SECTION 2.2. Procedure for Advances of Revolving Credit Loans. (a) Requests for Borrowing. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable prior written notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (a “Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing”) not later than 11:00 a.m. (Charlotte time) (i) on the same Business Day as each Base Rate Loan and (ii) at least three (3) Business Days before each LIBOR Rate Loan, of its intention to borrow, specifying (A) the date of such borrowing, which shall be a Business Day, (B) the amount of such borrowing, which shall be in an amount equal to the unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment, or if less, (x) with respect to Base Rate Loans in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof and (y) with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans in an

aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (C) whether such Revolving Credit Loan is to be a LIBOR Rate Loan or Base Rate Loan, and (D) in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan, the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto. Notices received after 11:00 a.m. (Charlotte time) shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of each Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing.

(b) Disbursement of Revolving Credit Loans. Not later than 2:00 p.m. (Charlotte time) on the proposed borrowing date, each Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Borrower, at the office of the Administrative Agent in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Credit Loans to be made on such borrowing date. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of each borrowing requested pursuant to this Section 2.2 in immediately available funds by crediting or wiring such proceeds to the deposit account of the Borrower identified in the most recent notice of account designation, substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto (a “Notice of Account Designation”), delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or as may be otherwise agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent from time to time. Subject to Section 5.7 hereof, the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to disburse the portion of the proceeds of any Revolving Credit Loan requested pursuant to this Section 2.2 for which any Lender is responsible to the extent that such Lender has not made available to the Administrative Agent its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Revolving Credit Loan.

SECTION 2.3. Repayment of Revolving Credit Loans. (a) Repayment on Termination Date. The Borrower shall repay the outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans in full on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon.

(b) Mandatory Repayment of Excess Extensions of Credit. (i) If at any time the outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans plus the Dollar Amount of all outstanding L/C Obligations exceeds the Revolving Credit Commitment, the Borrower shall repay immediately upon notice from the Administrative Agent, by payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, Revolving Credit Loans and/or furnish cash collateral reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or repay the L/C Obligations in an amount equal to such excess. Such cash collateral shall be applied in accordance with Section 12.2(b).

(ii) Excess Alternative Currency Letters of Credit. If the Administrative Agent shall determine that the outstanding principal Dollar Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency exceeds one hundred and five percent (105%) of the lesser of (A) the L/C Commitment less the sum of the outstanding principal amount of all L/C Obligations denominated in Dollars and (B) the Alternative Currency L/C Commitment, in each case as of the last Business Day of any calendar month during the term hereof, then not later than three (3) Business Days after notice of the amount of such excess from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, the Borrower shall deposit an amount in Dollars equal to such excess with the Administrative Agent to be held as cash collateral in accordance with Section 12.2(b).

(c) Optional Repayments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time repay the Revolving Credit Loans, in whole or in part, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans and one (1) Business Day’s irrevocable notice with respect to Base Rate Loans, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (a “Notice of Prepayment”) specifying the date and amount of repayment and whether the repayment is of LIBOR Rate Loans, Base Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, and, if of a

combination thereof, the amount allocable to each. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date set forth in such notice. Partial repayments shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof with respect to Base Rate Loans and $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans.

(d) Limitation on Repayment of LIBOR Rate Loans. The Borrower may not repay any LIBOR Rate Loan on any day other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto unless such repayment is accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 5.10 hereof.

SECTION 2.4. Evidence of Debt. (a) The Administrative Agent shall maintain a register and a subaccount therein for each Lender (the “Register”), in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Revolving Credit Loan made hereunder, including each Revolving Credit Loan evidenced by a Revolving Credit Note, and each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(b) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to Section 2.4(a) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrowers therein recorded, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Revolving Credit Loans made to the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) The Borrower hereby agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a Revolving Credit Note of such Borrower evidencing the Revolving Credit Loans of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit A.

SECTION 2.5. Permanent Reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment (a) Voluntary Reduction. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time, upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, to permanently reduce, without premium or penalty, (i) the entire Revolving Credit Commitment at any time or (ii) portions of the Revolving Credit Commitment, from time to time, in an aggregate principal amount not less than $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

(b) Each permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment made pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be accompanied, if necessary, by a payment of principal sufficient to reduce the aggregate outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations, as applicable, after such reduction to the Revolving Credit Commitment as so reduced and if the Revolving Credit Commitment as so reduced is less than the aggregate amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, the Borrower shall be required to deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the amount by which the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit exceeds the Revolving Credit Commitment as so reduced. Any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment to zero (including upon termination of the Revolving Credit Facility on the Revolving Credit Termination Date) shall be accompanied by payment of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans (and furnishing of cash

collateral satisfactory to the Administrative Agent for all L/C Obligations) and shall result in the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment and the Revolving Credit Facility. Such cash collateral shall be applied in accordance with Section 12.2(b). If the reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment requires the repayment of any LIBOR Rate Loan, such repayment shall be accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 5.10 hereof.

SECTION 2.6. Termination of Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility shall terminate on the earliest of (a) June 15, 2009, (b) the date of termination of the entire Revolving Credit Commitment by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.5(a), and (c) the date of termination by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders pursuant to Section 12.2(a).

ARTICLE III LETTER OF CREDIT FACILITY

SECTION 3.1. L/C Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue trade and standby letters of credit (“Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower and its specified Subsidiaries on any Business Day from the Closing Date to but not including the Revolving Credit Termination Date in such form as may be approved from time to time by such Issuing Lender; provided, however, that no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (a) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment or (b) the L/C Obligations on account of Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency would exceed the Alternative Currency L/C Commitment or (c) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, plus the aggregate principal amount of L/C Obligations would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in (A) Dollars, if such Letter of Credit is a standby Letter of Credit, or (B) Dollars or an Alternative Currency, if such Letter of Credit is a trade Letter of Credit, (ii) be a trade or standby letter of credit issued to support obligations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, contingent or otherwise, incurred in the ordinary course of business, (iii) expire on a date no later than ten Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, and (iv) be subject to the Uniform Customs and/or ISP 98, as set forth in the Application or as determined by the applicable Issuing Lender and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of New York. No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any Applicable Law. References herein to “issue” and derivations thereof with respect to Letters of Credit shall also include extensions or modifications of any existing Letters of Credit, unless the context otherwise requires. Each Outstanding Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued under this Agreement.

SECTION 3.2. Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrower may from time to time request that any Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit (or amend, extend or renew an outstanding Letter of Credit) by delivering to such Issuing Lender at any Issuing Lender’s office at any address mutually acceptable to the Borrower and such Issuing Lender an Application therefor, including, if applicable, the office of such Issuing Lender’s Correspondent, completed to the satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender may reasonably request. Upon receipt of any Application, such Issuing Lender shall process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall, subject to Section 3.1 and Article VI hereof, promptly issue the Letter of Credit (or amend, extend or renew the outstanding Letter of Credit) requested thereby (but in no event shall any Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit (or amend, extend or renew an outstanding Letter of Credit) earlier than three (3) Business Days after its

receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed by such Issuing Lender and the Borrower. Within fifteen (15) Business Days after the end of each month, the Administrative Agent shall report to each Lender the average daily outstandings for each day in such month for all Letters of Credit during the previous month.

SECTION 3.3. Fees and Other Charges. (a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants, a letter of credit fee (the “L/C Fee”) (i) with respect to each trade Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to the Applicable Margin for trade Letters of Credit times the average daily undrawn amount of such issued Letter of Credit as reported by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.2 and (ii) with respect to each standby Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to the Applicable Margin for standby Letters of Credit times the face amount of such Letter of Credit. Such fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears (x) for trade Letters of Credit, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the end of each calendar quarter and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date and (y) for standby Letters of Credit, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the end of each calendar quarter and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

(b) In addition to the foregoing commission, the Borrower shall pay the Issuing Lenders an issuance fee of one eighth percent (1/8%) per annum on the face amount of each standby Letter of Credit, payable quarterly in arrears within fifteen (15) Business Days after the end of each calendar quarter of each calendar quarter and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, distribute to each Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants all fees received by the Administrative Agent in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages.

SECTION 3.4. L/C Participations. (a) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce such Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from such Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage in such Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender upon demand at such Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount in Dollars equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the Dollar Amount of such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed, such payment to be made by the making of a Base Rate Loan in Dollars pursuant to Section 3.5(c) below.

(b) Upon becoming aware of any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to any Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall notify each L/C Participant of the amount and due date of such required payment and such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender the amount specified on the applicable due date. If any such amount is paid to such Issuing Lender after the date such

payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender on demand, in addition to such amount, the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent during the period from and including the date such payment is due to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender, 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. A certificate of any Issuing Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 3.4(b) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. With respect to payment to any Issuing Lender of the unreimbursed amounts described in this Section 3.4(b), if the L/C Participants receive notice that any such payment is due (A) prior to 1:00 p.m. (Charlotte time) on any Business Day, such payment shall be due that Business Day, and (B) after 1:00 p.m. (Charlotte time) on any Business Day, such payment shall be due on the following Business Day.

(c) Whenever, at any time after any Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such payment in accordance with this Section 3.4, such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, or any payment of interest on account thereof), such Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof in accordance with such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage; provided, that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to such Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender to it.

SECTION 3.5. Reimbursement. (a) Reimbursement by the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender on each date the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower of the date and amount of a draft paid under any Letter of Credit for the amount of (i) such draft so paid and (ii) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by any Issuing Lender in connection with such payment (other than those payable pursuant to Section 3.5(b) below). Each such payment shall be made to any Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein (i) in Dollars if such Letter of Credit was denominated in Dollars or (ii) in Dollars or the applicable Alternative Currency, at the option of the Borrower, if such Letter of Credit was denominated in an Alternative Currency, and in each case, in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on any and all amounts remaining unpaid by the Borrower under this Article III from the day immediately following the date such amounts become payable (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) until payment in full at the rate which would be payable on any outstanding Base Rate Loans which were then overdue.

(b) Exchange Indemnification and Increased Costs. The Borrower shall, upon demand from any Issuing Lender or L/C Participant, pay to such Issuing Lender or L/C Participant, the amount of (i) any loss or cost or increased cost incurred by such Issuing Lender or L/C Participant, (ii) any reduction in any amount payable to or in the effective return on the capital to such Issuing Lender or L/C Participant, (iii) any currency exchange loss, in each case with respect to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), that such Issuing Lender or L/C Participant sustains as a result of the Borrower’s repayment in Dollars of any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency or (iv) any interest or any other return, including principal, foregone by such Issuing Lender as a result of the introduction of, change over to or operation of the euro in any member state participating in the euro. A certificate of such Issuing Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for determining such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Issuing Lender shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error.

(c) Reimbursement by the Lenders. If the Borrower fails to timely reimburse such Issuing Lender on the date the Borrower receives the notice referred to in this Section 3.5, the Borrower shall be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.2 hereunder to the Administrative Agent requesting the Lenders to make a Base Rate Loan on such date in an amount in Dollars equal to the Dollar Amount (as of the date of funding of such Base Rate Loan by each Lender) of such draft paid, together with any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by any Issuing Lender and to be reimbursed pursuant to this Section 3.5 and, regardless of whether or not the conditions precedent specified in Article VI have been satisfied, the Lenders shall make Base Rate Loans in such amount, the proceeds of which shall be applied to reimburse such Issuing Lender for the amount of the related drawing and costs and expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 3.5 shall obligate the Lenders to make such Base Rate Loans if the making of such Base Rate Loans would violate the automatic stay under federal bankruptcy laws.

SECTION 3.6. Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this Article III (including without limitation the Reimbursement Obligation) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower may have or have had against any Issuing Lender or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit. The Borrower also agrees with each Issuing Lender that no Issuing Lender shall be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligation under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, 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, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. No Issuing Lender shall 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 Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the Uniform Customs and/or ISP 98, as set forth in the Application or as determined by the Issuing Lender and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of New York, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of any Issuing Lender to the Borrower. The responsibility of each Issuing Lender to the Borrower 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 conformity with such Letter of Credit.

SECTION 3.7 Effect of Application. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Article III, the provisions of this Article III shall apply.

ARTICLE IV [RESERVED]

ARTICLE V GENERAL LOAN PROVISIONS

SECTION 5.1. Interest. (a) Interest Rate Options. Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.1, at the election of the Borrower, the aggregate principal balance of any Revolving Credit Loans shall bear interest at (i) the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or (ii) the LIBOR Rate plus the

Applicable Margin; provided that LIBOR Rate Loans shall not be available until three (3) Business Days after the Closing Date unless the Borrower executes and delivers an indemnity in favor of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in form and substance satisfactory to them. The Borrower shall select the rate of interest and Interest Period, if any, applicable to any Revolving Credit Loan at the time a Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing is given pursuant to Section 2.2 or at the time a Notice of Conversion/Continuation is given pursuant to Section 5.2. Each Revolving Credit Loan or portion thereof bearing interest based on the Base Rate shall be a “Base Rate Loan”, and each Revolving Credit Loan or portion thereof bearing interest based on the LIBOR Rate shall be a “LIBOR Rate Loan.” Any Revolving Credit Loan or any portion thereof as to which the Borrower has not duly specified an interest rate as provided herein shall be deemed a Base Rate Loan.

(b) Interest Periods. In connection with each LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrower, by giving notice at the times described in Section 5.1(a), shall elect an interest period (each, an “Interest Period”) to be applicable to such Loan, which Interest Period shall be a period of one (1), two (2), three (3), or six (6) months (or nine (9) or twelve (12) months or any other period if available from all Lenders) with respect to each LIBOR Rate; provided that:

(i) the Interest Period shall commence on the date of advance of or conversion to any LIBOR Rate Loan and, in the case of immediately successive Interest Periods, each successive Interest Period shall commence on the date on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;

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

(iii) any Interest Period that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period) shall end on the last Business Day of the relevant calendar month at the end of such Interest Period;

(iv) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Revolving Credit Termination Date; and

(v) there shall be no more than six (6) Interest Periods for Revolving Credit Loans in effect at any time.

(c) Default Rate. Subject to Section 12.3, at the discretion of the Administrative Agent and Required Lenders, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) the Borrower shall no longer have the option to request LIBOR Rate Loans, (ii) all outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum two percent (2%) in excess of the rate then applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans, as applicable, until the end of the applicable Interest Period and thereafter at a rate equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans, and (iii) all outstanding Base Rate Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans. Interest shall continue to accrue on the amount of Revolving Credit Loans outstanding after the filing by or against the Borrower of any petition seeking any relief in bankruptcy or under any act or law pertaining to insolvency or debtor relief, whether state, federal or foreign.

(d) Interest Payment and Computation. Interest on each Base Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter commencing June 30, 2004; and interest on each LIBOR Rate Loan shall be payable on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto, and if such Interest Period exceeds three (3) months, at the end of each three (3) month interval during such Interest Period. Interest on LIBOR Rate Loans and all fees payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and assessed for the actual number of days elapsed and interest on Base Rate Loans shall be computed on the basis of a 365/66-day year and assessed for the actual number of days elapsed.

(e) Maximum Rate. In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts deemed interest hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents charged or collected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or pursuant to any other Loan Document exceed the highest rate permissible under any Applicable Law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that such a court determines that the Lenders have charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the highest applicable rate, the rate in effect hereunder shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law and the Lenders shall at the Administrative Agent’s option (i) promptly refund to the Borrower any interest received by Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful rate or (ii) shall apply such excess to the principal balance of the Obligations. It is the intent hereof that the Borrower not pay or contract to pay, and that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender receive or contract to receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be paid by the Borrower under Applicable Law.

SECTION 5.2. Notice and Manner of Conversion or Continuation of Revolving Credit Loans. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, the Borrower shall have the option (a) to convert all or any portion of its outstanding Base Rate Loans in a principal amount equal to $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof into one or more LIBOR Rate Loans and (b), (i) to convert all or any part of its outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans in a principal amount equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof into Base Rate Loans or (ii) to continue such LIBOR Rate Loans as LIBOR Rate Loans for an additional Interest Period; provided that if any conversion or continuation is made prior to the expiration of any Interest Period, the Borrower shall pay any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 5.10 hereof. Whenever the Borrower desires to convert or continue Revolving Credit Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable prior written notice in the form attached as Exhibit E (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) not later than 11:00 a.m. (Charlotte time) three (3) Business Days before the day on which a proposed conversion or continuation of such Revolving Credit Loan is to be effective (except in the case of a conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan in which case same day notice by the Borrower shall be sufficient) specifying (A) the Revolving Credit Loans to be converted or continued, and, in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loan to be converted or continued, the last day of the Interest Period therefor, (B) the effective date of such conversion or continuation (which shall be a Business Day), (C) the principal amount of such Revolving Credit Loans to be converted or continued, and (D) the Interest Period to be applicable to such converted or continued LIBOR Rate Loan. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of such Notice of Conversion/Continuation.

SECTION 5.3. Fees. (a) Commitment Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, a non-refundable commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin on the unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment. The Commitment Fee shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter for the period commencing on the Amendment Date and ending on the

Revolving Credit Termination Date. The Commitment Fee shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Lenders’ respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages.

(b) Administrative Agent’s and Other Fees. In order to compensate the Administrative Agent for its obligations hereunder, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its account, the fees set forth in the separate fee letter agreement executed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent dated May 25, 2004.

SECTION 5.4. Manner of Payment. Each payment by the Borrower on account of the principal of or interest on the Revolving Credit Loans or of any fee, commission or other amounts (including the Reimbursement Obligation) payable to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made not later than 1:00 p.m. (Charlotte time) on the date specified for payment under this Agreement to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the account of the Lenders (other than as set forth below) pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (except as specified below), in Dollars, in immediately available funds and shall be made without any set-off, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever. Any payment received after such time but before 2:00 p.m. (Charlotte time) on such day shall be deemed a payment on such date for the purposes of Section 12.1, but for all other purposes shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Any payment received after 2:00 p.m. (Charlotte time) shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day for all purposes. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of each such payment, the Administrative Agent shall distribute to each Lender at its address for notices set forth herein its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage (except as specified below), and shall wire advice of the amount of such credit to each Lender. Each payment to the Administrative Agent of the L/C Participants’ commissions shall be made in like manner, but for the account of the L/C Participants. Each payment to the Administrative Agent of Administrative Agent’s fees or expenses shall be made for the account of the Administrative Agent and any amount payable to any Lender under Article IV or Section 5.9, 5.10, 5.11, 5.12 or 14.2 shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lender. Subject to Section 5.1(b)(ii), if any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be specified to be made upon a day which is not a Business Day, it shall be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in computing any interest if payable along with such payment.

SECTION 5.5. Crediting of Payments and Proceeds. In the event that the Borrower shall fail to pay any of the Obligations when due and the Obligations have been accelerated pursuant to Section 12.2, all payments received by the Lenders upon the Obligations and all net proceeds from the enforcement of the Obligations shall be applied first to all expenses then due and payable by the Borrower hereunder, then to all indemnity obligations then due and payable by the Borrower hereunder, then to all Administrative Agent’s fees then due and payable, then to all commitment and other fees and commissions then due and payable, then to accrued and unpaid interest hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and Reimbursement Obligation (pro rata in accordance with all such amounts due), then to the principal amount hereunder or under any other Loan Document, Reimbursement Obligation and any termination payments due in respect of a Hedging Agreement with any Lender or Affiliate of a Lender (which Hedging Agreement is permitted hereunder) (pro rata in accordance with all such amounts due) and then to the cash collateral account described in Section 12.2(b) hereof to the extent of any L/C Obligations then outstanding, in that order.

SECTION 5.6. Adjustments. If any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or interest thereon, or if any Lender shall at any time receive any collateral in respect to the Obligations owing to it (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders such portion of each such other Lender’s Extensions of Credit Obligations, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Borrower agrees that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Extensions of Credit may exercise all rights of payment (including, without limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion.

SECTION 5.7. Nature of Obligations of Lenders Regarding Extensions of Credit; Assumption by the Administrative Agent. The obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement to make the Revolving Credit Loans and issue or participate in Letters of Credit are several and are not joint or joint and several. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to a proposed borrowing date that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of the amount to be borrowed on such date (which notice shall not release such Lender of its obligations hereunder), the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the proposed borrowing date in accordance with Sections 2.2(b), and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If such amount is made available to the Administrative Agent on a date after such borrowing date, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand an amount, until paid, equal to the product of (a) the amount not made available by such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, times (b) the daily average Federal Funds Rate during such period as determined by the Administrative Agent, times (c) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse from and including such borrowing date to the date on which such amount not made available by such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof shall have become immediately available to the Administrative Agent and the denominator of which is 360. A certificate of the Administrative Agent with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 5.7 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days of such borrowing date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount made available by the Administrative Agent with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to such borrowing, on demand, from the Borrower. The failure of any Lender to make available its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any Revolving Credit Loan requested by the Borrower shall not relieve it or any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Revolving Credit Loan available on the borrowing date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Revolving Credit Loan available on the borrowing date.

SECTION 5.8. Joint and Several Liability of the Credit Parties. (a) Each of the Credit Parties is jointly and severally liable not merely as a surety but as a co-debtor for each and every Obligation. Each of the Credit Parties is accepting joint and several liability hereunder in

consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the Lenders under this Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly or indirectly, of each of the Credit Parties and in consideration of the undertakings of each of the Credit Parties to accept joint and several liability for the Obligations.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each Credit Party hereby waives promptness, diligence, presentment, demand, protest, notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of any and all advances of the Revolving Credit Loans and Letters of Credit made under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, notice of occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, or of any demand for any payment under this Agreement and notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or any Lender under or in respect of any of the Obligations hereunder. Each Credit Party hereby waives all defenses which may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, any right to require the marshaling of assets of any of the Credit Parties and any other entity or person primarily or secondarily liable with respect to any of the Obligations, and all suretyship defenses generally. Each Credit Party hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment, or place or manner for payment, compromise, refinancing, consolidation or renewals of any of the Obligations hereunder, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by the Administrative Agent or any Lender at any time or times in respect of any default by any Credit Party in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in respect of any of the Obligations, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of such Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Credit Party or any other entity or person primarily or secondarily liable for any Obligation. If for any reason any of the Credit Parties has no legal existence or is under no legal obligation to discharge any of the Obligations, or if any of the Obligations have become irrecoverable from any of the Credit Parties by reason of such Credit Party’s insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization or by other operation of law or for any reason, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall nevertheless be binding on each of the other Credit Parties to the same extent as if such Credit Party at all times had been the sole obligor on such Obligations. The Obligations of each Credit Party under this Section 5.8 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

(c) If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any of the Credit Parties, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 5.8 will forthwith be reinstated in effect as though such payment had not been made.

(d) Until the payment and performance in full of all the Obligations, none of the Credit Parties shall exercise and each hereby waives any rights against the other Credit Parties as a result of payment by such Credit Party hereunder, by way of subrogation, reimbursement, restitution, contribution or otherwise, and none of the Credit Parties will prove any claim in competition with the Administrative Agent or any Lender in respect of any payment hereunder in bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization proceedings of any nature; none of the Credit Parties will claim any set-off, recoupment or counterclaim against any of the other Credit Parties in respect of any liability of one Credit Party to another Credit Party. Each of the Credit Parties hereby agrees that the payment of any amounts due with respect to any indebtedness owing by

any of the Credit Party to any other Credit Party is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations. Each Credit Party agrees that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default hereunder, none of the Credit Parties will demand, xxx for or otherwise attempt to collect any indebtedness of any other Credit Party to such Credit Party until all of the Obligations of the Credit Parties hereunder shall have been paid in full in cash. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, any Credit Party shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness in violation of the foregoing sentence while any Obligations of the Credit Parties are still outstanding, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such Credit Party as trustee for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and be paid over to the Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations without affecting in any manner the liability of such Credit Party under the other provisions hereof.

SECTION 5.9. Changed Circumstances. (a) Circumstances Affecting LIBOR Rate Availability. If with respect to any Interest Period: (i) the Administrative Agent or any Lender (after consultation with Administrative Agent) shall determine that, by reason of circumstances affecting the foreign exchange and interbank markets generally, deposits in the applicable currency, in the applicable amounts are not being quoted via British Bankers’ Association Interest Settlement Rates (or on any successor or substitute page of such service, or any successor to or substitute for such service, providing rate quotations comparable to those currently provided on such page of such service, as determined by the Administrative Agent from time to time for purposes of providing quotations of interest rates applicable to deposits of the applicable currency in the London interbank market) or offered to the Administrative Agent or such Lender for such Interest Period; or (ii) the Required Lenders reasonably determine (which determination shall be conclusive) and notify the Administrative Agent that the LIBOR Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Required Lenders of funding LIBOR Rate Loans for such Interest Period; then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans and the right of the Borrower to convert any Revolving Credit Loan to or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be suspended, and the Borrower shall repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then outstanding principal amount of each such LIBOR Rate Loan together with accrued interest thereon, on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Loan or convert the then outstanding principal amount of each such LIBOR Rate Loan as of the last day of such Interest Period.

(b) Laws Affecting LIBOR Rate Availability. If, after the Closing Date, the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) issued after the Closing Date of any such Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Borrower and the other Lenders. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans and the right of the Borrower to convert any Revolving Credit Loan or continue any Revolving Credit Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be suspended and thereafter the Borrower may select only Base Rate Loans hereunder, and (ii) if any of the Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain a LIBOR Rate Loan to the end of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto , the applicable Loan shall immediately be

converted to a Base Rate Loan or a Loan that bears interest at the Base Rate for the remainder of such Interest Period.

(c) Increased Costs. If, after the Closing Date, the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law, or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) issued after the Closing Date of such Authority, central bank or comparable agency:

(i) shall subject any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any Revolving Credit Loan, Letter of Credit or Application or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) of the principal of or interest on any Revolving Credit Loan, Letter of Credit or Application or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect thereof (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of any of the Lenders or any of their respective Lending Offices imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized or is or should be qualified to do business or such Lending Office is located); or

(ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit, insurance or capital or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) or shall impose on any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) or the foreign exchange and interbank markets any other condition affecting any Revolving Credit Loan; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the costs to any of the Lenders of maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit or to reduce the yield or amount of any sum received or receivable by any of the Lenders under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document in respect of a LIBOR Rate Loan or Letter of Credit or Application, then such Lender may promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of such fact and demand compensation therefor and, within fifteen (15) days after such notice by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Lenders for such increased cost or reduction. The Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender will promptly notify the Borrower of any event of which it has knowledge which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 5.9(c); provided, that the Administrative Agent shall incur no liability whatsoever to the Lenders or the Borrower in the event it fails to do so. The amount of such compensation shall be determined, in the applicable Lender’s reasonable discretion, based upon the assumption that such Lender funded its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the LIBOR Rate Loans in the London interbank market and using any reasonable attribution or averaging methods which such Lender deems appropriate and practical; provided that no compensation shall be payable pursuant to the above if the applicable Lender fails to demand compensation for such increased costs within one-hundred eighty (180) days following the date on which such Lender has actual knowledge of the event resulting in such increase. A certificate of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be forwarded to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error.

(d) Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(i) If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 5.9, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.12, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (A) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to this Section 5.9 or Section 5.12, as the case may be, in the future and (B) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(ii) If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 5.9, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.12, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 14.10), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (A) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a participation in a Letter of Credit is being assigned, the Issuing Lender that issued such Letter of Credit), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Revolving Credit Loans and participations in Letters of Credit, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (C) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under this Section 5.9, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 5.10. Indemnity. The Borrower hereby indemnifies each of the Lenders against any loss or expense which may arise or be attributable to each Lender’s obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds acquired to effect, fund or maintain any Loan (a) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrower to make any payment when due of any amount due hereunder in connection with a LIBOR Rate Loan, (b) due to any failure of the Borrower to borrow on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing or Notice of Continuation/Conversion or (c) due to any payment, prepayment or conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor. The amount of such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to equal an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the LIBOR Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid, were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the applicable currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the London interbank

market; provided that no compensation shall be payable pursuant to the above if the applicable Lender fails to demand compensation for such increased costs within one-hundred eighty (180) days following the date on which such Lender has actual knowledge of the event resulting in such increase. A certificate of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be forwarded to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error.

SECTION 5.11. Capital Requirements. If either (a) the introduction of, or any change in, or in the interpretation of, any Applicable Law or (b) compliance with any guideline or request issued after the Closing Date from any central bank or comparable agency or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of, or has affected or would affect the amount of capital required to be maintained by, any Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to any Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and other commitments of this type, below the rate which the Lender or such other corporation could have achieved but for such introduction, change or compliance, then within five (5) Business Days after written demand by any such Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender from time to time as specified by such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or other corporation for such reduction; provided that no compensation shall be payable pursuant to the above if the applicable Lender fails to demand compensation for such increased costs within one-hundred eighty (180) days following the date on which such lender has actual knowledge of the event resulting in such increase. A certificate of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for determining such amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be forwarded to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error.

SECTION 5.12. Taxes. (a) Payments Free and Clear. Any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes or the Letters of Credit shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholding, and all liabilities with respect thereto excluding, (i) in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, income and franchise taxes imposed on (or measured by) its net income by the United States of America or by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or its principal office is located or is or should be qualified to do business or any political subdivision thereof, or in the case of any Lender, in which its applicable Lending Office is located (provided, however, that no Lender shall be deemed to be located in any jurisdiction solely as a result of taking any action related to this Agreement or the Notes or Letters of Credit) and (ii) any branch profits tax imposed by the United States of America or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction described in clause (i) above (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note or Letter of Credit to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (A) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.12) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the amount such party would have received had no such deductions been made, (B) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (C) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law, and (D) the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence of such payment to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in the manner provided in Section 5.12(d). The Borrower shall not, however, be required to pay

any amounts pursuant to clause (A) of the preceding sentence to any Foreign Lender or the Administrative Agent not organized under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (or the District of Columbia) if such Foreign Lender or the Administrative Agent fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (e) of this Section 5.12 or Section 5.9(d), as the case may be.

(b) Stamp and Other Taxes. In addition, the Borrower shall pay any present or future stamp, registration, recordation or documentary taxes or any other similar fees or charges or excise or property taxes, levies of the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof or any applicable foreign jurisdiction which arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the other Loan Documents (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 5.12) paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and reasonable expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared by a Lender or the Administrative Agent, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive, provided that if the Borrower reasonably believes that such Taxes or Other Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower, at the Borrower’s expense, to obtain a refund of such Taxes or Other Taxes. Such indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. If a Lender or the Administrative Agent shall become aware that it is entitled to receive a refund in respect of Taxes or Other Taxes, it promptly shall notify the Borrower of the availability of such refund and shall, within sixty (60) days after receipt of a request by the Borrower pursue or timely claim such refund at the Borrower’s expense. If any Lender or the Administrative Agent receives a refund in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes for which such Lender or the Administrative Agent has received payment from the Borrower hereunder, it promptly shall repay such refund (plus interest received, if any) to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 5.12 with respect to Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, agrees to return such refund (plus any penalties, interest or other charges required to be paid) to such Lender or the Administrative Agent in the event such Lender or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority.

(d) Evidence of Payment. Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 14.1, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of payment satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Delivery of Tax Forms. Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, on the Closing Date or concurrently with the delivery of the relevant Assignment and Acceptance, as applicable, (i) two United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI or Forms W-8BEN, as applicable (or successor forms), properly completed and certifying in each case that such Foreign Lender is entitled to a complete exemption from withholding or deduction for or on account of any United States federal income taxes, and (ii) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9 or successor applicable form, as the

case may be, to establish an exemption from United States backup withholding taxes. Each Foreign Lender further agrees to deliver to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI and Form W-8 or W-9, or successor applicable forms or manner of certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower, certifying in the case of a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI that such Foreign Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes (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 such forms inapplicable or the exemption to which such forms relate unavailable and such Foreign Lender notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not entitled to receive payments without deduction or withholding of United States federal income taxes) and, in the case of a Form W-8 or W-9, establishing an exemption from United States backup withholding tax.

(f) Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 5.12 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment.

With respect to any Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by it or participated in 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 an Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

SECTION 13.9. Resignation of the Administrative Agent; Successor Administrative Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor as provided below, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and the Credit Parties. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, subject to the approval of the Credit Parties (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which successor shall have minimum capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, been approved (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) by the Credit Parties or have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent reasonably acceptable to the Credit Parties (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), which successor shall have minimum capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations

hereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 13.9 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

SECTION 13.10. Syndication and Documentation Agents. Each Syndication Agent in its capacity as Syndication Agent and each documentation agent in its capacity as documentation agent shall have no duties or responsibilities and no liabilities under this Agreement or any other Loan Document but shall be entitled, in such capacity, to the same protections afforded to the Administrative Agent under this Article XIII.

SECTION 14.3. Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon and after the occurrence of any Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, the Lenders and any assignee or participant of a Lender in accordance with Section 14.10 are hereby authorized by the Credit Parties at any time

or from time to time, without notice to the Credit Parties or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Lenders, or any such assignee or participant to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of the Obligations irrespective of whether or not (a) the Lenders shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or (b) the Administrative Agent shall have declared any or all of the Obligations to be due and payable as permitted by Section 12.2 and although such Obligations shall be contingent or unmatured.

SECTION 14.4. Governing Law. This Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents, unless otherwise expressly set forth therein, shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

SECTION 14.5. Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably consents to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New York County, New York, in any action, claim or other proceeding arising out of any dispute in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, any rights or obligations hereunder or thereunder, or the performance of such rights and obligations. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably consents to the service of a summons and complaint and other process in any action, claim or proceeding brought by any other party hereto in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, any rights or obligations hereunder or thereunder, or the performance of such rights and obligations, on behalf of itself or its property, in the manner specified in Section 14.1. Nothing in this Section 14.5 shall affect the right of any of the parties hereto to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law or affect the right of any of the parties hereto to bring any action or proceeding against any other party hereto or its properties in the courts of any other jurisdictions.

SECTION 14.6. Waiver of Jury Trial. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, EACH LENDER AND EACH CREDIT PARTY HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THEY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION, CLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING, ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH OR RELATING TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS (“Dispute”) IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, ANY RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER, OR THE PERFORMANCE OF SUCH RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS.

SECTION 14.7. Reversal of Payments. To the extent any Credit Party makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent receives any payment or proceeds of the collateral which payments or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds repaid, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 14.8. Injunctive Relief; Punitive Damages. (a) Each of the parties to this Agreement recognizes that, in the event such party fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its

obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, any remedy of law may prove to be inadequate relief to the other parties hereto. Therefore, each of the parties hereto agrees that the other parties hereto, at such other party’s option, shall be entitled to pursue temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

(b) The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Credit Parties (on behalf of themselves and their Subsidiaries) hereby agree that no such Person shall have a remedy of punitive or exemplary damages against any other party to a Loan Document and each such Person hereby waives any right or claim to punitive or exemplary damages that they may now have or may arise in the future in connection with any Dispute, whether such Dispute is resolved through arbitration or judicially.

SECTION 14.9. Accounting Matters. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature shall be construed in accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time, provided that, if the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that the Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the Amendment Date in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change shall have become effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance therewith.

SECTION 14.10. Successors and Assigns; Participations. (a) Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, all future holders of the Notes, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that the Borrower shall not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender other than pursuant to Section 11.5.

(b) Assignment by Lenders. Each Lender may, with the consent of the Borrower (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and the consent of the Administrative Agent, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of the Extensions of Credit at the time owing to it and the Revolving Credit Notes held by it); provided that:

(i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all the assigning Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and all other rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(ii) if less than all of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment or Revolving Credit Loans is to be assigned, the Revolving Credit Commitment or Revolving Credit Loans so assigned shall not be less than $5,000,000;

(iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto (an “Assignment and Acceptance”), together with any Revolving Credit Note or Revolving Credit Notes subject to such assignment;

(iv) such assignment shall not, without the consent of the Borrower, on behalf of itself and the other Credit Parties, require the Borrower, or any other Credit Party, to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission or apply to or qualify the Revolving Credit Loans or the Revolving Credit Notes under the blue sky laws of any state;

(v) the assigning Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent an assignment fee of $3,000 upon the execution by such Lender of the Assignment and Acceptance; provided that no such fee shall be payable upon any assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate thereof; and

(vi) no consents will be required for assignments where the Eligible Assignee is an Affiliate of the assigning Lender.

Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be at least ten (10) Business Days after the execution thereof, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereby and (B) the Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned in such assignment, be released from its obligations under this Agreement.

(c) Rights and Duties upon Assignment. By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance.

(d) Register. The Administrative Agent shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and record the names and addresses of the Lenders and the amount of the Extensions of Credit with respect to each Lender from time to time in the Register.

No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Issuance of New Revolving Credit Notes. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Eligible Assignee together with any Revolving Credit Note or Revolving Credit Notes if any have been issued pursuant to this Agreement, subject to such assignment and the written consent to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is substantially in the form of Exhibit G:

(i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance;

(ii) record the information contained therein in the Register;

(iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, on behalf of itself and the other Credit Parties; and

(iv) promptly deliver a copy of such Assignment and Acceptance to the Borrower.

Within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice, if requested by the Eligible Assignee the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, in exchange for the surrendered Revolving Credit Note or Revolving Credit Notes, a new Revolving Credit Note or Revolving Credit Notes to the order of such Eligible Assignee in amounts equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and a new Revolving Credit Note or Revolving Credit Notes to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such new Revolving Credit Note or Revolving Credit Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Revolving Credit Note or Revolving Credit Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the assigned Revolving Credit Notes delivered to the assigning Lender. Each surrendered Revolving Credit Note or Revolving Credit Notes shall be canceled and returned to the Borrower.

(f) Participations. Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in all or a portion of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Extensions of Credit and the Notes held by it); provided that:

(i) each such participation shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000;

(ii) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Revolving Credit Commitment) shall remain unchanged;

(iii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations;

(iv) the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(v) such Lender shall not permit such participant the right to approve any waivers, amendments or other modifications to this Agreement or any other Loan Document other than waivers, amendments or modifications which would reduce the principal of or the interest rate on any Revolving Credit Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, extend the term or increase the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment, reduce the amount of any fees to which such participant is entitled, or extend any scheduled payment date for principal, interest or fees of any Revolving Credit Loan, except as expressly contemplated hereby or thereby; and

(vi) any such disposition shall not, without the consent of the Borrower, on behalf of itself and the other Credit Parties, require the Borrower or any other Credit Party, to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission or apply to or qualify the Revolving Credit Loans or the Revolving Credit Notes under the blue sky law of any state.

(g) Disclosure of Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the

Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors and representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (g) with the prior written consent of the Credit Parties, (h) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (B) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Credit Parties or (i) to Gold Sheets and other similar bank trade publications, such information to consist of deal terms and other information (customarily found in such publications) upon the Credit Parties’ prior review and approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Credit Parties or any of their Subsidiaries relating to the Credit Parties or their business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Credit Parties; provided that, in the case of information received from the Credit Parties after the Closing Date (other than certificates or other information specifically required by the terms of this Agreement), such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

(h) Special Purpose Funding Vehicles. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle organized for the specific purpose of making or acquiring participations or investing in loans of the type made pursuant to this Agreement (a “SPC”), correctly identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Extension of Credit that such Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Extension of Credit and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Extension of Credit, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Extension of Credit pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of an Extension of Credit by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Revolving Credit Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Extension of Credit were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this clause, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the

Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interest in any Extension of Credit to the Granting Lender or to any financial institution (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Extensions of Credit and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to Extensions of Credit to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. This clause may not be amended without the written consent of each SPC.

(i) Certain Pledges or Assignments. Nothing herein shall prohibit any Lender from pledging or assigning any Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Applicable Law.

SECTION 14.11. Amendments, Waivers and Consents. Except as set forth below, any term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents may be amended or waived by the Lenders, and any consent given by the Lenders, if, but only if, (a) in the case of an amendment, waiver or consent for which a substantially similar corresponding amendment, waiver or consent with regard to the 2005 Credit Agreement will be made effective thereunder contemporaneously, such amendment, waiver or consent is in writing signed by the Required Lenders (or by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) and delivered to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of an amendment, signed by the Credit Parties and (b) in the case of any other amendment, waiver or consent specifically impacting only this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such amendment, waiver or consent is in writing signed by the Required Agreement Lenders (or by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Agreement Lenders) and delivered to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of an amendment, signed by the Credit Parties; provided, in each case, that:

(a) no amendment, waiver or consent shall (i) release any of the Credit Parties, (ii) increase the amount or extend the time of the obligation of the Lenders to make Revolving Credit Loans or issue or participate in Letters of Credit, (iii) extend the originally scheduled time or times of payment of the principal of any Revolving Credit Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or the time or times of payment of interest or fees on any Revolving Credit Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, (iv) reduce the rate of interest or fees payable on any Revolving Credit Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, (v) reduce the principal amount of any Revolving Credit Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, (vi) permit any subordination of the principal or interest on any Revolving Credit Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, (vii) permit any assignment (other than as specifically permitted or contemplated in this Agreement) of any of the Credit Parties’ rights and obligations hereunder or (viii) amend the provisions of this Section 14.11 or the definition of Required Lenders or Required Agreement Lenders, without the prior written consent of each Lender affected thereby; and

(b) no amendment, waiver or consent to the provisions of (i) Article XIII shall be made without the written consent of the Administrative Agent and (ii) Article III without the written consent of each Issuing Lender affected thereby.

SECTION 14.12. Performance of Duties. The Credit Parties’ obligations under this Agreement and each of the Loan Documents shall be performed by the Credit Parties at their sole cost and expense.

SECTION 14.13. All Powers Coupled with Interest. All powers of attorney and other authorizations granted to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and any Persons designated by the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable so long as any of the Obligations remain unpaid or unsatisfied or the Credit Facility has not been terminated.

SECTION 14.14. Survival of Indemnities. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, the indemnities to which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are entitled under the provisions of this Article XIV and any other provision of this Agreement and the Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Administrative Agent and the Lenders against events arising after such termination as well as before.

SECTION 14.15. Titles and Captions. Titles and captions of Articles, Sections and subsections in this Agreement are for convenience only, and neither limit nor amplify the provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 14.16. Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 14.17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and shall be binding upon all parties, their successors and assigns, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of any executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 14.18. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall remain in effect from the Closing Date through and including the date upon which all Obligations (other than obligations owing by any Credit Party to any Lender or Affiliate of a Lender or the Administrative Agent under any Hedging Agreement) shall have been indefeasibly and irrevocably paid and satisfied in full. No termination of this Agreement shall affect the rights and obligations of the parties hereto arising prior to such termination.

SECTION 14.19. Inconsistencies with Other Documents; Independent Effect of Covenants. (a) In the event there is a conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and any other Loan Document, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

(b) The Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that each covenant contained in Article IX, X, or XI hereof shall be given independent effect.

SECTION 14.20. Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each

borrower, guarantor or grantor (the “Loan Parties”), which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Act.

SECTION 14.21. Ratings of Loans. Each Lender hereby agrees that nothing in this agreement shall require or imply that the Loans shall be required to be rated by any nationally recognized securities rating organization.

SECTION 14.22. Consent Under 2005 Credit Agreement.
