The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to charge accounts of the Borrower maintained with U.S. Bank for each payment of principal, interest, Reimbursement Obligations and fees as they becomes due hereunder. Each reference to the Administrative Agent in this Section 2.12 shall also be deemed to refer, and shall apply equally, to the LC Issuer, in the case of payments required to be made by the Borrowers to the LC Issuer pursuant to Section 2.19.6.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, if, after the making of any Advance in any currency other than Dollars, currency control or exchange regulations are imposed in the country which issues such currency with the result that the type of currency in which the Advance was made (the “Original Currency”) no longer exists or the Borrower of such Advance is not able to make payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders in such Original Currency, then all payments to be made by such Borrower hereunder in such currency shall instead be made when due in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount (as of the date of repayment) of such payment due, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the Borrowers take all risks of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulations.

2.13. Noteless Agreement; Evidence of Indebtedness.

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

(b) The Administrative Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Agreed Currency and Type thereof and the Interest Period with respect thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder, (iii) the original stated amount of each Facility LC and the amount of LC Obligations outstanding at any time, and (d) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrowers and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c) The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (i) and (ii) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms.

(d) Any Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a promissory note or, in the case of the Swing Line Lender, promissory notes representing its Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans, respectively, substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1 in the case of the Company or Exhibit E-2, in the case of any Foreign Borrower, with appropriate changes for notes evidencing Swing Line Loans (each a “Note”). In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare,

execute and deliver to such Lender such Note or Notes payable to the order of such Lender in a form supplied by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (prior to any assignment pursuant to Section 12.3) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the order of the payee named therein, except to the extent that any such Lender subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in clauses (b) (i) and (ii) above.

2.14. Telephonic Notices. The Borrowers hereby authorize the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections of Agreed Currencies and Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons the Administrative Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of a Borrower, it being understood that the foregoing authorization is specifically intended to allow Borrowing Notices and Conversion/Continuation Notices to be given telephonically. Each Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written confirmation (which may include e-mail) of each telephonic notice made by such Borrower authenticated by an Authorized Officer. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error. The parties agree to prepare appropriate documentation to correct any such error within 10 days after discovery by any party to this Agreement.

2.15. Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis. Interest accrued on each Base Rate Advance and each Swing Line Loan shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such Payment Date to occur after the Effective Date and at maturity. Interest accrued on each Eurocurrency Advance shall be payable on the last day of its applicable Interest Period, on any date on which the Eurocurrency Advance is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on each Eurocurrency Advance having an Interest Period longer than three months shall also be payable on the last day of each three-month interval during such Interest Period. Interest on all Advances and fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year, except that Interest at the Prime Rate shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365 or 366-day year, as the case may be. Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to 12:00 noon (local time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

2.16. Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Commitment Reductions. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each Aggregate Commitment reduction notice, Borrowing Notice, Swing Line Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice, and repayment notice received by it hereunder. Promptly after notice from the LC Issuer, the Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each request for issuance of a Facility LC hereunder. The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the currency and interest rate applicable to each Eurocurrency Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.

2.17. Lending Installations. Each Lender may book its Advances and its participation in any LC Obligations and the LC Issuer may book the Facility LCs at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Loans, Facility LCs, participations in LC Obligations and any Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, for the benefit of any such Lending Installation. Each Lender and the LC Issuer may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers in accordance with Article XIII, designate replacement or additional Lending Installations through which Loans will be made by it or Facility LCs will be issued by it and for whose account Loan payments or payments with respect to Facility LCs are to be made.

2.18. Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless a Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the case of a Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day for the first three days and, thereafter, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan or (y) in the case of payment by a Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan.

2.19. Facility LCs.

2.19.1. Issuance; Facility LC Amounts. (a) From and after the Effective Date, each Existing Letter of Credit shall, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, constitute a Letter of Credit hereunder. Each LC Issuer hereby agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to issue standby and commercial Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or other Agreed Currencies (each Letter of Credit issued on and after the Effective Date pursuant to this Section 2.19, together with each Existing Letter of Credit, a “Facility LC”) and to renew, extend, increase, decrease or otherwise modify each Facility LC (“Modify,” and each such action a “Modification”), from time to time from and including the Effective Date and prior to the Facility Termination Date upon the request of a Borrower; provided that immediately after each such Facility LC is issued or Modified, (i) the aggregate Dollar Amount of the outstanding LC Obligations shall not exceed the Facility LC Sublimit and (ii) the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment. Unless approved by all the Lenders, no Facility LC shall have an expiry date later than the earlier to occur of (x) the fifth Business Day prior to the Facility Termination Date and (y) one year after its issuance.

(b) No LC Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Facility LC if (i) any order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such LC Issuer from issuing such Facility LC, or any law applicable to such LC Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority with jurisdiction over such LC Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the LC Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Facility LC in particular or shall impose upon the LC Issuer with respect to such Facility LC any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the LC Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon the LC Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which the LC Issuer in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it; or (ii) the issuance of such Facility LC would violate one or more policies of the LC Issuer applicable to Letters of Credit generally.

(c) If a Borrower so requests, an LC Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue an Auto-Extension Facility LC; provided that any such Auto-Extension Facility LC must permit the LC Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Facility LC) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Facility LC is issued. Unless otherwise directed by such LC Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the LC Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Facility LC has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such LC Issuer to permit the extension of such Facility LC at any time to an expiry date not later than the fifth Business Day prior to the Facility Termination Date; provided, however, that the LC Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the LC Issuer has determined (or has been advised by the Administrative Agent on or before the day that is two Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date) that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Facility LC in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (i) or (ii) of Section 2.19.1(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.2 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the LC Issuer not to permit such extension.

(d) Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Facility LC at any time shall be deemed to be the Dollar Amount of the stated amount of such Facility LC in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Facility LC that by its terms provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Facility LC shall be deemed to be the Dollar Amount of the maximum stated amount of such Facility LC after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

2.19.2. Participations. Upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.l, in the case of the Existing Letters of Credit, or otherwise upon the issuance or Modification by the LC Issuer of a Facility LC in accordance with this Section 2.19, the LC Issuer shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably sold to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any

party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the LC Issuer, a participation in such Facility LC (and each Modification thereof) and the related LC Obligations in proportion to its Pro Rata Share.

2.19.3. Notice. Subject to Section 2.19.1, a Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice prior to 10:00 a.m. (Central time) at least two Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance or Modification of each Facility LC, specifying the beneficiary, the proposed date of issuance (or Modification) and the expiry date of such Facility LC, and describing the proposed terms of such Facility LC and the nature of the transactions proposed to be supported thereby. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the LC Issuer and each Lender, of the contents thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s participation in such proposed Facility LC. The issuance or Modification by the LC Issuer of any Facility LC shall, in addition to the conditions precedent set forth in Article IV, be subject to the conditions precedent that such Facility LC shall be satisfactory to the LC Issuer and that such Borrower shall have executed and delivered such application agreement and/or such other instruments and agreements relating to such Facility LC as the LC Issuer shall have reasonably requested (each, a “Facility LC Application”). The LC Issuer shall have no independent duty to ascertain whether the conditions set forth in Article IV have been satisfied; provided, however, that the LC Issuer shall not issue a Facility LC if, on or before the proposed date of issuance, the LC Issuer shall have received notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders that any such condition has not been satisfied or waived. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Facility LC Application, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

2.19.4. LC Fees. Each Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, with respect to each Facility LC issued for the account of such Borrower, a letter of credit fee at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Loans in effect from time to time on the original face amount of the Facility LC for the period from the date of issuance to the scheduled expiration date of such Facility LC, such fee to be payable in arrears on each Payment Date (the “LC Fee”). Such Borrower shall also pay to the LC Issuer for its own account (x) a fronting fee in an amount agreed upon between the LC Issuer and the Borrower and (y) on demand, all amendment, drawing and other fees regularly charged by the LC Issuer to its letter of credit customers and all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the LC Issuer in connection with the issuance, Modification, administration or payment of any Facility LC.

2.19.5. Administration; Reimbursement by Lenders. Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Facility LC of any demand for payment under such Facility LC, the LC Issuer shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the Borrower for which such Facility LC was issued and each other Lender as to the amount to be paid by the LC Issuer as a result of such demand and the proposed payment date (the “LC Payment Date”). The responsibility of the LC Issuer to the Company and any such Borrower and each Lender shall be only to determine that the documents (including each demand for payment) delivered under each Facility LC in connection with such presentment shall be in conformity in all material respects with such Facility LC. The LC Issuer shall endeavor to exercise the same care in the issuance and administration of the Facility LCs as it does with respect to letters of credit in which no participations are granted, it being understood that in the

absence of any gross negligence or willful misconduct by the LC Issuer, each Lender shall be unconditionally and irrevocably liable without regard to the occurrence of any Event of Default or any condition precedent whatsoever, to reimburse the LC Issuer on demand for (i) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of each payment made by the LC Issuer under each Facility LC to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by the Company or any such Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19.6 below and there are not funds available in the Facility LC Collateral Account to cover the same, plus (ii) interest on the foregoing amount to be reimbursed by such Lender, for each day from the date of the LC Issuer’s demand for such reimbursement (or, if such demand is made after 11:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on such date, from the next succeeding Business Day) to the date on which such Lender pays the amount to be reimbursed by it, at a rate of interest per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate for the first three days and, thereafter, at a rate of interest equal to the rate applicable to Base Rate Advances.

2.19.6. Reimbursement by Borrowers. The Company and the Borrower for which a Facility LC was issued shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to reimburse the LC Issuer on or before the applicable LC Payment Date for any amounts to be paid by the LC Issuer upon any drawing under any Facility LC, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind; provided that neither the Company, nor such Borrower nor any Lender shall hereby be precluded from asserting any claim for direct (but not consequential) damages suffered by the Company, such Borrower or such Lender to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (i) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the LC Issuer in determining whether a request presented under any Facility LC issued by it complied with the terms of such Facility LC or (ii) the LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any Facility LC issued by it after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Facility LC. All such amounts paid by the LC Issuer and remaining unpaid by the Company or such Borrower shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to (x) the rate applicable to Base Rate Advances for such day if such day falls on or before the applicable LC Payment Date and (y) the sum of 2.00% plus the rate applicable to Base Rate Advances for such day if such day falls after such LC Payment Date. The LC Issuer will pay to each Lender ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share all amounts received by it from the Company or a Borrower for application in payment, in whole or in part, of the Reimbursement Obligation in respect of any Facility LC issued by the LC Issuer for the account of such Borrower, but only to the extent such Lender has made payment to the LC Issuer in respect of such Facility LC pursuant to Section 2.19.5. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including without limitation the submission of a Borrowing Notice in compliance with Section 2.8 and the satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article IV), the Company or a Borrower may request an Advance hereunder for the purpose of satisfying any Reimbursement Obligation.

2.19.7. Obligations Absolute. Each of the Company’s and any applicable Foreign Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.19 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrowers may have or have had against the LC Issuer, any Lender or any beneficiary of a Facility LC. The Borrowers further agree with the LC Issuer and the Lenders that the LC Issuer and the Lenders shall not be responsible for, and each Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligation in respect of its Facility LCs issued shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even if such documents

should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among such Borrower, any of their Affiliates, the beneficiary of any Facility LC or any financing institution or other party to whom any Facility LC may be transferred or any claims or defenses whatsoever of any Borrower or of any of their Affiliates against the beneficiary of any Facility LC or any such transferee. The LC Issuer shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Facility LC. The Company and each applicable Foreign Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the LC Issuer or any Lender under or in connection with each Facility LC and the related drafts and documents, if done without gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding upon such Borrower(s) and shall not put the LC Issuer or any Lender under any liability to any Borrower. Nothing in this Section 2.19.7 is intended to limit the right of a Borrower to make a claim against the LC Issuer for damages as contemplated by the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.19.6.

2.19.8. Actions of LC Issuer. The LC Issuer shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Facility LC, draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, facsimile, telex, teletype or electronic mail message, statement, order or other document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the LC Issuer. The LC Issuer shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it shall first have received such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it reasonably deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.19, the LC Issuer shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Lenders and any future holders of a participation in any Facility LC.

2.19.9. Indemnification. In addition to their other obligations under this Agreement, the Borrowers hereby agree to protect, indemnify, pay and hold the LC Issuer harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) that the LC Issuer may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (A) the issuance of any Letter of Credit or (B) the failure of the LC Issuer to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or governmental authority (all such acts or omissions, herein called “Government Acts”). As between the Borrowers and the LC Issuer, the Borrowers shall assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuse of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. In the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, the LC Issuer shall not be responsible for: (A) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (B) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, that may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason;

(C) failure of the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon a Letter of Credit; (D) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (E) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (F) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under a Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; and (G) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the LC Issuer, including, without limitation, any Government Acts. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of the LC Issuer’s rights or powers hereunder.

2.19.10. Lenders’ Indemnification. Each Lender shall, ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, indemnify the LC Issuer, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company or the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such indemnitees’ gross negligence or willful misconduct or the LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any Facility LC after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Facility LC) that such indemnitees may suffer or incur in connection with this Section 2.19 or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitees hereunder.

2.19.11. Facility LC Collateral Account. The Company agrees that it will, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders and until the final expiration date of any Facility LC and thereafter as long as any amount is payable to the LC Issuer or the Lenders in respect of any Facility LC issued for the account of any Borrower, maintain a special collateral account pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (each, a “Facility LC Collateral Account”), in the name of the Company but under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and in which neither the Company nor any Foreign Borrower shall have an interest other than as set forth in Section 8.1. The Company hereby pledges, assigns and grants to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and the LC Issuer, a security interest in all of the Company’s right, title and interest in and to all funds which may from time to time be on deposit in a Facility LC Collateral Account to secure the prompt and complete payment and performance of the Obligations of the Company and the Foreign Borrowers. The Administrative Agent will invest any funds on deposit from time to time in the Facility LC Collateral Account in certificates of deposit of U.S. Bank having a maturity not exceeding 30 days. Nothing in this Section 2.19.11 shall obligate the Administrative Agent to require or require the Company or any Foreign Borrower to deposit any funds in a Facility LC Collateral Account, or limit the right of the Administrative Agent to release any funds held in a Facility LC Collateral Account in each case other than as required by Section 8.1.

2.19.12. Rights as a Lender. In its capacity as a Lender, the LC Issuer shall have the same rights and obligations as any other Lender.

2.20. Replacement of Lender. If the Borrowers are required pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 to make any additional payment to any Lender or if any Lender’s obligation to make or continue, or to convert Base Rate Advances into Eurocurrency Advances shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.3 or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to make a Loan, reimburse the

LC Issuer pursuant to Section 2.19.5 or the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.4.4 or declines to approve an amendment or waiver that is approved by the Required Lenders or otherwise becomes a Defaulting Lender (any Lender so affected an “Affected Lender”), the Company may elect, if such amounts continue to be charged or such suspension is still effective, to replace such Affected Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement; provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement; and provided further that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Advances and other Obligations due to the Affected Lender pursuant to an assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit C and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Affected Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of Section 12.3 applicable to assignments, and (ii) the Borrowers shall pay to such Affected Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (A) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Affected Lender by the Borrowers hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Affected Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5, and (B) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 3.4 had the Loans of such Affected Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.

2.21. Limitation of Interest. The Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders intend to strictly comply with all applicable laws, including applicable usury laws. Accordingly, the provisions of this Section 2.21 shall govern and control over every other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which conflicts or is inconsistent with this Section 2.21, even if such provision declares that it controls. As used in this Section 2.21, the term “interest” includes the aggregate of all charges, fees, benefits or other compensation which constitute interest under applicable law; provided that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) any non-principal payment shall be characterized as an expense or as compensation for something other than the use, forbearance or detention of money and not as interest, and (b) all interest at any time contracted for, reserved, charged or received shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread, in equal parts during the full term of the Obligations. In no event shall the Borrowers or any other Person be obligated to pay, or any Lender have any right or privilege to reserve, receive or retain, (i) any interest in excess of the maximum amount of non-usurious interest permitted under the applicable laws (if any) of the United States or of any applicable state, or (ii) total interest in excess of the amount which such Lender could lawfully have contracted for, reserved, received, retained or charged had the interest been calculated for the full term of the Obligations at the Highest Lawful Rate. On each day, if any, that the interest rate (the “Stated Rate”) called for under this Agreement or any other Loan Document exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the rate at which interest shall accrue shall automatically be fixed by operation of this sentence at the Highest Lawful Rate for that day, and shall remain fixed at the Highest Lawful Rate for each day thereafter until the total amount of interest accrued equals the total amount of interest which would have accrued if there were no such ceiling rate as is imposed by this sentence. Thereafter, interest shall accrue at the Stated Rate unless and until the Stated Rate again exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate when the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall again automatically operate to limit the interest accrual rate. The daily interest rates to be used in calculating interest at the Highest Lawful Rate shall be determined by dividing the applicable Highest Lawful Rate per annum by the number of days in the calendar

year for which such calculation is being made. None of the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document which directly or indirectly relate to interest shall ever be construed without reference to this Section 2.21, or be construed to create a contract to pay for the use, forbearance or detention of money at an interest rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate. If the term of any Obligation is shortened by reason of acceleration of maturity as a result of any Event of Default or by any other cause, or by reason of any required or permitted prepayment, and if for that (or any other) reason any Lender at any time, including but not limited to, the stated maturity, is owed or receives (and/or has received) interest in excess of interest calculated at the Highest Lawful Rate, then and in any such event all of any such excess interest shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration, prepayment or other event which produces the excess, and, if such excess interest has been paid to such Lender, it shall be credited pro tanto against the then-outstanding principal balance of the Borrowers’ obligations to such Lender, effective as of the date or dates when the event occurs which causes it to be excess interest, until such excess is exhausted or all of such principal has been fully paid and satisfied, whichever occurs first, and any remaining balance of such excess shall be promptly refunded to its payor.

2.22. 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 unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.5;

(b) the Commitment and Outstanding Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder;

(c) if any Swing Line Loans shall be outstanding or any LC Obligations shall exist at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i)

all or any part of the unfunded participations in and commitments with respect to such Swing Line Loans or Facility LCs shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Outstanding Credit Exposure plus such Defaulting Lenders’ Loans and participations in and commitments with respect to Loans and Facility LCs does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitments and (y) the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV are satisfied at such time; provided, that the LC Fees payable to the Lenders shall be determined taking into account such reallocation.

(ii)

if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, to prepay the outstanding Swing Line Loans that were not reallocated and (y)

second, to cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the LC Obligations in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 8.1 for so long as such Facility LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii)

if a Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Facility LC Exposure pursuant to clause (i) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.19.4 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Facility LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Facility LC Exposure is cash collateralized; and

(iv)

if any Defaulting Lender’s Facility LC Exposure is not cash collateralized pursuant to clause (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the LC Issuer or any Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.19.4 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Facility LC Exposure shall be payable to the LC Issuer until such Facility LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(d) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the LC Issuer shall not be required to issue or Modify any Facility LC, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by cash collateral provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.22(c); and

(e) any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.2 but excluding Section 2.20) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder, (iii) third, to the funding of any Revolving Loan or the funding or cash collateralization of any participating interest in any Swing Line Loan or Facility LC in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, (iv) fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Company, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, (v) fifth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers or the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers or any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and (vi) sixth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent, distributed to the Lenders other than the Defaulting Lender until the ratio of the Outstanding Credit Exposure of such Lenders to the Aggregate Outstanding Exposure equals such ratio immediately prior to the Defaulting Lender’s failure to fund any portion of any Loans or participations in Facility LCs or Swing Line Loans and (vii) seventh, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent

jurisdiction; provided, that if such payment is a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans or Reimbursement Obligations in respect of draws under Facility LCs with respect to which the LC Issuer has funded its participation obligations, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of, and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans, or Reimbursement Obligations owed to, any Defaulting Lender.

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Company, the LC Issuer and the Swing Line Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swing Line Exposure and Facility LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold the Revolving Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. For purposes of this Section 2.22, (x) “Swing Line Exposure” shall mean, with respect to any Defaulting Lender at any time, such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate principal amount of all Swing Line Loans outstanding at such time and (y) “Facility LC Exposure” shall mean, with respect to any Defaulting Lender at any time, such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the LC Obligations at such time.

Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Borrowers, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer or the Swing Line Lender of any of their rights or remedies (whether in equity or law) against any Lender which fails to fund any of its Loans hereunder at the time or in the amount required to be funded under the terms of this Agreement.

2.23. Market Disruption. Notwithstanding the satisfaction of all applicable conditions referred to in Article II and Article IV with respect to any Advance or Facility LC in any Agreed Currency other than Dollars, if there shall occur on or prior to the date of such Advance or the date of issuance of such Facility LC any change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls which would in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders make it impracticable for the Eurocurrency Loans comprising such Advance or Facility LC to be denominated in the Agreed Currency specified by a Borrower, then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to such Borrower and the Lenders, and such Loans or Facility LC shall not be denominated in such Agreed Currency but shall be made on such Borrowing Date in Dollars, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Dollar Amount of the aggregate principal amount specified in the related Borrowing Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be, as Base Rate Loans, unless such Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day before such Borrowing Date (in the event that the Administrative Agent has given such notice to such Borrower no later than two Business Days prior to such Borrowing Date and otherwise as soon as practicable in the circumstances but in any case prior to the making of such Advance or issuance of such Facility LC) that (i) it elects not to borrow on such date or (ii) it elects to borrow on such date in a different Agreed Currency, as the case may be, in which the denomination of such Loans would in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders be practicable and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Dollar Amount of the aggregate principal amount specified in the related Borrowing Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be.

2.24. Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from the Borrower hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s offices on the Business Day preceding that on which final, non-appealable judgment is given. The obligations of each Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, each Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum originally due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency and (b) any amounts shared with other Lenders as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender under Section 11.2, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to such Borrower.

2.25. Increase Option. The Borrowers may from time to time elect to increase the Commitments, in each case in minimum increments of $10,000,000 or such lower amount as the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent agree upon, so long as, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of such increases does not exceed $150,000,000. The Borrowers may arrange for any such increase to be provided by one or more Lenders (each Lender so agreeing to an increase in its Commitment, an “Increasing Lender”), or by one or more new banks, financial institutions or other entities (each such new bank, financial institution or other entity, an “Augmenting Lender”), to increase their existing Commitments; provided that (i) each Augmenting Lender and each Increasing Lender shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Company, the Administrative Agent and the LC Issuer and (ii) (x) in the case of an Increasing Lender, the Borrowers and such Increasing Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto, and (y) in the case of an Augmenting Lender, the Borrowers and such Augmenting Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto. No consent of any Lender (other than the Lenders participating in the increase) shall be required for any increase in Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.25. For the avoidance of doubt, no Lender shall be under any obligation to become an Increasing Lender and any such decision whether to increase its Commitment shall be in such Lender’s sole and absolute discretion. Increases and new Commitments created pursuant to this Section 2.25 shall become effective on the date agreed by the Company, the Administrative Agent and the relevant Increasing Lenders or Augmenting Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Commitments (or in the Commitment of any Lender) shall become effective under this paragraph unless, (i) on the proposed date of the effectiveness of such increase, (A) the conditions set forth in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of

Section 4.2 shall be satisfied or waived by the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by an Authorized Officer of each Borrower and (B) the Borrowers shall be in compliance (on a pro forma basis reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) with the covenants contained in Section 6.25 and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received documents consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date as to the corporate power and authority of the Borrowers to borrow hereunder after giving effect to such increase. On the effective date of any increase in the Commitments, (i) each relevant Increasing Lender and Augmenting Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other Lenders, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such increase and the use of such amounts to make payments to such other Lenders, each Lender’s portion of the outstanding Revolving Loans of all the Lenders to equal its Pro Rata Share of such outstanding Revolving Loans, and (ii) the Borrowers shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all outstanding Revolving Loans as of the date of any increase in the Commitments (with such reborrowing to consist of the Types of Revolving Loans, with related Interest Periods if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the Borrowers, in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.8). The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and, in respect of each Eurocurrency Loan, shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrowers pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.4 if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related Interest Periods.

2.26. Foreign Borrowers. The Company may at any time or from time to time, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, add as a party to this Agreement any Foreign Subsidiary to be a Foreign Borrower hereunder by (a) the execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of a duly completed Assumption Letter by the Company and such Foreign Subsidiary (which Assumption Letter shall include a designation of the Agreed Currencies in which such Foreign Borrower may borrow Advances hereunder), with the consent and acknowledgement of the Administrative Agent, (b) the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.3 and (c) delivery to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of such other opinions, agreements, documents, certificates or other items as may reasonably be required by the Administrative Agent. Upon such execution, delivery and consent, such Foreign Subsidiary shall for all purposes be a party hereto as a Foreign Borrower, authorized to borrow in its Designated Currencies, as fully as if it had executed and delivered this Agreement. So long as the principal of and interest on any Advances made to any Foreign Borrower under this Agreement and all other Foreign Borrower Obligations of such Foreign Borrower under this Agreement shall have been fully performed, the Company may, by not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), terminate such Foreign Subsidiary’s status as an “Foreign Borrower” (it being understood and agreed that such Foreign Borrower shall remain liable with respect to indemnification and similar obligations incurred prior to such termination). The Administrative Agent shall give the Lenders written notice of the addition of any Foreign Borrower to this Agreement.

2.27. Liability of the Borrowers.

2.27.1. Liability. THE COMPANY AGREES THAT IT IS LIABLE FOR THE PAYMENT OF ALL OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWERS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE LENDERS AND THE L/C ISSUER CAN ENFORCE SUCH OBLIGATIONS AGAINST THE COMPANY IN THEIR SOLE AND UNLIMITED DISCRETION. EACH FOREIGN BORROWER IS LIABLE ONLY FOR ITS FOREIGN BORROWER OBLIGATIONS, NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY LOAN DOCUMENT.

2.27.2. Borrowers’ Agent. Each Foreign Borrower, by entering into an Assumption Letter becoming a party to this Agreement, appoints the Company as its agent for purposes of carrying out the obligations and enforcing the rights of the Borrowers hereunder. All notices to be given to the Borrowers hereunder may be delivered to the Company as agent for the Borrowers and all actions to be taken by a Foreign Borrower hereunder may be taken by such Foreign Borrower or by the Company as agent for such Foreign Borrower.

2.27.3. Waivers of Defenses. The Obligations of the Company for the Foreign Borrower Obligations shall not be released, in whole or in part, by any action or thing which might, but for this provision of this Agreement, be deemed a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor, other than irrevocable payment and performance in full of such Obligations (except for contingent indemnity and other contingent Obligations not yet due and payable) at a time after any obligation of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the LC Issuer hereunder to extend credit shall have expired or been terminated. The purpose and intent of this Agreement is that the Foreign Borrower Obligations constitute the direct and primary obligations of the Company, and that the covenants, agreements and all obligations of the Company with respect thereto hereunder be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable. Each Borrower shall be and remain liable for any deficiency remaining after foreclosure of any mortgage, deed of trust or security agreement securing all or any part of the Obligations for which it is liable, whether or not the liability of any other Person for such deficiency is discharged pursuant to statute, judicial decision or otherwise.

2.27.4. Actions Not Required. Each Borrower, to the extent permitted by applicable law, hereby waives any and all right to cause a marshaling of the assets of any other Borrower or any other action by any court or other governmental body with respect thereto or to cause the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the LC Issuer to proceed against any security for the Obligations or any other recourse which they may have with respect thereto and further waives any and all requirements that the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the LC Issuer institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity, or obtain any judgment, against any other Borrower or any other Person, or with respect to any collateral security for the Obligations, as a condition precedent to making demand on or bringing an action or obtaining and/or enforcing a judgment against, such Borrower under this Agreement.

2.27.5. Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by any Borrower hereunder or any setoff or application of funds of any Borrower by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the LC Issuer, no Borrower shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the LC Issuer against any other Borrower or any Guarantor or any collateral security or guaranty or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the LC Issuer for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall such Borrower

seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from any other Borrower or any Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Borrower hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the LC Issuer by the Borrowers on account of the Obligations are irrevocably paid in full.

2.27.6. Recovery of Payment. If any payment received by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the LC Issuer and applied to the Obligations is subsequently set aside, recovered, rescinded or required to be returned for any reason (including, without limitation, the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of a Borrower or any other obligor), the Obligations to which such payment was applied shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application, and each Borrower liable on such Obligations shall be jointly and severally liable for such Obligations as fully as if such application had never been made. References in this Agreement to amounts “irrevocably paid” or to “irrevocable payment” refer to payments that cannot be set aside, recovered, rescinded or required to be returned for any reason.

2.27.7. Borrowers’ Financial Condition. The Company is familiar with the financial condition of each Foreign Borrower and the Company has executed and delivered this Agreement based on its own judgment and not in reliance upon any statement or representation of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the LC Issuer. None of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the LC Issuer shall have any obligation to provide any Borrower with any advice whatsoever or to inform any Borrower at any time of its actions, evaluations or conclusions on the financial condition or any other matter concerning the Borrowers.

2.27.8. Bankruptcy of the Borrowers. Each Borrower expressly agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, that the liabilities and obligations of that Borrower under this Agreement shall not in any way be impaired or otherwise affected by the institution by or against any other Borrower or any other Person of any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or any other similar proceedings for relief under any bankruptcy law or similar law for the relief of debtors and that any discharge of any of the Obligations pursuant to any such bankruptcy or similar law or other law shall not diminish, discharge or otherwise affect in any way the Obligations of that Borrower under this Agreement, and that upon the institution of any of the above actions, such Obligations shall be enforceable against that Borrower.

2.27.9. Limitation; Insolvency Laws. As used in this Section: (a) the term “Applicable Insolvency Laws” means the laws of the United States of America or of any State, province, nation or other governmental unit relating to bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment of debts, relief of debtors, dissolution, insolvency, fraudulent transfers or conveyances or other similar laws (including, without limitation, 11 U. S. C. 547, 548, 550 and other “avoidance” provisions of Title 11 of the United Stated Code) as applicable in any proceeding in which the validity and/or enforceability of this Agreement against any Borrower, or any Specified Lien is in issue; and (b) “Specified Lien” means any security interest, mortgage, lien or encumbrance granted by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries securing the Obligations, in whole or in part. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, in any proceeding, a court of competent jurisdiction determines that with respect to the Company, any of the Obligations or any Specified Lien would, but for the operation of this Section, be subject

to avoidance and/or recovery or be unenforceable by reason of Applicable Insolvency Laws, the Obligations and each such Specified Lien shall be valid and enforceable against the Company, to the maximum extent that would not cause the Obligations or such Specified Lien to be subject to avoidance, recovery or unenforceability. To the extent that any payment to, or realization by, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the LC Issuer on the Obligations exceeds the limitations of this Section and is otherwise subject to avoidance and recovery in any such proceeding, the amount subject to avoidance shall in all events be limited to the amount by which such actual payment or realization exceeds such limitation, and this Agreement as limited shall in all events remain in full force and effect and be fully enforceable against the Company. This Section is intended solely to reserve the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the LC Issuer hereunder against the Company with respect to the Foreign Borrower Obligations, in such proceeding to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Insolvency Laws and neither the Borrowers, any Guarantor nor any other Person shall have any right, claim or defense under this Section that would not otherwise be available under Applicable Insolvency Laws in such proceeding.

ARTICLE III

YIELD PROTECTION; TAXES

3.1. Yield Protection.

(a) If, on or after the Effective Date, the adoption of any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any change in the interpretation, promulgation, implementation or administration thereof by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, including, notwithstanding the foregoing, all requests, rules, guidelines or directives in connection with the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued, or compliance by any Lender or applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency:

(i)

subjects any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer to any Taxes, or changes the basis of taxation of payments (other than with respect to Excluded Taxes) to any Lender or the LC Issuer in respect of its Eurocurrency Loans or Daily Eurocurrency Loans, Facility LCs or participations therein, or

(ii)

imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, special assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Advances) and Daily Eurocurrency Loans, or

(iii)

imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer of making, funding or maintaining its Eurocurrency Loans or Daily Eurocurrency Loans, or of issuing or participating in Facility LCs, or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer in connection with its Eurocurrency Loans, or Daily Eurocurrency Loans, Facility LCs or participations therein, or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of Eurocurrency Loans, or Daily Eurocurrency Loans, Facility LCs or participations therein held or interest or LC Fees received by it, by an amount deemed material by such Lender or the LC Issuer as the case may be,

and such Lender or applicable Lending Installation or LC Issuer, as applicable, determines that, by reason thereof, the cost to it of making or maintaining its Eurocurrency Loans, Daily Eurocurrency Loans or Commitment or of issuing or participating in Facility LCs is increased or the rate of return or any amount to be received by such Lender or applicable Lending Installation or LC Issuer, as applicable, in connection with such Eurocurrency Loans or Daily Eurocurrency Loans or Commitment, Facility LCs or participations therein is decreased, then, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender or LC Issuer, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate it for such additional costs or reduction in return or amounts received (provided that the Lenders or the LC Issuers have not been compensated for such additional costs or reduction in return or amounts received in the calculation of the Eurocurrency Base Rate or the Daily Eurocurrency Base Rate).

(b) Each Lender or LC Issuer shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.1.

(c) The Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 3.1 for any increased costs or reduction in return or amounts received incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor.

3.2. Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations.

(a) If a Lender or LC Issuer determines the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or LC Issuer, any Lending Installation of such Lender or LC Issuer, or any corporation controlling such Lender or LC Issuer is increased as a result of a Change, then, within 10 days of demand by such Lender or LC Issuer, the Borrowers shall pay such Lender or LC Issuer the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital which such Lender or LC Issuer determines is attributable to this Agreement, its Outstanding Credit Exposure or its Commitment to make Loans and issue or participate in Facility LCs, as the case may be, hereunder (after taking into

account such Lender’s or LC Issuer’s policies as to capital adequacy). “Change” means (i) any change after the Effective Date in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines or (ii) any adoption of or change in any other law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation, promulgation, implementation or administration thereof after the Effective Date which affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or the LC Issuer or any Lending Installation or any corporation controlling any Lender or the LC Issuer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of this Agreement, all requests, rules, guidelines or directives in connection with the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act shall be deemed to be a Change regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued. All requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States financial regulatory authorities shall be deemed to be a Change regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented. “Risk-Based Capital Guidelines” means (x) the risk-based capital guidelines in effect in the United States on the Effective Date, including transition rules, and (y) the corresponding capital regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities outside the United States including transition rules, and any amendments to such regulations adopted prior to the date of this Agreement.

(b) No Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 3.2 for any additional amounts incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies such Borrower of the Change giving rise to such additional amounts and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor.

3.3. Availability of Types of Advances; Adequacy of Interest Rate. If the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund Eurocurrency Advances or Daily Eurocurrency Loans are not available to such Lenders in the relevant market or the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Lenders, determines that the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Advances or Daily Eurocurrency Loans is not ascertainable or does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost of making or maintaining Eurocurrency Advances or Daily Eurocurrency Loans, then the Administrative Agent shall suspend the availability of Eurocurrency Advances or Daily Eurocurrency Loans and require any affected Eurocurrency Advances or Daily Eurocurrency Loans to be repaid or converted to Base Rate Advances, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.4.

3.4. Funding Indemnification. If (a) any payment of a Eurocurrency Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, (b) a Eurocurrency Advance is not made on the date specified by the Borrower of such Advance for any reason other than default by the Lenders, (c) a Eurocurrency Loan is converted other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (d) the Borrower of a Eurocurrency Loan fails to borrow, convert, continue or prepay such Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (e) any Eurocurrency Loan is assigned other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower of such Eurocurrency Loan pursuant to Section 2.20, the Company and such Borrower will indemnify each Lender for such Lender’s costs, expenses and Interest Differential (as determined by such Lender) incurred as a result of such prepayment.

The term “Interest Differential” shall mean that sum equal to the greater of zero or the financial loss incurred by the Lender resulting from prepayment, calculated as the difference between the amount of interest such Lender would have earned (from the investments in money markets as of the Borrowing Date of such Advance) had prepayment not occurred and the interest such Lender will actually earn (from like investments in money markets as of the date of prepayment) as a result of the redeployment of funds from the prepayment. Because of the short-term nature of this facility, the Borrowers agree that Interest Differential shall not be discounted to its present value.

3.5. Taxes.

(a) All payments by a Borrower to or for the account of any Lender, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note or Facility LC Application shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes. If a Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent, (a) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.5) such Lender, the LC Issuer 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, (b) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (c) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law and (d) the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof within 30 days after such payment is made.

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

(c) The Borrowers hereby agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer and each Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 3.5) paid by the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer or such Lender as a result of its Commitment, any Loans made by it hereunder, or otherwise in connection with its participation in this Agreement and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days of the date the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer or such Lender makes demand therefor pursuant to Section 3.6.

(d) Each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (each a “Non-U.S. Lender”) agrees that it will, not more than ten Business Days after the Effective Date, (i) deliver to the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, certifying in either case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, and (ii) deliver to the Administrative Agent a United States Internal Revenue Form W-8 or W-9, as the case may

be, and certify that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each Non-U.S. Lender further undertakes to deliver to each of the Company and the Administrative Agent (x) renewals or additional copies of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete, and (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent. All forms or amendments described in the preceding sentence shall provide evidence that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless 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 all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and such Lender advises the Company and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.

(e) For any period during which a Non-U.S. Lender has failed to provide the Company with an appropriate form pursuant to Section 3.5(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 3.5 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that, should a Non-U.S. 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 under Section 3.5(d) above, the Company shall take such steps as such Non-U.S. Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Non-U.S. Lender to recover such Taxes.

(f) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement or any Note pursuant to the law of any relevant jurisdiction or any treaty shall deliver to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

(g) If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental authority of the United States or any other country or any political subdivision thereof asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered or properly completed, because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered its exemption from withholding ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax, withholding therefor, or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this subsection, together with all costs and expenses related thereto (including attorneys fees and time charges of attorneys for the Administrative Agent, which attorneys may be employees of the Administrative Agent). The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 3.5(g) shall survive the payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

3.6. Selection of Lending Installation; Mitigation Obligations; Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its Eurocurrency Loans or Daily Eurocurrency Loan (in the case of Swing Line Lender) to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5 or to avoid the unavailability of Eurocurrency Advances or Daily Eurocurrency Loans under Section 3.3, so long as such designation is not, in the judgment of such Lender, materially disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrowers in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a Eurocurrency Loan or Daily Eurocurrency Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its Eurocurrency Loan and the Swing Line Lender funded its Daily Eurocurrency Loans through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the Eurocurrency Rate or Daily Eurocurrency Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender shall be payable on demand after receipt by the Borrower of such written statement. The obligations of the Borrowers under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

3.7. Non-U.S. Reserve Costs or Fees. If any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive of any jurisdiction outside of the United States of America or any subdivision thereof (whether or not having the force of law), imposes or deems applicable any reserve requirement against or fee with respect to assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation, and the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or applicable Lending Installation of making or maintaining its Eurocurrency Loans to any Foreign Borrower or its Commitment to any Foreign Borrower or to reduce the return received by such Lender or applicable Lending Installation in connection with such Eurocurrency Loans to any Foreign Borrower or Commitment to any Foreign Borrower, then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender, such Foreign Borrower shall pay such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction in amount received; provided that such Foreign Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender for such non-U.S. reserve costs or fees to the extent that an amount equal to such reserve costs or fees is received by such Lender as a result of the calculation of the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Advances pursuant to the definition of “Eurocurrency Rate.”

5.2. Authorization and Validity.

The execution and delivery by each Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by proper corporate, limited liability company or partnership proceedings, and the Loan Documents to which each Loan Party is a party constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of such Loan Party enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

5.3. No Conflict; Government Consent. Neither the execution and delivery by each Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, nor the consummation of the

transactions therein contemplated, nor compliance with the provisions thereof will (i) violate, contravene or conflict with any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) violate, contravene or conflict with the Company’s or any of its Subsidiary’s articles or certificate of incorporation, partnership agreement, certificate of partnership, articles or certificate of organization, by-laws, or operating or other management agreement, as the case may be, or (iii) violate, contravene or conflict with, or cause an event of default under, the provisions of any indenture, instrument or agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or is subject, or by which it, or its Property, is bound, or result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien in, of or on the Property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, instrument or agreement. No order, consent, adjudication, approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, or other action in respect of any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, which has not been obtained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, is required to be obtained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the borrowings under this Agreement, the payment and performance by the Loan Parties of the Obligations or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents.

(b) To the best knowledge of the Company, no Internal Control Event exists or has occurred since the date of the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.1(a) that has resulted in or could reasonably be expected to result in a misstatement in any material respect, in any financial information delivered or to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, of (i) covenant compliance calculations provided hereunder or (ii) the assets, liabilities, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

5.5. Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2010 there has been no change in the business, Property, liabilities (actual or contingent), operations, prospects, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.6. Taxes. The Company and its Subsidiaries have filed all United States federal tax returns and all other tax returns which are required to be filed by them and have paid all taxes due pursuant to said returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP and as to which no Lien exists. No tax liens have been filed and no claims are being asserted with respect to any such taxes. The

charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Company and its Subsidiaries in respect of any taxes or other governmental charges are adequate in accordance with GAAP.

5.7. Litigation and Guaranty Obligations. There is no litigation, arbitration, governmental investigation, proceeding or inquiry pending or, to the knowledge of any of their officers, threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or which seeks to prevent, enjoin or delay this Agreement or the making of any Credit Extensions.

5.8. Subsidiaries; Material Subsidiaries. Schedule 5.8 contains an accurate list of all Subsidiaries of the Company as of the Effective Date, setting forth their respective jurisdictions of organization, the percentage of their respective capital stock or other ownership interests owned by the Company or other Subsidiaries and indicating whether any such Subsidiary is a Material Subsidiary. All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock or other ownership interests of such Subsidiaries have been (to the extent such concepts are relevant with respect to such ownership interests) duly authorized and issued and are fully paid and non-assessable.

(a) (i) No ERISA Event has occurred, and, to the best knowledge of the Company, each of its Subsidiaries and each ERISA Affiliate, no event or condition has occurred or exists as a result of which any ERISA Event could reasonably be expected to occur, with respect to any Plan; (ii) each Plan has been maintained, operated, and funded in compliance with its own terms and in material compliance with the provisions of ERISA, the Code, and any other applicable federal or state laws; (iii) each Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS or an application for such a letter is currently being processed by the IRS with respect thereto and, to the best knowledge of the Company, each of its Subsidiaries and each ERISA Affiliate, nothing has occurred which would prevent, or cause the loss of, such qualification; and (iv) no Lien in favor or the PBGC or a Plan has arisen or is reasonably likely to arise on account of any Plan.

(b) The actuarial present value of all “benefit liabilities” (as defined in Section 4001(a)(16) of ERISA), whether or not vested, under each Single Employer Plan, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made (determined, in each case, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement 87, utilizing the actuarial assumptions used in such Plan’s most recent actuarial valuation report), did not exceed as of such valuation date the fair market value of the assets of such Plan allocated to such accrued liabilities.

(c) Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary of the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or, to the best of each such party’s knowledge, is reasonably expected to incur, any liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Single Employer Plan (other than contributions to the Plan or premiums to the PBGC in the ordinary course and without default), or any withdrawal liability under ERISA to any Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary of the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate would become subject to any withdrawal liability under ERISA if any such party were

to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans and Multiple Employer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary of the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has received any notification that any Multiemployer Plan is in reorganization (within the meaning of Section 4241 of ERISA), is insolvent (within the meaning of Section 4245 of ERISA), or has been terminated (within the meaning of Title IV of ERISA), and no Multiemployer Plan is, to the best of each such Person’s knowledge, reasonably expected to be in reorganization, insolvent, or terminated.

(d) No prohibited transaction (within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) or breach of fiduciary responsibility has occurred with respect to a Plan which has subjected or may subject the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company or any ERISA Affiliate to any liability under Sections 406, 409, 502(i), or 502(l) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or under any agreement or other instrument pursuant to which the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company or any ERISA Affiliate has agreed or is required to indemnify any person against any such liability. There are no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, each of its Subsidiaries and each ERISA Affiliate, threatened claims, actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority, with respect to any Plan that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(e) Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary of the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has any material liability with respect to “expected post-retirement benefit obligations” within the meaning of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement 106. Each Plan that is a welfare plan (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) to which Sections 601-609 of ERISA and Section 4980B of the Code apply has been administered in compliance in all material respects with such sections.

5.10. Accuracy of Information. No information, exhibit or report furnished by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to the Administrative Agent or to any Lender in connection with the negotiation of, or compliance with, the Loan Documents contained any material misstatement of fact or omitted to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading.

No claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any Intellectual Property owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has a right to use or the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property, nor does the Company or any of its Subsidiaries have knowledge of any such claim, and, to the knowledge of the Company and its Subsidiaries, the use of any Intellectual Property by the Company and its Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person, except for such claims and infringements that in the aggregate, would not have or would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.12. [Reserved].

5.13. Compliance With Laws. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, permits, orders and restrictions of any domestic or foreign government or any instrumentality or agency thereof having jurisdiction over the conduct of their respective businesses or the ownership of their respective Property.

5.14. Ownership of Properties. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.14, on the Effective Date, the Company and its Subsidiaries will have good title, free of all Liens other than those permitted by Section 6.17, to all of the Property and assets reflected in the Company’s most recent consolidated financial statements provided to the Administrative Agent as owned by the Company and its Subsidiaries.

5.15. Plan Assets; Prohibited Transactions. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is an entity deemed to hold “plan assets” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101 of an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) which is subject to Title I of ERISA or any plan (within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code), and neither the execution of this Agreement nor the making of Credit Extensions hereunder gives rise to a prohibited transaction within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

5.16. Environmental Matters. In the ordinary course of its business, the officers of the Company consider the effect of Environmental Laws on the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, in the course of which they identify and evaluate potential risks and liabilities accruing to the Company and its Subsidiaries due to Environmental Laws. On the basis of this consideration, the Company has concluded that Environmental Laws cannot reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice to the effect that its operations are not in material compliance with any of the requirements of applicable Environmental Laws or are the subject of any federal or state investigation evaluating whether any remedial action is needed to respond to a release of any toxic or hazardous waste or substance into the environment, which non-compliance or remedial action could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its Subsidiaries have adopted procedures that are reasonably designed to (i) ensure that the Company and its Subsidiaries, and of their operations and each of the real properties owned, leased or operated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Real Properties”) complies with applicable Environmental Laws and (ii) minimize any liabilities or potential liabilities that the Company, any Subsidiary, any of their respective operations or any of the Real Properties may have under applicable Environmental Laws.

5.17. Government Regulation.

(a) No Borrower is engaged or will engage, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U), or extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock. Following the application of the proceeds of each Advance or drawing under each Facility LC, not more than 25% of the value of the assets (either of the applicable Borrower only or of such Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis) will be margin stock.

(b) No Loan Party is or is required to be registered as an “investment company” or a Company “controlled” by an under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

5.18. Insurance.

5.19. Solvency.

(a) Immediately after the consummation of the transactions to occur on the Effective Date and immediately following the making of each Credit Extension, if any, made on the Effective Date and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of such Credit Extensions, (a) the fair value of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, at a fair valuation, will exceed the debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis; (b) the present fair saleable value of the Property of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis on their debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (c) the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be able to pay their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured in the normal course of business; and (d) the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the businesses in which they are engaged as such businesses are now conducted and are proposed to be conducted after the Effective Date giving due consideration to the prevailing practice in the industries in which the Company and its Subsidiaries are engaged or are to engage. In computing the amount of contingent liabilities at any time, it is intended that such liabilities will be computed at the amount which, in light of all the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.

(b) The Company does not intend to, or to permit any of its Subsidiaries to, and does not believe that it or any of its Subsidiaries will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature in their ordinary course.

5.20. No Default. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

5.21. Foreign Borrowers.

(a) To ensure the enforceability or admissibility in evidence of this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which a Foreign Borrower is a party in the laws of

the jurisdiction of such Foreign Borrower’s organization (such jurisdiction being hereinafter referred to as the “Home Country”), it is not necessary that this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which such Foreign Borrower is a party or any other document be filed or recorded with any court or other authority in its Home Country or that any stamp or similar tax be paid to or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document of such Foreign Borrower, other than documents which have been so filed or recorded and stamp or similar taxes which have been so paid.

Each Foreign Borrower’s execution and delivery of the Loan Documents to which it is a party constitute, and the exercise of its rights and performance of and compliance with its obligations under such Loan Documents will constitute, private and commercial acts done and performed for private and commercial purposes.

(c) It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the representations and warranties in this Section 5.21 of each Foreign Borrower shall only be applicable to such Foreign Borrower on and after the date of its execution of its Assumption Letter.

ARTICLE VIII

ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES

8.1. Acceleration; Remedies.

(a) If any Event of Default described in Section 7.9 or 7.10 occurs with respect to a Borrower, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation and power of the LC Issuer to issue Facility LCs shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer or any Lender and the Borrowers will be and become thereby unconditionally obligated, without any further notice, act or demand, to pay to the Administrative Agent an amount in immediately available funds, which funds shall be held in the Facility LC Collateral Account, equal to the difference of (x) the amount of LC Obligations at such time, less (y) the amount on deposit in the Facility LC Collateral Account at such time which is free and clear of all rights and claims of third parties and has not been applied against the Obligations (such difference, the “Collateral Shortfall Amount”). If any other Event of Default occurs, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) may (a) terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation and power of the LC Issuer to issue Facility LCs, or declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrowers hereby expressly waive, and (b) upon notice to the Borrowers and in addition to the continuing right to demand payment of all amounts payable under this Agreement, make demand on the Borrowers to pay, and the Borrowers will, forthwith upon such demand and without any further notice or act, pay to the Administrative Agent the Collateral Shortfall Amount, which funds shall be deposited in the Facility LC Collateral Account.

(b) The Administrative Agent may at any time or from time to time after funds are deposited in a Facility LC Collateral Account, apply such funds to the payment of the Obligations and any other amounts as shall from time to time have become due and payable by the Borrowers to the Lenders or the LC Issuer under the Loan Documents, as provided in Section 8.2; provided, that funds deposited in a Facility LC Collateral Account by a Foreign Borrower may only be applied by the Administrative Agent to the Foreign Borrower Obligations of such Foreign Borrower.

(c) At any time while any Event of Default is continuing, neither a Borrower nor any Person claiming on behalf of or through a Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any of the funds held in the Facility LC Collateral Account. After all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Aggregate Commitment has been terminated, any funds remaining in the Facility LC Collateral Account shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Company or paid to whomever may be legally entitled thereto at such time.

(d) If, within 30 days after acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations or termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and the obligation and power of the LC Issuer to issue Facility LCs hereunder as a result of any Event of Default (other than any Event of Default as described in Section 7.9 or 7.10 with respect to a Borrower) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered,

the Required Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination.

(e) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, subject to the direction of the Required Lenders, exercise all rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and enforce all other rights and remedies under applicable law.

8.2. Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.1 (or after the Obligations have automatically become immediately due and payable as set forth in the first sentence of Section 8.1(a)), any amounts received by the Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:

8.2.1. First, to payment of fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;

8.2.2. Second, to payment of fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, interest, LC Fees and Commitment Fees) payable to the Lenders and the LC Issuer (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders and the LC Issuer as required by Section 9.6 and amounts payable under Article III);

8.2.3. Third, to payment of accrued and unpaid LC Fees, Commitment Fees and interest on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, ratably among the Lenders and the LC Issuer in proportion to the respective amounts described in this Section 8.2.3 payable to them;

8.2.4. Fourth, to payment of the unpaid principal of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to their Pro Rata Shares;

8.2.5. Fifth, to the Administrative Agent for deposit to the Facility LC Collateral Account to cash collateralize the LC Obligations;

8.2.6. Sixth, to payment of all other Obligations, ratably among the Lenders; and

8.2.7. Last, the balance, if any, to the Borrowers or as otherwise required by Law.

8.3. Amendments.

8.3.1. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.3, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and the Company may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrowers hereunder or waiving any Event of Default hereunder; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall:

(i)

without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, extend the final maturity of any Loan, or extend the expiry date of any Facility LC to a date after the Facility Termination Date or postpone any regularly scheduled payment of principal of any Loan or forgive all or any portion of the principal amount thereof or any Reimbursement Obligation related thereto, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon or Reimbursement Obligations related thereto or increase the amount of the Commitment of such Lender hereunder;

(ii)

without the consent of all of the Lenders other than any Defaulting Lender, reduce the percentage specified in, or otherwise amend, the definition of Required Lenders;

(iii)

without the consent of all of the Lenders other than any Defaulting Lender, amend this Section 8.3;

(iv)

without the consent of all of the Lenders other than any Defaulting Lender, except as permitted pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, release all or substantially all of the Guarantors of the Obligations or, all or substantially all of the Equity Interests pledged pursuant to any Pledge Agreement; or

(v)

without the consent of all of the Lenders other than any Defaulting Lender, amend the definition of Pro Rata Share or Sections 2.5, 2.19.4 or 11.2.

8.3.2. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Administrative Agent shall be effective without the written consent of the Administrative Agent, and no amendment of any provision relating to the LC Issuer shall be effective without the written consent of the LC Issuer. No amendment to any provision of this Agreement relating to the Swing Line Lender or any Swing Line Loans shall be affective without the written consent of the Swing Line Lender. The Administrative Agent may (i) waive payment of the fee required under Section 12.3.3 and (ii) implement any flex provisions contained in the fee letter described in Section 10.13. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Company only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency of a technical or immaterial nature, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent.

8.3.3. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, by executing this Agreement, or by accepting an assignment of an interest hereunder pursuant to Section 12.3, each Lender hereby consents to and authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver the Intercreditor Agreement and to take action thereunder, including the release of Collateral (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) and distribution of proceeds, in each case pursuant to the terms thereof; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that any amendment of the Intercreditor Agreement shall be subject to the terms of Sections 8.3.1 and 8.3.2.

8.4. Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Credit Extension notwithstanding the existence of an Event of Default or the inability of the Borrowers to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Credit Extension shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.3, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.

Neither the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, the LC Issuer nor any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and the Borrowers hereby waive, release and agree not to xxx for, any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages suffered by the Borrowers in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

10.1. Appointment; Nature of Relationship. U.S. Bank National Association is hereby appointed by each of the Lenders as its contractual representative (herein referred to as the “Administrative Agent”) hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the contractual representative of such Lender with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this Article X. Notwithstanding the use of the defined term “Administrative Agent,” it is expressly understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall not have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and that the Administrative Agent is merely acting as the contractual representative of the Lenders with only those duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In its capacity as the Lenders’ contractual representative, the Administrative Agent (i) does not hereby assume any fiduciary duties to any of the Lenders, (ii) is a “representative” of the Lenders within the meaning of the term “secured party” as defined in the Minnesota Uniform Commercial Code and (iii) is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each of the Lenders hereby agrees to assert no claim against the Administrative Agent on any agency theory or any other theory of liability for breach of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each Lender hereby waives.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to the Borrowers or any Borrower, the Lenders or any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith except to the extent such action or

inaction is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person.

10.4. No Responsibility for Loans, Recitals, etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any borrowing hereunder; (b) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any agreement by an obligor to furnish information directly to each Lender; (c) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article IV, except receipt of items required to be delivered solely to the Administrative Agent; (d) the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default; (e) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness, sufficiency or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith; (f) the value, sufficiency, creation, perfection or priority of any Lien in any collateral security; or (g) the financial condition of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

The Lenders hereby acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

10.6. Employment of Administrative Agents and Counsel. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties as Administrative Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning the contractual arrangement between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and all matters pertaining to the Administrative Agent’s duties hereunder and under any other Loan Document.

10.7. Reliance on Documents; Counsel. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any Note, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex, electronic mail message, statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and, in respect to legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent, which counsel may be employees of the Administrative Agent. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Sections 4.1 and 4.2, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory

to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the applicable date specifying its objection thereto.

10.8. Administrative Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments (or, if the Commitments have been terminated, in proportion to their Commitments immediately prior to such termination) (i) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrowers for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrowers under the Loan Documents, (ii) for any other expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, for any expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders) and (iii) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, for any such amounts incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders), or the enforcement of any of the terms of the Loan Documents or of any such other documents; provided, that (i) no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent and (ii) any indemnification required pursuant to Section 3.5(g) shall, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10.8, be paid by the relevant Lender in accordance with the provisions thereof. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 10.8 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

10.9. Notice of Event of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders; provided that, except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

10.10. Rights as a Lender. In the event the Administrative Agent is a Lender, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Loan Document with respect to its Commitment and its Loans as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, at any time when the Administrative Agent is a Lender, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

other Loan Document, with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in which the Company or such Subsidiary is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person.

10.11. Lender Credit Decision, Legal Representation.

(a) Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any other Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrowers and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Except for any notice, report, document or other information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent or Arranger hereunder, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Arranger shall have any duty or responsibility (either initially or on a continuing basis) to provide any Lender with any notice, report, document, credit information or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or Arranger (whether or not in their respective capacity as Administrative Agent or Arranger) or any of their Affiliates.

(b) Each Lender further acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to be represented by legal counsel in connection with its execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, that it has made its own evaluation of all applicable laws and regulations relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and that the counsel to the Administrative Agent represents only the Administrative Agent and not the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

10.12. Successor Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrowers, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent or, if no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, forty-five days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intention to resign. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint, on behalf of the Borrowers and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders within thirty days after the resigning Administrative Agent’s giving notice of its intention to resign, then the resigning Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrowers and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Administrative Agent may at any time without the consent of the Borrowers or any Lender, appoint any of its Affiliates which is a commercial bank as a successor Administrative Agent hereunder. If the Administrative Agent has resigned and no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, the Lenders may perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and the Borrowers shall make all payments in respect of the Obligations to the applicable Lender and for all other purposes shall deal directly with the Lenders. No successor Administrative Agent shall be

deemed to be appointed hereunder until such successor Administrative Agent has accepted the appointment. Any such successor Administrative Agent shall be a commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least $100,000,000.

(b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (e) of the definition of Defaulting Lender, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and in consultation with the Borrowers, remove such Person as Administrative Agent if: (i) they deliver notice to such Person, (ii) they appoint a successor, such appointment, absent the existence of an Event of Default, to require the consent of the Borrowers (not to be unreasonably withheld), and such successor to be a commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least $100,000,000 and (iii) the successor commercial bank appointed in accordance with clause (ii) accepts such appointment. For the avoidance of doubt, the removal of a Person serving as Administrative Agent by the Required Lenders pursuant to this Section 10.12(b) shall only be effective upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent, and the acceptance of such appointment by the successor Administrative Agent, in accordance with the previous sentence.

(c) Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Administrative Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the resignation of the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.12(a), or the effectiveness of the removal of the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.12(b), the resigning or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents. After the effectiveness of such resignation or removal of an Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Administrative Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event that there is a successor to the Administrative Agent by merger, or the Administrative Agent assigns its duties and obligations to an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 10.12, then the term “Prime Rate” as used in this Agreement shall mean the prime rate, base rate or other analogous rate of the new Administrative Agent.

10.13. Administrative Agent and Arranger Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Arranger, for their respective accounts, the fees agreed to by the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Arranger pursuant to that certain letter agreement dated June 22, 2011, or as otherwise agreed from time to time.

10.14. Delegation to Affiliates. The Borrowers and the Lenders agree that the Administrative Agent may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates. Any such Affiliate (and such Affiliate’s directors, officers, agents and employees) which performs duties in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver and other protective provisions to which the Administrative Agent is entitled under Articles IX and X.

10.15. Collateral Releases. The Lenders hereby empower and authorize the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver to the Borrower on their behalf any agreements,

documents or instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect any releases of Collateral which shall be permitted by the terms hereof or of any other Loan Document or which shall otherwise have been approved by the Required Lenders (or, if required by the terms of Section 8.3, all of the Lenders) in writing.

10.16. Co-Administrative Agents, Documentation Administrative Agent, Syndication Administrative Agent, etc. Neither any of the Lenders identified in this Agreement as a “co-agent” nor the Documentation Administrative Agent or the Syndication Administrative Agent shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to such Lenders as it makes with respect to the Administrative Agent in Section 10.11.

10.17. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrowers acknowledge and agree that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Company and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) the Borrowers have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrowers are capable of evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Company or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) no Lender has any obligation to the Company or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company and its Affiliates, and no Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Company or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrowers hereby waive and release any claims that it may have against each of the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

ARTICLE XI

SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS

11.1. Setoff. The Borrowers hereby grant each Lender a security interest in all deposits, credits and deposit accounts (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) of such Borrower with such Lender or any Affiliate of such Lender (the “Deposits”). In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under applicable law, if any Borrower becomes insolvent, however evidenced, or any Event of Default occurs, the Borrower authorizes each Lender to offset and apply all such Deposits toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender, whether or not the Obligations, or any part thereof, shall then be due and regardless of the existence or adequacy of any collateral, guaranty or any other security, right or remedy available to such Lender or the

Lenders. With respect to the Foreign Borrowers such right of setoff is limited to its Foreign Borrower Obligations.

11.2. Ratable Payments. If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Outstanding Credit Exposure (other than payments received pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure. If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.

ARTICLE XII

BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

12.1. Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrowers shall not have the right to assign their rights or obligations under the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each Lender, (ii) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 12.3, and (iii) any transfer by Participation must be made in compliance with Section 12.2. Any attempted assignment or transfer by any party not made in compliance with this Section 12.1 shall be null and void, unless such attempted assignment or transfer is treated as a Participation in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that clause (ii) of this Section 12.1 relates only to absolute assignments and this Section 12.1 does not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, (x) any pledge or assignment by any Lender of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to a Federal Reserve Bank or (y) in the case of a Lender which is a Fund, any pledge or assignment of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment creating a security interest shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder unless and until the parties thereto have complied with the provisions of Section 12.3. The Administrative Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such Person complies with Section 12.3; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may in its discretion (but shall not be required to) follow instructions from the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note to direct payments relating to such Loan or Note to another Person. Any assignee of the rights to any Loan or any Note agrees by acceptance of such assignment to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of the rights to any Loan (whether or not a Note has been issued in evidence thereof), shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder or assignee of the rights to such Loan.

12.2. Participations.

12.2.1. Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any Outstanding Credit Exposure owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the owner of its Outstanding Credit Exposure and the holder of any Note issued to it in evidence thereof for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrowers under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents.

12.2.2. Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents provided that each such Lender may agree in its participation agreement with its Participant that such Lender will not vote to approve any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Outstanding Credit Exposure or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which would require consent of all of the Lenders pursuant to the terms of Section 8.3 or of any other Loan Document.

12.2.3. Benefit of Certain Provisions. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the Loan Documents, provided that each Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each Participant. The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1, agrees to share with each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 11.2 as if each Participant were a Lender. The Borrowers further agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.5, 9.6 and 9.10 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.3, provided that (i) a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 than the Lender who sold the participating interest to such Participant would have received had it retained such interest for its own account, unless the sale of such interest to such Participant is made with the prior written consent of the Borrowers, and (ii) any Participant not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof agrees to comply with the provisions of Section 3.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender.

12.3. Assignments.

12.3.1. Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (“Purchasers”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Such assignment shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit C or in such

other form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent as may be agreed to by the parties thereto. Each such assignment with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund shall either be in an amount equal to the entire applicable Commitment and Outstanding Credit Exposure of the assigning Lender or (unless each of the Company and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents) be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000. The amount of the assignment shall be based on the Commitment or Outstanding Credit Exposure (if the Commitment has been terminated) subject to the assignment, determined as of the date of such assignment or as of the “Trade Date,” if the “Trade Date” is specified in the assignment.

12.3.2. Consents. The consent of the Company shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective unless the Purchaser is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, provided that the consent of the Company shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided further that the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof. The consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective unless the Purchaser is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund. The consent of the LC Issuer shall be required prior to an assignment of a Revolving Commitment becoming effective unless the Purchaser is a Lender with a Revolving Commitment. Any consent required under this Section 12.3.2 shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

12.3.3. Effect; Effective Date. Upon (i) delivery to the Administrative Agent of an assignment, together with any consents required by Sections 12.3.1 and 12.3.2, and (ii) payment of a $3,500 fee to the Administrative Agent for processing such assignment (unless such fee is waived by the Administrative Agent), such assignment shall become effective on the effective date specified in such assignment. The assignment shall contain a representation by the Purchaser to the effect that none of the consideration used to make the purchase of the Commitment and Outstanding Credit Exposure under the applicable assignment agreement constitutes “plan assets” as defined under ERISA and that the rights and interests of the Purchaser in and under the Loan Documents will not be “plan assets” under ERISA. On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and any other Loan Document executed by or on behalf of the Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party thereto, and the transferor Lender shall be released with respect to the Commitment and Outstanding Credit Exposure assigned to such Purchaser without any further consent or action by the Borrowers, the Lenders or the Administrative Agent. In the case of an assignment covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of, and subject to, those provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents which survive payment of the Obligations and termination of the applicable agreement. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.3 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 12.2. Upon the consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 12.3.3, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall, if the transferor Lender or the Purchaser desires that its Loans be evidenced by Notes, make appropriate arrangements so

that new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their respective Commitments, as adjusted pursuant to such assignment, and upon return and cancellation of any existing Notes, as applicable.

12.3.4. Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States of America, a copy of each assignment agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender, and participations of each Lender in Facility LCs, pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

12.4. Dissemination of Information. The Borrowers authorize each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender’s possession concerning the creditworthiness of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including without limitation any information contained in any Reports; provided that each Transferee and prospective Transferee agrees to be bound by Section 9.11 of this Agreement.

12.5. Tax Treatment. If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any Transferee which is not incorporated under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 3.5(d).

EXHIBIT A

FORM OF OPINION

August , 2011

The Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer and the

Lenders who are parties to the Credit Agreement

described below.

Gentlemen/Ladies:

We are special counsel to Polaris Industries Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”), and certain of its Subsidiaries, and have represented the Company and such Subsidiaries in connection with its execution and delivery of a Credit Agreement dated as of August 18, 2011 (the “Agreement”) between the Company, any Foreign Borrower (as defined in the Agreement) that hereafter becomes a party thereto, the Lenders named therein, and U.S. Bank National Association, as Administrative Agent and as LC Issuer, providing for Credit Extensions in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding $350,000,000 at any one time outstanding. All capitalized terms used in this opinion and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings attributed to them in the Agreement.

In rendering this opinion, we have examined executed copies of the following documents:

(a)

the Agreement, together with the schedules and exhibits thereto;

(b)

the Notes;

(c)

the Guaranty; and

(d)

the Intercreditor Agreement.

The documents referenced in (a), (b), (c), and (d) above may be referred to collectively herein as the “Loan Documents” and individually as a “Loan Document.”

In addition, we have examined such documents, reviewed such questions of law and received such information from officers and representatives of the Loan Parties as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion.

As to questions of fact material to our opinions, we have relied upon representations made in the Loan Documents and upon certificates of officers of the Loan Parties and of public officials (including, without limitation, those certificates delivered to others on the Effective Date). We have also assumed that there has been no relevant change or development between the dates as of which the information cited in the preceding sentence was given and the date of this letter and that information upon which we have relied is accurate and does not omit disclosures necessary to prevent such information from being misleading.

EXH. A-1

In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have also examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such corporate records, agreements, documents and other instruments, and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Loan Parties, and have made such inquiries of such officers and representatives, as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter set forth.

In making the examinations described above, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures (other than the signatures of the Loan Parties), the capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such documents. We have also assumed the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents by all parties thereto (other than the Loan Parties) and the binding effect of such documents on such parties.

Whenever our opinions expressed in this letter are based upon our knowledge of any particular information or about any information which has or has not come to our attention, such opinions are based entirely upon the knowledge at the time this letter is delivered on the part of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx and Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx, the attorneys in this firm who have represented the Loan Parties in connection with the Loan Documents. We have made no independent inquiry or investigation as to any facts or circumstances relevant to the opinions set forth herein. Furthermore, we hereby advise you that we have not regularly represented the Loan Parties with respect to litigation or regulatory matters and no inference as to our knowledge with respect to such matters should be drawn from the fact of our limited representation of the Company.

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the qualifications stated herein, we are of the opinion that:

l. The Company and each of its domestic Subsidiaries that is a Loan Party is a corporation, or limited liability company duly incorporated or organized, as the case may be, validly existing and (to the extent such concept applies to such entity) in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and has all requisite corporate or company authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted.

2. The execution and delivery by each Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and the performance by such Loan Party of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by proper corporate or company proceedings on the part of such Loan Party and will not:

(a) require any consent of such Loan Party’s shareholders or members (other than any such consent as has already been given and remains in full force and effect);

(b)(i) violate any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) violate, contravene or conflict with the Company’s or any of its Subsidiary’s articles or certificate of incorporation, articles or certificate of organization, by-laws, or operating or other

EXH. A-2

management agreement, as the case may be, or (iii) violate, contravene or conflict with the contractual provisions of or cause an event of default under the provisions of any indenture, instrument or agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or is subject, or by which it, or its Property, is bound; or

(c) result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien in, of or on the Property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any indenture, instrument or agreement binding upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

3. The Loan Documents to which the Company is a party have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.

4. The Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered by the Guarantors party thereto as of the date hereof and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each such Guarantor enforceable against each such Guarantor in accordance with its terms.

5. To the best of our knowledge, there is no litigation, arbitration, governmental investigation, proceeding or inquiry pending or threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6. No order, consent, adjudication, approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, or other action in respect of any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, which has not been obtained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, is required to be obtained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the borrowings under the Agreement, the payment and performance by the Company and its Subsidiaries of the Obligations, or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents.

The opinions expressed above are further subject to the following qualifications and limitations:

A. Our opinions set forth above, insofar as they relate to the enforceability of the Loan Documents, are subject to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other similar laws of general application relating to or affecting creditors’ rights (including, without limitation, preference and fraudulent conveyance or transfer laws).

B. The binding effect and enforceability of the Loan Documents and the availability of injunctive relief or other equitable remedies thereunder are subject to the effect of general principles of equity, including (without limitation) concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and similar doctrines affecting the enforceability of agreements generally (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in proceedings at law or in equity).

EXH. A-3

C. Minnesota Statutes §290.371, Subd. 4 provides that any corporation required to file a Notice of Business Activities Report does not have a cause of action upon which it may bring suit under Minnesota law unless the corporation has filed a Notice of Business Activities Report and provides that the use of the courts of the State of Minnesota for all contracts executed and all causes of action that arose before the end of any period for which a corporation failed to file a required report is precluded.

We are qualified to practice law only in the state of Minnesota and do not purport to be expert in the laws of any other state or any foreign country or political subdivision thereof. This opinion is limited to the laws of the state of Minnesota and to the Federal laws of the United States.

As to the enforcement of rights against any property or person, we express no opinion as to the enforceability of provisions of the Loan Documents to the extent they contain waivers by a party thereto of any right or remedies which may be constitutionally protected or protected at law or cumulative remedies to the extent such cumulative remedies purport to compensate or would have the effect of compensating the party entitled to the benefits thereof in an amount in excess of the benefit bargained for by such party. Further, our opinions in paragraphs 3 and 4 above do not mean that (i) any particular remedy is available upon a material default or (ii) every provision of each of the Loan Documents will be upheld or enforced in each or any circumstance by a court; it being understood that unenforceability of a particular provision and/or unavailability of a particular remedy should not materially interfere with the practical realization of the general substantive benefits intended to be afforded by the Loan Documents.

Our opinions are limited to the specific issues addressed and are limited in all respects to laws and facts existing on the date of this letter. We do not assume any obligation to provide you with any subsequent opinion by reason of any fact about which we did not have knowledge at that time, by reason of any change subsequent to that time of any law, other governmental requirement or interpretation thereof covered by any of our opinions or advice or for any other reason.

This letter is furnished only to the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer, the Lenders, the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders, and is solely for their benefit in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and the NPA; provided, however, our opinion may be relied upon by any Person who becomes a Lender under the Agreement pursuant to the terms of Section 2.25 or Section 12.3 of the Agreement or becomes a successor Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of the Agreement or successor Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. This opinion is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise relied upon by any other person or entity or, for any other purpose, without our prior written consent.

Very truly yours,

XXXXXX, XXXXXXXX AND XXXXXX, P.A.
