NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements, provisions and covenants herein contained, Company, Lenders and Administrative Agent agree as follows:

SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS

1.1 Certain Defined Terms. The following terms used in this Agreement shall have the following meanings:

“Acquisition” means the acquisition by Company or any of its Subsidiaries (by purchase or otherwise) of all or substantially all of the business, property or fixed assets of, or the stock or other evidence of beneficial ownership of, any Person or any division, business unit or line of business of any Person.

“Additional Collateral Documents” has the meaning assigned to that term in Section 6.7B.

“Administrative Agent” has the meaning assigned to such term in the introduction to this Agreement and also means and includes any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to Section 9.9. In addition, for purposes of Sections 9, 10.2, 10.6, 10.7, 10.9 and 10.10, the reference to “Administrative Agent” shall also be deemed to be a reference to “Collateral Agent,” and for purposes of other provisions of this Agreement relating to Collateral Documents (other than the Collateral Account Agreement), the Collateral covered thereby and the Liens granted thereon, the reference to “Administrative Agent” shall be deemed to be a reference to “Collateral Agent,” in each case as the context may appear.

“Affected Lender” has the meaning assigned to that term in Section 2.6B.

“Affiliate”, as applied to any Person, means any other Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, that Person. For the purposes of this definition, “control” (including, with correlative meanings, the terms “controlling”, “controlled by” and “under common control with”), as applied to any Person, means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to (i) vote 10% or more of the Voting Stock of such Person or (ii) direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of that Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities or by contract or otherwise.

“Agents” means, collectively, Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent.

“Agreement” means this Credit Agreement dated as of December 1, 2009, as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.

“Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage” means, as at any date of determination, a rate per annum equal to 0.50%.

“Applicable Increased Revolving Loan Spread” means, at any time, with respect to all Revolving Loans following the date of the addition of any Incremental RL Commitments pursuant to Section 2.12 which are subject to Applicable Margins that are greater than the Applicable Margins applicable to the Revolving Loans prior to such Incremental RL Commitments, the Applicable Margins applicable to all Revolving Loans shall be increased to such greater Applicable Margins.

“Applicable Increased Term Loan Spread” means, at any time, with respect to any then existing Tranche of Term Loans at the time of the provision of any new Tranche of Incremental Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11 which is subject to an “effective interest rate margin” that is less than the “effective interest rate margin” applicable to such new Tranche of Incremental Term Loans by more than 0.50%, the margin per annum (expressed as a percentage) determined by Administrative Agent (and notified to the Lenders) as the margin per annum required to cause the “effective interest rate margin” applicable to such then existing Tranche of Term Loans to equal (i) the “effective interest rate margin” applicable to such newly created Tranche of Incremental Term Loans minus (ii) 0.50%. Each determination of the “Applicable Increased Term Loan Spread” shall be made by Administrative Agent taking into account the relevant factors outlined in the proviso to subclause (III) of clause (vii) of Section 2.11A and shall be conclusive and binding on all Lenders absent manifest error.

“Applicable Leverage Ratio” means, with respect to any date of determination, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio set forth in the Pricing Certificate (as defined below) in effect for the Pricing Period (as defined below) in which such date of determination occurs. For purposes of this definition, (i) “Pricing Certificate” means an Officer’s Certificate of Company certifying as to the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the last day of any Fiscal Quarter and setting forth the calculation of such Consolidated Leverage Ratio in reasonable detail, which Officer’s Certificate may be delivered to Administrative Agent at any time on or after the date of delivery by Company of the Compliance Certificate (the “Related Compliance Certificate”) with respect to the period ending on the last day of such Fiscal Quarter pursuant to Section 6.1(iii), and (ii) “Pricing Period” means each period commencing on the first Business Day after the delivery to Administrative Agent of a Pricing Certificate and ending on the day immediately preceding the day on which the next succeeding Pricing Period commences; provided that anything contained in this definition to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) the first Pricing Period shall commence no earlier than the date on which Company delivers a Compliance Certificate in respect of the Fiscal Quarter ending June 30, 2010, and the Pricing Certificate in respect of the first Pricing Period may be delivered at any time on or after such date and shall relate to the most recent financial statements delivered by Company to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.1(i), (b) the Applicable Leverage Ratio for the period from the Closing Date to but excluding the date of commencement of the first Pricing Period shall be deemed to be greater than or equal to 2.75:1.00 and less than or equal to 4.25:1.00, and (c) in the event that, after the commencement of the first Pricing Period, (X) Company fails to deliver a Pricing Certificate to Administrative Agent setting forth the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the last day of any Fiscal Quarter on or before the last day (the “Cutoff Date”) on which Company is required to deliver the Related Compliance Certificate and (Y) Administrative Agent determines (each such

determination being an “Agent Determination”) on or after the Cutoff Date (on the basis of the Related Compliance Certificate or a Pricing Certificate delivered after the Cutoff Date) that the Applicable Leverage Ratio that would have been in effect if Company had delivered a Pricing Certificate on the Cutoff Date is greater than the Consolidated Leverage Ratio set forth in the most recent Pricing Certificate actually delivered by Company, then (1) the Applicable Leverage Ratio in effect for the period from the Cutoff Date to the date of delivery by Company of the next Pricing Certificate (or, if earlier, the next date on which an Agent Determination is made) shall be the Consolidated Leverage Ratio determined pursuant to the Agent Determination and (2) on the first Business Day after Administrative Agent delivers written notice to Company of any Agent Determination, Company shall pay to Administrative Agent, for distribution (as appropriate) to Lenders, an aggregate amount equal to the additional interest and letter of credit fees Company would have been required to pay in respect of all Loans or Letters of Credit in respect of which any interest or Fees have been paid by Company during the period from the Cutoff Date to the date such notice is given by Administrative Agent to Company if the amount of such interest and fees had been calculated using the Applicable Leverage Ratio based on such Agent Determination.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this definition or elsewhere in this Agreement, if it is subsequently determined that the Consolidated Leverage Ratio set forth in any Pricing Certificate delivered for any period is inaccurate for any reason and the result thereof is that the Lenders received interest for any period based on an Applicable Revolving LIBOR Margin or an Applicable Revolving Base Rate Margin that is less than that which would have been applicable had the Consolidated Leverage Ratio been accurately determined, then, for all purposes of this Agreement, the “Applicable Revolving LIBOR Margin” and the “Applicable Revolving Base Rate Margin” for any day occurring within the period covered by such Pricing Certificate shall retroactively be deemed to be the relevant percentage as based upon the accurately determined Consolidated Leverage Ratio for such period, and any shortfall in the interest theretofore paid by Company for the relevant period pursuant to Sections 2.2A(ii)(a) and 2.2A(ii)(b) as a result of the miscalculation of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio shall be deemed to be (and shall be) due and payable under the relevant provisions of Section 2.2A(ii)(a) or 2.2A(ii)(b), as applicable, at the time the interest or fees for such period were required to be paid pursuant to said Section on the same basis as if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio had been accurately set forth in such Pricing Certificate (and shall remain due and payable until paid in full, together with all amounts owing under Section 2.2E, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement).

“Applicable Margins” means the Applicable Revolving Base Rate Margin, the Applicable Revolving LIBOR Margin, the Applicable Term Loan Base Rate Margin and the Applicable Term Loan LIBOR Margin.

“Applicable Revolving Base Rate Margin” means, with respect to any date of determination, a rate per annum equal to the percentage set forth below opposite the Applicable Leverage Ratio in effect as of such date of determination, any change in any such Applicable Revolving Base Rate Margin to be effective on the date of any corresponding change in the Applicable Leverage Ratio:

“Applicable Revolving LIBOR Margin” means, as at any date of determination, a rate per annum equal to the percentage set forth below opposite the Applicable Leverage Ratio in effect as of such date of determination, any change in any such Applicable Revolving LIBOR Margin to be effective on the date of any corresponding change in the Applicable Leverage Ratio:

Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Swing Line Loans and the Swing Line Loan Commitment shall be subject to the limitation that in no event shall the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments at any time exceed the Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect.

With respect to any Swing Line Loans which have not been voluntarily prepaid by Company pursuant to Section 2.4B(i), Swing Line Lender may, at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, deliver to Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (with a copy to Company), no later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the first Business Day in advance of the proposed Funding Date, a notice (which shall be deemed to be a Notice of Borrowing given by Company and shall be deemed given on Friday of each week regardless of whether an actual Notice of Borrowing is so delivered) requesting Lenders to make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans on such Funding Date in an amount equal to the amount of such Swing Line Loans (the “Refunded Swing Line Loans”) outstanding on the date such notice is given which Swing Line Lender requests Lenders to prepay. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by Lenders other than Swing Line Lender shall be immediately delivered by Administrative Agent to Swing Line Lender (and not to Company) and applied to repay a corresponding portion of the Refunded Swing Line Loans and (ii) on the day such Revolving Loans are made, Swing Line Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Refunded Swing Line Loans shall be deemed to be paid with the proceeds of a Revolving Loan made by Swing Line Lender, and such portion of the Swing Line Loans deemed to be so paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swing Line Loans and shall no longer be due under the Swing Line Note, if any, of Swing Line Lender but shall instead constitute part of Swing Line Lender’s outstanding Revolving Loans and shall be due under the Revolving Note, if any, of Swing Line Lender. If any portion of any such amount paid (or deemed to be paid) to Swing Line Lender should be recovered by or on behalf of Company from Swing Line Lender in bankruptcy, by assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all Lenders in the manner contemplated by Section 10.5.

If for any reason the Revolving Loan Commitments are terminated at a time when any Swing Line Loans are outstanding, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby agrees to, have purchased a participation in such outstanding Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share (calculated immediately prior to such termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments) of the unpaid amount of such Swing Line Loans together with accrued interest thereon. Upon one Business Day’s notice from Swing Line Lender, each Lender shall deliver to Swing Line Lender an amount equal to its respective participation in same day funds at the Funding and Payment Office. In order to further evidence such participation (and without prejudice to the effectiveness of the participation provisions set forth above), each Lender agrees to enter into a separate participation agreement at the request of Swing Line Lender in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Lender and Swing Line Lender. In the event any Lender fails to make available to Swing Line Lender the amount of such Lender’s participation as provided in this paragraph, Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. In the event Swing Line Lender receives a payment of any amount in which other Lenders have purchased participations as provided in this paragraph, Swing Line Lender shall promptly distribute to each such other Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment.

Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans for the purpose of repaying any Refunded Swing Line Loans pursuant to the second preceding paragraph and each Lender’s obligation to purchase a participation in any unpaid Swing Line Loans pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (a) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against Swing Line Lender, Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (b) the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default; (c) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (d) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party thereto; or (e) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.1A(iii), (a) Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loans at a time when a Funding Default exists with respect to Lender having a Revolving Loan Commitment unless Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and Company to eliminate the Swing Line Lender’s risk with respect to each Defaulting Lender’s participation in such Swing Line Loans (which arrangements are hereby consented to by the Lenders), including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Swing Line Loans (such arrangements, the “Swing Line Back-Stop Arrangements”), and (b) Swing Line Lender shall not make any Swing Line Loan after it has received written notice from Company, any other Loan Party or the Requisite Lenders stating that a Potential Event of Default or an Event of Default exists and is continuing until such time as the Swing Line Lender shall have received written notice (X) of rescission of all such notices from the party or parties originally delivering such notice or notices or (Y) of the waiver of such Potential Event of Default or Event of Default by the Requisite Lenders.

(iv) Incremental Term Loans. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender with an Incremental Term Loan Commitment for a given Tranche of Incremental Term Loans severally agrees to make a term loan or term loans (each, an “Incremental Term Loan” and, collectively, the “Incremental Term Loans”) to Company, which Incremental Term Loans (i) shall be incurred pursuant to a single drawing on the respective Incremental Term Loan Funding Date, (ii) shall be denominated in Dollars, (iii) except as hereinafter provided, shall, at the option of Company, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans, and (iv) shall not exceed for any such Incremental Term Loan Lender at any time of any incurrence thereof, the Incremental Term Loan Commitment of such Incremental Term Loan Lender for such Tranche on the respective Incremental Term Loan Funding Date. Once repaid, Incremental Term Loans may not be reborrowed. The Incremental Term Loan Commitments under a given Tranche (and the Incremental Term Loan Commitment of each Lender in respect of such Tranche) shall terminate in its entirety on the Incremental Term Loan Funding Date for such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans (after giving effect to the incurrence of the Incremental Term Loans of such Tranche on such date).

B. Borrowing Mechanics. Term Loans under a respective Tranche made on any Funding Date as Base Rate Loans or as LIBOR Loans with a particular Interest Period shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount. Revolving Loans (other than Revolving Loans made pursuant to a request by Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.1A(iii) for the purpose of repaying any Refunded Swing Line Loans) made on any Funding Date shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount. Swing Line Loans made on any Funding Date shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount. Whenever Company desires that Lenders make Term Loans (whether Initial Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans) or Revolving Loans (excluding Refunded Swing Line Loans) to Company it shall deliver to Administrative Agent at the Notice Office a Notice of Borrowing no later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed Funding Date (in the case of a LIBOR Loan) or at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed Funding Date (in the case of a Base Rate Loan). Whenever Company desires that Swing Line Lender make a Swing Line Loan, it shall deliver to Administrative Agent at the Notice Office a Notice of Borrowing no later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the proposed Funding Date. The Notice of Borrowing shall specify (i) the proposed Funding Date (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the amount of such borrowing requested and whether the respective borrowing shall consist of Initial Term Loans, Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans or Incremental Term Loans, and if Incremental Term Loans, the specific Tranche thereof, (iii) in the case of Swing Line Loans and any Loans made on the Closing Date, that such Loans shall be Base Rate Loans, (iv) in the case of Revolving Loans not made on the Closing Date, whether such Loans shall be Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans, and (v) in the case of any Loans requested to be made as LIBOR Loans, the initial Interest Period requested therefor. Term Loans and Revolving Loans may be continued as or converted into Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans in the manner provided in Section 2.2D; provided that unless Administrative Agent has otherwise agreed or has determined that the Syndication Date has occurred (at which time this proviso shall no longer be applicable), LIBOR Loans may only have an Interest Period of one month, and the first Funding Date with respect to Loans maintained as LIBOR Loans may occur no earlier than three Business Days following the Closing Date, with all subsequent Funding Dates with respect to Loans maintained as LIBOR Loans to occur on the last day of the preceding one month Interest Period theretofore in effect. In lieu of delivering the above-described Notice of Borrowing, Company may give Administrative Agent telephonic notice of the required time of any borrowing under this Section 2.1B; provided that such notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of a Notice of Borrowing to Administrative Agent on or before the applicable Funding Date. Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender which is required to make Loans of the Tranche specified in the respective Notice of Borrowing, written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each proposed borrowing, of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters required by this Section 2.1B to be specified in the Notice of Borrowing.

Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to Company in acting upon any telephonic notice referred to above that Administrative Agent believes in good faith to have been given by a duly authorized officer or other person authorized to borrow on behalf of Company or for otherwise acting in good faith under this Section 2.1B, and upon funding of Loans by Lenders in accordance with this Agreement pursuant to any such telephonic notice Company shall have effected Loans hereunder.

Company shall notify Administrative Agent prior to the funding of any Loans in the event that any of the matters to which Company is required to certify in the applicable Notice of Borrowing is no longer true and correct as of the applicable Funding Date, and the acceptance by Company of the proceeds of any Loans shall constitute a re-certification by Company, as of the applicable Funding Date, as to matters to which Company is required to certify in the applicable Notice of Borrowing.

C. Disbursement of Funds. All Term Loans, Revolving Loans and Incremental Term Loans under this Agreement shall be made by Lenders with a Commitment under the respective Tranche of Loan simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder nor shall the Commitment of any Lender to make the particular Tranche of Loan requested be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder. Promptly after receipt by Administrative Agent of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.1B (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof), Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, of the proposed borrowing. Each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to Administrative Agent in Dollars not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the applicable Funding Date, and Swing Line Lender shall make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the applicable Funding Date, in each case in same day funds in Dollars, at the Funding and Payment Office for such Loans. Except as provided in Section 2.1A(iii) with respect to Revolving Loans used to repay Refunded Swing Line Loans, upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified in Sections 4.1 (in the case of Loans made on the Closing Date) and 4.2 (in the case of all Loans), Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Loans available to Company on the applicable Funding Date by causing an amount of same day funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of all such Loans received by Administrative Agent from Lenders or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, to be credited to the account of Company at the Funding and Payment Office for such Loans; provided that if, on any Funding Date of Revolving Loans (other than a Refunded Swing Line Loans), there are Unpaid Drawings or Swing Line Loans then outstanding, then the proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be applied, first, to the payment in full of any such Unpaid Drawings with respect to Letters of Credit, second, to the payment in full of any such Swing Line Loans, and third, to Company as otherwise provided above.

Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the Funding Date for any Loans that such Lender does not intend to make available to Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s Loan requested on such Funding Date, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Administrative Agent on such Funding Date and Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, make available to Company a corresponding amount in Dollars on such Funding Date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Administrative Agent by such Lender, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from such Funding Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent in Dollars, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Company, and Company shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, all in Dollars, for each day from such Funding Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the rate payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans. Nothing in this Section 2.1C shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Company may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

D. The Register.

(i) Company hereby designates Administrative Agent to serve as its agent, solely for the purposes of this Section 2.1D, to maintain, at its address referred to in Section 10.7, a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and the Commitments and Loans (whether or not separately evidenced by one or more Notes) of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The Register shall be available for inspection by Company or any Lender (in the case of any such Lender, only in respect of its Commitments and Obligations) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(ii) Administrative Agent shall record in the Register the Initial Term Loan Commitment and Revolving Loan Commitment and the Initial Term Loans and Revolving Loans from time to time of each Lender, the Swing Line Loan Commitment and the Swing Line Loans from time to time of Swing Line Lender, the Incremental Term Loan Commitment and Incremental Term Loans from time to time of each Incremental Term Loan Lender, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Term Loans or Revolving Loans of each Lender, the Swing Line Loans of Swing Line Lender or the Incremental Term Loans of each Incremental Term Loan Lender. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Company and each Lender, absent clearly demonstrable error; provided that failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Commitments or Company’s Obligations in respect of any applicable Loans.

(iii) Each Lender shall record on its internal records (including any Notes held by such Lender) the amount of each Term Loan, Revolving Loan and Incremental Term Loan (if any) made by it and each payment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Company, absent clearly demonstrable error; provided that failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Commitments or Company’s Obligations in respect of any applicable Loans; and provided, further that in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern.

(iv) Company, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the corresponding Commitments and Loans listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Commitment or the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan shall be effective, in each case unless and until an Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment or transfer thereof shall have

been accepted by Administrative Agent and recorded in the Register as provided in Section 10.1B. Prior to such recordation, all amounts owed with respect to the applicable Commitment or Loan shall be owed to the Lender listed in the Register as the owner thereof, and any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Commitments or Loans. Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment Agreement to Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Note (if any) evidencing such Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender at the request of any such Lender.

(v) Company hereby designates Administrative Agent to serve as its agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2.1D, and Company hereby agrees that, to the extent Administrative Agent serves in such capacity, Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents and Affiliates shall constitute Indemnified Persons for all purposes under Section 10.2.

E. Optional Notes. Upon the request of any Lender made through Administrative Agent at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date or at any time after the Closing Date, Company shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 10.1) on the Closing Date (or, if such notice is delivered after the Closing Date, promptly after Company’s receipt of such notice) a promissory note or promissory notes to evidence such Lender’s Initial Term Loans, Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans or Incremental Term Loans, as the case may be, substantially in the form of Exhibit IV, Exhibit V, Exhibit VI or Exhibit VII annexed hereto, respectively, with appropriate insertions.

2.2 Interest on the Loans.

A. Rate of Interest. Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.6 and 2.7, each Term Loan and each Revolving Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made to maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Loan at a rate determined by reference to the Base Rate or LIBOR. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.7, each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate determined by reference to the Base Rate. The applicable basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Initial Term Loan, any Revolving Loan or any Incremental Term Loan shall be selected by Company initially at the time a Notice of Borrowing is given with respect to such Loan pursuant to Section 2.1B, and the basis for determining the interest rate with respect to any Initial Term Loan, any Revolving Loan or any Incremental Term Loan may be changed from time to time pursuant to Section 2.2D. Subject to the last proviso to the first paragraph of Section 2.2D, if on any day an Initial Term Loan, Revolving Loan or Incremental Term Loan is outstanding with respect to which notice has not been delivered to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then for that day that Loan shall bear interest determined by reference to the Base Rate.

(i) Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.2E and 2.7, the Term Loans shall bear interest through maturity, as follows:

(a) if a Base Rate Loan, then at a rate per annum which shall at all times be equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the relevant Applicable Term Loan Base Rate Margin for the relevant Tranche of Term Loan, each as in effect from time to time; or

(b) if a LIBOR Loan, then at a rate per annum which shall at all times, during the Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of LIBOR applicable to such Interest Period plus the relevant Applicable Term Loan LIBOR Margin for the relevant Tranche of Term Loan.

(ii) Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.2E and 2.7, the Revolving Loans shall bear interest through maturity as follows:

(a) if a Base Rate Loan, then at a rate per annum which shall at all times be equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Revolving Base Rate Margin; or

(b) if a LIBOR Loan, then at a rate per annum which shall at all times, during the Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of LIBOR applicable to such Interest Period plus the Applicable Revolving LIBOR Margin.

(iii) Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.2E and 2.7, the Swing Line Loans shall bear interest through maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Revolving Base Rate Margin minus the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage.

B. Interest Periods. In connection with each LIBOR Loan, Company may, pursuant to the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, as the case may be, select an interest period (each an “Interest Period”) to be applicable to such Loan, which Interest Period shall be, at Company’s option, either a one, two, three or six month period or, with respect to the Loans of any Tranche, to the extent approved by each Lender with outstanding Loans and/or Commitments under such Tranche, a nine or twelve month period (or such other periods less than one month agreed to by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion); provided that:

(i) the initial Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan shall commence on the Funding Date in respect of such Loan, in the case of a Loan initially made as a LIBOR Loan, or on the date specified in the applicable Notice of Conversion/Continuation, in the case of a Loan converted to a LIBOR Loan;

(ii) in the case of immediately successive Interest Periods applicable to a LIBOR Loan continued as such pursuant to a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, each successive Interest Period shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;

(iii) if an 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 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;

(iv) any Interest Period that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period) shall, subject to clauses (v) and (vi) of this Section 2.2B, end on the last Business Day of a calendar month;

(v) no Interest Period with respect to any portion of Initial Term Loans shall extend beyond the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date, no Interest Period with respect to any portion of the Revolving Loans shall extend beyond the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, and no Interest Period with respect to any portion of Incremental Term Loans shall extend beyond the respective Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date;

(vi) no Interest Period with respect to any portion of any Tranche of Term Loans shall extend beyond a date on which Company is required to make a Scheduled Repayment of principal of the respective Tranche of Term Loans, unless the sum of (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Tranche of Term Loans that are Base Rate Loans plus (b) the aggregate principal amount of such Tranche of Term Loans that are LIBOR Loans with Interest Periods expiring on or before such date equals or exceeds the aggregate principal amount required to be paid in respect of such Tranche of the Term Loans on such date;

(vii) there shall be no more than 15 Interest Periods outstanding at any time (20 if any Incremental Term Loans are outstanding at such time); and

(viii) in the event Company fails to specify an Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan in the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Company shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month.

C. Interest Payments. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.2E, interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on and to each Interest Payment Date applicable to that Loan, upon any prepayment of that Loan (to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid) and at maturity (including final maturity); provided that in the event any Swing Line Loans or any Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans are prepaid pursuant to Section 2.4B, interest accrued on such Swing Line Loans or Revolving Loans through the date of such prepayment shall be payable on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date applicable to Base Rate Loans (or, if earlier, at final maturity).

D. Conversion or Continuation. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.6, (i) Company shall have the option to convert on any Business Day all or any part of its outstanding Term Loans or Revolving Loans under a single Tranche equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount from Loans bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to one basis to Loans bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to an alternative basis and (ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a LIBOR Loan, Company shall have the option to continue as a LIBOR Loan all or any portion of such Loan equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount; provided, however, that if, upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any LIBOR Loan, Company shall have failed to give a Notice of Conversion/Continuation with respect to such LIBOR Loan in accordance with this Section 2.2D, Company shall be deemed to have given a timely Notice of Conversion/Continuation electing to continue such LIBOR Loan as a LIBOR Loan with an Interest Period of one month; and provided, further, no partial conversion of a borrowing of LIBOR Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to such borrowing to less than $5,000,000. Borrowings of LIBOR Loans resulting from this Section 2.2D shall be limited in number as provided in Section 2.1B.

Company shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to Administrative Agent at the Notice Office no later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed conversion date (in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan) and at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date (in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a LIBOR Loan). A Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall specify (i) the proposed conversion/continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the amount and type of the Loan to be converted/continued, (iii) the nature of the proposed conversion/continuation, (iv) in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a LIBOR Loan, the requested Interest Period, and (v) in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a LIBOR Loan, that no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. In lieu of delivering the above-described Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Company may give Administrative Agent telephonic notice by the required time of any proposed conversion/continuation under this Section 2.2D; provided that such notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to Administrative Agent on or before the proposed conversion/continuation date. Upon receipt of written or telephonic notice of any proposed conversion/continuation under this Section 2.2D, Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit such notice by telefacsimile or telephone to each Lender.

Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to Company in acting upon any telephonic notice referred to above that Administrative Agent believes in good faith to have been given by a duly authorized officer or other person authorized to act on behalf of Company or for otherwise acting in good faith under this Section 2.2D, and upon conversion or continuation of the applicable basis for determining the interest rate with respect to any Loans in accordance with this Agreement pursuant to any such telephonic notice Company shall have effected a conversion or continuation, as the case may be, hereunder.

Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.6B, 2.6C and 2.6F, a Notice of Conversion/Continuation for conversion to, or continuation of, a LIBOR Loan (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and Company shall be bound to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance therewith.

E. Default Interest. Any principal payments on the Loans not paid when due and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on the Loans, the Notes, the Unpaid Drawings, or any Fees or other amounts owed hereunder not paid when due, in each case whether at stated maturity, by notice of prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise, shall thereafter bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable bankruptcy laws) payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (x) the rate which is 2.00% in excess of the rate then borne by such Loans and (y) the rate which is 2.00% in excess of the rate otherwise payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans of the respective Tranche from time to time. Interest that accrues under this Section 2.2E shall be payable on demand. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.2E is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Administrative Agent or any Lender.

F. Computation of Interest. Interest on the Loans shall be computed (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to the Prime Rate, on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as the case may be, and (ii) in the case of LIBOR Loans and Base Rate Loans bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to the Federal Funds Effective Rate or LIBOR, on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted from a LIBOR Loan, the date of conversion of such LIBOR Loan to such Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a LIBOR Loan, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such LIBOR Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided that if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan.

2.3 Fees.

A. Commitment Fees. Company agrees to pay to Administrative Agent, for distribution to each Non-Defaulting Lender having a Revolving Loan Commitment in proportion to that Lender’s Pro Rata Share, a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) for the period from and including the Closing Date to and excluding the Revolving Loan Maturity Date equal to the daily excess of the Revolving Loan Commitments over the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Usage (but not any outstanding Swing Line Loans) multiplied by the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage, such Commitment Fee to be payable quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

B. Company agrees to pay to Administrative Agent for distribution to each Non-Defaulting Lender having a Revolving Loan Commitment (based on each such Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share) a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Revolving LIBOR Margin as in effect from time to time during such period on the daily Stated Amount of each such Letter of Credit. Accrued Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year and on the first day on or after the termination of the Revolving Loan Commitment upon which no Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

C. Company agrees to pay to each Issuing Lender, for its own account, a facing fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by it (the “Facing Fee”) for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to 1/4 of 1% on the daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit, provided that in any event the minimum amount of Facing Fees payable in any twelve-month period for each Letter of Credit shall be not less than $500, it being agreed that, on the day of issuance of any Letter of Credit and on each anniversary thereof prior to the termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, if $500 will exceed the amount of Facing Fees that will accrue with respect to such Letter of Credit for the immediately succeeding twelve-month period, the full $500 shall be payable on the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit and on each such anniversary thereof. Except as otherwise provided in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, accrued Facing Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year and upon the first day on or after the termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments upon which no Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

D. Other Letter of Credit Fees. Company agrees, with respect to the issuance, amendment or transfer of each Letter of Credit and each payment of a drawing made thereunder, to pay customary documentary and processing charges payable directly to the applicable Issuing Lender for its own account in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s standard schedule for such charges in effect at the time of such issuance, amendment, transfer or payment, as the case may be.

B. Prepayments and Reductions in Revolving Loan Commitments.

(i) Voluntary Prepayments. Company may, upon written or telephonic notice to Administrative Agent at the Notice Office at or prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of prepayment, which notice, if telephonic, shall be promptly confirmed in writing, at any time and from time to time prepay any Swing Line Loan on any Business Day in whole or in part in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount. Company may, upon not less than one Business Day’s prior written or telephonic notice, in the case of Base Rate Loans, and three Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice, in the case of LIBOR Loans, in each case given to Administrative Agent by 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date required and, if given by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing to Administrative Agent (which original written or telephonic notice Administrative Agent will promptly transmit by telefacsimile or telephone to each Lender), at any time and from time to time prepay any Initial Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Incremental Term Loans under a given Tranche on any Business Day in whole or in part in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount (other than any such prepayment with proceeds received by Company in connection with its exercise of the Cure Right); provided that a LIBOR Loan may only be prepaid on the expiration of the Interest Period applicable thereto unless Company pays all amounts owing to Lenders under Section 2.6D. Notice of prepayment having been given as aforesaid, the principal amount of the Loans specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified therein; provided that a notice of prepayment in respect of all outstanding Loans delivered by Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by Company (by notice to Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any such voluntary prepayment shall be applied as specified in Section 2.4B(iv).

(ii) Voluntary Reductions of Revolving Loan Commitments. Company may, upon not less than three Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice confirmed in writing to Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice Administrative Agent will promptly transmit to each Lender), at any time and from time to time terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part, without premium or penalty, the Revolving Loan Commitments in an amount up to the amount by which the Revolving Loan Commitments exceed the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments at the time of such proposed termination or reduction; provided that any such partial reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount. Company’s notice to Administrative Agent shall designate the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such termination or reduction and the amount of any partial reduction, and such termination or reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be effective on the date specified in Company’s notice and shall reduce the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Lender proportionately to its Pro Rata Share provided that a notice of reduction in respect of all outstanding Revolving Loan Commitments delivered by Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by Company (by notice to Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

(iii) Mandatory Prepayments and Reductions in Commitments. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.4B(iv)(d), the Loans shall be prepaid in the amounts and under the circumstances set forth below, all such prepayments to be applied as set forth below or as more specifically provided in Section 2.4B(iv):

(b) Prepayments From Net Asset Sale Proceeds. No later than the fifth Business Day following the date on which any Net Asset Sale Proceeds become Unreinvested Asset Sale Proceeds, Company shall prepay its outstanding Term Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such Unreinvested Asset Sale Proceeds; provided that Company may in its sole discretion elect, pursuant to a written notice given by Company to Administrative Agent describing such election, to postpone any mandatory prepayments otherwise required to be made by Company pursuant to this Section 2.4B(iii)(b) (any such prepayment, until the time actually made, being “Postponed Prepayments”) until such time as the aggregate amount of Postponed Prepayments equals $10,000,000.

(c) Prepayments from Consolidated Excess Cash Flow. In the event that there shall be Consolidated Excess Cash Flow for any Fiscal Year (commencing with the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2010), Company shall, no later than the date on which Company has delivered or is required to deliver audited financial statements with respect to such Fiscal Year pursuant to Section 6.1(ii), prepay its outstanding Term Loans in an aggregate amount equal to (I) 50% of such Consolidated Excess Cash Flow; provided that (x) if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio shall be less than 3.25:1.00 but equal to or greater than 2.75:1.00 as of the last day of any such Fiscal Year, then the percentage referred to above shall be reduced to 25% and (y) if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio shall be less than 2.75:1.00 as of the last day of any such Fiscal Year, then the percentage referred to above shall be reduced to 0%; minus (II) voluntary prepayments of Term Loans made during such Fiscal Year or in the subsequent Fiscal Year prior to the date of any required prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.4B(iii)(c), provided that if an amount is deducted pursuant to this clause (II) in any Fiscal Year the same amount may not be deducted in the subsequent Fiscal Year. The portion of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow in respect of any Fiscal Year not required to be applied to prepay the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.4B(iii)(c) minus any amount deducted pursuant to clause (II) above, shall be deemed to be “Retained Excess Cash Flow”.

(d) Prepayments from Incurrences of Indebtedness. In addition to any other mandatory repayments or commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 2.4, on each date after the Closing Date upon which Company or any of its Subsidiaries receives any cash proceeds from any issuance or incurrence by Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 7.1 as in effect on the Closing Date), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of the respective incurrence of Indebtedness shall be applied on such date as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of this Section 2.4B(iii).

(e) Prepayments from Recovery Events. In addition to any other mandatory repayments or commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 2.4, on each date on or after the Closing Date upon which Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any Designated Non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries) receives any cash proceeds from any Recovery Event (other than Recovery Events where the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom do not exceed $2,500,000), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Recovery Event shall be applied on such date as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.4B(iv); provided, however, that such Net Cash Proceeds shall not be required to be so applied on such date so long as Company has delivered a certificate to Administrative Agent on such date stating that such Net Cash Proceeds shall be used to replace or restore any properties or assets in respect of which such Net Cash Proceeds were paid within one year following the date of the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (which certificate shall set forth the estimates of the Net Cash Proceeds to be so expended), and provided, further, that if all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds not required to be so applied pursuant to the preceding proviso are not so used within one year after the date of the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (or such earlier date, if any, as Company or the relevant Subsidiary determines not to reinvest the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Recovery Event as set forth above), such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period (or such earlier date, as the case may be) as provided above in this Section 2.4B(iii)(e) without regard to the immediately preceding proviso.

(f) Mandatory Prepayments Relating to Revolving Loan Commitments. On any day on which the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments exceeds the Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect (whether as a result of a reduction of Revolving Loan Commitments, a change in the applicable Exchange Rates pursuant to Section 1.4 or otherwise), Company shall prepay on such day the principal of Swing Line Loans and, after all Swing Line Loans have been repaid in full or if no Swing Line Loans are outstanding, Revolving Loans in an amount equal to such excess. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Swing Line Loans and Revolving Loans, the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Usage exceeds the Revolving Loan Commitments at such time, Company shall pay to Administrative Agent at the Payment Office on such day an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of such excess (up to a maximum amount equal to the Letter of Credit Usage at such time), such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all Obligations of Company to the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by Administrative Agent.

(iv) Application of Prepayments.

(a) Application of Voluntary Prepayments by Tranche of Loans and Order of Maturity. Any voluntary prepayments pursuant to Section 2.4B(i) shall be applied as specified by Company in the applicable notice of prepayment; provided that in the event Company fails to specify the Loans of Company to which any such prepayment shall be applied, such prepayment shall be applied first to repay outstanding Swing Line Loans to the full extent thereof, second to repay outstanding Revolving Loans to the full extent thereof, and third to repay outstanding Term Loans, with such amount to be allocated (other than in the case of and as provided in Section 2.4B(v)) among each of the outstanding Tranches of Term Loans on a Pro Rata Basis (based upon the Pro Rata Share of the then outstanding principal amounts of the respective Tranches of Term Loans) to the full extent thereof. Any voluntary prepayment of any Tranche of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.4B(i) shall be applied to prepay the Term Loans in the manner specified by Company and to reduce the relevant Scheduled Repayments of principal of such Tranche of Term Loans set forth in Section 2.4A(i) or 2.4A(ii), as applicable, in such order as Company shall direct.

(b) Application of Mandatory Prepayments of Term Loans and the Scheduled Repayments of Principal Thereof. Any mandatory prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.4B(iii) shall be applied to prepay the Term Loans on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof) and to reduce the relevant Scheduled Repayments of such Tranche of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.4A(i) or 2.4A(ii), as applicable, on a pro rata basis (based upon the then remaining principal amount of each such Scheduled Repayment of the respective Tranche after giving effect to all prior reductions thereto).

(c) Waiver of Certain Mandatory Prepayments. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event Company is required to make any mandatory prepayment (a “Waivable Mandatory Prepayment”) of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.4B(iii)(b) through (e), (V) Company may, by written or telephonic notice (promptly confirmed in writing) given to Administrative Agent not less than three Business Days prior to the date (the “Required Prepayment Date”) on which Company is required to make such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, elect to offer each Lender holding an outstanding Term Loan the option to refuse such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, (W) in the event Company gives such notice to Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent will promptly notify each such Lender of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment and such Lender’s option to refuse such amount, (X) each such Lender may exercise such option by giving written notice to Company and Administrative Agent of its election to do so on or before the first Business Day (the “Cutoff Date”) prior to the Required Prepayment Date, (Y) on the Required Prepayment Date, Company shall pay to Administrative Agent an amount equal to that portion of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment payable to those Lenders that have elected not to exercise such option (it being understood that any Lender which does not notify Company and Administrative Agent of its election to exercise such option on or before the Cutoff Date shall be deemed to have elected, as of the Cutoff Date, not to exercise such option), which amount shall be applied to prepay the Term Loans of such Lenders in accordance with Section 2.4B(iv)(b), and (Z) Company shall be entitled to retain that portion of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment otherwise payable to those Lenders that have elected to exercise such option (such amount being a “Retained Prepayment”) to be used for general corporate purposes.

(d) Application of Prepayments of Loans to Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans; Option to Defer Certain Mandatory Prepayments of LIBOR Loans. Considering Initial Term Loans, Revolving Loans and Incremental Term Loans being prepaid separately, any prepayment thereof shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to LIBOR Loans, in each case in a manner which minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by Company pursuant to Section 2.6D; provided that anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that (1) the application of any mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.4B(iii) in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4B(iv) would result in the prepayment of all or any portion of a LIBOR Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (2) no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Company shall have the option to, by giving written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to Administrative Agent of its election to do so on or before the first Business Day prior to the date on which such prepayment would otherwise be required to be made, (x) if the remaining term of such Interest Period is less than three months, defer the making of such prepayment until the last day of such Interest Period or such earlier date as Company may specify in such notice or (y) deposit the amount of such prepayment otherwise required to be made hereunder into the Collateral Account until the last day of such Interest Period at which time Administrative Agent shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2.4B(iv)(c), be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from Company) to apply such amount to the prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.4B(iii).

(v) Additional Revolving Loan Commitment Reductions/Prepayments of Loans. In the event of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Requisite Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 10.6B, Company shall have the right, subject to obtaining the consents required by Section 10.6B, upon five Business Days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), to (x) terminate the entire Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender, so long as all Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and all other amounts, owing to such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 2.6D and Section 2.7 but excluding amounts owing in respect of any Tranche of Term Loans maintained by such Lender, if such Tranche of Term Loans are not being repaid pursuant to Section 10.6B) are repaid concurrently with the effectiveness of such termination (at which time Schedule 2.1 shall be deemed modified to reflect such changed amounts) and such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all outstanding Letters of Credit is cash collateralized in a manner satisfactory to Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lenders, and at such time, unless the respective Lender continues to have outstanding Term Loans hereunder, such Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement, except with respect to indemnifications under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.6, 2.7, 3.5C, 3.6, 9.6, 10.2 and 10.5), which shall survive as to such repaid Lender and/or (y) repay all Loans of such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 2.6D and Section 2.7), together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and all other amounts then owing to such Lender (or owing to such Lender with respect to each Loan which gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender’s individual consent) in accordance with, and subject to the requirements of, said Section 10.6B, so long as (A) in the case of the repayment of Revolving Loans of any Lender pursuant to this clause (y), (i) the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender is terminated concurrently with such repayment pursuant to clause (x) above (at which time Schedule 2.1 shall be deemed modified to reflect the changed Revolving Loan Commitments) and (ii) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all outstanding Letters of Credit is cash collateralized in a manner satisfactory to Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lenders and (B) the consents, if any, required by Section 10.6B in connection with the repayment pursuant to this clause (y) shall have been obtained; provided that each prepayment of any Tranche of Term Loans pursuant to this clause (y) shall reduce the then remaining Scheduled Repayments of the respective Tranche of Term Loans on a pro rata basis (based upon the then remaining principal amount of each such Scheduled Repayment of the respective Tranche after giving effect to all prior reductions thereto).

C. General Provisions Regarding Payments.

(i) Manner and Time of Payment. All payments by Company of principal, interest, Fees and other Obligations hereunder and under the Notes shall be made in Dollars in same day funds without defense, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to Administrative Agent not later than 3:00 P.M.

(iii) Apportionment of Payments. Aggregate principal and interest payments in respect of Initial Term Loans, Revolving Loans and Incremental Term Loans shall be apportioned among all outstanding Loans to which such payments relate, in each case proportionately to Lenders’ respective Pro Rata Shares. Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender, at its applicable Lending Office or at such other address as such Lender may request, its Pro Rata Share of all such payments received by Administrative Agent and the Commitment Fees of such Lender when received by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4C(iii), if, pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.6B, any Notice of Conversion/Continuation is withdrawn as to any Affected Lender or if any Affected Lender makes Base Rate Loans in lieu of its Pro Rata Share of any LIBOR Loans, Administrative Agent shall give effect thereto in apportioning payments received thereafter.

(iv) Payments on Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder or of the Commitment Fees hereunder, as the case may be.

2.6 Special Provisions Governing LIBOR Loans. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the following provisions shall govern with respect to LIBOR Loans as to the matters covered:

A. Determination of Applicable Interest Rate. As soon as practicable after 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to LIBOR Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Company and each Lender.

B. Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate, Illegality, etc. In the event that any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clause (i) below, may be made only by Administrative Agent):

(i) on any Interest Rate Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBOR; 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 Loan because of (x) any change since the Closing Date in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request, such as, but not limited to a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of LIBOR and/or (y) other circumstances arising since the Closing Date affecting such Lender, the interbank Eurodollar market or the position of such Lender in such market (including that LIBOR with respect to such LIBOR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of funding such LIBOR Loan), excluding in the case of both (x) and (y), any such change in or new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request or any circumstances relating to Taxes); or

(iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any LIBOR Loan has been made (x) unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order, (y) impossible by compliance by any Lender in good faith with any governmental request (whether or not having force of law) or (z) impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Closing Date which materially and adversely affects the interbank Eurodollar market;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (the “Affected Lender”) (or Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone promptly confirmed in writing) to Company and, except in the case of clause (i) above, to Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice 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 Administrative Agent notifies Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by Company with respect to LIBOR Loans which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by Company, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, Company agrees to pay to such Affected Lender, upon such Affected Lender’s written request therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Affected Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Affected Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Affected Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to Company by such Affected Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (ii) above, Company shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.6C as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

C. Termination/Conversion of Affected LIBOR Loans. At any time that any LIBOR Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.6B(ii), Company may, and in the case of a LIBOR Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.6B(iii), Company shall, either (x) if the affected LIBOR Loan is then being made initially or pursuant to a borrowing, cancel such borrowing by giving Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the same date that Company was notified by the Affected Lender or Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.6B(ii) or (iii) or (y) if the affected LIBOR Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to Administrative Agent, require the Affected Lender to convert such LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan, provided that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all Affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 2.6C.

D. Compensation For Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. Company agrees to compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its LIBOR Loans but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or Administrative Agent) a borrowing of, or conversion from or into, LIBOR Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn by Company or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 2.6B); (ii) if any prepayment or repayment (including any prepayment or repayment made pursuant to Section 2.4B(i) or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 8) or conversion of any of its LIBOR Loans under Section 2.2D occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its LIBOR Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by Company; or (iv) as a consequence of (x) any other default by Company to repay LIBOR Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or any Note held by such Lender or (y) any election made pursuant to Section 2.6C.

If, after the occurrence of and during the continuation of a Potential Event of Default or an Event of Default, Administrative Agent or Requisite Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit the making or continuation of any Loans as, or the conversion of any Loans to, LIBOR Loans and Administrative Agent has so notified Company in writing (i) Company may not elect to have any Loans be made as or converted to LIBOR Loans or elect to have any outstanding LIBOR Loans continued as such after the expiration of the Interest Periods then in effect for such LIBOR Loans, and (ii) subject to the provisions of Section 2.6D, any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by Company with respect to a requested borrowing or conversion/continuation in respect of LIBOR Loans that has not yet occurred shall be deemed to be rescinded by Company.

2.7 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

A. Compensation for Increased Costs. In the event that any Lender shall reasonably determine (which determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that the introduction or adoption (after the date hereof) of any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or that any change (after the date hereof) in any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, or that any determination (after the date hereof) by a court or governmental authority, or that compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive issued or made (after the date hereof) by any central bank or other governmental or quasi-governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law), in any such case:

(i) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender; or

(ii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to Taxes) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable Lending Office) or its obligations hereunder or the London interbank market for Dollars;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable Lending Office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, Company shall pay to such Lender, promptly after receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or 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 may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or reduction. Such Lender shall deliver to Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.7A, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent clearly demonstrable error.

B. Withholding of Taxes.

(i) Payments to Be Free and Clear. All sums payable by Company under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall, except to the extent required by law (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any regulation, rule, treaty or other governmental requirement), be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax.

(ii) Payments Subject to Taxes. If Company (or any other Person making a payment on behalf of Company) is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any Tax from any sum paid or payable by Company to Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents:

(a) Company shall pay the amount of such Tax to the appropriate taxing or other authority;

(b) to the extent such Tax is a Non-Excluded Tax (as defined below), Company shall pay additional amounts to Administrative Agent or such Lender so that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made;

(c) to the extent such Tax is a Non-Excluded Tax, Company shall indemnify each Lender against the amount of any such Tax levied or imposed on and paid by such Lender; and

(d) within 30 days or as promptly as practicable after payment of any Excluded Tax pursuant to clause (a) above, Company shall deliver to Administrative Agent a receipt from the relevant taxing or other authority.

“Non-Excluded Tax” shall mean any Tax imposed with respect to (i) the execution of this Agreement or (ii) on payments by Company to Administrative Agent or a Lender other than (1) any Tax imposed on or measured by the net income of Administrative Agent or a Lender (including branch profits taxes) pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized, the jurisdiction in which the principal office or applicable Lending Office of such Administrative Agent or Lender is located or any subdivision thereof or therein; (2) any Tax imposed on Administrative Agent or a Lender (A) as a result of a present connection between the jurisdiction imposing such Taxes and Administrative Agent or such Lender or (B) by a jurisdiction which that Person (and/or, in the case of a Lender, its applicable Lending Office) is deemed to be doing business (with respect to (A) and (B), except as a result of a present connection arising from Administrative Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or

received a payment under, or enforced any Loan Documents); and (3) (A) any U.S. federal withholding Tax that is in effect and would apply to amounts payable hereunder at such time Lender or Administrative Agent becomes a party to this Agreement; (B) any Tax imposed solely by reason of any change in circumstances with respect to such Administrative Agent or Lender that was not requested by Company (or Person making payment on behalf of Company); or (C) any Tax imposed due to the failure to comply with Section 2.7B(iii); provided, however, that a Tax shall be a Non-Excluded Tax to the extent it arises as a result of any change in applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to such Tax occurring after such Administrative Agent or Lender becomes a party to this Agreement.

(e) If Company pays any indemnity or additional amount under this Section 2.7B(ii) to Administrative Agent or Lender and such Administrative Agent or Lender determines in its sole discretion that it has actually received or realized in connection therewith any refund of Non-Excluded Taxes for which it was indemnified or received additional amounts, such Administrative Agent or Lender shall pay to Company the amounts of such refund; provided, however, that (i) the Administrative Agent or Lender may determine, in its sole discretion consistent with the policies of such Administrative Agent or Lender, whether to seek such refund; (ii) to the extent that any Taxes are imposed on Administrative Agent or Lender as a result of a disallowance or reduction of such refund, such Taxes shall be treated as a Tax for which Company is obligated to indemnify such Administrative Agent or Lender pursuant to this Section 2.7B(ii); and (iii) nothing in this Section 2.7B(ii) shall require Administrative Agent or Lender to disclose any confidential information to Company (including, without limitation, its tax returns).

(iii) Evidence of Exemption from Withholding Tax.

(a) Each Lender that is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any state or other political subdivision thereof (for purposes of this Section 2.7B(iii), a “Non-US Lender”), to the extent that it is legally entitled and eligible to do so, shall deliver to Administrative Agent for transmission to Company, on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof), or on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender (in the case of any other Lender), and at such other times as may be reasonably requested by Company or Administrative Agent, (1) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, W-8ECI or W-8BEN (or any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, together with any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Internal Revenue Code or the regulations issued thereunder (or the rules and regulations relating to any tax imposed by the relevant subdivision of the United States) to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction (or is subject to a reduction in) or withholding of Tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of amounts payable under any of the Loan Documents or (2) if such Lender is not a “bank” or other Person described in Section 881(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, W-8ECI or W-8BEN pursuant to clause (1) above, a Certificate re Non-Bank Status together with two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 (or any successor form), properly completed and duly

executed by such Lender, together with any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Internal Revenue Code or the regulations issued thereunder (or the rules and regulations relating to any tax imposed by the relevant subdivision of the United States) to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction (or is subject to a reduction in) or withholding of Tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of interest payable under any of the Loan Documents.

(b) Each Lender required to deliver any forms, certificates or other evidence pursuant to Section 2.7B(iii)(a) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of such forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall promptly (1) deliver to Administrative Agent for transmission to Company two new original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, W-8ECI or W-8BEN, or a Certificate re Non-Bank Status and two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8, as the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, together with any other certificate or statement of exemption required in order to confirm or establish that such Lender is entitled to a continued exemption from or reduction in withholding of Tax with respect to payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents or (2) notify Administrative Agent and Company of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence.

(c) To the extent payment is made or to be made by or on behalf of Company from any non-U.S. jurisdiction, each Lender that is organized outside such jurisdiction agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions and reasonable overall policy considerations of the Lenders) to provide Company or Administrative Agent with such forms, certificates or other evidence as may be reasonably requested by the Company to establish the entitlement of such Lender to any reduction in or exemption from any Tax that may be applicable to such payments.

C. Capital Adequacy Adjustment. If any Lender determines that after the Closing Date the introduction of or any change in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency, will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender (or its applicable Lending Office) or any corporation controlling such Lender based on the existence of such Lender’s Loans or Commitments or Letters of Credit or participations therein or other obligations hereunder, then Company agrees to pay to such Lender, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as a result of such increase of capital. In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable, provided that such Lender’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.7C shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.7C, will give prompt written notice thereof to Company, which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts.

2.8 Notice of Certain Costs; Obligation of Lenders and Issuing Lenders to Mitigate. A. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent Section 2.6, 2.7 or 3.6 requires any Lender or Issuing Lender to give notice to Company of an event or a condition that would entitle such Lender or Issuing Lender to receive payments under Section 2.6, 2.7 or 3.6, as the case may be, in the event such notice is given by such Lender or Issuing Lender more than 180 days after such Lender or Issuing Lender has knowledge of the occurrence or existence of such event or circumstance, such Lender or Issuing Lender shall not be entitled to receive any such payments under Section 2.6, 2.7 or 3.6, as the case may be, in respect of the period ending on the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such notice is given to Company.

B. Each Lender and Issuing Lender agrees that, if an event occurs or a condition arises that would cause such Lender to become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender or Issuing Lender to receive payments under Section 2.7 or Section 3.6, it will, if so requested by Company, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to make, issue, fund or maintain the Commitments of such Lender or the affected Loans or Letters of Credit (or participations therein) of such Lender or Issuing Lender through another lending or letter of credit office of such Lender or Issuing Lender, if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender or Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.7 or Section 3.6 would be materially reduced and if the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Commitments or Loans or Letters of Credit (or participations therein) through such other lending or letter of credit office would not otherwise materially adversely affect such Commitments or Loans or Letters of Credit (or participations therein) or cause such Lender or Issuing Lender to suffer any economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, each as determined in the Lender’s sole discretion; provided that nothing in this Section 2.8 shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of Company or the rights of any Lender provided in Section 2.6C, 2.6F, 2.7 or 3.6.

2.9 Defaulting Lenders. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any Lender (a “Defaulting Lender”) (A) defaults in (for a period of three Business Days or more), or notifies Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender, any Issuing Lender and/or any Loan Party that it does not intend to comply with (in circumstances where such non-compliance would constitute a breach of, and excluding a good faith dispute with respect to), its obligation to fund (1) any Revolving Loan, including (without limitation) any Refunded Swing Line Loan (a “Defaulted Revolving Loan”), in accordance with Section 2.1, or (2) its portion of any unreimbursed payment with respect to a Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 3.4C or 3.5, or (B) becomes the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or a takeover by a regulatory authority (the events described in preceding clauses (A) and (B), a “Funding Default”), then (i) during any Default Period (as defined below) with respect to such Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” for purposes of voting on any matters (including the granting of any consents or waivers) with respect to any of the Loan Documents (other than for purposes of voting on matters of the type described in clause (i) of the first proviso to Section 10.6A), (ii) to the extent permitted by

applicable law, until such time as the Default Excess (as defined below) with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to zero, (a) any voluntary prepayment of the Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.4B(i) shall, if Company so directs at the time of making such voluntary prepayment, be applied to the Revolving Loans of other Lenders as if such Defaulting Lender had no Revolving Loans outstanding and the Revolving Loan Exposure of such Defaulting Lender were zero, and (b) any mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.4B(iii) shall, if Company so directs at the time of making such mandatory prepayment, be applied to the Revolving Loans of other Lenders (but not to the Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender) as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender, it being understood and agreed that Company shall be entitled to retain any portion of any mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Loans that is not paid to such Defaulting Lender solely as a result of the operation of the provisions of this clause (b), (iii) such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment and outstanding Revolving Loans and such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Usage shall be excluded for purposes of calculating the Commitment Fee payable to Lenders pursuant to Section 2.3A in respect of any day during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, and such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 2.3A with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment in respect of any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, and (iv) the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments as at any date of determination shall be calculated as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender; provided that, for purposes of (and only for purposes of) the last paragraph of Section 2.1A(iii) and Section 3.3B and any documentation entered into pursuant to the Back-Stop Arrangements (and the term “Defaulting Lender” as used therein), the term “Funding Default” shall also include, as to any Lender having a Revolving Loan Commitment, (i) any Affiliate of such Lender that has “control” (within the meaning provided in the definition of “Affiliate”) of such Lender having become the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or a takeover by a regulatory authority, (ii) any previously cured “Funding Default” of such Lender under this Agreement, unless such Funding Default has ceased to exist for a period of at least 90 consecutive days, (iii) any default by such Lender with respect to its obligations under any other credit facility to which it is a party and which the Swing Line Lender, any Issuing Lender or Administrative Agent believes in good faith has occurred and is continuing, and (iv) the failure of such Lender to make available its portion of any borrowing of Revolving Loans or to fund its portion of any unreimbursed payment with respect to a Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 3.4C or 3.5 within one Business Day of the date (x) Administrative Agent (in its capacity as a Lender) or (y) the Lenders constituting the Requisite Class Lenders with Revolving Loan Commitments has or have, as applicable, funded its or their portion thereof.

For purposes of this Agreement, (I) “Default Period” means, with respect to any Defaulting Lender, the period commencing on the date of the applicable Funding Default and ending on the earliest of the following dates: (A) the date on which all Revolving Loan Commitments are cancelled or terminated and/or the Obligations are declared or become immediately due and payable, (B) the date on which (1) the Default Excess with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to zero (whether by the funding by such Defaulting Lender of any Defaulted Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender or by the non-pro rata application of any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the Revolving Loans in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.9 or by a combination thereof) and (2) such Defaulting Lender

shall have delivered to Company and Administrative Agent a written reaffirmation of its intention to honor its obligations under this Agreement with respect to its Revolving Loan Commitment, and (C) the date on which Company, Administrative Agent and Requisite Lenders waive all Funding Defaults of such Defaulting Lender in writing, and (II) “Default Excess” means, with respect to any Defaulting Lender, the excess, if any, of such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans of all Lenders (calculated as if all Defaulting Lenders (other than such Defaulting Lender) had funded all of their respective Defaulted Revolving Loans) over the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender.

No Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.9, performance by Company of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified, as a result of any Funding Default or the operation of this Section 2.9. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.9 are in addition to other rights and remedies which Company may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default and which Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default.

2.10 Removal or Replacement of a Lender.

A. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that:

(i) upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.6B(ii), 2.6B(iii), 2.7 or Section 3.6 with respect to any Lender (an “Increased-Cost Lender”) which results in such Increased-Cost Lender charging to Company increased costs in excess of those generally charged by other Lenders; or

(ii) (a) any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, (b) the Default Period for such Defaulting Lender shall remain in effect, and (c) such Defaulting Lender shall fail to cure the default as a result of which it has become a Defaulting Lender within five Business Days after Company’s request that it cure such default; or

(iii) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions of this Agreement which has been approved by the Requisite Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 10.6B but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained;

then, and in each such case, at its option, Company may elect upon five Business Days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Increased-Cost Lender, Defaulting Lender and/or Non-Consenting Lender, as the case may be), to remove or replace such Increased-Cost Lender, Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender (the “Terminated Lender”) to the extent permitted by Section 2.10B (and notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary).

B. Company may, by giving five Business Days’ written notice to Administrative Agent and any Terminated Lender of its election to do so:

(i) so long as no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default then exists or would exist after giving effect to such removal, elect to (a) terminate the entire Revolving Loan Commitment, if any, of such Terminated Lender and concurrently prepay on the date of such termination any outstanding Loans made by such Terminated Lender, and/or (b) repay all outstanding Loans of such Terminated Lender, in each case (under both clauses (a) and (b) above) together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, Fees and all other amounts payable to such Terminated Lender hereunder pursuant to Section 2.6, Section 2.7 or Section 3.6 or otherwise in accordance with Section 2.4B(v) hereof; provided that in the event such Terminated Lender has any Loans outstanding at the time of such termination, the written consent of Administrative Agent and Requisite Lenders (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required in order for Company to make the election set forth in this clause (i); or

(ii) elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans and its Revolving Loan Commitment, if any, in full to one or more Eligible Assignees, none of whom shall constitute an Increased-Cost Lender or a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (“Replacement Lender”) and each of which shall be reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent or, in the case of a replacement as provided in Section 10.6B where the consent of the respective Lender is required with respect to less than all Tranches of its Loans or Commitments, to replace the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of such Lender in respect of each Tranche where the consent of such Lender would otherwise be individually required, with identical Commitments and/or Loans of the respective Tranche provided by the Replacement Lender; provided that:

(a) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 2.10B(ii), the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment Agreements pursuant to Section 10.1B (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 10.1B to be paid by the Replacement Lender and/or the Terminated Lender (as may be agreed to at such time by and among Company, the Replacement Lender and the Terminated Lender)), pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans (or, in the case of the replacement of only (A) the Revolving Loan Commitment, the Revolving Loan Commitment and outstanding Revolving Loans and participations in Letter of Credit Usage and/or (B) the outstanding Term Loans, the outstanding Term Loans with respect to which such Lender is being replaced) of, and in each case (except for the replacement of only the outstanding Term Loans of the respective Lender) all participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to the respective Tranche by, the

Terminated Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to (x) the Terminated Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans (or of the Loans of the respective Tranche being replaced) of the respective Terminated Lender with respect to which such Terminated Lender is being replaced, (B) an amount equal to all Unpaid Drawings (unless there are no Unpaid Drawings with respect to the Tranche being replaced) that have been funded by (and not reimbursed to) such Terminated Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (C) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees owing to the Terminated Lender (but only with respect to the relevant Tranche, in the case of the replacement of less than all Tranches of Loans then held by the respective Terminated Lender) pursuant to Section 2.3, (y) except in the case of the replacement of only the outstanding Term Loans of a Terminated Lender, each Issuing Lender an amount equal to such Terminated Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Unpaid Drawing relating to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender (which at such time remains an Unpaid Drawing) to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Terminated Lender and (z) in the case of any replacement of Revolving Loan Commitments, the Swing Line Lender an amount equal to such Terminated Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Refunded Swing Line Loans to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender to the Swing Line Lender; and

(b) all obligations of Company then owing to the Terminated Lender (other than those (a) specifically described in clause (a) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid, but including all amounts, if any, owing under Section 2.6D or (b) relating to any Tranche of Loans and/or Commitments of the respective Terminated Lender which will remain outstanding after giving effect to the respective replacement) shall be paid in full to such Terminated Lender concurrently with such replacement; and (c) in the event such Terminated Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent at the time of such replacement to each matter in respect to which such Terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender; and

provided that (X) Company may not make either of the elections set forth in clauses (i) or (ii) above with respect to any Non-Consenting Lender unless Company also makes one of such elections with respect to each other Terminated Lender which is a Non-Consenting Lender and (Y) Company may not make the elections set forth in clause (i) above with respect to (a) any Terminated Lender that is an Issuing Lender unless, prior to the effectiveness of such election, Company shall have caused each outstanding Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender to be cancelled and (b) in all other circumstances where a Letter of Credit issued by any other Issuing Lender is outstanding, prior to the effectiveness of such election, Company shall enter into the applicable Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements with such Issuing Lender.

C. Upon receipt by the Terminated Lender of all amounts required to be paid to it pursuant to this Section 2.10, Administrative Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated) and authorized to execute an Assignment Agreement on behalf of such Terminated Lender, and any such Assignment Agreement so executed by Administrative Agent and the Replacement Lender shall be effective for purposes of this Section 2.10 and Section 10.1. Upon the execution of the respective Assignment Agreement, the payment of amounts referred to in Section 2.10B above, recordation of the assignment on the Register by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.1D and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by Company, (w) with respect to the Terminated Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment (if any), Schedule 2.1 shall be deemed modified to reflect any corresponding changes in the Revolving Loan Commitments, (x) the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and, unless the respective Terminated Lender continues to have outstanding Term Loans and/or a Revolving Loan Commitment hereunder, the Terminated Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.6C, 2.6D, 2.7, 3.5C, 3.6, 9.6, 10.2 and 10.5), which shall survive as to such Terminated Lender (y) with respect to the prepayment of any Tranche of Term Loans pursuant to this section 2.10C, such prepayment shall reduce the then remaining respective Scheduled Repayments of such Tranche of Term Loans on a pro rata basis (based upon the then remaining principal amount of each such Scheduled Payment of the respective Tranche after giving effect to all prior reductions thereto) and (z) the Pro Rata Share of the Lenders shall be automatically adjusted at such time to give effect to such replacement.

2.11 Incremental Term Loan Commitments.

A. So long as the Incremental Loan Commitment Request Requirements are satisfied at the time of the delivery of the request referred to below, Company shall have the right, with the consent of, and in coordination with, Administrative Agent as to all of the matters set forth below in this Section 2.11, but without requiring the consent of any of the Lenders, to request at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date and prior to the date which is 12 months prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date, that one or more Lenders (and/or one or more other Persons which are Eligible Assignees and which will become Lenders) provide Incremental Term Loan Commitments to Company and, subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and in the respective Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, make Incremental Term Loans pursuant thereto; it being understood and agreed, however, that (i) no Lender shall be obligated to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment as a result of any such request by Company, and until such time, if any, as such Lender has agreed in its sole discretion to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment and executed and delivered to Administrative Agent and Company an Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement as provided in Section 2.11B, such Lender shall not be obligated to fund any Incremental Term Loans, (ii) any Lender (including any Eligible Assignee which will become a Lender) may so provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment without the consent of any other Lender, (iii) each Tranche of Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be denominated in Dollars, (iv) the amount of each Tranche of Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be in a minimum aggregate amount for all Lenders which provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment under such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans (including Eligible Assignees which will become Lenders) of at least $25,000,000 and in integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof, (v) the aggregate amount of all Incremental Term Loan Commitments provided pursuant to this Section 2.11, when combined with the aggregate amount of all Incremental RL Commitments provided

B. At the time of the provision of Incremental Term Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.11, Company, Administrative Agent and each such Lender or other Eligible Assignee which agrees to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment (each, an “Incremental Term Loan Lender”) shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, with the effectiveness of the Incremental Term Loan Commitment provided therein to occur on the date set forth in such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, which date in any event shall be no earlier than the date on which (w) all fees required to be paid in connection therewith at the time of such effectiveness shall have been paid (including, without limitation, any agreed upon up-front or arrangement fees owing to

Administrative Agent (or any Affiliate thereof)), (x) all Incremental Loan Commitment Requirements are satisfied, (y) all other conditions set forth in this Section 2.11 shall have been satisfied, and (z) all other conditions precedent that may be set forth in such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall have been satisfied. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, and at such time, (i) Schedule 2.1 shall be deemed modified to reflect the revised Incremental Term Loan Commitments of the affected Lenders and (ii) to the extent requested by any Incremental Term Loan Lender, Incremental Term Notes will be issued, at Company’s expense, to such Incremental Term Loan Lender in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.1E.

C. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.11, the Incremental Term Loan Commitments provided by an Incremental Term Loan Lender or Incremental Term Loan Lenders, as the case may be, pursuant to each Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall constitute a new Tranche, which shall be separate and distinct from the existing Tranches pursuant to this Agreement (with a designation which may be made in letters (i.e., A, B, C, etc.), numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.) or a combination thereof (i.e., X-0, X-0, X-0, X-0, X-0, X-0, C-1, C-2, C-3, etc.), provided that with the consent of Administrative Agent, the parties to a given Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement may specify therein that the respective Incremental Term Loans made pursuant thereto shall constitute part of, and be added to, an existing Tranche of Incremental Term Loans or the outstanding Tranche of Initial Term Loans, in either case so long as the following requirements are satisfied:

(i) the Incremental Term Loans to be made pursuant to such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall have the same Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date and shall have the same Applicable Margins as the Tranche of Term Loans to which the new Incremental Term Loans are being added;

(ii) the new Incremental Term Loans shall have the same Scheduled Repayment Dates as then remain with respect to the Tranche to which such new Incremental Term Loans are being added (with the amount of each Scheduled Repayment applicable to such new Incremental Term Loans to be the same (on a proportionate basis) as is theretofore applicable to the Tranche to which such new Incremental Term Loans are being added, thereby increasing the amount of each then remaining Scheduled Repayment of the respective Tranche proportionately); and

(iii) on the date of the making of such new Incremental Term Loans, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 2.2B, such new Incremental Term Loans shall be added to (and form part of) each borrowing of outstanding Term Loans of the respective Tranche on a pro rata basis (based on the relative sizes of the various outstanding borrowings), so that each Lender will participate proportionately in each then outstanding borrowing (and the related Interest Periods, if any) of Term Loans of the respective Tranche.

To the extent the provisions of preceding clause (iii) require that Lenders making new Incremental Term Loans add such Incremental Term Loans to the then outstanding Interest Periods of LIBOR Loans of such Tranche, it is acknowledged that the effect thereof may result in such new Incremental Term Loans having short Interest Periods (i.e., an Interest Period that began during an Interest Period then applicable to outstanding LIBOR Loans of such Tranche and which will end on the last day of such Interest Period). In connection therewith, Company hereby agrees to compensate the Lenders making the new Incremental Term Loans of the respective Tranche for funding LIBOR Loans during an existing Interest Period on such basis as may be agreed by Company and the respective Lender or Lenders as may be provided in the respective Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement.

Commitments), Company shall pay to the Lenders providing such existing Revolving Loan Commitments a fee equal to such excess (to be shared by such Lenders ratably on the basis of their Pro Rata Shares of such existing Revolving Loan Commitments), which fee shall be paid on the effective date of any such Incremental RL Commitments as provided in Section 2.12B, and (vii) all Incremental Revolving Loans (and all interest, fees and other amounts payable thereon) shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents and shall be secured by the Collateral Documents, and guaranteed under the Subsidiary Guaranty, on a pari passu basis with all other Obligations secured by the Collateral Documents and guaranteed under the Subsidiary Guaranty.

B. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Issuing Lender agrees that it will, at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date and prior to the thirtieth (30th) day prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, following its receipt of the respective Request for Issuance of Letter of Credit in the form of Exhibit III annexed hereto as provided in Section 3.3 below, issue for account of Company, one or more Letters of Credit as are permitted to remain outstanding hereunder without giving rise to a Potential Event Default or an Event of Default; provided that no Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit of the types described above if at the time of such issuance:

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

(ii) such Issuing Lender shall have received from Company, any other Loan Party or the Requisite Lenders prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit notice of the type described in the second sentence of Section 3.3B.

3.2 Maximum Letter of Credit Usage; Final Maturities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to the Letter of Credit Usage (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid on the date of, and prior to the issuance of, the respective Letter of Credit) at such time (calculating any Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars by reference to the applicable Exchange Rate for such currency as at any date of determination) would exceed either (x) $20,000,000 or (y) when added to the sum of (I) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding and (II) the aggregate principal amount of all Swing Line Loans then outstanding, an amount equal to the Revolving Loan Commitments at such time, and (ii) each Letter of Credit shall by its terms terminate (x) in the case of standby Letters of Credit, on or before the earlier of (A) the date which occurs 12 months after the date of the issuance thereof (although any such standby Letter of Credit may be extendible for successive periods of up to 12 months, but, in each case, not beyond the tenth (10th) Business Day prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, on terms acceptable to the Issuing Lender) and (B) ten (10) Business Days prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, and (y) in the case of trade Letters of Credit, on or before the earlier of (A) the date which occurs 180 days after the date of issuance thereof and (B) thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

3.3 Letter of Credit Requests; Minimum Stated Amount.

A. Whenever Company desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account, Company shall deliver to Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lender a Request for Issuance of Letter of Credit in the form of Exhibit III annexed hereto no later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) at least five Business Days’ (or such shorter period as is acceptable to such Issuing Lender) prior to the proposed date of issuance thereof (including by way of facsimile).

B. The making of each Request for Issuance of Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by Company to the Lenders that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 3.2. Unless the respective Issuing Lender has received notice from Company, any other Loan Party or the Requisite Lenders before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions specified in Section 4 are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Section 3.2, then such Issuing Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, issue the requested Letter of Credit for the account of Company in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s usual and customary practices. Upon the issuance of or modification or amendment to any standby Letter of Credit, each Issuing Lender shall promptly notify Company and Administrative Agent, in writing, of such issuance, modification or amendment and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or the respective modification or amendment thereto, as the case may be. Promptly after receipt of such notice Administrative Agent shall notify the Participants, in writing, of such issuance, modification or amendment. On the first Business Day of each week, each Issuing Lender shall furnish Administrative Agent with a written (including via facsimile) report of the daily aggregate outstandings of trade Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for the immediately preceding week. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that a Funding Default exists with respect to any Lender having a Revolving Loan Commitment, no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, renew, extend or amend any Letter of Credit, unless such Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and Company to eliminate such Issuing Lender’s risk with respect to each Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender (which arrangements are hereby consented to by the Lenders), including by cash collateralizing each Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Usage with respect to such Letters of Credit (such arrangements, the “Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements”).

C. The initial Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than $100,000 or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the respective Issuing Lender.

3.4 Letter of Credit Participations.

A. Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuing Lender of any Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender having a Revolving Loan Commitment, and each such Lender (in its capacity under this Section 3.4, a “Participant”) shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Participant’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments, in such Letter of Credit, each drawing or payment made thereunder and the obligations of Company under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Revolving Loan Commitments or Pro Rata Share of the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.10 or 10.1B, it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings relating thereto, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 3.4 to reflect the new Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments of the assignor and assignee Lender, as the case may be.

B. In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation relative to the other Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear to substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it shall not create for such Issuing Lender any resulting liability to Company, any other Loan Party, any Lender or any other Person unless such action is taken or omitted to be taken with gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

C. In the event that an Issuing Lender makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and Company shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.5A, such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Participant of such failure, and each Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to such Issuing Lender the amount of such Participant’s Pro Rata Share of such unreimbursed payment in Dollars (which amount, in the case of a drawing under a Letter of Credit which is denominated in a currency other than Dollars, shall be calculated by reference to the applicable Exchange Rate) and in same day funds. If Administrative Agent so notifies, prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on any Business Day, any Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such Participant shall make available to the respective Issuing Lender in Dollars (which amount, in the case of a drawing under a Letter of Credit which is denominated in a currency other than Dollars, shall be calculated by reference to the applicable Exchange Rate) such Participant’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds. If and to the extent such Participant shall not have so made its Pro Rata Share of the amount of such payment available to the respective Issuing Lender, such Participant agrees to pay to such Issuing Lender, forthwith on demand, such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to such Issuing Lender at the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans for each day thereafter. The failure of any Participant to make available to an Issuing Lender its Pro Rata Share of any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender shall not relieve any other Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to such Issuing Lender its Pro Rata Share of any payment under any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other Participant to make available to such Issuing Lender such other Participant’s Pro Rata Share of any such payment.

D. Whenever an Issuing Lender receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which it has received any payments from the Participants pursuant to Section 3.4C above, such Issuing Lender shall pay to each such Participant which has paid its Pro Rata Share thereof, in Dollars and in same day funds, an amount equal to such Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all Participants) of the principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective participations.

E. Upon the request of any Participant, each Issuing Lender shall furnish to such Participant copies of any standby Letter of Credit issued by it and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Participant.

F. The obligations of the Participants to make payments to each Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:

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

(ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which Company or any of its Subsidiaries 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), Administrative Agent, any Participant, or any 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 Company or any Subsidiary of Company 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 Loan Documents; or

(v) the occurrence of any Potential Event of Default or Event of Default.

3.5 Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings.

100

(ii) Once executed and delivered pursuant to the terms of Section 6.7B, each Mortgage creates, as security for the obligations purported to be secured thereby, a valid and enforceable perfected security interest in and mortgage lien on the respective Mortgaged Property in favor of Collateral Agent (or such other trustee as may be required or desired under local law) for the benefit of the Secured Parties, superior and prior to the rights of all third Persons (except that the security interest and mortgage lien created on such Mortgaged Property may be subject to the Permitted Encumbrances related thereto) and subject to no other Liens (other than Permitted Encumbrances related thereto).

B. Governmental Authorizations. No authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for either (i) the pledge or grant by any Loan Party of the Liens purported to be created in favor of Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent pursuant to any of the Collateral Documents or (ii) the exercise by Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent of any rights or remedies in respect of any Collateral (whether specifically granted or created pursuant to any of the Collateral Documents or created or provided for by applicable law), except for filings or recordings contemplated by Section 5.14A and except as may be required, in connection with the disposition of any Pledged Collateral, by laws generally affecting the offering and sale of securities.

C. Absence of Third-Party Filings. Except such as may have been filed in favor of Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent as contemplated by Section 5.14A and filings for Liens permitted hereunder, (i) no effective UCC financing statement, fixture filing or other instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of the Collateral is on file in any filing or recording office (except as may have been filed (a) to secure Indebtedness which is no longer outstanding and (b) with respect to commitments to lend which have been terminated) and (ii) no effective filing concerning a security interest or other Lien covering all or any part of the IP Collateral material to the Company’s business is on file in the PTO or the United States Copyright Office.

123

acceleration) shall be remedied or waived pursuant to Section 10.6, then Requisite Lenders, by written notice to Company, may at their option rescind and annul such acceleration and its consequences; but such action shall not affect any subsequent Event of Default or Potential Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. The provisions of this paragraph are intended merely to bind Lenders to a decision which may be made at the election of Requisite Lenders and are not intended, directly or indirectly, to benefit Company, and such provisions shall not at any time be construed so as to grant Company the right to require Lenders to rescind or annul any acceleration hereunder or to preclude Administrative Agent or Lenders from exercising any of the rights or remedies available to them under any of the Loan Documents, even if the conditions set forth in this paragraph are met.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8, in the event that Company fails to comply with the requirements of Section 7.6 as of the end of any relevant Fiscal Quarter, Company shall have the right (the “Cure Right”) (at any time during such Fiscal Quarter or thereafter until the date that is 10 days after the date the Compliance Certificate is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(iii)) to receive cash contributions to its common equity or cash proceeds of common equity issuances in an amount equal to no greater than that needed to cause Company to be in compliance with the requirements of Section 7.6 (the “Cure Amount”), and, provided 100% of such cash contribution has been contributed, or such cash proceeds received, as common equity to Company as common equity, thereupon Company’s compliance with Section 7.6 shall be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustments: (i) Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA shall be increased, solely for the purposes of determining compliance with Section 7.6, as of the end of such Fiscal Quarter and applicable subsequent periods that include such Fiscal Quarter by an amount equal to the Cure Amount (provided that, for such relevant Fiscal Quarter, Consolidated Total Debt shall not be recalculated to give effect to any repayment of Indebtedness with the Cure Amount) and (ii) if, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations, the requirements of Section 7.6 shall be satisfied, then the requirements of Section 7.6 shall be deemed satisfied as of the end of the relevant Fiscal Quarter with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of Section 7.6 that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (a) the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required for purposes of complying with Section 7.6, (b) Company shall not be entitled to exercise the Cure Right more than two times during the term of this Agreement, (c) all Cure Amounts shall be disregarded for purposes of determining baskets with respect to the covenants contained in the Loan Documents, for purposes of determining pricing and for any other purpose, and may not be used to make a Restricted Junior Payment, and (d) upon Administrative Agent’s receipt of a notice from Company that it intends to exercise the Cure Right (a “Notice of Intent to Cure”), until the 10th day following date of delivery of the Compliance Certificate under Section 6.1(iii) to which such Notice of Intent to Cure relates, none of Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall exercise the right to accelerate the Loans or terminate the Commitments and none of Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent nor any other Lender or Secured Parties shall (i) exercise any right to foreclose on or take possession of the Collateral or (ii) exercise any other remedy hereunder or applicable law solely on the basis of an Event of Default having occurred and being continuing under Section 7.6.

124

SECTION 9. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

9.1 Appointment. The Lenders hereby irrevocably designate and appoint DB as Administrative Agent (for purposes of this Section 9 and Section 10.2, the term “Administrative Agent” also shall include DB in its capacity as Collateral Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents) to act as specified herein and in the other Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance of such Note shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize, Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Administrative Agent may perform any of its respective duties hereunder by or through its officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates.

9.2 Nature of Duties.

A. Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents. Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith, unless caused by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). The duties of Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or the holder of any Note; and nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

B. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Loan Document, each Lead Arranger is named as such for recognition purposes only, and in its capacity as such shall have no powers, duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; it being understood and agreed that each Lead Arranger shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor of Administrative Agent as, and to the extent, provided for under Section 10.2. Without limitation of the foregoing, none of Lead Arrangers shall, solely by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or any other Person.

9.3 Lack of Reliance on Administrative Agent. Independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent, each Lender and the holder of each Note, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Company and its Subsidiaries and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or

125

responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender or the holder of any Note for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the financial condition of Company or any of its Subsidiaries or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the financial condition of Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any Potential Event of Default or Event of Default.

9.4 Certain Rights of Administrative Agent. If Administrative Agent requests instructions from the Requisite Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until Administrative Agent shall have received instructions from the Requisite Lenders; and Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Lender by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, neither any Lender nor the holder of any Note shall have any right of action whatsoever against Administrative Agent as a result of Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Loan Document in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders.

9.5 Reliance. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by any Person that Administrative Agent believed to be the proper Person, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and any other Loan Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by Administrative Agent.

9.6 Right to Indemnity. To the extent Administrative Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) is not reimbursed and indemnified by Company, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify Administrative Agent (and any Affiliate thereof) in proportion to their respective “percentage” as used in determining the Requisite Lenders (determined as if there were no Defaulting Lenders) for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by Administrative Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) in performing its duties hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Administrative Agent’s (or such Affiliate’s) gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

126

9.7 Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its obligation to make Loans, or issue or participate in Letters of Credit, under this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall have the rights and powers specified herein for a “Lender” and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties specified herein; and the term “Lender”, “Requisite Class Lenders”, “Requisite Lenders”, or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, include Administrative Agent in its respective individual capacities. Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or other business with, or provide debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party (or any Person engaged in a similar business with any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof) as if they were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

9.8 Holders. Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with Administrative Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

9.9 Resignation by Administrative Agent; Replacement.

A. Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its respective functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Loan Documents at any time by giving 15 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and, unless a Potential Event of Default or an Event of Default under Section 8.6 then exists, Company. Any such resignation by an Administrative Agent hereunder shall automatically, and with no further action required on the part of Administrative Agent, also constitute its resignation as an Issuing Lender and the Swing Line Lender, in which case the resigning Administrative Agent (x) shall not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit or make any additional Swing Line Loans hereunder and (y) shall maintain all of its rights as Issuing Lender or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it, or Swing Line Loans made by it, prior to the date of such resignation. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to clauses (B) and (C) below or as otherwise provided below.

B. Upon any such notice of resignation by Administrative Agent, the Requisite Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder who shall be a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to Company, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that Company’s approval shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists).

C. If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within such 15 Business Day period, Administrative Agent, with the consent of Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that Company’s consent shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists), shall then appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

127

D. If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (B) or (C) above by the 20th Business Day after the date such notice of resignation was given by Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the Requisite Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

E. The Requisite Lenders may at any time when Administrative Agent has become the subject of a proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally, or had a receiver, conservator, trustee or custodian appointed for it, upon no less than 15 Business Days’ prior notice, replace Administrative Agent. Any such replacement of Administrative Agent hereunder shall automatically, and with no further action required on the part of Administrative Agent, also constitute its resignation as an Issuing Lender and the Swing Line Lender, in which case the replaced Administrative Agent (x) shall not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit or make any additional Swing Line Loans hereunder and (y) shall maintain all of its rights as Issuing Lender or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it, or Swing Line Loans made by it, prior to the date of such replacement. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (F) below or as otherwise provided below.

F. If Administrative Agent is replaced pursuant to the preceding clause (E), the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor which successor Administrative Agent shall be consented to by Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that Company’s consent shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists); provided that the successor Administrative Agent shall not be the subject of a proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally, or had a receiver, conservator, trustee or custodian appointed for it and shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the replaced Administrative Agent, and the replaced Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.

G. The fees payable by Company to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Company and such successor.

H. Upon a resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.9, Administrative Agent shall remain indemnified to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the provisions of this Section 9 (and the analogous provisions of the other Loan Documents) shall continue in effect for the benefit of Administrative Agent for all of its actions and inactions while serving as Administrative Agent.

128

9.10 Collateral Matters.

A. Each Lender authorizes and directs Collateral Agent to enter into the Collateral Documents for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties. Each Lender hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Collateral Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. Collateral Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Collateral Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents.

B. The Lenders hereby authorize Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by Collateral Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction of all of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification obligations) at any time arising under or in respect of this Agreement or the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) constituting property being sold or otherwise disposed of (to Persons other than Company and its Subsidiaries) upon the sale or other disposition thereof in compliance with Section 7.7, (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders hereunder, to the extent required by Section 10.6) or (iv) as otherwise may be expressly provided in the relevant Collateral Documents. Upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing Collateral Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 9.10.

C. Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Loan Party or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to Collateral Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Collateral Agent in this Section 9.10 or in any of the Collateral Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given Collateral Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

9.11 Delivery of Information. Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver to any Lender originals or copies of any documents, instruments, notices, communications or other information received by Administrative Agent from any Loan Party, any Subsidiary, the Requisite Lenders, any Lender or any other Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document except (i) as specifically provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (ii) as specifically requested from time to time in writing by any Lender with respect to a specific document, instrument, notice or other written communication received by and in the possession of Administrative Agent at the time of receipt of such request and then only in accordance with such specific request.

129

SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Benefit of Agreement; Assignments; Participations.

A. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, Company may not assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lenders (and any purported assignment or transfer without such consent shall be null and void) and, provided further, that, although any Lender may transfer, assign or grant participations in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Commitments hereunder except as provided in Sections 2.10 and 10.1B) and the transferee, assignee or participant, as the case may be, shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder and, provided further, that no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is not extended beyond the Revolving Loan Maturity Date) in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement or to Section 1.2 shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or Fees payable hereunder), or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Potential Event of Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Commitments shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment (or the available portion thereof) or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by Company of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under all of the Collateral Documents (except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents) supporting the Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder in which such participant is participating. In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by Company hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation.

B. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may (x) assign all or a portion of its Commitments and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Commitments with respect to the relevant Tranche have terminated, outstanding Obligations) hereunder to (i)(a) its parent company and/or any Affiliate of such Lender which is at least 50% owned by such Lender or its parent company or (b) one or more other Lenders or any Affiliate of any such other Lender which is at least 50% owned by such other Lender or its parent company (provided that any fund that invests in loans and is

130

managed or advised by the same investment advisor of another fund which is a Lender (or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor) shall be treated as an Affiliate of such other Lender for the purposes of this sub-clause (x)(i)(b)), or (ii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in loans, any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of any Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor or (y) assign all, or if less than all, a portion equal to at least $1,000,000 (in the case of Term Loans) or $2,000,000 (in the case of Revolving Loan Commitments) in the aggregate for the assigning Lender or assigning Lenders, of such Commitments and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Commitments with respect to the relevant Tranche have terminated, outstanding Obligations) hereunder to one or more Eligible Assignees (treating any fund that invests in loans and any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor as a single Eligible Assignee), each of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment Agreement, provided that (i) at such time, Schedule 2.1 shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be, of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders, (ii) upon the surrender of the relevant Notes by the assigning Lender (or, upon such assigning Lender’s indemnifying Company for any lost Note pursuant to a customary indemnification agreement) new Notes will be issued, at Company’s expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender upon the request of such new Lender or assigning Lender, such new Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.1(E) (with appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be, (iii) the consent of Administrative Agent and, so long as no Potential Event of Default under Section 8.6 or Event of Default then exists and the Syndication Date has thereto occurred, Company, shall be required in connection with any such assignment pursuant to clause (y) above (such consent, in any case, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), provided that (I) Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof and (II) the consent of Administrative Agent shall not be required in connection with a repurchase or assignment pursuant to Section 2.13, (iv) Administrative Agent shall receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500 and (v) no such transfer or assignment will be effective until recorded by Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 2.1D. To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 10.1B, the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments and outstanding Loans. At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 10.1B to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder and which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for Federal income tax purposes, the respective assignee Lender shall, to the extent legally entitled to do so, provide to Company the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable, a Certificate re Non-Bank Status) described in Section 2.7B(iii) and, shall, for the avoidance of doubt, comply with the provisions of Section 2.7B(iii) in their entirety. To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitments and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 2.10 or this Section 10.1B would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Sections 2.6, 2.7 or 3.6 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then Company shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although Company, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other

131

increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment). If an assigning Lender is entitled (on the date of assignment) to additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.7B(ii)(b) (or pursuant to this sentence) with respect to a United States withholding tax as a result of a change in applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, after the Closing Date, an assignee Lender similarly shall be entitled to such additional amounts (if not otherwise entitled to such amounts pursuant to Section 2.7B(ii)(b)) to the extent such assigning Lender was entitled to such additional amounts and such United States withholding tax would have been a Non-Excluded Tax with respect to such assignee Lender if such assignee Lender had been a party to this Agreement on the Closing Date.

C. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank and, with prior notification to Administrative Agent (but without the consent of Administrative Agent or Company), any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Loans and Notes to its trustee or to a collateral agent providing credit or credit support to such Lender in support of its obligations to such trustee, such collateral agent or a holder of such obligations, as the case may be.

10.5 Ratable Sharing.

A. Lenders hereby agree among themselves that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), by realization upon security, through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, amounts payable in respect of Loans, Unpaid Drawings, Letters of Credit, Fees and other amounts then due and owing to that Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (i) notify Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (ii) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided that if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of Company or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Company expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by Company to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder.

B. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of Company in respect of any Obligations hereunder, Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Lenders entitled thereto (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its Pro Rata Share of any such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.

C. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding Sections 10.5A and B shall be subject to (i) Section 2.13 and (ii) the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders.

10.6 Amendments and Waivers.

A. Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any terms hereof or thereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless such change, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing signed by the respective Loan Parties party hereto or thereto and the Requisite Lenders (although additional parties may be added to (and annexes may be modified to reflect such additions), and Subsidiaries of Company may be released from, the

135

Subsidiary Guaranty and the Collateral Documents in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof without the consent of the other Loan Parties party thereto or the Requisite Lenders), provided that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall, without the consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender, except in the case of following clause (i) in connection with any extension of final scheduled maturity or reduction (or forgiveness) of principal) (with Obligations directly affected in the case of following clause (i)), (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note or extend the stated expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or reduce (or forgive) the principal amount thereof (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement or to Section 1.2 shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or Fees for the purposes of this clause (i)), (ii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents) under all the Collateral Documents, (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 10.6A (except for technical amendments with respect to additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement which afford the protections to such additional extensions of credit of the type provided to the Term Loans and the Revolving Loan Commitments on the Closing Date), (iv) reduce the “majority” voting threshold specified in the definition of “Requisite Lenders” (it being understood that, with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of “Requisite Lenders” on substantially the same basis as the extensions of Term Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments are included on the Closing Date), or (v) consent to the assignment or transfer by Company of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided further, that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall (1) increase the Commitments of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Potential Events of Default or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Commitments shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of any Lender, and that an increase in the available portion of any Commitment of any Lender shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of such Lender), (2) without the consent of each Issuing Lender, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 3 or alter its rights or obligations with respect to Letters of Credit, (3) without the consent of the Swing Line Lender, alter the Swing Line Lender’s rights or obligations with respect to Swing Line Loans, (4) without the consent of Administrative Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 9 or any other provision as same relates to the rights or obligations of Administrative Agent, (5) without the consent of Collateral Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision relating to the rights or obligations of Collateral Agent, (6) except in cases where additional extensions of term loans and/or revolving loans are being afforded substantially the same treatment afforded to the Term Loans and Revolving Loans pursuant to this Agreement on the Closing Date, without the consent of the Requisite Class Lenders of each Class which is being allocated a lesser prepayment, repayment or commitment reduction as a result of the actions described below, alter the required application of any prepayments or repayments (or commitment reduction), as between the various Classes, pursuant to Section 2.4B(iv)(b) (it being understood, however, that the Requisite Lenders may waive, in whole or in part, any such prepayment, repayment or commitment reduction, so long as the application, as amongst the various Classes, of any such prepayment, repayment or commitment reduction which is still required to be made is not altered), (7) without the consent

136

of the Requisite Class Lenders of the respective Class affected thereby, amend the definition of Requisite Class Lenders (it being understood that, with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Requisite Class Lenders on substantially the same basis as the extensions of Loans and Commitments are included on the Closing Date), or (8) without the written consent of the Requisite Class Lenders of Revolving Loans and/or Revolving Loan Commitments, amend, modify or waive any condition precedent set forth in Section 4 with respect to the making of Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit. This Section 10.6 and the other voting-related provisions in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are subject to the terms of Section 2.13B.

B. If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of or to any of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by clauses (i) through (v), inclusive, of the first proviso to Section 10.6A, the consent of the Requisite Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then Company shall have the right, so long as all non-consenting Lenders whose individual consent is required are treated as described in either clause (a) or (b) below, to either (a) replace each such non-consenting Lender or Lenders (or, at the option of Company, if the respective Lender’s consent is required with respect to less than all Loans (or related Commitments), to replace only the Revolving Loan Commitments and/or Loans of the respective non-consenting Lender which gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender’s individual consent) with one or more Replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 2.10 so long as at the time of such replacement, each such Replacement Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination or (b) terminate such non-consenting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment (if such Lender’s consent is required as a result of its Revolving Loan Commitment) and/or repay all outstanding Loans of such Lender which gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender’s consent and/or cash collateralize its applicable Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Usage, in accordance with Section 2.4B(v), provided that unless the Commitments which are terminated and Loans which are repaid pursuant to preceding clause (b) are immediately replaced in full at such time through the addition of new Lenders or the increase of the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of existing Lenders (who in each case must specifically consent thereto), then in the case of any action pursuant to preceding clause (b), the Requisite Lenders (determined after giving effect to the proposed action) shall specifically consent thereto, provided further, that Company shall not have the right to replace a Lender, terminate its Commitment or repay its Loans solely as a result of the exercise of such Lender’s rights (and the withholding of any required consent by such Lender) pursuant to the second proviso to Section 10.6A.

C. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) any provision of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by Company, the Requisite Lenders and Administrative Agent (and, if their rights or obligations are affected thereby, each Issuing Lender and the Swing Line Lender) if (i) by the terms of such agreement the Commitment of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided for therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment and (ii) at the time such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives payment (including pursuant to an assignment to a Replacement Lender in accordance with Section 10.1) in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account

137

under this Agreement and (y) this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Requisite Lenders, Administrative Agent and Company (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans and the Revolving Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Requisite Lenders.

D. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of Administrative Agent, Company and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Term Loans (the “Refinanced Term Loans”), with a replacement term loan tranche denominated in Dollars (the “Replacement Term Loans”) respectively, hereunder; provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans, (b) the Applicable Margins for such Replacement Term Loans shall not be higher than the Applicable Margins for such Refinanced Term Loans, (c) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans, at the time of such refinancing (except to the extent of nominal amortization for periods where amortization has been eliminated as a result of prepayment of the applicable Term Loans), and (d) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Term Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than, those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the latest final maturity of the Term Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing.

E. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.1A, Company, Administrative Agent and each Incremental Term Loan Lender and each Incremental RL Lender may, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.11 or 2.12, as the case may be, enter into an Incremental Loan Commitment Agreement, provided that after the execution and delivery by the respective Company, Administrative Agent and each such Lender party to such Incremental Loan Commitment Agreement, such Incremental Loan Commitment Agreement may thereafter only be modified in accordance with the requirements this Section 10.6A.

10.7 Notices. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be in writing (including telecopier) and may be personally served, telecopied or sent by United States mail or courier service and shall be deemed to have been given when deposited in the mails, delivered in person or to the courier or sent by telecopier; provided that notices and communications to Administrative Agent and Company shall not be effective until received by Administrative Agent or Company, as the case may be. For the purposes hereof, the address of each party hereto shall be as set forth under such party’s name on the signature pages hereof or (i) as to Administrative Agent, at the Notice Office or at such other address as shall be designated by Administrative Agent in a written notice delivered to the other parties hereto and (ii) as to each other party, such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice delivered to Administrative Agent.

10.9 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document and no course of dealing between Company or any other Loan Party and Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be or operate as a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies which Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, and Issuing Lender or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Loan Party in any case shall entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

10.10 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Company or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that Company makes a payment or payments to Administrative Agent or Lenders (or to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders), or Administrative Agent or Lenders enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

10.11 Severability. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement or the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

139

10.12 Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitments of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

10.13 Headings. Section and Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, IN EACH CASE WHICH ARE LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS.

COMPANY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO COMPANY AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH OPPOSITE ITS SIGNATURE BELOW, SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE 30 DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING. COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS AND FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS WAS IN ANY WAY INVALID OR INEFFECTIVE. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE HOLDER OF ANY NOTE TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST COMPANY IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

10.15 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and assigns of Lenders (it being understood that Lenders’ rights of assignment are subject to Section 10.1). None of Company’s rights or obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents nor any interest therein may be assigned or delegated by Company without the prior written consent of all Lenders.

10.16 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to Company. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

10.17 Confidentiality. Each Lender shall hold all non-public information obtained pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement which has been identified as confidential by Company in accordance with such Lender’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices, it being understood and agreed by Company that in any event a Lender may make (i) disclosures to Affiliates of such Lender and their respective employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors, (ii) disclosures reasonably required by any bona fide assignee, transferee or participant and their respective investment advisers in connection with the contemplated assignment or transfer by such Lender of any Loans or any participations therein,

141

(iii) disclosures required or requested by any governmental agency or representative thereof, or the NAIC, (iv) disclosures required to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 10.17), (v) disclosures pursuant to legal process or as required pursuant to applicable law or (vi) disclosures to any other Person with the prior written consent of Company and Administrative Agent in the exercise of their respective sole discretion; provided that, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender shall notify Company of any request by any governmental agency or representative thereof or the NAIC (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition of such Lender by such governmental agency or the NAIC) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information; and provided, further that in no event shall any Lender be obligated or required to return any materials furnished by Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

10.18 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto or in connection herewith may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by Company and Administrative Agent of written or telephonic notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof.

10.19 Judgment Currency.

A. Currency Conversion Rate. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in any currency (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Other Currency”), the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures Administrative Agent could purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

B. Discharge of Judgment. The obligations of Company in respect of any sum due from it to Lenders hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in such Other Currency, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Other Currency, Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency; if the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to Lenders in the Original Currency, Company agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify Lenders against such loss, and if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to Lenders in the Original Currency, Lenders shall remit such excess to Company.

142

10.20 Domicile of Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any office, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that a transfer of Loans pursuant to this Section 10.20 would, at the time of such transfer, result in increased costs under Section 2.6, 2.7 or 3.6 from those being charged by the respective Lender prior to such transfer, then Company shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although Company shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective transfer).
