Section 3. Effectiveness. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of executed signature pages hereto from the Required Lenders and each Credit Party, the terms and conditions of this Amendment shall become effective as part of the terms and conditions of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement for any and all purposes; provided, however, the amendments to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement attached as Exhibit A hereto shall not become operative until an amendment to the CF Agreement has become operative.

Section 6. Headings. The headings of this Amendment are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

Section 7. Effect of Amendment. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders or the other Secured Parties under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, and shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or any other provision of either such agreement or any other Credit Document. Each and every term, condition, obligation, covenant and agreement contained in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document is hereby ratified and reaffirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect. Each Credit Party reaffirms its obligations under the Credit Documents to which it is party and the validity of the Liens granted by it pursuant to the Security Documents.

2.1. ~~Commitments~~ . Effect of Restatement on Loans and Letters of Credit Under Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

(a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth upon the effectiveness of this Agreement on the Second Restatement Effective Date:

(i) each Revolving Credit Loan of each Lender under the Original Credit Agreement shall remain outstanding under this Agreement as a Revolving Credit Loan from such Lender to the Parent Borrower;

(ii) each Swingline Loan under the Original Credit Agreement shall remain outstanding under this Agreement as a Swingline Loan to the Parent Borrower;

(iii) each Existing Letter of Credit shall continue as a Letter of Credit under this Agreement; and

(iv) ~~(a) [Reserved].~~each New Revolving Credit Loan of each Lender under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement shall remain outstanding under this Agreement as a New Revolving Credit Loan from such Lender to the Parent Borrower.

(b) (i) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Lender having a New Revolving Credit Commitment severally agrees to make a loan or loans denominated in Dollars (each a “New Revolving Credit Loan” and, collectively, the “New Revolving Credit Loans”) to the Parent Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers, which New Revolving Credit Loans (A) shall be made at any time and from time to time ~~on and after the Amendment and Restatement Date and~~ prior to the Final Maturity Date, (B) may, at the option of the Parent Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, ABR Loans or LIBOR Loans, provided that all New Revolving Credit Loans made by each of the Lenders pursuant to the same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, consist entirely of New Revolving Credit Loans of the same Type, (C) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof, (D) shall not, for any Lender at any time, after giving effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds thereof, result in such Lender’s New Revolving Exposure at such time exceeding such Lender’s New Revolving Credit Commitment at such time and (E) shall not, after giving effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds thereof, result at any time in the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ New Revolving Exposures at such time exceeding the lesser of the Borrowing Base and the Total New Revolving Credit Commitment, in each case as then in effect (subject to Section 2.1(e)).

-62-

(i) ~~(ii)~~ Each Lender may at its option make any LIBOR Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan, provided that (A) any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Loan and (B) in exercising such option, such Lender shall use its reasonable efforts to minimize any increased costs to the Borrowers resulting therefrom (which obligation of the Lender shall not require it to take, or refrain from taking, actions that it determines would result in increased costs for which it will not be compensated hereunder or that it determines would be otherwise disadvantageous to it and in the event of such request for costs for which compensation is provided under this Agreement, the provisions of Section 2.10 shall apply). On the Final Maturity Date, all New Revolving Credit Loans shall be repaid in full.

(c) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Swingline Lender in its individual capacity agrees, at any time and from time to time ~~on and after the Original Closing Date~~ and prior to the Swingline Maturity Date, to make a loan or loans (each a “Swingline Loan” and, collectively, the “Swingline Loans”) to the Parent Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers, which Swingline Loans (i) shall be ABR Loans, (ii) shall have the benefit of the provisions of Section 2.1(d), (iii) shall not exceed at any time outstanding the Swingline Commitment, (iv) shall not, after giving effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds thereof, result at any time in the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ New Revolving Exposures at such time exceeding the lesser of the Borrowing Base and the Total New Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect and (v) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof. Each outstanding Swingline Loan shall be repaid in full on the earlier of (a) 15 Business Days after such Swingline Loan is initially Borrowed and (b) the Swingline Maturity Date. The Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan after receiving a written notice from the Parent Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers or any Lender stating that a Default or Event of Default exists and is continuing until such time as the Swingline Lender shall have received written notice of (i) rescission of all such notices from the party or parties originally delivering such notice or (ii) the waiver of such Default or Event of Default in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.1.

(d) On any Business Day, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, give notice to each New Revolving Lender that all then-outstanding Swingline Loans shall be funded with a Borrowing of New Revolving Credit Loans, in which case New Revolving Credit Loans constituting ABR Loans (each such Borrowing, a “Mandatory Borrowing”) shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day by each New Revolving Lender pro rata based on each Lender’s New Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage, and the proceeds thereof shall be applied directly to the Swingline Lender to repay the Swingline Lender for such outstanding Swingline Loans. Each New Revolving Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make such New Revolving Credit Loans upon one Business Day’s notice pursuant to each Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the date specified to it in writing by the Swingline Lender notwithstanding (i) that the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for each Borrowing specified in Section 2.2, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 7 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (iv) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing or (v) any reduction in the Total New Revolving Credit Commitment or the

-63-

Borrowing Base after any such Swingline Loans were made. In the event that, in the sole judgment of the Swingline Lender, any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code in respect of any Borrower), each New Revolving Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase from the Swingline Lender (without recourse or warranty) such participation of the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause the Lenders to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon their respective New Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages, provided that all principal and interest payable on such Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date the respective participation is purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased participation, shall be payable to such Lender purchasing same from and after such date of purchase.

(e) Subject to the limitations set forth below (and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.1(b)(i)(E) or in Section 7) the Administrative Agent is authorized by the Parent Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers and the Lenders, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have absolutely no obligation), to make New Revolving Credit Loans that are ABR Loans on behalf of all Lenders to the Parent Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers, at any time that any condition precedent set forth in Section 7 has not been satisfied or waived, which the Administrative Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable (x) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof or (y) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations (each such loan, a “Protective Advance”). Any Protective Advance may be made in a principal amount that would cause the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ New Revolving Exposures to exceed the Borrowing Base; provided that no Protective Advance may be made to the extent that, after giving effect to such Protective Advance (together with the outstanding principal amount of any outstanding Protective Advances) the aggregate principal amount of all Protective Advances outstanding hereunder would exceed 5% of the Borrowing Base as determined on the date of such proposed Protective Advance; provided further that the aggregate amount of outstanding Protective Advances plus the aggregate New Revolving Exposures at such time shall not exceed the Total New Revolving Credit Commitment as then in effect. Each Protective Advance shall be secured by the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in and to the Collateral and shall constitute Obligations hereunder. The Administrative Agent’s authorization to make Protective Advances may be revoked at any time by the Required Lenders. Any such revocation must be in writing and will become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof. The making of a Protective Advance on any one occasion shall not obligate the Administrative Agent to make any Protective Advance on any other occasion and under no circumstance shall the Parent Borrower have the right to require that a Protective Advance be made. At any time that the conditions precedent set forth in Section 7 have been satisfied or waived, the Administrative Agent may request the New Revolving Lenders to make a New Revolving Credit Loan to repay a Protective Advance. At any other time, the Administrative Agent may require the Lenders to fund their risk participations described in Section 2.1(f).

(f) Upon the making of a Protective Advance by the Administrative Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default), each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, unconditionally and irrevocably to have

-64-

purchased from the Administrative Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Protective Advance in proportion to its New Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund its participation in any Protective Advance purchased hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s New Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent in respect of such Protective Advance.

2.2. Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing; Maximum Number of Borrowings. The aggregate principal amount of (i) each Borrowing of New Revolving Credit Loans shall be in a minimum amount of at least the Minimum Borrowing Amount for such Type of Loans and in a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) Swingline Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 and in a multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (except that Mandatory Borrowings and Protective Advances shall be made in the amounts required by Sections 2.1(d) and 2.1(e), respectively, and New Revolving Credit Loans to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to any Unpaid Drawing shall be made in the amounts required by Section 3.3 or Section 3.4, as applicable). More than one Borrowing may be incurred on any date, provided that at no time shall there be outstanding more than 30 Borrowings of LIBOR Loans under this Agreement.

2.3. Notice of Borrowing.

(a) [Reserved].

(b) Whenever any Borrower desires to incur New Revolving Credit Loans (other than Mandatory Borrowings or borrowings to repay Unpaid Drawings), the Parent Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers shall give the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office, (i) prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City Time) at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Borrowing of LIBOR Loans (or prior to 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) two Business Days’ prior written notice in the case of a Borrowing of New Revolving Credit Loans to be made on the Amendment and Restatement Date initially as LIBOR Loans) and (ii) prior to 10and (ii) prior to 12:00 ~~a.m.~~Noon (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Borrowing of New Revolving Credit Loans that are ABR Loans. Each such notice (together with each notice of a Borrowing of Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.3(c), a “Notice of Borrowing”), except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.10, shall specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of the New Revolving Credit Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing, (ii) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and (iii) whether the respective Borrowing shall consist of ABR Loans or LIBOR Loans and, if LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each New Revolving Lender written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each proposed Borrowing of New Revolving Credit Loans, of such Lender’s New Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage thereof and of the other matters covered by the related Notice of Borrowing.

-65-

(c) Whenever any Borrower desires to incur Swingline Loans hereunder, the Parent Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers shall give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Borrowing of Swingline Loans prior to 2:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing. Each such notice shall specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing and (ii) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day). The Administrative Agent shall promptly give the Swingline Lender written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each proposed Borrowing of Swingline Loans and of the other matters covered by the related Notice of Borrowing.

(d) Mandatory Borrowings shall be made upon the notice specified in Section 2.1(d), with the Parent Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers irrevocably agreeing, by its incurrence of any Swingline Loan, to the making of Mandatory Borrowings as set forth in such Section.

(e) Borrowings to reimburse Unpaid Drawings shall be made upon the notice specified in Section 3.4(a).

(f) Without in any way limiting the obligation of any Borrower to confirm in writing any notice it may give hereunder by telephone, the Administrative Agent may act prior to receipt of written confirmation without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of such Borrower.

2.4. Disbursement of Funds.

(a) No later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing (including Mandatory Borrowings), each Lender will make available its pro rata portion, if any, of each Borrowing requested to be made on such date in the manner provided below, provided that all Swingline Loans shall be made available in the full amount thereof by the Swingline Lender no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date requested.

(b) Each Lender shall make available all amounts it is to fund to the Parent Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers under any Borrowing for its applicable Commitments, and in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office and the Administrative Agent will (except in the case of Mandatory Borrowings and Borrowings to repay Unpaid Drawings) make available to the Parent Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers, by depositing to an account designated by the Parent Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent the aggregate of the amounts so made available. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of any such Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) make available to the Parent Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Administrative Agent has

-66-

made available such amount to the Parent Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Borrowers shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the Borrowers interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if paid by such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or (ii) if paid by the Borrowers, the then-applicable rate of interest or fees, calculated in accordance with Section 2.8, for the respective Loans. Nothing in this Section 2.4 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that any Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder).

2.5. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) The Parent Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers shall repay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Lenders, on the Final Maturity Date, the then-outstanding New Revolving Credit Loans made to the Borrowers. The Parent Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers shall repay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, on the Swingline Maturity Date, the then-outstanding Swingline Loans.

(b) The Parent Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers shall repay to the Administrative Agent the then unpaid amount of each Protective Advance on the Final Maturity Date.

(d) [Reserved].

(e) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to the appropriate lending office of such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such lending office of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such lending office of such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(f) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 14.6(b), and a subaccount for each Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, whether such Loan is a New Revolving Credit Loan, Protective Advance or Swingline Loan, as applicable, the Type of each Loan made, and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender or the Swingline Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrowers and each Lender’s share thereof.

-67-

(g) The entries made in the Register and accounts and subaccounts maintained pursuant to clauses (e) and (f) of this Section 2.5 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrowers therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such account, such Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrowers by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

2.6. Conversions and Continuations

(a) Subject to the penultimate sentence of this clause (a), the Parent Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers shall have the option on any Business Day to convert all or a portion equal to at least $10,000,000 of the outstanding principal amount of New Revolving Credit Loans made to the Parent Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers of one Type into a Borrowing or Borrowings of another Type and the Parent Borrower, on behalf of the Borrowers, shall have the option on any Business Day to continue the outstanding principal amount of any LIBOR Loans as LIBOR Loans for an additional Interest Period, provided that (i) no partial conversion of LIBOR Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount, (ii) ABR Loans may not be converted into LIBOR Loans if a Default or Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversion, (iii) LIBOR Loans may not be continued as LIBOR Loans for an additional Interest Period if a Default or Event of Default is in existence on the date of the proposed continuation and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuation, (iv) Borrowings resulting from conversions pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be limited in number as provided in Section 2.2 and (v) Swingline Loans and Protective Advances may not be converted to LIBOR Loans under any circumstances. Each such conversion or continuation shall be effected by the Parent Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) at least three Business Days’ (or one Business Day’s in the case of a conversion into ABR Loans) prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) (each, a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) specifying the New Revolving Credit Loans to be so converted or continued, the Type of New Revolving Credit Loans to be converted or continued and, if such New Revolving Credit Loans are to be converted into or continued as LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each applicable Lender notice as promptly as practicable of any such proposed conversion or continuation affecting any of its New Revolving Credit Loans. If any Default or Event of Default is in existence at the time of any proposed continuation of any LIBOR Loans and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuation, such LIBOR Loans shall be automatically converted on the last day of the current Interest Period into ABR Loans. If upon the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of LIBOR Loans, the Parent Borrower has failed to elect a new Interest Period to be applicable thereto as provided in clause (a) above, the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to continue such Borrowing of LIBOR Loans into a Borrowing of ABR Loans, effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

-68-

2.7. Pro Rata Borrowings. Each Borrowing of New Revolving Credit Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their then-applicable New Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages. It is understood that (a) no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender severally but not jointly shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder and (b) other than as expressly provided herein with respect to a Defaulting Lender, failure by a Lender to perform any of its obligations under any of the Credit Documents shall not release any Person from performance of its obligation under any Credit Document.

2.8. Interest.

(a) The unpaid principal amount of each ABR Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable ABR Margin plus the ABR, in each case, in effect from time to time.

(b) The unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable LIBOR Margin plus the relevant LIBOR Rate, in each case, in effect from time to time.

(c) If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan or (ii) any interest payable thereon shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is (the “Default Rate”) (x) in the case of overdue principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto plus 2% or (y) in the case of any overdue interest, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the rate described in Section 2.8(a) plus 2% from the date of such non-payment to the date on which such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

(d) Interest on each Loan shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof and shall be payable (i) in respect of each ABR Loan, quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, (ii) in respect of each LIBOR Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three-month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period, (iii) in respect of each Loan, (A) on any prepayment (on the amount prepaid but excluding in any event prepayments of ABR Loans), (B) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (C) after such maturity, on demand.

(e) All computations of interest hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 5.5.

(f) The Administrative Agent, upon determining the interest rate for any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the relevant Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

-69-

2.9. Interest Periods. At the time the Parent Borrower gives a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into or continuation as, a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans in accordance with Section 2.6(a), the Parent Borrower shall have the right to elect by giving the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) the Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Parent Borrower be a one, two, three, six or (in the case of New Revolving Credit Loans, if available to all the Lenders making such loans as determined by such Lenders in good faith based on prevailing market conditions) a nine or twelve month period (or such other period of less than six months as to which the Administrative Agent may consent).Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above:

(a) the initial Interest Period for any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans shall commence on the date of such Borrowing (including the date of any conversion from a Borrowing of ABR Loans) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Borrowing shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;

(b) if any Interest Period relating to a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month or begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period;

(c) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day, provided that if any Interest Period in respect of a LIBOR Loan would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day; and

(d) no Borrower shall be entitled to elect any Interest Period in respect of any LIBOR Loan if such Interest Period would extend beyond the Final Maturity Date.

2.10. Increased Costs, Illegality, Etc.

(a) In the event that (x) in the case of clause (i) below, the Administrative Agent or (y) in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) below, any Lender shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto):

(i) on any date for determining the LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period that (x) Dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising such LIBOR Borrowing are not generally available in the relevant market or (y) by reason of any changes arising on or after the Original Closing Date affecting the interbank LIBOR market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBOR Rate; or

(ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any LIBOR Loans (other than any increase or reduction attributable to Taxes) because of (x) any change since the

-70-

Original Closing Date in any applicable law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order), such as, for example, without limitation, a change in official reserve requirements, and/or (y) other circumstances affecting the interbank LIBOR market or the position of such Lender in such market; or

(iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any LIBOR Loan has become unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Original Closing Date that materially and adversely affects the interbank LIBOR market;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall within a reasonable time thereafter give notice (if by telephone, confirmed in writing) to the Parent Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers and to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, LIBOR Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Parent Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist (which notice the Administrative Agent agrees to give at such time when such circumstances no longer exist), and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion given by the Parent Borrower with respect to LIBOR Loans that have not yet been incurred shall be deemed rescinded by the Parent Borrower, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender, promptly after receipt of written demand therefor such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its reasonable discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable hereunder (it being agreed that a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Parent Borrower by such Lender shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) and (z) in the case of subclause (iii) above, the Borrowers shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.10(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

(b) At any time that any LIBOR Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), the Parent Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers may (and in the case of a LIBOR Loan affected pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(iii) shall) either (x) if the affected LIBOR Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, cancel such Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing) thereof on the same date that the Parent Borrower was notified by a Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii) or (y) if the affected LIBOR Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert each such LIBOR

-71-

Loan into an ABR Loan, provided that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated in the same manner pursuant to this Section 2.10(b).

(c) If, after the Original Closing Date, any Change in Law relating to capital adequacy of any Lender or compliance by any Lender or its parent with any Change in Law relating to capital adequacy occurring after the Original Closing Date, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or its parent’s or its Affiliate’s capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender’s commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or its parent or its Affiliate could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or its parent’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, promptly after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its parent for such reduction, it being understood and agreed, however, that a Lender shall not be entitled to such compensation as a result of such Lender’s compliance with, or pursuant to any request or directive to comply with, any such law, rule or regulation as in effect on the Original Closing Date. Each Lender, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Parent Borrower, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, although the failure to give any such notice shall not, subject to Section 2.13, release or diminish the Borrowers’ obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) upon receipt of such notice.

(d) It is understood that this Section 2.10 shall not apply to (i) Taxes indemnifiable under Section 5.4, (ii) net income taxes and franchise and excise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on any Agent or Lender or (iii) Taxes included under clause (b) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes”.

2.11. Compensation. If (a) any payment of principal of any LIBOR Loan is made by any Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan as a result of a payment or conversion pursuant to Section 2.5, 2.6, 2.10, 5.1, 5.2 or 14.7, as a result of acceleration of the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Section 11 or for any other reason, (b) any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans is not made as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Borrowing, (c) any ABR Loan is not converted into a LIBOR Loan as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Conversion or Continuation, (d) any LIBOR Loan is not continued as a LIBOR Loan, as the case may be, as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Conversion or Continuation or (e) any prepayment of principal of any LIBOR Loan is not made as a result of a withdrawn notice of prepayment pursuant to Section 5.1 or 5.2, the Borrowers shall, after the Parent Borrower’s receipt of a written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that such Lender may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, failure to convert, failure to continue or failure to prepay, including any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such LIBOR Loan.

2.14. Incremental Facilities.

(a) ~~The~~At any time following the Second Restatement Effective Date, the Parent Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers may by written notice to Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more increases in New Revolving Credit Commitments (the “Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments”), by an aggregate amount not in excess of (when taken together with the aggregate amount (the “Excess Amount”) of New Loan Commitments (as defined in the CF Agreement ~~as in~~after giving effect ~~on the Original Closing Date~~to any exclusions thereto) under the CF Facility on the date such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments become effective) $1,500,000,000 in the aggregate and not less than $100,000,000 individually (or such lesser amount as (x) may be approved by the Administrative Agent or (y) shall constitute the difference between $1,500,000,000 and all such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments (when taken together with the Excess Amount on the date such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments become effective) obtained on or prior to such date). Each such notice shall specify the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Parent Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers proposes that the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than ten Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent. The Parent Borrower may approach any Lender or any other Person (other than a natural person) to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment. In each case, such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments shall become effective, as of the applicable Increased Amount Date; provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable; (ii) both before and after giving effect to the making of any Incremental Revolving Loans, each of the conditions set forth in Section 7 shall be satisfied; (iii)

-73-

the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be in Pro Forma Compliance with the covenant set forth in Section ~~10.9~~10.8 of the CF Agreement as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter after giving effect to such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments and any Investment to be consummated in connection therewith; (iv) the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by the Borrowers and Administrative Agent, and each of which shall be recorded in the Register and shall be subject to the requirements set forth in Sections 5.4(d) and (e); (v) the Parent Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers shall make any payments required pursuant to Section 2.11 in connection with the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable; and (vi) the Parent Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction. The Parent Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers shall give the Administrative Agent prompt written notice of any increase in the aggregate amount committed in respect of the CF Facility. On any Increased Amount Date on which Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (a) each of the Lenders with New Revolving Credit Commitments shall assign to each Lender with a Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment (each, a “Incremental Revolving Loan Lender”) and each of the Incremental Revolving Loan Lenders shall purchase from each of the Lenders with New Revolving Credit Commitments, at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such interests in the New Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such New Revolving Credit Loans will be held by existing New Revolving Lenders and Incremental Revolving Loan Lenders ratably in accordance with their New Revolving Credit Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments to the New Revolving Credit Commitments, (b) each Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a New Revolving Credit Commitment and each Loan made thereunder (a “Incremental Revolving Loan”) shall be deemed, for all purposes, a New Revolving Credit Loan and (c) each Incremental Revolving Loan Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment and all matters relating thereto.

(d) The terms and provisions of the Incremental Revolving Loans and Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments shall be identical to the New Revolving Credit Loans and the New Revolving Credit Commitments.

(e) Each Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provision of this Section 2.14.

2.15. Reserves. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may at any time and from time to time in the exercise of its Permitted Discretion establish and increase or decrease Reserves; provided that the Administrative Agent shall have provided the Parent Borrower at least 3 Business Days’ prior written notice of any such establishment or

-74-

increase; and provided further that the Administrative Agent may only establish or increase a Reserve after the Original Closing Date based on an event, condition or other circumstance arising after the Original Closing Date or based on facts not known to the Administrative Agent as of the Original Closing Date. The amount of any Reserve established by the Administrative Agent shall have a reasonable relationship to the event, condition, other circumstance or new fact that is the basis for the Reserve. Upon delivery of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall be available to discuss the proposed Reserve or increase, and the Borrowers may take such action as may be required so that the event, condition, circumstance or new fact that is the basis for such Reserve or increase no longer exists, in a manner and to the extent reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in the exercise of its Permitted Discretion. In no event shall such notice and opportunity limit the right of the Administrative Agent to establish or change such Reserve, unless the Administrative Agent shall have determined in its Permitted Discretion that the event, condition, other circumstance or new fact that is the basis for such new Reserve or such change no longer exists or has otherwise been adequately addressed by the Borrowers.

(d) [Reserved].

(e) The Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Letter of Credit Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to the Letter of Credit Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Letter of Credit Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the Letter of Credit Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Letter of Credit Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Original Closing Date, or shall impose upon the Letter of Credit Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Original Closing Date and which the Letter of Credit Issuer in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it;

-76-

arrangements with the Parent Borrower or such New Revolving Lender to eliminate the Letter of Credit Issuer’s risk with respect to such New Revolving Lender.

(f) The Letter of Credit Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the Letter of Credit Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.

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

(h) The Letter of Credit Issuer shall act on behalf of the New Revolving Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Section 13 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Section 13 included the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the Letter of Credit Issuer.

3.2. Letter of Credit Requests.

(a) Whenever any Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account or amended, the Parent Borrower on behalf of such Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer a Letter of Credit Request by no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least two (or such lesser number as may be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer) Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance or amendment. Each notice shall be executed by the Parent Borrower and shall be in the form of Exhibit GA to ~~the Original Credit~~this Agreement (each a “Letter of Credit Request”).

(b) In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Request shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the Stated Amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the Letter of Credit Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Request shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the Letter of Credit Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, the Parent Borrower shall furnish to the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment,

-77-

including any Issuer Documents, as the Letter of Credit Issuer or the Administrative Agent may require.

(c) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Request, the Letter of Credit Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Request from the Parent Borrower on behalf of the applicable Borrower and, if not, the Letter of Credit Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the Letter of Credit Issuer has received written notice from any New Revolving Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Credit Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Sections 6 and 7 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the applicable Borrower (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the Letter of Credit Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.

(d) If the Parent Borrower on behalf of any Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Request, the Letter of Credit Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the Letter of Credit Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Parent Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Letter of Credit Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Letter of Credit Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the L/C Maturity Date; provided, however, that the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the Letter of Credit Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (b) or (e) of Section 3.1 or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Parent Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Sections 6 and 7 are not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the Letter of Credit Issuer not to permit such extension.

(e) If the Parent Borrower on behalf of any Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Request, the Letter of Credit Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that permits the automatic reinstatement of all or a portion of the stated amount thereof after any drawing thereunder (each, an “Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit”). Unless otherwise directed by the Letter of Credit Issuer, the

-78-

Parent Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Letter of Credit Issuer to permit such reinstatement. Once an Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit has been issued, except as provided in the following sentence, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Letter of Credit Issuer to reinstate all or a portion of the stated amount thereof in accordance with the provisions of such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit permits the Letter of Credit Issuer to decline to reinstate all or any portion of the stated amount thereof after a drawing thereunder by giving notice of such non-reinstatement within a specified number of days after such drawing (the “Non-Reinstatement Deadline”), the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not permit such reinstatement if it has received a notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Reinstatement Deadline (A) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such reinstatement or (B) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Parent Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Sections 6 and 7 are not then satisfied (treating such reinstatement as the issuance of a Letter of Credit for purposes of this clause) and, in each case, directing the Letter of Credit Issuer not to permit such reinstatement.

(f) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the Letter of Credit Issuer will also deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. On the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, each Letter of Credit Issuer shall provide the Administrative Agent a list of all Letters of Credit issued by it that are outstanding at such time.

(g) The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the applicable Borrower that the Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 3.1(b).

3.3. Letter of Credit Participations.

(a) Immediately upon the issuance by the Letter of Credit Issuer of any Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each New Revolving Lender (each such New Revolving Lender, in its capacity under this Section 3.3, an “L/C Participant”), and each such L/C Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from the Letter of Credit Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (each an “L/C Participation”), to the extent of such L/C Participant’s New Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage, in each Letter of Credit, each substitute therefor, each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto; provided that the Letter of Credit Fees will be paid directly to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the L/C Participants as provided in Section 4.1(b) and the L/C Participants shall have no right to receive any portion of any Fronting Fees.

(b) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer shall have no obligation relative to the L/C Participants other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been

-79-

delivered and that they appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not create for the Letter of Credit Issuer any resulting liability.

(c) In the event that the Letter of Credit Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the Borrowers shall not have repaid such amount in full to the respective Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 3.4(a), the Letter of Credit Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and each L/C Participant of such failure, and each such L/C Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the amount of such L/C Participant’s New Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in Dollars and in immediately available funds; provided, however, that no L/C Participant shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer its New Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed amount arising from any wrongful payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any such Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Letter of Credit Issuer. If the Letter of Credit Issuer so notifies, prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, any L/C Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such L/C Participant shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer such L/C Participant’s New Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day in immediately available funds. If and to the extent such L/C Participant shall not have so made its New Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer, such L/C Participant agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer, forthwith on demand, such amount, together with interest thereon for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate from time to time then in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with the foregoing. The failure of any L/C Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer its New Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other L/C Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer its New Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any payment under such Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no L/C Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other L/C Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent such other L/C Participant’s New Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any such payment.

(d) Whenever the Letter of Credit Issuer receives a payment in respect of an unpaid reimbursement obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer any payments from the L/C Participants pursuant to clause (c) above, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each L/C Participant that has paid its New Revolving

-80-

Credit Commitment Percentage of such reimbursement obligation, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such L/C Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all L/C Participants) of the principal amount so paid in respect of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective L/C Participations at the Overnight Rate.

(e) The obligations of the L/C Participants to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of a Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to counterclaim, set-off or other defense or any other qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including under any of the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents;

(ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that a Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer, any Lender or other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between a Borrower and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit);

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

(iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Credit Documents; or

(v) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default;

provided, however, that no L/C Participant shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer its New Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any unreimbursed amount arising from any wrongful payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under a Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Letter of Credit Issuer.

3.4. Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings.

(a) The Borrowers hereby agree to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer, by making payment in Dollars to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for any payment or disbursement made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit (each such amount so paid until reimbursed, an “Unpaid Drawing”) no later than the date that is one Business Day after the date on which the Parent Borrower receives notice of such payment or

-81-

disbursement (the “Reimbursement Date”), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by the Letter of Credit Issuer, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Reimbursement Date, from the Reimbursement Date to the date the Letter of Credit Issuer is reimbursed therefor at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable ABR Margin plus the ABR as in effect from time to time, provided that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) unless the Parent Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer prior to 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the Reimbursement Date that the Parent Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers intends to reimburse the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer for the amount of such drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Loans, the Parent Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers shall be deemed to have given a Notice of Borrowing requesting that, with respect to Letters of Credit, the Lenders with New Revolving Credit Commitments make New Revolving Credit Loans (which shall be ABR Loans) on the Reimbursement Date in the amount of such drawing and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant L/C Participant of such drawing and the amount of its New Revolving Credit Loan to be made in respect thereof, and each L/C Participant shall be irrevocably obligated to make a New Revolving Credit Loan to the Parent Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers in the manner deemed to have been requested in the amount of its New Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the applicable Unpaid Drawing by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Reimbursement Date by making the amount of such New Revolving Credit Loan available to the Administrative Agent. Such New Revolving Credit Loans shall be made without regard to the Minimum Borrowing Amount. The Administrative Agent shall use the proceeds of such New Revolving Credit Loans solely for purpose of reimbursing the Letter of Credit Issuer for the related Unpaid Drawing. In the event that the Parent Borrower fails to Cash Collateralize any Letter of Credit that is outstanding on the Final Maturity Date, the full amount of the Letters of Credit Outstanding in respect of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be an Unpaid Drawing subject to the provisions of this Section 3.4 except that the Letter of Credit Issuer shall hold the proceeds received from the L/C Participants as contemplated above as cash collateral for such Letter of Credit to reimburse any Drawing under such Letter of Credit and shall use such proceeds first, to reimburse itself for any Drawings made in respect of such Letter of Credit following the L/C Maturity Date, second, to the extent such Letter of Credit expires or is returned undrawn while any such cash collateral remains, to the repayment of obligations in respect of any New Revolving Credit Loans that have not paid at such time and third, to the Parent Borrower or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section 3.4(a) shall affect the Parent Borrower’s obligation to repay all outstanding New Revolving Credit Loans when due in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 3.4 to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Unpaid Drawings (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment that any Borrower or any other Person may have or have had against the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including in its capacity as an L/C Participant), including any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit (each a “Drawing”) to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing, provided that the Borrowers shall not be obligated to reimburse the Letter of Credit

-82-

Issuer for any wrongful payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under the Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Letter of Credit Issuer.

3.5. Increased Costs.

If after the Original Closing Date, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or actual compliance by the Letter of Credit Issuer or any L/C Participant with any request or directive made or adopted after the Original Closing Date (whether or not having the force of law), by any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall either (a) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by the Letter of Credit Issuer, or any L/C Participant’s L/C Participation therein, or (b) impose on the Letter of Credit Issuer or any L/C Participant any other conditions affecting its obligations under this Agreement in respect of Letters of Credit or L/C Participations therein or any Letter of Credit or such L/C Participant’s L/C Participation therein, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant hereunder (other than any such increase or reduction attributable to (i) taxes indemnified under Section 5.4, (ii) net income taxes and franchise and excise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on any Agent or Lender and, to the extent not duplicative, any Taxes imposed on any Agent or Lender where that Tax is imposed upon or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by such Agent or Lender or (iii) Taxes included under clause (b) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes”) in respect of Letters of Credit or L/C Participations therein, then, promptly after receipt of written demand to the Parent Borrower by the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant, as the case may be (a copy of which notice shall be sent by the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall pay to the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant for such increased cost or reduction, it being understood and agreed, however, that the Letter of Credit Issuer or an L/C Participant shall not be entitled to such compensation as a result of such Person’s compliance with, or pursuant to any request or directive to comply with, any such law, rule or regulation as in effect on the Original Closing Date. A certificate submitted to the Parent Borrower by the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer or an L/C Participant, as the case may be (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the determination of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant as aforesaid shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers absent clearly demonstrable error.

3.6. New or Successor Letter of Credit Issuer.

-83-

(a) The Letter of Credit Issuer may resign as a Letter of Credit Issuer upon 60 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Parent Borrower. The Parent Borrower may replace the Letter of Credit Issuer for any reason upon written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer. The Parent Borrower may add Letter of Credit Issuers at any time upon notice to the Administrative Agent. If the Letter of Credit Issuer shall resign or be replaced, or if the Parent Borrower shall decide to add a new Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement, then the Parent Borrower may appoint from among the Lenders a successor issuer of Letters of Credit or a new Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, or, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), another successor or new issuer of Letters of Credit, whereupon such successor issuer shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the replaced or resigning Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, or such new issuer of Letters of Credit shall be granted the rights, powers and duties of a Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder, and the term “Letter of Credit Issuer” shall mean such successor or such new issuer of Letters of Credit effective upon such appointment. At the time such resignation or replacement shall become effective, the Parent Borrower, on behalf of the Borrowers, shall pay to the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer all accrued and unpaid fees pursuant to Sections 4.1(c) and 4.1(d). The acceptance of any appointment as a Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder whether as a successor issuer or new issuer of Letters of Credit in accordance with this Agreement, shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such new or successor issuer of Letters of Credit, in a form satisfactory to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, such new or successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall become a “Letter of Credit Issuer” hereunder. After the resignation or replacement of a Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder, the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. In connection with any resignation or replacement pursuant to this clause (a) (but, in case of any such resignation, only to the extent that a successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall have been appointed), either (i) the Parent Borrower, the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer and the successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall arrange to have any outstanding Letters of Credit issued by the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer replaced with Letters of Credit issued by the successor issuer of Letters of Credit or (ii) the Parent Borrower shall cause the successor issuer of Letters of Credit, if such successor issuer is reasonably satisfactory to the replaced or resigning Letter of Credit Issuer, to issue “back-stop” Letters of Credit naming the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer as beneficiary for each outstanding Letter of Credit issued by the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer, which new Letters of Credit shall have a face amount equal to the Letters of Credit being back-stopped and the sole requirement for drawing on such new Letters of Credit shall be a drawing on the corresponding back-stopped Letters of Credit. After any resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer’s resignation or replacement as Letter of Credit Issuer, the provisions of this Agreement relating to a Letter of Credit Issuer shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it (A) while it was a Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement or (B) at any time with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer.

-84-

(b) To the extent that there are, at the time of any resignation or replacement as set forth in clause (a) above, any outstanding Letters of Credit, nothing herein shall be deemed to impact or impair any rights and obligations of any of the parties hereto with respect to such outstanding Letters of Credit (including, without limitation, any obligations related to the payment of Fees or the reimbursement or funding of amounts drawn), except that the Parent Borrower, the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer and the successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall have the obligations regarding outstanding Letters of Credit described in clause (a) above.

3.7. Role of Letter of Credit Issuer. Each Lender and the Parent Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective affiliates nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Required Lenders; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrowers hereby assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrowers’ pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective affiliates nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in Section 3.3(e); provided that anything in such Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers may have a claim against the Letter of Credit Issuer, and the Letter of Credit Issuer may be liable to the Borrowers, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the any Borrower which any Borrower proves were caused by the Letter of Credit Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Letter of Credit Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

3.8. Cash Collateral.

(a) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (A) if the Letter of Credit Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (B) if, as of the L/C Maturity Date, there are any

-85-

Letters of Credit Outstanding, the Parent Borrower, on behalf of the Borrowers, shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Letters of Credit Outstanding.

(b) The Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time after the initial deposit of Cash Collateral, request that additional Cash Collateral be provided in order to protect against the results of exchange rate fluctuations.

(c) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Administrative Agent or New Revolving Lenders with Letter of Credit Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total Letter of Credit Exposure may require that the L/C Obligations be Cash Collateralized.

(d) For purposes of this Section 3.8, “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders, as collateral for the applicable L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances in an amount equal to the amount of the Letters of Credit Outstanding required to be Cash Collateralized pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Parent Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Letter of Credit Issuer and the L/C Participants, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts with the Administrative Agent.

3.9. Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Parent Borrower 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.

3.10. Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

3.11. Letters of Credit Issued for Restricted 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 Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Borrower, the Parent Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Parent Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Borrowers inures to the benefit of the Parent Borrower, and that the Parent Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Restricted Subsidiaries.

SECTION 4. Fees; Commitments

4.1. Fees.

-86-

(a) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars, for the account of each New Revolving Lender (in each case pro rata according to the respective New Revolving Credit Commitments of all such Lenders), a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) for each day from the ~~Amendment and Restatement Date~~ most recent date such fees were paid under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (or if such fees have not been paid under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, from the most recent date fees have been paid with respect to such Commitments became effective) to the New Revolving Termination Date.

Such Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable (x) quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and (y) on the date upon which the Total New Revolving Credit Commitment terminates and the Letters of Credit Outstanding shall have been reduced to zero.

(c) The Borrowers agree to pay to each Letter of Credit Issuer a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by it (the “Fronting Fee”), for the period from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (or the most recent date from which such fee was paid under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) to the termination date of such Letter of Credit, computed at the rate for each day equal to 0.125% per annum on the average daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit. Such Fronting Fees shall be due and payable by the Parent Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers (x) quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and (y) on the date upon which the Total New Revolving Credit Commitment terminates and the Letters of Credit Outstanding shall have been reduced to zero.

(d) The Parent Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers agrees to pay directly to the Letter of Credit Issuer upon each issuance of, drawing under, and/or amendment of, a Letter of Credit issued by it such amount as the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Parent Borrower shall have agreed upon for issuances of, drawings under or amendments of, letters of credit issued by it.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any amounts to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 4.1.

-87-

4.2. Voluntary Reduction of New Revolving Credit Commitments. Upon at least one Business Day’s prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the Parent Borrower (on behalf of itself) shall have the right, without premium or penalty, on any day, permanently to terminate or reduce the New Revolving Credit Commitments in whole or in part, provided that (a) any such reduction shall apply proportionately and permanently to reduce the New Revolving Credit Commitment of each of the Lenders, (b) any partial reduction pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be in the amount of at least $10,000,000 and (c) after giving effect to such termination or reduction and to any prepayments of the Loans made on the date thereof in accordance with this Agreement (including pursuant to Section 5.2(b)(i)), the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ New Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the Total New Revolving Credit Commitment.

At the Parent Borrower’s election in connection with any prepayment pursuant to

-88-

5.2. Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) [Reserved].

(b) Repayment of New Revolving Credit Loans. (i) If on any date the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ New Revolving Exposures (collectively, the “Aggregate New Revolving Outstandings”) for any reason exceeds 100% of the Total New Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect, the Borrowers shall forthwith repay on such date the principal amount of any Protective Advances and after all Protective Advances have been paid in full, Swingline Loans and, after all Swingline Loans have been paid in full, New Revolving Credit Loans in an amount equal to such excess. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Protective Advances, Swingline Loans and New Revolving Credit Loans, the Aggregate New Revolving Outstandings exceed the Total New Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect, the Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations to the extent of such excess.

(i) ~~(ii)~~ Except for Protective Advances, if on any date the Aggregate New Revolving Outstandings for any reason ~~exceed~~exceeds 100% of the Borrowing Base then in effect, the Borrowers shall forthwith repay on such date the principal amount of Swingline Loans and, after all Swingline Loans have been paid in full, New Revolving Credit Loans in an amount equal to such excess. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Swingline Loans and New Revolving Credit Loans, the Aggregate New Revolving Outstandings exceed the Borrowing Base then in effect, the Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations to the extent of such excess.

(c) At all times following the establishment of the Cash Management Systems pursuant to Section 9.15(a) and after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Cash Dominion Event and notification thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Parent Borrower (subject to the provisions of the Security Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement), on each Business Day, at or before 1:00 p.m. New York City time, the Administrative Agent shall apply all immediately available funds credited to the Collection Account, first to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders (other than in connection with Secured Cash Management Agreements or Secured Hedge Agreements), pro rata, second to pay interest due and payable in respect of any Loans (including Swingline Loans and Protective Advances) that may be outstanding, pro rata, third to prepay the principal of any Protective Advances that may be outstanding, pro rata, fourth to prepay the principal of the New Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans and to Cash Collateralize outstanding Letter of Credit Exposure, pro rata and fifth to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to any Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, pro rata.

(d) [Reserved].

(e) Application to New Revolving Credit Loans. With respect to each prepayment of New Revolving Credit Loans required by Section 5.2(b), the Parent Borrower may designate (i) the Types of Loans that are to be prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made and (ii) the New Revolving Credit Loans to be prepaid, provided that (y) each prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Loans; and (z) notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding clause (y), no prepayment of New Revolving Credit Loans shall be applied to the New Revolving Credit Loans of any Defaulting Lender unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parent Borrower. In the absence of a designation by the Parent Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.11.

(f) LIBOR Interest Periods. In lieu of making any payment pursuant to this Section 5.2 in respect of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period therefor so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Parent Borrower at its option may deposit on behalf of the Borrowers with the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the amount of the LIBOR Loan to be prepaid and such LIBOR Loan shall be repaid on the last day of the Interest Period therefor in the required amount. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a corporate time deposit account established on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, earning interest at the then-customary rate for accounts of such type. Such deposit shall constitute cash collateral for the LIBOR Loans to be so prepaid, provided that the Parent Borrower may at any time direct that such deposit be applied to make the applicable payment required pursuant to this Section 5.2.

5.3. Method and Place of Payment.

(a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement shall be made by the Parent Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders entitled thereto, the Letter of Credit Issuer or the Swingline Lender entitled thereto, as the case may be, not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time), in each case, on the date when due and shall be made in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office or at such other office as the Administrative Agent shall specify for such purpose by notice to the Parent Borrower, it being understood that written or facsimile notice by the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent to make a payment from the funds in the Parent Borrower’s account at the Administrative Agent’s Office shall constitute the making of such payment to the extent of such funds held in such account. All payments under each Credit Document shall, unless otherwise specified in such Credit Document be made in Dollars. The Administrative Agent will thereafter cause to be distributed on the same day (if payment was actually received by the Administrative Agent prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) or, otherwise, on the next

-90-

Business Day), in like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or Fees ratably to the Lenders entitled thereto.

(b) Any payments under this Agreement that are made later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension.

5.4. Net Payments.

(a) Any and all payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Indemnified Taxes; provided that if any Borrower shall be required by applicable Requirements of Law to deduct or withhold any Indemnified Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.4) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the applicable Borrower shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the applicable Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority within the time allowed and in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law. Whenever any Indemnified Taxes are payable by any Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter, such Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt (or other evidence acceptable to such Lender, acting reasonably) received by such Borrower showing payment thereof.

(b) The Borrowers shall timely pay and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each Collateral Agent and each Lender (whether or not such Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority) with regard to any Other Taxes.

(c) The Borrowers shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender within 15 Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower hereunder or under any other Credit Document (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.4) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Parent Borrower by a Lender, the Administrative Agent or

-91-

the Collateral Agent (as applicable) on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Each Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so:

(i) deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent two copies of either (x) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (together with a certificate representing that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Parent Borrower and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Parent Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code)), or (y) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, in each case properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or reduced rate of, U.S. Federal withholding tax on payments by the Parent Borrower under this Agreement; and

(ii) deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further copies of any such form or certification (or any applicable successor form) on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Parent Borrower;

unless in any such case any Change in Law has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required that renders any such form inapplicable or would prevent such Non-U.S. Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Non-U.S. Lender promptly so advises the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Each Person that shall become a Participant pursuant to Section 14.6 or a Lender pursuant to Section 14.6 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all the forms and statements required pursuant to this Section 5.4(d),; provided that in the case of a Participant such Participant shall furnish all such required forms and statements to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased.

(e) Each Lender and Agent that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the laws of the jurisdiction in which any Borrower is organized, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement or any other Credit Document by such Borrower shall deliver to such Borrower (with a copy to the applicable Administrative Agent), as applicable, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law and as reasonably requested by such Borrower, as applicable, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without such withholding or at such reduced rate,; provided that such Lender or Agent is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and such documentation is necessary in order for such exemption or reduction to apply.

(f) If any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, determines, in its sole discretion, that it had received and retained a refund of an

-92-

Indemnified Tax or Other Tax for which a payment has been made by any Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, which refund in the good faith judgment of such Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, is attributable to such payment made by such Borrower, then the Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall reimburse such Borrower for such amount (together with any interest received thereon) as the Lender, Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, determines in its sole discretion to be the proportion of the refund as will leave it, after such reimbursement, in no better or worse position (taking into account expenses or any taxes imposed on the refund) than it would have been in if the payment had not been required; provided that such Borrower, upon the request of the Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in the event the Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. A Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall claim any refund that it determines is available to it, unless it concludes in its sole discretion that it would be adversely affected by making such a claim. Neither the Lender, the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be obliged to disclose any information regarding its tax affairs or computations to any Credit Party in connection with this clause (f) or any other provision of this Section 5.4.

(g) If the Parent Borrower determines that a reasonable basis exists for contesting a Tax, each Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers as the Parent Borrower may reasonably request in challenging such Tax. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.12, each Lender and Agent agrees to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers as the Parent Borrower may reasonably request to minimize any amount payable by any Borrower or Guarantor pursuant to this Section 5.4. The Borrowers shall indemnify and hold each Lender and Agent harmless against any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Person in connection with any request made by the Parent Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.4(g). Nothing in this Section 5.4(g) shall obligate any Lender or Agent to take any action that such Person, in its sole judgment, determines may result in a material detriment to such Person.

(c) Adjustment if Any Payment Exceeds Lawful Rate. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents would obligate any Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate that would be prohibited by any applicable law, rule or regulation, then notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid by such Borrower to the affected Lender under Section 2.8.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if any Lender shall have received from any Borrower an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by any applicable law, rule or regulation, then such Borrower shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent to obtain reimbursement from that Lender in an amount equal to such excess, and pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by that Lender to such Borrower.

-108-

Administrative Agent on or before the 60th calendar day after the Original Closing Date (or such later date as the Administration Agent may, in its sole reasonable discretion, consent to in writing)) (each a “Government Receivables Deposit Account”), (y) the Credit Parties will, or will cause each of their Subsidiaries to, establish lock boxes (“Lock Boxes”) or, at the Administrative Agent’s discretion, blocked accounts (“Blocked Accounts”) listed on Schedule 9.15(c) to the Original Credit Agreement (such schedule to be delivered to the Administrative Agent on or before the 60^th calendar day after the Original Closing Date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole reasonable discretion, consent to in writing)) at one or more banks that are reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent, and shall request in writing and otherwise take reasonable steps to provide that all Account Debtors with respect to Private Accounts that constitute Collateral forward payments directly to such Lock Boxes or Blocked Accounts and (z) each Borrower will deposit and cause its Subsidiaries to deposit or cause to be deposited promptly, and in any event no later than the first Business Day after the date of receipt thereof, all cash, checks, drafts or other similar items of payment relating to or constituting payments made in respect of any and all Collateral (whether or not otherwise delivered to a Lock Box) into the Blocked Accounts. Until so deposited, all such payments shall be held in trust by each Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries for the Administrative Agent and shall not be commingled with any other funds or property of any Borrower. Within 60 calendar days after the Original Closing Date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole reasonable discretion, consent to in writing), the Parent Borrower shall have established a concentration account in its name (the “Concentration Account”) (with a bank reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (it being agreed that ~~Wachovia Bank~~Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC is acceptable to the Administrative Agent)) that shall be designated as the Concentration Account for the Parent Borrower listed on Schedule 9.15(a) to the Original Credit Agreement.

(ii) The Parent Borrower may maintain, in its name, one or more accounts (any such account, a “Disbursement Account”) at any bank reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent into which the Administrative Agent shall, from time to time, deposit proceeds of Loans made to the Parent Borrower pursuant to Section 2.1 for use by the Parent Borrower solely in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.13 (it being understood that the Administrative Agent may also deposit or wire proceeds of Loans into any other account designated by the Parent Borrower at any time other than during the continuance of any Cash Dominion Event).

-109-

(iii) Within 60 calendar days after the Original Closing Date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, consent to in writing), each Borrower that owns or originates Government Accounts shall deliver to the Collateral Agent (x) for each Government Receivables Deposit Account established or maintained by such Borrower, a tri-party deposit account agreement between the Collateral Agent, the bank at which such Government Receivables Deposit Account (each a “Government Receivables Bank”) is maintained and such Borrower, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (each a “Government Receivables Deposit Account Agreement”), and (y) for the accounts of any Borrower designated as a Blocked Account on Schedule 9.15(c) to the Original Credit Agreement and for the Concentration Account and any Disbursement Accounts, a tri-party blocked account agreement or lockbox account agreement between the Collateral Agent, the bank at which each such Blocked Account, Concentration Account or Disbursement Account is maintained and the relevant Borrowers, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (each a “Blocked Account Agreement”). Each such Blocked Account Agreement with respect to any Blocked Account shall provide, among other things, that from and after the date thereof the bank at which any such Blocked Account is maintained, agrees to forward immediately all amounts in each such account to the Concentration Account. In addition, any such Blocked Account Agreement shall provide, among other things, that at all times following the establishment of the Cash Management Systems pursuant to this Section 9.15(a), upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Cash Dominion Event, the bank at which such Blocked Account, Concentration Account or Disbursement Account is maintained shall, upon receipt of notice by the Collateral Agent of such Cash Dominion Event, commence the process of daily sweeps from such accounts into the Collection Account (it being understood that any such daily sweep in respect of any cash or other amount in a Disbursement Account shall be subject to the rights of the Borrowers to transfer, apply or otherwise use the proceeds of any Loans hereunder for any purpose in accordance with Section 9.13 by moving any cash or other amount on deposit in any Disbursement Account out of such account for any such purpose); provided that any amounts in the Concentration Accounts reasonably identified (with reasonably detailed written support) to the Administrative Agent as not constituting Collateral will be distributed as directed by the Administrative Agent as requested by the Parent Borrower, including to one or more Non-Controlled Accounts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, no cash or other amount that is disbursed or otherwise transferred from the Disbursement Account (other than to the extent swept back into the Collection Account) shall constitute Collateral.

(iv) Following the establishment of the Cash Management Systems pursuant to Section 9.15(a), by 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on each Business Day, each Borrower will cause the entire available balance in each Government Receivables Deposit Account to be transferred by ACH or book entry transfer to the Concentration Account.

Prior to the occurrence of any first Cash Dominion Event, the balance from time to time standing

-110-

to the credit of the Concentration Account shall be distributed as directed by the Parent Borrower, including to one or more Non-Controlled Accounts. The Parent Borrower shall not, and shall not cause or permit any Subsidiary thereof to, accumulate or maintain cash (other than cash that is not proceeds of any Collateral) in disbursement accounts or payroll accounts as of any date of determination in excess of checks outstanding against such accounts as of the date and amounts necessary to meet minimum balance, near-term funding requirements or near-term operating requirements.

Each Borrower shall cease using any account to hold proceeds of Collateral promptly and in any event within 30 days (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole reasonable discretion, consent to in writing) following notice from the Administrative Agent to the Parent Borrower that the creditworthiness of the bank holding such account is no longer acceptable in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable credit judgment, or as promptly as practicable and in any event within 60 days (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole reasonable discretion, consent to in writing) following notice from the Administrative Agent to the Parent Borrower that the operating performance, funds transfer or availability procedures or performance with respect to accounts or lockboxes of the bank holding such account or Agent’s liability under any tri-party blocked account agreement with such bank is no longer acceptable in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable credit judgment.

(vi) The Government Receivables Deposit Accounts, the Concentration Account, the Blocked Accounts and the Disbursement Accounts (subject to the last two sentences of Section 9.15(a)(iii)) shall be cash collateral accounts, with all cash, checks and other similar items of payment in such accounts (to the extent constituting proceeds of Accounts otherwise constituting Collateral) securing payment of the Loans and all other Obligations, and in which the applicable Borrower shall have granted a Lien to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and Lenders, pursuant to the Security Agreement. The Borrowers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all cash, checks and other similar items of payment in the Government Receivables Deposit Accounts, the Concentration Account and the Blocked Accounts are solely in respect of Accounts that otherwise constitute Collateral; provided that, following the establishment of the Cash

-111-

Management Systems pursuant to Section 9.15(a), credit card, debit card and internet xxxx inquiry and payment system (IBIP) payments received in the Concentration Account that do not constitute proceeds of Accounts otherwise constituting Collateral shall be permitted in the Concentration Account so long as the Borrowers use their commercially reasonable efforts to distribute such amounts to a Non-Controlled Account within three (3) Business Days of receipt thereof.

(vii) All amounts deposited in the Collection Account shall be deemed received by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 5 and shall be applied (and allocated) by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 5. In no event shall any amount be so applied unless and until such amount shall have been credited in immediately available funds to the Collection Account.

(viii) The Borrowers shall and shall cause their respective Affiliates, officers, employees, agents, directors or other Persons acting for or in concert with a Borrower (each a “Related Person”) to (x) hold in trust for the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself and Lenders, all checks, cash and other items of payment received by a Borrower or by a Related Person on behalf of a Borrower in respect of Accounts that constitute Collateral, and (y) following the establishment of the Cash Management Systems pursuant to Section 9.15(a), within 1 Business Day after receipt by a Borrower or by a Related Person on behalf of a Borrower of any checks, cash or other items of payment in respect of Accounts that constitute Collateral, deposit the same into a Blocked Account or the Concentration Account. Each Borrower and each Related Person thereof acknowledges and agrees that all cash, checks or other items of payment constituting proceeds of Collateral are part of the Collateral. Following the establishment of the Cash Management Systems pursuant to Section 9.15(a), all proceeds of the sale or other disposition of any Collateral, shall be deposited directly into a Blocked Account or the Concentration Account (or if proceeds of Government Accounts, into a Government Receivables Deposit Account).

(b) (i) During the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event following the establishment of the Cash Management Systems pursuant to Section 9.15(a), the Borrowers shall provide the Collateral Agent with an accounting of the contents of the Government Receivables Deposit Accounts, the Blocked Accounts and the Concentration Account, which shall identify, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Collateral Agent, the proceeds from the Collateral which were deposited into a Blocked Account and swept to the Concentration Account.

-112-

In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.15, any Borrower receives or otherwise has dominion and control of any proceeds or collections of Accounts that otherwise constitute Collateral outside of the Government Receivables Deposit Accounts, the Concentration Account, any Blocked Account and any Disbursement Account, such proceeds and collections shall be held in trust by such Borrower for the Collateral Agent and shall, not later than the Business Day after receipt thereof, be deposited into the Concentration Account or dealt with in such other fashion as such Borrower may be instructed by the Collateral Agent.

(d) [Intentionally Omitted].

(e) (i) Annexed as Schedule 9.15(e) to the Original Credit Agreement (such schedule to be delivered to the Administrative Agent on or before the 60th calendar day after the Original Closing Date (or such later date as the Administration Agent may, in its sole reasonable discretion, consent to in writing)) is a list as of the date such Schedule is or was delivered, of all arrangements to which any Borrower is a party with respect to the payment to such Borrower of the proceeds of all credit card charges for services by such Borrower.

Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer and ~~Swing Line~~Swingline Lender, (b) the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer and ~~Swing Line~~Swingline Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents, and (c) the successor Letter of Credit Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

13.10. Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so) and/or the Borrowers fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent or a Borrower as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of pocket expenses.

(A) the Parent Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that, subject to clause (g) below, no consent of the Parent Borrower shall be required for ~~an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender (unless increased costs would result therefrom unless~~ if an Event of Default under Section 11.1 or Section 11.5 has occurred and is continuing), ~~an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default under Section 11.1 or Section 11.5 has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee~~; and

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement,; provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of

(C) The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment; and

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in a form approved by the Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Questionnaire”).

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to clause (b)(iv) of this Section 14.6, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.5, 5.4 and 14.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 14.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (c) of this Section 14.6.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans and any payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Further, each Register shall contain the name and address of the Administrative Agent and the lending office through which each such Person acts under this Agreement.

The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, the Collateral Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder),

-153-

the processing and recordation fee referred to in clause (b) of this Section 14.6 and any written consent to such assignment required by clause (b) of this Section 14.6, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of any Borrower, any Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it),; provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clause (i) of the proviso to Section 14.1 that affects such Participant. Subject to clause (c)(ii) of this Section 14.6, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 5.4 to the same extent as if it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the requirements of those Sections as though it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 14.6. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 14.8(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 14.8(a) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10, 2.11 or 5.4 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Parent Borrower’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(d) Any Lender may, without the consent of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 14.6 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest, provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. In order to facilitate such pledge or assignment, the Borrowers hereby agree that, upon request of any Lender at any time and from time to time after any Borrower has made its initial borrowing hereunder, each Borrower shall provide to such Lender, at such Borrower’s own expense, a promissory note, ~~substantially~~ in ~~the form of Exhibit K evidencing the New Revolving Credit Loans and~~

-154-

~~Swingline Loans, respectively,~~form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, representing the Loan owing to such Lender.

(e) Subject to Section 14.16, the Borrowers authorize each Lender to disclose to any Participant, secured creditor of such Lender or assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning a Borrower and its Affiliates that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of such Borrower and its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of such Borrower and its Affiliates in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of such Borrower and its Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.

(f) The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Acceptance shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clause (b) above, unless an Event of Default under Section 11.1 or Section 11.5 has occurred and is continuing, no assignment by any Lender of all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be permitted without the consent of the Parent Borrower if, after giving effect to such assignment, the assignee in respect thereof, taken together with its Affiliates and Approved Funds, would hold in the aggregate more than 25% of the Total New Revolving Exposure.

14.7. Replacements of Lenders under Certain Circumstances.

(a) The Borrowers shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.10, 3.5 or 5.4, (b) is affected in the manner described in Section 2.10(a)(iii) and as a result thereof any of the actions described in such Section is required to be taken or (c) becomes a Defaulting Lender, with a replacement bank or other financial institution, provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default under Section 11.1 or 11.5 shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) the Borrowers shall repay (or the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par) all Loans and other amounts (other than any disputed amounts), pursuant to Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.5 or 5.4, as the case may be) owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement, (iv) the replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender, and the terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (v) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.6 (provided that the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein) and (vi) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

-155-

(b) If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that pursuant to the terms of Section 14.1 requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected or the Supermajority Lenders and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then provided no Event of Default then exists, the Borrowers shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans, and its Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided that: (a) all Obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment, and (b) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. In connection with any such assignment, the Borrowers, Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 14.6.

14.8. Adjustments; Set-off.

(a) If any Lender (a “benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 11.5, or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans, or interest thereon, such benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loan, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(b) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, except as provided in the last sentence of this subclause (b), each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to any Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by any Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify such Borrower (and the Parent Borrower, if other) and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

14.17. Direct Website Communications.

(a) (i) Any Borrower may, at its option, provide to the Administrative Agent any information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Credit Documents, including, without limitation, all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (A) relates to a request for a new, or a conversion of an existing, borrowing or other extension of credit (including any election of an interest rate or interest period relating thereto), (B) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (C) provides notice of any default or event of default under this Agreement or (D) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any borrowing or other extension of credit thereunder (all such non-excluded communications being referred to herein collectively as “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent to the Administrative Agent at xxxxxxx.xxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx. Nothing in this Section 14.17 shall prejudice the right of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Credit Document in any other manner specified in such Credit Document.

~~(ii)~~ (ii)The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Credit Documents. Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Credit Documents. Each Lender agrees (A) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (B) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

(b) The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that (a) the Administrative Agent and/or the other Agents will make available to the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuer materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrowers hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrowers or their securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). Each Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that do not contain any material non-public information and that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (x) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof and (y) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Parent Borrower

-160-

shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the other Agents to make such Borrower Materials available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor”. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Parent Borrower nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable, or responsible in any manner, for the use by any Agent, any Lender, any Participant or any of their Related Parties of the Borrower Materials. In addition, it is agreed that (i) to the extent any Borrower Materials constitute Confidential Information, they shall be subject to the confidentiality provisions of Section 14.16 and (ii) the Borrowers shall be under no obligation to designate any Borrower Materials as “PUBLIC”.

(c) THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to any Borrower, any Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the internet, except to the extent the liability of any Agent Party resulted from such Agent Party’s (or any of its Related Parties’) gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or material breach of the Credit Documents.

14.18. USA Patriot Act. Each Lender 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 “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

14.19. Joint and Several Liability. All Loans, upon funding, shall be deemed to be jointly funded to and received by the Borrowers. Each Borrower is jointly and severally liable under this Agreement for all Obligations, regardless of the manner or amount in which proceeds of Loans are used, allocated, shared or disbursed by or among the Borrowers themselves, or the manner in which an Agent and/or any Lender accounts for such Loans or other extensions of credit on its books and records. Each Borrower shall be liable for all amounts due to an Agent and/or any Lender from the Borrowers under this Agreement, regardless of which Borrower actually receives Loans or other extensions of credit hereunder or the amount of such Loans and extensions of credit received or the manner in which such Agent and/or such Lender accounts for such Loans or other extensions of credit on its books and records. Each Borrower’s Obligations with respect to Loans and other extensions of credit made

-161-

to it, and such Borrower’s Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of such Borrower hereunder with respect to Loans made to the other Borrowers hereunder shall be separate and distinct obligations, but all such Obligations shall be primary obligations of such Borrower. The Borrowers acknowledge and expressly agree with the Agents and each Lender that the joint and several liability of each Borrower is required solely as a condition to, and is given solely as inducement for and in consideration of, credit or accommodations extended or to be extended under the Credit Documents to any or all of the other Borrowers and is not required or given as a condition of extensions of credit to such Borrower. Each Borrower’s Obligations under this Agreement shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be unconditional irrespective of (i) the validity or enforceability, avoidance, or subordination of the Obligations of any other Borrower or of any promissory note or other document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations of any other Borrower, (ii) the absence of any attempt to collect the Obligations from any other Borrower, or any other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to enforce the same, (iii) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance, or granting of any indulgence by an Agent and/or any Lender with respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing the Obligations of any other Borrower, or any part thereof, or any other agreement executed as of the Original Closing Date or thereafter executed by any other Borrower and delivered to an Agent and/or any Lender, (iv) the failure by an Agent and/or any Lender to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve its rights to, any security or collateral for the Obligations of any other Borrower, (v) an Agent’s and/or any Lender’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (vi) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, (vii) the disallowance of all or any portion of an Agent’s and/or any Lender’s claim(s) for the repayment of the Obligations of any other Borrower under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (viii) any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or of any other Borrower. With respect to any Borrower’s Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of the Borrowers hereunder with respect to New Revolving Credit Loans or other extensions of credit made to any of the other Borrowers hereunder, such Borrower waives, until the Obligations shall have been paid in full and this Agreement shall have been terminated, any right to enforce any right of subrogation or any remedy which an Agent and/or any Lender had as of the Original Closing Date or may have thereafter against any other Borrower, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations, and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to an Agent and/or any Lender to secure payment of the Obligations or any other liability of any Borrower to an Agent and/or any Lender. Upon any Event of Default, the Agents may proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any Borrower to collect and recover the full amount, or any portion of the Obligations, without first proceeding against any other Borrower or any other Person, or against any security or collateral for the Obligations. Each Borrower consents and agrees that the Agents shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Borrower or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, none of the foregoing provisions of this Section 14.19 shall apply to any Person released from its Obligations as a Borrower in accordance with Section 14.1.

14.20. Contribution and Indemnification Among the Borrowers. Each Borrower is obligated to repay the Obligations as a joint and several obligor under this Agreement. To the

-162-

extent that any Borrower shall, under this Agreement as a joint and several obligor, repay any of the Obligations constituting Loans made to another Borrower hereunder or other Obligations incurred directly and primarily by any other Borrower (an “Accommodation Payment”), then the Borrower making such Accommodation Payment shall be entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, each of the other Borrowers in an amount, for each of such other Borrowers, equal to a fraction of such Accommodation Payment, the numerator of which fraction is such other Borrower’s Allocable Amount (as defined below) and the denominator of which is the sum of the Allocable Amounts of all of the Borrowers. As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of each Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of liability for Accommodation Payments which could be asserted against such Borrower hereunder without (a) rendering such Borrower “insolvent” within the meaning of Section 101(31) of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (“UFTA”) or Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act (“UFCA”), (b) leaving such Borrower with unreasonably small capital or assets, within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA, or (c) leaving such Borrower unable to pay its debts as they become due within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA. All rights and claims of contribution, indemnification, and reimbursement under this Section 14.20 shall be subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Obligations. The provisions of this Section 14.20 shall, to the extent expressly inconsistent with any provision in any Credit Document, supersede such inconsistent provision.

14.21. Agency of the Parent Borrower for Each Other Borrower. Each of the other Borrowers irrevocably appoints the Parent Borrower as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement, including the giving and receipt of notices and execution and delivery of all documents, instruments, and certificates contemplated herein (including, without limitation, execution and delivery to the Agents of Borrowing Base Certificates, Borrowing Requests and Notices of Conversion or Continuation) and all modifications hereto. Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification, or other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken by all or any of the Borrowers or acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given or taken only by the Parent Borrower, whether or not any of the other Borrowers join therein, and the Agents and the Lenders shall have no duty or obligation to make further inquiry with respect to the authority of the Parent Borrower under this Section 14.21; provided that nothing in this Section 14.21 shall limit the effectiveness of, or the right of the Agents and the Lenders to rely upon, any notice (including without limitation a Borrowing Request or Notices of Conversion or Continuation), document, instrument, certificate, acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or other action delivered by any Borrower pursuant to this Agreement.

14.22. Reinstatement. This Agreement shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary Borrower, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

-163-

14.23. Express Waivers by Borrowers in Respect of Cross Guaranties and Cross Collateralization. Each Borrower agrees as follows:

(a) Each Borrower hereby waives: (i) notice of acceptance of this Agreement; (ii) notice of the making of any Loans, the issuance of any Letter of Credit or any other financial accommodations made or extended under the Credit Documents or the creation or existence of any Obligations; (iii) notice of the amount of the Obligations, subject, however, to such Borrower’s right to make inquiry of the Administrative Agent to ascertain the amount of the Obligations at any reasonable time; (iv) notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of any other Borrower or of any other fact that might increase such Borrower’s risk with respect to such other Borrower under the Credit Documents; (v) notice of presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notice thereof as to any promissory notes or other instruments among the Credit Documents; and (vii) all other notices (except if such notice is specifically required to be given to such Borrower hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents to which such Borrower is a party) and demands to which such Borrower might otherwise be entitled;

(b) Each Borrower hereby waives the right by statute or otherwise to require an Agent or any Lender to institute suit against any other Borrower or to exhaust any rights and remedies which an Agent or any Lender has or may have against any other Borrower. Each Borrower further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any other Borrower (other than the defense of payment in full) or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any such Borrower in respect thereof.

(c) Each Borrower hereby waives and agrees not to assert against any Agent, any Lender, or any Letter of Credit Issuer: (i) any defense (legal or equitable) other than a defense of payment, set-off, counterclaim, or claim which such Borrower may have had as of the Original Closing Date or may have at any time thereafter against any other Borrower or any other party liable under the Loan Documents; (ii) any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim of any kind or nature available to any other Borrower (other than a defense of payment) against any Agent, any Lender, or any Letter of Credit Issuer, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Obligations or any security therefor; (iii) any right or defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by any Agent, any Lender, or any Letter of Credit Issuer under any applicable law; (iv) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting any other Borrower’s liability hereunder;

(d) Each Borrower consents and agrees that, without notice to or by such Borrower and without affecting or impairing the obligations of such Borrower hereunder, the Agents may (subject to any requirement for consent of any of the Lenders to the extent required by this Agreement), by action or inaction: (i) compromise, settle, extend the duration or the time for the payment of, or discharge the performance of, or may refuse to or otherwise not enforce the Letter of Credit Issuer documents; (ii) release all or any one or more parties to any one or more of the Letter of Credit Issuer documents or grant other indulgences to any other Borrower in respect thereof; (iii) amend or modify in any manner and at any time (or from time to time) any of the Letter of Credit Issuer documents; or (iv) release or substitute any Person liable for

-164-

payment of the Obligations, or enforce, exchange, release, or waive any security for the Obligations;

(e) Each Borrower represents and warrants to the Agents and the Lenders that such Borrower is currently informed of the financial condition of all other Borrowers and all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Each Borrower further represents and warrants that such Borrower has read and understands the terms and conditions of the Credit Documents. Each Borrower agrees that neither the Agents, any Lender, nor any Letter of Credit Issuer has any responsibility to inform any Borrower of the financial condition of any other Borrower or of any other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Obligations.
