WHEREAS, the Company has requested the Lenders to make available a credit facility pursuant to which (i) the Company may borrow revolving credit loans at committed interest rates and short-term loans at interest rates determined by a competitive bidding process to be conducted by the Company loans at committed interest rates and (ii) one or more Issuing Banks (as hereinafter defined) will issue letters of credit for the account of the Company and each of the Lenders will acquire a participating interest in each such letter of credit;

WHEREAS, the Company has requested that the loans made, and letters of credit issued, under this Agreement be denominated, at the option of the Company in United States Dollars or Available Foreign Currencies (as hereinafter defined); and

WHEREAS, the Lenders are willing to make such credit facility available to the Company;

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

SECTION 1

DEFINITIONS

1.1. Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“ABR”: for any day, a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Base CD Rate in effect on such day plus 1% and (c) the Federal Funds

Effective Rate in effect on such day plus ¹/2 of 1%. Any change in the ABR due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Base CD Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the Base CD Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate, respectively.

“ABR Loans”: Loans in Dollars bearing interest based upon the ABR.

“Acquisition”: means any transaction or series of related transactions for the purpose of, or resulting in, directly or indirectly, (a) the acquisition by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of all or substantially all of the assets of a Person or of any business or division of a Person or (b) the acquisition by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of more than 50% of any class of Voting Stock (or similar ownership interests) of any Person.

“Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate”: with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan for any Interest Period, an interest rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/100 of 1%) equal to (a) the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period multiplied by (b) the Statutory Reserve Rate.

“Administrative Schedule”: Schedule II to this Agreement, which contains interest rate definitions and administrative information in respect of each Currency and each Type of Loan.

“Affiliate”: as to any Person, any other Person (other than a Subsidiary) which, directly or indirectly, is in control of, is controlled by, or is under common control with, such Person. For purposes of this definition, “control” of a Person means the power, directly or indirectly, either to (a) vote 20% or more of the securities having ordinary voting power for the election of directors of such Person or (b) direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person, whether by contract or otherwise.

“Agreement”: this Multi-Currency, Multi-Option Credit Agreement, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.

“Agreement Currency”: as defined in subsection 12.8(b).

“Applicable Margin”: for each day during each Interest Period in respect of any Eurocurrency Loan, the margin per annum set forth below opposite the applicable Ratings category in effect on such day:


Pricing Level	Ratings	Applicable Margin
(from highest to lowest)	(S&P/Moody’s)	(basis points)
1	A- or A3 or higher	37.0

2	BBB+ or Baa1	40.0

3	BBB or Baa2	50.0

4	BBB- or Baa3	60.0

5	BB+ or Ba1	70.0

6	Lower than BB+ or Ba1	90.0

For purposes of the foregoing: (a) if the Rating issued by Moody’s and the Rating issued by S&P shall fall within different Pricing Levels (but not more than one (1) Pricing Level apart), then the Applicable Margin shall be determined by reference to the higher Pricing Level (e.g., if the Rating issued by S&P is in Pricing Xxxxx 0 and the Rating issued by Xxxxx’x is in Pricing Xxxxx 0, then the Applicable Margin shall be determined by reference to Pricing Level 1); (b) if the Rating issued by Moody’s and the Rating issued by S&P shall fall within different Pricing Levels (and by more than one (1) Pricing Level apart), then the Applicable Margin shall be determined by reference to the Pricing Level that is one (1) Pricing Level higher than the lower Pricing Level (e.g., if the Rating issued by S&P is in Pricing Xxxxx 0 and the Rating issued by Xxxxx’x is in Pricing Xxxxx 0, then the Applicable Margin shall be determined by reference to Pricing Level 3); (c) if either Moody’s or S&P shall not have in effect a Rating (other than by reason of the circumstances referred to in the last sentence of this paragraph), then such rating agency shall be deemed to have established a rating in Pricing Level 6; and (d) if either Moody’s or S&P no longer publishes ratings and the Company and the Administrative Agent cannot agree on another ratings agency to replace Moody’s or S&P, as the case may be, then the Rating issued by Moody’s or the Rating issued by S&P which is still being published, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be the Rating. If the rating system of Moody’s or S&P shall change, or if either such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Company and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating agency and pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Margin shall be determined by reference to the rating most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation.

“Application”: in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank, an application, in such form as such Issuing Bank may specify from time to time, requesting issuance of such Letter of Credit.

“Assessment Rate”: for any day as applied to any ABR Loan, the annual assessment rate in effect on such day that is payable by a member of the Bank Insurance Fund maintained by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) and classified as “well-capitalized” and within supervisory subgroup “A” (or a comparable successor risk classification) within the meaning of 12 C.F.R. Part 327 (or any successor provision) to the FDIC (or any successor) for the FDIC’s (or such successor’s) insuring of time deposits made in dollars at the offices of such member in the United States; provided that if, as a result of any change in any law, rule or

regulation, it is no longer possible to determine the Assessment Rate as aforesaid, then the Assessment Rate shall be such annual rate as shall be determined by the Administrative Agent to be representative of the cost of such insurance to the Lenders.

For purposes of the foregoing: (a) if the Rating issued by Moody’s and the Rating issued by S&P shall fall within different Pricing Levels (but not more than one (1) Pricing Level apart), then the Facility Fee shall be determined by reference to the higher Pricing Level (e.g., if the Rating issued by S&P is in Pricing Xxxxx 0 and the Rating issued by Xxxxx’x is in Pricing Xxxxx 0, then the Facility Fee shall be determined by reference to Pricing Level 1); (b) if the Rating issued by Moody’s and the Rating issued by S&P shall fall within different Pricing Levels (and by more than one (1) Pricing Level apart), then the Facility Fee shall be determined by reference to the Pricing Level that is one (1) Pricing Level higher than the lower Pricing Level (e.g., if the Rating issued by S&P is in Pricing Xxxxx 0 and the Rating issued by Xxxxx’x is in Pricing Xxxxx 0, then the Facility Fee shall be determined by reference to Pricing Level 3); (c) if either Moody’s or S&P shall not have in effect a Rating (other than by reason of the circumstances referred to in the last sentence of this paragraph), then such rating agency shall be deemed to have established a rating in Pricing Level 6; and (d) if either Moody’s or S&P no longer publishes ratings and the Company and the Administrative Agent cannot agree on another ratings agency to replace Moody’s or S&P, as the case may be, then the Rating issued by Moody’s or the Rating issued by S&P which is still being published, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be the Rating. If the rating system of Moody’s or S&P shall change, or if either such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Company and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating agency and pending the

2.4. Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Company shall have the right, upon not less than four Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Commitments.

All or any part of Eurocurrency Loans outstanding in Dollars or ABR Loans may be converted as provided in herein, provided that (i) no ABR Loan may be converted into a Eurocurrency Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Lenders have determined that such a conversion is not appropriate and (ii) no ABR Loan may be converted into a Eurocurrency Loan after the date that is one month prior to the Termination Date.

(b) By giving a Notice of Continuation, the Company may continue any of its Eurocurrency Loans as Eurocurrency Loans in the same Currency for additional Interest Periods.

(c) The Company may convert Committed Rate Loans outstanding in one Currency to Committed Rate Loans of a different Currency by repaying such Loans in the first

Currency and borrowing Loans of such different Currency in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

(d) If the Company shall fail to timely give a Notice of Continuation or a Notice of Conversion in respect of any of the Company’s Eurocurrency Loans with respect to which an Interest Period is expiring, such Eurocurrency Loans shall become due and payable on the last day of such expiring Interest Period; provided, that the Company may, in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement refinance such maturing Eurocurrency Loans on such maturity date with Competitive Advance Loans.

2.7. Minimum Amounts of Tranches. All borrowings, conversions and continuations of Committed Rate Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Loans comprising (i) each Tranche in Dollars shall be not less than $2,000,000 and (ii) each Tranche in any Available Foreign Currency shall be not less than the Dollar Equivalent Amount in such Currency of $2,000,000.

2.8. Interest Rates and Payment Dates for Committed Rate Loans. (a) Each Committed Rate Eurocurrency Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Each Committed Rate ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR.

(c) If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Committed Rate Loan or (ii) any interest payable thereon shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is (x) in the case of overdue principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this subsection plus 2% or (y) in the case of overdue interest, the rate described in paragraph (b) of this subsection plus 2%, in each case from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

(d) Interest on Committed Rate Loans shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided, that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this subsection shall be payable from time to time on demand.

2.9. Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If on or prior to the Quotation Day for any Interest Period in respect of any Eurocurrency Loan in any Currency:

(a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market generally, the Administrative Agent cannot ascertain the Eurocurrency Rate in accordance with this Agreement for such affected Currency or such affected Interest Period, or

(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Lenders that the Eurocurrency Rate determined or to be determined for such affected Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by

such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Committed Rate Loans during such affected Interest Period,

(c) the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Company and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any Eurocurrency Loans requested to be made in such affected Currency on the first day of such affected Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans in Dollars in a Dollar Equivalent Amount, (y) any Committed Rate Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such affected Interest Period from ABR Loans, to Eurocurrency Loans in such affected Currency, shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z) any Eurocurrency Loans in such affected Currency that were to have been continued as such shall be converted, on the first day of such Interest Period, to ABR Loans in Dollars in a Dollar Equivalent Amount. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurocurrency Loans in such affected Currency shall be made or continued as such.

2.10. Commitment Increases. (a) In the event that the Company wishes to increase the total Commitment at any time and from time to time when no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, it shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of the amount (the “Offered Increase Amount”) of such proposed increase (each such notice, a “Commitment Increase Notice”). The Company may, at its election, from time to time (i) offer one or more of the Lenders the opportunity to provide all or a portion of the Offered Increase Amount pursuant to paragraph (c) below and/or (ii) offer one or more additional banks, financial institutions or other entities reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent the opportunity to provide all or a portion of the Offered Increase Amount pursuant to paragraph (b) below. Each Commitment Increase Notice shall specify which Lenders and/or banks, financial institutions or other entities the Company desires to provide such Offered Increase Amount. The Company or, if requested by the Company, the Administrative Agent will notify such Lenders, and/or banks, financial institutions or other entities of such offer.

(b) Any additional bank, financial institution or other entity which the Company selects to offer participation in the increased Commitments and which elects to become a Lender under this Agreement and obtain a Commitment in an amount so offered and accepted by it pursuant to subsection 2.10(a)(ii) shall execute a New Lender Supplement with the Company and the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto, whereupon such bank, financial institution or other entity (herein called a “New Lender”) shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.

(c) Any Lender which accepts an offer to it by the Company to increase its Commitment pursuant to subsection 2.10(a)(i) shall, in each case, execute a Commitment Increase Supplement with the Company and the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit K hereto, whereupon such Lender shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement with respect to the full amount of its Commitment as so increased.

(d) If any bank, financial institution or other entity becomes a New Lender pursuant to subsection 2.10(b) or any Lender’s Commitment is increased pursuant to subsection 2.10(c), additional Commitment Rate Loans made on or after the effectiveness thereof (the

“Credit Re-Allocation Date”) shall be made pro rata based on the Commitment Percentages in effect on and after such Credit Re-Allocation Date (except to the extent that any such pro rata borrowings would result in any Lender making an aggregate principal amount of Committed Rate Loans in excess of its Commitment, in which case such excess amount will be allocated to, and made by, such New Lenders and/or Lenders with such increased Commitments to the extent of, and pro rata based upon, their respective Commitments otherwise available for Loans), and continuations of Eurocurrency Loans outstanding on such Credit Re-Allocation Date shall be effected by repayment of such Eurocurrency Loans on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and the making of new Eurocurrency Loans pro rata based on such new Commitment Percentages. In the event that on any such Credit Re-Allocation Date there is an unpaid principal amount of ABR Loans, the Company shall make prepayments thereof and borrowings of ABR Loans so that, after giving effect thereto, the ABR Loans outstanding are held pro rata based on such new Commitment Percentages. In the event that on any such Credit Re-Allocation Date there is an unpaid principal amount of Eurocurrency Loans, such Eurocurrency Loans shall remain outstanding with the respective holders thereof until the expiration of their respective Interest Periods (unless the Company elects to prepay any thereof in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement), and interest on and repayments of such Eurodollar Loans will be paid thereon to the respective Lenders holding such Eurocurrency Loans pro rata based on the respective principal amounts thereof outstanding.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection 2.10, (i) in no event shall any transaction effected pursuant to this subsection 2.10 cause the aggregate amount of the total Commitments to exceed $350,000,000 and (ii) no Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Commitment unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion.

(f) To the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, it shall be a condition precedent to any increase in the Commitments pursuant to this subsection 2.10 that the Administrative Agent shall have received on or prior to the Credit Re-Allocation Date, for the benefit of the Lenders, (i) legal opinions of counsel to the Company covering such matters as are customary for transactions of this type and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and (ii) certified copies of resolutions of the Company authorizing the Offered Increase Amount.

(g) The Administrative Agent will notify all Lenders of each increase in Commitments pursuant to this subsection.

2.11. Substitution of Euro for National Currency. If any Available Foreign Currency is replaced by the euro, unless otherwise agreed by the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the euro may be tendered in satisfaction of any obligation denominated in such Available Foreign Currency at the conversion rate specified in, or otherwise calculated in accordance with, the regulations adopted by the Council of the European Union relating to the euro. No replacement of an Available Foreign Currency by the euro shall discharge, excuse or otherwise affect the performance of any obligation of the Company under this Agreement.

3.1. Competitive Advance Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company may, at any time and from time to time during the Commitment Period, request one or more Lenders to offer bids, and any such Lender may, in its sole discretion, offer such bids, to make competitive advance loans (“Competitive Advance Loans”) to the Company on the terms and conditions set forth in such bids. Each Competitive Advance Loan shall bear interest at the rates, pay interest and principal on the dates, and shall mature on the date, agreed between the Company and Lender at the time such Competitive Advance Loan is made; provided, that (i) each Competitive Advance Loan shall mature not earlier than 1 day and not later than 180 days, after the date such Competitive Advance Loan is made and (ii) no Competitive Advance Loan shall mature after the Termination Date. During the Commitment Period the Company may accept bids from Lenders from time to time for Competitive Advance Loans, and borrow and repay Competitive Advance Loans, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof; provided, that no Competitive Advance Loan shall be made if, after giving effect to the making of such Loan and the simultaneous application of the proceeds thereof, the aggregate amount of the Exposure would exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments; and provided further that the aggregate amount of Competitive Advance Loans of the Company at any time outstanding shall not exceed $25,000,000. Subject to the foregoing, any Lender may, in its sole discretion, make Competitive Advance Loans in an aggregate outstanding amount exceeding the amount of such Lender’s Commitment.

(b) The Competitive Advance Loans may be made in Dollars or any Available Foreign Currency, as agreed between the Company and Lender in respect thereof at the time such Competitive Advance Loan is made.

3.2. Procedure for Competitive Advance Loan Borrowing. (a) The Company may request one or more Lenders to make bids to make Committed Rate Loans in such manner and at such time as shall be agreed by the Company and such Lenders by delivering Competitive Bid Requests to such Lender or Lenders. The proceeds of each Competitive Advance Loan will be made available to the Company in respect thereof in the manner agreed between the Company and the relevant Lender at the time such Competitive Advance Loan is made. The Lender designated in any such Competitive Bid Request may (but shall have no obligation to) make one or more competitive bids to the Company in response to a Competitive Bid Request by delivering a Competitive Bid Notice to the Company.

(b) Each Lender that makes a Competitive Advance Loan shall deliver a Notice of Competitive Advance Loan to the Administrative Agent on the Thursday (or, if such Thursday is not a Business Day, on the next Business Day following such Thursday) immediately following the making of such Competitive Advance Loan.

3.3. Repayment of Competitive Advance Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Company hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Lender that made such Competitive Advance Loan on the maturity date, as agreed by the Company and Lender at the time such Competitive Advance Loan is made (or such earlier date on which all the Loans become due and payable

pursuant to Section 10), the then unpaid principal amount of such Competitive Advance Loan. The Company hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Competitive Advance Loans made by any Lender from time to time outstanding from the date thereof until payment in full thereof at the rates, and on the dates, agreed by the Company and Lender at the time such Competitive Advance Loan is made. All payments in respect of Competitive Advance Loans shall be made by the Company to its Competitive Advance Loan Lender at the address separately agreed to between the Company and such Competitive Advance Loan Lender.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Company to such Lender resulting from each Competitive Advance Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time in respect of Competitive Advance Loans. The entries made in the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to this subsection 3.3(b) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Company therein recorded, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to maintain any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Company to repay (with applicable interest) the Competitive Advance Loans made to the Company by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

3.4. Prepayments. Unless otherwise agreed by the Lender making a Competitive Advance Loan in any Notice of Competitive Advance Loan, such Competitive Advance Loan may not be optionally prepaid prior to the scheduled maturity date thereof.

(c) No Issuing Bank shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would cause such Issuing Bank or any Lender to violate any applicable Requirement of Law.

4.2. Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit under this Agreement. The Company may from time to time request that an Issuing Bank issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Bank at its Issuing Office an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of the Issuing Bank, and such other documents required in connection therewith as such Issuing Bank may reasonably request. Upon receipt by an Issuing Bank of any Application, such Issuing Bank will process such Application and any other documents delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall any Issuing Bank be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three (3) Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other documents required in connection therewith by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed by such Issuing Bank and the Company. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly (and in no event later than the Business Day following its issuance of any Letter of Credit) advise the Administrative Agent of the terms of such Letter of Credit (or provide the Administrative Agent with a copy of such Letter of Credit), and each Lender shall be entitled to receive from the Administrative Agent, following such Lender’s request therefor, any documents so provided to the Administrative Agent.

4.3. Fees, Commissions and Other Charges.

Such commissions shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December to occur after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit and on the expiration date of such Letter of Credit and shall be nonrefundable. In addition to the foregoing fees, the Company shall pay to each Issuing Bank for its own account in Dollars a fronting fee of 0.125% per annum on the aggregate undrawn and unexpired amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. Such fronting fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December shall be nonrefundable.

4.4. L/C Participations. (a) Each Issuing Bank irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce each Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from such Issuing Bank, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk, an undivided interest in such Issuing Bank’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank hereunder in an amount equal to the product of such L/C Participant’s Commitment Percentage times the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Bank thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Bank that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for which such Issuing Bank is not reimbursed in full by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Bank upon demand at such Issuing Bank’s Issuing Office an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed.

(b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to any Issuing Bank pursuant to subsection 4.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit is not paid to such Issuing Bank on the date such payment is due from such L/C Participant, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Bank on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) (A) in the case of any such payment obligation denominated in Dollars, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or (B) in the case of any such payment obligation denominated in an Available Foreign Currency, the rate customary in such Currency for settlement of similar inter-bank obligations, as quoted by such Issuing Bank, in each case during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Bank, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to subsection 4.4(a) is not made available to such Issuing Bank by such L/C Participant within three (3) Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans. A certificate of an Issuing Bank submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(c) Whenever, at any time after an Issuing Bank has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with subsection 4.4(a), the Issuing Bank receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Company or otherwise), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Bank will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing

Bank shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Bank, such L/C Participant shall return to such Issuing Bank on demand the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Bank to it.

(d) Each L/C Participant’s obligation to purchase participating interests pursuant to subsection 4.4(a) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such LC Participant or the Company may have against any Issuing Bank, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Article VII; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company or any Subsidiary; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Company or any other Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

4.5. Reimbursement Obligation of the Company. (a) The Company agrees to reimburse each Issuing Bank in respect of any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank on the Business Day next succeeding the Business Day on which such Issuing Bank notifies the Company of the date and amount of a draft presented under such Letter of Credit and paid by such Issuing Bank for the amount of (i) such draft so paid and (ii) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses reasonably incurred by such Issuing Bank in connection with such payment. Each such payment shall be made to such Issuing Bank at its Issuing Office in the Currency in which payment of such draft was made and in immediately available funds.

(b) Interest shall be payable on any and all amounts remaining unpaid by the Company under this subsection from the date such amounts are required to be paid by the Issuing Bank until payment in full at the ABR then in effect plus the Applicable Margin then in effect until the third (3rd) Business Day next succeeding the date of the relevant notice and thereafter at the rate which is 2% above the ABR then in effect plus the Applicable Margin then in effect.

4.6. Obligations Absolute. (a) The obligations of the Company under this Section 4 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Company may have or have had against any Issuing Bank or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit.

(b) The Company also agrees with each Issuing Bank in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank that such Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for, and the Company’s Reimbursement Obligations under subsection 4.5(a) shall not be affected by, among other things, (i) the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, provided, that reliance upon such documents by such Issuing Bank shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Bank or (ii) any dispute between or among the Company and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or (iii) any claims whatsoever of the Company against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee.

(c) The Issuing Banks shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions caused by such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

4.7. Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment to an Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Company of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the Issuing Bank to the Company in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are in compliance with such Letter of Credit.

4.8. Application. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 4, the provisions of this Section 4 shall apply.

4.9. Issuance of Letters of Credit Priority for Acceptance of Time Drafts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4, the Company may request that any Letter of Credit permit drawings thereunder to be by means of acceptance by the Issuing Bank of a time draft (a “Time Draft”) rather than by payment of a sight draft. Each Time Draft shall (in addition to satisfying all of the provisions set forth in this Section 4, except to the extent such provisions conflict with the provisions in this subsection 4.9 (in which case this subsection 4.9 shall be controlling)) expire no later than the earliest of (i) 90 days following the acceptance of such Time Draft by the related Issuing Bank, (ii) 5 Business Days prior to the Termination Date and (iii) 180 days after the issuance of the Commercial Letter of Credit pursuant to which such Time Draft is made. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:

(a) in calculating the outstanding amount of L/C Obligations for purpose of determining the amount of the Commitments available for usage as Letters of Credit under subsection 4.1(a), the face amount of each outstanding and accepted Time Draft shall be deemed to constitute L/C Obligations;

(b) in calculating the undrawn face amount of any Letter of Credit for purposes of determining the amount of Letter of Credit commission payable pursuant to subsection 4.3(a), each Letter of Credit under which a Time Draft has been issued and accepted shall be deemed undrawn to the extent of the face amount of such Time Draft until such Time Draft has been paid; and

(c) each L/C Participant shall be deemed to have an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Commitment Percentage in the Issuing Bank’s rights and obligations under any Time Draft accepted by such Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit.

SECTION 5

CERTAIN PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO THE LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT

5.1. Facility Fee. (a) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee for the period from and including the Closing Date to, but excluding, the Termination Date or such earlier date on which the Commitments shall terminate as provided herein, computed at the Facility Fee Rate in effect from time to time on the average daily amount of the Commitment (used and unused) of such Lender during the period for which payment is made (or after the Termination Date on the average daily amount of the Exposure), payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the Termination Date or such earlier date on which the Commitments shall terminate as provided herein, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the date hereof.

(b) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account and for the account of the Lenders, the fees specified in, and in the amounts and on the dates set forth in, the Fee Letter.

5.2. Computation of Interest and Fees.

The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Company and the Lenders of each determination of a Eurocurrency Rate. Any change in the ABR due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Three-Month Secondary CD Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate shall be effective as of the opening of business on the effective day of such change in the Prime Rate, the Three-Month Secondary CD Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate, respectively. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Company and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Company, deliver to the Company a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any Eurocurrency Rate.

5.3. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by the Company of Committed Rate Loans, each payment by the Company on account of any facility fee hereunder and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Commitment Percentages of the Lenders.

All payments in respect of Committed Rate Loans in any Currency shall be made in such Currency and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, and at or prior to the Payment Time, for such Type of Loans and such Currency, on the due date thereof.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a Borrowing Date in respect of Committed Rate Loans that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its Commitment Percentage of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Company a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to (A) in the case of any such Committed Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, the daily average Federal funds rate, as quoted by the Administrative Agent, or (B) in the case of any Committed Rate Loans denominated in an Available Foreign Currency, the rate customary in such Currency for settlement of similar inter-bank obligations, as quoted by the Administrative Agent, in each case for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Committed Rate Loans in such Currency hereunder, on demand, from the Company.

(i) shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Eurocurrency Loan made by it to the Company or any Extension of Credit to the Company, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by subsection 5.6 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate or other basis of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender);

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits with or for the account of, or advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, any office of such Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurocurrency Rate; or

(iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition affecting Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender to the Company, or Extensions of Credit by such Lender to the Company;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender reasonably deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurocurrency Loans to the Company or issuing for or participating in Letters of Credit of the Company or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, and such Lender has no reasonable means (as it shall determine in its sole discretion acting in good faith) to avoid such costs or reductions, then, in any such case, the Company shall promptly pay such Lender following receipt of a certificate of such Lender in accordance with subsection 5.4(d) such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital, if any, as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, the Company shall promptly pay to such Lender following receipt of a certificate of such Lender in accordance with subsection 5.4(d) such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for any such reduction suffered. Notwithstanding any other provision in this paragraph (b), no Lender shall be entitled to demand compensation pursuant to this paragraph (b) if it shall not then be the general practice of such Lender or such corporation to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other comparable credit agreements.

(c) A certificate of each Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Lender or such corporation as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above, as the case may be, and setting forth in reasonable detail an explanation of the basis of requesting such compensation in accordance with paragraph (a) or (b) above, including calculations in detail comparable to the detail set forth in Certificates delivered to such Lender in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other comparable credit agreements, shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay each Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered to it within ten (10) days after its receipt of the same.

(d) Failure on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand compensation with respect to such period or any other period, except that no Lender shall be entitled to compensation under this subsection 5.4 for any such costs incurred or any such reduction suffered with respect to any date unless such Lender shall have notified the Company that it will demand compensation for such costs or reductions under paragraph (c) above, not more than six months after the later of (i) such date and (ii) the date on which such Lender as applicable, shall have become aware of such costs or reductions. The protection of this subsection 5.4 shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or condition that shall have occurred or been imposed.

(e) The agreements in this subsection shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

5.5. Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Company under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority (other than Excluded Taxes). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) are required to be withheld from any amounts payable by the Company to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by the Company, the Company shall timely pay such Non-Excluded Taxes and shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Company showing payment thereof. If the Company fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Company shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be required to make any payments in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes to any Lender that has changed the Funding Office at which it maintains the Extensions of Credit to which such Non-Excluded Taxes relate (other than any such change in Funding Office made by such Lender pursuant to subsection 5.7 to avoid or minimize the application or effects of subsection 5.4 or 5.5) in an amount greater than the Company would have been required to pay pursuant to this subsection 5.5 if no such change in Funding Office had occurred. The agreements in this subsection shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(b) Each Lender that is not incorporated, created or organized under the laws of the United States of America or a state or political subdivision thereof (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the

jurisdiction in which the Company is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Non-U.S. Lender shall:

(i) deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (A) two duly completed copies of either United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (with respect to entitlement to treaty benefits) or W-8ECI, or successor applicable form, as applicable, (B) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. Federal withholdings tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interests,” a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit L hereto and a Form W-8BEN, and (C) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Company to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; or applicable successor form, in each case, demonstrating such Non-U.S. Lender’s entitlement to a complete exemption from U.S. Federal withholding tax on all payments by the Company under this Agreement,

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

(iii) obtain such extensions of time for filing and complete such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent;

unless in any such case an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender so advises the Company and the Administrative Agent or the legal basis therefor. Each Person that shall become a Lender or a Participant pursuant to subsection 12.6 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all of the forms and statements required pursuant to this subsection, provided that in the case of a Participant such Participant shall furnish all such

required forms and statements to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased.

5.6. Indemnity. The Company agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or reasonable expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Company in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of a Loan after the Company has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Company in making any prepayment after the Company has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making by the Company of a prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans or Competitive Advance Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period or the maturity date, as the case may be, with respect thereto. Such loss or reasonable expense shall be equal to the sum of (a) such Lender’s actual costs and expenses incurred (other than any lost profits) in connection with, or by reason of, any of the foregoing events and (b) an amount equal to the excess, if any, as reasonably determined by such Lender of (i) its cost of obtaining the funds for the Loan being paid, prepaid, converted or continued (assumed to be the Eurocurrency Rate applicable thereto) for the period from and including the date for such payment, prepayment, conversion or continuation to but excluding the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would be realized by such Lender in reemploying the funds so paid, prepaid, converted or continued for such period or Interest Period, as the case maybe. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts, including calculations in reasonable detail, that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this subsection 5.6 shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

5.7. Change of Lending Office. (a) Each Lender agrees that upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of subsection 5.4 or 5.5, it will use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document requested by the Company or designate a different lending office for Extensions of Credit affected by such event or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates with the object of avoiding or minimizing the consequences of such event; provided, that such filing, designation or assignment is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; and, provided, further, that nothing in this subsection 5.7 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Company or the rights of any Lender pursuant to subsection 5.4 or 5.5.

(b) In the event that any Lender shall have delivered a notice or certificate pursuant to subsection 5.4 or 5.5, or if any Lender shall default in its obligations to fund any Loans hereunder, then the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, to replace such Lender with an assignee (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in subsection 12.6), and such Lender hereby agrees to transfer and assign without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in subsection 12.6) all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to such assignee; provided, however, that no Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment unless (i) such assignment shall not violate any Requirement of Law,

(ii) such assignee shall pay to the affected Lender in immediately available funds on the date of such assignment the outstanding principal amount of the Loans made by such Lender hereunder and (iii) the Company shall pay to the affected Lender in immediately available funds on the date of such assignment the interest accrued to the date of payment on the Loans made by such Lender hereunder and all other amounts accrued for such Lender’s account or owed to it hereunder (including any amount that would be payable to such Lender pursuant to subsection 5.6 if such assignment were, instead, a prepayment).

5.8. Company Controls on Exposure; Calculation of Exposure; Prepayment if Exposure Exceeds Commitments. (a) The Company will monitor the borrowings and repayments of Loans by the Company and the issuance of and drawings under Letters of Credit and Time Drafts, with the object of preventing any request for an Extension of Credit that would result in the aggregate amount of the Exposure being in excess of the Commitments and of promptly identifying and remedying any circumstance where, by reason of changes in exchange rates, the aggregate amount of the Exposure does exceed the Commitments. In the event that at any time the Company determines that the aggregate amount of the Exposure exceeds the aggregate amount of the Commitments by more that 5%, the Company will, as soon as practicable but in any event within five (5) Business Days of making such determination, make such repayments or prepayments of Loans as shall be necessary to cause the aggregate amount of the Exposure to no longer exceed the Commitments.

(b) The Administrative Agent will calculate the aggregate amount of the Exposure (including the aggregate amount of L/C Obligations) from time to time, and in any event not less frequently than once during each calendar week. In making such calculations, the Administrative Agent will rely on the information most recently received by it from Lenders in respect of outstanding Competitive Advance Loans and from Issuing Banks in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit (including, with respect to such Issuing Banks, the conversion ratios in respect of the non-Dollar denominated Letters of Credit provided to the Administrative Agent by such Issuing Banks on the fifteenth day and the end of each month (or on the Business Day next succeeding such days)). Upon making each such calculation, the Administrative Agent will inform the Company of the results thereof and, upon the request of any Lender, inform such Lender of the results thereof.

(c) In the event that on any date the Administrative Agent calculates that the aggregate amount of the Exposure exceeds the aggregate amount of the Commitments by more than 5%, the Administrative Agent will give notice to such effect to the Company. Within five Business Days after receipt of any such notice, the Company will, as soon as practicable but in any event within five Business Days of receipt of such notice, make such repayments or prepayments of Loans as shall be necessary to cause the aggregate amount of the Exposure to no longer exceed the Commitments.

(d) Any prepayment required to be made pursuant to this subsection 5.8 shall be accompanied by payment of amounts payable, if any, pursuant to subsection 5.6 in respect of the amount so prepaid.

SECTION 6

This Agreement has been, and each other Loan Document to which it is a party will be, duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Company. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document to which it is a party when executed and delivered will constitute, a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

6.5. No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which the Company is a party, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not (a) violate any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of the Company or of any of its Subsidiaries except where any such violation would not reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (b) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of its or their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any such Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation except where any such creation or imposition of any such Lien would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.6. No Material Litigation. No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened by or against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or against any of its or their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or (b) which is reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.8. Ownership of Real Property; Liens.

All such material real properties are free and clear of all Liens, other than Liens permitted by subsection 9.3.

6.9. Intellectual Property.

No claim has been asserted against the Company or any Subsidiary and is pending by any Person challenging the use by the Company or any Subsidiary of any such

Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property, nor does the Company know of any valid basis for any such claim, except, in each case, for any claims that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Company, the use of such Intellectual Property by the Company and its Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person, except for such claims and infringements that, in the aggregate, are not reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.10. Taxes. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all United States federal income tax returns and all material foreign income, excise and other tax returns which, to the knowledge of the Company, are required to be filed by the Company or any such Subsidiary and has paid or made for the provision of payment of all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property in respect thereof received by the Company or its Subsidiaries and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than any amount the validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Company or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be) except, in each case, (a) taxes that are being contested in good faith and for which adequate reserves have been provided and (b) other taxes where any such failure to file or any such failure to pay would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; no tax Lien has been filed in respect of any material amount of unpaid taxes in respect of which, to the knowledge of the Company, any claim is being asserted, except where such claim is not reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

6.11. Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans will be used for “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U of the Board as now and from time to time hereafter in effect. If requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Company will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1 referred to in said Regulation U.

6.12. ERISA. Except as would not reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect, (i) neither a Reportable Event which would reasonably be expected to result in the termination of a Single Employer Plan nor an “accumulated funding deficiency” (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA) has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made on the date of any Extension of Credit with respect to any Single Employer Plan or, to the Company’s knowledge, Multiemployer Plan; (ii) each Plan has complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code; (iii) no termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred, and no Lien (other than Liens permitted under subsection 9.3) on assets of the Company or any Commonly Controlled Entity in favor of the PBGC or a Single Employer Plan has arisen, during such five-year period; and (iv) the present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on actuarial assumptions used for funding purposes in the most recent actuarial evaluation reasonably prepared by such Plan’s actuary with respect to such Plan) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made on the date of any Extension of Credit, exceed the then-current value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such

accrued benefits. Except as would not reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect, (i) neither the Company nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan; (ii) neither the Company nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any liability under ERISA if (a) the Company or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made or (b) any such Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvent. The present value (determined using actuarial and other assumptions which are reasonable in respect of the benefits provided and the employees participating) of the liability of the Company and each Commonly Controlled Entity for accrued post retirement benefits to be provided to their current and former employees under Plans which are welfare benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) does not, in the aggregate, exceed the value of the assets under all such Plans allocable to such benefits by an amount in excess of $25,000,000.

6.13. Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. 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 Company is not subject to regulation under any Federal or State statute or regulation (other than Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) which limits its ability to incur Indebtedness under this Agreement.

6.15. Purpose of Loans and Letters of Credit. The proceeds of the Loans and the Letters of Credit shall be used by the Company and its Subsidiaries to refinance existing bank lines and for all other general corporate purposes including, without limitation, working capital, letters of credit, repayment, prepayment or purchase of long-term Indebtedness, Investments and Restricted Payments.

6.16. Accuracy and Completeness of Information. All written certificates, documents and written statements heretofore furnished by the Company to the Lenders for use in connection with this Agreement, and all such information hereafter furnished by the Company to any Lender for use in connection with this Agreement, will not, at the time delivered, taken as a whole with all other certificates, documents and written statements furnished substantially contemporaneously therewith, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact known to the Company and necessary in order to make the statements made or to be made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were or will be made, not misleading.

6.17. Environmental Matters. Except to the extent that any of the following are not reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect:

(a) The facilities and properties owned, leased or operated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Properties”) do not to the knowledge of the Company after due inquiry contain and, to the knowledge of the Company during its period of ownership, lease or operation of the Properties, have not previously contained, any Materials of Environmental

Concern in amounts or concentrations which (i) constitute a violation of, or (ii) are reasonably expected to give rise to liability on the part of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries under, any applicable Environmental Law.

(b) The Properties and all operations at the Properties are in compliance, and during the five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made on the date of any Extension of Credit been in compliance, in all material respects with all applicable Environmental Laws, and there is no contamination of Materials of Environmental Concern at, under or about the Properties or violation of any Environmental Law with respect to the Properties or the business operated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on such Properties (the “Business”) which could materially interfere with the continued operation of the Properties or materially impair the fair saleable value thereof.

(c) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice of violation, alleged violation, non-compliance, liability or potential liability regarding or compliance or non-compliance with any applicable Environmental Laws with regard to any of the Properties or the Business, nor does the Company have knowledge or reason to believe that any such notice will be received or is being threatened.

(d) Materials of Environmental Concern have not to the knowledge of the Company after due inquiry been transported or disposed of from the Properties in violation of any applicable Environmental Law, nor have any Materials of Environmental Concern to the knowledge of the Company after due inquiry been generated, treated, stored or disposed of at, on or under any of the Properties in violation of, or in a manner that would reasonably be expected to give rise to liability on the part of the Company or its Subsidiaries under, any applicable Environmental Law.

(e) No judicial proceeding or governmental or administrative action is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, under any Environmental Law to which the Company or any Subsidiary is or will be named as a party with respect to the Properties or the Business, nor are there any consent decrees or other decrees, consent orders, administrative orders or other orders, or other administrative or judicial requirements outstanding under any Environmental Law with respect to the Properties or the Business.

(f) There has been no release of Materials of Environmental Concern at or from the Properties, or arising from or related to the operations of the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the Properties or otherwise in connection with the Business, in violation of any applicable Environmental Laws.

SECTION 11

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE ARRANGER

11.1. Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.

11.2. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact appointed as such by the Administrative Agent and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 11 shall apply to any such agent and attorney-in-fact of the Administrative Agent.

11.3. Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or Affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document with the consent of or at the request of the Majority Lenders or in the absence of its or such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Company or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Company.

11.4. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with the written request of the Majority Lenders (to the extent that the Majority Lenders make any such request in accordance with the Loan Documents), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

11.5. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Company referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Majority Lenders; 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 or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

11.6. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs

of the Company, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Company and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Company. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Company which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

11.7. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Arranger in their capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so), ratably according to their respective Commitment Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their Commitment Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, claims, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, claims, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this subsection shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

11.8. Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. With respect to the Loans made by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

11.9. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, each Issuing Bank and the Company. The Majority Lenders shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of any such notice of resignation, in consultation with the Company, appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall, unless an Event of Default shall then be continuing, be subject to approval by the Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon the date of such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. The fees payable by the Company to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable by the Company to the retiring Administrative Agent unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 11 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

11.10. The Arranger. The Arranger, in such capacity, shall have no duties or responsibilities, and shall incur no obligations or liabilities, under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Company may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Assignee in accordance with the provisions of clause (c) of this subsection, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of clause (b) of this subsection, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection 12.6(f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection 12.6(f) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the

performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Extension of Credit for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Company, the other Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells any such participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by the Company therefrom, except that such agreement or instrument may provide that the Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any such amendment, waiver or consent that would (i) reduce the principal of, or interest on (except in connection with any waiver of applicability of any increase in interest rates during the continuance of an Event of Default), the Loans or any fees payable to all of the Lenders hereunder, or postpone the date of the final maturity of the Loans, in each case solely to the extent such amendment, waiver or consent directly affects the Loan or Loans in which the Participant is participating (provided that any waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not constitute any amendment to the terms of any such participation, and that any increase in any Commitment or in the principal amount of any Loan or any interest thereon shall be permitted without the consent of any Participant if the Participant’s participation in any Loan is not increased as a result thereof). The Company agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in subsection 12.7(a) as fully as if it were a Lender hereunder. In the case of any such participation, the Participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (the Participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation being limited solely to those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the Participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Company hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation to such Participant; provided that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of subsections 5.4, 5.5 and 5.6 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if it were a Lender; and provided, further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such subsection than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred. A Participant that would be a Non-U.S. Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of subsection 5.5 unless the Company is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Company, to comply with subsection 5.5 as though it were a Lender.

(c) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time and from time to time assign to any Lender or any Affiliate thereof or, with the consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent (which in each case shall not be unreasonably withheld), to an additional bank or financial institution (an “Assignee”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and

the other Loan Documents pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance executed by such Assignee, such assigning Lender (and, in the case of an Assignee that is not then a Lender or an affiliate thereof, by the Company and the Administrative Agent) and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register, provided that, in the case of any such assignment to an additional bank or financial institution, the aggregate amount of the Commitment being assigned and, if such assignment is of less than all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment remaining with the assigning Lender are each not less than $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Company and the Administrative Agent). Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with a Commitment as set forth therein, and (y) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such assigning Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). Notwithstanding any provision of this paragraph (c) and paragraph (e) of this subsection, the consent of the Company shall not be required for any assignment which occurs at any time when any of the events described in subsection 10(f)(i) or (ii) shall have occurred and be continuing.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Company, maintain at the address of the Administrative Agent referred to in subsection 12.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing by the Company to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Loan or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any assignment of any Loan or other obligation hereunder shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee (and, in the case of an Assignee that is not then a Lender or an affiliate thereof, by the Company and the Administrative Agent) together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500, the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the Company.

(f) The Company authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee, subject to the provisions of subsection 12.16, any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Company and its Affiliates which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf

of the Company in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Company and its Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement, provided, that the Lenders shall take such steps as reasonably necessary to ensure that confidential information will be treated in a confidential manner as required by subsection 12.16.

(g) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this subsection concerning assignments of Loans relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law.

12.7. Adjustments; Set-off. (a) If any Lender (a “benefitted Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans or other Company Obligations then due and owing, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in subsection 10(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans or other Company Obligations then due and owing, or interest thereon, such benefitted Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and purchase (for cash at face value) from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loans or other Company Obligations, or shall make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, as shall be necessary to cause such benefitted Lender to share the excess payment ratably by the Lenders in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other Company Obligations owing to them; provided, however, that if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest; and the provisions of this subsection shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or other Company Obligations to any Transferee, other than to the Company (as to which the provisions of this subsection shall apply).

(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Company, any such notice being expressly waived by the Company to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Company hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims (other than Hedging Agreements entered into by the Company and such Lender), in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Company. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Company and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

12.8. Judgment. (a) If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one 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 the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligation of the Company in respect of any sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the Agreement Currency, the Company agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be), such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) agrees to remit to the Company such excess.

12.9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile transmission), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Company and the Administrative Agent. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

12.10. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

12.11. Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the agreement of the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

12.12. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

12.13. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. The Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the Courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to xxx in any other jurisdiction; and

(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this subsection any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

12.14. Acknowledgements. The Company hereby acknowledges that:

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

(b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to the Company arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between Administrative Agent and Lenders, on one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among the Company and the Lenders.

12.15. WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. THE COMPANY, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

(a) Each of the Administrative Agent, each other Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender agrees to keep confidential all information provided to it by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement, other than any information that is available to such Person on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Information”); provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Lender from disclosing any such Information (i) to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (ii) to any Transferee or prospective Transferee which agrees to be bound by the provisions of this subsection 12.16 or substantially equivalent provision, (iii) to its employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors (it being understood that all such Persons to whom disclosure is made shall be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and shall be instructed to and agree to keep such information strictly confidential), (iv) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over it, (v) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, (vi) which has been publicly disclosed by the Company, or (vii) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder.
