2. COMMITMENTS OF LENDER.

2.1. Commitments to Make Loans. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time, on any Business Day during the Revolving Credit Period; provided, however, that after giving effect to all amounts requested, the Aggregate Note Principal Balance shall not exceed the lesser of (i) Aggregate Commitments and (ii) the Asset Base, calculated (in the case of clause (ii)) after giving effect to the addition of the Eligible Containers, if any, to be acquired with the proceeds of such Loan. Loans shall be LIBOR Rate Loans or, under the circumstances set forth in Section 5.4 or Section 5.5 hereof, a Cost of Funds Loan.

2.2. Requests for Loan. The Borrower shall give to the Administrative Agent written notice in the form of Exhibit D hereto (or telephonic notice confirmed in a writing in the form of Exhibit D hereto) of each Loan requested hereunder (a “Loan Request”) no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) three (3) LIBOR Business Days prior to any proposed Funding Date. Each such Loan Request shall specify (i) the principal amount of the Loan requested, (ii) the proposed Funding Date of such Loan and (iii) the Interest Period for such Loan. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each of the Lenders of such Loan Request. Each Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept the Loan requested from the Lenders on the proposed Funding Date. Unless the Majority Lenders otherwise consent, during the Revolving Credit Period there shall be no more than twelve (12) Funding Dates permitted during any twelve-month period. Each Loan Request shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000. The Borrower shall not be permitted to request any Loan on or after the Conversion Date, on which date any unfunded portion of the Commitments shall terminate, automatically and without notice or action of any kind.

2.3. The Revolving Credit Notes. The Loans shall be evidenced by separate promissory notes of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit E hereto (each a “Revolving Credit Note”), dated as of the Closing Date (or such other date on which a Lender may become a party hereto in accordance with Section 15 hereof) and completed with appropriate insertions. One Revolving Credit Note shall be payable to the order of each Lender in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment to make Loans or, if less, the outstanding amount of all Loans made by such Lender, plus interest and other amounts accrued thereon, as set forth below. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes each Lender to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of the Funding Date of any Loan or at the time of receipt of any payment of principal on such Lender’s Revolving Credit Note, an appropriate notation on such Lender’s Revolving

Credit Note Record reflecting the making of such Loan or the receipt of such payment (as the case may be). The outstanding amount of the Loans set forth on such Lender’s Revolving Credit Note Record shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to such Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on such Lender’s Revolving Credit Note Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any Revolving Credit Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Revolving Credit Note when due.

2.4. Termination or Reduction of Commitments; Increase in Commitments. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) three (3) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Aggregate Note Principal Balance would exceed the Aggregate Commitments. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its Commitment Percentage. All Fees accrued until the effective date of any termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination or reduction.

2.5. Bank Accounts and Payments.

2.5.1. Trust Account; Deposit of Collections.

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Borrower shall establish and maintain the Trust Account. The Trust Account shall be established in the name of the Borrower for the benefit of the Lenders with a bank or trust company acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. The Trust Account shall at all times be under the “control” (as defined in the UCC) of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of itself, the Lender and the Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Counterparties.

(b) The Borrower shall not establish any additional Trust Accounts without prior written notice to, and the prior written consent of, the Administrative Agent, in each instance.

(c) The Borrower shall cause the Manager to deposit into the Trust Account, at the times and in the amounts required pursuant to the terms of the

Management Agreement, all Gross Revenue relating to the Containers. The Borrower shall cause any Gross Revenue not deposited into a Manager Collection Account, including any such amounts received by the Manager, the Seller or any of their Affiliates, to be deposited into the Trust Account within three (3) Business Days after receipt of such payment. So long as no Manager Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, the Manager shall be permitted to request the Administrative Agent to withdraw (to the extent not previously withheld) from amounts on deposit in the Trust Account, or otherwise net out, from amounts otherwise required to be deposited to the Trust Account the amount of any Management Fee or Management Fee Arrearage that would otherwise be due and payable on the immediately succeeding Payment Date.

2.5.2. Repayment of Interest and Principal of Loans and Other Amounts.

(a) On each Payment Date, the Borrower shall, subject to the provisions of Section 13.1 hereof, pay, in the following order of priority:

(i) To the Manager, the Senior Management Fee, and so long as no Event of Default or Manager Default has occurred and is continuing, to the Manager, the Junior Management Fee and any Management Fee Arrearage, in each case to the extent not previously withheld by, or distributed to, the Manager in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents;

(ii) So long as no Event of Default or Manager Default has occurred and is continuing, to the Manager, the amount of any unreimbursed Manager Advances;

(iii) To the Lenders, on a pro rata basis based on the amounts then owing pursuant to this clause (iii), all interest payments then due and owing on the Notes;

(iv) To each Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty, on a pro rata basis based on the amounts then owing pursuant to this clause (iv), the amount of any scheduled payments (but not termination payments) then due and payable pursuant to the terms of any Interest Rate Hedging Agreement then in effect, together with any such amounts past due and any interest thereon;

(v) To the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent Fee then due and owing;

(vi) Each of the following on a pro rata basis:

(A) To each Lender, on a pro rata basis (calculated based on the then unpaid principal balance of their respective

Notes), an amount equal to the Scheduled Principal Payment Amount for such Payment Date; and

(B) To each Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Counterparty, on a pro rata basis based on the amounts then owing pursuant to this clause (vi)(B), the amount of any unpaid payments then due and payable (including termination payments) pursuant to the terms of any Interest Rate Hedging Agreement then in effect;

(vii) To each Lender, on a pro rata basis based on amounts then owing to each such lender pursuant to this clause (vii), all taxes, increased costs, indemnification, expenses and any other amounts due and owing to such Lender pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents;

(viii) To the Manager, the Management Fee and any Management Fee Arrearage, in each case to the extent not previously withheld by, or distributed to, the Manager in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents or pursuant to clause (i) above; and

(ix) To the Manager, the amount of any unreimbursed Manager Advances, to the extent not previously distributed to the Manager pursuant to clause (ii) above;

(b) For the sake of clarity, on the Conversion Date all Loans shall become Term Loans which will amortize over a period not to exceed ten (10) years.

(c) The unpaid principal balance of, and all accrued interest and other amounts owing on, or with respect to, the Revolving Credit Notes shall be payable in full on the earlier to occur of (x) the Maturity Date and (y) the date on which the Revolving Credit Notes and the other Obligations have been declared due and payable in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.1 hereof.

2.6. Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed Funding Date that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such requested Loan, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.1, and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable requested Loan available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to, but excluding, the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at, in the case of a

payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Administrative Agent’s Cost of Funds and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Loan to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s portion of the requested Loan.

2.7. Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the provisions of this Credit Agreement, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Loan set forth in Sections 11 and 12 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

2.8. Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to this Credit Agreement are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to make any payment under this Credit Agreement on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or to make its payment under this Credit Agreement.

2.9. Revolving Credit Facility. Prior to the Conversion Date, the credit facility evidenced by this Credit Agreement is a revolving credit facility. Accordingly, the Borrower will, subject to compliance with the terms of this Credit Agreement, have the right during the Revolving Credit Period to reborrow any amounts repaid to the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement.

3. [RESERVED].

4. PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL LOANS.

4.1. Interest on Loans.

4.1.1. Interest Rates. (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.10, the Loans shall bear interest during each Interest Period relating to all or any portion of the Loans at the following rates:

(i) To the extent that all or any portion of a Loan bears interest during such Interest Period at the Cost of Funds, such Loan or such portion shall bear interest during such Interest Period at the rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Applicable Margin and (ii) the Cost of Funds in effect from time to time.

(ii) To the extent that all or any portion of a Loan bears interest during such Interest Period based on the LIBOR Rate, such Loan or such portion shall bear interest during such Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the LIBOR Rate and (ii) the Applicable Margin.

The Borrower promises to pay interest on the Loans or any portion thereof outstanding during each Interest Period monthly in arrears on each Payment Date in accordance with Section 2.5.2.

(b) In no event shall the interest charged with respect to a Loan exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. If at any time the interest rate charged with respect to a Loan exceeds the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, the rate of interest to accrue pursuant to such Loan shall be limited to the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

4.1.2. Amounts. All Loans made by the Lenders shall be in the amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. No Interest Period relating to a Loan or any portion thereof shall extend beyond the Maturity Date.

4.2. Mandatory Repayments of the Loans.

4.2.1. Repayments or Acquisitions in Connection with the Asset Base Deficiency. On each Payment Date, the Borrower shall either (i) repay the Loans or (ii) acquire additional Eligible Finance Leases under the Sale Agreements, in each case to the extent necessary to cure any then existing Asset Base Deficiency (after taking into consideration any payment of principal (including the Scheduled Principal Payment Amount) made by the Borrower to the Lenders on such Payment Date). Any such repayment or acquisition pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.2.1 shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 4.3 hereof.

4.2.2. Application of Payments. All payments made pursuant to Section 4.2.1 or Section 4.3, shall be applied pro rata among the Loans.

4.3. Optional Prepayment of Loans. The Borrower shall have the right at any time to prepay one or more of the Loans on or before the Maturity Date, as a whole, or in part, upon delivery of written notice to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day prior to such prepayment, without premium or penalty, provided that (a) each partial prepayment shall be in the principal amount of $1,000,000 or multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof and (b) in the event that any LIBOR Rate Loan is prepaid at any time other than the end of an Interest Period applicable thereto (a “Breakage Prepayment”), the Borrower shall pay, upon demand, to each Lender an amount equal to such Lender’s Breakage Cost. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such prepayment. Any prepayment

of principal of a Loan shall include all interest accrued to the date of prepayment. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Loans of the Lenders in accordance with its respective Commitment Percentages.

4.4. Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Administrative Agent’s Cost of Funds and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 4.4 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

4.5. Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Credit Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

4.6. Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

5. CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS.

5.1. Fees.

5.1.1. Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay on each Payment Date during the Revolving Credit Period to the Administrative Agent, for the accounts of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages, a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) calculated at the rate of three-tenths of one percent (0.30%) per annum on the average daily amount during the related Collection Period by which the Aggregate Commitment in respect of the Loans exceeds the Aggregate Note Principal Balance. The Commitment Fee shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date for the immediately preceding Collection Period commencing on the first such date following the date hereof, with a final payment on the expiration or termination of the Revolving Credit Period.

5.1.2. Other Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders the fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Administrative Agent Fee Letter and the Fee Letter, respectively. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever. The Borrower shall also pay to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

5.2. Funds for Payments.

5.2.1. Payments to Administrative Agent. All payments of principal, interest, Fees and any other amounts due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent in Dollars, for the accounts of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent’s Office or at such other place that the Administrative Agent may from time to time designate, in each case at or about 1:00 p.m. (New York time or other local time at the place of payment) and in immediately available funds.

5.2.2. No Offset, etc.

(a) Subject to Section 5.2.3, all payments by the Borrower hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made without recoupment, setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes (including interest, penalties and additions to tax), levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless the Borrower is compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding. If any Non-Excluded Taxes are imposed upon the Borrower with respect to any amount payable by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, the Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be), on the date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder or under such other Loan Document, such additional amount in Dollars as shall be necessary to enable the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to receive the same net amount which the Lenders or the Administrative Agent would have received on such due date had no such Non-Excluded Taxes been imposed upon the Borrower. The Borrower will deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent certificates or other valid vouchers for all taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by the Borrower under such other Loan Document.

(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any current or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including, without limitation, mortgage recording taxes, transfer taxes and similar fees) imposed by the United States or any taxing authority thereof or therein that arise from any payment made hereunder (“Other Taxes”).

(c) Subject to Section 5.2.3, the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Lenders and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes (including additional amounts with respect thereto) and Other Taxes, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto (other than amounts arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be), provided that the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall have provided the Borrower with evidence, reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, of payment of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, as the case may be.

(d) Any Lender or the Administrative Agent that becomes entitled to the payment of additional amounts pursuant to Section 5.2.2(a) or indemnification pursuant to Section 5.2.2(c), such Person shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with applicable law) to file any document reasonably requested by the Borrower or, with respect to a Lender, to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending

office if the making of such a filing or change of office, as the case may be, would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any payment of such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the good faith determination of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, be disadvantageous to it.

(e) If a Lender or the Administrative Agent receives any refund or credit with respect to taxes for which the Borrower has paid any additional amounts pursuant to Section 5.2.2(a), then such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall promptly pay to the Borrower the portion of the sum of such refund or credit and any interest received with respect thereto as it determines, in its reasonable, good faith judgment, will leave it, after such payment, in no better or worse financial position than it would have been absent the imposition of such taxes and the payment of such additional amounts pursuant to Section 5.2.2(a); provided, however, that (i) the Borrower agrees to promptly return any amount paid to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.2.2(e) upon notice from such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, that such refund or any portion thereof is required to be repaid to the relevant taxing authority, (ii) nothing in this Section 5.2.2(e) shall require a Lender to disclose any confidential information to the Borrower (including, without limitation, its tax returns), and (iii) no Lender shall be required to pay any amounts pursuant to this Section 5.2.2(e) at any time which a Default or Event of Default exists (provided, that, upon the waiver or cure of any such Default or Event of Default, all such amounts that would otherwise be required to be paid pursuant to this Section 5.2.2(e) but for the effect of this clause (iii) shall be promptly so paid).

(f) If the Borrower determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting any Non-Excluded Taxes for which additional amounts have been paid pursuant to Section 5.2.2(a), the relevant Lender or Administrative Agent (to the extent such Person reasonably determines in good faith that it will not suffer any adverse effect as a result thereof) shall cooperate with the Borrower in challenging such Non-Excluded Taxes, at the Borrower’s expense, if so requested by the Borrower in writing.

5.2.3. Non-U.S. Lenders. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent that is not a U.S. Person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) hereby agrees that it shall, prior to the date of the first payment by the Borrower hereunder to be made to such Lender or the Administrative Agent or for such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s account (and thereafter when required to the extent it is legally entitled to do so), deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, as applicable, such certificates, documents or other evidence, as and when required by the Code, including (a) two (2) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI and any other certificate or statement of exemption req uired by the Code, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender or

the Administrative Agent establishing that with respect to payments of principal, interest or fees hereunder it is (i) not subject to United States federal withholding tax under the Code because such payment is effectively connected with the conduct by such Lender or Administrative Agent of a trade or business in the United States or (ii) totally exempt from United States federal withholding tax under a provision of an applicable tax treaty or (b) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is not legally entitled to deliver the forms specified in clause (a) and that is not a “bank” for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a certificate in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) and the Borrower and to the effect that (i) such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, is not subject to regulatory or other legal requirements as a bank in any jurisdiction, and has not been treated as a bank for purposes of any tax, securities law or other filing or submission made to any governmental authority, any application made to a rating agency or qualification for any exemption from any tax, securities law or other legal requirements, (ii) is not a ten (10) percent shareholder for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code and (iii) is not a controlled foreign corporation receiving interest from a related person for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, together with a properly completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN; provided, that a Lender that delivers the forms and certificate provided in clause (b) above must also deliver to the Borrower two accurate, complete and signed copies of either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or, in each case, an applicable successor form, establishing a complete exemption from withholding of U.S. federal income tax imposed on the payment of any fees to such Lender. Each Lender agrees that it shall, promptly upon a change of its lending office or the selection of any additional lending office, to the extent the forms previously delivered by it pursuant to this section are no longer effective, and promptly upon the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s reasonable request after the occurrence of any other event (including the passage of time) requiring the delivery of a Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI in addition to or in replacement of the forms previously delivered, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent it is properly entitled to do so, a properly completed and executed Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, as applicable (or any successor forms thereto). For any period with respect to which such Lender or Administrative Agent has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate, complete and accurate form or other relevant document pursuant to this Section 5.2.3 establishing a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law, or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Lender or Administrative Agent shall not be entitled to any “gross-up” of taxes or indemnification under Section 5.2.2 with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however, that should such a Lender or Administrative Agent, which is otherwise exempt from a withholding tax, become subject to Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such

Lender or Administrative Agent shall reasonably request, at such Lender’s or Administrative Agent’s expense, to assist such Lender or Administrative Agent to recover such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes.

5.3. Computations. All computations of interest on the Loans and of Fees shall be based on a 360-day year and paid for the actual number of days elapsed. Except as otherwise provided in the definition of the term “Interest Period” with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans, whenever a payment hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such extension. The outstanding amount of any Revolving Credit Note as reflected on its Record from time to time shall, absent manifest error, be considered correct and binding on the Borrower unless within five (5) Business Days after receipt of any notice by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders of such outstanding amount, the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall notify the Borrower to the contrary.

5.4. Inability to Determine LIBOR Rate. In the event, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period relating to any LIBOR Rate Loan, any Lender shall determine that (a) adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate that would otherwise determine the rate of interest to be applicable to any LIBOR Rate Loan during any Interest Period or (b) the LIBOR Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining their LIBOR Rate Loans during such period, such Lender shall forthwith give notice of such determination (which shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower) to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. In such event (i) any Loan Request with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans shall be automatically withdrawn and shall be deemed a request for Cost of Funds Loans, (ii) each LIBOR Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current Interest Period relating thereto, become a Cost of Funds Loan, and (iii) the obligations of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent determines that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower and the Lenders and each Cost of Funds Loan shall automatically convert to a LIBOR Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period.

5.5. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any present or future law, regulation, treaty or directive or the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans, such Lender shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances to the Borrower and the other Lenders and thereupon (a) the commitment of such Lender to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall forthwith be suspended and (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as LIBOR Rate Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Cost of Funds Loans on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loans or within such earlier

period as may be required by law. The Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, upon demand by such Lender describing in reasonable detail the nature of such increased costs and showing the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for any increased costs incurred by such Lender in making any conversion made necessary by events described above in this Section 5.5, including any interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder.

5.6. Additional Costs, etc. If any present or future applicable law, which expression, as used herein, includes statutes, rules and regulations thereunder and interpretations thereof by any competent court or by any governmental or other regulatory body or official charged with the administration or the interpretation thereof and requests, directives, instructions and notices at any time or from time to time hereafter made upon or otherwise issued to any Lender or the Administrative Agent by any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall:

(a) impose or increase or render applicable (other than to the extent specifically provided for elsewhere in this Credit Agreement, including without limitation, to the extent considered in the calculation of the LIBOR Rate) any special deposit, reserve, assessment, liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law) against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, or letters of credit issued by, or commitments of an office of any Lender, or

(b) impose on any Lender or the Administrative Agent any other conditions or requirements with respect to this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the LIBOR Rate Loans, such Lender’s Commitment to make LIBOR Rate Loans, or any class of loans or commitments of which any of the LIBOR Rate Loans or such Lender’s Commitment to make LIBOR Rate Loans forms a part, and the result of any of the foregoing is:

(c) to increase the cost to any Lender of making, funding, issuing, renewing, extending or maintaining any of the LIBOR Rate Loans or such Lender’s Commitment to make LIBOR Rate Loans, or

(d) to reduce the amount of principal, interest, or other amount payable to such Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder on account of such Lender’s Commitment to make LIBOR Rate Loans, or any of the LIBOR Rate Loans, or

(e) to require such Lender or the Administrative Agent to make any payment or to forego any interest or other sum payable hereunder in respect of any LIBOR Rate Loans, the amount of which payment or foregone interest or

other sum is calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum receivable or deemed received by such Lender or the Administrative Agent from the Borrower hereunder in respect thereof,

then, and in each such case, the Borrower will, upon demand made by such Lender or (as the case may be) the Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay to such Lender or the Administrative Agent such additional amounts as will be sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent for such additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest or other sum (other than taxes which shall be treated exclusively pursuant to Section 5.2.2).

The failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided, that the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Lender under this Section 5.6 for any increased costs with respect to any period prior to the date that is 120 days prior to such request if such Lender knew of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs and of the fact that such circumstances would result in a claim for increased compensation by reason of such increased costs.

5.7. Capital Adequacy. If after the date hereof any Lender or the Administrative Agent determines that (a) the adoption of or change in any law, governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) regarding capital requirements for banks or bank holding companies or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by a Governmental Authority with appropriate jurisdiction, or (b) compliance by such Lender or the Administrative Agent or any corporation controlling such Lender or the Administrative Agent with any law, governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such entity regarding capital adequacy, has the effect of reducing the return on such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s commitment with respect to any Loans to a level below that which such Lender or the Administrative Agent could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) to be material, then such Lender or the Administrative Agent may notify the Borrower of such fact. To the extent that the amount of such reduction in the return on capital is not reflected in the Cost of Funds or LIBOR Rate, the Borrower agrees to pay such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) for the amount of such reduction in the return on capital as and when such reduction is determined upon presentation by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of a certificate in accordance with Section 5.8 hereof. Such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) shall allocate such cost increases among its customers in good faith and on an equitable basis.

The failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided, that the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Lender under this Section 5.7 for any reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is 120 days prior to such request if such Lender knew of the circumstances giving rise to such reductions and of the fact that such circumstances would result in a claim for increased compensation by reason of such reductions.

5.8. Certificate. A certificate setting forth any additional amounts payable pursuant to Sections 5.6 or 5.7 and a brief explanation of such amounts which are due, submitted by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, that such amounts are due and owing.

5.9. Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from and against any loss, cost or expense (including loss of anticipated profits) that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in payment of the principal amount of or any interest on any LIBOR Rate Loans as and when due and payable, including any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans, (b) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing after the Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Loan Request relating thereto in accordance with Section 2.2, or (c) the making of any payment of a LIBOR Rate Loan that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period with respect thereto, including interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain any such Loans.

5.10. Interest After Default. Overdue principal and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) overdue interest on the Loans and all other overdue amounts payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall bear interest compounded monthly and payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) above the then applicable rate of interest under this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents until such amount shall be paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

6. COLLATERAL SECURITY.

6.1. Security of Borrower. Subject to the Security Documents, the Obligations are and shall continue to be secured by a perfected first priority security interest (subject only to Liens permitted hereunder which are entitled to priority under applicable law) in the Collateral specified in the Security Documents, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents to which the Borrower is a party.

7. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Credit Agreement and to make the Loans as provided for herein, Borrower makes the following representations, warranties and agreements with the Administrative Agent and Lenders, all of which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Credit Agreement and the making of the Loans (with the occurrence of the Closing Date and each Funding Date on or after the Closing Date being deemed to constitute a representation and warranty that the matters specified in this Section 7 are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Closing Date and on and as of such Funding Date unless stated to relate to a specific earlier date in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date):

7.1. Company Status. Borrower (i) is a duly organized and validly existing Company in good standing (or its equivalent) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization except where the failure to be so duly organized, validly existing and in good standing, either individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) has the Company power and authority to own its property and assets and to transact the business in which it is presently engaged, except where the failure to have such power and authority, either individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (iii) is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing (or its equivalent) in all jurisdictions where it is required to be so qualified (or its equivalent) and where the failure to be so qualified, either individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

7.2. Company Power and Authority. Borrower has the Company power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary Company action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party. Borrower has duly executed and delivered each Loan Document to which it is a party and each such Loan Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).

7.3. No Violation. Neither the execution, delivery or performance by the Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, nor compliance by the Borrower with the terms and provisions thereof, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein or therein, (i) will contravene any material provision of any applicable law, statute, rule or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, (ii) will

conflict or be inconsistent with or result in any breach of, any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or (other than pursuant to the Security Documents) result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien upon any of the property or assets of the Borrower pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, credit agreement or any other agreement, contract or instrument to which the Borrower is a party or by which it or any of its material property or assets are bound or to which it may be subject, or (iii) will violate any provision of the certificate of incorporation, by-laws, certificate of partnership, partnership agreement, certificate of limited liability company, limited liability company agreement or equivalent organizational document, as the case may be, of the Borrower.

7.4. Litigation. There are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened in writing (i) with respect to any Loan Document or (ii) with respect to any other matter, as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, either individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

7.5. Margin Regulations. No part of any Loan (or the proceeds thereof) will be used to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. Neither the making of any Loan nor the use of the proceeds thereof nor the occurrence of any other Loan will violate or be inconsistent with the provisions of Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X.

7.6. Governmental Approvals. Except as may have been obtained or made on or prior to the Closing Date (and which remain in full force and effect on the Closing Date), no order, consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any domestic or foreign governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, is required to authorize, in respect of the Borrower, or is required to be obtained by the Borrower in connection with (i) the execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of any Loan Document or (ii) the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any Loan Document with respect to the Borrower, in each case, except for (A) the filing of any Security Documents and (B) such the failure of which to make or obtain, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

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

7.8. [Reserved]

7.9. True and Complete Disclosure. All factual information (taken as a whole) furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower in writing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including, without limitation, all information contained in the Loan Documents) for purposes of or in connection with this Credit Agreement is, and all other such factual information (taken as a whole) hereafter furnished by, or on behalf of, the Borrower in writing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with this Credit Agreement will be, true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such information is dated or certified and not incomplete by omitting to state any material fact necessary to make such information (taken as a whole) not misleading in any material respect at such time in light of the circumstances under which such information was provided; provided, however, that to the extent that any such information was based upon or constitutes a forecast or projection, Borrower represents only that it acted in good faith and utilized assumptions believed by the management of the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made in the preparation of such information (it being understood by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that any financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered thereby may differ from the projected results set forth therein).

7.10. Financial Condition; Financial Statements. (a) On and as of the Closing Date, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to all Indebtedness (including the Loans) incurred, and to be incurred, and Liens created, and to be created, by Borrower in connection therewith, with respect the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) (x) the sum of the assets, at a fair valuation, of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) will exceed its or their debts, (y) they have not incurred nor intended to, nor believes that they will, incur debts beyond their ability to pay such debts as such debts mature and (z) they will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct their business in the manner such business is now conducted. For purposes of this Section 7.10(a), “debt” means any liability on a claim, and “claim” means (i) right to payment, whether or not such a right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured or unsecured or (ii) right to an equitable remedy for breach of performance if such breach gives rise to a payment, whether or not such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured or unsecured. The amount of contingent liabilities at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in the light of all facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.

(b) The consolidated balance sheets of Carlisle and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2007 and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows of Carlisle for the twelve months and fiscal quarter ended on such dates, in each case furnished to the Administrative Agent and Lenders prior to the Closing Date, present fairly

in all material respects the consolidated financial position of Carlisle and its Subsidiaries at the date of said balance sheets and the consolidated results of their operations for the respective periods covered thereby. All of the foregoing financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied (except, in the case of the aforementioned quarterly financial statements, for normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes).

(c) During the period from June 30, 2007 through the Closing Date, there has been no change in the business, financial condition or operations of the Borrower (other than the incurrence of Indebtedness under the Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby) that would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

7.11. Security Interests. On and after the Closing Date, each of the Security Documents creates as security in the principal domicile of the Borrower for the Obligations covered thereby, a valid and enforceable security interest in and Lien on all of the Collateral subject thereto, without prejudice to any statutory priority rights, superior to and prior to the rights of all third Persons, and subject to no other Liens except Liens permitted hereunder. The Borrower has filed or caused to be filed all UCC financing statements in the appropriate offices therefor (or has authenticated and delivered to the Administrative Agent UCC financing statements suitable for filing in such offices) and has taken all of the actions necessary in the United States to create perfected security interests in the Collateral which the Security Documents require the Borrower to create perfected security interests.

7.12. Compliance with ERISA. Borrower and each of its ERISA Affiliates is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events, could reasonably be expected to result in any liability of the Borrower or any of its ERISA Affiliates in excess of $250,000. The present value of all benefit liabilities under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the last annual valuation date applicable thereto, exceed by more than $250,000 the fair market value of the assets of such Plan, and the present value of all benefit liabilities of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the last annual valuation date applicable thereto, exceed by more than $250,000 the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans.

7.13. Subsidiaries. On and as of the Closing Date, the Borrower has no Subsidiaries other than those Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 7.13.

7.14.

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 16.12 and 13.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Sections 11 or 12 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

14.5. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through its respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 14 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to its respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

14.6. Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all

payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section and Section 16.3 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

In the event that (i) the Administrative Agent, whether in its capacity as the Administrative Agent or a Lender, does not consent (or fails to respond) to a proposed amendment, modification or waiver to any provision of this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document requested by the Borrower and (ii) such proposed amendment, modification or waiver has been approved by the Majority Lenders, the Borrower may, upon (x) delivery of written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, and (y) receipt by the Administrative Agent of the amount calculated in accordance with Section 16.13 hereof in connection with a transfer of the Loans by the Administrative Agent, require that the Administrative Agent promptly resign from such position, such resignation, and the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent to be consummated in accordance with the first paragraph of this Section 14.6.

14.7. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Credit Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

14.8. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization,

arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel) and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 5.1 and 16.3 allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 5.1 and 16.3.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

14.9. Collateral Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) subject to Section 16.12, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Majority Lenders;

(b) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 9.2; and

(c) to take the actions with respect to the Collateral and the Guaranty as are set forth in the Security Documents and the Guaranty, respectively.

The Lenders hereby agree that the Security Documents may be enforced only by the action of the Administrative Agent, in each case, acting upon the instructions of the Majority Lenders, and that no Lender shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce the Security Documents to realize upon the security to be granted hereby, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lender upon the terms of this Credit Agreement and the Security Documents.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Majority Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property.

14.10. Collateral Agent. All of the provisions of this Article 14 applicable to the Administrative Agent shall be equally applicable to the Collateral Agent.

14.11. Delivery of Documents. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall promptly forward to a Person the original or a copy of any document which is delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, for such Person by any other Person.

15. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

15.1. General Conditions. The provisions of this Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (a) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.2, (b) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.4, or (c) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 15.7 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).

Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that:

(a) except in the cases of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loan of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date on which the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(b) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned;

(c) any assignment of a Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(d) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be null and void.

15.3. Register. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Credit Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

15.4. Participations. Any Lender may at any time sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (a) such Lender’s obligations under this Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged, (b) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (c) the Borrower, 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 Credit Agreement.

Subject to the last paragraph of this Section 15.4, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.2, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7 and 5.9 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Sections 15.2.

A Participant that would be a Non-U.S. Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.1.2 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 5.1.3 as though it were a Lender.

15.5. Certain Pledges. A Lender may at any time grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Credit Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation (a) any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to any of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks organized under §4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. §341 and (b) with respect to any Lender that is a Fund, to any lender or any trustee for, or any other representative of, holders of obligations owed or securities issued by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities or any institutional custodian for such Fund or for such lender; provided that no such grant shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such secured party for such Lender as a party hereto.

Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the parties to such assignment, together with each Note subject to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall (a) record the information contained therein in the Register, and (b) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders (other than the assigning Lender). The Borrower, at its own expense, shall, promptly upon its receipt thereof, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, in exchange for each surrendered Note, a new Note to the order of such Assignee in an amount equal to the amount assumed by such Assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Lender has retained some portion of its obligations hereunder, a new Note to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the amount retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Notes, shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the surrendered Notes (after giving effect to any permanent reductions in the applicable Commitments), shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the assigned Notes. The surrendered Notes shall be cancelled and returned to the Borrower.

16. PROVISIONS OF GENERAL APPLICATIONS.

16.1. Setoff. Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders a continuing lien, security interest and right of setoff as security for all liabilities and Obligations to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, whether now existing or hereafter arising, upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of the Administrative Agent or such Lender or any Lender Affiliate and their successors and assigns or in transit to any of them. Regardless of the adequacy of any collateral, if any of the Obligations are due and payable and have not been paid or any Event of Default shall have occurred, any deposits

or other sums credited by or due from any of the Lenders to the Borrower and any securities or other property of the Borrower in the possession of such Lender may be applied to or set off by the Administrative Agent against the payment of Obligations and any and all other liabilities, direct, or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, of the Borrower to such Lender. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE ANY LENDER TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF THE BORROWER ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED. Each of the Lenders agree with each other Lender that (a) if an amount to be set off is to be applied to Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender, other than Indebtedness evidenced by the Revolving Credit Notes held by such Lender, such amount shall be applied ratably to such other Indebtedness and to the Indebtedness evidenced by all such Notes held by such Lender, and (b) if such Lender shall receive from the Borrower, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of the right of setoff, counterclaim, cross action, enforcement of the claim evidenced by the Revolving Credit Notes held by such Lender by proceedings against the Borrower at law or in equity or by proof thereof in bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, receivership or similar proceedings, or otherwise, any amount in excess of its ratable portion of the payments received by all of the Lenders with respect to the Revolving Credit Notes held by all of the Lenders, such Lender will make arrangements with the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders with respect to such excess in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.5.

16.2. Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay (a) the reasonable costs of the Administrative Agent in producing and reproducing this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other agreements and instruments mentioned herein, (b) the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the Administrative Agent’s Special Counsel or any local counsel to the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with the preparation, syndication, administration or interpretation of the Loan Documents and other instruments mentioned herein, each closing hereunder, any amendments, modifications, approvals, consents or waivers hereto or hereunder requested by the Borrower, or the cancellation of any Loan Document upon payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations or pursuant to any terms of such Loan Document for providing for such cancellation, (c) the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates incurred by the Administrative Agent or such affiliate in connection with the preparation, administration or interpretation of the Loan Documents and other instruments mentioned herein, including all commercial finance examination charges, (d) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, which attorneys may be employees of any Lender or the Administrative Agent, and reasonable consulting, accounting, appraisal, commercial finance examination, investment banking and

similar professional fees and charges) incurred by any Lender or the Administrative Agent in connection with (i) the enforcement of or preservation of rights under any of the Loan Documents against the Borrower or the administration thereof after the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default and (ii) any litigation, proceeding or dispute whether arising hereunder or otherwise, in any way related to any Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s relationship with the Borrower in connection herewith and (e) all reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with UCC searches, UCC filings or mortgage recordings relating to the Loan Documents. The covenants contained in this Section 16.2 shall survive payment or satisfaction in full of all other Obligations.

16.3. Indemnification. The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, its affiliates, its sub-agents, each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, actions and suits whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages and related expenses of every nature and character (other than taxes) arising out of this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the performance by the respective parties of their obligations hereunder or thereunder, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby including, without limitation, (a) any actual or proposed use by the Borrower of the proceeds of any of the Loans, (b) the reversal or withdrawal of any provisional credits granted by the Administrative Agent upon the transfer of funds from lock box, bank agency, concentration accounts or otherwise under any cash management arrangements with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or in connection with the provisional honoring of funds transfers, checks or other items, (c) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort, or any other theory, and regardless of whether any Indemnified Party is a party thereof, (d) any civil penalty or fine assessed by OFAC against, and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with defense thereof by, the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of conduct of the Borrower that violates a sanction enforced by OFAC or (e) with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their respective properties and assets, the violation of any Environmental Law, the presence, disposal, escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission, release or threatened release of any Hazardous Substances or any action, suit, proceeding or investigation brought or threatened with respect to any Hazardous Substances (including, but not limited to, claims with respect to wrongful death, personal injury or damage to property), in each case including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding; provided, however, the Borrower shall not be responsible for any liabilities, losses, damages and/or expenses under this Section 16.3 were caused by such Indemnified Party’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. In litigation, or the preparation therefor, the Lenders and the

Administrative Agent and its affiliates shall be entitled to select their own counsel and, in addition to the foregoing indemnity, the Borrower agrees to pay promptly the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. To the extent that the respective interests of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent in such litigation do not, and reasonably could not be expected to, conflict (such determination of existing or potential conflict to be made by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent using their reasonable good faith judgment), the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall make reasonable efforts to use common counsel in connection with such litigation and the preparation therefor. If, and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 16.3 are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment in satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law. The covenants contained in this Section 16.3 shall survive payment or satisfaction in full of all other Obligations.

16.4. Treatment of Certain Confidential Information.

16.4.1. Confidentiality. Each of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and representatives, to use reasonable precautions to keep confidential, in accordance with their customary procedures for handling confidential information of the same nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices, any information supplied to it by, or on behalf of, the Borrower pursuant to this Credit Agreement, provided that nothing herein shall limit the disclosure of any such information (a) after such information shall have become public other than through a violation of this Section 16.4, or becomes available to any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower, (b) to the extent required by statute, rule, regulation or judicial process, (c) to counsel for any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, (d) to bank examiners or any other regulatory authority having jurisdiction over any Lender or the Administrative Agent, or to auditors or accountants, (e) to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Financial Affiliate, (f) in connection with any litigation to which any one or more of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any Financial Affiliate is a party, or in connection with the enforcement of rights or remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (g) to a Lender Affiliate or a Subsidiary or affiliate of the Administrative Agent, (h) to any actual or prospective assignee or participant or any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transactions referenced to credit or other risks or events arising under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as such assignee, participant or counterparty, as the case may be, agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 16.4 or (i) with the prior written consent of the Borrower. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Financial Affiliates agrees not to use any information supplied to it by, or on behalf, of the Borrower pursuant to this Credit Agreement for any purpose or in any manner other that evaluating the performance of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries hereunder and enforcing the

rights, remedies and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

16.4.2. Prior Notification. Unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall, prior to disclosure thereof, notify the Borrower of any request for disclosure of any such information by any governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with an examination of the financial condition of such Lender by such governmental agency) or pursuant to legal process.

16.4.3. Other. In no event shall any Lender or the Administrative Agent be obligated or required to return any materials furnished to it or any Financial Affiliate by the Borrower. The obligations of each Lender under this Section 16.4 shall supersede and replace the obligations of such Lender under any confidentiality letter in respect of this financing signed and delivered by such Lender to the Borrower prior to the date hereof and shall be binding upon any assignee of, or purchaser of any participation in, any interest in any of the Loans from any Lender.

16.12. Consents, Amendments, Waivers, Etc. Any consent or approval required or permitted by this Credit Agreement to be given by the Lenders may be given, and any term of this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other instrument related hereto or mentioned herein may be amended, and the performance or observance by the Borrower of any terms of this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or such other instrument or the continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Borrower and the written consent of the Majority Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, modification or waiver shall:

(a) without the written consent of the Borrower and each Lender directly affected thereby:

(i) reduce, delay or forgive the principal amount of any Loans or reduce the rate of interest on the Loans or the priority thereof or the amount of any Fees (other than interest on the Revolving Credit Notes accruing pursuant to Section 5.10 following the effective date of any waiver by the Majority Lenders of the Event of Default relating thereto);

(ii) increase the amount of such Lender’s Commitment or extend the expiration date of such Lender’s Commitment;

(iii) postpone or extend the Conversion Date, the Maturity Date or any other regularly scheduled dates for payments of principal of, or interest on, the Loans or any Fees or other amounts payable to such Lender (it being understood that (A) a waiver of the application of the default rate of interest pursuant to Section 5.10, and (B) any vote to rescind any acceleration made pursuant to Section 13.1 of amounts owing with respect to the Loans and other Obligations, shall require only the approval of the Majority Lenders); and

(iv) other than any transaction permitted by the terms of this Credit Agreement, release any of the Collateral (excluding, if the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower becomes a debtor under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or other applicable insolvency laws, the release of “cash collateral”, as defined in Section 363(a) of the federal

Bankruptcy Code or any analogous provision of any applicable insolvency law pursuant to a cash collateral stipulation with the debtor approved by the Majority Lenders);

(b) without the written consent of all of the Lenders, amend or waive this Section 16.12 or the definition of “Majority Lenders”;

(c) without the written consent of the Administrative Agent, amend or waive Section 14 or any other provision applicable to the Administrative Agent; or

(d) without the consent of any affected counterparty (other than the Borrower or any of its Affiliates) to any Hedging Agreement, reduce, delay, forgive or change the relative priority of any amounts owing to such Person in accordance with the terms hereof.

No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. No notice to or demand upon the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

16.13. Replacement of Lenders.

(a) In the event (i) any Lender delivers a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section 5.6 or 5.7, (ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 5.4 or 5.5, (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.2.2 or (iv) any Lender does not consent (or fails to respond) to a proposed amendment, modification or waiver to any provision of this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document requested by the Borrower, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 15.2), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such assigned obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 15.2;

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under

Section 5.9) 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);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 5.6 or 5.7 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 5.2.2, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable laws.

In connection with any such replacement, if the replaced Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance reflecting such replacement within five Business Days of the date on which the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance to the replaced Lender, then such replaced Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or 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.

(b) If (i) any Lender shall request compensation under Section 5.6 or 5.7, (ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 5.4 or 5.5, or (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.2.2, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Lender to incur an unreimbursed loss or unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden deemed by it to be significant) (x) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or (y) to assign its rights and delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such filing or assignment would reduce its claims for compensation under Section 5.6 or 5.7, enable it to withdraw its notice pursuant to Section 5.4 or 5.5, or would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.2.2, as the case may be, in the future. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such filing or assignment, delegation and transfer.

16.14. Severability. The provisions of this Credit Agreement are severable and if any one clause or provision hereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction, and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or any other clause or provision of this Credit Agreement in any jurisdiction.

16.15. USA Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2005 (H.R. 3199) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.
