The Company (on its behalf and on behalf of any other Borrower) may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to LIBOR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least three London Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor), provided that no ABR Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Banks have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank thereof.

(b) Any LIBOR Loan or EURIBOR Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Company (on its behalf and on behalf of any other Borrower) giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1 and Section 2.2, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, provided that no such Loan may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Banks have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations, and provided, further, that if the Company shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso any such LIBOR Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period and any such EURIBOR Loans shall be automatically converted to Euro Reference Rate Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank thereof.

SECTION 2.13 General Provisions as to Payments.

(a) The Borrowers shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and of fees hereunder, without deduction, set-off, defense, recoupment or counterclaim, not later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the date when due, in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at its address specified in or pursuant to Section 11.1. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Bank its ratable share of each such payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the ABR Loans or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Domestic Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Domestic Business Day, unless such Domestic Business Day occurs after the Termination Date, in which case the date for payment then shall be the next preceding Domestic Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the LIBOR Loans shall be due on a day which is not a London Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding London Business Day unless such London Business Day falls in another calendar month, or occurs after the Termination Date, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding London Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the EURIBOR Loans or Euro Reference Rate Loans shall be due on a day which is not a TARGET Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding TARGET Day unless such TARGET Day falls in another calendar month, or occurs after the Termination Date, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding TARGET Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time. All amounts owing under this Agreement (excluding principal of, and interest on, any Loan denominated in an Agreed Currency other than Dollars or payments relating to any such Loan required under Section 2.14, which are payable in such Agreed Currency) are payable in Dollars.

- 19 -

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due from such Borrower to the Banks hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Bank. If and to the extent that such Borrower shall not have so made such payment, each Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate or, if such amount relates to a EURIBOR Borrowing, at the Euro Reference Rate.

SECTION 2.14 Funding Losses. If (i) a Borrower makes any payment of principal with respect to any LIBOR Loan or EURIBOR Loan (pursuant to Article VI or VIII or otherwise) on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) a Borrower fails to borrow any LIBOR Loan or EURIBOR Loan after notice has been given to any Bank in accordance with Section 2.4(a) or fails to prepay in accordance with a notice of prepayment under Section 2.11 or (iii) the Company requires a Bank to assign its rights with respect to any LIBOR Loan or EURIBOR Loan to a Substitute Bank pursuant to Section 8.6 on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Company shall reimburse each Bank within 15 days after demand for any resulting loss or expense incurred by it (or by an existing or prospective Participant in the related Loan), including (without limitation) any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, but excluding loss of margin for the period after any such payment, failure to borrow or required assignment, provided that such Bank shall have delivered to the Company a certificate setting forth the amount of such loss or expense and showing in reasonable detail how such amount was calculated, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

SECTION 2.15 Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest based on any “Prime Lending Rate” or the Federal Funds Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All other interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

SECTION 2.16 Regulation D Compensation. Each Bank may require each Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans made to such Borrower, additional interest on the relevant LIBOR Loan or EURIBOR Loan of such Bank to such Borrower at a rate per annum determined by such Bank up to but not exceeding the excess of (i) (A) the applicable LIBO Rate or EURIBOR Rate divided by (B) one minus the Reserve Percentage over (ii) the applicable LIBO Rate or EURIBOR Rate. Any Bank wishing to require payment of such additional interest (x) shall so notify such Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in which case such additional interest on the LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans of such Bank to such Borrower shall be payable to such Bank at the place indicated in such notice with respect to each Interest Period commencing at least three London Business Days or TARGET Days, as applicable, after the giving of such notice and (y) shall notify such Borrower, at least five London Business Days or TARGET Days, as applicable, prior to each date on which interest is payable on LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans made to such Borrower, of the amount then due to such Bank under this Section 2.16. Each Bank confirms that, as of the date hereof, the Reserve Percentage is zero.

SECTION 2.17 Judgment Currency. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from any Borrower hereunder or under any of the Notes in an Agreed Currency into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase such Agreed Currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s office on the Domestic Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligations of each Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Bank or the Administrative

- 20 -

Agent hereunder or under any Note shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than an Agreed Currency, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Domestic Business Day following receipt by such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase such Agreed Currency with such other currency. If the amount of an Agreed Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in such Agreed Currency, the Borrowers agree, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to jointly and severally indemnify such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of such Agreed Currency so purchased exceeds the sum of (a) the amount originally due to such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and (b) any amounts shared with other Banks as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Bank under Section 11.4, such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to the relevant Borrower.

SECTION 2.18 Foreign Subsidiary Costs.

(a) If the cost to any Bank of making or maintaining any Loan to an Eligible Subsidiary is increased, or the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) is reduced by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, by reason of the fact that such Eligible Subsidiary is incorporated in or organized under the laws of, or conducts business in, a jurisdiction outside the United States, such Eligible Subsidiary shall indemnify such Bank for such increased cost or reduction within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy of such demand being delivered to the Administrative Agent). A certificate of such Bank, claiming compensation under this subsection (a), setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and showing in reasonable detail how such amount or amounts were calculated, shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(b) Each Bank will promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge that will entitle such Bank to additional interest or payments pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 2.18 and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if, in the judgment of such Bank, such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

SECTION 2.19 Eligible Subsidiaries.

(a) The Company may from time to time upon not less than five (5) Domestic Business Days notice cause any Wholly-Owned Consolidated Subsidiary to become eligible to borrow under Section 2.1 by delivering to the Administrative Agent an Election to Participate with respect to such Subsidiary. Following the delivery of an Election to Participate, if such election obligates the Administrative Agent or any Bank to comply with “know your customer” or similar identification procedures in circumstances where the necessary information is not already available to it, the Company shall, promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Bank, supply such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Bank in order for the Administrative Agent or such Bank to carry out and be satisfied it has complied with the results of all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations. The eligibility of any such Subsidiary to borrow under said Sections shall terminate when the Administrative Agent receives an Election to Terminate with respect to such Subsidiary. Each Election to Participate delivered to the Administrative Agent shall be duly executed on behalf of the relevant Subsidiary and the Company, and each Election to Terminate delivered to the Administrative Agent shall be duly executed on behalf of the Company, in such number of copies as the Administrative Agent may request. The delivery of an Election to Terminate shall not affect any obligation of the relevant Subsidiary theretofore incurred. The Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) give notice to the Banks of its receipt of any

- 21 -

Election to Participate or Election to Terminate and (ii) provide such Election to Participate or Election to Terminate to each Bank.

If the Company shall deliver an Election to Participate with respect to any Subsidiary not organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, any Bank may, with notice to the Administrative Agent and the Company, fulfill its Commitment by causing an Affiliate of such Bank to act as the Bank in respect of such Eligible Subsidiary (and such Bank shall, to the extent of Loans made to such Borrower, be deemed for all purposes hereof to have pro tanto assigned such Loans to such Affiliate in compliance with the provisions of Section 11.6; provided that such Bank shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such deemed assignment).

(b) If (i) an Eligible Subsidiary at any time ceases to be an Eligible Subsidiary (by reason of an Election to Terminate being delivered to the Administrative Agent, by reason of such Subsidiary no longer being a Wholly-Owned Consolidated Subsidiary or otherwise) or (ii) an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(g) or 6.1(h) occurs with respect to an Eligible Subsidiary:

(x) the Banks will have no obligation to make any further Loans to such Subsidiary, and

(y) the Company will inform each Bank of the relevant event described in clause (i) or (ii) of this subsection (b) within 3 Domestic Business Days after it occurs and, within 30 days after being requested to do so by any Bank, will purchase from such Bank its outstanding Loans to the relevant Subsidiary at a price equal to the unpaid principal amount of such Loans plus interest accrued thereon to the date of such purchase and, if such purchase does not occur on the last day of an Interest Period, an amount sufficient to reimburse such Bank for any funding losses, calculated as provided in Section 2.14 as if such Loans had been prepaid on the date of such purchase.

SECTION 2.20 Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided herein, (a) the Loans shall be made, and any reduction of Commitments shall be made, pro rata according to the respective amounts of the Commitments; (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of the Loans shall be made for account of the Banks pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Loans held by them; and (c) each payment of interest on the Loans shall be made for account of the Banks pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts of interest on the Loans then due and payable to them.

- 25 -

maintain compliance with environmental protection standards imposed by law or as a condition of any license, permit or contract, related constraints on operating activities, including the periodic or permanent shutdown of a facility or reduction in the level of or change in the nature of operations conducted thereat, costs or liabilities in connection with off-site disposal of wastes or Hazardous Substances, and actual or potential liabilities to third parties, including employees, and related costs and expenses). On the basis of such reviews, the Company has reasonably concluded that such associated liabilities and costs, including the costs of compliance with Environmental Laws, are unlikely to have a Material Adverse Effect other than as disclosed in the Information Documents.

The Company has disclosed to the Banks in writing any and all facts which have a Material Adverse Effect (or with respect to which, in the Company’s good-faith opinion, a reasonable possibility exists that they may have a Material Adverse Effect).

Each Bank irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as administrative agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the Notes as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Banks, and no Borrower shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

SECTION 7.2 Administrative Agent and Affiliates. MSSF shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Bank under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 7.3 Action by Administrative Agent. The obligations of the Administrative Agent hereunder are only those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Banks (or Majority Banks, as expressly provided for herein), provided that the

SECTION 7.4 Reliance by the Administrative Agent; Consultation with Experts; Delegation of Duties.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon and shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement, or other writing (which may be a bank wire, facsimile transmission or similar writing, other electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Bank prior to the making of such Loan.

(b) The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

(c) The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall be responsible for all actions taken by each such sub-agent (but only to the extent that the Administrative Agent would have been responsible if such actions had been in fact taken by the Administrative Agent). The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective affiliates, directors, officers, agents or employees. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the affiliates, directors, officers, agents or employees of the Administrative Agent and any sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

SECTION 7.5 Liability of Administrative Agent.

SECTION 7.6 Indemnification. The Banks agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent or any of its sub-agents (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers) ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments (or, if the Commitments have been terminated or are no longer in effect, ratably in accordance with the aggregate principal amount of the Loans held by the Banks), for any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses of any kind and nature whatsoever (including without limitation reasonable legal fees and expenses) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses that the Borrowers are obligated to pay under Section 11.3, but excluding, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, normal administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance of its agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Bank shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The obligations of the Banks hereunder are several and not joint, and the failure of any Bank to make any payment hereunder on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Bank of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to so make its payment hereunder.

SECTION 7.7 Credit Decision. Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.

SECTION 7.8 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Banks and the Company. Upon any such resignation, the Required Banks shall have the right, after consultation with the Company, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 90 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and the Banks that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving notice of such resignation and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Notes and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Bank directly, until such time as the Required Banks appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.3 shall continue in effect and inure to the benefit of the retiring Administrative Agent and its sub-agents in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

SECTION 7.9 Defaults. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default (other than a failure to make a payment of principal of or interest on the Loans) unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Bank or the

- 36 -

Company specifying such Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. The Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 7.10) take such action with respect to such Default as shall be directed by the Required Banks, provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Banks except to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires that such action be taken, or not be taken, only with the consent or upon the authorization of the Majority Banks, the Required Banks or all of the Banks.

SECTION 7.10 Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required of the Administrative Agent hereunder (subject to Section 7.3), the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from the Banks of their indemnification obligations under Section 7.6 against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

ARTICLE VIII
CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

SECTION 8.1 Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any LIBOR Borrowing or EURIBOR Borrowing:

(a) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Majority Banks that deposits in Dollars or Euros, as applicable (in each case, in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to such Banks in the relevant market for such principal amount and Interest Period; or

(b) Banks having 50% or more of the aggregate amount of the Commitments advise the Administrative Agent that the LIBO Rate or EURIBO Rate, as determined by the Administrative

- 37 -

Agent, will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks of funding their LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans for such Interest Period;

the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Company and the Banks, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligations of the Banks to make LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans, as applicable, shall be suspended. Unless the relevant Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent at least two Domestic Business Days before the date of any LIBOR Borrowing or EURIBOR Borrowing for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously been given that it elects not to borrow on such date, such LIBOR Borrowing shall instead be made as an ABR Borrowing and such EURIBOR Borrowing shall instead be made as a Euro Reference Rate Borrowing.

SECTION 8.2 Illegality. If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its LIBOR Lending Office or EURIBOR Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Bank (or its LIBOR Lending Office or EURIBOR Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans to any Borrower and such Bank shall so notify the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Banks and the relevant Borrower, whereupon until such Bank notifies the relevant Borrower and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of the relevant Bank to make LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans, as applicable, to such Borrower shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.2, such Bank shall designate a different LIBOR Lending Office or EURIBOR Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. If such Bank shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund any of its outstanding LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans to the relevant Borrower to maturity and shall so specify in such notice, such Borrower shall immediately prepay in full the then outstanding principal amount of each such LIBOR Loan or EURIBOR Loan, together with accrued interest thereon. Concurrently with prepaying each such LIBOR Loan or EURIBOR Loan, such Borrower shall borrow an ABR Loan or a Euro Reference Rate Loan, as applicable, in an equal principal amount from such Bank (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans of the other Banks), and such Bank shall make such ABR Loan or Euro Reference Rate Loan.

SECTION 8.3 Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

(a) If on or after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding with respect to any LIBOR Loan or EURIBOR Loan, any such requirement with respect to which such Bank is entitled to compensation during the relevant Interest Period under Section 2.16), special deposit, insurance assessment or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or shall impose on any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the United States market for certificates of deposit or the London interbank market any other condition affecting its LIBOR Loans, its EURIBOR Loans, its Notes or its obligation to make LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making or maintaining any LIBOR Loan or EURIBOR Loans

- 38 -

to any Borrower, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or under its Notes with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy of such demand to be delivered to the Administrative Agent), the Company shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduction.

(b) If any Bank shall have determined that, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any such law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Bank (or its Parent) as a consequence of such Bank’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy of such demand to be delivered to the Administrative Agent), the Company shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank (or its Parent) for such reduction.

(c) Each Bank will promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 8.3 and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. A certificate of any Bank claiming compensation under this Section 8.3 and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

SECTION 8.4 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by any Borrower to or for the account of any Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Bank and the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Bank, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise or similar taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of such Bank’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note to any Bank or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 8.4) such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) such Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address specified in or pursuant to Section 11.1, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof

(b) In addition, each Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made by it hereunder or under any of its Notes or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

- 39 -

(c) Each Borrower agrees to indemnify each Bank and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 8.4) paid by such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes demand therefor, setting forth a complete explanation and calculation thereof. If any such indemnification is made, such Bank will, at the Company’s reasonable request and expense, contest such Taxes and Other Taxes in good faith; provided that such Bank shall not be required to continue any such contest if in the opinion of its counsel there is both (i) a reasonable doubt that such contest will be successful and (ii) a reasonable possibility that the continuation thereof will adversely affect the resolution of other tax issues affecting such Bank. If any such contest is successful, such Bank will remit to the relevant Borrower the amount recovered (but not more than the amount of the indemnification paid by such Borrower).

(d) Each Bank organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Bank listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank in the case of each other Bank, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by any Borrower (but only so long as such Bank remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide the Administrative Agent, the Company, and, as applicable, such requesting Borrower with Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Bank is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of U.S. withholding tax on payments of interest or certifying that the interest income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States. If the form provided by a Bank at the time such Bank first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from “Taxes” as defined in Section 8.4(a).

(e) For any period with respect to which a Bank has failed to provide the Company, a requesting Borrower (if applicable), or the Administrative Agent with the appropriate form pursuant to Section 8.4(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Bank shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 8.4(a) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however, that should a Bank, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the relevant Borrower shall take such steps as such Bank shall reasonably request to assist such Bank to recover such Taxes.

(f) If any Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Bank pursuant to this Section 8.4, then such Bank will change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue if such change, in the judgment of such Bank, is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

SECTION 8.5 Substituted Basis for Affected LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans. If (i) the obligation of any Bank to make LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans to any Borrower has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.2 or (ii) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.3 or 8.4 from any Borrower with respect to its LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans (or if any Bank shall incur any MCR Cost pursuant to Exhibit G) and such Borrower shall, by at least five London Business Days’ prior notice to such Bank through the Administrative Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section 8.5 shall apply to such Bank, then, unless and until such Bank notifies such Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist:

(a) all Loans of such Bank to such Borrower which would otherwise be made by such Bank as LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans shall be made instead as ABR Loans or Euro Reference

- 40 -

Rate Loans, as applicable (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans of the other Banks), and

(b) after each of its LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans to such Borrower has been repaid, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to repay such LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans shall be applied to repay its ABR Loans or Euro Reference Rate Loans instead.

SECTION 8.6 Substitution of Bank. If (i) the obligation of any Bank to make LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.2, (ii) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.3 or 8.4 (or if any Bank shall incur any MCR Cost pursuant to Exhibit G), or (iii) if any Bank is a Defaulting Bank, the Company shall have the right, with the assistance of the Administrative Agent, to seek a mutually satisfactory substitute bank or banks (“Substitute Banks”) (which may be one or more of the Banks) to purchase the Loans and assume the Commitment of such Bank (the “Exiting Bank”). The Exiting Bank shall, upon reasonable notice and payment to it of the purchase price agreed between it and the Substitute Bank or Banks (or, failing such agreement, a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of its Loans and interest accrued thereon to but excluding the date of payment), assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes (including its Commitment and the Loans made by it) to the Substitute Bank or Banks, and the Substitute Bank or Banks shall assume such rights and obligations, in accordance with Section 11.6. In connection with any such sale, the relevant Borrowers shall compensate the Exiting Bank for any funding losses as provided in Section 2.14 and the Company shall pay to the Exiting Bank its facility fee accrued to but excluding the date of such sale.

SECTION 10.3 Discharge Only Upon Payment In Full; Reinstatement In Certain Circumstances. The Company’s obligations under this Article X shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments shall have terminated and the principal of and interest on the Loans of each Eligible Subsidiary and all other amounts payable by each Eligible Subsidiary under this Agreement shall have been paid in full.

SECTION 11.3 Expenses; Indemnification; Waiver.

(a) Costs and Expenses. The Company shall pay (i) all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of special

(b) Indemnification by Borrowers. The Borrowers agree jointly and severally to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Bank and each Joint Lead Arranger, their respective affiliates and the respective directors, officers, agents and employees of the foregoing (each an “Indemnitee”) and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, claims, losses, damages, costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, which may be incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with any actual or prospective claim, investigation, or administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto) brought or threatened relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Notes or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) only, the administration of this Agreement and the Notes, or any actual or proposed use of proceeds of Loans hereunder, or the enforcement of rights under this Section 11.3(b); provided that no Indemnitee shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for (i) such Indemnitee’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final nonappealable judgment, (ii) any breach by such Indemnitee of a contract between such Indemnitee and a third party, (iii) any misrepresentation by such Indemnitee to a third party, except to the extent that such misrepresentation is based on information supplied by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (iv) any claim by any Bank against the Administrative Agent or another Bank, or any claim by the Administrative Agent against any Bank, except to the extent that such claim is based on actions taken or not taken in reliance on information supplied or actions taken by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (v) any settlement of any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding entered into without the consent of the Company, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. At its own expense, each Borrower shall have the right to participate in (but not control) the defense of any action with respect to which it may have an indemnity obligation hereunder. The Borrowers shall not assert any claim against the Administrative Agent or any Bank, any of their respective affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents, on any theory of liability, for consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the actual or proposed use of any Loan.

SECTION 11.4 Set-Off; Sharing of Payments.

(a) Without limiting any of the obligations of the Borrowers or the rights of the Banks hereunder, if any Borrower shall fail to pay when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any amount payable by it hereunder or under any Note, each Bank may, without prior notice to such Borrower (which notice is expressly waived by it to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law), set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in any currency, matured or unmatured) and other obligations and liabilities at any time held or owing by such Bank or any of its Affiliates or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or account of such Borrower. Each Bank shall promptly provide notice of such set-off to such Borrower, provided that failure by such Bank to provide such notice shall not give any Borrower any cause of action or right to damages or affect the validity of such set-off and application.

(b) If any Bank shall obtain from any Borrower payment of any principal of or interest on a Loan or payment of any other amount under this Agreement or any Note through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise (other than from the Administrative Agent as provided herein), and, as a result of such payment, such Bank shall have received a percentage of the principal of or interest on such Loan or such other amounts then due

- 44 -

hereunder by such Borrower to such Bank in excess of its pro rata share thereof, it shall promptly purchase from such other Banks participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Bank, direct interests in) the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to such other Banks (or in interest due thereon, as the case may be) in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time, as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Banks shall share the benefit of such excess payment (net of any expenses that may be incurred by such Bank in obtaining or preserving such excess payment) pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal of and/or interest on the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to each of the Banks. To such end all the Banks shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.

(c) Nothing contained herein shall require any Bank to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Bank to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of any Borrower.

SECTION 11.5 Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement or the Notes may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Company and by the Required Banks and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent; provided, that no such amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by all the Banks (i) extend, increase (including reinstating a terminated or expired Commitment) or decrease the Commitment of any Bank (except for a ratable decrease in the Commitments of all Banks) or subject any Bank to any additional obligation, (ii) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder; provided, however, that only the consent of the Required Banks and the Company shall be necessary to amend the rate of interest described in Section 2.7(e), (iii) postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder or for the termination of any Commitment, (iv) change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans, or the number of Banks, which shall be required for the Banks or any of them to take any action under this Section 11.5 or any other provision of this Agreement or (v) release the Company from any of its obligations as guarantor under Section 10.1; and provided further that no such amendment, waiver or modification shall, unless signed by an Eligible Subsidiary, (w) subject such Eligible Subsidiary to any additional obligation, (x) increase the principal of or rate of interest on any outstanding Loan of such Eligible Subsidiary, (y) accelerate the stated maturity of any outstanding Loan of such Eligible Subsidiary or (z) change this proviso.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to each Banks, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. Further notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Bank shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Bank may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Bank.

SECTION 11.6 Successors and Assigns.

(a) 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 (i) no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all Banks, and (ii) no Bank may assign or transfer any of its rights under this Agreement except in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.6.

(b) Any Bank may at any time grant to one or more banks or other institutions (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its Commitment or any or all of its Loans. In the event of any such grant by a Bank of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, such Bank shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

- 45 -

Any agreement pursuant to which any Bank may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such participation agreement may provide that such Bank will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 11.5 without the consent of the Participant. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall, to the extent provided in its participation agreement, be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 and Article VIII with respect to its participating interest. An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection (c) or (d) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this subsection (b).

(c) Any Bank may at any time assign to one or more banks or other institutions (each an “Assignee”) all, or a proportionate part of all, of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes, and each such Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations (or a proportionate part thereof), pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit F hereto (each, an “Assignment and Assumption”) executed by such Assignee and such transferor Bank, with (and subject to) the subscribed consent of the Company (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and the Administrative Agent (such consent in each case not to be unreasonably withheld); provided that (i) the amount assigned to each Assignee which was not theretofore a Bank shall be at least the greater of (a) $10,000,000 or a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) an amount equal to 2% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments and (ii) if an Assignee is (x) an affiliate of such transferor Bank having a rating of BBB+ or higher, or Baa1 or higher, by any two of S&P, Xxxxx’x and Xxxx and Xxxxxx Credit Rating Company or (y) a Bank, no such consent shall be required but notice of such assignment shall be provided to the Company and the Administrative Agent. Upon execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by the Assignee to such transferor Bank of the purchase price agreed between such transferor Bank and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a Bank party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Bank with a Commitment as set forth in such instrument of assumption, and the transferor Bank shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection (c), the transferor Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if required, new Notes are issued to the Assignee. If the Assignee is not incorporated under the laws of the United States or a state thereof, it shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes in accordance with Section 8.4.

(d) Any Bank may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and its Notes to a Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall release the transferor Bank from its obligations hereunder.

(e) No Assignee, Participant or other transferee of any Bank’s rights shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.3 or 8.4 than such Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred, unless such transfer is made with the Company’s prior written consent or by reason of the provisions of Section 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4 requiring such Bank to designate a different Applicable Lending Office under certain circumstances or at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such greater payment did not exist.

(f) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Banks may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement,

- 46 -

notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company and any Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

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

SECTION 11.7 Collateral. Each of the Banks represents to the Administrative Agent and each of the other Banks that it in good faith is not relying upon any Margin Stock as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement.

SECTION 11.8 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and each Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York. Each Borrower hereby submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York State court sitting in New York City for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

SECTION 11.9 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes any and all other prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of counterparts hereof signed by each of the parties hereto (or, in the case of any party as to which an executed counterpart shall not have been received, receipt by the Administrative Agent in form satisfactory to it of telegraphic or other written confirmation from such party of execution of a counterpart hereof by such party). The Administrative Agent shall provide each Bank with prompt notice of the Effective Date.

SECTION 11.10 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Banks agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 11.10, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, or to any direct, indirect, actual or prospective counterparty (and its advisor) to any swap, derivative or securitization transaction related to the Obligations under this Agreement, (g) with the consent of the Company or (h) to the extent such Information (1) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 11.10 or (2) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Bank on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Company. For the purposes of this Section 11.10, “Information” means all information received from the Company relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries or their business, other than any such information that is available to the

- 47 -

Administrative Agent or any Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company; provided that, in the case of information received from the Company after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 11.10 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, each party hereto (and each party’s employees, representatives or other agents) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure of this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such party relating to such U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure, other than any information for which nondisclosure is reasonably necessary in order to comply with applicable securities laws.

SECTION 11.11 Severability. In case any provision in this Agreement or in any Note shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severable from the rest of this Agreement or such Note, as the case may be, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

SECTION 11.12 Survival. The obligations of the Borrowers under Sections 2.14, 2.16, 2.17, 2.18(a), 2.19(b)(ii), 8.3(a), 8.3(b), 8.4, 8.6 and 11.3, and the obligations of the Banks under Section 7.6, shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the Commitments (provided that any such obligation shall not survive for more than one year after the later of such events) and, in the case of any Bank that may assign any interest in its Commitment or Loans, shall survive the making of such assignment, notwithstanding that such assigning Bank may cease to be a “Bank” hereunder, and shall survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent. In addition, each representation and warranty made, or deemed to be made by a notice of any Loan, herein or pursuant hereto shall survive the making of such representation and warranty, and no Bank shall be deemed to have waived, by reason of making any Loan, any Default or Event of Default that may arise by reason of such representation or warranty proving to have been false or misleading, notwithstanding that such Bank or the Administrative Agent may have had notice or knowledge or reason to believe that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time such extension of credit was made.

SECTION 11.13 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE BORROWERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE BANKS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

This Agreement does not create a joint venture among the parties.

Referred to Below
c/o Morgan Xxxxxxx Senior Funding, Inc.
0 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, 0^xx Xxxxx
Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Xxxxx Corporation, an Ohio corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the execution and delivery of the Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of January , 2008, by and among the Company, the banks listed therein, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Senior Funding, Inc., as Administrative Agent, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Senior Funding, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and X.X. Xxxxxx Securities Inc., as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Book Managers and Citibank, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Co-Syndication Agents (the “Credit Agreement”). Terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as therein defined. This opinion is being issued to you pursuant to Section 3.1(b) of the Credit Agreement.

In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have examined and have relied upon originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions set forth herein including, without limitation, the following: (a) the Credit Agreement, (b) the Notes, (c) other documents and certificates delivered in connection with the closing of the Credit Agreement or relating to the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement, (c) a certificate of officers of the Company as to certain factual matters and (d) such other public and corporate documents and records as we deemed necessary or appropriate for this opinion.

In our examination we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, photostatic or electronic copies, the authenticity of the originals of such copies, the due authorization, execution, acknowledgment and delivery by all parties thereto (other than by the Company) of the Credit Agreement and all other documents examined by us and that the Credit Agreement and such other documents examined by us constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of each of the parties thereto (other than the Company). As to questions of fact not independently verified by us, we have relied, to the extent we deemed appropriate, upon the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in the Credit Agreement and on the matters set forth in certificates of officers of the Company, public officials and other appropriate persons.

Based upon the foregoing, but subject to the assumptions and qualifications hereinafter set forth, it is our opinion that, as of the date of this letter:

1. The Company (a) is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Ohio, (b) has the requisite corporate power and authority to conduct the business that, to our knowledge, is now being conducted by the Company, to execute and deliver the Credit Agreement and the Notes and to incur Debt and perform all of its obligations under the Credit Agreement and the Notes, and (c) except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required.

Form of Opinion of Counsel to the Company

- 2 -

2. The execution and delivery by the Company of, and the Company’s incurrence of Debt and performance of its obligations under, the Credit Agreement and the Notes have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action by the Company.

3. The Credit Agreement and the Notes have been duly executed and delivered by the Company, and constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms.

4. The execution and delivery by the Company of the Credit Agreement and the Notes, and the Company’s incurrence of Debt and performance of its obligations under the Credit Agreement and the Notes will not (a) violate any provision of any (i) law, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or (ii) any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any court, governmental agency or arbitrator known to us (without having conducted searches of any court dockets) presently in effect having applicability to the Company, (b) violate or contravene any provision of the articles of incorporation or code of regulations of the Company, (c) result in a breach of or constitute a default under any of the agreements listed on Schedule I attached hereto (the “Specified Agreements”) or result in the creation of any Lien thereunder (there being, to our knowledge, no other material agreements, indentures, leases or instruments to which the Company is a party) or (d) give rise to a right under any of the Specified Agreements to require any payment to be made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

5. No order, consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any governmental or public body or authority is required on the part of the Company to authorize, or is required in connection with the execution and delivery of, the Company’s incurrence of Debt and performance of its obligations under, or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of, the Credit Agreement and the Notes.

6. To the best of our knowledge (without having conducted searches of any court dockets), there is no action, suit or proceeding pending or threatened against or affecting the Company, or the Company’s properties, before or by any court, governmental authority or arbitrator which challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement.

7. The Company is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

The opinions set forth herein are subject to the following assumptions and qualifications:

b. We express no opinion as to the validity or enforceability of any provision of the Credit Agreement or the Notes which (i) permits the Agent or the Banks to increase the rate of interest or to collect a late charge in the event of delinquency or default to the extent such interest rate increase or late charge would violate usury laws or be considered a penalty; (ii) purports to be a waiver by the Company of any right or benefit, except to the extent permitted by applicable law; or (iii) purports to require that waivers be in writing.

Except as otherwise stated in this opinion, we have undertaken no independent investigation or verification of such matters. The words “our knowledge” and similar language used herein are intended to be limited to the knowledge of the lawyers within our firm who have recently worked on matters on behalf of the Company.

e. We express no opinion as to (i) the application or requirements of the state or federal securities (other than the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the margin regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reseve System), patent, trademark, copyright, antitrust, environmental, employee benefit or tax laws in respect of the transactions contemplated by or referred to in the Credit Agreement or (ii) in regard to the opinion set forth in paragraph 5, the Company’s securing orders, consents, approvals, licenses and/or authorizations or making filings, recordings and registrations with, or obtaining exemption by, any governmental or public body required to conduct its businesses.

OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE BORROWER
(BORROWINGS BY ELIGIBLE SUBSIDIARIES)


		[Dated as provided in Section 3.3 of the Credit Agreement]

To the Banks and the Administrative
Agent Referred to Below
c/o Morgan Xxxxxxx Senior Funding, Inc.
0 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, 0^xx Xxxxx
Xxxxxxxx, XX 00000

Dear Sirs:

I am counsel to [name of Eligible Subsidiary], a [corporation] [partnership] organized under the laws of [jurisdiction of incorporation or organization] (the “Borrower”), and give this opinion pursuant to Section 3.3(a) of the Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of January 25, 2008 (the “Credit Agreement”) among Xxxxx Corporation (the “Company”), the lending institutions party thereto from time to time and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Senior Funding, Inc., as Administrative Agent. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as therein defined.

I have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of such documents, corporate [and partnership] records, certificates of public officials and other instruments and have conducted such other investigations of fact and law as I have deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of this opinion.

Upon the basis of the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

1. The Borrower is a [corporation duly incorporated] [partnership duly organized], validly existing and in good standing under the laws of [Jurisdiction of incorporation or organization], and is a Wholly-Owned Consolidated Subsidiary of the Company.

2. The execution and delivery by the Borrower of its Election to Participate and its Notes and the performance by the Borrower of its obligations under the Credit Agreement and its Notes are (a) within the Borrower’s [corporate] [partnership] powers, (b) have been duly authorized by all necessary [corporate] [partnership] action, (c) require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or official, (d) will not contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of applicable law or regulation or of the [certificate of incorporation] [partnership agreement] [or by-laws] of the Borrower or of any agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree or other instrument binding upon the Company or the Borrower, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and (e) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

3.

EXHIBIT G

MCR Cost

Calculation of Mandatory Cost Rate

1. The MCR Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate the Banks for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank.

2. On the first day of each Interest Period for any Loan denominated in Euros (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Administrative Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”) for each Bank participating in such Loan, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The MCR Cost will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as a weighted average of such Banks’ Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each such Bank in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum rounded upwards, if necessary, to four decimal places.

3. The Additional Cost Rate for any Bank lending from a specific lending office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Bank to the Administrative Agent. This percentage will be certified by that Bank in its notice to the Administrative Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Bank’s participation in all Loans made from that lending office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that lending office.

4. The Additional Cost Rate for any Bank lending from a lending office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as follows:

(a)

in relation to a Loan made in Euros:


		E x 0.01		percent per annum.
		300		percent per annum.

Where:

	E		is designed to compensate the Banks for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Administrative Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Reference Banks (as defined in this Exhibit) to the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000.

	5.		For the purposes of this Exhibit G:

	(a)		“Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the Supervision Manual of the Financial Services Authority or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits.

	(b)		“Financial Services Authority” means the body corporate known by that name that has the functions conferred on it by or under the Financial Services and Markets Xxx 0000 or any successor entity.

	(c)		“Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate).

	(d)		“Reference Banks” means, collectively, the principal London offices of Citibank, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and such other banks as may be appointed by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Company.

	(e)		“Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules.

6. If requested by the Administrative Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Administrative Agent, the rate of charge payable by such Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by such Reference Bank as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to such Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of such Reference Bank.

7. Each Bank shall supply any information required by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Bank shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank:

(a) the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office; and

(b) any other information that the Administrative Agent may reasonably require for such purpose.

Each Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.

8. The rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the Administrative Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 6 and 7 above and on the assumption that, unless a Bank notifies the Administrative Agent to the contrary, each Bank’s obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a lending office in the same jurisdiction as its lending office.

9. The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any Person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Bank and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Bank or Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 6 and 7 above is true and correct in all respects.

10. The Administrative Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the MCR Cost to the Banks on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Bank based on the information provided by each Bank and each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 6 and 7 above.

11. Any determination by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Exhibit G in relation to a formula, the MCR Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Bank shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties to the Credit Agreement.

12. The Administrative Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Company and the Banks, determine in its reasonable judgment and provide notice to the Company and

the Banks of any amendments which are required to be made to this Exhibit G in order to comply with any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties to the Credit Agreement.
