WHEREAS, pursuant to a Credit Agreement dated as of November 18, 2004 between the Borrower and the Bank (the “SELOC Facility”), the Bank has issued for the account of the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries and there remain outstanding certain letters of credit all of which are described on Schedule 3.01(b) attached hereto (the “Outstanding Letters of Credit”).

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Bank issue letters of credit for the account of the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries in an aggregate amount not exceeding $135,000,000, and the Bank is prepared to issue such letters of credit upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

“Applicable Percentage” means, for purposes of calculating Letter of Credit Fees and the Commitment Fee (a) from the Effective Date through the date on which the Bank receives the financial statements satisfying the requirements of Section 7.10(a) and a certificate pursuant to Section 7.10(d) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, the applicable percentage set forth below in Pricing Level III, and (b) thereafter, the applicable percentage set forth below opposite the Applicable LT Rating:

V	below BBB-/Baa3	1.750%	0.375%

For purposes of the foregoing, (i) if the Applicable LT Ratings established by Moody’s and S&P are different but correspond to consecutive Pricing Levels, then the pricing will be based on the higher Applicable LT Rating (e.g., if Moody’s Applicable LT Rating corresponds to Level I and S&P’s Applicable LT Rating corresponds to Level II, then the pricing will be based on Level I), and (ii) if the Applicable LT Ratings established by Moody’s and S&P’s are more than one Pricing Level apart, then the pricing will be based on the rating which is one level higher than the lower rating (e.g., if Moody’s and S&P’s Applicable LT Ratings corresponds to pricing Level I and IV, respectively, then the pricing will be based on pricing Level III). The Applicable Percentage shall be adjusted on the date five (5) Business Days after the date of any change in the Applicable LT Ratings (each such adjustment date a “Rate Determination Date”).

4.02 Illegality. If the Issuing Bank shall determine that the introduction of any Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or administration thereof, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for the Issuing Bank or any other relevant Lending Office to issue Letters of Credit, then, on notice thereof by the Issuing Bank to the Borrower, the obligation of the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit, as the case may be, shall be suspended until the Issuing Bank shall have notified the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. The Issuing Bank shall immediately notify the Borrower of any such event.

4.03 Increased Costs and Reduction of Return.

(a) If the Issuing Bank shall determine that, due to either (i) the introduction of any Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or administration thereof or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to the Issuing Bank or any Lending Office of agreeing to issue or issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit, then the Borrower shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, upon written request therefor by the Issuing Bank, pay to the Issuing Bank additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate the Issuing Bank or such Lending Office for such increased costs.

(b) If the Issuing Bank shall have determined that (i) the introduction of any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (iv) compliance by the Issuing Bank (or other relevant Lending Office) or any corporation controlling the Issuing Bank, with any Capital Adequacy Regulation affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by the Issuing Bank, any Lending Office or any corporation controlling the Issuing Bank and (taking into consideration the Issuing Bank’s and such controlling corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and the Issuing Bank’s desired return on capital) determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a consequence of Letters of Credit issued or maintained by the Issuing Bank under this Agreement, then, upon written request of the Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Issuing Bank or the relevant Lending Office, from time to time as specified by the Issuing Bank, additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Issuing Bank or such Lending Office for such increase.

(c) The Issuing Bank will notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the date hereof which will entitle the Issuing Bank or any Lending Office to compensation from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.03 as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation, and will designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation. If the Issuing Bank requests compensation under this Section 4.03, the Borrower may, by notice to the Issuing Bank, require that the Issuing Bank furnish to the Borrower a statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof.

4.04 Certificate of the Issuing Bank. If claiming reimbursement or compensation pursuant to this Article IV, the Issuing Bank shall deliver to the Borrower a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to the Issuing Bank or any relevant Lending Office hereunder, and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error.

6.14 Environmental Matters. In the ordinary course of its business, the Borrower conducts an ongoing review of the effect of Environmental Laws and laws relating to occupational safety and health on the business, operations and properties of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated liabilities and costs (including any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up, closure or restoration of properties presently or previously owned, any capital or operating expenditures required to achieve or maintain compliance with environmental protection and occupational health and safety standards imposed by law or as a condition of any license, permit or contract, any related constraints on operating activities, including any periodic or permanent shutdown of any facility or reduction in the level of or change in the nature of operations conducted thereat and any actual or potential liabilities to third parties, including employees, and any related costs and expenses).

6.15 Priority of Debt. Each Credit Party hereby represents and warrants that all Debt created under this Agreement for which it is or may be liable ranks pari passu with all other Debt for borrowed money which such person owes or may be liable for to any Person other than the Bank.

9.01 Guaranty of Payment. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Bank the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise) of all Obligations. Any such payment shall be made at such place and in the same currency as such relevant Obligation is payable.

9.02 Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantors hereunder are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor. Each Guarantor agrees that this guaranty may be enforced by the Bank without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any security or collateral and without the necessity at any time of having recourse to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any collateral, if any, hereafter securing the Obligations or otherwise and each Guarantor hereby waives the right to require the Bank to proceed against any other Guarantor or any other Person (including a co-guarantor) or to require the Bank to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right.

Each Guarantor further agrees that nothing contained herein shall prevent the Bank from suing in any jurisdiction on this Agreement or any other Loan Document or foreclosing its security interest in or Lien on any collateral, if any, securing the Obligations or from exercising any other rights available to it under this Agreement or any instrument of security, if any, and the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights and the completion of any foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of any Guarantor's obligations hereunder; it being the purpose and intent of each Guarantor that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Neither a Guarantor's obligations under this guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever (i) by an impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of any other Guarantor, (ii) by reason of the bankruptcy or insolvency of such other Guarantor, (iii) by reason of the application of the laws of any foreign jurisdiction or (iv) by reason of the location of such other Guarantor in any foreign jurisdiction. Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance of by the Bank upon this guaranty or acceptance of this guaranty. The Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this guaranty. All dealings between the Borrower and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Bank, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this guaranty.

9.03 Modifications. Each Guarantor agrees that (a) all or any part of the security which hereafter may be held for the Obligations, if any, may be exchanged, compromised or surrendered from time to time; (b) the Bank shall not have any obligation to protect, perfect,

secure or insure any such security interests or Liens which hereafter may be held, if any, for the Obligations or the properties subject thereto; (c) the time or place of payment of the Obligations may be changed or extended, in whole or in part, to a time certain or otherwise, and may be renewed or accelerated, in whole or in part; (d) the Borrower and any other party liable for payment under this Agreement may be granted indulgences generally; (e) any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be modified, amended or waived; (f) any party (including any co-guarantor) liable for the payment thereof may be granted indulgences or be released; and (g) any deposit balance for the credit of the Borrower or any other party liable for the payment of the Obligations or liable upon any security therefor may be released, in whole or in part, at, before or after the stated, extended or accelerated maturity of the Obligations, all without notice to or further assent by such Guarantor, which shall remain bound thereon, notwithstanding any such exchange, compromise, surrender, extension, renewal, acceleration, modification, indulgence or release.

9.04 Waiver of Rights. Each Guarantor expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (a) notice of acceptance of this guaranty by the Bank and of all Letters of Credit issued by the Bank; (b) presentment and demand for payment or performance of any of the Obligations; (c) protest and notice of dishonor or of default (except as specifically required in this Agreement) with respect to the Obligations or with respect to any security therefor; (d) notice of the Bank obtaining, amending, substituting for, releasing, waiving or modifying any Lien, if any, hereafter securing the Obligations, or the Bank’s subordinating, compromising, discharging or releasing such Liens, if any; (e) all other notices to which the Borrower might otherwise be entitled in connection with the guaranty evidenced by this Article IX; and (f) demand for payment under this guaranty.

9.05 Reinstatement. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Article IX shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Bank on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Bank in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

9.06 Remedies. Each Guarantor agrees that, as between such Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Bank, on the other hand, the Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 10.02 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 10.02) notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing such Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or such Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor.

9.07 Limitation of Guaranty. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, to the extent the obligations of any Guarantor shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under Applicable Law (whether federal or state and including, without limitation, the Federal Bankruptcy Code.

9.08 Termination of Guaranty Upon Divestiture.

proceeding related to this Agreement or the Letters of Credit, or the use of the proceeds thereof, whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, the Borrower shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Person with respect to any Indemnified Liability to the extent that such Indemnified Liability is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person.

(b) The obligations in this Section 11.05 shall survive payment of all other Obligations. At the election of the Borrower, the Borrower shall defend such Indemnified Person using legal counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Person in such Person’s sole discretion, at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower, provided that no conflict between the interests of the Bank and the Borrower exists with respect to the Indemnified Liabilities, and provided, further that the Borrower may not settle any Indemnified Liability without the consent of such Indemnified Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; Borrower agrees that such Indemnified Person may withhold such consent if such settlement (i) does not include an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability or claims that are the subject of such Indemnified Liability, and (ii) includes any statement as to any admission). All amounts owing under this Section 11.05 shall be paid within 30 days after demand.

(c) If any sum due from a Credit Party under this Agreement or another Loan Document or under any order or judgment given or made in relation hereto or thereto has to be converted from the currency (the “first currency”) in which the same is payable hereunder or thereunder or under such order or judgment into another currency (the “second currency”) for the purpose of (i) making or filing a claim or proof against such Credit Party with any Governmental Authority or in any court or tribunal or (ii) enforcing any order or judgment given or made in relation hereto, the Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Persons to whom such sum is due from and against any loss actually suffered as a result of any discrepancy between (a) the rate of exchange used to convert the amount in question from the first currency into the second currency and (b) the rate or rates of exchange at which such Person, acting in good faith in a commercially reasonable manner, purchased the first currency with the second currency after receipt of a sum paid to it in the second currency in satisfaction, in whole or in part, of any such order, judgment, claim or proof. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate obligation of each Credit Party distinct from its other obligations hereunder and shall survive the giving or making of any judgment or order in relation to all or any of such other obligations.

11.06 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Bank and any assignment by the Bank must be in compliance with Section 11.07.

Nothing herein shall restrict or require the consent of any Person to the pledge by the Bank of all or any portion of its rights and interests hereunder or any Loan Document to any Federal Reserve Bank, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge in any manner permitted by applicable law.

11.08 Confidentiality. The Bank agrees to take normal and reasonable precautions and exercise due care to maintain the confidentiality of all non-public information provided to it by any Guarantor, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries, in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall use any such information for any purpose or in any manner other than pursuant to the terms contemplated by this Agreement, except to the extent such information (i) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Bank, or (ii) was or becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than a Guarantor or the Borrower, provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with such Guarantor or the Borrower to the knowledge of the Bank; provided further, however that the Bank may disclose such information (A) at the request or pursuant to any requirement of any Governmental Authority to which the Bank is subject or in connection with an examination of the Bank by any such authority; (B) pursuant to subpoena or other court process; (C) when required to do so in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Requirement of Law; and (D) to the Bank’s independent auditors and other professional advisors.

11.09 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement in any number of separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall

be deemed an original, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute but one and the same instrument.

11.10 Severability. The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder.
