Related to Maturity Date Extension; Conversion of Accrued Interest

• Maturity Date Extension The Borrower shall be entitled to extend the Maturity Date for up to two (2) six-month extensions; provided that (i) no Default then exists, (ii) the Borrower gives the Administrative Agent, at least ninety (90) days but no more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the initial Maturity Date or the First Extension Maturity Date, as the case may be, written notice of such extension, (iii) on or prior to the initial Maturity Date or the First Extension Maturity Date, as the case may be, the Borrower pays to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Banks an extension fee equal to 0.075% of the Total Commitments that will exist as of the first day of the first or second six-month extension, as the case may be (the “Extension Fee”), and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall have received on or prior to the initial Maturity Date or the First Extension Maturity Date, as the case may be, for the account of each Bank a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Parent, dated as of the initial Maturity Date or the First Extension Maturity Date, as the case may be (the “Extension Date”), stating that: (a) the representations and warranties contained in Article IV are true and correct on and as of the applicable Extension Date as such representations and warranties may have changed based upon events or activities not prohibited by this Agreement, (b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such extension, and (c) the Borrower, Parent and each Material Subsidiary is in compliance with the covenants contained in Article VII immediately before and, on a pro forma basis, immediately after the extension, together with a Compliance Certificate or other reasonable supporting information demonstrating such compliance. The Borrower’s delivery of written notice to extend shall be irrevocable, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of any such notice. In connection with any such extension, the parties hereto shall execute any documents reasonably requested in connection with or to evidence such extension. ARTICLE II

• Optional Extension of Stated Maturity The provisions of this Section 3.08 may be made applicable to any series of Securities pursuant to Section 3.01 (with such modifications, additions or substitutions as may be specified pursuant to such Section 3.01). The Stated Maturity of any Security of such series may be extended at the option of the Company for the period or periods specified on the face of such Security (each an "Extension Period") up to but not beyond the date (the "Final Maturity") set forth on the face of such Security. The Company may exercise such option with respect to any Security by notifying the Trustees of such exercise at least 50 but not more than 60 days prior to the Stated Maturity of such Security in effect prior to the exercise of such option (the "Original Stated Maturity"). If the Company exercises such option, the Trustees shall transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 1.07, to the Holder of such Security not later than 40 days prior to the Original Stated Maturity a notice (the "Extension Notice") indicating (i) the election of the Company to extend the Stated Maturity, (ii) the new Stated Maturity, (iii) the interest rate (if any) applicable to the Extension Period and (iv) the provisions, if any, for redemption during such Extension Period. Upon the Trustees' transmittal of the Extension Notice, the Stated Maturity of such Security shall be extended automatically and, except as modified by the Extension Notice and as described in the next paragraph, such Security will have the same terms as prior to the transmittal of such Extension Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than 20 days before the Original Stated Maturity of such Security, the Company may, at its option, revoke the interest rate provided for in the Extension Notice and establish a higher interest rate for the Extension Period by causing the Trustees to transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 1.07, notice of such higher interest rate to the Holder of such Security. Such notice shall be irrevocable. All Securities with respect to which the Stated Maturity is extended will bear such higher interest rate. If the Company extends the Maturity of any Security, the Holder will have the option to elect repayment of such Security by the Company on the Original Stated Maturity at a price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus interest accrued to such date. In order to obtain repayment on the Original Stated Maturity once the Company has extended the Maturity thereof, the Holder must follow the procedures set forth in Article Thirteen for repayment at the option of Holders, except that the period for delivery or notification to the Trustees shall be at least 25 but not more than 35 days prior to the Original Stated Maturity and except that, if the Holder has tendered any Security for repayment pursuant to an Extension Notice, the Holder may by written notice to the Trustees revoke such tender for repayment until the close of business on the tenth day before the Original Stated Maturity.

• Optional Conversion of Revolving Credit Advances The 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 and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.07 and 2.11(a), Convert all Revolving Credit Advances of one Type comprising the same Borrowing into Revolving Credit Advances of the other Type (it being understood that such Conversion of a Revolving Credit Advance or of its Interest Period does not constitute a repayment or prepayment of such Revolving Credit Advance); provided, however, that any Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advances, any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.02(b) and no Conversion of any Revolving Credit Advances shall result in more separate Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.02(b). Each such notice of a Conversion shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto, and shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Revolving Credit Advances to be Converted, and (iii) if such Conversion is into Eurodollar Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for each such Eurodollar Rate Advance. Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.

• Extension of Revolving Credit Maturity Date The Borrower shall have the right and option to extend the Revolving Credit Maturity Date in respect of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or portion thereof, if reduced in accordance with §2.4, a total of two (2) times for a period of twelve (12) months each upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent, which must be satisfied prior to the effectiveness of any extension of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date:

• Extension of Revolving Termination Date (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent in the form of Exhibit E-1 (an “Extension Request”) given no earlier than the first anniversary of the Restatement Effective Date but no later than 45 days prior to the then applicable Revolving Termination Date, request that the then applicable Revolving Termination Date be extended to a date (as requested by the Borrower) that is up to one calendar year after the then applicable Revolving Termination Date. Such extension shall be effective with respect to each Lender that, by a written notice in the form of Exhibit E-2 (a “Continuation Notice”) to the Administrative Agent given no later than 30 days after the applicable Extension Request is given by the Borrower (or such later date as the Borrower shall specify in such Extension Request) (the “Extension Request Response Date”), consents, in its sole discretion, to such extension (each Lender giving a Continuation Notice being referred to herein as a “Continuing Lender” and each Lender other than a Continuing Lender being referred to herein as a “Non-Extending Lender”), provided that (i) such extension shall be effective only if the aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Continuing Lenders constitute at least a majority of the Total Revolving Commitments on the date of the Extension Request, (ii) any Lender that fails to submit a Continuation Notice on or before the applicable Extension Request Response Date shall be deemed not to have consented to such extension and shall constitute a Non-Extending Lender, (iii) not later than ten days prior to the then applicable Revolving Termination Date (prior to giving effect to such requested extension thereof), the Borrower shall have the right to replace any Non-Extending Lender without its consent or acknowledgement on a non-pro-rata basis with one or more Continuing Lenders willing to honor the Borrower’s Extension Request on behalf of such Non-Extending Lender (including at a higher or lower Revolving Commitment than such Non-Extending Lender’s Revolving Commitment), provided that after giving effect to such replacement, the Total Revolving Commitments shall be no greater than the Total Revolving Commitments immediately prior to giving effect thereto, subject to any increase in the amount of Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 2.1(b) and (iv) the Borrower may give only two Extension Requests during the term of this Agreement. No Lender shall have any obligation to consent to any extension of the Revolving Termination Date. The Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the receipt of an Extension Request promptly after receipt thereof. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders no later than five days after the applicable Extension Request Response Date whether the Administrative Agent has received Continuation Notices from Lenders holding Revolving Commitments aggregating at least a majority of the Total Revolving Commitments on the date of the applicable Extension Request.

• Due Date Extension If any payment of principal or interest with respect to any of the Loans, or of any fees, falls due on a day which is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the immediately following Business Day (unless, in the case of a LIBOR Loan, such immediately following Business Day is the first Business Day of a calendar month, in which case such due date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day) and, in the case of principal, additional interest shall accrue and be payable for the period of any such extension.

• Notice of Interest Period and Interest Rate Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(a), a notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 2.09 or a notice of selection of an Interest Period pursuant to the definition of “Interest Period”, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrower and each Lender of the applicable Interest Period and the applicable interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent for purposes of clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above.

• Conversion to Different Type of Revolving Credit Loan The Borrowers may elect from time to time to convert any outstanding Revolving Credit Loan to a Revolving Credit Loan of another Type, provided that (a) with respect to any such conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, the Borrowers shall give the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice of such election; (b) with respect to any such conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrowers shall give the Administrative Agent at least three (3) LIBOR Business Days prior written notice of such election; (c) with respect to any such conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan into a Base Rate Loan, such conversion shall only be made on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto and (d) no Revolving Credit Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Rate Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. On the date on which such conversion is being made each Lender shall take such action as is necessary to transfer its Commitment Percentage of such Revolving Credit Loans to its Domestic Lending Office or its LIBOR Lending Office, as the case may be. All or any part of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of any Type may be converted into a Revolving Credit Loan of another Type as provided herein, provided that any partial conversion shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $250,000 or a whole multiple thereof. Each Conversion Request relating to the conversion of a Revolving Credit Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be irrevocable by the Borrowers.

• Extension of Revolving Credit Termination Date Borrower may, by notice to Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders) given at least thirty (30) days and not more than ninety (90) days prior to the then Revolving Credit Termination Date (the “Existing Commitment Termination Date”), request that Lenders extend the Existing Commitment Termination Date for one additional one-year period. Upon the Borrower’s timely delivery of such notice to Administrative Agent and provided, that (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (both on the date the notice is delivered and on the then Existing Commitment Revolving Credit Termination Date), (ii) the Borrower and the Subsidiaries are in compliance with all covenants contained in Section 8 hereof, (iii) all representations and warranties contained in Section 6 hereof shall be true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on the date the notice is delivered and on the then Existing Commitment Termination Date except for representations and warranties that relate to a prior date, which shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) as of the applicable date on which they were made and (iv) the Borrower has paid in immediately available funds the Extension Fee on or prior to the first day of any requested extension period, then the Revolving Credit Termination Date shall be extended to the first anniversary of the then Existing Commitment Termination Date. Should the Revolving Credit Termination Date be extended, the terms and conditions of this Agreement will apply during any such extension period, and from and after the date of such extension, the term Revolving Credit Termination Date shall mean the last day of the extended term.

• Additional Interest on Eurodollar Rate Advances The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, so long as such Lender 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 Eurodollar Rate Advance of such Lender, from the date of such 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 Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period for such Advance from (ii) the rate obtained by dividing such Eurodollar Rate by a percentage equal to 100% minus the Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage of such Lender for such Interest Period, payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Advance. Such additional interest shall be determined by such Lender and notified to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
