completion percentage of such Qualified Project) of an amount to be approved by the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) as the projected Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries attributable to such Qualified Project for the first 12-month period following the scheduled Commercial Operation Date of such Qualified Project (such amount to be determined based on customer contracts relating to such Qualified Project, the creditworthiness of the other parties to such contracts, and projected revenues from such contracts, capital costs and expenses, scheduled Commercial Operation Date, commodity price assumptions and other reasonable factors deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent), which may, at the Borrower’s option, be added to actual Consolidated EBITDA for the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries for the fiscal quarter in which construction of such Qualified Project commences and for each fiscal quarter thereafter until the Commercial Operation Date of such Qualified Project (including the fiscal quarter in which such Commercial Operation Date occurs, but net of any actual Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries attributable to such Qualified Project following such Commercial Operation Date); provided that if the actual Commercial Operation Date does not occur by the scheduled Commercial Operation Date, then the foregoing amount shall be reduced, for quarters ending after the scheduled Commercial Operation Date to (but excluding) the first full quarter after its actual Commercial Operation Date, by the following percentage amounts depending on the period of delay (based on the period of actual delay or then-estimated delay, whichever is longer): (i) 90 days or less, 0%, (ii) longer than 90 days, but not more than 180 days, 25%, (iii) longer than 180 days but not more than 270 days, 50%, (iv) longer than 270 days but not more than 365 days, 75% and (v) longer than 365 days, 100%; and

(b) thereafter, actual Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries attributable to such Qualified Project for each full fiscal quarter after the Commercial Operation Date, plus the amount approved by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (a) above as the projected Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries attributable to such Qualified Project for the fiscal quarters constituting the balance of the four full fiscal quarter period following such Commercial Operation Date; provided that in the event the actual Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries attributable to such Qualified Project for any full fiscal quarter after the Commercial Operation Date shall materially differ from the projected Consolidated EBITDA approved by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (a) above for such fiscal quarter, the projected Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries attributable to such Qualified Project for any remaining fiscal quarters included in the foregoing calculation shall be redetermined in the same manner as set forth in clause (a) above, such amount to be approved by the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), which may, at the Borrower’s option, be added to actual Consolidated EBITDA for the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries for such fiscal quarters.

Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(A) no such additions shall be allowed with respect to any Qualified Project unless:

(2) prior to the date such certificate is required to be delivered, the Administrative Agent shall have approved (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) such projections and shall have received such other information and documentation as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; and

(B) the aggregate amount of all Qualified Project EBITDA Adjustments during any period shall be limited to 20% of the total actual Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries for such period (which total actual Consolidated EBITDA shall be determined without including any Qualified Project EBITDA Adjustments).

Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may use the Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Revolving Credit Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.

(b) The Revolving Credit Loans may from time to time be (i) Eurodollar Loans, (ii) Reference Rate Loans or (iii) a combination thereof, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.3 or Section 2.6, provided that, no Revolving Credit Loan shall be made as a Eurodollar Loan after the day that is one month prior to the last occurring Commitment Termination Date. Eurodollar Loans shall be made by each Lender at its Eurodollar Office and Reference Rate Loans shall be made by each Lender at its Domestic Office.

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans made by such Lender on such Lender’s Commitment Termination Date (or such earlier date on which the Revolving Credit Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 2.5 or Article 7). The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of its Revolving Credit Loans from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.9.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 9.6(d), and a subaccount therein for each Lender in which there shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to Section 2.2(b) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

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

Section 2.3 Procedure for Revolving Credit Borrowing.

(a) The Borrower may borrow under the Commitments during the Commitment Period on any Business Day; provided that the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Request, which Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable, (i) prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Eurodollar Loans and (ii) prior to 12:00 P.M., New York City time, on the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Reference Rate Loans, specifying (A) the amount to be borrowed, (B) the requested Borrowing Date, (C) whether the borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Loan a Reference Rate Loan or a combination thereof and (D) the length of the Interest Period for each Eurodollar Loan included in such Borrowing Request. Each borrowing under the Commitments

shall be in an aggregate principal amount of the lesser of (1) (x) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (y) in the case of Reference Rate Loans, $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, and (2) the then Available Commitments.

(b) Upon receipt of such Borrowing Request from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof (but in any event no later than (i) the date of receipt of such Borrowing Request from the Borrower, in the case of Eurodollar Loans and (ii) 12:30 P.M., New York City time, on the requested Borrowing Date in the case of Reference Rate Loans). Each Lender will make the amount of its Commitment Percentage of each borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the office of the Administrative Agent set forth in Section 9.2 prior to (1) 2:00 P.M., New York City time, in the case of Reference Rate Loans, and (2) 12:00 P.M., New York City time, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, in each case on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent in Dollars. The proceeds of all such Revolving Credit Loans will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent by crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the Administrative Agent, or such other account of the Borrower as shall have been designated by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a proposed Borrowing Date (or, in the case of any borrowing of Reference Rate Loans, prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time on the proposed Borrowing Date) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent the amount which would constitute its Commitment Percentage of the borrowing on such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such Borrowing Date, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the borrowing on such Borrowing Date. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower as promptly as practicable if such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent on such Borrowing Date. If such amount is made available to the Administrative Agent on a date after such Borrowing Date, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) the daily average overnight Federal Funds Effective Rate during such period as quoted by the Administrative Agent, times (ii) the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such borrowing (minus the amount, if any, which such Lender has made available to the Administrative Agent), times (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse from and including such Borrowing Date to the date on which such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such borrowing shall have become immediately available to the Administrative Agent and the denominator of which is 360. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.3(c) shall be prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information set forth therein, absent manifest error. If such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such borrowing is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such borrowing (minus the amount, if any, which such Lender had made available to the Administrative Agent) on demand from the Borrower with interest thereon (A) for the period from and including such Borrowing Date to the date one day after such demand, at a rate per annum equal to the daily average overnight Federal Funds Effective Rate during such period as quoted by the Administrative Agent and calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed and (B) thereafter, at the rate per annum applicable to Reference Rate Loans hereunder. Nothing contained in this Section 2.3(c) shall prejudice in any manner whatsoever any right or remedy of the Borrower against such Lender.

Section 2.4 Termination or Reduction of Commitments; Increase of Commitments.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than two Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount thereof, provided that no such termination or reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Loans made on the effective date thereof, the then outstanding Total Extensions of Credit would exceed the amount of the Commitments then in effect. Any such reduction shall be in an amount of $10,000,000, or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and shall reduce permanently the amount of such Commitments then in effect.

(b) The Borrower shall have the right, upon notice to the Administrative Agent and without the consent of the Lenders (provided that no Lender’s Commitment shall be increased without such Lender’s consent, which consent may be given or withheld in such Lender’s sole and absolute discretion), to cause from time to time an increase in the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders (i) by adding one or more additional Lenders, each with its own additional Commitment, and any such additional Lenders must be approved by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, and the Swing Line Lender (such approvals not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and shall become a party as a “Lender” and assume obligations and acquire rights as such additional Lender would have assumed and/or acquired had such additional Lender been an original Lender, or (ii) by allowing one or more existing Lenders to increase their respective Commitments; provided that (A) no such increase provided for in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be permitted if (1) any Event of Default then exists and is continuing or (2) the aggregate Commitments immediately after giving effect to such increases would exceed $500,000,000 and (B) the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower certifying that each of the representations and warranties made by the Borrower in this Agreement (other than the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.5, Section 3.11, Section 3.15 and Section 3.16) are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such increase (provided that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof). Each such increase shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000.

Section 2.5 Prepayments.

(a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Revolving Credit Loans and the Swing Line Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable written notice delivered to the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days’ (or such shorter notice period as may be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) prior thereto in the case of Eurodollar Loans and on the date of such prepayment in the case of Reference Rate Loans or Swing Line Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans, Reference Rate Loans, Swing Line Loans or a combination thereof, and if of a combination thereof, the amount of prepayment allocable to each. Each such prepayment shall be (i) in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, in the case of Eurodollar Loans and (ii) in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof, in the case of Reference Rate Loans and Swing Line Loans. Upon receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. If such notice is given, the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (except in the case of Reference Rate Loans and Swing Line Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid and any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.16.

(b) If, after giving effect to any termination or reduction of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.4, Section 2.21 or Section 2.22(d), the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Total Extensions of Credit exceeds the Commitments as so reduced, the Borrower shall, simultaneously with

any such termination or reduction of the Commitments, pay or prepay the Revolving Credit Loans and the Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to such excess, together with interest thereon accrued to such date of payment or prepayment and any amount payable pursuant to Section 2.16; provided that if the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans then outstanding is less than the amount of such excess (because L/C Obligations constitute a portion thereof), the Borrower shall, to the extent of the balance of such excess, Cash Collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount equal to such excess to be held as provided in Section 2.20(k).

Section 2.6 Conversion and Continuation Options. With respect to Revolving Credit Loans:

(a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert its Eurodollar Loans to Reference Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election by 11:00 A.M. on a Business Day, provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert its Reference Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election. Any such notice of conversion to Eurodollar Loans shall specify the length of the Interest Periods therefor. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. All or any part of the outstanding Eurodollar Loans and Reference Rate Loans may be converted as provided herein, provided that no Revolving Credit Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders in their sole discretion, notifies the Borrower such conversions shall not be permitted, (ii) if, after giving effect thereto, Section 2.7 would be contravened, or (iii) after the date that is one month prior to the last occurring Commitment Termination Date; provided further, that if such conversion is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso and the applicable Eurodollar Loan is not repaid, such Revolving Credit Loans shall automatically be converted to Reference Rate Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period.

(b) Any Eurodollar Loans may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the appropriate notification provisions therefor set forth in Section 2.6(a), of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, provided that no Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions, (ii) if, after giving effect thereto, Section 2.7 would be contravened, or (iii) after the date that is one month prior to the Commitment Termination Date; provided further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this Section 2.6 or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, such Revolving Credit Loans shall automatically be converted to Reference Rate Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period.

Section 2.7 Maximum Number of Tranches. All borrowings, conversions and continuations of Loans and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, there shall be no more than twenty Tranches outstanding at any one time.

Section 2.8 Fees.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (subject to Section 2.22(b)(i)) a non-refundable commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) from and including the Closing Date to such Lender’s Commitment Termination Date, computed at the rate per annum set forth on (i) at all times prior to the Rating Date, the Leverage-Based Pricing Grid and (ii) at all times from and after the Rating Date, the Ratings-Based Pricing Grid, in each case, on the average daily amount of the Available Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made. Such Commitment Fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and on such Lender’s Commitment Termination Date or such earlier date as the Commitment of such Lender shall terminate as provided herein, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the Closing Date.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, an administrative agent’s fee set forth in the Fee Letter between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

Section 2.9 Interest Rate.

(a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for the Interest Period applicable thereto on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Each Reference Rate Loan shall bear interest for each day on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Reference Rate for such day plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate equal to the sum of (i) the ASK Rate or ABR as elected by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19(a) plus (ii) (A) if such Swing Line Loan is an ASK Rate Loan, the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans or (B) if such Swing Line Loan is an ABR Loan, the Applicable Margin for Reference Rate Loans.

(d) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall, without limiting the rights of any Lender under Article 7, bear interest at a rate per annum which is (i) in the case of overdue principal, 2% above the rate which would otherwise be applicable pursuant to Section 2.9(a), (b) or (c) and (ii) in the case of any other overdue amount, 2% above the rate described in Section 2.9(b), in each case from the date of nonpayment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment); provided that if such overdue principal amount is of Eurodollar Loans and the due date therefor is other than the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto, such Eurodollar Loans shall bear interest from the date that such principal amount was due to the last day of such Interest Period at a rate per annum which is 2% above the rate which would otherwise be applicable pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 2.9.

(e) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to clause (d) of this Section 2.9 shall be payable from time to time on demand.

Section 2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees.

(a) Interest in respect of the Reference Rate Loans and the Swing Line Loans (other than ASK Rate Loans) shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 (or 366, as the case may be) day year for the

actual days elapsed. Commitment Fees and interest in respect of ASK Rate Loans and Eurodollar Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Reference Rate, the ABR, the ASK Rate or the Applicable Margin shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change in the ABR, the ASK Rate or Reference Rate is announced or such Applicable Margin changes as provided herein, as the case may be. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, upon the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.9(a).

(c) If any Reference Lender’s Commitment shall terminate or all of its Loans are assigned to another Person for any reason whatsoever, such Reference Lender shall thereupon cease to be a Reference Lender. If for any reason there shall cease to be at least three Reference Lenders, then the Administrative Agent (with the consent of the Borrower) shall by notice to the Borrower and the Lenders designate another Lender as a Reference Lender so that there shall at all times be at least three Reference Lenders; provided that each Reference Lender must be a Lender.

(d) Each Reference Lender shall use its best efforts to furnish quotations of rates to the Administrative Agent as contemplated hereby. If any of the Reference Lenders shall be unable or otherwise fails to supply such rates to the Administrative Agent upon its request, the rate of interest shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Lenders or Reference Lender.

(e) The Borrower may, not more than once in each calendar year, change one or more of the Reference Lenders in accordance with this Section 2.10(e); provided that each Reference Lender must be a Lender. In order to effect such change, the Borrower shall give notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly transmit such notice to each Lender) that, commencing with (x) each Interest Period beginning not less than 10 Business Days after receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice with respect to Eurodollar Loans and (y) the first day of the first calendar month beginning not less than 10 Business Days after receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice with respect to Reference Rate Loans, the Reference Lenders shall be changed to the Lenders specified in such notice.

Section 2.11 Inability to Determine Interest Rate; Illegality.

(a) Inability to Determine Interest Rate. In the event that prior to the first day of any Interest Period with respect to a Eurodollar Loan:

(i) none of the Reference Lenders is able to obtain bids for its Dollar deposits for such Interest Period in the manner contemplated by the term “Eurodollar Rate”; or

(ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Lenders constituting the Required Lenders that the interest rate determined pursuant to Section 2.9(a) for such Interest Period does not accurately reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining Eurodollar Loans during such Interest Period,

with respect to a Loan that is to be made as or converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Loan, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give telecopy or telephonic notice (provided that any telephonic

notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing) of such determination to the Borrower and each Lender at least one day prior to the relevant Borrowing Date, conversion date or continuation date for such Eurodollar Loan. If such notice is given, any Loan that is to be made as or converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Loan shall be made as or converted to a Reference Rate Loan. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans to Eurodollar Loans.

(b) Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its applicable lending office to honor its obligation to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans either generally or having a particular Interest Period hereunder, then (a) such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof and such Lender’s obligation to make such Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended (the “Affected Loans”) until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain such Eurodollar Loans and (b) all Affected Loans which would otherwise be made by such Lender shall be made instead as Reference Rate Loans (and, if such Lender so requests by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, all Affected Loans of such Lender then outstanding shall be automatically converted into Reference Rate Loans on the date specified by such Lender in such notice) and, to the extent that Affected Loans are so made as (or converted into) Reference Rate Loans, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Affected Loans shall be applied instead to its Reference Rate Loans.

Section 2.12 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

(a) Each borrowing of Loans by the Borrower (except for Swing Line Loans) from the Lenders hereunder and, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.21 and Section 2.22, each payment by the Borrower on account of any fee payable hereunder in respect of the Commitments and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders hereunder shall be made pro rata according to the respective Commitment Percentages of the Lenders. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.21 or Section 2.22, each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Loans (except for Swing Line Loans) shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans then held by the Lenders.

(b) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder and under any other Loan Documents, whether on account of principal, interest and fees or otherwise, shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 P.M., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Administrative Agent’s office set forth in Section 9.2, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds. Any amounts received after such time on any date shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for the purposes of calculating interest thereon. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to each Lender to its Eurodollar Office or Domestic Office, as applicable, promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(c) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed L/C Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of 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, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed L/C Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed L/C Disbursements then due to such parties.

Section 2.13 Payments by the Borrower.

Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, and each Lender severally agrees to repay forthwith on demand, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average overnight Federal Funds Effective Rate during such period as quoted by the Administrative Agent and calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.

Section 2.14 Other Costs; Increased Costs.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender which requests compensation under this Section 2.14 (by notice to the Borrower), on the last day of each Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Loan made or maintained by such Lender, so long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves against “Eurocurrency liabilities” under Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or, so long as such Lender may be required by such Board of Governors or by any other Governmental Authority to maintain reserves against any other category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or against any category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender which includes any Eurodollar Loans), an additional amount (determined by such Lender and notified to the Borrower) representing such Lender’s calculation or, if an accurate calculation is impracticable, reasonable estimate (using such reasonable means of allocation as such Lender shall determine) of the actual costs, if any, incurred by such Lender during such Interest Period as a result of the applicability of the foregoing reserves to such Eurodollar Loans, which amount in any event shall not exceed the product of the following for each day of such Interest Period:

(i) the principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans made or maintained by such Lender to which such Interest Period relates outstanding on such day; and

(ii) the difference between (x) a fraction the numerator of which is the Eurodollar Rate (expressed as a decimal) applicable to such Eurodollar Loan and the denominator of which is one minus the maximum rate (expressed as a decimal) at which such reserve requirements are imposed by such Board of Governors or other Governmental Authority on such date minus (y) such numerator; and

(iii) a fraction the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is 360.

(b) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender;

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

(iii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

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

(c) If any Lender determines in good faith 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 by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, as applicable, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Lender (in its capacity as an Issuing Bank), 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), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered; provided that such Lender or such Issuing Bank is generally seeking compensation from similarly situated borrowers under similar credit facilities (to the extent such Lender or such Issuing Bank has the right under such similar credit facilities to do so) with respect to such Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements.

(d) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clause (b) or (c) of this Section 2.14 shall be delivered to such Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(e) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.14 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower 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 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.15 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, the payment of Other Taxes.

(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.15, 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 the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 30 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.15) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient 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; provided, however, the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify a Recipient pursuant to this Section 2.15(d) for any Indemnified Taxes unless such Recipient makes written demand on the Borrower for indemnification for such Indemnified Taxes no later than 120 days after the earlier of (i) the date on which the relevant Governmental Authority makes written demand upon such Recipient for payment of such Indemnified Taxes, and (ii) the date on which such Recipient has made payment of such Indemnified Taxes. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.6 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the

amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (e).

(f) Status of Lenders.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of any such non-U.S. documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.15(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 (or successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form) 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;

(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form);

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form); or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-3 or Exhibit G-4, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) 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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.15 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.15 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including 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 over pursuant to this clause (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this clause (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 2.15 shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Section 2.16 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of:

(a) failure by the Borrower to make a payment when due of the principal amount of or interest on any Eurodollar Loans of such Lender;

(b) failure by the Borrower to borrow Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a Borrowing Request requesting the same in accordance with Section 2.3;

(c) failure by the Borrower to make a conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with Section 2.6;

(d) failure by the Borrower to make any prepayment of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given notice of the same in accordance with Section 2.5(a);

(e) the making of any conversion or prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day which is not the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto; and

(f) any assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18;

including in each case any such loss or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its Eurodollar Loans hereunder or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained and any foreign exchange losses actually incurred. If a Lender becomes entitled to claim any amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall promptly notify the Borrower, through the Administrative Agent, of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.16 and setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such claim, submitted by such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) to the Borrower, shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

Section 2.17 Mitigation Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or Section 2.15, 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 Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

Section 2.18 Replacement of Lenders. If (a) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, (b) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lenders pursuant to Section 2.15, (c) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender fails to execute and deliver any amendment, consent or waiver to any Loan Document requested by the Borrower by the date specified by the Borrower (or gives the Borrower or the Administrative Agent written notice prior to such date of its intention not to do so), which amendment, consent or waiver is required to be executed by all Lenders or all affected Lenders, (d) any Lender shall fail to agree to extend the Commitment Termination Date pursuant to Section 2.21, or (e) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall give 15 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender, then, in each case, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.6), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Lender, which consents shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swing Line Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee or the Borrower, as applicable, (iii) if any such Lender is an Issuing Bank and any Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank under this Agreement remain outstanding, the Borrower shall deposit cash collateral with such Issuing Bank in an amount equal to the aggregate face amount of such Letters of Credit upon terms reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank to secure the Borrower’s obligations to reimburse for drawings under such Letters of Credit or make other arrangements satisfactory to such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit, including other credit support, (iv) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments, (v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender failing to execute and deliver any amendment, consent or waiver requested by the Borrower, the applicable amendment, consent or waiver has been approved by the Required Lenders, and (vi) if the assignee is not another Lender, the Administrative Agent shall have received a registration and processing fee of $3,500.

Section 2.19 Swing Line Commitments.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (in such capacity, the “Swing Line Lender”) agrees to make swing line loans (individually, a “Swing Line Loan”; collectively, the “Swing Line Loans”) in Dollars to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day

during the period from the Availability Date to the Commitment Termination Date of the Swing Line Lender in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the Swing Line Commitment, provided that at no time may the aggregate principal amount of the Total Extensions of Credit exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments. During the Commitment Period, the Borrower may use the Swing Line Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Swing Line Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. The Swing Line Loans may from time to time be (i) ABR Loans, (ii) ASK Rate Loans or (iii) a combination thereof, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance herewith and shall not be entitled to be converted into Eurodollar Loans or Reference Rate Loans. The Borrower shall give the Swing Line Lender irrevocable written notice (which notice must be received by such Swing Line Lender prior to (x) 3:00 P.M., New York City time, in the case of ABR Loans and (y) 2:00 P.M., New York City time, in the case of ASK Rate Loans), on the requested Borrowing Date specifying the Type and amount of the requested Swing Line Loan which shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 or whole multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. The proceeds of all such Swing Line Loans will then be made available to the Borrower by the Swing Line Lender by crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the Swing Line Lender, or such other account of the Borrower as shall have been designated by the Borrower to the Swing Line Lender.

(b)(i) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swing Line Loan on the earlier of (x) the Commitment Termination Date and (y) the 14^th Business Day after such Swing Line Loan was made (or such earlier date on which the Swing Line Loans become due and payable pursuant to Article 7). The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Swing Line Loans from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.9.

(ii) The Swing Line Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Borrower to the Swing Line Lender resulting from each Swing Line Loan from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to the Swing Line Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(iii) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 9.6(d), and a subaccount therein for the Swing Line Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Swing Line Loan made hereunder and the Type thereof, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to the Swing Line Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

(iv) The entries made in the Register and the account of the Swing Line Lender maintained pursuant to Section 2.19(b)(ii) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Swing Line Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Swing Line Loans made the Borrower by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(v) The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to the Swing Line Lender a promissory note of the Borrower evidencing the Swing Line Loans of the Swing Line Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit B with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount (a “Swing Line Note”).

(c) The Swing Line Lender in its sole and absolute discretion may, at any time as there shall be a Swing Line Loan outstanding for more than 10 Business Days, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs and authorizes the Swing Line Lender to act on its behalf), request each Lender (in accordance with the notice provisions under Section 2.3), including the Swing Line Lender, to make a Revolving Credit Loan that is a Eurodollar Loan with an Interest Period of one month in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the principal amount of the Swing Line Loans (the “Refunded Swing Line Loans”) outstanding on the date such notice is given; provided that prior to making any such request to the Lenders to make such a Revolving Credit Loan, the Swing Line Lender shall have given the Borrower one Business Day’s notice of its intent to make such request; and provided further the provisions of this Section 2.19 shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower to prepay Swing Line Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Unless the Commitments shall have expired or terminated (in which event the procedures of clauses (d) or (e) of this Section 2.19 shall apply), each Lender will make the proceeds of its Revolving Credit Loan available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the office of the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 P.M., New York City time, in funds immediately available in accordance with Section 2.3. The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans shall be immediately applied to repay the Refunded Swing Line Loans.

(d) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.19(e), if the Commitments shall expire or terminate at any time while Swing Line Loans are outstanding, each Lender shall, at the option of the Swing Line Lender exercised reasonably, notwithstanding the expiration or termination of the Commitments, make a Revolving Credit Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage determined on the date of, and immediately prior to, the expiration or termination of the Commitments, of the aggregate principal amount of such Swing Line Loans. Each Lender will make the proceeds of any Revolving Credit Loan made pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the office of the Administrative Agent prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City time, in funds immediately available on the Business Day on which the Commitments expire or terminate; provided, however, in the event that the Lenders do not receive notice of such termination before 12:00 P.M., New York City time on such date such proceeds shall be made available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the office of the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, prior to 12:00 P.M., New York City time, on the immediately succeeding Business Day. The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans shall be immediately applied to repay the Swing Line Loans outstanding on the date of termination or expiration of the Commitments.

(e) If prior to the time a Revolving Credit Loan would have otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.19(c), one of the events described in clause (f) of Article 7 shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower, each Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Credit Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.19(d), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the then outstanding Swing Line Loans by paying to the Swing Line Lender an amount (the “Swing Line Participation Amount”) equal to (i) such Lender’s Commitment Percentage times (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding that were to have been repaid with such Revolving Credit Loans.

(f) Whenever, at any time after the Swing Line Lender has received from any Lender such Lender’s Swing Line Participation Amount, the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of the Swing Line Loans, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Swing Line Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Lender’s pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swing Line Loans then due); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Line Lender is required to be returned, such Lender will return to the Swing Line Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swing Line Lender.

(g) Each Lender’s obligation to make the Revolving Credit Loans referred to in Section 2.19(c) and Section 2.19(d) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.19(e) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender or the Borrower may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Article 4, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any Note by the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Lender or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

Section 2.20 Letters of Credit.

(a) L/C Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Bank, in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in Section 2.20(e), agrees to issue letters of credit (“Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates on any Business Day during the period from the Availability Date to the Commitment Termination Date of such Issuing Bank in such form as may be approved from time to time by such Issuing Bank; provided that no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) without the consent of the applicable Issuing Bank, (A) in the case of any Principal Issuing Bank, the L/C Obligations with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Principal Issuing Bank would exceed $10,000,000 or such other amount (not to exceed, when added to the Letter of Credit commitments of all other Issuing Banks, the aggregate amount of the Commitments) as may be agreed to by such Principal Issuing Bank and the Borrower in writing from time to time (with prompt notice to the Administrative Agent), and (B) in the case of any other Issuing Bank, the L/C Obligations with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank would exceed such amount (not to exceed, when added to the Letter of Credit commitments of all other Issuing Banks, the aggregate amount of the Commitments) as may be agreed to by such Issuing Bank and the Borrower in writing from time to time (with prompt notice to the Administrative Agent), (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Total Extensions of Credit would exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments, or (iii) in the event that the Commitment Termination Date shall have been extended pursuant to Section 2.21 with respect to some but not all of the Lenders, the portion of the L/C Obligations attributable to Letters of Credit with expiry dates after any Existing Commitment Termination Date will exceed the portion of the aggregate Commitments attributable to the Commitments of the Lenders with respect to which the Commitment Termination Date shall have been extended beyond such Existing Commitment Termination Date. Each Letter of Credit shall (A) be denominated in Dollars, (B) have a face amount of at least $1,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by the Issuing Bank) and (C) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date of the applicable Issuing Bank, provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above).

It is agreed that the Borrower shall have the right from and after the Closing Date to request that any letter of credit issued by a Principal Issuing Bank pursuant to documentation other than this Agreement be deemed (at any time during the Commitment Period of such Principal Issuing Bank) to constitute a Letter of Credit issued under this Agreement, and, provided that all requirements of this Agreement that would then be applicable to the issuance of such letter of credit if it were then being newly issued as a Letter of Credit hereunder are satisfied (including the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.2 and Section 4.3), and with the consent of the applicable Principal

Issuing Bank, such letter of credit shall be so deemed to constitute a Letter of Credit issued under this Agreement as fully as if it were then newly issued under this Agreement. The applicable Principal Issuing Bank shall provide the Administrative Agent with a copy of each such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.20(b) below.

(b) Procedure for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit. The Borrower may from time to time request that an Issuing Bank issue or amend a Letter of Credit, as the case may be, by delivering to such Issuing Bank, at its address for notices specified herein (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by such Issuing Bank) an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of such Issuing Bank. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the applicable Issuing Bank such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Bank may request. Upon receipt of any Application, such Issuing Bank will provide a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent and, following receipt, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders thereof. Such Issuing Bank will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures, unless, in the case of any L/C Credit Extension, such Issuing Bank has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of the applicable L/C Credit Extension, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Section 4.3 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such Issuing Bank shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit or applicable amendment, as the case may be, requested thereby (but in no event shall such Issuing Bank be required to issue or amend any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit (or amendment thereto) to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by such Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Such Issuing Bank shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit or any amendment thereto to the Borrower promptly following the issuance thereof. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each increase or decrease in the amount of such Letter of Credit and the termination of such Letter of Credit.

(c) Additional Provisions Regarding Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained herein, no Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank (x) shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular, (y) shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise entitled to be compensated hereunder) not in effect on the date of this Agreement, or (z) shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the date hereof and which such Issuing Bank in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it; provided that, in the cases of clauses (y) and (z), such Issuing Bank shall have provided written notice to the Borrower of its refusal to issue any Letter of Credit and the specific reasons therefor and the Borrower shall not have compensated such Issuing Bank for the imposition of such restriction, reserve or capital requirement or reimbursed such Issuing Bank for such loss, cost or expense, as applicable; (ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would otherwise conflict with, or cause such Issuing Bank or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Law; (iii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally; or (iv) such Letter of Credit would expire after the date which is five Business Days prior to such Issuing Bank’s Commitment Termination Date. An Issuing Bank shall not be obligated to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to the Letter of Credit.

(d) Fees and Other Charges.

(i) The Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (subject to Section 2.22(b)(v)), a fee (“Letter of Credit Fees”) on the daily amount available to be drawn under all outstanding Letters of Credit, shared ratably among the Lenders and payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date, in the following amounts:

(A) as to Performance Letters of Credit, at a per annum rate equal to 50% of the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans then in effect; and

(B) as to Financial Letters of Credit, at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans then in effect.

(ii) In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Issuing Bank, a fronting fee at the rate or rates per annum separately agreed upon by the Borrower and such Issuing Bank on the daily amount available to be drawn under of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date.

(iii) The foregoing fees shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for actual days elapsed.

(iv) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse each Issuing Bank for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Bank in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.

(e) L/C Participations.

(i) By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the L/C Participants, each Issuing Bank irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce each Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from each Issuing Bank, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Commitment Percentage in each Issuing Bank’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit and the amount of each draft paid by any Issuing Bank thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Bank that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which such Issuing Bank is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Bank upon demand at such Issuing Bank’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed. Each L/C Participant’s obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C Participant may have against such

Issuing Bank, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Article 4, (C) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, (D) any breach of this Agreement by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other L/C Participant, or (E) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(ii) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to any Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.20(e)(i) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any L/C Disbursement is paid to such Issuing Bank within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Bank on demand an amount equal to the product of (A) such amount, times (B) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Bank, times (C) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 2.20(e)(i) is not made available to such Issuing Bank by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to Reference Rate Loans. A certificate of any Issuing Bank submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.20(e) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(iii) Whenever, at any time after any Issuing Bank has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 2.20(e)(i), such Issuing Bank receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Bank), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Bank will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Bank shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Bank, such L/C Participant shall return to such Issuing Bank the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Bank to it.

(f) Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. If any draft is paid under any Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for the amount of (i) such draft so paid and (ii) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing Bank in connection with such payment, not later than 12:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice (which notice shall be given by telecopy or telephone in accordance with Section 9.2). Each such payment shall be made to such Issuing Bank at its address for notices referred to herein in Dollars. Interest shall be payable on any such amounts from the date on which the relevant draft is paid until payment in full at the rate set forth in (A) until the Business Day next succeeding the date of the relevant notice, Section 2.9(b) and (B) thereafter, Section 2.9(d).

(g) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.20 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may have or have had against any Issuing Bank, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with each Issuing Bank that no Issuing Bank shall be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 2.20(f) shall not be affected by, among other things, (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any

respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.20, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Banks, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of any Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the relevant Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(h) Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of the date and amount thereof and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make a payment thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any L/C Disbursement in accordance with the terms hereof. The responsibility of such Issuing Bank to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

(i) Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 2.20, the provisions of this Section 2.20 shall apply.

(j) Liability of Borrower. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or otherwise outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of the Borrower, or, in the case of a letter of credit deemed to constitute a Letter of Credit hereunder pursuant to Section 2.20(a), was originally issued for the account of another Person, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit as provided in this Agreement.

(k) Cash Collateralization. If (i) an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders

(or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with reimbursement obligations with respect to L/C Obligations representing greater than 50% of the total L/C Obligations) demanding the deposit of Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.20(k) or (ii) the Borrower is required to Cash Collateralize L/C Obligations pursuant to a provision of this Agreement including pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.5(b) or Section 2.21(h), on the date required by such provision, the Borrower shall provide Cash Collateral in an amount in cash equal to the L/C Obligations as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such Cash Collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (f) of Article 7. As collateral security for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, the Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Issuing Bank and the Lenders, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, and any substitutions and replacements therefor. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, as applicable, over any such cash, accounts and other property. Other than any interest earned on the investment of any such deposits (in the event any such investment is made pursuant to the following sentence), such deposits shall not bear interest. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to invest any such deposits; provided that if the Administrative Agent elects to invest any such deposits, the Administrative Agent shall invest such deposits in one or more types of Cash Equivalents, and such investments shall be at the Borrower’s risk and expense. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in any such accounts. Moneys in any such accounts and the cash proceeds of any other property shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse ratably the Issuing Banks for any L/C Disbursement for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the L/C Obligations at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with reimbursement obligations with respect to L/C Obligations representing greater than 50% of the total L/C Obligations), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of Cash Collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default and the Borrower is not otherwise required to pay to the Administrative Agent any Cash Collateral under Section 2.5(b), Section 2.21(h) or otherwise, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. If no Event of Default exists, Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or to secure other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with the terms hereof)), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank that there exists excess Cash Collateral.

(l) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.20(d). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

Section 2.21 Extension of Commitment Termination Date.

(a) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may request, in a notice given as herein provided and substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E or in such other form as shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent (the “Extension of Commitment Termination Date Request”) to the Administrative Agent, who shall promptly forward such notice to each of the Lenders, not less than 60 days and not more than 90 days prior to each anniversary of the Availability Date, that the then-applicable Commitment Termination Date (the “Existing Commitment Termination Date”) be extended to the date that is one year after such Existing Commitment Termination Date (each such date, the “Requested Commitment Termination Date”); provided that the Borrower may request such an extension no more than two times. Each Lender, acting in its sole discretion, shall, not later than a date 30 days after its receipt of any such notice from the Borrower, notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its election to extend or not to extend the Existing Commitment Termination Date with respect to its Commitment. Any Lender which shall not timely notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its election to extend the Existing Commitment Termination Date shall be deemed not to have elected to extend the Existing Commitment Termination Date with respect to its Commitment (any Lender who timely notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of an election not to extend, or revokes its election to extend in accordance with this Section 2.21, or fails to timely notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its election being referred to as a “Terminating Lender”). Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any notice by any Lender of its willingness to extend the Existing Commitment Termination Date shall be revocable by such Lender in its sole and absolute discretion at any time prior to the date which is 30 days after its receipt of any Extension of Commitment Termination Date Request. The election of any Lender to agree to a requested extension shall not obligate any other Lender to agree to such requested extension.

(b) If and only if the Required Lenders (including Commitments of all Terminating Lenders on such date) shall have agreed in writing during the 30 day period referred to in Section 2.21(a) to extend the Existing Commitment Termination Date, then (i) the Commitments of the Lenders other than Terminating Lenders (the “Continuing Lenders”) shall, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, be extended to the Requested Commitment Termination Date specified in the Extension of Commitment Termination Date Request from the Borrower, and as to such Lenders the term “Commitment Termination Date”, as used herein, shall on and after the date as of which the requested extension is effective mean such Requested Commitment Termination Date, provided that if such date is not a Business Day, then such Requested Commitment Termination Date shall be the next preceding Business Day and (ii) the Commitments of the Terminating Lenders shall continue until the then-applicable Existing Commitment Termination Date, and shall then terminate, and as to the Terminating Lenders, the term “Commitment Termination Date”, as used herein, shall continue to mean such Existing Commitment Termination Date. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify (A) the Lenders and the Borrower of any extension of any Existing Commitment Termination Date pursuant to this Section 2.21 and (B) the Borrower and the Lenders of any Lender which becomes a Terminating Lender (the date of such notification being referred to herein as the “Extension Confirmation Date”).

(c) As a condition precedent to any such extension of the Commitment Termination Date on the Extension Confirmation Date, the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of the Borrower dated as of the Extension Confirmation Date and signed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower approving or consenting to such extension, and (ii) certifying that (A) before and after giving effect to such extension, the representations and warranties contained in Article 3 are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Extension Confirmation Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, and (B) before and after giving effect to such extension, no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or will result therefrom.

(d) In the event that the Commitment Termination Date shall have been extended for the Continuing Lenders in accordance with Section 2.21(b) above and, in connection with such extension, there are Terminating Lenders, the Borrower may, at its own expense and in its sole discretion and prior to the then-applicable Existing Commitment Termination Date, require any Terminating Lender to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with Section 2.18 and Section 9.6(c)) all or part of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee (which assignee may be another Lender, if another Lender accepts such assignment) that shall assume such assigned obligations and that shall agree that its Commitment will expire on the Commitment Termination Date in effect for Continuing Lenders pursuant to Section 2.21(b); provided, however, that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Lender (which consents shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed), to the extent required by Section 9.6(c), (ii) the assigning Lender shall have received from the Borrower or such assignee full payment in immediately available funds of the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the Loans made by it hereunder to the extent that such Loans are subject to such assignment and all other amounts owed to it hereunder, and (iii) if the assigning Lender is an Issuing Bank, it shall have received cash collateral as required by Section 2.21(f) or it shall have entered into other arrangements with the Borrower that are satisfactory to such Issuing Bank with respect to any outstanding Letters of Credit issued by it. Any such assignee’s initial Commitment Termination Date shall be the Commitment Termination Date in effect for the Continuing Lenders at the time of such assignment. The Borrower shall not be permitted to require a Lender to assign any part of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.21(d) unless it has notified such Lender of its intention to require the assignment thereof at least ten days prior to the proposed assignment date. Any assignee which becomes a Lender as a result of such an assignment made pursuant to this Section 2.21(d) shall be deemed to have consented to the applicable Extension of Commitment Termination Date Request and, therefore, shall not be a Terminating Lender.

(e) The Borrower shall repay in full all Revolving Credit Loans owing to any Terminating Lender on the Existing Commitment Termination Date, with accrued interest and all other amounts then due and owing thereon, on or before the Existing Commitment Termination Date with respect to such Terminating Lender.

(f) In the event that any Terminating Lender is an Issuing Bank and any Letters of Credit issued by such Bank under this Agreement remain outstanding on the Existing Commitment Termination Date, the Borrower shall deposit cash collateral with such Issuing Bank in an amount equal to the aggregate face amount of such Letters of Credit upon terms reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank to secure the Borrower’s obligations to reimburse for drawings under such Letters of Credit or make other arrangements satisfactory to such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit including providing other credit support.

(g) Each Continuing Lender shall automatically (without any further action) and ratably acquire on the Existing Commitment Termination Date the Terminating Lender’s participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans, in an amount equal to such Continuing Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of such participations but only to the extent that such acquisition does not cause, with respect to any Continuing Lender, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans of such Lender, plus such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the L/C Obligations then outstanding, plus such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of all Swing Line Loans then outstanding, to exceed such Continuing Lender’s Commitments as in effect at such time.

(h) If the acquisition of the Terminating Lender’s participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans described in the preceding clause (g) cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall make any prepayments and provide all Cash Collateral required pursuant to Section 2.5(b). The amount of Cash Collateral provided by the Borrower in accordance with this clause (h) shall reduce the Terminating Lenders’ Commitment Percentage of the outstanding amount of L/C Obligations (after giving effect to any partial acquisition pursuant to the preceding clause (g)) on a pro rata basis; and on the Existing Commitment Termination Date, each Terminating Lender’s Commitment to make Revolving Credit Loans, purchase participations in Swing Line Loans, and purchase participations in L/C Obligations with respect to Letters of Credit issued after its Existing Commitment Termination Date shall terminate.

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any extension of any Commitment Termination Date pursuant to this Section 2.21 shall not be effective with respect to any Lender unless:

(i) the Borrower shall have made all payments required pursuant to clause (e) of this Section 2.21 and Section 2.5(b);

(ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received any Cash Collateral required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.5(b); and

(iii) the applicable Issuing Bank(s) shall have received such cash collateral as is required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to clause (f) of this Section 2.21 or shall have entered into other satisfactory arrangements with the Borrower with respect to any outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.

Section 2.22 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Payments to Defaulting Lenders. If a Defaulting Lender as a result of the exercise of a set off shall have received a payment in respect of its outstanding Revolving Credit Loans which results in its pro rata share of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans outstanding being less than such Defaulting Lender’s pro rata share of the sum of the aggregate amount of the Commitments, then no payment will be made to such Defaulting Lender until all amounts due and owing to the Lenders have been equalized in accordance with each Lender’s respective pro rata share of the sum of the aggregate amount of the Commitments. Further, if at any time prior to the acceleration or maturity of the Revolving Credit Loans, the Administrative Agent shall receive any payment in respect of principal of a Revolving Credit Loan while one or more Defaulting Lenders shall be party to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall apply such payment first to the Revolving Credit Loan(s) for which such Defaulting Lender(s) shall have failed to fund its pro rata share until such time as such Revolving Credit Loans(s) are paid in full or each Lender (including each Defaulting Lender) is owed its pro rata share of all Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding.

(b) 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, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(i) Commitment Fees. Fees otherwise payable pursuant to Section 2.8(a) shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee for such period that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender.

(ii) Voting. Neither the Commitment nor the principal amount of the Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall 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 or waiver pursuant to Section 9.1), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification (A) that would increase or extend the Commitment of or reduce the principal or interest owing to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or (B) requiring the consent of all Lenders which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than all other Lenders, as the case may be, shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

(iii) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 4.3 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate amount of the Commitments of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(iv) Cash Collateral; Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (iii) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure.

(v) Letter of Credit Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive fees pursuant to Section 2.20(d) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender. The Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iii) above, (y) pay to each Issuing Bank and Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank’s or Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(vi) Defaulting Lender Cure. In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the participations of the Lenders in Swing Line Loans and in L/C Obligations shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swing Line Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Commitment Percentage; provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c) New Swing Line Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan and (ii) no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

(d) Termination of Defaulting Lenders. The Borrower shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender by giving the Administrative Agent and such Defaulting Lender a written notice setting forth its election and a termination date (an “Early Commitment Termination Date”), which date shall not be earlier than three (3) Business Days after the date on which such notice has been given, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.18. On the Early Commitment Termination Date, such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment shall terminate and the Borrower shall (i) prepay all of such Defaulting Lender’s outstanding Loans together with interest thereon accrued to such Early Commitment Termination Date, (ii) pay all Commitment Fees accrued to such Early Commitment Termination Date, except as otherwise provided in clause (b)(i), (iii) pay all amounts then owing to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, Section 2.15, Section 2.16 and Section 9.5 for which demand has been made to the Borrower prior to such Early Commitment Termination Date, and (iv) if such Defaulting Lender is an Issuing Bank and any Letters of Credit issued by such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement remain outstanding, deposit cash collateral with such Defaulting Lender in an amount equal to the aggregate face amount of such Letters of Credit upon terms reasonably satisfactory to such Defaulting Lender to secure the Borrower’s obligations to reimburse for drawings under such Letters of Credit or make other arrangements satisfactory to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit, including providing other credit support. Upon termination of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment in accordance with this Section 2.22(d), such Defaulting Lender shall cease to be a party hereto.

For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that a Guarantee constitutes Priority Debt and the Indebtedness Guaranteed thereby also constitutes Priority Debt, the amount of Priority Debt outstanding at such time shall be calculated without duplication and shall include only the amount of such Guaranteed Indebtedness constituting Priority Debt and shall not include the amount of such Guarantee.

(ii) Securitization Transactions. The Borrower will not permit the aggregate outstanding amount of Securitization Transactions to exceed $300,000,000 at any time.

Section 6.6 Changes in Organization Documents. No Loan Party shall make any changes to its Organization Documents that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 6.7 Restrictive Agreements. The Borrower will not, and will not permit any Material Subsidiary to, enter into or permit to exist any agreement or other consensual arrangement that explicitly prohibits or restricts the ability of any Material Subsidiary to make any payment of any dividend or other distribution, direct or indirect, on account of any shares (or equivalent) of any class of Equity Interest of such Material Subsidiary, now or hereafter outstanding; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit financial incurrence, maintenance and similar covenants that indirectly have the practical effect of prohibiting or restricting the ability of a Material Subsidiary to make such payments or provisions that require that a certain amount of capital be maintained, or prohibit the return of capital to shareholders above certain dollar limits; provided further, that the foregoing shall not apply to (i) prohibitions and restrictions imposed by law or by this Agreement, (ii) prohibitions and restrictions contained in, or existing by reason of, any agreement or instrument (A) existing on the Availability Date and described on Schedule 6.7, (B) relating to any Indebtedness of, or otherwise to, any Person at the time such Person first becomes a Material Subsidiary, so long as such prohibition or restriction was not created in contemplation of such Person becoming a Material Subsidiary, and (C) effecting a renewal, extension, refinancing, refund or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals, refinancings, refunds or replacements) of Indebtedness or other obligations issued or outstanding under an agreement or instrument referred to in clauses (ii)(A) and (ii)(B) above, so long as the prohibitions or restrictions contained in any such renewal, extension, refinancing, refund or replacement agreement, taken as a whole, are not materially more restrictive than the prohibitions and restrictions contained in the original agreement or instrument, as determined in good faith by the Borrower or such Subsidiary, (iii) any prohibitions or restrictions with respect to a Material Subsidiary imposed pursuant to an agreement that has been entered into in connection with a disposition of all or substantially all of the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary or assets thereof, (iv) restrictions contained in joint venture agreements, partnership agreements and other similar agreements with respect to a joint ownership arrangement restricting the disposition or distribution of assets or property of, or the activities of, such joint venture, partnership or other joint ownership entity, or any of such entity’s subsidiaries, if such restrictions are not applicable to the property or assets of any other entity and (v) any prohibitions or restrictions on any Securitization Entity pursuant to a Securitization Transaction permitted hereunder.

Section 6.8 Change in Nature of Business. The Borrower will not, and will not permit any Material Subsidiary to, engage in any material line of business substantially different from those lines of business conducted by the Borrower and its Material Subsidiaries on the Availability Date or any business substantially related or incidental thereto or logical extensions thereof (including (a) the oil and gas refining (including alternative fuels, fuels from biomaterials, development and exploration of gas-to-liquids technology (including actual utilization and production)), marketing, processing and distribution businesses, (b) the natural gas gathering, processing, and transport, and NGL fractionation and marketing, businesses, (c) the chemical manufacturing, processing and marketing businesses, and (d) the crude and refined products transportation, storage and logistics businesses).

ARTICLE 8. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 8.1 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article 8 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions (except for the

Borrower with respect to its consent right set forth in Section 8.7). It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

Section 8.2 Rights as a Lender. The bank serving as the Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 8.3 Exculpatory Provisions.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(i) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, covenants, functions, responsibilities, obligations or liabilities regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing,

(ii) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.1) provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law, and

(iii) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.1) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity,

enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 4 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

Section 8.4 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Article 7(a)) unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice or any notice pursuant to Section 5.1 or Section 5.2, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

Section 8.5 Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative 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. The Administrative 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. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 8.6 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent. The Administrative 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 the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent.

Section 8.7 Resignation of Administrative 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 Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right with the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required during the continuation of an Event of Default), to appoint a successor. 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 which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent), and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article 8 and

Section 9.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

Section 8.8 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent by Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the extensions of credit made hereunder are commercial loans and letters of credit and not investments in a business enterprise or securities. Each Lender further represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder. Each Lender shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates) 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 related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder and in deciding whether or to the extent to which it will continue as a Lender or assign or otherwise transfer its rights, interests and obligations hereunder.

Section 8.9 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or 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 the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) 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, 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 (including for the avoidance of doubt the Issuing Banks) and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Section 2.20(d), Section 2.8, and Section 9.5) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 2.8 and Section 9.5.

Section 8.10 Guaranty Matters. The Lenders authorize the Administrative Agent to release any Guarantor from its obligations as a Guarantor under this Agreement pursuant to a written request made by the Borrower, if (a) such Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Borrower or a Material Subsidiary of the Borrower that is a First Tier Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under this Agreement or (b) such Guarantor is an Elective Guarantor at the time of such release. Any such request shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Financial Officer of the Borrower certifying (which

certification shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower hereunder) that (i) no Event of Default then exists or will exist after giving effect to such release, (ii) after giving pro forma effect to any such release occurring on or after the Investment Grade Rating Date, the Borrower is in compliance with Section 6.3(b)(i), and (iii) the conditions for release set forth in this Section 8.10 have been satisfied. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Guarantor from its obligations under this Agreement pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof.

Section 8.11 No Duties. None of the Joint Lead Arrangers, Co-Syndication Agents or Co-Documentation Agents shall have any duties, responsibilities or liabilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents other than the duties, responsibilities and liabilities assigned to such entities in their capacities as Lenders hereunder.

No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law.

Section 9.4 Confidentiality. Each Lender shall maintain in confidence and not disclose to any Person any non-public information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement and designated by the Borrower as such (“Confidential Information”) without the prior consent of the Borrower, subject to each Lender’s (a) obligation to disclose any Confidential Information pursuant to a request or order under applicable Laws and regulations or pursuant to a subpoena or other legal process, (b) right to disclose any Confidential Information requested by any regulatory authority, (c) right to disclose any Confidential Information to other Lenders, to bank examiners, to its Affiliates, to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including auditors, counsel and other advisors, to any Participant or prospective Participant and to any prospective Purchasing Lender pursuant to Section 9.6(c) (subject to, in the case of prospective Participants and prospective Purchasing Lenders, the signing of a confidentiality agreement), (d) right to disclose any Confidential Information in connection with any litigation or dispute or the exercise of any remedy hereunder involving the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (e) right to disclose any Confidential Information on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or this Agreement or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to this Agreement or (f) right to disclose any Confidential Information to any creditor or direct or indirect contractual counterparty in any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder or such creditor or contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 9.4); provided, however, that Confidential Information disclosed pursuant to clause (c), (d), (e) or (f) of this sentence shall be so disclosed subject to such procedures as are reasonably calculated to maintain the confidentiality thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.4, (i) the foregoing obligation of confidentiality shall not apply to any Confidential Information that was known to such Lender or any of their respective Affiliates prior to the time it received such Confidential Information from the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, other than as a result of the disclosure thereof by a Person who, to the knowledge or reasonable belief of such Lender, was prohibited from disclosing it by any duty of confidentiality arising (under this Agreement or otherwise) by contract or law, and (ii) the foregoing obligation of confidentiality shall not apply to any Confidential Information that becomes part of the public domain independently of any act of such Lender not permitted hereunder or when identical or substantially similar information is received by such Lender, without restriction as to its disclosure or use, from a Person who was not prohibited from disclosing it by any duty of confidentiality arising (under this Agreement or otherwise) by contract or law. The obligations of each Lender under this Section 9.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 9.5 Expenses; Indemnity.

(a) The Borrower agrees (i) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers for all their out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation, negotiation and execution and, with respect to the Administrative Agent only, administration, of this Agreement and any other Loan Document and any other documents prepared in connection herewith, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable legal fees and disbursements of Xxxxxx and Xxxxx, LLP, counsel to the Administrative Agent and RBS Securities, Inc., but excluding all other legal fees and disbursements, (ii) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers for all their costs and expenses incurred in connection with any amendment, supplement or modification to this Agreement and any other Loan Document and any other documents prepared in connection herewith, including the reasonable legal fees and disbursements of a single law firm serving as counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Designated Arrangers, but excluding all other legal fees and disbursements, (iii) to pay or reimburse all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit issued by it or any demand for payment thereunder, (iv) to pay or reimburse all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Swing Line Lender in connection with making any Swing Line Loan or any demand for payment thereunder, and (v) to pay or reimburse all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent and any such Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section 9.5, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Joint Lead Arranger, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by an Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Loan Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Loan Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger, any Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender under Section 9.5(a) or Section 9.5(b), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, such

Joint Lead Arranger, such Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s Commitment Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, such Joint Lead Arranger, such Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender in its capacity as such.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable Law, no party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, any claim against any other party, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that, nothing in this Section 9.5(d) shall relieve the Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee against special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party.

(e) All amounts due under this Section 9.5 shall be payable not later than 10 days after written demand therefor.

(f) The agreements in this Section 9.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 9.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations; Purchasing Lenders.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, all future holders of the Loans and their respective successors and assigns (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, other than in connection with an assignment or transfer otherwise permitted hereunder, without the prior written consent of each Lender.

(b) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities other than, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to a Competitor (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interests of such Lender hereunder. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of its Loan for all purposes under this Agreement, and the Borrower, the Issuing Banks, and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. 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 proviso in the second sentence of Section 9.1 that affects such Participant. Without affecting the limitations in the preceding sentence, each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14, Section 2.15 and Section 2.16 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time; provided that such Participant (i) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.17 and Section 2.18 as if it were a Lender, and (ii) shall not be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such

Sections than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.17 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 9.7(a) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a nonfiduciary agent of the Borrower, 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 or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. 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. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(c) Each Lender may, with the consent of the Borrower (except that such consent shall not be required during the continuation of an Event of Default or for any assignment to an existing Lender or an Affiliate thereof), the Administrative Agent (except that such consent shall not be required for any assignment to an existing Lender or an Affiliate thereof), the Swing Line Lender, and each Issuing Bank (which, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld) sell or assign to one or more Lenders or additional banks, financial institutions or other entities (other than the Borrower or any of its Affiliates) (a “Purchasing Lender”) (other than a Purchasing Lender that is a Defaulting Lender or that would be a Defaulting Lender upon becoming a Lender hereunder) all or part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to a duly executed Assignment and Assumption; provided that, if such sale is not to one or more existing Lenders or an Affiliate thereof, (i) such sale shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent, and for so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower, otherwise consents and (ii) the Commitment retained (if any) by such transferor Lender after such sale shall be at least $10,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent, and for so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower, otherwise consents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender may sell to one or more Lenders or Purchasing Lenders designated by the Borrower all of its Commitment and all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement relating to such Commitment pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption as described in the preceding sentence in connection with a purchase thereof effected pursuant to Section 2.18. Upon (A) the execution of such Assignment and Assumption, (B) delivery of an executed copy thereof to the Borrower, (C) recordation of such transfer in the Register and (D) payment by such Purchasing Lender to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 if such Purchasing Lender is not a Lender prior to the execution of such Assignment and Assumption and $2,000 otherwise (provided that the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may elect to waive such fee) and (E) payment to the Administrative Agent of any additional amounts required by Section 9.6(f), from and after the Transfer Effective Date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, such Purchasing Lender shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto with a Commitment as set forth therein and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption executed pursuant to Section 2.18 or any other assignment permitted hereunder of all of a Lender’s Commitment and all of its rights and

obligations under this Agreement relating to such Commitment, the transferor Lender shall cease to be a party hereto, but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14, Section 2.15, Section 2.16 and Section 9.5, in each case with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Such Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of any Purchasing Lender that was not a Lender prior to the execution of such Assignment and Assumption and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments and the Commitment Percentages arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement. Upon the consummation of any transfer to a Purchasing Lender pursuant to this Section 9.6(c), the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if required, a replacement Note is issued to such transferor Lender and a new Note or, as appropriate, a replacement Note, is issued to such Purchasing Lender, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their respective Commitments. Such new Notes shall be in the form of the Notes replaced thereby.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain, acting solely for this purpose as agent for the Borrower at its address referred to in Section 9.2, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and any Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loan recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by a transferor Lender, a Purchasing Lender, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and, unless waived by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.6(c), payment by the Purchasing Lender to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 if such Purchasing Lender is not a Lender prior to the execution of such Assignment and Assumption and $2,000 otherwise, the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Assumption, (ii) on the Transfer Effective Date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the Borrower.

(f) In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements or Swing Line Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Commitment Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this Section, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(g) The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchasing Lender (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information (other than Confidential Information except as permitted by Section 9.4) in such Lender’s possession concerning the Borrower, which has been delivered to such Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by the Borrower in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrower prior to entering into this Agreement.

(h) 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 pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank, and this Section 9.6 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 pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(i) The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in Section 9.6(h) above.

Section 9.7 Adjustments; Set-off.

(a) If any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans or its participations in L/C Disbursements or Swing Line Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in clause (f) of Article 7, or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements or Swing Line Loans, or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall purchase (for cash at face value) from the other Lenders participations in the Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, to the extent necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swing Line Loans; provided, however, that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 9.7 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower 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 participations in L/C Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 9.7 shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default each Lender and each of its respective Affiliates shall have the right, without prior notice to any Loan Party, any such notice being expressly waived by such Loan Party to the extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and appropriate and apply against the obligations under this Agreement any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in

each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of set-off hereunder, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.22 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of set-off. The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section 9.7 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or its Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the applicable Loan Party and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

Section 9.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission, emailed pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

Each of the Borrower and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any action described in this Section 9.10, or that such proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court, and agrees not to plead or claim the same.

Section 9.11 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in any certificate, document or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf 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 or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Section 2.14, Section 2.15,

It is hereby understood and agreed that the General Partner shall have no liability, as general partner or otherwise, for the payment of any amount owing or to be owing hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree for themselves and their respective successors and assigns that no claim arising against the Borrower under any Loan Document with respect to the Obligations shall be asserted against the General Partner or its assets.

Section 9.17 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.

The Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) and each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

ARTICLE 10. SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE

Section 10.1 Guarantee. Each Guarantor, jointly and severally, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (the “Subsidiary Guarantee”), as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the prompt and complete payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and any other Loan Document, whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses or otherwise, including obligations which, but for an automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or any other insolvency law or other proceeding, would become due (such obligations being hereinafter referred to as the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all expenses (including the legal fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent and each Lender in enforcing any rights under the Subsidiary Guarantee. No amendment or modification of the Subsidiary Guarantee may be made without the prior written consent of each Guarantor. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the obligations of the each Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guarantee shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantee subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code) or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law.

Section 10.2 Waiver of Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by a Guarantor hereunder, or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, such Guarantor shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders against the Borrower or against any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek any reimbursement from the Borrower in respect of payments made by the Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by the Borrower are paid in full.

Section 10.3 Amendments, etc. with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against such Guarantor, and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be rescinded by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, and any of the Guaranteed Obligations continued, and the Guaranteed Obligations, or the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and this Agreement, and any Note and any other document in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as any Lender may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released.

Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon this Subsidiary Guarantee or acceptance of this Subsidiary Guarantee; the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Subsidiary Guarantee; and all dealings between the Borrower and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as applicable, on the other, shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Subsidiary Guarantee. Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrower, such Guarantor or any other Guarantor with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations. This Subsidiary Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to, and each Guarantor hereby expressly waives any defenses to its obligations hereunder based upon (a) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Note, any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Guaranteed

Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document, including any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise, (c) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower against the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or (d) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower or any Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower for the Guaranteed Obligations, or of any Guarantor under this Subsidiary Guarantee, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent and each Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower or any such other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security, or guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve the Guarantor of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders against each Guarantor.

Section 10.5 Reinstatement.

(c) No present or future holder of Senior Obligations shall be prejudiced in its right to enforce subordination of Payee by any act or failure to act on the part of any Subordinated Obligor whether or not such act or failure shall give rise to any right of rescission or other claim or cause of action on the part of Payee.
