in the substantive Nevada law applicable to the subject matter of the dispute to be arbitrated. The arbitrator will determine whether or not an issue is arbitratable and will give effect to the statutes of limitation and any other legal defense in determining any claim. In any arbitration proceeding the arbitrator will decide (by documents only or with a hearing at the arbitrator’s discretion) any pre-hearing motions which are similar to motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim or motions for summary adjudication. The arbitrator shall resolve all disputes in accordance with the substantive law of Nevada and may grant any remedy or relief that a court of such state could order or grant within the scope hereof and such ancillary relief as is necessary to make effective any award. The arbitrator shall also have the power to award recovery of all costs and fees, to impose sanctions and to take such other action as the arbitrator deems necessary to the same extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Nevada Rules of Civil Procedure or other applicable law. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The institution and maintenance of an action for judicial relief or pursuit of a provisional or ancillary remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the plaintiff, to submit the controversy or claim to arbitration if any other party contests such action for judicial relief.

(e) Discovery. In any arbitration proceeding discovery will be permitted in accordance with the Rules. All discovery shall be expressly limited to matters directly relevant to the dispute being arbitrated and must be completed no later than 20 days before the hearing date and within 180 days of the filing of the dispute with the AAA. Any requests for an extension of the discovery periods, or any discovery disputes, will be subject to final

-113-

determination by the arbitrator upon a showing that the request for discovery is essential for the party’s presentation and that no alternative means for obtaining information is available.

(f) Class Proceedings and Consolidations. The resolution of any dispute arising pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be determined by a separate arbitration proceeding and such dispute shall not be consolidated with other disputes or included in any class proceeding.

(g) Payment Of Arbitration Costs And Fees. The arbitrator shall award all costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding.

(h) Miscellaneous. To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the arbitrators and the parties shall take all action required to conclude any arbitration proceeding within 180 days of the filing of the dispute with the AAA. No arbitrator or other party to an arbitration proceeding may disclose the existence, content or results thereof, except for disclosures of information by a party required in the ordinary course of its business or by applicable law or regulation. If more than one agreement for arbitration by or between the parties potentially applies to a dispute, this Section 8.16 shall control. The arbitration provisions set forth in this Section 8.16 shall survive termination, amendment or expiration of any of the Credit Documents or any relationship between the parties.

8.17. Application of Gaming Laws.

(a) This Agreement and the other Credit Documents are subject to Gaming Laws. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (i) it is subject to being called forward by the Gaming Authorities, in their discretion, for licensing or a finding of suitability or to file or provide other information, and (ii) all rights, remedies and powers in or under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, including with respect to the Collateral (including Equity Securities) and the ownership and operation of Gaming Facilities, may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provisions of the Gaming Laws and only to the extent that required approvals (including prior approvals) are obtained from the requisite Governmental Authorities.

(b) Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to cooperate with all Gaming Authorities (or be subject to the provisions of Section 2.16) in connection with the provision of such documents or other information as may be requested by such Gaming Authorities relating to the Loan Parties or to the Credit Documents.

(c) If during the existence of an Event of Default hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents it shall become necessary, or in the opinion of the Required Lenders advisable, for an agent, supervisor, receiver or other representative of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to become licensed under any Governmental Rule as a condition to receiving the benefit of any Collateral encumbered by the Security Documents or other Credit Documents or to otherwise enforce the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Credit Documents, the Borrowers hereby agree to grant such license or licenses and to execute such further documents as may be required in connection with the evidencing of such consent.

-114-

8.18. USA Patriot Act Notification. The following notification is provided to Borrowers pursuant to Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act of 2001, 31 U.S.C. Section 5318:

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person that opens an account, including any deposit account, treasury management account, loan, other extension of credit or other financial services product. What this means for the Borrowers: When an entity Borrower opens an account, the applicable financial institution will ask for such Borrower’s name, business address, taxpayer identification number and other information that will allow the Financial Institution to identify the entity Borrower. The Financial Institution may also ask to see such entity Borrower’s legal organizational documents or other identifying documents.

8.19. Waivers and Agreements of the Borrowers. The parties do not intend to create a suretyship relationship between the Borrowers. If it is determined that any Borrower is a surety of the other Borrowers, the following provisions in this Section 8.19 shall be effective as of the Closing Date:

(a) Without limiting the provisions of Section 1.13, the covenants, agreements and obligations of each Borrower set forth herein are joint and several and shall be primary obligations of such Borrower, and, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, such obligations shall be absolute and unconditional, shall not be subject to any counterclaim, set-off, deduction, diminution, abatement, recoupment, suspension, deferment, reduction or defense (other than full and strict compliance by each Borrower with its obligations hereunder) based upon any claim such Borrower, any other Borrower or any other Person may have against the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any other Person, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, discharged or in any way affected by, any circumstance or condition whatsoever, foreseeable or unforeseeable and without regard to whether such Borrower, any other Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have any knowledge or notice thereof, including, without limitation:

(i) any termination, amendment, modification, addition, deletion or supplement to or other change to any of the terms of any Credit Document in accordance with its terms or any other instrument or agreement applicable to any of the parties hereto or thereto, or any assignment or transfer of any thereof, or any furnishing or acceptance or release of additional security for any Obligation or for the obligations of any Person under any Credit Document, or the failure of any security or the failure of any Person to perfect any interest in any collateral (including, without limitation, the Collateral); any waiver of, or extension of time for the performance of, the payment, performance or observance of any of the obligations, conditions, covenants or agreements contained in any Credit Document, or any other waiver, forbearance, consent, extension, renewal, indulgence, compromise, release, settlement, refunding or other action or inaction under or in respect of any Credit Document or any other instrument or agreement, or under or in respect of any obligation or liability of each Borrower, or the Administrative Agent or any exercise or non-exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect of any such instrument of agreement or any such obligation or liability;

-115-

(ii) any failure, omission or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent to enforce, assert or exercise any right, power or remedy conferred on it in any Credit Document to give notice to any Borrower of the occurrence of an Event of Default;

(iii) any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, assignment for the benefit of creditors, receivership, liquidation, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings with respect to any Borrower or any other Person or any of their respective properties or creditors, or any action taken by any trustee or receiver or by any court in any such proceeding;

(iv) any limitation on the liability or obligations of any Borrower under any Credit Document or any other instrument or agreement, which may now or hereafter be imposed by law, or any discharge, termination, cancellation, frustration, irregularity, invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any thereof; or

(v) any other occurrence, circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, whether foreseen or unforeseen, and any other circumstance (other than full and irrevocable performance and payment of the Obligations) which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable defense, release or discharge or which might otherwise limit recourse against each Borrower, whether or not such Borrower shall have notice or knowledge of the foregoing.

(b) Each Borrower hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) any right of redemption with respect to the Collateral after the sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshalling of the Collateral or other collateral or security for the Obligations and (ii) any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to (A) proceed against any other Borrower or any other Person, (B) proceed against or exhaust any other collateral or security for any of the Obligations or (C) pursue any remedy in the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s power whatsoever. Each Borrower hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any other Borrower or any other Person other than payment in full of the Obligations, including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of the other Borrowers or any other Person, or the enforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the other Borrowers other than payment in full of the Obligations. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agent by one or more judicial or non-judicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Administrative Agent may have against the other Borrowers or any other Person, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Borrower hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been paid in full.

(c) Each Borrower waives, to the extent permitted by law, any defense, right of set-off, claim or counterclaim whatsoever and any and all other rights, benefits, protections and other defenses available to it now or at any time hereafter.

-116-

(d) Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Administrative Agent, even though that election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed such Borrower’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the other Borrowers by the operation of law or otherwise.

(e) Each Borrower represents and warrants that it is fully aware of the financial condition of the other Borrower, and each Borrower delivers this Agreement based solely upon its own independent investigation of the other Borrower’s financial condition and in no part upon any representation or statement of the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect thereto. Each Borrower further represents and warrants that it is in a position to and hereby does assume full responsibility for obtaining such additional information concerning the other Borrower’s financial condition as each Borrower may deem material to its obligations hereunder, and each Borrower is not relying upon, nor expecting the Administrative Agent or any Lender to furnish it any information in the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s possession concerning the other Borrower’s financial condition or concerning any circumstances bearing on the existence or creation, or the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Obligations. Each Borrower hereby waives any duty on the part of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to disclose to each Borrower any facts the Administrative Agent or any Lender may now or hereafter know about any other Borrower, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or such Lender has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which each Borrower intended to assume or has reason to believe that such facts are unknown to such Borrower.
