If any changes in accounting principles from those used in the preparation of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01(e) are hereafter required or permitted by GAAP and are adopted by the Company with the agreement of its independent certified public accountants and such changes result in a change in the components of the calculation of any of the financial covenants, standards or terms found in Article 5 hereof, the Company and the Agent agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions so as to equitably reflect such changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the Company’s financial condition shall be the same after such changes as if such changes had not been made; provided, however, that no change in GAAP that would affect the components of the calculation of any of such financial covenants, standards or terms shall be given effect in such calculations until such provisions are amended, in a manner satisfactory to the Agent, to so reflect such change in accounting principles. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any sale of accounts receivable, chattel paper, instruments, general intangibles and related equipment or inventory or any other assets by the Company or any Subsidiary which constitutes a sale of such assets under GAAP as in effect from time to time and any related third party transfer or financing with respect to such assets shall not constitute Debt under this Agreement or the grant of a Lien on such assets for purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of this Section to the contrary, whether any such sale constitutes a sale shall be determined by SFAS 140 or any successor pronouncement from and after its respective effective date.

Section 1.04. [Reserved].

Section 1.05. Exchange Rates; Currency Equivalents. (a) The Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall determine the Spot Rates as of each Revaluation Date to be used for calculating Dollar Equivalent amounts of Advances and Letters of Credit and amounts denominated in Alternative Currencies. Such Spot Rates shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the Spot Rates employed in converting any amounts between the applicable currencies until the next Revaluation Date to occur. Except as

otherwise provided herein, the applicable amount of any currency (other than Dollars) for purposes of the Loan Documents shall be such Dollar Equivalent amount as so determined by the Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable.

(b) Wherever in this Agreement in connection with an A Borrowing, the conversion, continuation or prepayment of an Advance or the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in Dollars, but such A Borrowing, Advance or Letter of Credit is denominated in an Alternative Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Alternative Currency Equivalent of such Dollar amount (rounded to the nearest unit of such Alternative Currency, with 0.5 of a unit being rounded upward), as determined by the Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank, as the case may be.

Section 1.06. Additional Currencies. (a) The Company may from time to time request that A Advances be made and/or Letters of Credit be issued in a currency other than Primary Currencies; provided that such requested currency is a lawful currency (other than Dollars) that is readily available and freely transferable and convertible into Dollars. In the case of any such request with respect to the making of A Advances, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Agent and the Banks; and in the case of any such request with respect to the Issuance of Letters of Credit, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank.

(b) Any such request shall be made to the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of the desired A Advance or Issuance of a Letter of Credit (or such other time or date as may be agreed by the Agent and, in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the Issuing Bank, in its or their sole discretion). In the case of any such request pertaining to A Advances, the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank thereof; and in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Issuing Bank thereof. Each Bank (in the case of any such request pertaining to A Advances) or the applicable Issuing Bank (in the case of a request pertaining to Letters of Credit) shall notify the Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m., ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the making of A Advances or the Issuance of Letters of Credit, as the case may be, in such requested currency.

(c) Any failure by a Bank or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to respond to such request within the time period specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a refusal by such Bank or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to permit A Advances to be made or Letters of Credit to be Issued in such requested currency. If the Agent and all the Banks consent to making A Advances in such requested currency, the Agent shall so notify the Company and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any A Borrowings of A Advances; and if the

Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank consent to the Issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the Agent shall so notify the Company and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Letter of Credit Issuances. In connection with any such consent, the Agent may, with the consent of the Company only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement (including, without limitation, the definitions of Business Day, Eurocurrency Rate and LIBOR Quoted Currency) solely as necessary to reflect the addition of the applicable currency as an Alternative Currency hereunder. If the Agent shall fail to obtain consent to any request for an additional currency under this Section 1.06, the Agent shall promptly so notify the Company.

Section 1.07. Change Of Currency. (a) Each obligation of the Borrowers to make a payment denominated in the national currency unit of any member state of the European Union that adopts the Euro as its lawful currency after the date hereof shall be redenominated into Euro at the time of such adoption (in accordance with the EMU Legislation). If, in relation to the currency of any such member state, the basis of accrual of interest expressed in this Agreement in respect of that currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the London interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or practice with effect from the date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency; provided that if any A Borrowing in the currency of such member state is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such A Borrowing, at the end of the then current Interest Period.

(b) Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Agent may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the Euro.

(c) Each provision of this Agreement also shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Agent may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect a change in currency of any other country and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the change in currency.

Section 1.08. Letter Of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such times.

(z) in the case of a proposed A Borrowing comprised of Eurocurrency Advances denominated in an Alternative Currency, to the Agent four (4) Business Days prior to the date of such proposed Borrowing.

Each such notice of an A Borrowing (a “Notice of A Borrowing”) shall be signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, delivered in a manner specified in Section 9.02 and shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto (or such other form as may be approved by the Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Agent)), specifying therein the requested (i) Borrower, (ii) date of such A Borrowing, (iii) Type of A Advances comprising such A Borrowing, (iv) in the case of a proposed A Borrowing comprised of Eurocurrency Advances, currency of such A Advances, (v) in the case of a proposed A Borrowing comprised of Eurocurrency Advances, initial Interest Period for each such Advance and (vi) aggregate amount of such A Borrowing.

Following its receipt of a Notice of A Borrowing, the Agent shall give each Bank prompt notice thereof in a manner specified in Section 9.02. In the case of a proposed A Borrowing comprised of Eurocurrency Advances, the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank and the Company of the applicable interest rate under Section 2.10(b).

(b) Each Bank shall make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office:

(i) in the case of an A Borrowing comprised of Base Rate Advances, to the Agent before 12:00 noon (New York City time) (or, if the applicable Notice of A Borrowing shall have been given on the date of such A Borrowing, before 4:00 P.M.

(ii) in the case of an A Borrowing comprised of Eurocurrency Advances denominated in Dollars, to the Agent before 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the date of such A Borrowing, at such account

(iii) in the case of an A Borrowing comprised of Eurocurrency Advances denominated in an Alternative Currency, to the Agent before 2:00 P.M. (London time) on the date of such A Borrowing, at such account maintained at the Payment Office for such Alternative Currency as shall have been notified by the Agent to the Banks prior thereto and in same day funds, such Bank’s ratable portion of such A Borrowing in such Alternative Currency.

After the Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article 3, the Agent will make such funds available to the applicable Borrower at the aforesaid applicable Payment Office.

(c) Each Notice of A Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower on whose behalf it shall have been submitted. In the case of any A Borrowing which the related Notice of A Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurocurrency Advances, the applicable Borrower shall indemnify each Bank, after receipt of a written request by such Bank setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such request, against any loss (but excluding loss of any Applicable Margin), cost or expense reasonably incurred by such Bank as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of A Borrowing for such A Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article 3, including, without limitation, any loss (but excluding loss of any Applicable Margin), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Bank to fund the A Advance to be made by such Bank as part of such A Borrowing when such A Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.

(d) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Bank prior to the date of any A Borrowing (or, in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing, not less than two hours prior to the time of such Borrowing) that such Bank will not make available to the Agent such Bank’s ratable portion of such A Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Bank has made such portion available to it on the date of such A Borrowing in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section 2.02 and it may, in reliance upon such assumption, make (but shall not be required to make) available to the applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Bank shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Agent, such Bank and such Borrower severally agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to such Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent at (i) in the case of such Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Advances and (ii) in the case of such Bank, the Overnight Rate plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Agent in connection with the foregoing.

If such Bank shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank’s A Advance as part of such A Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

(e) The failure of any Bank to make the A Advance to be made by it as part of any A Borrowing shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its A Advance on the date of such A Borrowing, but no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make the A Advance to be made by such other Bank on the date of any A Borrowing.

(iii) which has an expiration date later than the earlier of (A) the date one (1) year after the date of Issuance or (B) except as otherwise set forth in Section 2.05(j), the Business Day five (5) Business Days prior to the Stated Termination Date;

(v) the Issuance and terms of which are governed by the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any other jurisdiction which is approved by the Agent and such Issuing Bank (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(vi) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the applicable Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to the applicable Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the applicable Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that the applicable Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the applicable Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the applicable Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, or shall impose upon the applicable Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date and which the applicable Issuing Bank in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it (it being understood that if the Issuing Bank determines not to Issue a Letter of Credit as a result of events or circumstances giving rise to

unreimbursed losses, costs or expenses, the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Company and the Agent of the same. The Company may elect to reimburse such Issuing Bank for such loss, cost or expense; and upon the reimbursement of such loss, cost or expense, the Issuing Bank shall Issue such Letter of Credit on the terms and subject to the other conditions set forth herein); or

(vii) the Issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more written policies of the applicable Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit of the type of Letter of Credit to be issued hereunder.

(b) Conditions. In addition to being subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent contained in Sections 3.01 (solely with respect to an Issuance of a Letter of Credit on the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, if applicable) and 3.02, the obligation of an Issuing Bank to Issue any Letter of Credit is subject to the satisfaction in full of the following conditions:

(i) if such Issuing Bank so requests by a time reasonably following such Issuing Bank’s receipt of the Agent’s notice of the proposed Issuance of such Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall have executed and delivered to such Issuing Bank and the Agent a Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement and such other documents and materials as may be reasonably required pursuant to the terms thereof; and

(ii) unless otherwise agreed to by such Issuing Bank, the terms of the proposed Letter of Credit shall conform to the customary terms of letters of credit issued by such Issuing Bank.

(i) The Company (on behalf of the applicable Borrower) shall deliver to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Agent in a manner specified in Section 9.02 a Notice of Letter of Credit Issuance signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-4 (a “Notice of Letter of Credit Issuance”) not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day preceding the requested date for Issuance of a Letter of Credit hereunder, or such shorter notice as may be acceptable to such Issuing Bank and the Agent. Each Notice of Letter of Credit Issuance shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower on whose behalf it shall have been submitted.

(ii) The applicable Issuing Bank shall give the Agent written notice, or telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing, of the Issuance of a Letter of Credit.

(d) Duties of Issuing Bank.

No action taken or omitted in good faith by an Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit (except for any such action resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Bank) shall put such Issuing Bank under any resulting liability to any Bank or any Borrower or relieve any Bank of its obligations hereunder to such Issuing Bank. In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to the Banks or any Borrower other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered by the appropriate Person and that they appear on their face to comply with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.

(e) Participations; Reimbursement Obligations.

(i) Immediately upon Issuance by an Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.05, each Bank shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from such Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Letter of Credit (a “Letter of Credit Participation”) in the proportion of such Bank’s Applicable Percentage, including, without limitation, all Letter of Credit Obligations and other obligations of the applicable Borrower with respect thereto (other than amounts owing to an Issuing Bank under Section 2.05(g)) and any security therefor and guaranty pertaining thereto.

(ii) If an Issuing Bank shall make any disbursement in respect of a drawing on a Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Bank for the amount drawn not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the next Business Day after the date that such disbursement is made, if such Borrower shall have received notice of such disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date of disbursement, or, if such notice has not been received by such Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on (A) the next Business Day after the date that such Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of receipt, or (B) the second Business Day following the day that such Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received after 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of receipt (the applicable date and time for payment set forth above being referred to as the “Reimbursement Date”). In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank in such Alternative Currency, unless (x) the applicable Issuing Bank (at its option) shall have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (y) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the Company shall have notified the applicable Issuing Bank promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the Company will reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank in Dollars. In the case of any such

reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Company of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. If any Reimbursement Obligation is not paid by the applicable Borrower by the applicable Reimbursement Date, the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Agent, which shall promptly notify each Bank, and each such Bank shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank (in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency) in immediately available funds, the amount of such Bank’s Applicable Percentage of the payment made by the Issuing Bank, and the Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Bank such amounts received by it. In the event such payments are made by such Banks, such payments shall constitute A Advances made to the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.02 (irrespective of the satisfaction of the conditions in Sections 3.01 or 3.02, as applicable), and the Borrower’s obligation to pay such Reimbursement Obligation shall be deemed discharged when due and replaced by such resulting A Advances. If it shall be illegal or unlawful for any Borrower to incur A Advances as contemplated by the preceding sentence because of an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(f) or otherwise, each Bank’s payment of its Applicable Percentage of the Reimbursement Obligation pursuant to the preceding sentence shall constitute the purchase of an undivided participation interest in the Reimbursement Obligation owed to the Issuing Bank, and such payments shall not constitute A Advances and shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to pay such Reimbursement Obligation. All Reimbursement Obligations shall bear interest at the Base Rate (plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin) from the date of the relevant drawing under such Letter of Credit until the Reimbursement Date, or, if applicable, until the date of the A Advances satisfying such Reimbursement Obligation as set forth in the second preceding sentence, and thereafter at a rate per annum at all times equal to 2% per annum above the Base Rate (plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin) in effect from time to time. If a Bank does not make its Applicable Percentage of the amount of any such payment available to the Agent, such Bank agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank, forthwith on demand, such amount together with interest thereon, at the Overnight Rate plus any administrative processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Issuing Bank in connection with the foregoing. The failure of any Bank to make available to the Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank its Applicable Percentage of any such payment shall neither relieve any other Bank of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank such other Bank’s Applicable Percentage of any payment on the date such payment is to be made nor increase the obligation of any other Bank to make such payment to the Agent.

(iii) Whenever an Issuing Bank receives a payment on account of a Reimbursement Obligation, including any interest thereon, as to which any Bank has made an A Advance or purchased a participation pursuant to Section 2.05(e)(ii), such Issuing Bank shall promptly pay to the Agent such payment for distribution to the applicable Banks in accordance with their Applicable Percentage with respect to the applicable Letter of Credit.

(iv) Upon the request of any Bank, the applicable Issuing Bank shall furnish such Bank copies of any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement to which such Issuing Bank is party.

(v) The obligations of any Bank to make payments to the Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank with respect to a Letter of Credit shall be irrevocable, shall not be subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with this Agreement (irrespective of the satisfaction of the conditions described in Sections 3.01 or 3.02, as applicable) under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:

(A) any lack of validity or enforceability hereof or of any of the other Loan Documents;

(B) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which any Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit or any transferee of a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Bank or any other Person, whether in connection herewith, with any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transactions between the account party and beneficiary named in any Letter of Credit);

(C) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under the Letter of Credit having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(D) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents;

(E) any failure by the Issuing Bank to make any reports required pursuant to Section 2.05(h) or the inaccuracy of any such report; or

(F) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.

(f) Payment of Reimbursement Obligations.

(i) The applicable Borrower unconditionally agrees to pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amount of all Reimbursement Obligations, interest and other amounts payable to such Issuing Bank under or in connection with each Letter of Credit Issued by such Issuing Bank for the account of such Borrower when such amounts are due and payable, irrespective of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which such Borrower may have at any time against such Issuing Bank or any other Person.

(ii) In the event any payment by a Borrower received by an Issuing Bank with respect to a Letter of Credit distributed by the Agent to the Banks on account of their Letter of Credit Participations is thereafter set aside, avoided or recovered from such Issuing Bank in connection with any receivership, liquidation or bankruptcy proceeding, each such Bank which received such distribution shall, upon demand by such Issuing Bank, contribute such Bank’s Applicable Percentage with respect to such Letter of Credit of the amount set aside, avoided or recovered together with interest at the rate required to be paid by the Issuing Bank upon the amount required to be repaid by it.

(g) Issuing Bank Fees and Charges. Each Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Bank, solely for its own account, (i) a fronting fee in the amount and at the time specified in the applicable Fee Letter (or in the case of any Issuing Bank set forth in clause (f) of the definition thereof, in an amount to be agreed upon between such Issuing Bank and such Borrower) and (ii) the standard charges assessed by such Issuing Bank in connection with the Issuance, administration, amendment and payment or cancellation of such Letter of Credit.

(h) Issuing Bank Reporting Requirements. Each Issuing Bank shall, on the day it Issues a Letter of Credit, provide a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Agent. On a monthly basis, each Issuing Bank shall deliver to the Agent a complete list of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.

(i) Exoneration. As between the Borrowers on the one hand and the Agent, the Banks and each Issuing Bank on the other hand, the Borrowers assume all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of the Letters of Credit Issued hereunder. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, subject to the provisions of the applicable Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement, the Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Banks shall not be responsible for: (A) the form, validity, legality, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for or Issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate,

fraudulent or forged; (B) the validity, legality 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; (C) failure of the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit to comply duly with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (D) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (E) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (F) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (G) the misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; (H) any litigation, proceeding or charges with respect to a Letter of Credit; and (I) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank or the Banks; except in the cases of clauses (A) (with respect to form only), (B),

(C), (D), (E), (F), (H) and (I) above, for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank, as determined in a judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(j) Extended Facility Letters of Credit. Notwithstanding the contrary provisions of Section 2.05(a), Letters of Credit may be Issued with expiry dates later than the fifth Business Day prior to the Stated Termination Date upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.05(j) (any such Letter of Credit, an “Extended Facility Letter of Credit”). No Extended Facility Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date later than one year after the Stated Termination Date. From the date of Issuance of any Extended Facility Letter of Credit, the Company will maintain cash collateral in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account in an amount equal to 105% of the Letter of Credit Obligations relating to Extended Facility Letters of Credit, and at all times when any Extended Facility Letters of Credit are outstanding, the Company will maintain cash collateral in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account in an amount not less than 105% of the Letter of Credit Obligations relating to such Extended Facility Letters of Credit then outstanding.

(k) Letter of Credit Collateral Account. The Company agrees that it will, upon the request of the Agent or the Majority Banks after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, and as otherwise required pursuant to Section 2.05(j), establish and maintain a Letter of Credit Collateral Account. The Company hereby pledges and grants to the Agent, on behalf of the Issuing Banks and the Banks, a security interest in all of the Company’s right, title and interest in and to all funds which may from time to time be on deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to secure the prompt and complete payment and performance of the Letter of Credit Obligations, and to the extent provided in Sections 6.02(b) and (c), other payment obligations hereunder. Nothing in this Section 2.05(k) shall obligate the Company to deposit any funds in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account or limit the right of the Agent

to release any funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account other than as required in Section 2.05(j) or Section 6.02.

(l) Obligations Several. The obligations of each Issuing Bank and each Bank under this Section 2.05 are several and not joint, and no Bank shall be responsible for any Issuing Bank’s obligation to Issue Letters of Credit or any other Bank’s participation obligations therein.

(m) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Bank and the Company when a Letter of Credit is Issued, (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

(n) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Company shall be obligated to reimburse the Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Company hereby acknowledges that the Issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Company, and that the Company’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

(ii) Each Bank may, if, in its sole discretion, it elects to do so, irrevocably offer to make one or more B Advances to the applicable Borrower as part of such proposed B Borrowing in the requested Alternative Currency and at a rate or rates of interest specified by such Bank in its sole discretion, by notifying the Agent (which shall give prompt notice thereof to the Company), before 12:00 noon (London time) four (4) Business Days before the date of such proposed B Borrowing, of the minimum amount and maximum amount of each B Advance which such Bank would be willing to make as part of such proposed B Borrowing (which amounts may, subject to the proviso to Section 2.06(a), exceed such Bank’s Commitment), the rate or rates of interest therefor and such Bank’s Applicable Lending Office with respect to such B Advance; provided that if the Agent in its capacity as a Bank shall, in its sole discretion, elect to make any such offer, it shall notify the Company of such offer before 11:30 A.M.

(v) If the Company accepts (on behalf of the applicable Borrower) one or more of the offers made by any Bank or Banks pursuant to paragraph (iii)(y) above, the Agent shall in turn promptly notify (A) each Bank that has made an offer as described in paragraph (ii) above of the Borrower, Alternative Currency, date and aggregate amount of such B Borrowing and whether or not any offer or offers made by such Bank pursuant to paragraph (ii) above have been accepted by the Company, (B) each Bank that is to make a B Advance as part of such B Borrowing of the amount of each B Advance to be made by such Bank as part of such B Borrowing, and (C) each Bank that is to make a B Advance as part of such B Borrowing, upon receipt, that the Agent has received forms of documents appearing to fulfill the applicable conditions set forth in Article 3. Each Bank that is to make a B Advance as part of such B Borrowing shall, before 12:00 noon (London time) on the date of such B Borrowing specified in the notice received from the Agent pursuant to clause (A) of the preceding sentence or any later time when such Bank shall have received notice from the Agent pursuant to clause (C) of the preceding sentence, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Agent at the Payment Office for the applicable Alternative Currency such Bank’s portion of such B Borrowing, in same day funds. Upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article 3 and after receipt by the Agent of such funds, the Agent will make such funds available to the applicable Borrower at the Agent’s aforesaid address. Promptly after each B Borrowing, the Agent will notify each Bank of the Borrower, Alternative Currency and amount of the B Borrowing.

(d) Each B Borrowing shall, (i) in the case of a B Borrowing to be denominated in Dollars, be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) in the case of a B Borrowing to be denominated in an Alternative Currency, be in such minimum amount as shall be advised by the Agent as being appropriate in light of the prevailing market conditions and conventions at the time notice is given pursuant to Section 2.06(c)(i), and, following the making of each B Borrowing, the Borrowers shall be in compliance with the limitation set forth in the proviso to subsection (a) above.

(e) Each acceptance by the Company pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(iii)(y) or Section 2.06(c)(iii)(y) of the offers made in response to a Notice of B Borrowing shall be treated as an acceptance of such offers in ascending order of the rates or margins, as applicable, at which the same were made but if, as a result thereof, two or more offers at the same such rate or margin would be partially accepted, then the amounts of the B Advances in respect of which such offers are accepted shall be treated as being the amounts which bear the same proportion to

one another as the respective amounts of the B Advances so offered bear to one another but, in each case, rounded as the Agent may consider necessary to ensure that the amount of each such B Advance is $500,000 (or, if the currency in which such B Advance is denominated is an Alternative Currency, such comparable and convenient multiple thereof as the Agent shall consider appropriate for the purpose) or an integral multiple thereof.

(f) Within the limits and on the conditions set forth in this Section 2.06, each Borrower may from time to time borrow under this Section 2.06, repay pursuant to subsection (g) below, and reborrow under this Section 2.06.

(g) Each Borrower shall repay to the Agent for the account of each Bank which has made a B Advance to it or (if different) for the account of the holder of the applicable B Note, on the maturity date of each B Advance (such maturity date being that specified by the Company for repayment of such B Advance in the related Notice of B Borrowing and provided in the B Note evidencing such B Advance), the then unpaid principal amount of such B Advance. No Borrower shall have any right to prepay any principal amount of any B Advance unless, and then only on the terms, specified by the Company for such B Advance in the related Notice of B Borrowing and set forth in the B Note evidencing such B Advance.

(h) Each Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each B Advance made to it, from the date of such B Advance to the date the principal amount of such B Advance is repaid in full, at the rate of interest for such B Advance specified by the Bank making such B Advance in the related notice submitted by such Bank pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(ii) or Section 2.06(c)(ii), as applicable, payable on the interest payment date or dates specified by the Company for such B Advance in such Notice of B Borrowing, in each case as provided in the B Note evidencing such B Advance. In the event the term of any B Advance shall be longer than three months, interest thereon shall be payable not less frequently than once each three-month period during such term.

(i) The indebtedness of each Borrower resulting from each B Advance made to it shall, if requested by the Bank making such B Advance, be evidenced by a separate B Note of such Borrower payable to the Bank making such B Advance.

The Letter of Credit Fee in respect of any period shall be determined on the basis of the Credit Ratings in effect on each day during such period, in accordance with the table set forth below. The rate per annum at which such Letter of Credit Fee is calculated shall change when and as any Credit Rating changes.

(ii) The Company shall pay to the Banks such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

Section 2.08. Reduction of the Commitments; Increased Commitments; Additional Banks.

(a) The Company shall have the right, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Agent and without premium or penalty, to terminate in whole or reduce ratably in part the unused portions of the respective Commitments of the Banks; provided, that the Total Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount which is less than the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Obligations then outstanding; provided further, that if the Total Commitment is reduced to an amount which is less than the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the Alternative Currency Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit then in effect, the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the Alternative Currency Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit (as applicable) shall automatically be reduced to an amount equal to the Total Commitment as so reduced; and provided further, that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

(b) The Company may, upon at least thirty (30) days’ notice to the Agent (which shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to the Banks), propose to increase the Total Commitment by an amount not to exceed $1,000,000,000 in the aggregate for all such increases during the term of this Agreement (the amount of any such increase, the “Increased Commitments”). The Company shall be entitled to have the Total Commitment increased pursuant to this Section 2.08(b) not more than three (3) times during the term of this Agreement. Each Bank party to this Agreement at such time shall have the right (but no obligation), for a period of fifteen (15) days following receipt of such notice, to elect by notice to the Company and the Agent to increase its Commitment by a principal amount which bears the same ratio to the Increased Commitments as its then Commitment bears to the Total Commitment then existing.

(c) If any Bank party to this Agreement shall not elect to increase its Commitment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section, the Company may designate another financial institution or other financial institutions (which may be, but need not be, one or more of the existing Banks) which at the time agree to (i) in the case of any such financial institution that is an existing Bank, increase its Commitment and (ii) in the case of any other such financial institution (an “Added Bank”), become a party to this Agreement. The sum of the increases in the Commitments of the existing Banks pursuant to this subsection (c) plus the Commitments of the Added Banks shall not in the aggregate exceed the unsubscribed amount of the Increased Commitments.

(d) An increase in the Total Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall become effective upon the receipt by the Agent of an Increase Agreement signed by the Company, by each Added Bank, and by each other Bank whose Commitment is to be increased (each such Bank, an “Increasing Bank”), setting forth the new Commitments of such Banks and setting forth the agreement of each Added Bank to become a party to this Agreement and to be bound by all the terms and provisions hereof, together with such evidence of appropriate corporate authorization on the part of the Company with respect to the Increased Commitments and such opinions of counsel for the Company with respect to the Increased Commitments as set forth in such Increase Agreement. Once the Increase Agreement has been executed and delivered by the applicable parties, this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to reflect the increase in Commitments provided for therein notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.01.

By executing and delivering an Increase Agreement, each Increasing Bank and each Added Bank confirms to and agrees with each party hereto as follows: (x) neither the Agent nor any Bank makes any representation or warranty, nor assumes any responsibility with respect to, any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; and (y) neither the Agent nor any Bank makes any representation or warranty, nor assumes any responsibility with respect to, the financial condition of any Borrower or the performance or observance by any Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto.

Within five (5) Business Days after execution of an Increase Agreement, each Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Agent a new A Note, if requested, to each Added Bank and, if requested by any Increasing Bank, to such Increasing Bank. Such new A Note or A Notes shall be dated the effective date of such Increase Agreement and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit A-1 hereto.

(e) If there are any A Advances outstanding on the effective date of any Increase Agreement, each Bank other than an Added Bank or an Increasing Bank (each such Bank an “Assigning Bank”) agrees that it will assign to each Added Bank and Increasing Bank such portion of such Assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement as shall be necessary to cause each Added Bank and Increasing Bank to share ratably (based on the proportion that such Added Bank’s or Increasing Bank’s Commitment bears to the Total Commitment after giving effect to the Increase Agreement) in each such A Advance. Such assignments shall be effected by execution and delivery by the applicable Assigning Banks, Added Banks or Increasing Banks of Assignments and Acceptances. In consideration of such assignments, each Added Bank and Increasing Bank shall before 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the effective date of the Increase Agreement, make available for the account of its Applicable

Lending Office to the Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.02, in same day funds, such Added Bank’s or Increasing Bank’s ratable portion (based on (i) the proportion that such Added Bank’s Commitment or (ii) the increase in such Increasing Bank’s Commitment bears to the Total Commitment after giving effect to the Increase Agreement) of each A Borrowing then outstanding, together with an amount equal to such ratable portion of the interest which has accrued to such date and remains unpaid on such A Advances. After the Agent’s receipt of such funds, the Agent will promptly make such same day funds available to the account of each Assigning Bank in an amount equal to such Assigning Bank’s ratable portion of such payment by the Added Banks and Increasing Banks.

(f) If there are any Letters of Credit or Swing Line Advances outstanding on the date of any Increase Agreement, each Issuing Bank and Swing Line Bank and each Bank agree that the Letter of Credit Participations and Swing Line Participations with respect to each outstanding Letter of Credit and Swing Line Advance shall be adjusted so that each Bank’s Letter of Credit Participation and Swing Line Participation with respect to each such Letter of Credit and Swing Line Advance shall be in the proportion that such Bank’s Applicable Share (after giving effect to the Increased Commitments and the assignments provided for in Section 2.08(e)).

Section 2.09. Repayment of A Advances and Swing Line Advances. Each Borrower shall repay on the Termination Date the principal amount of each A Advance made to it. Each Borrower shall repay each Swing Line Advance on the earlier to occur of (x) the Termination Date and (y) the date that is ten (10) Business Days after such Swing Line Advance is made.

Section 2.10. Interest on A Advances and Swing Line Advances. Each Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each A Advance and each Swing Line Advance made by each Bank to such Borrower from the date of such A Advance or such Swing Line Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

(a) Base Rate Advances. With respect to any A Advance that is a Base Rate Advance and any Swing Line Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin, payable monthly in arrears on the tenth day of each month with respect to the previous month and on the date such Base Rate Advance or Swing Line Advance shall be paid in full; provided, that any amount of principal which is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) shall bear interest, from the date on which such amount is due until such amount is paid in full, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the Base Rate plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin in effect from time to time. The Agent shall provide telephonic notice to the Company (which in turn shall advise the applicable Borrower) of the amount of interest due and payable on Base Rate Advances or Swing Line Advance by a date not later than the date such payment is due; provided, however, that the Agent’s failure to give such

notice shall not discharge the applicable Borrower from the payment of interest but shall only delay the due date of such interest until such telephonic notice is given. “Applicable Base Rate Margin” means a rate per annum determined in reference to the rates under the column “Applicable Base Rate Margin” set forth after clause (b) below on the basis of the Credit Ratings at such time.

(b) Eurocurrency Advances. If such A Advance is a Eurocurrency Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times during the Interest Period for such A Advance to the sum of the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Eurocurrency Margin, payable on the last day of such Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each day which occurs during such Interest Period every three months from the first day of such Interest Period; provided that any amount of principal which is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) shall bear interest, from the date on which such amount is due until such amount is paid in full, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above (x) if the originally scheduled Interest Period shall then be in effect, the sum of the Eurocurrency Rate plus the Applicable Eurocurrency Margin then in effect with respect to such A Advance, and (y) in all other cases, the Base Rate plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin in effect from time to time. “Applicable Eurocurrency Margin” means, in respect of any Eurocurrency Advance, a rate per annum determined as of the first day of the Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Advance in reference to the rates under the column “Applicable Eurocurrency Margin” set forth below on the basis of the Credit Ratings at such time.

Debt Rating From S&P/Xxxxx’x/Fitch	Applicable Eurocurrency Margin	Applicable Base Rate Margin
> A+ / A1 / A+	69.0 bps	0 bps
A / A2 / A	79.5 bps	0 bps
A- / A3 / X-	00.0 xxx	0 xxx
XXXx / Xxx0 / BBB+	100.0 bps	0 bps
BBB / Baa2 / BBB	110.0 bps	10.0 bps
< BBB- / Baa3 / BBB-	130.0 bps	30.0 bps

Section 2.11. Additional Interest on Eurocurrency Advances. Each Borrower shall pay to each Bank, so long as such Bank shall be required under regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency Liabilities, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Advance made by such Bank to such Borrower, from the date of such A Advance until such principal amount is paid in full, at an interest rate per annum equal at all times to the remainder obtained by subtracting (i) the Eurocurrency Rate for the Interest Period for such A Advance from (ii) the rate

obtained by dividing such Eurocurrency Rate by a percentage equal to 100% minus the Eurocurrency Rate Reserve Percentage of such Bank for such Interest Period, payable on each date on which interest is payable on such A Advance. In addition if, as a result of a Change in Law, such Bank shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurocurrency Rate Advances, each Borrower shall pay such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Advance by such Bank (as determined by such Bank in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive). Such additional interest so notified to the Company (which in turn shall advise the applicable Borrower) by any Bank shall be payable to the Agent for the account of such Bank on the dates specified for payment of interest for such Advance in Section 2.10. For the avoidance of doubt, no amount shall be payable under this Section 2.11 to the extent duplicative of amounts required to be reimbursed pursuant to Section 2.10(b) and/or Section 2.15.

Section 2.12. Interest Rate Determination. (a) The Agent shall give prompt notice to the Company (which in turn shall advise the applicable Borrower) and the Banks of the applicable interest rate determined by the Agent for purposes of Section 2.10(a) or (b).

(b) If the Agent shall, at least one Business Day before the date of any requested A Borrowing or the Conversion or continuation of any A Borrowing, notify the Company and the Banks that the Eurocurrency Rate cannot be determined pursuant to the definition of “Eurocurrency Rate” set forth in Section 1.01 of this Agreement for such requested Eurocurrency Advance or continuation of such Eurocurrency Advance for the applicable amount (whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) and Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith notify the Company and the Banks that the interest rate cannot be determined for such Eurocurrency Advances, whereupon

(i) each such A Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then outstanding Interest Period therefor, Convert into, and with respect to a requested A Advance as part of a requested A Borrowing, such Advance shall be, a Eurocurrency Advance denominated in Dollars, or if the affected currency is Dollars, a Base Rate Advance (or if such Advance is then a Base Rate Advance, will continue as a Base Rate Advance), and

(ii) the rights of the Borrowers to select, and the obligation of the Banks to make, or to Convert Advances into or continue Advances as, Eurocurrency Advances in such currency shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Company and the Banks that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

(c) If, with respect to any Eurocurrency Advances, the Majority Banks shall at least one Business Day before the requested date of, or the proposed Conversion or continuation of the Advances comprising all or part of, any A Borrowing, notify the Agent that the Eurocurrency Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances in a particular currency will not adequately reflect the cost to such Majority Banks of making, funding or maintaining their respective Eurocurrency Advances bearing interest at a Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith so notify the Company and the Banks, whereupon

(i) each such outstanding Eurocurrency Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert or be continued as, and with respect to a requested A Advance as part of a requested A Borrowing, such Advance shall be, a Eurocurrency Advance denominated in Dollars (or, if the affected currency is Dollars, a Base Rate Advance), and

(ii) the rights of the Borrowers to select, and the obligation of the Banks to make, or to Convert Advances into or continue Advances as, Eurocurrency Advances in such currency shall be suspended until the Majority Banks have notified the Agent, and the Agent shall notify the Company and the Banks that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

(d) [Reserved]

(e) [Reserved]

(f) The Agent shall, upon becoming aware that the circumstances causing any such suspension referred to in Sections 2.12(b), 2.12(c) or 2.16 no longer apply, promptly so notify the Company; provided that the failure of the Agent to so notify the Company shall not impair the rights of the Banks under this Section 2.12 or Section 2.16, as applicable, or expose the Agent to any liability.

(g) If (i) the applicable Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01 and the provisions of this Section 2.13, or (ii) is not entitled to Convert or continue such Advances into or as Eurocurrency Rate Advances pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Agent will forthwith so notify the Company and the Banks and such Advances will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into (x) in the case of clause (i) above, Eurocurrency Advances having an Interest Period of one month and (y) otherwise, Base Rate Advances.

(h) On the date on which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of A Advances comprising any A Borrowing shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than $5,000,000, such A Advances shall, if they

are Eurocurrency Advances, automatically Convert into Base Rate Advances; provided, however, that if and so long as each such A Advance shall be of the same Type and have the same Interest Period as A Advances comprising another Borrowing or other Borrowings of such Borrower, and the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all such A Advances shall equal or exceed $5,000,000 (or its equivalent in any Alternative Currency), the Company shall have the right to continue all such Advances as, or to Convert all such Advances into, Advances of such Type having such Interest Period.

Section 2.13. Voluntary Conversion or Continuation of Advances. The applicable Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion or continuation, and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.12 and 2.16 and the provisos in this Section 2.13, Convert all or any part of the A Advances of one Type denominated in any currency comprising the same A Borrowing into Advances of another Type denominated in the same currency or continue all or any part of the A Advances of one Type denominated in a currency comprising the same A Borrowing as A Advances of the same Type denominated in such currency; provided, however, that any such Conversion or continuation of any Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Advances; and provided further, that no A Advance may be Converted into or continued as, a Eurocurrency Rate Advance, at any time that a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Any such Conversion or continuation of any A Advances shall be in the minimum amounts and increments specified in Section 2.01(b); provided, that in the case of the continuation of a Borrowing comprised of Eurocurrency Advances denominated in an Alternative Currency, such continuation may, subject to the terms and conditions otherwise set forth herein, be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Borrowing being continued. Each such notice of a Conversion or continuation shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion (or continuation), (ii) the A Advances to be Converted (or continued), and (iii) if such Conversion (or continuation) is into (or of) Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the duration of the Interest Period for each such A Advance. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Advance may be converted into or continued as an Advance denominated in a different currency, but instead must be prepaid in the original currency of such Advance and reborrowed in the other currency.

Section 2.14. Prepayments of A Advances and Swing Line Advances. (a) Subject to Section 9.04(b), if applicable, a Borrower may (i) following notice given to the Agent by the Company (on behalf of such Borrower) not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the proposed date of prepayment, such notice specifying the applicable Borrower, the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given, such Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amounts of the Base Rate Advances

comprising part of the same A Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid and (ii) following notice given to the Agent by the Company (on behalf of such Borrower) not later than 11:00 A.M. (London time) three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of prepayment, such notice specifying the applicable Borrower, the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given, such Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amounts of the Eurocurrency Rate Advances comprising an A Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid. Each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount not less than $1,000,000.

(b) If on any date the Agent notifies the Company that the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Credit Obligations exceeds the Total Commitment, or the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Obligations denominated in an Alternative Currency exceed the Alternative Currency Sublimit, the applicable Borrower shall on such date prepay an aggregate principal amount of A Advances (or, if there are no A Advances outstanding, Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit) ratably to the Banks in an amount equal to or, at the option of the Borrower, greater than such excess, with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid. The Company may determine which Borrowing such prepayment shall be allocated to, and any such prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be subject to the provisions of Section 9.04(b).

(c) Notwithstanding clause (a) above, the Company may, upon notice to the Swing Line Bank (with a copy to the Agent), at any time and from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Advances in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Bank and the Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment and (ii) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the prepayment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Borrower may rescind any notice of prepayment under clause (a) above if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of the facilities hereunder, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

Section 2.15. Increased Costs and Reduced Return. (a) If, due to a Change in Law (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements or, in the case of Eurocurrency Advances, included in the Eurocurrency Rate Reserve Percentage) there shall be any increase on or after the date hereof in the cost to any Bank of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency Advances or to any Bank or Issuing Bank of

participating in, issuing or maintaining Letters of Credit, by an amount deemed by such Bank or Issuing Bank to be material, then the Company shall from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Bank or Issuing Bank, accompanied by the certificate required therefor under Section 2.15(c) (with a copy of such demand and such certificate to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Bank or Issuing Bank additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Bank or Issuing Bank for such increased cost.

(b) If any Bank or Issuing Bank shall have determined that a Change in Law (including, without limitation, any Change in Law with respect to any Taxes, other than Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes, any such amounts excluded from the definition of Taxes by the first sentence of Section 2.20(a) and any Taxes described in Section 2.20(h) and Section 2.20(k)) has or would have the effect on or after the date hereof of reducing the rate of return on such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or the capital of any corporation controlling such Bank or Issuing Bank as a consequence of such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s obligation hereunder to a level below that which such Bank or Issuing Bank could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance by an amount deemed by such Bank or Issuing Bank to be material, then the Company shall, from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Bank or Issuing Bank, accompanied by the certificate required therefor under Section 2.15(c) (with a copy of such demand and such certificate to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Bank or Issuing Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank or Issuing Bank or such controlling corporation for such reduction.

(c) Each Bank or Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Company and the Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank or Issuing Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank or Issuing Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank or Issuing Bank. In determining such amount, such Bank or Issuing Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. A certificate of any Bank or Issuing Bank claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth in reasonable detail the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and the basis for the calculation thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(d) The Company shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts with respect to a demand under Section 2.15(a) or 2.15(b) that are attributable to the period (the “Excluded Period”) ending 120 days prior to the Company’s receipt of the certificate with respect to such demand required under Section 2.15(c); provided, however, that to the extent such additional amounts accrue during the Excluded Period because of the retroactive effect of the applicable law, rule, regulation, guideline or request promulgated during the 120 day period prior to the Company’s receipt of such certificate, the limitation set forth in this Section 2.15(d) shall not apply.

(e) If any Bank or Issuing Bank shall subsequently recoup any costs (other than from the Company) for which such Bank or Issuing Bank has theretofore been compensated by the Company under this Section 2.15, such Bank or Issuing Bank shall remit to the Company an amount equal to the amount of such recoupment.

Section 2.16. Illegality. (a) In the event that any Bank or Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) at any time that the making or continuance of its Eurocurrency Advances in Dollars or in any Alternative Currency, or the Issuance of Letters of Credit in a Primary Currency or another Alternative Currency, has become unlawful because of the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or because of the assertion of unlawfulness by any central bank or other Governmental Authority, then, in any such event, such Bank or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall give prompt notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Company and to the Agent of such determination (which notice the Agent shall promptly transmit to the other Banks).

(b) Upon the giving of the notice to the Company referred to in subsection (a) above, then the obligation of the Banks to make, or to Convert A Advances into or to continue A Advances as, Eurocurrency Advances, or the obligation of the Issuing Banks to Issue Letters of Credit in the applicable Primary Currency or other Alternative Currency, shall be suspended until the applicable Bank or Issuing Bank notifies the Agent and the Agent shall notify the Company and the Banks that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and if any affected Eurocurrency Advances are then outstanding, the Company shall (or shall cause the applicable Borrower), upon at least one Business Day’s written notice to the Agent and the affected Bank, or if permitted by applicable law no later than the date permitted thereby, in the Company’s sole discretion, either (i) prepay the principal amount of all outstanding Eurocurrency Advances of such Bank to which such notice related, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment or (ii) Convert each such Eurocurrency Advance into a Base Rate Advance, and in each case be obligated to reimburse the Banks in respect thereof pursuant to Section 9.04(b) hereof. If more than one Bank gives notice pursuant to Section 2.16(a) at any time, then all outstanding Eurocurrency Advances of such Banks must be treated the same by the applicable Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16(b). Any Base Rate Advance arising by reason of this Section 2.16(b) shall have an Interest Period assigned to it that ends on the date that the Eurocurrency Advance for which it shall have been substituted would have expired, and the principal thereof and interest thereon shall be payable on the date that principal and interest would otherwise have been payable on such Eurocurrency Advance. Such Base Rate Advance may not be prepaid at any time prior to the date that the Eurocurrency Advances comprising a part of such A Borrowing shall be prepaid.

Section 2.17. Payments and Computations. (a) The Borrowers shall make each payment hereunder and under the Notes (except with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to Advances denominated in an Alternative Currency) not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in Dollars to the Agent in same day funds, without set-off or counterclaim, by deposit of such funds to the Agent’s account maintained at the Payment Office for Dollars. The Borrowers shall make each payment hereunder and under the Notes with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to Advances or Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency not later than 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the day when due in such Alternative Currency to the Agent in same day funds by deposit of such funds to the Agent’s account maintained at the Payment Office for such Alternative Currency. The Agent will give the Company prior notice of the due date of the principal of any A Advance and of the due date and amount of any fees payable hereunder; provided that the failure to give any such prior notice shall not limit the Company’s or the applicable Borrower’s liability for such payment, but shall delay the due date of such payment for purposes of Sections 6.01(a) or (b), as applicable, by the number of days after such due date that such notice is given. The Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal, interest, Reimbursement Obligations or fees ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.11, 2.15, 2.19 or 2.20 or as contemplated by Section 2.24) to the applicable Banks for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Bank to such Bank for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) All computations of interest based on Bank of America’s prime rate shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the Eurocurrency Rate or the Federal Funds Rate and of fees shall be made by the Agent, and all computations of interest pursuant to Section 2.11 shall be made by a Bank, on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable. Each determination by the Agent (or, in the case of Section 2.11, by a Bank) of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be 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 in such cases be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

(d) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due from such Borrower to the Banks hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to it on such date and it may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause (but shall not be required to cause) to be distributed to each Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Bank. If and to the extent such Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Agent as applicable, each Bank shall repay to the Agent as applicable, forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to the Agent at the Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Issuing Bank in connection with the foregoing.

Section 2.18. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Bank shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the A Advances made by it or participations in Letter of Credit Obligations or in Swing Line Advances held by it (other than pursuant to Section 2.11, 2.15 or 2.20 or as contemplated by Section 2.24) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the A Advances or participation in Letter of Credit Obligations or Swing Line Advances held by all the Banks, such Bank shall forthwith purchase from the other Banks such participations in the A Advances or Letter of Credit Obligations or Swing Line Advances made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Bank 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 Bank, such purchase from each Bank shall be rescinded and such Bank shall repay to the purchasing Bank the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Bank’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of such Bank’s required repayment to (b) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Bank) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Bank in respect of the total amount so recovered. Each Borrower agrees that any Bank so purchasing a participation from another Bank pursuant to this Section 2.18 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank were a Bank hereunder in the amount of such participation.

Section 2.19. Swing Line Advances.

(a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein including Section 2.24(c), the Swing Line Bank, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Banks set forth in this Section 2.19, shall make advances (each such advance, a “Swing Line Advance”) to the Company from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof until the Termination 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 Advances,

when aggregated with the Letter of Credit Participations and Advances held by the Bank serving as Swing Line Bank may exceed the amount of such Bank’s Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Advance, (i) the sum of the Revolving Credit Obligations shall not exceed the Total Commitment, and (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the A Advances of any Bank, plus such Bank’s Letter of Credit Participations, plus such Bank’s Swing Line Participations shall not exceed such Bank’s Commitments; and provided further, that the Company shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Advance to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Advance. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Company may borrow under this Section 2.19, prepay under Section 2.14, and reborrow under this Section 2.19. Each Swing Line Advance shall be a Base Rate Advance and shall be denominated in Dollars. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Advance, each Bank shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Bank a risk participation in such Swing Line Advance (a “Swing Line Participation”) in proportion to such Bank’s Applicable Percentage.

(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Company’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Bank and the Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Bank and the Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, 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 Bank and the Agent of a written notice (a “Notice of Swing Line Borrowing”) substantially in the form of Exhibit B-5 hereto (or such other form as may be approved by the Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Agent)), appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Bank of any telephonic Notice of Swing Line Borrowing, the Swing Line Bank will confirm with the Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Agent has also received such Notice of Swing Line Borrowing and, if not, the Swing Line Bank will notify the Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Bank has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Agent (including at the request of any Bank) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (x) directing the Swing Line Bank not to make such Swing Line Advance as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.19(a), or (y) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article 3 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Bank will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Notice of Swing Line Borrowing, make the amount of its Swing Line Advance available to the Company at its Payment Office for Dollars.

(i) The Swing Line Bank at any time in its sole discretion may request, on behalf of the Company (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Bank to so request on its behalf), that each Bank make a Base Rate Advance in an amount equal to such Bank’s Swing Line Participation of the amount of Swing Line Advances then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Notice of A Borrowing for purposes hereof) and 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 Advances, but subject to the limitations set forth in the final sentence of Section 2.01(a) and the conditions set forth in Section 3.02. The Swing Line Bank shall furnish the Company with a copy of the applicable Notice of A Borrowing promptly after delivering such notice to the Agent. Each Bank shall make an amount equal to its Swing Line Participation with respect to the applicable Swing Line Advance available to the Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the Swing Line Bank not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Notice of A Borrowing, whereupon, subject to Section 2.19(c)(ii), each Bank that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Advance to the Company in such amount. The Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Bank.

(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Advance cannot be refinanced by such a Base Rate Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.19(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Advance submitted by the Swing Line Bank as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Bank that each of the Banks fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Advance and each Bank’s payment to the Agent for the account of the Swing Line Bank pursuant to Section 2.19(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(iii) If any Bank fails to make available to the Agent for the account of the Swing Line Bank any amount required to be paid by such Bank pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.19(c) by the time specified in Section 2.19(c)(i), the Swing Line Bank shall be entitled to recover from such Bank (acting through the 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 Bank at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Bank in connection with the foregoing. If such Bank pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Bank’s Base Rate Advance included in the relevant Base Rate Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Advance, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Bank

submitted to any Bank (through the Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) Each Bank’s obligation to make Base Rate Advances or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Advances pursuant to this Section 2.19(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Bank may have against the Swing Line Bank, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Bank’s obligation to make Base Rate Advances pursuant to this Section 2.19(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Company to repay Swing Line Advances, together with interest as provided herein.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after any Bank has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Advance, if the Swing Line Bank receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Advance, the Swing Line Bank will distribute to such Bank its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Bank.

(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Bank in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Advance is required to be returned by the Swing Line Bank or is invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Bank in its discretion), each Bank shall pay to the Swing Line Bank its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the 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 Overnight Rate. The Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Bank. The obligations of the Banks under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the obligations hereunder and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Bank. The Swing Line Bank shall be responsible for invoicing the Company for interest on the Swing Line Advances. Until each Bank funds its Base Rate Advance or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.19 to refinance such Bank’s Swing Line Participation in any Swing Line Advance, interest in respect of such Swing Line Participation shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Bank.

(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Bank. The Company shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Advances directly to the Swing Line Bank.

Section 2.20. Taxes. (a) Subject to Section 2.20(f), any and all payments by each Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.17, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, withholdings (including backup withholding), assessments, fees or other charges imposed by any Governmental Authority, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties, applicable thereto and all liabilities with respect thereto (collectively, “Taxes”), excluding, (i) in the case of each Bank, each Issuing Bank and the Agent, (A) Taxes imposed on or measured by its income, branch profits Taxes and franchise Taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such Bank, such Issuing Bank or the Agent (as the case may be) is organized, has its principal office or lending office or carries on business and (B) any withholding Taxes (including any backup withholding Taxes) imposed by the United States of America with respect to payments under the Loan Documents under the laws (including any statute, treaty or regulation) in effect on the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date (or, in the case of any assignee party to an Assignment and Acceptance, on the effective date of its becoming a “Bank” hereunder or the Bank or Issuing Bank changes its lending office), but not excluding any such withholding Taxes payable as a result of any change in such laws occurring on or after the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date (or, in the case of any assignee party to an Assignment and Acceptance, after the effective date of its becoming a “Bank” hereunder), (ii) in the case of each Bank and each Issuing Bank, Taxes imposed on or measured by its income, branch profits Taxes and franchise Taxes imposed on it, as a result of a present or former connection between such Bank or such Issuing Bank and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such Tax or any taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such Taxes that would not be imposed but for such Person’s execution of, or exercise of any rights or remedies under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document), and (iii) any U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA (all such non-excluded Taxes being hereinafter referred to as “Indemnified Taxes”). Subject to Section 2.20(f), if any Borrower or the Agent shall be required by law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Bank, any Issuing Bank or the Agent, (x) the sum payable by the applicable Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.20(a)) such Bank, such Issuing Bank or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (y) such Borrower or the Agent, as applicable, shall make such deductions and (z) such Borrower or the Agent, as applicable, shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, each Borrower individually agrees, and the Company jointly and severally with the applicable Borrower agrees, to pay any present or future stamp or documentary Taxes and any other excise or property Taxes, charges and similar levies which arise from any payment made by such Borrower under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document, except any such Taxes described in Section 2.20(a)(ii) imposed with respect to an assignment (other than an assignment made pursuant to Section 2.21)(hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). The Agent may demand payment of, and seek recourse on, any Other Taxes from the Company and such Borrower, without any requirement that the Agent allocate the reimbursement obligation for such Other Taxes between the Company and such Borrower.

(c) Each Borrower will indemnify each Bank, each Issuing Bank and the Agent for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.20) paid by such Bank, such Issuing Bank or the Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses reasonably incurred) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted; provided, however, that such Borrower shall not be obligated to make payment to such Bank, such Issuing Bank or the Agent (as the case may be) pursuant to this Section 2.20(c) in respect of penalties, interest or expenses attributable to such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes if such penalties, interest or expenses are attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person seeking indemnification under this Section 2.20(c). This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Bank, such Issuing Bank or the Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor by delivering a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of the indemnification to be made hereunder and the basis for the calculation thereof, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. No Borrower shall be obligated to pay any indemnification with respect to a demand under this Section 2.20(c) relating to amounts incurred more than 120 days prior to such Borrower’s receipt of the certificate with respect to such demand required under this Section 2.20(c); provided, that if the circumstances giving rise to such demand are retroactive, then the 120-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect; provided further, that any Borrower that is a “controlled foreign corporation” within the meaning of Section 957 of the Internal Revenue Code shall not be required to pay amounts under this Section 2.20(c) in respect of Taxes that did not arise in connection with any obligations of such Borrower under any Loan Document.

(d) The Agent may, from time to time, request that the Company furnish (and the Company shall, reasonably promptly following any such request, furnish) to the Agent the originals or certified copies of receipts evidencing the payment of

Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by and on behalf of the Borrowers (or any other form, certificate or document reasonably acceptable to the Agent).

(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 2.20 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest hereunder and under the Notes.

(f) (i) On or prior to the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date (or, in the case of any assignee party to an Assignment and Acceptance, on the effective date of its becoming a “Bank” hereunder), each Bank and each Issuing Bank, in each case, organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States of America shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, provide the Agent, the Company and each other Borrower that is organized under the laws of the United States of America (or any state or political subdivision thereof) with the forms prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service of the United States of America certifying such Bank’s or such Issuing Bank’s (as the case may be) exemption from withholding taxes imposed by the United States of America with respect to all payments to be made to such Bank or such Issuing Bank (as the case may be) under any Loan Document, and each such Bank or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) shall thereafter provide the Agent, the Company and each other Borrower that is organized under the laws of the United States of America (or any state or political subdivision thereof) with such supplements and amendments thereto and such additional forms, certificates, statements or documents as may from time to time be required by applicable law. If a Bank or Issuing Bank that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States of America shall fail to deliver, or improperly delivers, the forms, certificates, statements or documents required to be delivered by this Section 2.20(f)(i), then Section 2.20(a) shall not apply with respect to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes imposed on any payments made to or for the account of such Bank or such Issuing Bank (as the case may be) under any Loan Document to the extent that such taxes would not have been imposed but for such Bank or Issuing Bank’s failure to deliver or deliver properly the forms, certificates, statements or documents required to be delivered by this Section 2.20(f)(i), during the period that such failure or deficiency shall continue, and the Borrowers or the Agent shall be permitted to withhold United States federal, state and local income taxes from any payments made under any Loan Document at the applicable statutory rate.

(ii) [Reserved]

(iii) [Reserved]

(iv) Each Bank and each Issuing Bank that is organized under the laws of the United States of America (or any state or political subdivision thereof) shall, on or prior to the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date (or, in the case of any assignee party to an Assignment and Acceptance, on the effective date of its becoming a “Bank” hereunder),

provide the Agent, the Company and each other Borrower that is organized under the laws of the United States of America (or any state or political subdivision thereof) with two complete copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, and each such Bank or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall thereafter provide the Agent, the Company and each other Borrower that is organized under the laws of the United States of America (or any state or political subdivision thereof) with such supplements and amendments thereto and such additional forms, certificates, statements or documents as may from time to time be required by applicable law. If a Bank or Issuing Bank that is organized under the laws of the United States of America (or any state or political subdivision thereof) shall fail to deliver, or improperly delivers, the forms, certificates, statements or documents required to be delivered by this Section 2.20(f)(iv), then Section 2.20(a) shall not apply with respect to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes imposed on any payments made to or for the account of such Bank or such Issuing Bank (as the case may be) under any Loan Document to the extent that such taxes would not have been imposed but for such Bank or Issuing Bank’s failure to deliver or deliver properly the forms, certificates, statements or documents required to be delivered by this Section 2.20(f)(iv), during the period that such failure or deficiency shall continue, and the Borrowers or the Agent shall be permitted to withhold United States federal, state and local income taxes from any payments made, under any Loan Document at the applicable statutory rate.

(g) If any Bank or Issuing Bank determines, in its sole discretion, that it has actually and finally realized, by reason of a refund, deduction or credit of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid or reimbursed by a Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.20 in respect of payments under any Loan Document, a current monetary benefit that it would otherwise not have obtained but for such refund, deduction or credit, and that would result in the total payments under this Section 2.20 exceeding the amount needed to make such Bank or such Issuing Bank whole, such Bank or such Issuing Bank shall pay to such Borrower, with reasonable promptness following the date on which it actually realizes such benefit, an amount equal to the lesser of the amount of such benefit or the amount of such excess, in each case net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in securing such refund, deduction or credit; provided, however, that (i) such Bank or Issuing Bank shall not be obligated to disclose to any Borrower any information regarding its tax affairs or computations and (ii) nothing contained in this Section 2.20(g) shall be construed so as to interfere with the right of any Bank or Issuing Bank to arrange its tax affairs as it deems appropriate.

(h) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, for any period with respect to which any Bank (including any assignee party to an Assignment and Acceptance that becomes a “Bank” hereunder) or Issuing Bank has failed to deliver, or has improperly delivered, to the Borrowers or the Agent

(as the case may be) the appropriate form, certificate, statement or document required to be delivered in Section 2.20(f) or Section 2.20(k), such Bank or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 2.20(c) for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by reason of such failure or improper delivery.

(i) Any Bank claiming any indemnification or additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.20 will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such indemnification or additional amounts and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

(j) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Bank changes its residence, principal place of business or Applicable Lending Office or takes any similar action (other than at the Company’s request or pursuant to Section 2.20(i)), and the effect of such change or action, as of the date thereof, would be to increase the additional amounts or indemnification that the Borrowers are required to pay under Section 2.20(a) and Section 2.20(c) then the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay the amount of such increase.

(k) If any payment made pursuant to the Loan Documents would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if the recipient were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such recipient shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such recipient has complied with such recipient’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.20(k), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date hereof.

(l) Each Bank shall severally indemnify the Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Taxes attributable to such Bank (but only to the extent that the Borrower and the Company have not already indemnified the Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the applicable Borrower and the Company to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Bank’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.08(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any other Taxes attributable to such Bank, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Bank by the Agent shall be conclusive

absent manifest error. Each Bank hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Bank under this Agreement or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Bank from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this paragraph (l).

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

Section 2.21. Substitution of Banks. In the event that (v) any Bank shall not have consented to any amendment to this Agreement requiring the consent of all Banks whereas the Majority Banks have consented; (w) any one or more Banks, pursuant to Section 2.15 hereof, incurs any increased costs, receives a reduced payment or is required to make any payment for which any such Bank demands compensation pursuant to such Section, or makes a claim for indemnity or compensation under Section 2.20 hereof with respect to a payment when no other Bank makes a claim for indemnity or compensation under Section 2.20 with respect to such payment, in any such case which compensation or indemnity increases the effective lending rate of such Bank with respect to its share of the A Advances in excess of the effective lending rate of the other Banks, and such Bank has not mitigated such increased costs, reduced payment or additional payment within 30 days after receipt by such Bank from the Company of a written notice that such Bank’s effective lending rate has so exceeded the effective lending rate of the other Banks; (x) any one or more Banks have determined pursuant to Section 2.16(a) or Section 3.01(b)(ii) that it may not make or maintain all or certain of its Eurocurrency Advances at such time (and the other Banks shall continue to be able to make or maintain their corresponding Eurocurrency Advances at such time) and the inability of such Bank, as applicable, to make or maintain such Eurocurrency Advances continues for 30 or more days after the receipt by the Company from such Bank of written notice of such inability and the Company’s request that such Bank alleviate such inability; (y) any Bank is a Defaulting Bank; or (z) any Bank shall decline (or be deemed to have declined) to extend its Commitment hereunder after a request for extension of Commitments pursuant to Section 2.22 and Banks holding Commitments equaling or exceeding 51% of the Total Commitment have agreed to extend their Commitments pursuant to such request; then and in any such event, the Company may substitute for such Bank an existing Bank, or another financial institution which is reasonably acceptable to the Agent, to assume the Commitment, the Letter of Credit Participations and/or the Swing Line Participations of such Bank and to purchase the A Note of such Bank hereunder, without recourse to or warranty (other than as to unencumbered ownership) by, or expense to, such Bank for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the A Advances then payable to such Bank plus any accrued but unpaid interest and accrued but unpaid fees with respect thereto; provided that in the case of clause (v) above, such substitute Bank

shall have provided the applicable consent. Such purchase shall be effected by execution and delivery by such Bank and its replacement of an Assignment and Acceptance, and shall otherwise be made in the manner described in Section 9.08. Upon such purchase, to the extent of the rights and benefits assigned, such Bank shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights or benefits hereunder (except for rights or benefits that such Bank would retain hereunder upon termination of this Agreement) and the replacement Bank shall succeed to the rights and benefits, and shall assume the obligations, of such Bank hereunder, including such Bank’s Letter of Credit Participations and Swing Line Participations, and under such Bank’s A Note.

Section 2.22. Extension of Commitments. (a) One time during each period from the date that is 90 days prior to each Anniversary Date to the date that is 30 days prior to each such Anniversary Date (but in any case not more than twice during the term of this Agreement), the Borrowers may, by written notice (an “Extension Request”) given to the Agent, request that the Stated Termination Date be extended. Each such Extension Request shall contemplate an extension of the Stated Termination Date to a date that is one year after the Stated Termination Date then in effect.

(b) The Agent shall promptly advise each Bank of its receipt of any Extension Request. Each Bank may, in its sole discretion, consent to a requested extension by giving written notice thereof to the Agent by not later than the date (the “Extension Confirmation Date”) that is 15 days after the date of the Extension Request, which consent shall be irrevocable when given. Failure on the part of any Bank to respond to an Extension Request by the applicable Extension Confirmation Date shall be deemed to be a denial of such request by such Bank. Subject to the Company’s right to replace a Bank pursuant to Section 2.21, if all of the Banks, after giving effect to the last sentence in this paragraph, shall consent in writing to the requested extension, such request shall be granted. Promptly following the opening of business on the first Business Day following the applicable Extension Confirmation Date, the Agent shall notify the Company in writing as to whether the requested extension has been granted (such written notice being an “Extension Confirmation Notice”) and, if granted, such extension shall become effective upon the issuance of such Extension Confirmation Notice. The Agent shall promptly thereafter provide a copy of such Extension Confirmation Notice to each Bank. If such extension is not granted, the Agent shall give the Company notice of the identity of any non-consenting Banks. If the Company replaces one or more non-consenting Banks pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.21, and any such replacement Bank becomes a Bank on or before the earlier of (i) 30 days after the Extension Confirmation Date and (b) 5 days before the applicable Anniversary Date, and consents to the Extension Request at the time it becomes a Bank, such consent shall be effective retroactively as of the Extension Confirmation Date.

Section 2.23. Cash Collateral.

(a) Certain Credit Support Events. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Bank, if the reallocation described in Section 2.24(a)(iv) cannot, or only can partially, be effected, immediately upon the request of the Agent or any Issuing Bank, the Company shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.24(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Bank) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.

(b) Grant of Security Interest. The Company, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Bank, such Bank, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Issuing Banks, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral shall be applied pursuant to Section 2.23(c). If at any time the Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Company will, promptly upon demand by the Agent, pay or provide to the Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

(c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.23 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific Letter of Credit Obligations or obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Bank, any interest accrued on such obligation), prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

(d) Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Bank status of the applicable Bank or (ii) the Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of the Company shall not be released during the continuance of an Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.23 may be otherwise applied in accordance with this Credit Agreement), and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the applicable Issuing Banks, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

Section 2.24. Defaulting Banks.

(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, then, until such time as that Bank is no longer a Defaulting Bank, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Bank’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Majority Banks.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of that Defaulting Bank (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 6 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Agent by that Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 9.05) hereunder, shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Bank to the Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Bank to any Issuing Bank or Swing Line Bank hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Bank in accordance with Section 2.23; fourth, as the Company may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which that Defaulting Bank has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Agent and the Company, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Bank to fund Advances under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Bank with respect to future Letters of Credit; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Banks or the Issuing Banks or Swing Line Bank as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Bank or Issuing Bank or Swing Line Bank against that Defaulting Bank as a result of that Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against that Defaulting Bank as a result of that Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Bank or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances or reimbursement of a disbursement under a Letter of Credit in respect of which that Defaulting Bank has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Advances were made or such Letter of Credit was issued at a time when the applicable conditions set forth in Article 3 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of and Letter of Credit Obligations owed to all non-Defaulting Banks on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of that Defaulting Bank until such time as all Advances and all funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Obligations are held by the Banks pro rata as contemplated

hereunder. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Bank that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Bank or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.24(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Bank, and each Bank irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. (A) Each Defaulting Bank shall be entitled to receive a facility fee pursuant to Section 2.07(a) for any period during which that Bank is a Defaulting Bank only to the extent allocatable to the sum of (1) the outstanding amount of the A Advances funded by it and (2) its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral hereunder.

(B) Each Defaulting Bank shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Bank is a Defaulting Bank only to the extent allocatable to its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral hereunder.

(C) With respect to facility fees and Letter of Credit Fees not required to be paid to any Defaulting Bank pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Company shall (x) pay to each Bank that is not a Defaulting Bank that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Bank with respect to such Defaulting Bank’s participation in Letter of Credit Obligations and Swing Line Advance that has been reallocated to such non-Defaulting Bank pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each Issuing Bank and Swing Line Bank, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Bank to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank’s or Swing Line Bank’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Bank, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Bank, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Bank to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit (and Letter of Credit Obligations) and Swing Line Advances pursuant to Section 2.05, the Applicable Percentage of each non-Defaulting Bank shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Bank; provided that (x) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, on the date of reallocation, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (y) the reallocation shall only be permitted to the extent that it does not cause the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the A Advances of any Bank plus such Bank’s Letter of Credit Participations and Swing Line Participations (giving effect to the

reallocation pursuant to this clause (iv)) to exceed such Bank’s Commitments.

(v) Repayment of Swing Line Advances; Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Company shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Advances in an amount equal to the Swing Line Bank’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.23.

(b) Defaulting Bank Cure. If the Company, the Agent, and the Issuing Banks agree in writing that a Defaulting Bank should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Bank, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Bank will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Banks or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the A Advances and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held on a pro rata basis by the Banks according to their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.24(a)), in the case of Letters of Credit, whereupon that Bank will cease to be a Defaulting Bank; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Company while that Bank was a Defaulting Bank; provided further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Bank to Bank will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Bank’s having been a Defaulting Bank.

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

Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Banks.

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any of the Borrowers or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Banks (or such other number or percentage of the Banks as shall be necessary, or as the Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.01 or Section 6.01 or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Agent by the Company, a Bank or an Issuing Bank.

The Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 3 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.

The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Advance, or the Issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Bank or an Issuing Bank, the Agent may presume that such condition is

satisfactory to such Bank or such Issuing Bank unless the Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Bank or such Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Advance or the Issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts

Section 7.05. Delegation of Duties.

Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Banks shall have the right, in consultation with and with the approval of the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Banks and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Agent shall notify the Company and the Banks that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Agent on behalf of the Banks or the Issuing Banks under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Bank and the Issuing Banks directly, until such time as the Majority Banks appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Company to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its

predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.12 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent.

(b) Any resignation by Bank of America as Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as Issuing Bank and Swing Line Bank.

(c) If the Person serving as the Agent is a Defaulting Bank pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Majority Banks may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Company and such Person remove such Person as Agent and, with the written consent of the Company, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Majority Banks) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

The Banks agree to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers), ratably according to the respective principal amount of A Advances, Letter of Credit Participations and Swing Line Participations then held by each of them (or if no A Advances, Letter of Credit Obligations or Swing Line Participations are at the time outstanding or if any A Advances are held by Persons which are not Banks, ratably according to the respective amounts of their Commitments), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Agent or under this Agreement; provided that no Bank shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Bank agrees to reimburse the Agent, as applicable, promptly on demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, including, without limitation, an exercise of rights pursuant to Section 5.01(h), to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrowers.

If payment has become due under this guaranty as provided in the preceding sentence, the Company further agrees that if any such payment in respect of any guaranteed amounts shall be due in a currency other than Dollars and/or at a place of payment other than New York and if, by reason of any applicable law, disruption of currency or foreign exchange markets, war or civil disturbance or similar event, payment of such amounts in such currency or such place of payment shall be impossible or, in the judgment of any applicable Bank, not consistent with the

protection of its rights or interests, then, at the election of any applicable Bank, the Company shall make payment of such amount in Dollars (based upon the applicable exchange rate in effect on the date of payment) and/or in New York.

Section 8.02. Guaranty Unconditional. The obligations of the Company hereunder shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:

(v) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any Borrowing Subsidiary for any reason of any provision or all of this Agreement, any Note or any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by any Borrowing Subsidiary of the principal of or interest on any Advance or any other amount payable by it under this Agreement; or

(vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by any Borrowing Subsidiary, the Agent, any Bank, any Issuing Bank or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Company’s obligations hereunder or a Borrowing Subsidiary’s obligations under this Agreement.

Section 8.03. Discharge Only Upon Payment in Full; Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances. The Company’s obligations hereunder shall survive the Termination Date and remain in full force and effect until the principal of and interest on the Notes, all Reimbursement Obligations, all Advances not evidenced

by the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Company and each Borrowing Subsidiary under this Agreement shall have been paid in full. If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on any Note, any Reimbursement Obligation, or on any Advance not evidenced by a Note, or any other amount payable by any Borrowing Subsidiary under this Agreement is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrowing Subsidiary or otherwise, the Company’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

Section 8.04. Waiver by the Company. The Company irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any right be exhausted or any action be taken by the Agent, any Bank, any Issuing Bank or any other Person against any Borrowing Subsidiary or any other Person or any collateral security.

Upon making any payment hereunder, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Banks against any such Borrowing Subsidiary with respect to such payment; provided that the Company shall not enforce any right or demand or receive any payment by way of subrogation until all amounts of principal of and interest on the Notes of such Borrowing Subsidiary and all other amounts payable by such Borrowing Subsidiary under this Agreement and any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement or to which such Borrowing Subsidiary is a party have been paid in full.

Section 8.06. Stay of Acceleration. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by any Borrowing Subsidiary under this Agreement or any of its Notes is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Borrowing Subsidiary, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Agreement shall nonetheless be payable by the Company hereunder forthwith on demand by the Agent for the account of the Banks.

Section 9.03. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Bank or any Issuing Bank or the Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

Section 9.04. Costs and Expenses. (a) The Company agrees to pay on demand all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification and amendment of this Agreement, the Notes and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of one counsel for the Agent with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Agent as to rights and responsibilities under this Agreement, and all reasonable and documented costs and expenses, if any, of the Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Banks (including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and expenses of counsel to the Agent, the Banks and the Issuing Banks (but only for one firm of counsel for the Agent, Issuing Banks and the Banks, in addition to regulatory and local counsel; provided that if, in the reasonable opinion of the Agent, Issuing Banks or Banks, as applicable, representation of all such parties by one firm of counsel would be inappropriate due to the existence of an actual or potential conflict of interest, the Company shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket legal expenses of no more than such number of additional firms of counsel for such parties as is necessary to avoid any such actual or potential conflict of interest), which may be allocated costs of counsel who are employees of any Bank) in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement, the Notes, any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, in each case if an Event of Default exists, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and expenses in connection with the enforcement of rights under this Section 9.04(a).

(b) If any payment of principal of any Eurocurrency Rate Advance is made other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance, as a result of acceleration of the maturity of the Notes and Advances not evidenced by the Notes pursuant to Section 6.01 or for any other reason, including the purchase of an assignment pursuant to Section 2.08(e), the applicable Borrower shall, upon demand by any Bank (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Bank any amounts required to compensate such Bank for any additional losses (but excluding loss of any Applicable Margin), costs or expenses which it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, including, without limitation, any loss (but excluding loss of any Applicable Margin), cost or expense reasonably incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Bank to fund or maintain such Advance. Such Bank’s demand shall set forth the reasonable basis for calculation of such loss, cost or expense.

101

Section 9.05. Right of Set-off. Upon (a) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (b) the making by the Majority Banks of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 to authorize the Agent to declare the Notes or Advances due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, each Bank is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Bank to or for the credit or the account of the Company or the applicable Borrowing Subsidiary against any and all of the obligations of the Company or the applicable Borrowing Subsidiary now or hereafter existing under this Agreement, the Notes held by such Bank, and any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement to which such Bank is a party, irrespective of whether or not such Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement, any such Note or such Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured (other than as provided in clause (b) above); provided that in the event that any Defaulting Bank shall exercise any such right of set-off, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.24 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Bank from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Banks, and (y) the Defaulting Bank shall provide promptly to the Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Bank as to which it exercised such right of set-off. Each Bank agrees promptly to notify the Company after any such set-off and application made by such Bank; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Bank under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which such Bank may have.

Section 9.06. Judgment. (a) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under the Notes in any currency (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Other Currency”) the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency.

(b) The obligation of the applicable Borrower in respect of any sum due in the Original Currency from it to any Bank or the Agent, or any Issuing Bank hereunder, under the Notes held by such Bank, or under any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any Other Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Bank, the Agent or such Issuing Bank (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such Other Currency such Bank, the Agent or such Issuing Bank (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency; if the

102

amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Bank or the Agent or such Issuing Bank (as the case may be) in the Original Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Bank, the Agent or such Issuing Bank (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to any Bank, the Agent or such Issuing Bank (as the case may be) in the Original Currency, such Bank or the Agent or such Issuing Bank (as the case may be) agrees to remit to such Borrower such excess.

Section 9.07. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Company and the Agent and when the Agent shall have been notified by each Bank that such Bank has executed it. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent and each Bank and no Bank may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (a) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.08(a), (b) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.08(e) and (c) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 9.08(g) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, participants and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Banks) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 9.08. Assignments and Participations. (a) Each Bank may, upon obtaining the prior written consent of the Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Bank (which consent by any such party shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), assign to one or more banks or other financial institutions all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Advances owing to it and the Letter of Credit Participations, Swing Line Participations and Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all of the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations so assigned, (ii) the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Bank being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) may be in the amount of such Bank’s entire Commitment but otherwise shall not be less than $10,000,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $1,000,000 unless the Company and the Agent otherwise consent, (iii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, (iv) the parties to each such assignment shall (A) execute and deliver to the Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and

103

Acceptance and (B) deliver to the Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that the Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recording fee, (v) if no Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (d) (with respect to an Event of Default under Section 5.03 only) or (f) of Section 6.01 has occurred and is continuing, the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for an assignment by a Bank to an assignee which is not a Bank or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Bank, and (vi) consent of the Agent shall not be required for an assignment by a Bank to an assignee which is a Bank or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Bank. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be at least two (2) Business Days after the execution thereof, the Bank assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto).

(b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Bank assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Bank makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assigning Bank makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Company or any Borrowing Subsidiary or the performance or observance by the Company or any Borrowing Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01(e) or 5.01(b) and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, such assigning Bank or any other Bank and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Bank.

104

(c) The Agent (or a party designated by the Agent, which may include the Company or any other Borrower) shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks and the Issuing Banks and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Advances owing to, each Bank and the amount of the Letter of Credit Reimbursement Obligations owing to each Issuing Bank from time to time (the “Register”). The Agent (or its designee) shall also reflect in the Register the transfer of any portion of any Bank’s interest in the Notes, any Advances not evidenced by a Note, any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Obligation or any other obligations hereunder (collectively, the “Obligations”), and the Agent (or its designee) shall retain a copy of the assignment transferring the Obligations for the registration or transfer of the Obligations, and shall enter the names and addresses of the transferees of the Obligations. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Agent, the Banks and the Issuing Banks shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Bank or an Issuing Bank, as applicable, hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Solely for purposes of this Section 9.08(c) and for tax purposes only, the Agent (or its designee) shall be the Company’s agent for purposes of maintaining the Register and notations of transfer in the Register. The Obligations are registered obligations and the right, title and interest of any Bank or Issuing Bank and/or its assignees in and to such Obligations shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register (and each Note shall expressly so provide). This Section 9.08(c) shall be construed so that the Obligations are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code and any related Treasury Regulations.

(d) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Bank and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit C-1 hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrowers.

(e) Each Bank may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than a Defaulting Bank) in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment and the Advances owing to it and the Letter of Credit Participations, Swing Line Participations and Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment to the Borrowers hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Bank shall remain the

105

holder of any such Note and Letter of Credit Participations and Swing Line Participations and the maker of any Advance for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrowers, the Agent, any Issuing Bank and the other Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (v) any agreement between such Bank and any participant in connection with such participating interest shall not restrict such Bank’s right to agree to any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or any consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom, except (to the extent such participant would be affected thereby) a reduction of the principal of, or interest on, any Advance or postponement of any date fixed for payment thereof or a release of the Company’s guaranty obligations pursuant to Article 8. Each Bank that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the applicable Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Bank shall have any obligation to disclose any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Bank shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(f) The Company and each Borrower agree that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15 and 2.20 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.20(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.20(f) shall be delivered to the participating Bank)) to the same extent as if it were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section; provided that such participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.20(i) and 2.21 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (a) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.15 or 2.20, with respect to any participation, than its participating Bank would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provisions set forth in this Agreement, any Bank at any time may assign, as collateral or otherwise, any of its rights (including, without limitation, rights to payments of principal of and/or interest on

106

the Advances) under this Agreement to any Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Bank without notice to or consent of the Company, any Borrowing Subsidiary, any other Bank or the Agent.

Section 9.09. Consent to Jurisdiction. (a) Each of the Company and each Borrowing Subsidiary hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in New York City and any appellate court from any thereof in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such New York State or in such federal court. Each of the Company and each Borrowing Subsidiary hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding. The Company has irrevocably appointed and each Borrowing Subsidiary hereby irrevocably appoints CT Corporation System (the “Process Agent”), with an office on the date hereof at 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, as its agent to receive on behalf of such Borrowing Subsidiary and its property service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any such action or proceeding. Such service may be made by mailing or delivering a copy of such process to the Company or such Borrowing Subsidiary in care of the Process Agent at the Process Agent’s above address with a copy to the Company or such Borrowing Subsidiary, as applicable, at its address referred to in Section 9.02, and each of the Company and each Borrowing Subsidiary hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Process Agent to accept such service on its behalf. As an alternative method of service, each of the Company and each Borrowing Subsidiary also irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies of such process to the Company or such Borrowing Subsidiary at its address referred to in Section 9.02. Each of the Company and each Borrowing Subsidiary agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(b) Nothing in this Section 9.09 shall affect the right of the Agent or any Bank to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of the Agent or any Bank to bring any action or proceeding against the Company or any Borrowing Subsidiary or its property in the courts of any other jurisdictions.

Section 9.10. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 9.11. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

107

Section 9.12. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, each Bank, each Issuing Bank and each of their affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel (but only for one firm of counsel for all the Indemnified Parties, in addition to regulatory and local counsel; provided that if, in the reasonable opinion of the relevant Indemnified Party, representation of all the Indemnified Parties by one firm of counsel would be inappropriate due to the existence of an actual or potential conflict of interest, the Company shall reimburse the reasonable out of pocket legal expenses of no more than such number of additional firms of counsel for the Indemnified Parties as is necessary to avoid any such actual or potential conflict of interest)) which may be incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Party in connection with or arising out of any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to the Advances, the Letters of Credit, the Notes, this Agreement, any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated hereby, or the use of the proceeds of the Borrowings or the Letters of Credit by the Borrowers or the beneficiaries under any Letters of Credit, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Party, be available (i) to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party, (ii) to the extent such claims and liabilities are settled without the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), (iii) to the extent they are found by a final, nonappealable judgment of a court to have resulted from a breach in any material respect of the obligations of such Indemnified Party under this Agreement or (iv) arising out of or in connection with any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission of the Company or any of its Affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnified Party against any other Indemnified Party (other than any such claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding brought against the Agent or any Arranger solely in its capacity as such or in fulfillment of its role as Agent, Lead Arranger or similar role under the Loan Documents). Each Bank agrees to give the Company prompt written notice of any investigation, litigation or proceeding which may lead to a claim for indemnification under this Section, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the indemnification hereunder. Without in any way qualifying or limiting the Company’s indemnification obligation in this Section, to the extent permitted by applicable law, neither the Borrowers nor any Indemnified Party shall assert, and hereby waive, any claim against any Indemnified Party or the Company (respectively), on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (“Excluded Damages”), as opposed to direct or actual damages, arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, the

108

Advances, the Letters of Credit, the Notes, this Agreement, any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated hereby, or the use of the proceeds of the Borrowings or the Letters of Credit by the Borrowers or the beneficiaries under any Letters of Credit.

(b) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than twenty (20) Business Days after written demand therefor.

(c) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Agent the replacement of any Bank, the termination of the Total Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other obligations hereunder.

Section 9.13. Confidentiality. Each Bank and each Issuing Bank hereby agree that it will keep confidential any information (as defined below) from time to time supplied to it by the Company under Section 5.01(b) or otherwise in connection with this Agreement (such information, the “Information”) except that such Information may be disclosed (a) on a need-to-know basis, to its Affiliates and its Affiliates’ respective directors, officers, agents, advisors and employees for the evaluation of, administration of and enforcement of rights under the Loan Documents (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions no less restrictive than those in this Section, to (i) any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Company and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Company or (h) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information but in no event less than reasonable care.

Section 9.14. Non-reliance by the Banks. Each Bank by its signature to this Agreement represents and warrants that (i) it has not relied in the extension of the credit contemplated by this Agreement, nor will it rely in the maintenance thereof, upon any assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries consisting of Margin

109

Stock as collateral and (ii) after reviewing the financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries referred to in Section 4.01(e), such Bank has concluded therefrom that the consolidated cash flow of the Company and its Subsidiaries is sufficient to support the credit extended to the Company pursuant to this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any Section or provision of this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall (i) restrict or limit the right or ability of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to pledge, mortgage, sell, assign, or otherwise encumber or dispose of any Margin Stock, or (ii) create an Event of Default arising out of or relating to any such pledge, mortgage, sale, assignment or other encumbrance or disposition or any agreement with respect thereto.

Section 9.16. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE COMPANY, THE BORROWING SUBSIDIARIES, THE AGENT, EACH ISSUING BANK AND THE BANKS IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, AMONG ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY NOTE. ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY.

Section 9.17. USA Patriot Act Notification. Each Bank hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (title III of Pub.L.107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, which information includes the name and address of such Borrower and other information that will allow such Bank to identify such Borrower in accordance with the Act. Each Borrower shall promptly provide any information reasonably requested by a Bank to comply with the Act.

Section 9.18. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Agent and the Arrangers are arm’s-length commercial transactions between each Borrower and its Affiliates on the one hand, and the Agent and the Arrangers, on the other hand, (B) each Borrower consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) each Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) the Agent and the

110

Arrangers each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for any Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the Agent nor the Arrangers have any obligation to any Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Agent and the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrowers and their Affiliates and neither the Agent nor the Arrangers have any obligation to disclose any of such interests to any Borrower or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Agent or the Arrangers with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

Section 9.19. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.19, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Banks shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Agent, or any Issuing Bank, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.
