ARTICLE 2

AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF COMMITMENTS AND TERM LOANS

Section 2.01. Commitments.

(a) Term Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Borrower herein set forth, each Lender hereby severally agrees to make a Term Loan to the Borrower on the Funding Date in an amount equal to the amount of the Commitment of such Lender. The Term Loans that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. The Commitment of each Lender shall be automatically and permanently terminated on the earlier of (i) the Funding Date upon and after giving effect to the making by such Lender of its Term Loan and (ii) the Delayed Draw Expiration Date.

(b) Notice of Borrowing. The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Borrowing (which may be telephonic, confirmed promptly in writing) no later than 10:30 A.M. (New York City time) (x) in the case of a Base Rate Loan, on the proposed Funding Date and (y) in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Loan, three Business Days in advance of the proposed Funding Date. The Notice of Borrowing shall specify (i) the proposed Funding Date (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the amount of the proposed Term Loans, (iii) whether the Term Loans are to consist of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans or a combination thereof and the amounts thereof, and (iv) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Interest Period therefor.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to the Borrower in acting upon any telephonic notice referred to above which the Administrative Agent believes in good faith to have been given by a duly authorized officer or other person authorized to borrow on behalf of the Borrower or for otherwise acting in good faith under this Section 2.01(b) and, upon funding of Term Loans by the Lenders in accordance with this Agreement pursuant to any telephonic notice, the Borrower shall have borrowed the Term Loans hereunder.

Except as provided in Sections 2.01(c) and 2.09(d), a Notice of Borrowing for a Eurodollar Rate Loan (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and the Borrower shall be bound to make a borrowing in accordance therewith.

(c) Disbursement of Funds. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.01(b) (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) with respect to the Term Loans, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed borrowing. Each Lender shall make its pro rata Share of the amount of the Term Loans available to the Administrative Agent in same day funds not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the Funding Date. The Term Loan of a Lender shall be equal to such Lender’s pro rata Share of the aggregate amount of all Term Loans requested by the Borrower pursuant to the applicable Notice of Borrowing. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified in Section 3.01 the Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of the Term Loans available to the Borrower by causing an amount of funds equal to the proceeds of all Term Loans received by the Administrative Agent to be credited to an account in New York City designated by the Borrower in same day funds.

Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender (which notice may be telephonic, confirmed promptly in writing) prior to the Funding Date (or, in the case of Base Rate Loans, not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the Funding Date) in respect of the Term Loans that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such pro rata Share of the Term Loans on the Funding Date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on the Funding Date and the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount on the Funding Date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on prompt demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the Funding Date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent at the customary rate set by the Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among Lenders for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. Nothing in this Section 2.01(c) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

Section 2.02. Notices of Conversion/Continuation. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.09 hereof, the Borrower shall have the option (i) to convert at any time all or any part of the outstanding Base Rate Loans in an aggregate minimum amount of $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount, to Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans, to continue all or any portion of such Eurodollar Rate Loans in an aggregate minimum amount of $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount, as Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert all or any portion of such Eurodollar Rate Loans in an aggregate minimum amount of $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount, to Base Rate Loans. The succeeding Interest Period(s) of such converted or continued Eurodollar Rate Loan shall commence on the date of conversion in the case of clause (i) above and on the last day of the Interest Period of the Eurodollar Rate Loans to be continued in the case of clause (ii) above.

The Borrower shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to the Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date. A Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall specify (i) the proposed

conversion/continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the amount of the Term Loan to be converted/continued, (iii) the nature of the proposed conversion/continuation and (iv) the requested Interest Period.

Except as provided in Section 2.09(d) hereof, a Notice of Conversion/Continuation for conversion to, or continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be irrevocable on or after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and the Borrower shall be bound to convert or continue in accordance therewith.

(b) Unless the Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent (x) a timely Notice of Conversion/Continuation in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02(a) hereof with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans outstanding or (y) written notice of its intent to prepay Eurodollar Rate Loans, furnished not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the last day of the Interest Period with respect to such Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that such Eurodollar Rate Loans be continued for an additional Interest Period of one month.

Section 2.03. Registry. (a) The Administrative Agent shall maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the Commitment of each Lender, the Term Loan made by such Lender and each repayment of the Term Loan made by such Lender. Any such recordation by the Administrative Agent on the Register shall constitute prima facie evidence thereof, absent manifest error. Each Lender shall record on its internal records (including computerized systems) the foregoing information as to its own Commitment and Term Loan. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations hereunder in respect of the Term Loans.

(b) The Borrower hereby agrees that, upon the request of the Administrative Agent if so instructed by any Lender at any time, such Lender’s Term Loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (a “Note”). The Note issued to each Lender pursuant to this Section 2.03(b) shall (i) be payable to such Lender and its registered assigns, (ii) be payable in the principal amount of the outstanding Term Loan evidenced thereby, (iii) provide that the Term Loan then outstanding shall be repaid on the date as provided herein, (iv) bear interest as provided in the appropriate clause of Section 2.05 hereof and (v) be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.

Section 2.04. Pro Rata Borrowings. The Terms Loans comprising the Borrowing under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders simultaneously and each Lender’s Term Loan shall be equal to such Lender’s pro rata Share of the Borrowing. It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligation to make a Term Loan hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Term Loan provided to be made by it hereunder subject to the terms hereof, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitment to make its Term Loan hereunder.

Section 2.05. Interest. (a) Rate of Interest on Term Loans.

The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of the Term Loans made to it from and including the Funding Date to but not including the Maturity Date.

(i) Each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof for the applicable Interest Period at an interest rate per annum equal to the sum of the Eurodollar Margin plus the applicable Eurodollar Rate.

(ii) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof at an interest rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate Margin plus the applicable Base Rate.

The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Term Loans hereunder in accordance with this Section 2.05(a) and Section 2.09(a). The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and Lenders of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(b) Interest Periods. In connection with each Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Borrower shall elect an interest period (each an “Interest Period”) to be applicable to such Term Loan, which shall be either a one, two, three or six month period; provided that:

(i) the Interest Period for each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall commence on the date of such Term Loan;

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

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

(iv) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Maturity Date; and

(v) there shall be no more than 10 Interest Periods outstanding at any time.

(c) Interest Payments. Interest shall be payable on each Term Loan in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable to that Term Loan, upon any prepayment of that Term Loan (to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid) and when due and payable (whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise).

(d) Computation of Interest. Interest on Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues and interest on Base Rate Loans shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Term Loan, the date of the making of the Term Loan or, in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the first day of an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be included and the date of payment or the expiration of an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided that if a Term Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid on that Term Loan.

(e) Post-Maturity Interest. Any principal payments on the Term Loans not paid when due and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest, fee or other amount not paid when due, in each case whether at stated maturity, by notice of prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise, shall thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the higher of (i) the rate of interest applicable to such Term Loans or (ii) the rate of interest otherwise payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans.

Section 2.06. Certain Fees.

(a) Undrawn Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders an undrawn commitment fee in Dollars at the Undrawn Commitment Fee Rate

accrued from and including the Effective Date to but not including the earlier of (x) the Funding Date and (y) the Delayed Draw Expiration Date, on the daily average aggregate amount of the Commitments during such period. Such fee shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed, and shall be paid on the earlier of the (x) Funding Date and (y) the Delayed Draw Expiration Date. From the effective date of any termination or reduction of Commitments, such fee shall cease to accrue or be correspondingly reduced. If the Commitments are terminated in their entirety or reduced, undrawn commitment fees accrued on the Total Commitments, or accrued on the aggregate amount of the reduction of the Commitments (in the case of such a reduction), shall be payable on the effective date of such termination or reduction.

(b) Administrative Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent an annual fee (the “Administrative Fee”) in Dollars in an amount equal to the amount previously agreed to in writing by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Such Administrative Fee shall be payable quarterly in advance commencing on the date of this Agreement and on each successive quarterly anniversary of such date, so long as the Term Loans or Commitments are outstanding on such date; provided that if the Borrower prepay the Term Loans in their entirety pursuant to Section 2.09(a) prior to the Maturity Date, a pro rata portion of the Administrative Fee relating to the period from the Maturity Date to the end of the applicable quarter shall be refundable.

(c) Time of Payment. The Borrower shall make payment of each Lender’s undrawn commitment fee and of the Administrative Agent’s Administrative Fee hereunder, not later than Noon (New York City time) on the date when due in Dollars and in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent.

Section 2.07. Repayments and Payments; Reductions in Commitments.

(a) Repayment of Loans. The Term Loans shall be repaid (i) in consecutive quarterly installments payable by the Borrower on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on the first such quarterly date following the second anniversary of the Funding Date and prior to the Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount on each such date equal to 5% of the initial aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans made on the Funding Date (subject to adjustment in accordance with clause (b) below) and (ii) on the Maturity Date, in the amount of all remaining unpaid principal amount of all Term Loans.

(b) Voluntary Prepayments. Subject, in the case of any Eurodollar Rate Loan, to Section 2.09(e), the Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Term Loans in whole at any time or in part from time to time without premium or penalty in an aggregate minimum amount of $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount or, if less, the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans. The Borrower shall give notice (by telex or telecopier, or by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter)) (which shall be irrevocable) to the Administrative Agent and each Lender of each proposed prepayment hereunder, (x) with respect to Base Rate Loans, not later than 10:30 A.M. (New York City time) on the Business Day preceding the day of the proposed repayment and (y) with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, at least three Business Days prior to the day of the proposed prepayment, and in each case shall specify the proposed prepayment date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of the proposed prepayment.

Whenever any payment with respect to the Term Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable at the applicable rate during such extension; provided, however, that with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, if the next succeeding Business Day falls in another calendar month, such payments shall be made on the next preceding Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall remit to each Lender its pro rata Share of all such payments received in collected funds by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender in respect of which such payment is made.

(e) Order of Payment. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all payments made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (other than any fee or indemnification payments not specifically designated under the terms of this Agreement as being for the benefit of the Lenders) shall be applied by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of each Lender based on its pro rata Share, (i) first, to the payment of expenses referred to in Section 9.02 hereof, (ii) second, to the payment of the fees referred to in Section 2.06 hereof, (iii) third, to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on such Lender’s Base Rate Loans until all such accrued interest has been paid, (iv) fourth, to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans until all such accrued interest has been paid, (v) fifth, to the payment of the unpaid principal amount of such Lender’s Base Rate Loans, and (vi) sixth, to the payment of the unpaid principal amount of such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans.

Section 2.08. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Term Loans made by the Lenders may be used for general corporate purposes of the Borrower.

Section 2.09. Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the following provisions shall govern with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans as to the matters covered:

(a) Determination of Interest Rate. As soon as practicable on an Interest Rate Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate which shall apply to the Eurodollar Rate

Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to each Lender.

(b) Substituted Rate of Borrowing. In the event that on any Interest Rate Determination Date any Lender (including the Administrative Agent) shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties but, with respect to the following clauses (i) and (ii)(B), shall be made only after consultation with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) that:

(i) by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the Eurodollar market or affecting the position of that Lender in such market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate by reference to the Eurodollar Rate with respect to the Eurodollar Rate Loans as to which an interest rate determination is then being made; or

(ii) by reason of (A) any change (including any changes proposed or published prior to the date hereof) after the date hereof in any applicable law or any governmental rule, regulation or order (or any interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation or order (including any thereof proposed or published, prior to the date hereof)) or (B) other circumstances affecting that Lender or the Eurodollar market or the position of that Lender in such market (such as, for example, but not limited to, official reserve requirements required by Regulation D to the extent not compensated pursuant to Section 2.11), the Eurodollar Rate shall not represent the effective pricing to that Lender for deposits in the applicable currency of comparable amounts for the relevant period;

then, and in any such event, that Lender shall be an Affected Lender and it shall promptly (and in any event as soon as possible after being notified of the Borrowing) give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender) of such determination. Thereafter, the Borrower shall pay to the Affected Lender with respect to such Eurodollar Rate Loans, upon written demand therefor, but only if such demand is made within 30 days of the end of the Interest Period for such Interest Rate Determination Date, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as the Affected Lender in its sole discretion shall reasonably determine) as shall be required to cause the Affected Lender to receive interest with respect to such Affected Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans for the Interest Period following that Interest Rate Determination Date (such Interest Period being an “Affected Interest Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Margin in excess of the effective pricing to the Affected Lender for deposits in Dollars to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans. A certificate as to additional amounts owed the Affected Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted in good faith to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by the Affected Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.

(c) Required Termination and Prepayment. In the event that on any date any Lender shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties) that the making or continuation of its Eurodollar Rate Loans (i) has become unlawful by, or would be inconsistent with, compliance by that Lender in good faith with any law, governmental rule, regulation or order (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful), or (ii) has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the date of this Agreement which materially and adversely affects the Eurodollar market, then, and in any such event, that Lender shall be an Affected Lender and it shall promptly give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which notice the Administrative Agent shall

promptly transmit to each Lender) of that determination. Subject to the prior withdrawal of a Notice of Borrowing or prepayment of the Eurodollar Rate Loans of the Affected Lender as contemplated by the following Section 2.09(d) hereof, the obligation of the Affected Lender to make Eurodollar Rate Loans during any such period shall be terminated at the earlier of the termination of the Interest Period then in effect or when required by law and the Borrower shall no later than the termination of the Interest Period in effect at the time any such determination pursuant to this Section 2.09(c) is made or earlier, when required by law, repay Eurodollar Rate Loans of the Affected Lender together with all interest accrued thereon.

(d) Options of the Borrower. In lieu of paying an Affected Lender such additional moneys as are required by Section 2.09(b), 2.09(h), 2.10 or 2.11 hereof or the prepayment of an Affected Lender required by Section 2.09(c), hereof but in no event in derogation of Section 2.09(e) hereof, the Borrower may exercise any one of the following options:

(i) If the determination by an Affected Lender relates only to Eurodollar Rate Loans then being requested by the Borrower pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the Borrower may by giving notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly give similar notice to each Lender) no later than the date immediately prior to the date on which such Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be made, continued or converted withdraw as to the Affected Lender that Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, as the case may be; or

(ii) Upon written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, the Borrower may terminate the obligations of the Lenders to make Term Loans as, and to convert Term Loans into, Eurodollar Rate Loans and in such event, the Borrower shall, prior to the time any payment pursuant to Section 2.09(c) hereof is required to be made or, if the provisions of Section 2.09(d) hereof are applicable, at the end of the then current Interest Period, convert all of such Eurodollar Rate Loans into Base Rate Loans; or

(iii) The Borrower may give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Affected Lender and the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly give similar notice to each Lender) and require the Affected Lender to make the Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested as a Base Rate Loan or to continue to maintain its outstanding Base Rate Loan then the subject of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation as a Base Rate Loan or to convert its Eurodollar Rate Loan then outstanding that is so affected into a Base Rate Loan at the end of the then current Interest Period (or at such earlier time as prepayment is otherwise required to be made pursuant to Section 2.09(c) hereof), that notice to pertain only to the Term Loan of the Affected Lender and to have no effect on the obligations of the other Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(e) Compensation. The Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by that Lender (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amounts), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any interest paid by that Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Eurodollar Rate Loans and any loss (other than loss of margins) sustained by that Lender in connection with the re-employment of such funds), which that Lender may sustain with respect to its Eurodollar Rate Loans if for any reason (other than a default or error by that Lender) (i) a borrowing of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation or a telephonic request for borrowing, (ii) any repayment or conversion of any of such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable to that Eurodollar Rate Loan, (iii) any repayment of any such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of

repayment given by the Borrower, or (iv) as a consequence of any other failure by the Borrower to repay such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement.

(f) Affected Lender’s Obligation to Mitigate. Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after it becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause it to be an Affected Lender under Section 2.09(b) or 2.09(c) hereof, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with such Lender’s internal policies, use reasonable efforts to make, fund or maintain the affected Term Loan of such Lender through another Applicable Lending Office if as a result thereof the additional moneys which would otherwise be required to be paid in respect of such Loans pursuant to Section 2.09(b) hereof would be materially reduced or the illegality or other adverse circumstances which would otherwise require prepayment of such Term Loan pursuant to Section 2.09(c) hereof would cease to exist and if, as determined by such Lender, in its sole discretion, the making, funding or maintaining of such Term Loan through such other Applicable Lending Office would not otherwise materially adversely affect such Term Loan or such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable expenses incurred by any Lender in utilizing another Applicable Lending Office pursuant to this Section 2.09(f).

(g) Booking of Term Loans. Each Term Loan shall be booked by the Lender making such Term Loan at, to, or for the account of, its Applicable Lending Office for such Term Loan.

(h) Increased Costs. Except as provided in Section 2.09(b) or with respect to Taxes or Domestic Taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment made by the Borrower under this Agreement or any Note, which shall be governed by Section 2.13, if, by reason of (x) after the date hereof, the introduction of or any change (including, without limitation, any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation (whether or not proposed or published prior to the date hereof), or (y) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority or quasi governmental authority exercising control over banks or financial institutions generally (whether or not having the force of law):

(i) any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) shall be subject to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to its Eurodollar Rate Loans or its obligation to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(ii) any reserve (including, without limitation, any imposed by the Board), special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit (including participations therein) extended by, any Lender’s Applicable Lending Office shall be imposed or deemed applicable or any other condition affecting its Eurodollar Rate Loans or its obligation to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be imposed on any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office or the interbank Eurodollar market;

and as a result thereof there shall be any increase in the cost to that Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining, continuing or converting to Eurodollar Rate Loans (except to the extent such Lender is entitled to compensation therefor during the relevant Interest Period pursuant to Section 2.07(e) or Section 2.11), or there shall be a reduction in the amount received or receivable by that Lender or its Applicable Lending Office, then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon written notice from and demand by that Lender (which shall be promptly furnished upon the Lenders being made subject thereto) (with a copy of such notice and demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of that Lender, within five Business Days after the date specified in such notice and demand, additional amounts sufficient to indemnify that Lender against such increased cost. A certificate as to the basis for and calculation of the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by that Lender, shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.

(i) Certain Requirements. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for purposes of this Agreement, (x) the Xxxx Xxxxx Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and all requests, rules, guidelines and directives promulgated thereunder and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall be deemed to have been adopted after the date hereof, regardless of the date enacted or adopted.

(j) Assumption Concerning Funding of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 2.09 in respect of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be made as though that Lender had actually funded its Eurodollar Rate Loan through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit, bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan in an amount equal to the amount of the Eurodollar Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of such Eurodollar deposit, from an offshore office of that Lender to a domestic office of that Lender in the United States of America; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its Eurodollar Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculations of amounts payable under this Section 2.09.

(k) Eurodollar Rate Loans After Default. After the occurrence of and during the continuance of a Potential Event of Default or an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, upon the request of the Required Lenders, prohibit Term Loans from being converted into or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans.

Section 2.10. Capital Requirements. If while any portion of the Total Commitment is in effect or any Term Loans are outstanding, any Lender determines that the adoption of any law, treaty, rule, regulation, guideline or order regarding capital adequacy or capital maintenance or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Lender, with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or capital maintenance (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not the failure to comply therewith would be unlawful) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required to be maintained by such Lender or by any corporation controlling such Lender (including, without limitation, with respect to any Lender’s Commitment), then the Borrower shall from time to time, within 15 days of written notice and demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Lender or such corporation controlling such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such corporation controlling such Lender for the cost of such additional required capital, to the extent such Lender or such corporation controlling such Lender determines such increase to be attributable to the existence, issuance or maintenance of such Term Loan or obligations for the account of the Borrower. A certificate showing in reasonable detail the computations made in arriving at such cost, submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.

Section 2.11. Regulation D Compensation. If and so long as a reserve requirement of the type described in the definition of “Eurodollar Reserve Percentage” is prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor), each Lender subject to such requirement may require the Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans additional interest on such Eurodollar Loan at a rate per annum determined by such Lender up to but not exceeding the excess of (a) (i) the applicable Eurodollar Rate divided by (ii) one minus the Eurodollar Reserve Percentage over (b) the applicable Eurodollar Rate. Any Lender wishing to require payment of such additional interest (x) shall so notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in

which case such additional interest on the Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall be payable to such Lender at the place indicated in such notice with respect to each Interest Period commencing at least three Business Days after such Lender gives such notice and (y) shall notify the Borrower at least five Business Days before each date on which interest is payable on the Eurodollar Loans of the amount then due it under this Section.

Section 2.12. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) Fees shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.06(a).

(b) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.01 or Section 8.04, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender under this Agreement for the benefit of the Administrative Agent to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

Section 2.13. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, (i) in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on or measured by its income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof, (ii) in the case of each Lender, taxes imposed on or measured by its income, and franchise or similar taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof, and (iii) taxes resulting from FATCA (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as its “Taxes”, and all such excluded taxes being hereinafter referred to as its “Domestic Taxes”). If the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (the “Withholding Agent”) shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.13) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Withholding Agent shall make such deductions, (iii) such Withholding Agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) if the Withholding Agent is the Borrower, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.07, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Note or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.13) paid or payable by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto; provided, the Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify any party hereunder pursuant to this Section for penalties, interest or similar liabilities arising therefrom or with respect thereto to the extent such penalties, interest or similar liabilities are attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct by such party. In addition, the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for all Domestic Taxes and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case to the extent that such Domestic Taxes result from any payment or indemnification pursuant to this Section for (i) Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction other than the United States or (ii) Domestic Taxes of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be. This indemnification shall be made within 15 days from the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes demand therefor.

(d) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made hereunder or under any Note 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 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 any withholding (including backup withholding) or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.13, (f), (g) and (h) 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 (and the Borrower has not elected to reimburse such cost or expense) or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(e) Without limiting the foregoing, at the times indicated herein, each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN, W-8IMY (accompanied by a form W-8ECI, X-0XXX, X-0 and other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable) or W-8ECI (in each case accompanied by any statements which may be required under applicable Treasury regulations), as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement (i) without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes or (ii) subject to a reduced rate of United States federal withholding tax, unless, in each case of clause (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.13(e), an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders such forms inapplicable or which would prevent the Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and the Lender advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of such taxes. Such forms shall be provided (x) on or prior to the date of the Lender’s execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof, and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and (y) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form so delivered by the Lender. If the form provided by a Lender at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, United States withholding tax at such rate shall be considered

excluded from “Taxes” as defined in Section 2.13(a) and shall not be subject to indemnification pursuant to Section 2.13(c), unless the assignor of such Lender was entitled, at the time of such assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such withholding taxes pursuant to Section 2.13(a). In addition, to the extent that for reasons other than a change of treaty, law or regulation any Lender becomes subject to an increased rate of United States interest withholding tax while it is a party to this Agreement, United States withholding tax at such increased rate shall be considered excluded from “Taxes” as defined in Section 2.13(a).

(f) Any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code 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 request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of Internal Revenue Service form W-9 certifying, to the extent such Lender is legally entitled to do so, that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax.

(g) If a payment made to a Lender hereunder or under any Note 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 or the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for the purposes of this Section 2.13(g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement, whether or not included in the definition of FATCA.

(h) 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.

(i) For any period with respect to which a Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form in accordance with Section 2.13(e) (unless such failure is excused by the terms of Section 2.13(e)), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 2.13(a) or Section 2.13(c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however, that should a Lender, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.

(j) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for any Taxes and Domestic Taxes (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and Domestic Taxes and without limiting the obligation, if any, of the Borrower to do so), in each case attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement or any Note, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 15 days from the date the Administrative Agent makes demand therefor.

(k) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.13 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations under this Agreement or any Note.

(l) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay over such refund to Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses with respect to such refund of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

No part of the Term Loans will be used or made available, directly or indirectly, in connection with any investment in, or any transactions or dealings with, any Prohibited Person where such investments, transactions or dealings would reasonably be expected to cause the making, holding or receipt of any payment or exercise of any rights in respect of the Term Loan made by any Lender to violate any OFAC administered sanctions program applicable to such Lender, or for the purpose of financing the activities of, transactions with or acquiring an interest in any OFAC Listed Person, except to the extent licensed or otherwise approved by OFAC.

Any Lender may furnish any information concerning the Borrower in possession of such Lender from time to time to Affiliates of such Lender and to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants), provided, however, that (i) except when such information is furnished to an Affiliate, the furnishing Lender shall give the Borrower prior notice of any furnishing of non public information (ii) the recipient shall agree to the terms of this Section 9.01 hereof and (iii) the furnishing of such information (and the nature, manner and extent thereof) by any Lender to its Affiliates and such assignees and participants shall be further governed by the relevant agreement, assignment or participation agreement relating to such arrangement, assignment or participation, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, (A) any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the

Administrative Agent, assign any of its rights and interests in Term Loans hereunder to (x) a federal reserve bank, (y) another Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) or (z) any Affiliate of such Lender; (B) no consent of the Borrower to an assignment shall be required if at the time an Event of Default exists; (C) the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment unless the Borrower shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within fifteen Business Days after having received notice thereof, and (D) no assignment may be made to (x) the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or (y) to a natural person.

(d) Except pursuant to an assignment permitted by this Agreement but only to the extent set forth in such assignment, no Lender shall, as between the Borrower and that Lender, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any sale, transfer or negotiation of, or granting of participations in, all or any part of the Term Loan or Commitment of at the time owing to that Lender or other obligations owed to such Lender.

(e) Subject to Section 9.01(c), any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Lenders or other financial institutions all, or a proportionate part of all, of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that (i) the minimum amount of such assignment shall be equivalent to (A) if the Purchasing Lender is not a Lender hereunder, $10,000,000 or the aggregate amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment (or if the Funding Date has occurred, of the outstanding principal amount of the assigning Lender’s Term Loan), whichever is less and (B) if the Purchasing Lender is a Lender hereunder, $5,000,000 or the aggregate amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment (or if the Funding Date has occurred, of the outstanding principal amount of the assigning Lender’s Term Loan), whichever is less and (ii) after giving effect to such assignment, the Commitment of the assigning Lender (or if the Funding Date has occurred, the outstanding principal amount of the assigning Lender’s Term Loan) is equivalent to not less than $10,000,000, unless such assigning Lender shall have assigned all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any assignment made pursuant to Section 9.01(c) hereof shall be made pursuant to a Transfer Supplement, substantially in the form of Exhibit G annexed hereto, executed by the Purchasing Lender, the transferor Lender, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Upon (i) such execution of such Transfer Supplement, (ii) delivery of an executed copy thereof to the Borrower, (iii) payment by such Purchasing Lender to such transferor Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender and such Purchasing Lender, and (iv) payment by such Purchasing Lender or transferor Lender (as they shall mutually agree) to the Administrative Agent of a non refundable fee of $3,500 to cover administrative and other expenses which may be incurred in connection with such assignment, such Purchasing Lender shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and shall have the rights (including without limitation the benefits of Sections 2.09 and 2.10) and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto and thereto with the pro rata Share of the applicable Commitment (or if the Funding Date has occurred, of the applicable Term Loan) set forth in such Transfer Supplement, and no further consent or action by the Borrower, the Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall be required. Such Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of pro rata Shares 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 and the Term Loans. Upon the consummation of any transfer to a Purchasing Lender pursuant to this paragraph (e), the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if requested, a replacement Note is issued to such transferor Lender and a new Note or, as appropriate, a replacement Note, if requested, issued to such Purchasing Lender, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their pro rata Shares or, as appropriate, their outstanding Term Loan, as adjusted pursuant to such Transfer Supplement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither the Borrower nor any of its Affiliates nor any Defaulting Lender may be a Purchasing Lender.

(f) 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 Term Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan 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 clearly demonstrable 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.

Section 9.02. Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, the Borrower agrees to promptly pay (a) all the actual and reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses of the Agents in connection with the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement; (b) the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of Xxxxx, Xxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP, special counsel to the Agents, in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and administration of this Agreement, the Term Loans and any amendments and waivers hereto or thereto; and (c) all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements, and costs of settlement) incurred by the Lenders in enforcing any obligations of or in collecting any payments due from the Borrower hereunder by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings or otherwise.

Section 9.03. Indemnity. In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 9.02 hereof, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, the Borrower agrees to indemnify, pay and hold each Agent and each Lender and the officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and affiliates of each of them (collectively called the “Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto), which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against that Indemnitee, in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Lenders’ agreement to make the Term Loans or the use or intended use of the proceeds of any of the Term Loans hereunder (the “indemnified liabilities”); provided that, the Borrower shall have no obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder to the extent that such indemnified liabilities are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy or otherwise, the Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and satisfaction of all indemnified liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them.

Section 9.04. Setoff. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then due with respect to the Term Loan held by it which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then due with respect to the Term Loan held by such other Lender, the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such participations in the Term Loans held by the other Lenders, and such other adjustments

shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments of principal and interest with respect to the Term Loans held by the Lenders shall be shared by the Lenders pro rata; provided that nothing in this Section shall impair the right of any Lender to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of the Borrower other than its indebtedness under the Agreement. The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of a participation in a Term Loan, whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing arrangements, may exercise rights of set-off or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 9.05. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any Note or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of the Required Lenders; provided that (a) any amendment, modification, termination or waiver (i) of any provision that expressly requires the approval or concurrence of all Lenders, (ii) of any provision that affects the definition of “Required Lenders”, (iii) of any of the provisions contained in Section 7.01 hereof and this Section 9.05 or (iv) of any of the pro rata requirements of Section 2.04, Section 2.06, Section 2.07 or Section 9.04, shall be effective only if evidenced by a writing signed by or on behalf of all Lenders, and (b) any amendment, modification, termination or waiver (i) of any provision that increases the principal amount of the Commitments or the Term Loans, changes a Lender’s pro rata Share or affects the definition of “Maturity Date”, (ii) that decreases the amount or changes the due date of any amount payable in respect of the fees payable hereunder, (iii) of any of the provisions contained in Sections 2.09(b) and 2.09(c) hereof or (iv) that decreases the principal of or interest rates borne by the Term Loans or any interest thereon, or postpones the payment of principal or interest due on the Term Loans, shall be effective only if evidenced by a writing signed by or on behalf of each Lender affected thereby; provided that no consent of any Defaulting Lender shall be required pursuant to clause (a) above as to any modification that does not adversely affect such Defaulting Lender in a non-ratable manner. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of Article 8 hereof or any of the rights, duties, indemnities or obligations of any Agent, as agent shall be effective without the written concurrence of such Agent. The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of that Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 9.05 shall be binding upon each present or future Lender and, if signed by the Borrower, on the Borrower.

Section 9.06. Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the limitation of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

Section 9.07. Notices. Unless otherwise provided herein, any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and may be personally served, telecopied, telexed or sent by United States mail and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person, upon receipt of telecopy or telex or four Business Days after depositing it in the United States mail, registered or certified, with postage prepaid and properly addressed; provided that notices to the Administrative Agent shall not be effective until received by the Administrative Agent. For the purposes hereof, the addresses of the parties hereto (until notice of a change thereof is delivered as provided in this Section 9.07) shall be: (a) in the case of the Borrower, at its address or facsimile number set forth on the

signature pages hereof, (b) in the case of the Administrative Agent, at its address, facsimile number or telex number in New York City set forth on the signature pages hereof, (c) in the case of any Lender, at its address, facsimile number or telex number set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire or (d) in the case of any party, at such other address, facsimile number or telex number as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

Section 9.08. Survival of Warranties and Certain Agreements. (a) All agreements, representations and warranties made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Term Loans hereunder.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of the Borrower set forth in Sections 2.09(e), 2.09(h), 2.13, 9.02 and 9.03 and the agreements of Lenders set forth in Sections 8.02(c), 8.04, 9.04 and 9.05 shall survive the payment of the Term Loans and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 9.09. USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the USA PATRIOT Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it may be 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 or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.

Section 9.10. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or the Term Loans shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement or the Term Loans are cumulative to and not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise available.

Section 9.11. Severability. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement or Term Loan shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations thereof, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 9.12. Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. The obligation of each Lender hereunder is several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligation or commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained in this Agreement and no action taken by the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders to be a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

Section 9.13. Headings. Section and subsection headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

Section 9.14. Applicable Law, Consent to Jurisdiction, Limitation of Liability.

(a) THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES AND THE TERM LOANS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES).

(b) ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST THE BORROWER WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE NOTES MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT THE BORROWER ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS, AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY, AND THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH RESPECTIVE JURISDICTIONS.

(c) No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages to the Borrower arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent the liability of such person is found in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 9.15. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto (and Indemnitees) and the successors and assigns of the Lenders. The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of any assignee or transferee of the Term Loans and in the event of such transfer or assignment, the rights and privileges herein conferred upon the Lenders shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions hereof. The Borrower’s rights hereunder may not be assigned without the written consent of all the Lenders except pursuant to a merger, consolidation or sale, lease or transfer of assets permitted by Section 6.01 hereof. The Lenders’ rights of assignment are limited by and subject to Section 9.01 hereof. The Borrower may, in its sole discretion, upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice, prior to the Funding Date, replace any of the Lenders with one or more Lenders provided that (i) the Lender being replaced has concurrently therewith been paid in full all amounts due to such Lender hereunder, (ii) the full amount of the Commitments remains unchanged and (iii) the percentages of the total Commitments allocated to each other Lender (or any successors thereto) remains unchanged unless the prior written consent from such Lender has been obtained. Any such Lender so replaced shall, upon written request of the Borrower, execute and deliver such instruments and agreements as are reasonably necessary to accomplish the same.

Section 9.16. Counterparts; Effectiveness; Integration. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective on such date (the “Effective Date”) as (i) a counterpart hereof shall be executed by each of the parties hereto and copies hereof shall be delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and (ii) the conditions set forth in Section 3.01 shall be satisfied. This Agreement and the Notes (and, as applicable, the fee letters entered into in connection herewith) constitute the entire

contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

Section 9.17. No Fiduciary Duty. The Borrower agrees that in connection with all aspects of the Term Loans contemplated by this Agreement and any communications in connection therewith, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Agents, the Lenders and their Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of any Agent, Lender or Affiliate, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications.

Re: Textron Inc. – Term Credit Agreement dated as of January 24, 2014

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Textron Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) in connection with the Term Credit Agreement dated as of January 24, 2014 (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, certain lenders (the “Lenders”), and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as agent (in such capacity the “Agent”) and a Lender. Each capitalized term used and not defined herein has the meaning assigned to that term in the Credit Agreement.

In rendering this opinion, we have examined the original or a copy, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction as being a true copy, of the Credit Agreement, including the Exhibits and Schedules thereto.

We have assumed without independent investigation that:

(a) The signatures on all documents examined by us are genuine, all individuals executing such documents had all requisite legal capacity and competency and were duly authorized, the documents submitted to us as originals are authentic and the documents submitted to us as certified or reproduction copies conform to the originals;

(b) (1) The Company is a validly existing corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power to execute and deliver the Credit Agreement and to perform its obligations thereunder, (2) the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement by the Company and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and except as specifically addressed in our opinions in paragraph 2 below, do not violate any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree applicable to the Company, and (3) the Credit Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company; and

(c) There are no agreements or understandings between or among any of the parties to the Credit Agreement or third parties that would expand, modify or otherwise affect the terms of the Credit Agreement or the respective rights or obligations of the parties thereunder.

In rendering this opinion, we have made such inquiries and examined, among other things, originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such records, agreements, certificates, instruments and other documents as we have considered necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion. As to certain factual matters, we have relied to the extent we deemed appropriate and without independent investigation upon the representations and warranties of the Company in the Credit Agreement, a certificate of an officer of the Company, a copy of which is attached hereto, or certificates obtained from public officials and others.

Based upon the foregoing and in reliance thereon, and subject to the qualifications, exceptions, assumptions and limitations herein contained, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Credit Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

2. The execution and delivery by the Company of the Credit Agreement, and the performance of its obligations thereunder do not and will not violate, or require any filing with or approval of any governmental authority or regulatory body of the State of New York under, any law, rule or regulation of the State of New York applicable to the Company that, in our experience, is generally applicable to transactions in the nature of those contemplated by the Credit Agreement.

A-2

The opinions expressed above are subject to the following additional exceptions, qualifications, limitations and assumptions:

A. We render no opinion herein as to matters involving the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. This opinion is limited to the effect of the current state of the laws of the State of New York, and the facts as they currently exist. We assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion in the event of future changes in such laws or the interpretations thereof or such facts. We express no opinion regarding the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or any other federal or state securities laws, rules or regulations.

B. Our opinions are subject to (i) the effect of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, arrangement or similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally (including, without limitation, the effect of statutory or other laws regarding fraudulent transfers or preferential transfers) and (ii) general principles of equity, including without limitation concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

C. We express no opinion regarding (a) the effectiveness of (i) any waiver (whether or not stated as such) under the Credit Agreement of, or any consent thereunder relating to, unknown future rights or the rights of any party thereto existing, or duties owing to it, as a matter of law; (ii) any waiver (whether or not stated as such) contained in the Credit Agreement of rights of any party, or duties owing to it, that is broadly or vaguely stated or does not describe the right or duty purportedly waived with reasonable specificity; (iii) provisions relating to indemnification, exculpation or contribution, to the extent such provisions may be held unenforceable as contrary to public policy or federal or state securities laws or due to the negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnified party; (iv) any provision in the Credit Agreement waiving the right to object to venue in any court; (v) any agreement to submit to the jurisdiction of any Federal Court; (vi) any waiver of the right to jury trial; (vii) any provision purporting to establish evidentiary standards; (viii) any provision to the effect that every right or remedy is cumulative and may be exercised in addition to any other right or remedy or that the election of some particular remedy does not preclude recourse to one or more others; or (ix) any right of setoff to the extent asserted by a participant in the rights of a Lender under the Credit Agreement; or (b) the availability of damages or other remedies not specified in the Credit Agreement in respect of breach of any covenants (other than covenants relating to the payment of principal, interest, indemnities and expenses). In addition, we advise you that some of the provisions of the Credit Agreement may not be enforceable by a Lender acting individually (as opposed to the Lenders acting through the Agent).

A-3

This opinion is rendered as of the date hereof to the Lender Parties in connection with the Credit Agreement and may not be relied upon by any person other than the Lender Parties or by the Lender Parties in any other context. The Lender Parties may not furnish this opinion or copies hereof to any other person except (i) to bank examiners and other regulatory authorities should they so request in connection with their normal examinations, (ii) to the independent auditors and attorneys of the Lender Parties, (iii) pursuant to order or legal process of any court or governmental agency, (iv) in connection with any legal action to which any Lender Party is a party arising out of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement, or (v) to any potential permitted assignee of or participant in the interest of any Lender Party under the Credit Agreement for its information. This opinion may not be quoted without the prior written consent of this Firm. Notwithstanding the foregoing, parties referred to in clause (v) of this paragraph who become Lenders after the date hereof may rely on this opinion as if it were addressed to them (provided that such delivery shall not constitute a re-issue or reaffirmation of this opinion as of any date after the date hereof).

Re: Term Credit Agreement dated as of January 24, 2014 among Textron Inc., the Lenders named therein, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Citibank, N.A. and Bank of America, N.A., as Syndication Agents, and The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., as Documentation Agent

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am the Senior Associate General Counsel of Textron Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”). This opinion is rendered to you pursuant to Section 3.01(c) of the Term Credit Agreement dated as of January 24, 2014 (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Borrower, the Lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (“Agent”), Citibank, N.A. and Bank of America, N.A., as Syndication Agents, and The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., as Documentation Agent. The undersigned has prepared this opinion and delivered it to the Lenders for their benefit at the request of the Borrower. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

In my capacity as Senior Associate General Counsel I have examined originals, or copies identified to my satisfaction, of such records, documents or other instruments as in my judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable me to render the opinions expressed below. I am familiar, either directly or by inquiry of other officers or employees of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or others, and/or through examination of the Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ books and records, with the business, affairs and records of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries requisite to giving this opinion. Where and as this opinion states conclusions based upon the absence of facts, I have received in the course of my employment no contrary information and would expect to receive such information if an officer of the Borrower had notice thereof.

I have been furnished with, and have obtained and relied without independent investigation upon, such certificates and assurances from public officials as I have deemed necessary or appropriate. In my examinations, I have assumed (a) the genuineness of all signatures as to all parties other than the Borrower, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to them as copies or drafts and the authenticity of such originals of such latter documents, (b) as to all Persons other than the Borrower, the due completion, execution, acknowledgment as indicated thereon and delivery of documents recited herein and therein and the validity and enforceability against all parties thereto, and (c) that each Person other than the Borrower which is a party to the Credit Agreement has full power, authority and legal right, under its charter and other governing documents, corporate legislation and the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, to perform its respective obligations under the Credit Agreement.

I have investigated such questions of law for the purpose of rendering this opinion as I have deemed necessary. I am opining herein only as to the United States federal laws and the corporate laws of the State of Delaware.

On the basis of the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, and subject to the limitations, qualifications and exceptions set forth herein, I am of the opinion that:

1. The Borrower is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware. The Borrower has all requisite corporate power and authority to own and operate its properties, to carry on its business as now conducted and proposed to be conducted, to enter into the Credit Agreement and to carry out the transactions contemplated thereby.

2. The Borrower is in good standing wherever necessary to carry on its present business and operations, except in jurisdictions in which the failure to be in good standing has not had and will not have a Material Adverse Effect.

C-2

3. The execution, delivery and performance of the Credit Agreement and the borrowing of the Term Loans have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action by the Borrower.

4. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Credit Agreement and the borrowing of the Term Loans do not and will not (i) violate any provision of law applicable to the Borrower, except to the extent such violation would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) violate the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Amended and Restated By-laws, each, as amended, of the Borrower, (iii) to my knowledge (after inquiry), violate any order, judgment or decree of any court or other agency of government binding on the Borrower, except to the extent such violation would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any Contractual Obligation of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is filed as an exhibit to the most recent Form 10-K filed by the Borrower with the Securities and Exchange Commission, except to the extent such violation would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (v) result in or require the creation or imposition of any material Lien upon any of the material properties or assets of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under any such Contractual Obligation or (vi) require any approval of stockholders or any approval or consent of any Person under any such Contractual Obligation.

5. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Credit Agreement will not require any registration with, consent or approval of, or notice to, or other action to, with or by, any federal, state or other Governmental Authority or regulatory body other than any such registration, consent, approval, notice or other action which (i) has been or, with respect to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, will be duly made, given or taken or (ii) the failure to make, obtain, give or take would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

6. Except as disclosed in the Financial Statements delivered to the Lenders pursuant to Section 4.03 of the Credit Agreement, to my knowledge (after inquiry), there is no action, suit, proceeding, governmental investigation or arbitration (whether or not purportedly on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries) at law or in equity or before or by any federal, state, municipal or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency, court or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, pending or, to my knowledge threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which is probable of being successful and which would have Material Adverse Effect.

C-3

7. The Borrower is not subject to any federal or state statute or regulation limiting its ability to incur Indebtedness for money borrowed as contemplated by the Credit Agreement.

8. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock.

I am furnishing this opinion to you solely in connection with the entry by the Borrower into the Credit Agreement; the opinion is solely for your benefit and is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other purpose without my express permission.

Very truly yours,

Terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as therein defined.

We have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments and have conducted such other investigations of fact and law as we have deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of this opinion.

Upon the basis of the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

2. The Credit Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity.

We are members of the Bar of the State of New York and the foregoing opinion is limited to the laws of the State of New York, the federal laws of the United States of America and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. In giving the foregoing opinion, we express no opinion as to the effect (if any) of any law of any jurisdiction (except the State of New York) in which any Lender is located which limits the rate of interest that such Lender may charge or collect.

This opinion is rendered solely to you in connection with the above matter. This opinion may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose or relied upon by any other Person without our prior written consent.

Very truly yours,
