SECTION 2.04. Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon (or, in the case of an ABR Borrowing, 2:00 p.m.), Local Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the applicable Borrower by crediting the amounts so received within two hours of receipt from the Lenders, in like funds, to an account of such Borrower or the Company maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City and designated by such Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request.

(b) Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”), at the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the applicable Borrower, and such Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Borrower may have against any other Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

SECTION 2.05. Interest Elections.

(a) Elections by Borrowers for Borrowings. Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have the Interest Period specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the applicable Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type or to continue such Borrowing as a Borrowing of the same Type and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect the Interest Period therefor, all as provided in this Section, provided, however, that (i) a Borrowing denominated in one Currency may not be continued as, or converted to, a Borrowing in a different Currency, (ii) no Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency may be continued if, after giving effect thereto, the total Credit Exposures (net of any amounts Cash Collateralized with respect thereto) would exceed the total aggregate Commitments or the Dollar Equivalent of the total Credit Exposures (net of any amounts Cash Collateralized with respect thereto) denominated in any Agreed Foreign Currency would exceed the Foreign Currency Sublimit Dollar Amount, and (iii) a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency may not be converted to a Borrowing of a different Type. Such Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans constituting such Borrowing, and the Loans constituting each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b) Notice of Elections. To make an election pursuant to this Section, the applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if such Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by such Borrower and (if such Borrower is not the Company) the Company.

(c) Information in Interest Election Requests. Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) of this paragraph shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether, in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars, the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period therefor after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Notice by Administrative Agent to Lenders. Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) Failure to Elect; Events of Default. If the applicable Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Company, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing, (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall automatically be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period therefor and (iii) no outstanding Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency may have an Interest Period of more than one month’s duration.

SECTION 2.06. Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Scheduled Termination. Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Commitment Termination Date.

Credit Agreement

(b) Voluntary Termination or Reduction. The Company may at any time terminate the Commitments of any Class or from time to time reduce the Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is $10,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000 and (ii) the Company shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments of any Class if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.08, (x) the total Credit Exposure with respect to such Class would exceed the total Commitments of such Class or (y) the Dollar Equivalent of the total Credit Exposures (net of any amounts Cash Collateralized with respect thereto) denominated in any Agreed Foreign Currency would exceed the Foreign Currency Sublimit Dollar Amount. Notwithstanding the termination of the Commitments, this Agreement shall not terminate, and the obligations of the Loan Parties under this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until such time as all principal of or accrued interest on the Loans, all Unreimbursed Amounts and all fees and other amounts payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document have been paid in full and no Letters of Credit are outstanding.

(c) Notice of Voluntary Termination or Reduction. The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments of any Class under paragraph (b) of this Section at least two Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments of any Class delivered by the Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.

SECTION 2.07. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) Repayment. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of the Lenders the outstanding principal amount of the Loans made to such Borrower on the Commitment Termination Date.

(b) Maintenance of Loan Accounts by Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender to such Borrower, including the amounts and Currency of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender by such Borrower from time to time hereunder.

(c) Maintenance of Loan Accounts by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made to a Borrower hereunder, the Class, Type and Currency thereof and each Interest Period therefor, (ii) the amount and Currency of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from any Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount and Currency of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) Effect of Entries. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the records of the Administrative Agent and the records of a Lender, the records of the Administrative Agent shall control absent manifest error.

Credit Agreement

- 31 -

(e) Promissory Notes. Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it to any Borrower be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, such Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) substantially in the form of Exhibit C or any other form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.08. Prepayment of Loans.

(a) Optional Prepayments. Each applicable Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing under any Tranche made to such Borrower in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of paragraph (d) of this Section. For the avoidance of doubt, Borrowings may at the option of the applicable Borrower be prepaid on a non-pro rata basis as between the Tranches.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments in respect of Currency Fluctuations. On each Quarterly Payment Date, if any Loans, Letters of Credit or Unreimbursed Amounts denominated in a Foreign Currency shall then be outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Equivalent of the total Credit Exposures (net of any amounts Cash Collateralized with respect thereto) denominated in any Agreed Foreign Currency as of such determination date (the “Aggregate Dollar Equivalent Amount”). Upon making such determination, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and the Company. If, on the date of such determination, the Aggregate Dollar Equivalent Amount exceeds 110% of the Foreign Currency Sublimit Dollar Amount, the Borrowers shall prepay Loans and/or Unreimbursed Amounts denominated in a Foreign Currency, and/or provide Cash Collateral in respect of Letters of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency in accordance with Section 2.20(g), such allocation to be determined by the Company in its sole discretion, within five Business Days following the Company’s receipt of such notice in an aggregate amount such that immediately after giving effect thereto, the Dollar Equivalent of the total Credit Exposures (net of any amounts Cash Collateralized with respect thereto) denominated in any Agreed Foreign Currency shall not exceed the Foreign Currency Sublimit Dollar Amount. If, on the date of such determination the Dollar Equivalent of the total Credit Exposures (net of any amounts Cash Collateralized with respect thereto) of the Lenders exceeds 105% of the total aggregate Commitments, the Borrowers shall prepay Loans and/or Unreimbursed Amounts (whether denominated in Dollars or Foreign Currencies) and/or provide Cash Collateral in respect of Letters of Credit (whether denominated in Dollars or Foreign Currencies) in accordance with Section 2.20(g), such allocation to be determined by the Company in its sole discretion, within five Business Days following the Company’s receipt of such notice in an aggregate amount such that immediately after giving effect thereto, the Dollar Equivalent of the total Credit Exposure (net of any amounts Cash Collateralized with respect thereto) of the Lenders shall not exceed the total aggregate Commitments.

(c) Cash Collateral. At any time that amounts are Cash Collateralized pursuant to the foregoing paragraph, the Company may reasonably request (but not more than once per calendar week) the Administrative Agent make the determinations contemplated in the foregoing paragraph. Upon making such determination, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and the Company. Any such Cash Collateralized amounts shall be released to the applicable Borrower within two Business Days of such determination so long as immediately after giving effect thereto both (i) the Dollar Equivalent of the total Credit Exposures denominated in a Foreign Currency (net of any amounts Cash Collateralized with respect thereto) shall not exceed the Foreign Currency Sublimit Dollar Amount and (ii) the Dollar Equivalent of the total Credit Exposures (net of any amounts Cash Collateralized with respect thereto) shall not exceed the total aggregate Commitments.

(d) Notices, Etc. The applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of any Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment (which shall be a Business Day); (ii) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in any Agreed Foreign Currency, not later than 11:00 a.m., London time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment; or (iii) in the case of prepayment of any ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment (which shall be a Business Day). Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the Class, the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that, if a notice of optional prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments of any Class as contemplated by Section 2.06, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.06. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the relevant Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial optional prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.10, together with amounts, if any, payable pursuant to Section 2.13.

SECTION 2.09. Fees.

(a) Commitment Fees. The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each Lender under each Tranche a commitment fee, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate on the average daily unused amount of the Commitment of such Lender under such Tranche during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the earlier of the date such Commitment terminates or the Commitment Termination Date. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the earlier of the date on which the applicable Commitment terminates and the Commitment Termination Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date.

(b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each Lender under each Tranche a Letter of Credit fee, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate for Letter of Credit fees in effect from time to time on such Lender’s NAIC Tranche Applicable Percentage or Non- NAIC Tranche Applicable Percentage, as the case may be, of the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under all Letters of Credit (including the Existing Letters of Credit) under the applicable Tranche outstanding from time to time. Letter of Credit fees accrued through and including the last day of each March, June, September and December in each year shall be payable on the immediately succeeding Quarterly Payment Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the earlier of the date on which the NAIC Tranche Commitment or Non-NAIC Tranche Commitment, as the case may be, terminates and the Commitment Termination Date, and any such fees accruing thereafter (so long as any Letter of Credit or L/C Obligation remains outstanding) shall be payable on demand. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while any Event of Default under clause (g) or (h) of Article VII exists and, upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any other Event of Default exists, all such Letter of Credit fees shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate plus 2.00%.

(c) Documentary and Processing Charges.

SECTION 2.10. Interest.

(a) ABR Loans. The Loans constituting each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) Eurocurrency Loans. The Loans constituting each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(c) Default Interest. If any amount of principal of any Loan, interest or any other amount payable by any Loan Party under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Without duplication of amounts payable under the preceding sentence, while any Event of Default pursuant to clause (g) or (h) of Article VII exists and, upon request by the Required Lenders, while any other Event of Default exists, the applicable Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Loans made to such Borrower at a rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(d) Payment of Interest. Accrued interest on each Loan of any Class shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Commitments of such Class; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the Commitment Termination Date), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Borrowing shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e) Computation.

The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Credit Agreement

- 34 -

SECTION 2.11. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of the Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing (the Currency of such Borrowing herein called the “Affected Currency”) of any Class:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Affected Currency for such Interest Period; or

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders under the applicable Tranche that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Affected Currency for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Company and the relevant Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in the Affected Currency shall be ineffective, (ii) if the Affected Currency is Dollars, such Borrowing Request or such Borrowing (unless prepaid) shall be continued as, converted to, or made as, an ABR Borrowing and (iii) if the Affected Currency is a Foreign Currency, any Borrowing Request that requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in the Affected Currency shall be ineffective.

SECTION 2.12. Increased Costs.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, deposit insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate);

(ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender;

(iii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Taxes under FATCA, (B) Indemnified Taxes, (C) Other Connection Taxes on gross or net income, profits, franchise or revenues or taxes in lieu thereof (including value-added or similar Taxes) and (D) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (c) of the definition of Excluded Taxes) on its Loans (including principal amount thereof), Letters of Credit (or participations in Letters of Credit), Commitments or other obligations hereunder, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iv) cause or deem Letters of Credit to be held on the books of any Lender as assets and/or deposits;

Credit Agreement

- 35 -

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lenders or such other Recipient of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), to increase the cost to such Lenders or such other Recipient of its obligation to issue or participate in, or of issuing, maintaining or participating in, any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Company will pay to such Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made or the Letters of Credit issued (or participated in) by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity, as applicable), then from time to time the Company will pay to such Lender in Dollars such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates from Lenders. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts in Dollars necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.13. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice is permitted to be revocable under Section 2.08(d) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to Section 2.16, then, in any such event, the applicable Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, the loss to any Lender attributable to any such event shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that such Lender would pay for a deposit equal to the principal amount of such Loan for the period from the date of such payment, conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the duration of the Interest Period that would have resulted from such borrowing, conversion or continuation) if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period, over (ii) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn on such principal amount for such period if such Lender were to invest such principal

Credit Agreement

- 36 -

amount for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an Affiliate of such Lender) for deposits in the relevant Currency from other banks in the Eurocurrency market at the commencement of such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the applicable Borrower and (if such Borrower is not the Company) the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Such Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.14. Taxes.

(a) Withholding of Taxes; Gross-Up. Each payment by any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without withholding for any Taxes, unless such withholding is required by any Law. If any Withholding Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it is so required to withhold Taxes, then such Withholding Agent may so withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law (which, for purposes of this Section, shall include FATCA). If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, then the amount payable by such Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that, net of such withholding (including such withholding applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section), the applicable Recipient receives the amount it would have received had no such withholding been made. For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed by FATCA, from and after the date hereof, the Company and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Loan Parties. Each Loan Party shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Indemnification by Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient for any Indemnified Taxes that are paid or payable by such Recipient in connection with any Loan Document (including amounts payable under this Section 2.14(d)) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this Section 2.14(d) shall be paid within 10 days after the Recipient delivers to any Loan Party a certificate stating the amount of any Indemnified Taxes so payable by such Recipient and describing the basis for the indemnification claim. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so payable absent manifest error. Such Recipient shall deliver a copy of such certificate to the Administrative Agent. In the case of any Lender making a claim under this Section 2.14(d) on behalf of any of its beneficial owners, an indemnity payment under this Section 2.14(d) shall be due only to the extent that such Lender is able to establish that, with respect to the applicable Indemnified Taxes, such beneficial owners supplied to the applicable Persons such properly completed and executed documentation necessary to claim any applicable exemption from, or reduction of, such Indemnified Taxes.

(e) Indemnification by Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without

Credit Agreement

- 37 -

limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) and the Loan Parties for any Excluded Taxes, in each case attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent or the applicable Loan Party (as applicable) in connection with any Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this Section 2.14(e) shall be paid within 10 days after the Administrative Agent or the applicable Loan Party (as applicable) delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount of Taxes or Excluded Taxes so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent or the applicable Loan Party (as applicable). Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error.

(f) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, any applicable withholding Tax with respect to any payments under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time such Lender becomes a Lender hereunder or at times prescribed by Law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding, unless a Change in Law prevents such Lender from legally being able to complete, execute or deliver such form. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to any withholding (including backup withholding) or information reporting requirements. Upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent, any Lender shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.14(f). If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form or certification if it is legally eligible to do so.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any Loan Party is a U.S. Person, any Lender with respect to such Loan Party shall, if it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to such Loan Party and the Administrative Agent (in such number of originals reasonably requested by such Loan Party and the Administrative Agent), on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party hereto, duly completed and executed originals of whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) in the case of a Lender that is a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;

(B) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (1) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty, (2) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty and (3) with respect to FATCA, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (as applicable) establishing an exemption from withholding tax;

(D) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code both (1) IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (as applicable) (which shall also establish an exemption from withholding tax under FATCA) and (2) a certificate substantially in the applicable form attached as part of Exhibit D (a “U.S. Tax Certificate”) to the effect that such Lender is not (a) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (b) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Company within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code (c) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (d) conducting a trade or business in the United States with which the relevant interest payments are effectively connected;

(E) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is not the beneficial owner of payments made under this Agreement (including a partnership or a participating Lender) (1) an IRS Form W-8IMY (which shall also establish an exemption from withholding tax under FATCA) on behalf of itself and (2) the relevant forms prescribed in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (F) of this paragraph (f)(ii) that would be required of each such beneficial owner or partner of such partnership if such beneficial owner or partner were a Lender; provided, however, that if such Lender is a partnership and one or more of its partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Certificate on behalf of such partners; or

(F) any other form prescribed by Law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax together with such supplementary documentation necessary to enable the applicable Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to determine the amount of Tax (if any) required by Law to be withheld.

(iii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Agent, at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Lender or the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that it has received a refund, in cash or applied as an offset against other cash tax liability, of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section), such indemnified party shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid to such indemnifying party pursuant to the previous sentence (plus any interest imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14(g), in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.14(g) to the extent such payment would place such indemnified party in a less favorable position (on a net after-Tax basis) than such indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been

Credit Agreement

- 39 -

deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 2.14(g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

SECTION 2.15. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

(a) Payments by Borrowers. Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or Unreimbursed Amounts, or under Section 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m. (or, in the case of Section 2.20(c), 2:00 p.m.), New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder (including commitment fees, payments required under Section 2.07 relating to any Loan denominated in Dollars, and payments required under Section 2.08 relating to any Loan denominated in Dollars, but not including principal of, and interest on, any Loan denominated in any Foreign Currency or payments relating to any such Loan required under Section 2.08, which are payable in such Foreign Currency) (except to the extent otherwise provided therein) shall be made in Dollars. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Borrower shall fail to pay any principal of any Loan when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise), the unpaid portion of such Loan shall, if such Loan is not denominated in Dollars, automatically be redenominated in Dollars on the due date thereof (or, if such due date is a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor, on the last day of such Interest Period) in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent thereof on the date of such redenomination and such principal shall be payable on demand; and if the Borrower shall fail to pay any interest on any Loan that is not denominated in Dollars, such interest shall automatically be redenominated in Dollars on the due date therefor (or, if such due date is a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor, on the last day of such Interest Period) in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent thereof on the date of such redenomination and such interest shall be payable on demand.

(b) Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, Unreimbursed Amounts, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, to pay principal and Unreimbursed Amounts then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and Unreimbursed Amounts then due to such parties.

(c) Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans of any Class or any Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans of such Class and accrued interest thereon or Unreimbursed Amounts and accrued interest thereon then due than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans or L/C Obligations, as applicable, of other Lenders to the extent necessary so

Credit Agreement

- 40 -

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 of the applicable Class and their respective Unreimbursed Amounts; 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 paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Loan Party pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or interests in Letters of Credit to any assignee or participant, other than to the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Loan Party 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 such Loan Party rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

(d) Presumptions of Payment. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) from the applicable Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for account of the Lenders hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such 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 applicable 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 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 Federal Funds Effective Rate.

(e) Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(b), 2.15(d), 2.20(c) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under such Sections, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

SECTION 2.16. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if any Loan Party is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.14, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, (ii) any Loan Party is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any

Credit Agreement

- 41 -

Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14 or (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or (in the case of any NAIC Tranche Lender) an Affected Lender or a Non-NAIC Approved Bank, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse, all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (or, with respect to any such assignment as a result of such Lender becoming an Affected Lender or a Non-NAIC Approved Bank, all its interests, rights and obligations under the NAIC Tranche) to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (A) such assignment shall be effected in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04 (including, in the case of any assignment of interests, rights and obligations under the NAIC Tranche, that such assignee shall be a NAIC Approved Bank or any other Person which shall have in effect a Confirming Bank Agreement or Limited Fronting Lender Agreement, in each case, with a Person or Lender, as applicable, which is a NAIC Approved Bank) and such assignee (if not a Lender) shall have been approved by the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not unreasonably be withheld), (B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and Unreimbursed Amounts owing to it, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal, Unreimbursed Amounts and accrued interest and fees) or the Company (in the case of all other amounts), (C) with respect to an assignment as a result of clause (iii) above, the assignment fee shall be paid to the Administrative Agent by the Company and (D) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply (including, in the case of clause (iii) above with respect to any Non-NAIC Approved Bank, if, prior thereto, such Lender complies with Section 2.22(a)).

SECTION 2.17. Increase in Commitments. The Company may, at any time after the Closing Date by notice to the Administrative Agent, propose an increase in the total NAIC Tranche Commitments or Non-NAIC Tranche Commitments hereunder (each such proposed increase being a “Commitment Increase”) either by having a Lender increase its Commitment of the applicable Class then in effect (each an “Increasing Lender”) or by having a Person which is not then a Lender become a party hereto as a Lender with a new Commitment of the applicable Class hereunder (each an “Assuming Lender”), in each case, with the approval of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld); provided that each Assuming Lender with a NAIC Tranche Commitment shall be a NAIC Approved Bank or any other Person which shall have in effect a Confirming Bank Agreement or Limited Fronting Lender Agreement, in each case, with a Person or Lender, as applicable, which is a NAIC Approved Bank. Such notice shall specify (i) the name of each Increasing Lender and/or Assuming Lender, as applicable, (ii) the Class of the Commitments which is being increased, (iii) the amount of the Commitment Increase and the portion thereof being committed to by each such Increasing Lender or Assuming Lender, (iv) the date on which such Commitment Increase is to be effective (a “Commitment Increase Date”) (which shall be a Business Day at least five Business Days after delivery of such notice and 30 days prior to the Commitment Termination Date) and (v) the Company’s election whether to increase the Foreign Currency Sublimit Dollar Amount as provided below.

Each Commitment Increase shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(i) unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees, the Commitment of any Assuming Lender as part of any Commitment Increase shall be in a minimum amount of at least $25,000,000;

Credit Agreement

- 42 -

(ii) unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees, each Commitment Increase shall be in an amount of at least $25,000,000;

(iii) immediately after giving effect to any Commitment Increase, the total Commitments hereunder shall not exceed $5,000,000,000;

(iv) no Default has occurred and is continuing on the relevant Commitment Increase Date or shall result from any Commitment Increase; and

(v) the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of such representations and warranties qualified as to materiality, in all respects) on and as of the relevant Commitment Increase Date as if made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date).

In connection with any Commitment Increase, the Company may, at its option, elect to ratably increase the Foreign Currency Sublimit Dollar Amount in proportion to the amount of such Commitment Increase (each such proposed increase being a “Foreign Currency Sublimit Increase”).

Each Commitment Increase (and the increase of the applicable Commitment of each Increasing Lender and/or the new Commitment of each Assuming Lender, as applicable, resulting therefrom), and if elected by the Company, the corresponding Foreign Currency Sublimit Increase, shall become effective as of the relevant Commitment Increase Date upon receipt by the Administrative Agent, on or prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Commitment Increase Date, of (a) a certificate of a Responsible Officer stating that the conditions with respect to such Commitment Increase under this Section have been satisfied and (b) an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and the Administrative Agent, pursuant to which, effective as of such Commitment Increase Date, each such Increasing Lender and/or such Assuming Lender, as applicable, shall provide its Commitment (or an increase of its applicable Commitment, as applicable), duly executed by each such Lender and the Borrowers and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent. Upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a fully executed agreement from each such Increasing Lender and/or Assuming Lender, together with such certificate of such Responsible Officer, the Administrative Agent shall record the information contained in such agreement in the Register and give prompt notice of the relevant Commitment Increase and if elected by the Company, the corresponding Foreign Currency Sublimit Increase, to the Company and the Lenders (including, if applicable, each Assuming Lender). On each Commitment Increase Date, if there are Loans of the applicable Class then outstanding, each applicable Borrower shall simultaneously (i) prepay in full the outstanding Loans of such Class made to such Borrower immediately prior to giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase in accordance with Section 2.08 and (ii) at such Borrower’s option in accordance with this Agreement, such Borrower may request to borrow new Loans of such Class from all the relevant Lenders (including, if applicable, any Assuming Lender) such that, after giving effect thereto, the Loans of such Class are held ratably by the relevant Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class (after giving effect to such Commitment Increase).

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Lender shall have any obligation to agree to increase any of its Commitments hereunder and any election to do so shall be in the sole discretion of such Lender.

SECTION 2.18. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

Credit Agreement

- 43 -

(a) such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.09(a) for any period during which it is a Defaulting Lender (and the Company shall not be required to pay any such fee that would otherwise have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender);

(b) the Commitments and Credit Exposures of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); except that (i) the Commitments of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (ii) any waiver, amendment or other modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender; and

(c) with respect to any Several Letter of Credit and/or the L/C Obligations under the applicable Tranche of such Defaulting Lender with respect thereto,

(i) such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Letter of Credit fee pursuant to Section 2.09(b) for any period during which it is a Defaulting Lender (and (except as provided in clause (c)(iii) below) the Company shall not be required to pay any such fee that would otherwise have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender);

(ii) subject to the condition that no Default has occurred and is continuing, with respect to any Several Letter of Credit outstanding at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender (other than any Several Letter of Credit with respect to which another Lender has agreed to act as the Limited Fronting Lender for such Defaulting Lender), with the consent of the beneficiary thereunder to the extent required by the terms thereof or under applicable Law, (i) all or any portion of the L/C Obligations held by such Defaulting Lender under the applicable Tranche shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective NAIC Tranche Applicable Percentages or Non-NAIC Tranche Applicable Percentages, as the case may be, but only to the extent that (A) the sum of the aggregate NAIC Tranche Credit Exposure or Non-NAIC Tranche Credit Exposure, as the case may be, of Non-Defaulting Lenders plus the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations held by such Defaulting Lender under such Tranche shall not exceed the total NAIC Tranche Commitments or Non-NAIC Tranche Commitments, as the case may be, of the Non-Defaulting Lenders (except as provided in Section 2.20(k) for Limited Fronting Lenders) and (B) the aggregate NAIC Tranche Credit Exposure or Non-NAIC Tranche Credit Exposure, as the case may be, of each Non-Defaulting Lender under such Tranche shall not exceed the respective NAIC Tranche Commitment or Non-NAIC Tranche Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender (except as provided in Section 2.20(k) if such Non-Defaulting Lender is a Limited Fronting Lender) and (ii) each such Several Letter of Credit shall be amended to specify the Non-Defaulting Lenders that are parties to such Several Letter of Credit, after giving effect to such event, and such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ respective NAIC Tranche Applicable Percentages or Non-NAIC Tranche Applicable Percentages with respect thereto as of the effective date of such amendment (and, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, such Defaulting Lender shall have no obligation under each such Several Letter of Credit to the extent such L/C Obligations in respect thereof are so allocated);

(iii) if the L/C Obligations held by the Non-Defaulting Lenders under the applicable Tranche are reallocated with respect to any Several Letter of Credit pursuant to clause (c)(ii) above, then the Letter of Credit fees payable to the Lenders with respect to such Several Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.09(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ respective NAIC Tranche Applicable Percentages or Non-NAIC Tranche Applicable Percentages; and

Credit Agreement

- 44 -

(iv) so long as such Lender remains a Defaulting Lender, the L/C Obligations of the Lenders under such Tranche in respect of any Several Letter of Credit requested to be issued hereunder shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with clause (c)(ii) above (and, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, such Defaulting Lender shall have no obligation under each such Several Letter of Credit to the extent such L/C Obligations in respect thereof are so allocated).

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the applicable Several L/C Agent and the Company each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then on such date, (A) to the extent the L/C Obligations held by the Non-Defaulting Lenders were theretofore reallocated with respect to any Several Letter of Credit pursuant to clause (c)(ii) or (iv) above, all adjustments shall be made to such Several Letters of Credit consistent with Section 2.20(b)(iv) (including amendments to each such Several Letter of Credit and/or, if applicable, purchases at par by such Lender of the Unreimbursed Amounts then outstanding (if any) of the other Lenders thereunder) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such L/C Obligations under the applicable Tranche in accordance with its respective NAIC Tranche Applicable Percentage or Non-NAIC Tranche Applicable Percentage; (B) if the L/C Obligations held by the Non-Defaulting Lenders under such Tranche were not theretofore reallocated with respect to such Several Letter of Credit pursuant to clause (c)(ii) above, but instead the face amount of any such Several Letter of Credit was increased or a new Several Letter of Credit was issued hereunder in favor of the beneficiary of such Several Letter of Credit in order to provide such beneficiary with an aggregate undrawn face amount of Letters of Credit from the Non-Defaulting Lenders in the amount required by such beneficiary, the amount of such Several Letter of Credit or new Several Letter of Credit shall be amended to decrease the amount thereof, or the Company shall arrange for such new Letter of Credit to be surrendered by such beneficiary to such Several L/C Agent, in order to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s respective NAIC Tranche Commitment or Non-NAIC Tranche Commitment; and (C) such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage with respect to each applicable Tranche, whereupon such Lender shall no longer be a Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 2.19. Designation of Subsidiary Borrowers.

(a) Designation of Subsidiary Borrowers. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section, the Company may, at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date upon not less than 10 Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period which is acceptable to the Administrative Agent), designate a wholly-owned, direct or indirect Domestic Subsidiary of the Company to become a party to this Agreement as a Subsidiary Borrower; provided that each such designation shall be subject to the prior approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). Upon receipt of such notice under this Section, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. Upon such approval and the satisfaction of the conditions specified in paragraph (b) of this Section, such Subsidiary shall become a party to this Agreement as a Subsidiary Borrower hereunder and shall be entitled to borrow Loans on and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the effectiveness of such designation. Following the giving of any notice pursuant to this Section, if the designation of such Subsidiary Borrower obligates the Administrative Agent or any Lender to comply with “know your customer” or similar identification procedures in circumstances where the necessary information is not already available to it, the Company shall, promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any

Credit Agreement

- 45 -

Lender, supply such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in order for the Administrative Agent or such Lender to carry out and be satisfied it has complied with the results of all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable Laws and regulations.

(b) Conditions Precedent to Designation. The designation by the Company of any Subsidiary as a Subsidiary Borrower hereunder shall not become effective until the date on which the Administrative Agent shall have received each of the following documents (each of which shall be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in form and substance): (i) a Subsidiary Borrower Designation, duly completed and executed by the Company and such Subsidiary, delivered to the Administrative Agent at least 5 Business Days before the date on which such Subsidiary is proposed to become a Subsidiary Borrower; (ii) a favorable written opinion (addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and appropriately dated) of external or internal counsel to such Subsidiary satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (and the Company and such Subsidiary Borrower hereby, and by delivery of such Subsidiary Borrower Designation, instruct such counsel to deliver such opinion to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders), as to such matters as are consistent with the scope of the opinion of counsel to the Company delivered pursuant to Section 4.01(e) and/or such other matters as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request; and (iii) such documents and certificates as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection therewith (including certified copies of the Organization Documents of such Subsidiary and of resolutions of its board of directors or similar governing body authorizing such Subsidiary becoming a Borrower hereunder, and of all documents evidencing all other necessary corporate or other action required with respect to such Subsidiary Borrower becoming party to this Agreement).

(c) Termination of Subsidiary Borrower. So long as there shall be no Loans outstanding to a Subsidiary Borrower or other amounts owing hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by such Subsidiary Borrower (or any pending Borrowing Request by such Subsidiary Borrower), the Company may elect to terminate such Subsidiary Borrower as a Borrower hereunder by delivering to the Administrative Agent a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 or any other form approved by the Administrative Agent (each a “Subsidiary Borrower Termination Notice”), duly completed and executed. Any Subsidiary Borrower Termination Notice furnished hereunder shall be effective upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly so notify the Lenders), whereupon all commitments of the Lenders to make Loans to such Subsidiary Borrower and the rights of such Subsidiary Borrower to borrow hereunder shall terminate and such Subsidiary Borrower shall immediately cease to be a Borrower hereunder and a party hereto; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the delivery of a Subsidiary Borrower Termination Notice with respect to any Subsidiary Borrower shall not terminate or discharge (i) any obligation of such Subsidiary Borrower that remains unpaid at such time or (ii) the obligations of the Company under Article X with respect to any such unpaid obligations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon the occurrence of any event described in clause (g) or (h) of Article VII with respect to any Subsidiary Borrower, or if at any time any Subsidiary Borrower shall cease to be a wholly-owned, direct or indirect Domestic Subsidiary of the Company, (i) all commitments of the Lenders to make Loans to such Subsidiary Borrower and the rights of such Subsidiary Borrower to borrow hereunder shall automatically terminate and such Subsidiary Borrower shall immediately cease to be a Subsidiary Borrower hereunder and a party hereto and (ii) the principal amount then outstanding of, and the accrued interest on, the Loans (if any) made to such Subsidiary Borrower and all other amounts payable by such Subsidiary Borrower hereunder (including any amounts payable under Section 2.13) and under the other Loan Documents shall automatically become immediately due and payable, in each case, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by such Subsidiary Borrower and the Company.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period, each Non-NAIC Tranche Lender agrees, through the applicable Several L/C Agent, (1) to issue severally, and for itself alone, Several Letters of Credit at the request of and for the account of the Company in such Non-NAIC Tranche Lender’s Non-NAIC Tranche Applicable Percentage of the aggregate stated amounts of such Several Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or in any Agreed Foreign Currency, and to amend or extend Several Letters of Credit previously issued by it, and (2) to honor severally, and for itself alone, drawings under the Several Letters of Credit in an amount equal to its Non-NAIC Tranche Applicable Percentage of such drawings; provided that after giving effect to any issuance, amendment or extension, (x) the aggregate Non-NAIC Tranche Credit Exposure shall not exceed the total Non-NAIC Tranche Commitments, (y) the aggregate Non-NAIC Tranche Credit Exposure owing to such Non-NAIC Tranche Lender (whether as an issuer or as a participant) shall not exceed such Non-NAIC Tranche Lender’s Non-NAIC Tranche Commitment and (z) the Dollar Equivalent of the total aggregate Credit Exposure (net of any amounts Cash Collateralized with respect thereto) denominated in any Agreed Foreign Currency shall not exceed the Foreign Currency Sublimit Dollar Amount.

Each request by the Company for the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Company that such issuance, amendment or extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Company may, during the Availability Period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

(iv) Subject to Section 2.20(b)(v), neither the applicable Several L/C Agent nor any Lender, as applicable, shall amend or extend any Letter of Credit if it would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.

(v) Neither the applicable Several L/C Agent nor any Lender, as applicable, shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such Several L/C Agent or such Lender, as applicable, would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(vi) Each NAIC Tranche Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent (which shall in turn notify the applicable Several L/C Agent and the Company) upon becoming an Affected Lender with respect to a particular Several Letter of Credit. In the absence of receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice by a NAIC Tranche Lender that it has become an Affected Lender with respect to a particular Several Letter of Credit, it shall be conclusively presumed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Several L/C Agent that such NAIC Tranche Lender is not an Affected Lender with respect to such Several Letter of Credit. If such notice is given by an Affected Lender with respect to a particular Several Letter of Credit, such notice shall not be effective as a like notice with respect to any other Several Letter of Credit.

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.

Unless such Several L/C Agent has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Company, at least two Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that such Letter of Credit is not permitted to be issued hereunder or that one or more applicable conditions contained in Sections 4.01 and 4.02 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such Several L/C Agent shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Company or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such Several L/C Agent’s, as applicable, usual and customary business practices.

(iii) The applicable Several L/C Agent is hereby authorized to execute and deliver each Several Letter of Credit under the applicable Tranche and each amendment to a Several Letter of Credit on behalf of each Lender under such Tranche and to otherwise act on behalf of each applicable Lender with respect to such Several Letter of Credit, in each case, in accordance with the terms hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, as of the Closing Date, the Several L/C Agent with respect to each Existing Letter of Credit is hereby authorized to amend such Letter of Credit in a manner such that such Letter of Credit as amended shall be in accordance with the terms hereof (including to reflect the NAIC Tranche Applicable Percentage or Non-NAIC Tranche Applicable Percentage, as applicable, of each Lender, as its “Percentage Obligation” (or equivalent term) thereunder). The applicable Several L/C Agent shall use the NAIC Tranche Applicable Percentage or Non-NAIC Tranche Applicable Percentage, as applicable, of each Lender as its “Percentage Obligation” (or equivalent term) under each Several Letter of Credit; provided that each Limited Fronting Lender (if any), in its capacity as such, shall, in addition to its own “Percentage Obligation” as a NAIC Tranche Lender, have a “Percentage Obligation” (or equivalent term) equal to the NAIC Tranche Applicable Percentage (or the portion thereof, if applicable) of each Participating L/C Issuer for which such Limited Fronting Lender acts in such capacity under such Several Letter of Credit. Subject to the provisos to the first and second sentence of Section 2.20(a)(i), the applicable Several L/C Agent is hereby authorized to amend a Several Letter of Credit to change the “Percentage Obligation” (or equivalent term) of a Lender or add or delete a Lender liable thereunder in connection with an assignment or any other addition or replacement of a Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including in connection with changes resulting from the reallocation of L/C Obligations pursuant to Section 2.18 or Section 2.21). In the event that a NAIC Tranche Lender becomes a Participating L/C Issuer or ceases to be a Participating L/C Issuer, the applicable Several L/C Agent is hereby authorized to amend each Several Letter of Credit to reflect such change in status and to change the “Percentage Obligation” (or equivalent term) of the applicable Limited Fronting Lender, as the case may be. Each Lender (including for avoidance of doubt each Limited Fronting Lender) hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints each Several L/C Agent its true and lawful attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of such Lender for the limited purpose of issuing, executing and delivering, as the case may be, each Several Letter of Credit and each amendment to a Several Letter of Credit and for carrying out the purposes of this Agreement with respect to Several Letters of Credit, in each case, in accordance with the terms hereof.

Credit Agreement

(iv) It is the intention and agreement of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Several L/C Agents that (A) except as otherwise expressly set forth herein (including with respect to Limited Fronting Lenders, if any), the rights and obligations of the (i) NAIC Tranche Lenders in respect of outstanding Several Letters of Credit under the NAIC Tranche shall be determined in accordance with the NAIC Tranche Applicable Percentages of the NAIC Tranche Lenders from time to time in effect and (ii) Non-NAIC Tranche Lenders in respect of outstanding Several Letters of Credit under the Non-NAIC Tranche shall be determined in accordance with the Non-NAIC Tranche Applicable Percentages of the Non-NAIC Tranche Lenders from time to time in effect and (B) subject to the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.20(a)(i), outstanding Several Letters of Credit shall be promptly amended to reflect changes in the NAIC Tranche Applicable Percentages or the Non-NAIC Tranche Applicable Percentages, as applicable, of the Lenders under this Agreement arising from time to time in connection with any event or circumstance contemplated hereby, including a NAIC Tranche Lender acting as a Limited Fronting Lender for any Affected Lender or Non-NAIC Approved Bank pursuant to Section 2.20(k), a replacement of a NAIC Tranche Lender pursuant to Section 2.16(b), an increase of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.17, a reallocation of L/C Obligations held by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, a reallocation of L/C Obligations pursuant to Section 2.21, an assignment pursuant to Section 9.04 or otherwise. However, it is acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Several L/C Agents that amendments of outstanding Several Letters of Credit may not be immediately effected and may be subject to the consent of the beneficiaries of such Several Letters of Credit. Accordingly, whether or not Several Letters of Credit are amended as contemplated hereby (including Existing Letters of Credit), the Lenders agree that they shall purchase and sell participations (as provided in Section 2.20(l)) or otherwise make or effect such payments among themselves (but through the Administrative Agent) so that payments by the Lenders of drawings under Several Letters of Credit under any Tranche and payments by the Company of Unreimbursed Amounts and interest thereon are, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein (including with respect to Limited Fronting Lenders and Defaulting Lenders), in each case shared by the Lenders in accordance with the respective NAIC Tranche Applicable Percentages or Non-NAIC Tranche Applicable Percentages, as applicable, of the Lenders under such Tranche from time to time in effect.

(v) If the Company so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the applicable Several L/C Agent (on behalf of the Lenders under the applicable Tranche) will issue or amend a Letter of Credit (including any Existing Letter of Credit) to provide for automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such Several L/C Agent to prevent any such extension by giving notice to the beneficiary thereof prior to the thirtieth (30^th) day (or such earlier day as set forth in the applicable Letter of Credit) preceding the then current expiration date of such Letter of Credit (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”). The Company shall not be required to make a specific request to such Several L/C Agent for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders under the applicable Tranche shall be deemed to have authorized the applicable Several L/C Agent to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit to an expiry date not later than twelve months from the then existing expiry date; provided, however, that such Several L/C Agent shall not permit any such extension (and shall give a notice of non-extension to the relevant beneficiary of such Letter of Credit prior to the Non-Extension Notice Date pursuant to the terms thereof) if (A) such Several L/C Agent (on behalf of the Lenders under such Tranche) has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.20(a) or otherwise), and such Several L/C Agent has provided notice thereof to the Company no later than the Non-Extension Notice Date, (B) it has received notice on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent, any Lender under such Tranche or the Company that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied (or, in the case of the Company, that the Company does not want such Letter of Credit to be extended), and in each such case directing such

Credit Agreement

- 52 -

Several L/C Agent not to permit such extension, or (C) such extension would result in the extension of the expiry date of such Letter of Credit to a date after the first anniversary of the Commitment Termination Date.

(vi) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable Several L/C Agent will also deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(c) Drawings and Reimbursements. (i) Upon review of any notice of drawing from the beneficiary of any Several Letter of Credit, and reasonable determination that documents presented comply with letter of credit terms and conditions, the applicable Several L/C Agent shall notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders under the applicable Tranche, thereof, which notices shall be given promptly and in any event at least one Business Day, or for Several Letters of Credit denominated in Yen at least two Business Days, before the date (the “Honor Date”) on which the applicable Several L/C Agent anticipates that payment of such drawing will be made. Not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Honor Date and without further notice or demand by such Several L/C Agent or the Administrative Agent, (A) each Lender under such Tranche (including each Limited Fronting Lender, but excluding each Participating L/C Issuer) shall make funds available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its NAIC Tranche Applicable Percentage or Non-NAIC Tranche Applicable Percentage, as the case may be, (and, in the case of each Limited Fronting Lender, the NAIC Tranche Applicable Percentage (or the portion thereof for which it has agreed to be a Limited Fronting Lender) of each applicable Participating L/C Issuer) of the drawing under such Several Letter of Credit (and the Administrative Agent shall make such funds available to the applicable Several L/C Agent) and (B) in the event that a Limited Fronting Lender pays the NAIC Tranche Applicable Percentage of a Participating L/C Issuer, such Participating L/C Issuer shall pay such NAIC Tranche Applicable Percentage (or the relevant portion thereof, if applicable) to such Limited Fronting Lender in purchase of its participation in such payment. Not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Honor Date, so long as the Company has received notice of payment under such Several Letter of Credit from such Several L/C Agent or the Administrative Agent by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Honor Date and, otherwise, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the following Business Day, the Company shall pay to the Lenders under the applicable Tranche through the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the amount of such drawing (such amount, the “Unreimbursed Amount”) in the applicable Currency without further demand; provided that, in the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars, at any time during the Availability Period, the Company may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with an ABR Borrowing under the respective Tranche in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Company’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Borrowing. Any notice given by such Several L/C Agent or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.20(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Agreed Foreign Currency, the Company shall reimburse the applicable Lenders in such Agreed Foreign Currency unless (A) such Lender (at its option) shall have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars or (B) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the Company shall have notified such Lender promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the Company will reimburse such Lender in Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Agreed Foreign Currency, the applicable Lender shall notify the Company of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof.

Credit Agreement

- 53 -

(ii) Notwithstanding the date on which an Unreimbursed Amount is payable by the Company pursuant to Section 2.20(c)(i), if an Unreimbursed Amount is not paid by the Company by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Honor Date, each Unreimbursed Amount shall bear interest from the applicable Honor Date to the date that such Unreimbursed Amount is paid by the Company at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.

(iii) Until a Lender funds its obligation pursuant to this Section 2.20(c), interest in respect of such Lender’s NAIC Tranche Applicable Percentage or Non-NAIC Tranche Applicable Percentage, as applicable, of any Unreimbursed Amount shall be solely for the account of the applicable Several L/C Agent (if such Several L/C Agent has funded on behalf of such Lender, as provided in Section 2.20(c)(v)), as applicable.

(iv) Each Lender’s (including for avoidance of doubt each Limited Fronting Lender’s and each Participating L/C Issuer’s) obligation to fund its obligations pursuant to this Section 2.20(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the applicable Several L/C Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Company, any Subsidiary or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default; or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(v) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.20(c) by the time specified in Section 2.20(c)(i), the applicable Several L/C Agent (to the extent that such Several L/C Agent shall have funded such amount on behalf of such Lender, it being understood and agreed that neither such Several L/C Agent nor the Administrative Agent shall have any obligation or liability to fund any amount under any Several Letter of Credit other than in its capacity as a Lender) shall, through the Administrative Agent, be entitled to recover from such Lender, on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the applicable Several L/C Agent with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (v) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(vi) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to honor drawings under, and/or (if applicable) to fund participations in, Letters of Credit are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender under any Tranche to fund any such drawing or participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender under such Tranche of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and except for Limited Fronting Lenders with respect to Letters of Credit they have issued on behalf of Affected Lenders or Non-NAIC Approved Banks, no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to honor a drawing or purchase its participation.

(d) Repayment of Fundings. (i) If after any Lender has funded its obligation under Section 2.20(c) in respect of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent receives any payment (including any payment of interest) in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount (whether directly from the Company or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), then the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its NAIC Tranche Applicable Percentage or Non-NAIC Tranche Applicable Percentage, as applicable (or other applicable share as provided herein), thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s funding was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender has not funded its obligation as aforesaid, such Lender’s NAIC Tranche Applicable Percentage or Non-NAIC Tranche Applicable Percentage, as applicable (or other applicable share as provided herein), of such payment shall be paid to the applicable Several L/C Agent (if such Several L/C Agent shall have funded on behalf of such Lender, as provided in Section 2.20(c)(v)).

Credit Agreement

- 54 -

(ii) If any payment made by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.20(d)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 9.08 (including pursuant to any settlement), each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its NAIC Tranche Applicable Percentage or Non-NAIC Tranche Applicable Percentage, as applicable (or other applicable share as provided herein), thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect.

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Company to pay each Unreimbursed Amount shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any other Loan Document;

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that the Company or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any Several L/C Agent, any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv) any payment by the Lenders under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or any payment made by the Lenders under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar Law now or hereafter in effect;

(v) any Several L/C Agent, any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any of their respective branches or Affiliates being the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit;

(vi) any Lender honoring a drawing against any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit up to the amount available under such Letter of Credit even if such draft, demand, certificate or other document claims an amount in excess of the amount available under such Letter of Credit;

(vii) any lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, the Administrative Agent, any Several L/C Agent or any of the Lenders as security for any of such reimbursement obligations shall fail to be perfected;

(xi) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Company or any Subsidiary.

The Company shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto requested by the Company that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Company’s (or, if applicable, any Subsidiary’s) instructions or other irregularity, the Company will notify the applicable Several L/C Agent (with respect to Several Letters of Credit) within five Business Days of receipt of such Letter of Credit or amendment. The Company and each Subsidiary party to any Letter of Credit Application shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the Several L/C Agents or the Lenders, as applicable, unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f) Role of Several L/C Agent. Each Lender and the Company agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable Several L/C Agent shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. Neither the applicable Several L/C Agent, any Related Party thereof nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of such Several L/C Agent shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders under any Tranche, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or wilful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit Document. The Company and each Subsidiary party to a Letter of Credit Application hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Company’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of any Several L/C Agent, any Related Party nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of such Several L/C Agent shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.20(e); provided, however, that, anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company (or, if applicable, any Subsidiary) may have a claim against any Several L/C Agent, and any Several L/C Agent may be liable to the Company or such Subsidiary, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential, exemplary, special, indirect or punitive damages suffered by the Company or such Subsidiary which the Company or such Subsidiary proves were caused primarily by such Several L/C Agent’s wilful misconduct or gross negligence. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, any Several L/C Agent may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and such Several L/C Agent shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

remains outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, or the Company shall be required or permitted to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.08(b), the Company shall promptly or in accordance with Section 2.08(b), as applicable, Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations under such Tranche (in an amount equal to such Outstanding Amount thereof plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon at such time) or in the case of Cash Collateral required or permitted pursuant to Section 2.08(b), the amount determined thereunder.

The Company hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit at the request of any of its Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Company, and that the Company’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

(k) Limited Fronting Lenders. In the event that any NAIC Tranche Lender agrees (in its sole discretion) to act as a Limited Fronting Lender for any Affected Lender or Non-NAIC Approved Bank upon such terms and conditions as such parties may agree (including fees payable by such Affected Lender or Non-NAIC Approved Bank to such Limited Fronting Lender) (such agreement, a “Limited Fronting Lender Agreement”), the following provisions shall apply (in addition to any other provisions hereof relating to Limited Fronting Lenders):

Each NAIC Tranche Lender that agrees to act as a Limited Fronting Lender for any other NAIC Tranche Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Several L/C Agents) of such agreement and of any termination or expiration of such agreement.

In the event that, pursuant to this Section 2.20(k), any other NAIC Tranche Lender agrees to act as a Limited Fronting Lender for any NAIC Tranche Lender that becomes an Affected Lender or a Non-NAIC Approved Bank, such other NAIC Tranche Lender shall receive such compensation therefor as such Affected Lender or Non-NAIC Approved Bank and such other NAIC Tranche Lender may agree. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no NAIC Tranche Lender shall have any obligation to agree to act hereunder as a Limited Fronting Lender for any other NAIC Tranche Lender.

In the event (i) any Participating L/C Issuer purchases a participation in the Letter(s) of Credit of its Limited Fronting Lender pursuant to Section 2.20(k) or (ii) any NAIC Tranche Lender acquires or is deemed to acquire a participation in the Letters of Credit of the other NAIC Tranche Lenders pursuant to Section 2.20(b)(iv), then, without any further action on the part of any party, (A) in the case of clause (i) above, such Limited Fronting Lender grants to such Participating L/C Issuer, and such Participating L/C Issuer hereby acquires from such Limited Fronting Lender, a participation in such Limited Fronting Lender’s NAIC Tranche Applicable Percentage of the relevant Letters of Credit attributable to such Participating L/C Issuer for which such Limited Fronting Lender has agreed to act as a Limited Fronting Lender hereunder and (B) in the case of clause (ii) above, each such other NAIC Tranche Lender hereby grants to such NAIC Tranche Lender, and such NAIC Tranche Lender hereby acquires from such other NAIC Tranche Lenders, a participation in that portion of each such other NAIC Tranche Lender’s NAIC Tranche Applicable Percentage of the relevant Letters of Credit to give effect to the purposes of the last sentence of Section 2.20(b)(iv). Each NAIC Tranche Lender (including each Participating L/C Issuer) purchasing a participation hereunder acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the NAIC Tranche Commitments. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, such NAIC Tranche Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for account of the applicable Limited Fronting Lender or such other NAIC Tranche Lenders, as applicable, an amount equal to the amount of each payment made by such Limited Fronting Lender or other NAIC Tranche Lenders, as applicable, in respect of the portion of such Letter of Credit in which such NAIC Tranche Lender holds a participation, promptly upon the request of such Limited Fronting Lender or any such other NAIC Tranche Lender, as applicable, at any time from the time such payment is made until such payment is reimbursed by the Company or at any time after any reimbursement payment is required to be refunded to the Company for any reason.

Any Converting Lender, at any time after the Closing Date by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Company and with the consent of the Company, may convert all (but not part) of its Non-NAIC Tranche Commitments (including any Loans and Letters of Credit thereunder) to NAIC Tranche Commitments (and New NAIC Tranche Loans in the case of outstanding Loans), provided that such Converting Lender provides satisfactory evidence to both the Administrative Agent and the Company that it is at the time of such conversion a NAIC Approved Bank or shall have in effect a Confirming Bank Agreement or Limited Fronting Lender Agreement, in each case with a Person or Lender that is a NAIC Approved Bank.

(b) Each Foreign Pension Plan is in compliance in all material respects with all requirements of Law applicable thereto and the respective requirements of the governing documents for such plan. With respect to each Foreign Pension Plan, none of the Company, its Affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents has engaged in a transaction that would subject the Company or any Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to a tax or civil penalty that would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Change. With respect to each Foreign Pension Plan, reserves have been established in the financial statements furnished to the Lender in respect of any unfunded liabilities in accordance with applicable Law and prudent business practice or, where required, in accordance with ordinary accounting practices in the jurisdiction in which such Foreign Pension Plan is maintained. The aggregate unfunded liabilities with respect to such Foreign Pension Plans would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. The present value of the aggregate accumulated benefit liabilities of all such Foreign Pension Plans (based on those assumptions used to fund each such Foreign Pension Plan) did not, as of the last annual valuation date applicable thereto, exceed the fair market value of the assets held in trust under all such Foreign Pension Plans by an amount that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change if any such Plan were voluntarily terminated.

None of the reports, financial statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of the Company or any other Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or delivered hereunder or thereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading as of the date made; provided that, with respect to projected or pro forma financial information, the Company represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time furnished (it being understood that such projections and forecasts are subject to uncertainties and contingencies and no assurances can be given that such projections or forecasts will be realized).

No Loan Party is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying Margin Stock, and no Letter of Credit or part of the proceeds of any Loan hereunder will be used to buy or carry any Margin Stock. Following the application of the proceeds of each Borrowing, not more than 25% of the value of the assets of any of the Loan Parties shall consist of Margin Stock.

SECTION 3.14. Certain Representations by Subsidiary Borrowers. Each Subsidiary Borrower severally represents and warrants that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03, 3.04, 3.06, 3.07, 3.08, 3.09, 3.10 and 3.13 with respect to itself and (if applicable) its Subsidiaries are true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of any such representations and warranties qualified as to materiality, in all respects).

ARTICLE VIII

AGENTS

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent and each Several L/C Agent as its agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent and/or such Several L/C Agent, as applicable, to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent or such Several L/C Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

Any Person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not such Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not such Agent hereunder.

No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Agent shall be

Credit Agreement

- 77 -

subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) no Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders and (c) except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, no Agent shall have any duty to disclose, or be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or in the absence of its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Borrowers or a Lender, and no Agent shall 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 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, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein or therein, other than (in the case of the Administrative Agent) to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any 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.

Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as an Agent.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Company; provided that if the Person acting as the Administrative Agent at any time is also acting as a Several L/C Agent, such Person shall also resign as such Several L/C Agent at such time. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Company, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent (which Person shall also be appointed as a successor Several L/C Agent, if applicable). If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required 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 (and, if applicable, successor Several L/C Agent) which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank, in each case with a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, Several L/C Agent) hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative

Credit Agreement

- 78 -

Agent (and, if applicable, Several L/C Agent) and the retiring Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, Several L/C Agent) shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Company to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s (and, if applicable, Several L/C Agent’s) resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, Several L/C Agent).

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender 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 Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any L/C Obligation 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 any 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, all L/C Obligations 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 Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Agents under Sections 2.04, 2.20(c) and 9.03) 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 and each Agent 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 and the Agents, 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 Agents under Sections 2.04, 2.20(c) and 9.03. 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 or any other Agent any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or any other Agent or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or any other Agent in any such proceeding.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Syndication Agent and the Co-Documentation Agents named on the cover page of this Agreement shall not have any duties or liabilities under this Agreement (except in their capacity, if any, as Lenders).

(e) Use of Information.

(A) the Company; provided that no consent of the Company shall be required for an assignment to (I) a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or (II) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; and provided, further, that the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment requiring its consent under this clause (A) unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 15 Business Days after having received written notice thereof; and

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s applicable Commitment, the amount of such Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Company (except if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld);

(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 Agreement with respect to any Tranche, except that this clause (B) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations under different Tranches on a non-pro rata basis;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500;

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Company and its Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable Laws, including Federal and state securities Laws; and

(E) no such assignment shall be made to (I) the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (II) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this subclause (II), (III) a natural person or a corporation, limited liability company, trust or other entity owned, operated or established for the primary benefit of a natural person and/or family members or relatives of such person or (IV) in the case of an assignment of rights and obligations under the NAIC Tranche, any Person which is a Non-NAIC Approved Bank (unless such Non-NAIC Approved Bank shall have in effect a Confirming Bank Agreement or Limited Fronting Lender Agreement, in each case, with a Person or Lender, as applicable, which is a NAIC Approved Bank).

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv) Maintenance of Register by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Loan Parties, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, the principal amount of the Loans owing to and the Letters of Credit issued by, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the

Credit Agreement

- 84 -

“Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Loan Party and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Effectiveness of Assignments. Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(b), 2.15(e), 2.20(c) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) Participations. Any Lender may, without the consent of the Company or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments, the Loans owing to it and its interests in Letters of Credit); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this 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 Company, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. The Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) shall be subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.14(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.14(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender); (B) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.15 and 2.16 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (C) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 or 2.14, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.09 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.15(d) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans, Letters of Credit or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitment, Loan, promissory note, Letter of Credit or other obligations under any Loan Document) except if additional payments under Sections 2.12 and 2.14 are requested with

Credit Agreement

- 85 -

respect to such Participant and except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, promissory note, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or to the extent required to establish an exemption or withholding under FATCA. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(d) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any such pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION 9.05. Survival. All representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the making by the Lenders of any Loans and the issuance, amendment or extension of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Lender and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan, any Unreimbursed Amount or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments and Letters of Credit have not expired or been terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, any assignment of rights by, or replacement of, a Lender, the expiration or termination of the Commitments and the Letters of Credit, the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under the Loan Documents, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of any Loan Document or any investigation made by or on behalf of any Lender.

SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract between and among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.07. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Credit Agreement

- 86 -

SECTION 9.08. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Loan Party is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.09. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and its Affiliates are authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender and its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of such Loan Party hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Company and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

SECTION 9.10. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(b) Submission to Jurisdiction. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by Law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Waiver of Venue. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or

Credit Agreement

- 87 -

hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Service of Process. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

SECTION 9.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 9.12. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.13. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or quasi-regulatory authority (such as the NAIC), (c) to the extent required by any applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement in writing containing provisions substantially the same as those of this paragraph and for the benefit of the Loan Parties, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to any Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (g) with the consent of the Company or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this paragraph or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Company. In the event that the Administrative Agent or any Lender becomes legally compelled to disclose any confidential Information pursuant to clause (c) of this Section, the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall, to the extent permitted by Law, give prompt written notice of that fact to the Company prior to the disclosure, and in the event that the Company shall advise the Administrative Agent or such Lender that it will seek an appropriate remedy to prevent or limit such disclosure, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, shall cooperate reasonably (at the expense of the Company) with the Company in seeking such remedy. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Company relating to the Company, its Subsidiaries or their business, other than any

Credit Agreement

- 88 -

such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company and other than information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry; provided that, in the case of written information received from the Company after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at or prior to the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION (AS DEFINED IN THIS SECTION) FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE COMPANY AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE COMPANY OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE COMPANY AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

SECTION 9.14. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), such Lender may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with said Act.

SECTION 9.15. No Advisory or Fiduciary Relationships. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that: (a) (i) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Joint Lead Arrangers are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Company and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Joint Lead Arrangers, on the other hand, (ii) each Loan Party has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (iii) each Loan Party is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (b) (i) the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Joint Lead Arrangers each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Company or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (ii) none of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Joint Lead Arrangers has any obligation to the Company or any of its Affiliates with

Credit Agreement

- 89 -

respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (c) the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Joint Lead Arrangers and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company and its Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Joint Lead Arrangers has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Company or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, each Loan Party hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Joint Lead Arrangers with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

SECTION 9.16. Effect of Amendment and Restatement. Upon the Closing Date, this Agreement shall amend, and restate as amended, the Existing Credit Agreement, but shall not constitute a novation thereof or in any way impair or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of the parties thereunder (including with respect to Loans and representations and warranties made thereunder) except as such rights or obligations are amended or modified hereby. The Existing Credit Agreement as amended and restated hereby shall be deemed to be a continuing agreement among the parties, and all documents, instruments and agreements delivered pursuant to or in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement not amended and restated in connection with the entry of the parties into this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, each in accordance with its terms, as of the date of delivery or such other date as contemplated by such document, instrument or agreement to the same extent as if the modifications to the Existing Credit Agreement contained herein were set forth in an amendment to the Existing Credit Agreement in a customary form, unless such document, instrument or agreement has otherwise been terminated or has expired in accordance with or pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Existing Credit Agreement or such document, instrument or agreement or as otherwise agreed by the required parties hereto or thereto.

ARTICLE X

GUARANTEE

SECTION 10.01. Guarantee. The Company hereby guarantees to each Lender and the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations of each Subsidiary Borrower strictly in accordance with the terms thereof (such obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Company hereby further agrees that if any Subsidiary Borrower shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Subsidiary Borrower, the Company will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of such Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

SECTION 10.02. Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Company under Section 10.01 are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the obligations of the Subsidiary Borrowers under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, irrespective of any Law of any jurisdiction or any other event affecting any term of any Guaranteed Obligation or any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Article that the obligations of the Company hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all

Credit Agreement

- 90 -

circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Company hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

(i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Company, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

(ii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein shall be done or omitted; or

(iii) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with.

The Company hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 10.03. Reinstatement. The obligations of the Company under this Article shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Subsidiary Borrower in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and the Company agrees that it will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including fees of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar Law.

SECTION 10.04. Subrogation. The Company hereby agrees that, until the payment and satisfaction in full of all Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration and termination of the Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement, it shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 10.01, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against any Subsidiary Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 10.05. Remedies. The Company agrees that, as between the Company and the Lenders, the obligations of any Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Article VII (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Article VII) for purposes of Section 10.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against such Subsidiary Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by such Subsidiary Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Company for purposes of Section 10.01.
