SECTION 2 AMOUNT AND TERMS OF COMMITMENTS.

2.1 Revolving Commitments.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans (together, the “Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding which, when added to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the sum of the then outstanding L/C Obligations and the then outstanding Swing Line Loans, does not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment then in effect. During the Revolving Commitment Period, the Borrower may use the Revolving Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Revolving Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.

(b) The Revolving Loans shall be made in Dollars and may from time to time be (i) Eurocurrency Loans, (ii) ABR Loans or (iii) a combination thereof, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with subsections 2.2 and 3.2; provided that no Revolving Loan shall be made as a Eurocurrency Loan after the day that is one month prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date.

(c) The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Revolving Lender made on or prior to the Closing Date or in connection with any assignment pursuant to subsection 10.6(b), in order to evidence such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loans, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Revolving Lender a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1, with appropriate insertions as to payee, date and principal amount (each, as amended, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, a “Revolving Note”), payable to such Revolving Lender and representing the obligation of the Borrower to pay the amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans made by such

-51-

Revolving Lender to the Borrower. Each Revolving Note shall (i) be dated the Closing Date, (ii) be stated to mature on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date and (iii) provide for the payment of interest in accordance with subsection 3.1.

2.2 Procedure for Revolving Loan Borrowing.

(a) The Borrower may borrow under the Revolving Commitments during the Revolving Commitment Period on any Business Day; provided that the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to (a) 1:00 p.m., New York City time, at least three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, if all or any part of the requested Revolving Loans are to be initially Eurocurrency Loans, or (b) 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the requested Borrowing Date, if all of the requested Revolving Loans are to be initially ABR Loans), in each case specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed, (ii) the requested Borrowing Date, (iii) whether the borrowing is to be of Eurocurrency Loans or ABR Loans or a combination thereof and (iv) if the borrowing is to be entirely or partly of Eurocurrency Loans, the respective amounts of each such Type of Loan and the respective lengths of the initial Interest Periods thereto. All Revolving Loans incurred and/or maintained during the first week following the Closing Date shall be incurred and/or maintained as ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans with a one week Interest Period applicable to Eurocurrency Loans. All Revolving Loans incurred and/or maintained until the earlier of the completion of syndication of the Facilities (as reasonably determined by the Other Representatives) or 90 days after the Closing Date shall be incurred and/or maintained as ABR Loans or as Eurocurrency Loans with a one-month Interest Period applicable to Eurocurrency Loans (with the first day of the first Interest Period therefor to commence on the date that is one week after the Closing Date).

(b) Each borrowing under the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount equal to (x) in the case of ABR Loans, except any ABR Loan to be used solely to pay a like amount of outstanding Reimbursement Obligations or Swing Line Loans, $2.0 million or a whole multiple of $1.0 million in excess thereof (or, if the then Available Revolving Commitments are (A) less than $2.0 million, $1.0 million or a whole multiple thereof or (B) less than $1.0 million, such lesser amount) and (y) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans $5.0 million or a whole multiple of $1.0 million in excess thereof. Upon receipt of any such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent specified in subsection 5.2, each Revolving Lender shall make the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing of Revolving Loans available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower identified in such notice at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in subsection 10.2 prior to 2:00 p.m. (or 10:00 a.m., in the case of the initial borrowing hereunder), New York City time, or at such other office of the Administrative Agent or at such other time as to which the Administrative Agent shall notify such Revolving Lender and the Borrower reasonably in advance of the Borrowing Date with respect thereto, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Such borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Revolving Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

2.3 Termination or Reduction of Revolving Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Lenders thereof), to terminate the Revolving Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans made on the effective date thereof, the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans then outstanding, when added to the sum of the then outstanding L/C Obligations,

-52-

would exceed the Revolving Commitments then in effect. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $10.0 million or a whole multiple of $1.0 million in excess thereof and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Commitments then in effect.

2.4 Swing Line Commitments.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender agrees to make swing line loans (individually, a “Swing Line Loan”; collectively, the “Swing Line Loans”) to the Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed $50.0 million; provided that at no time may the sum of the then outstanding Swing Line Loans, Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations exceed the Revolving Commitments then in effect. Amounts borrowed by the Borrower under this subsection 2.4 may be repaid and, through but excluding the Revolving Facility Maturity Date, reborrowed. All Swing Line Loans made to the Borrower shall be made in Dollars as ABR Loans and shall not be entitled to be converted into Eurocurrency Loans. The Borrower shall give the Swing Line Lender irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time) on the requested Borrowing Date specifying the amount of the requested Swing Line Loan, which shall be in a minimum amount of $100,000.00 or whole multiples of $50,000.00 in excess thereof. The proceeds of the Swing Line Loan will be made available by the Swing Line Lender to the Borrower at an office of the Swing Line Lender by crediting the account of the Borrower at such office with such proceeds in Dollars.

(b) The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by the Swing Line Lender made on or prior to the Closing Date or in connection with any assignment pursuant to subsection 10.6(b), in order to evidence the Swing Line Loans the Borrower will execute and deliver to the Swing Line Lender a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2, with appropriate insertions (as the same may be amended, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Swing Line Note”), payable to the order of the Swing Line Lender and representing the obligation of the Borrower to pay the amount of the Swing Line Commitment or, if less, the unpaid principal amount of the Swing Line Loans made to the Borrower, with interest thereon as prescribed in subsection 3.1. The Swing Line Note shall (i) be dated the Closing Date, (ii) be stated to mature on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date and (iii) provide for the payment of interest in accordance with subsection 3.1.

(c) The Swing Line Lender, at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, may, and, at any time as there shall be a Swing Line Loan outstanding for more than seven Business Days, the Swing Line Lender shall, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs and authorizes the Swing Line Lender to act on its behalf), request (provided that such request shall be deemed to have been automatically made upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under subsection 8(f)) each Revolving Lender, including the Swing Line Lender, to make a Revolving Loan as an ABR Loan in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the principal amount of all Swing Line Loans ( a “Mandatory Revolving Loan Borrowing”) in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the principal amount of all of the Swing Line Loans (collectively, the “Refunded Swing Line Loans”) outstanding on the date such notice is given; provided that the provisions of this subsection shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower to prepay Swing Line Loans in accordance with the provisions of subsection 2.4(d). Unless the Revolving Commitments shall have expired or terminated (in which event the procedures of paragraph (d) of this subsection 2.4 shall apply), each Revolving Lender hereby agrees to make the proceeds of its Revolving Loan, including any Eurocurrency Loan, available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the office of the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, in funds immediately available on the Business Day next succeeding the date such notice is given notwithstanding (i) that the amount of the Mandatory Revolving Loan Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for Revolving Loans otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 5 are then satisfied, (iii)

-53-

whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (iv) the date of such Mandatory Revolving Loan Borrowing and (v) the amount of the Revolving Commitment of such, or any other, Revolving Lender at such time. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans, including any Eurocurrency Loan, shall be immediately applied to repay the Refunded Swing Line Loans.

(d) If the Revolving Commitments shall expire or terminate at any time while Swing Line Loans are outstanding, each Revolving Lender shall, at the option of the Swing Line Lender, exercised reasonably, either (i) notwithstanding the expiration or termination of the Revolving Commitments, make a Revolving Loan as an ABR Loan (which Revolving Loan shall be deemed a “Revolving Loan” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) or (ii) purchase an undivided participating interest in such Swing Line Loans, in either case in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage determined on the date of, and immediately prior to, expiration or termination of the Revolving Commitments of the aggregate principal amount of such Swing Line Loans; provided that, in the event that any Mandatory Revolving Loan Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under any bankruptcy, reorganization, dissolution, insolvency, receivership, administration or liquidation or similar law with respect to the Borrower), then each Revolving Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date the Mandatory Revolving Loan Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from the Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Swing Line Lender such participations in such outstanding Swing Line Loans as shall be necessary to cause such Revolving Lenders to share in such Swing Line Loans ratably based upon their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages; provided, further, that (x) all interest payable on the Swing Line Loans shall be for the account of the Swing Line Lender until the date as of which the respective participation is required to be purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased participation, shall be payable to the participant from and after such date and (y) at the time any purchase of participations pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing Revolving Lender shall be required to pay the Swing Line Lender interest on the principal amount of the participation purchased for each day from and including the day upon which the Mandatory Revolving Loan Borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such participation, at the rate otherwise applicable to Revolving Loans made as ABR Loans. Each Revolving Lender will make the proceeds of any Revolving Loan made pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the office of the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, in funds immediately available on the Business Day next succeeding the date on which the Revolving Commitments expire or terminate. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be immediately applied to repay the Swing Line Loans outstanding on the date of termination or expiration of the Revolving Commitments. In the event that the Revolving Lenders purchase undivided participating interests pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph (d), each Revolving Lender shall immediately transfer to the Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Swing Line Lender will deliver to such Lender a Swing Line Loan Participation Certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount.

(e) Whenever, at any time after the Swing Line Lender has received from any Revolving Lender such Revolving Lender’s participating interest in a Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account thereof (whether directly from the Borrower in respect of such Swing Line Loan or otherwise, including proceeds of Collateral applied thereto by the Swing Line Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Swing Line Lender will, if such payment is received prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, distribute to such Revolving Lender its pro rata share thereof prior to the end of such Business Day and otherwise, the Swing Line Lender will distribute such payment on the next succeeding Business Day (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Line Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Lender will return to the Swing Line Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Swing Line Lender to it.

-54-

(f) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make the Revolving Loans and to purchase participating interests with respect to Swing Line Loans in accordance with subsections 2.4(c) and (d) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving Lender or the Borrower may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default; (iii) any adverse change in condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Lender; (v) any inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in this Agreement on the date upon which such Revolving Loan is to be made or participating interest is to be purchased; or (vi) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

2.5 Term Loans.

(a) Term Loans Generally. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Term Loan Lender severally agrees to make, in Dollars, in a single draw on the Closing Date, one or more term loans (each, a “Term Loan”) to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the amount set forth opposite such Term Loan Lender’s name in Schedule A under the heading “Term Loan Commitment,” as such amount may be adjusted or reduced pursuant to the terms hereof.

(b) Term Loans. The Term Loans:

2.9 Letters of Credit.

(a) L/C Commitment.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in subsection 2.9(d), agrees to issue letters of credit (the letters of credit issued on and after the Closing Date pursuant to this Section 2.9, the “Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period but in no event later than the third Business day prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Issuing Lender; provided that the Issuing Lender shall not issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit would exceed $100.0 million or (ii) the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit of all the Lenders would exceed the Revolving Commitments of all the Lenders then in effect. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars and shall be either (A) a standby letter of credit issued to support obligations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, contingent or otherwise, which finance the working capital and business needs of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries incurred in the ordinary course of business (a “Standby Letter of Credit”) or (B) a commercial letter of credit in respect of the purchase of goods or services by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business (a “Commercial Letter of Credit”), and (ii) unless otherwise agreed by the Issuing Lender, mature not more than twelve months after the date of issuance (automatically renewable annually thereafter or for such longer period of time as may be agreed by the relevant Issuing Lender) and, in any event no later than the third Business Day prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date (except to the extent cash collateralized or backstopped pursuant to arrangements reasonably acceptable to the relevant Issuing Lender). Each Letter of Credit shall be deemed to constitute a utilization of the Revolving Commitments and shall be participated in (as more fully described in following subsection 2.9(d)) by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages. All Letters of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars.

(ii) Unless otherwise agreed by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower at the time of issuance, each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the Uniform Customs and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of New York. All Letters of Credit shall be issued on a sight basis only.

(iii) The Issuing Lender shall not at any time issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law.

(b) Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(i) The Borrower may from time to time request during the Revolving Commitment Period but in no event later than the third Business Day prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date that

-57-

the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent, at their respective addresses for notices specified herein, a Letter of Credit Request therefor (completed to the reasonable satisfaction of the Issuing Lender), and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Issuing Lender may reasonably request. Upon receipt of any Letter of Credit Request, the Issuing Lender shall (i) confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Request from the Borrower and, if not so received, the Issuing Lender shall provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof and (ii) process such Letter of Credit Request and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and, unless notified by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in subsection 5.2 shall not then be satisfied, shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall the Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Letter of Credit Request therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower promptly following the issuance thereof. Promptly after the issuance or amendment of any Standby Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in writing, of such issuance or amendment and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such issuance or amendment. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders, in writing, of such issuance or amendment, and if so requested by a Lender, the Administrative Agent shall provide to such Lender copies of such issuance or amendment. With regard to Commercial Letters of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall on the first Business Day of each week provide the Administrative Agent, by facsimile, with a report detailing the aggregate daily outstanding Commercial Letters of Credit during the previous week.

(ii) The making of each request for a Letter of Credit by the Borrower shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, subsection 2.9(a). Unless the Issuing Lender has received notice from the Required Lenders before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5 are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate subsection 2.9(a), then the Issuing Lender may issue the requested Letter of Credit in accordance with the Issuing Lender’s usual and customary practices.

(i) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants, a letter of credit commission with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, computed for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit through to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect for Eurocurrency Loans that are Revolving Loans calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed, of the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit minus the L/C Facing Fee, payable on the last Business Day of each quarter in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date with respect to such Letter of Credit and on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date or such earlier date as the Revolving Commitments shall terminate as provided herein. Such commission shall be payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders to be shared ratably among them in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Issuing Lender a fee equal to 1/8 of 1.0% per annum (but in no event less than $500.00 per annum for each Letter of Credit) of the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (the “L/C Facing Fee”), payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date with respect to

-58-

such Letter of Credit and on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date or such other date as the Revolving Commitments shall terminate. Such commissions and fees shall be nonrefundable. Such fees and commissions shall be payable in Dollars.

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

(iii) The Administrative Agent shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, distribute to the Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants all commissions and fees received by the Administrative Agent for their respective accounts pursuant to this subsection 2.9(c).

(d) L/C Participations.

(i) The Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Commitment Percentage (determined on the date of issuance of the relevant Letter of Credit) in the Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued or continued hereunder, the amount of each draft paid by the Issuing Lender thereunder and the obligations of the Loan Parties under this Agreement with respect thereto (although Letter of Credit fees and commissions shall be payable directly to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender and L/C Participants, as provided in subsection 2.9(c), and the L/C Participants shall have no right to receive any portion of any facing fees with respect to any such Letters of Credit) and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with the Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit in accordance with subsection 2.9(e)(i), such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender upon demand at the Administrative Agent’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed; provided that nothing in this paragraph shall relieve the Issuing Lender of any liability resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender, or otherwise affect any defense or other right that any L/C Participant may have as a result of such gross negligence or willful misconduct. All calculations of the L/C Participants’ Revolving Commitment Percentages shall be made from time to time by the Administrative Agent, which calculations shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(ii) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender on demand by the Issuing Lender pursuant to subsection 2.9(d)(i) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such demand is made, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of such amount, times the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender, times a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to subsection 2.9(d)(i) is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days

-59-

after the date such payment is due, the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to Revolving Loans maintained as ABR Loans hereunder. A certificate of the Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection (which shall include calculations of any such amounts in reasonable detail) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(iii) Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received through the Administrative Agent from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with subsection 2.9(d)(i), the Issuing Lender receives through the Administrative Agent any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit or otherwise, including proceeds of Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent or by the Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Administrative Agent will, if such payment is received prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on a Business Day, distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof prior to the end of such Business Day and otherwise the Administrative Agent will distribute such payment on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by the Issuing Lender through the Administrative Agent shall be required to be returned by the Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Issuing Lender through the Administrative Agent the portion thereof previously distributed by the Administrative Agent to it.

(e) Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. The Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse the Issuing Lender (through the Administrative Agent) upon receipt by the Borrower of notice from the Issuing Lender of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit issued on its behalf and paid by the Issuing Lender, for the amount of such draft so paid and any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses reasonably incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment. Each such payment shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein and in immediately available funds, on the date which is two Business Days after the Borrower receives such notice.

(ii) Interest shall be payable on any and all amounts remaining unpaid by the Borrower under this subsection 2.9 (i) from the date the draft presented under the affected Letter of Credit is paid to the date on which the Borrower is required to pay such amounts pursuant to paragraph (a) above at the rate which would then be payable on any outstanding ABR Loans that are Revolving Loans and (ii) thereafter until payment in full at the rate which would be payable on any outstanding ABR Loans that are Revolving Loans which were then overdue.

(f) Obligations Absolute.

(i) The Borrower’s obligations under this subsection 2.9 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which any of them may have or have had against the Issuing Lender, any L/C Participant or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit; provided that this paragraph shall not relieve the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant of any liability resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender or such L/C Participant, or otherwise affect any defense or other right that the Loan Parties may have as a result of any such gross negligence or willful misconduct.

-60-

(ii) The Borrower agrees with the Issuing Lender that the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under subsection 2.9(e) shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee; provided that this paragraph shall not relieve the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant of any liability resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender or such L/C Participant, or otherwise affect any defense or other right that the Loan Parties may have as a result of any such gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(iii) Neither the Issuing Lender nor any L/C Participant shall 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 Letter of Credit, except with respect to errors or omissions caused by such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(iv) The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the UCC, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to the Borrower.

(g) Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower in respect of any Letter of Credit in connection with any draft presented for payment under such Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are in conformity with such Letter of Credit; provided that this paragraph shall not relieve the Issuing Lender of any liability resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender, or otherwise affect any defense or other right that the Loan Parties may have as a result of any such gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(h) Letter of Credit Request. To the extent that any provision of any Letter of Credit Request related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this subsection 2.9, the provisions of this subsection 2.9 shall apply.

(i) Additional Issuing Lender. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and such Lender, designate one or more additional Lenders to act as an issuing lender under the terms of this Agreement. Any Lender designated as an issuing lender pursuant to this subsection 2.9(i) shall be deemed to be an “Issuing Lender” (in addition to being a Lender) in respect of Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Lender, and, with respect to such Letters of Credit, such term shall thereafter apply to the other Issuing Lender or Issuing Lenders and such Lender. Any such additional Issuing Lender may resign as Issuing Lender (with respect to any future issuances, including renewals) upon 10 Business Days’ notice to the Lenders.

(j) Replacement of Issuing Lender. Any Issuing Lender may be replaced at any time (x) by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Lender and the successor Issuing Lender or (y) by the Borrower, for any reason, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Administrative Agent shall notify

-61-

the Lenders of any such replacement of such Issuing Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of such replaced Issuing Lender pursuant to subsection 2.9(c). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (1) the successor Issuing Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of such replaced Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (2) references herein to the term “Issuing Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Lender, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Lenders, as the context shall require. After the replacement of any Issuing Lender hereunder, the replaced Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of any Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or to amend or extend any previously issued Letters of Credit.

SECTION 3 GENERAL PROVISIONS.

(c) If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan, (ii) any interest payable thereon or (iii) any commitment fee, letter of credit commission, letter of credit fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is (w) in the case of overdue principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the relevant foregoing provisions of this subsection 3.1 plus 2.00%, (x) in the case of any Reimbursement Obligation, at the rate applicable under subsection 2.9(e)(ii) without giving effect to the proviso thereto plus 2.00%, (y) in the case of overdue interest, the rate that would be otherwise applicable to principal of the related Loan or Reimbursement Obligation pursuant to the relevant foregoing provisions of this subsection 3.1 (other than clauses (w) and (x) above) plus 2.00% and (z) in the case of other amounts, the rate described in paragraph (b) of this subsection 3.1 for ABR Loans plus 2.00%, in each case from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this subsection 3.1 shall be payable from time to time on demand.

(e) It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply strictly with applicable usury laws; accordingly, it is stipulated and agreed that the aggregate of all amounts which constitute interest under applicable usury laws, whether contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or received, in connection with the indebtedness evidenced by this Agreement or any Notes, or any other document relating or referring hereto or thereto, now or hereafter existing, shall never exceed under any circumstance whatsoever the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable usury laws.

3.2 Conversion and Continuation Options.

(a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert outstanding Loans from Eurocurrency Loans to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days’ prior

-62-

irrevocable notice of such election, provided that any such conversion of Eurocurrency Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert outstanding Loans from ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election. Any such notice of conversion to Eurocurrency Loans shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods therefor. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender thereof. All or any part of outstanding Eurocurrency Loans and ABR Loans may be converted as provided herein, provided that (i) (unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent) no Loan may be converted into a Eurocurrency Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has given notice to the Borrower that no such conversions may be made and (ii) no Loan may be converted into a Eurocurrency Loan after the date that is one month prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date (in the case of conversions of Revolving Loans) or the Term Loan Maturity Date (in the case of conversions of Term Loans).

(b) Any Eurocurrency Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving notice to the Administrative Agent of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loan, determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in subsection 1.1, provided that no Eurocurrency Loan may be continued as such (i) (unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent) when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has given notice to the Borrower that no such continuations may be made or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date (in the case of continuations of Revolving Loans) or the Term Loan Maturity Date (in the case of continuations of Term Loans), and provided, further, that, if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this subsection 3.2(b) or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, such Eurocurrency Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice of continuation pursuant to this subsection 3.2(b), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender thereof.

3.3 Minimum Amounts of Sets. All borrowings, conversions and continuations of Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurocurrency Loans comprising each Set shall be equal to $5.0 million or a whole multiple of $1.0 million in excess thereof, and so that there shall not be more than 15 Sets at any one time outstanding.

3.4 Optional and Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans made to it and the Reimbursement Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit issued for its account, in whole or in part, subject to subsection 3.12, without premium or penalty, upon at least three Business Days’ irrevocable notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (in the case of Eurocurrency Loans), and at least one Business Day’s irrevocable notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (in the case of (x) ABR Loans other than Swing Line Loans and (y) Reimbursement Obligations) or same day irrevocable notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (in the case of Swing Line Loans). Such notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is (i) of Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans, or a combination thereof, and (ii) of Eurocurrency Loans, ABR Loans or a combination thereof, and, if a combination thereof, the principal amount allocable to each and, in the case of any prepayment of Reimbursement Obligations, the date and amount of prepayment, the identity of the applicable Letter of Credit or Letters of Credit and the amount allocable to each of such Reimbursement Obligations. Upon the receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and

-63-

payable on the date specified therein, together with (if a Eurocurrency Loan is prepaid other than at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto) any amounts payable pursuant to subsection 3.12 and accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Loans and Reimbursement Obligations pursuant to this subsection 3.4(a) shall be applied (A) in the case of partial prepayments of Term Loans, to the respective installments of principal of such Term Loans in such order as the Borrower may direct and (B) in the case of partial prepayments of other Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, first, to payment of the Swing Line Loans then outstanding, second, to payment of the Revolving Loans then outstanding, third, to payment of any Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding and, last, to cash collateralize any outstanding L/C Obligation on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Partial prepayments pursuant to this subsection 3.4(a) shall be in multiples of $1.0 million; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Loan may be prepaid in its entirety. The Borrower shall prepay all Swing Line Loans then outstanding simultaneously with each borrowing of Revolving Loans.

(b) On or before the date that is fifteen Business Days following the 90th day after the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower ending on or after February 2, 2009 (each, an “ECF Payment Date”), the Borrower shall, in accordance with subsections 3.4(d) and (e), prepay the Term Loans in an amount equal to (A) (x) the ECF Percentage of (i) the Borrower’s Excess Cash Flow for the immediately preceding fiscal year minus (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans prepaid pursuant to subsection 3.4(a), and any loans under the Revolving Facility and the ABL Facility prepaid to the extent accompanied by a corresponding permanent commitment reduction under such facility, in each case during such fiscal year excluding prepayments funded with proceeds from the Incurrence of long-term Indebtedness, minus (y) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans prepaid pursuant to subsection 3.4(a), and any loans under the Revolving Facility and the ABL Facility prepaid to the extent accompanied by a corresponding permanent commitment reduction under such facility, in each case since the end of such fiscal year and on or prior to such ECF Payment Date, excluding prepayments funded with proceeds from the Incurrence of long-term Indebtedness (in the case of this clause (y), without duplication of any amount thereof previously deducted in any calculation pursuant to this subsection 3.4(b) for any prior ECF Payment Date) (the amount described in this clause (A), the “ECF Prepayment Amount”) minus (B) the portion of such ECF Prepayment Amount applied (to the extent the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary is required by the terms thereof) to prepay, repay or purchase other Permitted Additional Indebtedness on a pro rata basis with the Term Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this subsection 3.4(b), proceeds from the Incurrence of long-term Indebtedness shall not be deemed to include proceeds from the Incurrence of Indebtedness under the Revolving Facility, the ABL Facility, any Special Purpose Financing or any other revolving credit or working capital financing permitted to be incurred pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(c) The Borrower shall, in accordance with subsections 3.4(d) and (e), prepay the Term Loans to the extent required by subsection 7.4(b)(ii) (subject to subsection 7.4(c)).

(d) Prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to subsections 3.4(b) and (c) shall be applied to installments of principal thereof pursuant to subsection 2.6(b) in forward order of maturity.

(e) (i) The Borrower shall give notice to the Administrative Agent of any mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans (x) pursuant to subsection 3.4(b), ten Business Days prior to the date on which such payment is due and (y) pursuant to subsection 3.4(c), within five Business Days upon becoming obligated to make such prepayment. Such notice shall state that the Borrower is offering to make such mandatory prepayment (x) on a date that is ten Business Days after the date of such notice in the case of any prepayment pursuant to subsection 3.4(b), or (y) on or before the date specified in subsection 3.4(c), in the case of a prepayment pursuant to subsection 3.4(c) (any such date of prepayment, a “Prepayment Date”). Once given, such notice shall be irrevocable and all amounts subject to such notice shall be due and payable on the relevant Prepayment Date as required by subsection 3.4 (except as otherwise

-64-

provided in the last sentence of this subsection 3.4(e)). Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall immediately give notice to each Lender of the prepayment and the relevant Prepayment Date. In the case of any prepayment pursuant to subsection 3.4(b) or (c), each Lender may (in its sole discretion) elect to decline any such prepayment by giving notice of such election in writing to the Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date that is three Business Days prior to the Prepayment Date. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall immediately notify the Borrower of such election. Any amount so declined by any Lender may, at the option of the Borrower, be applied to pay or prepay the Term Loans of Lenders not declining such prepayment, in the manner described in subsection 3.4(d), or other obligations under the other Senior Credit Facilities, or otherwise be retained by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries or applied by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in any manner not inconsistent with this Agreement, including subsection 7.4(b).

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in subsection 3.4(e)(i), until the THD Guarantee Release Date, the Lenders shall not have the right to decline any prepayment of the Term Loans required pursuant to subsections 3.4(b) or 3.4(c), and the Borrower’s notice under subsection 3.4(e)(i) shall, instead of making an offer to make a prepayment, state the date that the applicable prepayment shall be made (which shall be the same date such prepayment would otherwise be required to be made pursuant to subsection 3.4(e)(i)), unless, with respect to any such prepayment, THD consents to providing the Lenders the right to decline such prepayment.

(f) Amounts prepaid on account of Term Loans pursuant to subsection 3.4(a), (b) or (c) may not be reborrowed.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 3.4, if at any time any prepayment of any Eurocurrency Loans pursuant to subsection 3.4(a), (b) or (c) would result, after giving effect to the procedures set forth in this Agreement, in the Borrower incurring breakage costs under subsection 3.12 as a result of such Eurocurrency Loans being prepaid other than on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, then the Borrower may, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in its sole discretion, initially (i) deposit a portion (up to 100.0%) of the amounts that otherwise would have been paid in respect of such Eurocurrency Loans with the Administrative Agent (which deposit must be equal in amount to the amount of such Eurocurrency Loans not immediately prepaid), to be held as security for the obligations of the Borrower to make such prepayment pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, with such cash collateral to be directly applied upon the first occurrence thereafter of the last day of an Interest Period with respect to such Eurocurrency Loans (or such earlier date or dates as shall be requested by the Borrower) or (ii) make a prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with subsection 3.4(a) with an amount equal to a portion (up to 100.0%) of the amounts that otherwise would have been paid in respect of such Eurocurrency Loans (which prepayment, together with any deposits pursuant to clause (i) above, must be equal in amount to the amount of such Eurocurrency Loans not immediately prepaid); provided that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Borrower may request any Extension of Credit under the Revolving Commitments that would reduce the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments to an amount that is less than the amount of such prepayment until the related portion of such Eurocurrency Loans have been prepaid upon the first occurrence thereafter of the last day of an Interest Period with respect to such Eurocurrency Loans; provided that, in the case of either clause (i) or (ii), such unpaid Eurocurrency Loans shall continue to bear interest in accordance with subsection 3.1 until such unpaid Eurocurrency Loans or the related portion of such Eurocurrency Loans have or has been prepaid.

-65-

3.5 Commitment Fees; Administrative Agent’s Fees; Other Fees.

(a) Commitment Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Revolving Lender, a commitment fee for the period from and including the first day of the Revolving Commitment Period to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date, computed based on the Commitment Fee Percentage on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date or such earlier date as the Revolving Commitments shall terminate as provided herein, commencing on December 31, 2007.

(b) Administrative Agent Fees; Other Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent and the Other Representatives any fees in the amounts and on the dates previously agreed to in writing by Holding Parent or the Borrower, the Other Representatives and the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement

3.6 Computation of Interest and Fees.

(a) Interest (other than interest based on the Prime Rate) shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed; and commitment fees and any other fees and interest based on the Prime Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-day year, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the affected Lenders of each determination of a Eurocurrency Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the affected Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower or any Lender, deliver to the Borrower or such Lender a statement showing in reasonable detail the calculations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to subsection 3.1, excluding any Eurocurrency Base Rate which is based upon the BBA LIBOR Rates Page and any ABR Loan which is based upon the Prime Rate.

3.7 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan (the “Affected Rate”) for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (a) any Eurocurrency Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based on the Affected Rate requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (b) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to or continued as Eurocurrency Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Rate shall be converted to or continued as ABR Loans, (c) as to the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s cost of funding such Eurocurrency Loans or as reasonably determined by such Lender, plus the Applicable Margin hereunder and (d) any outstanding Eurocurrency Loans that are Revolving Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to or continued as Eurocurrency Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Rate and that are not otherwise permitted to be

-66-

converted to or continued as ABR Loans by subsection 3.2 shall, upon demand by the Lenders the Revolving Commitment Percentage of which aggregate greater than 50.0%, be immediately repaid by the Borrower on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto together with accrued interest thereon or otherwise, at the option of the Borrower, shall remain outstanding and bear interest at a rate which reflects, as to each of the Lenders, such Lender’s cost of funding such Eurocurrency Loans, as reasonably determined by such Lender, plus the Applicable Margin hereunder. If any such repayment occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect to such affected Eurocurrency Loan, the Borrower shall pay to each of the Lenders such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to subsection 3.12. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurocurrency Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Rate shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Rate.

3.8 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

(a) Each borrowing of Revolving Loans (other than Swing Line Loans) by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder shall be made, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee in respect of the Revolving Commitments hereunder shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent, and any reduction of the Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent, pro rata according to the relevant Revolving Commitment Percentages of the Revolving Lenders. Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on any Loans shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans then held by the respective Lenders. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees, Reimbursement Obligations or otherwise, shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders holding the relevant Loans or the L/C Participants, as the case may be, at the Administrative Agent’s office specified in subsection 10.2, and shall be made in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Payments received by the Administrative Agent after such time shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to such Lenders, if any such payment is received prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, in like funds as received prior to the end of such Business Day, and otherwise the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to such Lenders on the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurocurrency Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment on a Eurocurrency Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension) unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender or the relevant Issuing Lender hereunder that such the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the Issuing Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate as quoted by the Administrative Agent.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its Revolving Commitment Percentage or Term Credit Percentage, as the case may be, of such borrowing available to such Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower in respect of such borrowing a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate as quoted by the Administrative Agent, or another bank of recognized standing reasonably selected by the Administrative Agent, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection 3.8(b) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage or Term Credit Percentage, as the case may be, of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, (x) the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of the failure of such Lender to make such amount available to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans hereunder, on demand, from the Borrower and (y) then the Borrower may, without waiving or limiting any rights or remedies it may have against such Lender hereunder or under applicable law or otherwise, borrow a like amount on an unsecured basis from any commercial bank for a period ending on the date upon which such Lender does in fact make such borrowing available; provided that at the time such borrowing is made and at all times while such amount is outstanding the Borrower would be permitted to borrow such amount pursuant to subsection 2.1 and/or take any action permitted by the following subsection 3.8(c).

(i) If at any time a Revolving Lender shall not make a Revolving Loan required to be made by it hereunder (any such Lender, a “Defaulting Lender”), the Borrower shall have the right to seek one or more Persons reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to each become a substitute Revolving Lender and assume all or part of the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender. In such event, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and any such substitute Revolving Lender shall execute and deliver, and such Defaulting Lender shall thereupon be deemed to have executed and delivered, an appropriately completed Assignment and Acceptance to effect such substitution.

(ii) In determining the Required Lenders, any Lender that at the time is a Defaulting Lender (and the Revolving Loans and/or Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender) shall be excluded and disregarded. No commitment fee shall accrue for the account of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.

(iii) If at any time the Borrower shall be required to make any payment under any Loan Document to or for the account of a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower, so long as it is then permitted to borrow Revolving Loans hereunder, may set off and otherwise apply its obligation to make such payment against the obligation of such Defaulting Lender to make such Defaulted Loan. In such event, the amount so set off and otherwise applied shall be deemed to constitute a Revolving Loan by such Defaulting Lender made on the date of such set-off and included within any borrowing of Revolving Loans as the Administrative Agent may reasonably determine.

-68-

(iv) If, with respect to any Defaulting Lender, which for the purposes of this subsection 3.8(c)(iv), shall include any Lender that has taken any action or become the subject of any action or proceeding of a type described in subsection 8(f), the Borrower shall be required to pay any amount under any Loan Document to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower, so long as it is then permitted to borrow Revolving Loans hereunder, may satisfy such payment obligation by paying such amount to the Administrative Agent, to be (to the extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent not utilized by the Administrative Agent to satisfy obligations of the Defaulting Lender owing to it) held by the Administrative Agent in escrow pursuant to its standard terms (including as to the earning of interest), and applied (together with any accrued interest) by it from time to time to make any Revolving Loans or other payments as and when required to be made by such Defaulting Lender hereunder.

3.9 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof occurring after the Closing Date shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurocurrency Loans as contemplated by this Agreement (“Affected Loans”), (a) such Lender shall promptly give written notice of such circumstances to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be withdrawn whenever such circumstances no longer exist), (b) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Affected Loans, continue Affected Loans as such and convert an ABR Loan to an Affected Loan shall forthwith be cancelled and, until such time as it shall no longer be unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain such Affected Loans, such Lender shall then have a commitment only to make an ABR Loan (or a Swing Line Loan) when an Affected Loan is requested and (c) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Affected Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of an Affected Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to subsection 3.12.

3.10 Requirements of Law.

(a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof applicable to any Lender or Issuing Lender, or compliance by any Lender or Issuing Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, in each case made subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if later, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender or such Issuing Lender becomes an Issuing Lender):

(i) shall subject such Lender or Issuing Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan, Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Request made or maintained by it or its obligation to make or maintain Eurocurrency Loans or issue any Letter of Credit, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or Issuing Lender in respect thereof in each case, except for Non-Excluded Taxes and taxes measured by or imposed upon the overall net income, or franchise taxes, or taxes measured by or imposed upon overall capital or net worth, or branch taxes (in the case of such capital, net worth or branch taxes, imposed in lieu of such net income tax), of such Lender or Issuing Lender or its applicable lending office, branch, or any affiliate thereof;

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account

-69-

of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender or Issuing Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurocurrency Rate hereunder; or

(iii) shall impose on such Lender or Issuing Lender any other condition (excluding any tax of any kind whatsoever);

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender or Issuing Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurocurrency Loans or participating in Letters of Credit or the cost to an Issuing Lender of issuing or maintaining Letters of Credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, upon notice to the Borrower from such Lender or Issuing Lender, through the Administrative Agent, in accordance herewith, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender or Issuing Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable with respect to such Eurocurrency Loans or Letters of Credit, provided that, in any such case, the Borrower may elect to convert the Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender hereunder to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day’s notice of such election, in which case the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon demand, without duplication, amounts theretofore required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to this subsection 3.10(a) and such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to subsection 3.12. If any Lender or Issuing Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, it shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Borrower, through the Administrative Agent, certifying (x) that one of the events described in this paragraph (a) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the increased cost or reduced amount resulting from such event and (z) as to the additional amount demanded by such Lender or Issuing Lender and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof. Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by such Lender or Issuing Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This subsection 3.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(b) If any Lender or Issuing Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or Issuing Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender or Issuing Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority, in each case, made subsequent to the Closing Date, does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s, Issuing Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s, Issuing Lender’s obligations or hereunder or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender, Issuing Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s, Issuing Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender or Issuing Lender to be material, then from time to time, within ten Business Days after submission by such Lender or Issuing Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor certifying (x) that one of the events described in this paragraph (b) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the reduction of the rate of return on capital resulting from such event and (z) as to the additional amount or amounts demanded by such Lender, Issuing Lender or corporation and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or Issuing Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, Issuing Lender or corporation for such reduction. Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by such Lender or Issuing Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This subsection shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

-70-

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection 3.10, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount with respect to any additional cost or reduction specified in paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) above, to the extent such additional cost or reduction is attributable, directly or indirectly, to the application of, compliance with or implementation of specific capital adequacy requirements or new methods of calculating capital adequacy, including any part or “pillar” (including Pillar 2 (“Supervisory Review Process”)), of the International Convergence of Capital Measurement Standards: a Revised Framework, published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in June 2004, or any implementation or adoption (whether voluntary or compulsory) thereof, whether by an EC Directive or the FSA Integrated Prudential Sourcebook or any other law or regulation, or otherwise.

3.11 Taxes.

(a) Except as provided below in this subsection or as required by law, all payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement and any Notes shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes; provided that if any Non-Excluded Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any Notes, the amounts so payable by the Borrower shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement; provided, however, that the Borrower shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, and the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify for, any Non-Excluded Taxes, and any such amounts payable by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to or for the account of any Agent or Lender shall not be increased (x) if such Agent or Lender fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (b) or (c) of this subsection, (y) with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes imposed in connection with the payment of any fees paid under this Agreement unless such Non-Excluded Taxes are imposed (1) as a result of a change in treaty, law or regulation that occurred after such Agent became an Agent hereunder or such Lender became a Lender hereunder (or, if such Agent or Lender is a non-U.S. intermediary or flow-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, after the relevant beneficiary or member of such Agent or Lender became such a beneficiary or member, if later) (any such change, at such time, a “Change in Law”) or (2) on a Person that is an assignee whose assignor was entitled to receive additional amounts with respect to payments made by the Borrower, at the time such assignment was effective, as a result of Change in Law that occurred after the Closing Date and such assignee is subject to the same Change in Law with respect to payments from the Borrower, provided that in no event shall such additional amounts under this clause (2) exceed the additional amounts that the assignor was entitled to receive at the time such assignment was effective, or (z) with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof, unless such Non-Excluded Taxes are imposed (1) as a result of a Change in Law or (2) on a Person that is an assignee whose assignor was entitled to receive additional amounts with respect to payments made by the Borrower, at the time such assignment was effective, as a result of Change in Law that occurred after the Closing Date and such assignee is subject to the same Change in Law with respect to payments from the Borrower, provided that in no event shall such additional amounts under this clause (2) exceed the additional amounts that the assignor was entitled to receive at the time such assignment was effective. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt (or other documentary evidence of such payment reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) received by the Borrower showing payment thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Agents for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this subsection 3.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

-71-

(b) Each Agent and each Lender that is a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date or, in the case of an Agent or Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to subsection 10.6, on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Agent or Lender, two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor form), in each case certifying that such Agent or Lender is a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) and to such Agent’s or Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States federal backup withholding Tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note. Each Agent and each Lender that is not a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date or, in the case of an Agent or Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to subsection 10.6, on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Agent or Lender, (i) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty) (or successor forms), in each case certifying to such Agent’s or Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States federal withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note, (ii) if such Agent or Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty) (or successor form) pursuant to clause (i) above, (x) two certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit I (any such certificate, a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (claiming the benefits of the portfolio interest exemption) (or successor form) certifying to such Agent’s or Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States federal withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement and under any Note or (iii) if such Agent or Lender is a non-U.S. intermediary or flow-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, two accurate and complete signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (and all necessary attachments, including to the extent applicable, U.S. Tax Compliance Certificates) certifying to such Agent’s or Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States federal withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note (or, to the extent the beneficial owners of such non-U.S. intermediary or flow through entity are (A) non-U.S. persons claiming portfolio interest treatment, a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to interest payments or (B) United States persons, a complete exemption from United States federal backup withholding tax), unless, in each case, such Person is an assignee whose assignor was entitled to receive additional amounts with respect to payments made by the Borrower, at the time such assignment was effective, as a result of Change in Law that occurred after the Closing Date and such assignee is subject to the same Change in Law with respect to payments from the Borrower, provided that in no event shall such additional amounts exceed the additional amounts that the assignor was entitled to receive at the time such assignment was effective. In addition, each Agent and Lender agrees that from time to time after the Closing Date, when the passage of time or a change in circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate, such Agent or Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two new accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN (claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty), or Form W-8BEN (claiming the benefits of the portfolio interest exemption) and a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, or Form W-8IMY (with respect to a non-U.S. intermediary or flow-through entity), as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Agent or Lender to a continued exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Note (or, to the extent the beneficial owners of such non-U.S. intermediary or flow through entity are (A) non-U.S. persons claiming portfolio

-72-

interest treatment, a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to interest payments or (B) United States persons, a complete exemption from United States federal backup withholding tax), unless, in each case, (1) there has been a Change in Law that occurs after the date such Agent or Lender becomes an Agent or Lender hereunder (or after the date the relevant beneficiary or member in the case of a Lender that is a non-U.S. intermediary or flow through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes becomes a beneficiary or member, if later) which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Agent or Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it, in which case such Agent or Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to deliver any such form or (2) such Person is an assignee whose assignor was entitled to receive additional amounts with respect to payments made by the Borrower, at the time such assignment was effective, as a result of Change in Law that occurred after the Closing Date and such assignee is subject to the same Change in Law with respect to payments from the Borrower, provided that in no event shall such additional amounts under this clause (2) exceed the additional amounts that the assignor was entitled to receive at the time such assignment was effective.

(c) Each Agent and Lender shall, upon request by the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower or the applicable Governmental Authority, as the case may be, any form or certificate required in order that any payment by the Borrower under this Agreement or any Note to such Agent or Lender may be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Non-Excluded Taxes (or to allow any such deduction or withholding to be at a reduced rate), provided that such Agent or Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such form or certificate. Each Person that shall become a Lender or a Participant pursuant to subsection 10.6 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all of the forms, certifications and statements pursuant to this subsection 3.11, provided that in the case of a Participant the obligations of such Participant pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this subsection 3.11 shall be determined as if such Participant were a Lender except that such Participant shall furnish all such required forms, certifications and statements to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased.

3.12 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each such Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur (other than through such Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment or conversion of Eurocurrency Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a payment or prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans or the conversion of Eurocurrency Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or converted, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or conversion or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of the applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Eurocurrency Loans, as applicable, provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurocurrency market. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any amounts under the indemnity contained in this subsection 3.12, it shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Borrower, through the Administrative Agent, certifying (x) that one of the events described in clause (a), (b) or (c) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the loss or expense sustained or incurred by such Lender as a consequence thereof and (z) as to the amount for which such Lender seeks indemnification hereunder and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation

-73-

thereof. Such a certificate as to any indemnification pursuant to this subsection 3.12 submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This subsection 3.12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

3.13 Certain Rules Relating to the Payment of Additional Amounts.

(a) Upon the request, and at the expense, of the Borrower, each Agent, Lender and Issuing Lender to which the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount pursuant to subsection 3.10 or 3.11, and any Participant in respect of whose participation such payment is required, shall reasonably afford the Borrower the opportunity to contest, and reasonably cooperate with the Borrower in contesting, the imposition of any Non-Excluded Tax giving rise to such payment; provided that (i) such Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender shall not be required to afford the Borrower the opportunity to so contest unless the Borrower shall have confirmed in writing to such Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender its obligation to pay such amounts pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the Borrower shall reimburse such Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender for its reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements incurred in so cooperating with the Borrower in contesting the imposition of such Non-Excluded Tax; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing no Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender shall be required to afford the Borrower the opportunity to contest, or cooperate with the Borrower in contesting, the imposition of any Non-Excluded Taxes, if such Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender in its sole discretion in good faith determines that to do so would have an adverse effect on it.

(b) If a Lender or Issuing Lender changes its applicable lending office (other than (i) pursuant to paragraph (c) below or (ii) after an Event of Default under subsection 8(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing) and the effect of such change, as of the date of such change, would be to cause the Borrower to become obligated to pay any additional amount under subsection 3.10 or 3.11, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such additional amount.

(c) If a condition or an event occurs which would, or would upon the passage of time or giving of notice, result in the payment of any additional amount to any Lender or Issuing Lender by the Borrower pursuant to subsection 3.10 or 3.11, such Lender or Issuing Lender shall promptly after becoming aware of such event or condition notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and shall take such steps as may reasonably be available to it to mitigate the effects of such condition or event (which shall include efforts to rebook the Loans or issued Letters of Credit, as the case may be, held by such Lender or Issuing Lender at another lending office, or through another branch or an affiliate, of such Lender or Issuing Lender); provided that such Lender or Issuing Lender shall not be required to take any step that, in its reasonable judgment, would be materially disadvantageous to its business or operations or would require it to incur additional costs (unless the Borrower agrees to reimburse such Lender or Issuing Lender for the reasonable incremental out-of-pocket costs thereof).

(d) If the Borrower shall become obligated to pay additional amounts pursuant to subsection 3.10 or 3.11 and any affected Lender shall not have promptly taken steps necessary to avoid the need for payments under subsection 3.10 or 3.11, the Borrower shall have the right, for so long as such obligation remains, (i) with the assistance of the Administrative Agent, to seek one or more substitute Lenders reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to purchase the affected Loan, in whole or in part, at an aggregate price no less than such Loan’s principal amount plus accrued interest, and assume the affected obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists or will exist immediately after giving effect to the respective prepayment, upon at least four Business Days’ irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, to prepay the affected Loan, in whole or in part, subject to subsection 3.12, without premium or penalty. In the case of the substitution of a Lender, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the affected Lender, and any substitute

-74-

Lender shall execute and deliver an appropriately completed Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to subsection 10.6(b) to effect the assignment of rights to, and the assumption of obligations by, the substitute Lender; provided that any fees required to be paid by subsection 10.6(b) in connection with such assignment shall be paid by the Borrower or the substitute Lender. In the case of a prepayment of an affected Loan, the amount specified in the notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with any accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. In the case of each of the substitution of a Lender and of the prepayment of an affected Loan, the Borrower shall first pay the affected Lender any additional amounts owing under subsections 3.10 and 3.11 (as well as any commitment fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender, including any amounts under subsection 3.13) prior to such substitution or prepayment.

(e) If any Agent, Lender or any Issuing Lender receives a refund directly attributable to taxes for which the Borrower has made additional payments pursuant to subsection 3.10(a) or 3.11(a), such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, shall promptly pay such refund (together with any interest with respect thereto received from the relevant taxing authority, but net of any reasonable cost incurred in connection therewith) to the Borrower; provided, however, that the Borrower agrees promptly to return such refund (together with any interest with respect thereto due to the relevant taxing authority) (free of all Non-Excluded Taxes) to such Agent, Issuing Lender or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, upon receipt of a notice that such refund is required to be repaid to the relevant taxing authority.

(f) The obligations of any Agent, Lender, Issuing Lender or Participant under this subsection 3.13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

3.14 Controls on Prepayment if Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit Exceeds Aggregate Revolving Commitments.

(a) The Borrower will implement and maintain internal controls to monitor the borrowings and repayments of Revolving Loans by the Borrower and the issuance of and drawings under Letters of Credit, with the object of preventing any request for an Extension of Credit that would result in the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit with respect to all of the Revolving Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender) being in excess of the aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect and of promptly identifying any circumstance where, by reason of changes in exchange rates, the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit with respect to all of the Revolving Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender) exceeds the aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect. In the event that at any time Parent determines that the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit with respect to all of the Revolving Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender) exceeds the aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect, the Borrower will, as soon as practicable but in any event within five Business Days of making such determination, first, make such repayments or prepayments of Revolving Loans (together with interest accrued to the date of such repayment or prepayment), second, pay any Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding and, third, cash collateralize any outstanding L/C Obligations on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as shall be necessary to cause the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit with respect to all of the Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender) to no longer exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect. If any such repayment or prepayment of a Eurocurrency Loan pursuant to this subsection occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to subsection 3.12.

(b) The Administrative Agent will calculate the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit with respect to all of the Revolving Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender) from time to time,

-75-

and in any event not less frequently than once during each calendar month. In making such calculations, the Administrative Agent will rely on the information most recently received by it from the Swing Line Lender in respect of outstanding Swing Line Loans and from the Issuing Lender in respect of outstanding L/C Obligations.

(c) In the event that on any date the Administrative Agent calculates that the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit with respect to all of the Revolving Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender) exceeds the aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect, the Administrative Agent will give notice to such effect to the Borrower and the Revolving Lenders. Following receipt of any such notice, the Borrower will, as soon as practicable but in any event within five Business Days of receipt of such notice, first, make such repayments or prepayments of Revolving Loans (together with interest accrued to the date of such repayment or prepayment), second, pay any Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding and, third, cash collateralize any outstanding L/C Obligations on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as shall be necessary to cause the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit with respect to all of the Revolving Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender) to no longer exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect. If any such repayment or prepayment of a Eurocurrency Loan pursuant to this subsection occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to the Revolving Lenders such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to subsection 3.12.

SECTION 4 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. To induce the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and each Lender to make the Extensions of Credit requested to be made by it on the Closing Date and on each Borrowing Date thereafter, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants, on the Closing Date, after giving effect to the Transactions, and on each Borrowing Date thereafter, to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

The Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lenders and the L/C Participants, such further documents and instruments as the Administrative Agent may request to evidence the creation and perfection of such security interest in such cash collateral account. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held in such cash collateral account are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders, or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate undrawn and unexpired amount of the relevant outstanding Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall, forthwith, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent as additional funds to be deposited and held in such cash collateral account, an amount equal to the excess of (a) such aggregate undrawn and unexpired amount over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held in such cash collateral account that the Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. After all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied and all other obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no Lender in its capacity as a Secured Party or as beneficiary of any security granted pursuant to the Security Documents shall have any right to exercise remedies in respect of such security without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders.

-114-

Except as expressly provided above in this Section 8, presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived.

After the exercise of remedies provided for in this Section 8 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the L/C Obligations have automatically been required to be cash collateralized as set forth above), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in the following order:

(i) first, to the payment of all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent in connection with such collection or sale or otherwise in connection with any Loan Document, including all court costs and the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document on behalf of any Loan Party and any other reasonable and documented costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document;

(ii) second, to the Secured Parties, an amount equal to all interest and other amounts constituting Obligations under the Security Documents owing to them on the date of any distribution (other than (x) principal, (y) reimbursements of unpaid drawings under Letters of Credit and (z) any obligation to cash collateralize Letters of Credit) on the date of any distribution, and any interest accrued thereon and any fees, premiums and scheduled periodic payments due under Interest Rate Agreements, Currency Agreements, Commodities Agreements or Bank Products Agreements (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) constituting Obligations under the Security Documents and any interest accrued thereon, in each case equally and ratably in accordance with the respective amounts thereof then due and owing;

(iii) third, to the Secured Parties, an amount (x) equal to the principal amount of all Obligations under the Security Documents and premium thereon and any reimbursement obligations in respect of unpaid drawings under Letters of Credit, in each case owing to them on the date of any distribution, (y) sufficient to cash collateralize all Letters of Credit outstanding on the date of any distribution and (z) any breakage, termination or other payments under Interest Rate Agreements, Currency Agreements, Commodities Agreements or Bank Products Agreements (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) constituting Obligations under the Security Documents and any interest accrued thereon; and

(iv) fourth, any surplus then remaining shall be paid to the applicable Loan Parties or their successors or assigns or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct;

provided that any amount applied to cash collateralize any Letters of Credit that has not been applied to reimburse the Issuing Lender for unpaid drawings under the applicable Letters of Credit at the time of expiration of all such Letters of Credit shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the order specified in clauses (i) through (iv) above.

Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, as the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent for such Lender, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Agents and the Other Representatives shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except, in the case of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Agents or the Other Representatives. Each of the Agents may perform any of its respective duties under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein by or through its respective officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates (it being understood and agreed that, for avoidance of doubt and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may perform any of their respective duties under the Security Documents by or through one or more of their respective affiliates).

9.2 Delegation of Duties. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, each Agent shall act solely as agent for the Lenders and, as applicable, the other Secured Parties, and no Agent assumes any (and shall not be deemed to have assumed any) obligation or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact (including the Collateral Agent in the case of the Administrative Agent) and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact or counsel selected by it with reasonable care.

9.3 Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent, any Other Representative or any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for (i) any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any Agent or any Other Representative under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Notes or any other Loan Document, (iii) for any failure of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (iv) the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (v) the satisfaction of any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5, or (vi) the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default. No Agent or any Other Representative shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower or any other Loan Party. Each Lender agrees that, except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder or given to the Administrative Agent for the account of or with copies for the Lenders,

-116-

the Agents and the Other Representatives shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any other Loan Party which may come into the possession of the Agents and the Other Representatives or any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

9.4 Reliance by the Administrative Agent. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected (and shall have no liability to any Person) in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation 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 (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless such Note shall have been transferred in accordance with subsection 10.6 and all actions required by such subsection in connection with such transfer shall have been taken. Any request, authority or consent of any Person or entity who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor. Each Agent shall be fully justified as between itself and the Lenders in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders and/or such other requisite percentage of the Lenders as is required pursuant to subsection 10.1(a) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its 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. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and any Notes and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders and/or such other requisite percentage of the Lenders as is required pursuant to subsection 10.1(a), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

9.5 Notice 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 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. The Administrative Agent shall take such action reasonably promptly with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by the Required Lenders and/or such other requisite percentage of the Lenders as is required pursuant to subsection 10.1(a); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

9.6 Acknowledgements and Representations by Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that no Agent or Other Representative nor any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent or any Other Representative hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent or such Other Representative to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents, the Other Representatives and each of the Loan Parties that, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Other Representatives or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and will make, its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the

-117-

other Loan Parties, it has made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement and it will make its own decisions in taking or not taking any action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, neither any Agent nor any Other Representative shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. Each Lender represents to each other party hereto that it is a bank, savings and loan association or other similar savings institution, insurance company, investment fund or company or other financial institution which makes or acquires commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business, that it is participating hereunder as a Lender for such commercial purposes, and that it has the knowledge and experience to be and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of being a Lender hereunder. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees to comply with the provisions of subsection 10.6 applicable to the Lenders hereunder.

9.7 Indemnification.

(a) The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent (or any Affiliate thereof), each Issuing Lender (or Affiliate thereof) and each Other Representative (or any Affiliate thereof) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Term Credit Percentages or Revolving Commitment Percentages, as the case may be, in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this subsection 9.7 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and the Revolving Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their Total Credit Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the Term Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by any Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent arising from (a) such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or (b) claims made or legal proceedings commenced against such Agent by any security holder or creditor thereof arising out of and based upon rights afforded any such security holder or creditor solely in its capacity as such. The obligations to indemnify the Issuing Lender and Swing Line Lender shall be ratable among the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments (or, if the Revolving Commitments have been terminated, the outstanding principal amount of their respective Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations and their respective participating interests in the outstanding Letters of Credit) and shall be payable only by the Revolving Lenders. The agreements in this subsection 9.7(a) shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(b) Any Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document (except actions expressly required to be taken by it hereunder or under the Loan Documents) 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.

(c) The provisions of this subsection 9.7 shall apply to the Issuing Lender in its capacity as such to the same extent that such provisions apply to the Administrative Agent.

9.8 The Agents and Other Representatives in Their Individual Capacity. The Agents, the Other Representatives and their Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally

-118-

engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any other Loan Party as though the Agents and the Other Representatives were not the Administrative Agent or the Other Representatives hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. With respect to Loans made or renewed by them and any Note issued to them and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by them, the Agents and the Other Representatives shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though they were not an Agent or an Other Representative, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Agents and the Other Representatives in their individual capacities.

9.9 Collateral Matters.

(a) Each Lender authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and any Replacement Intercreditor Agreement for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties. Each Lender hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note or participant in a Letter of Credit by the acceptance thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Replacement Intercreditor Agreement, and the exercise by the Agents or the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Security Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents.

(b) The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, in each case at its option and in its discretion, to (A) release any Lien granted to or held by such Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon payment and satisfaction of all of the obligations under the Loan Documents at any time arising under or in respect of this Agreement or the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and with no Letters of Credit outstanding (unless cash collateralized or otherwise provided for in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) and no other amounts owing hereunder, (ii) constituting property being sold or otherwise disposed of (to Persons other than a Loan Party) upon the sale or other disposition thereof in compliance with subsection 7.4, (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such greater amount, to the extent required by subsection 10.1) or (iv) as otherwise may be expressly provided in the relevant Security Documents or (B) enter into any intercreditor agreement on behalf of, and binding with respect to, the Lenders and their interest in designated assets, to give effect to any Special Purpose Financing, including to clarify the respective rights of all parties in and to designated assets. Upon request by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing such Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this subsection 9.9.

(c) The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, in each case at its option and in its discretion, to enter into any amendment, amendment and restatement, restatement, waiver, supplement or modification, and to make or consent to any filings or to take any other actions, in each case as contemplated by subsection 10.17. Upon request by any Agent, at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s and the Collateral Agent’s authority under this subsection.

(d) No Agent or Issuing Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to the Lenders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to any Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly

-119-

or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Agents in this subsection 9.9 or in any of the Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, each Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given such Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as Lender and that no Agent shall have any duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(e) The Collateral Agent may, and hereby does, appoint the Administrative Agent as its agent for the purposes of holding any Collateral and/or perfecting the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein and for the purpose of taking such other action with respect to the Collateral as such Agents may from time to time agree.

9.10 Successor Agent. Subject to the appointment of a successor as set forth herein, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may resign as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, respectively, upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the term “Administrative Agent” or “Collateral Agent,” as applicable, shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans or Issuing Lender. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal as Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Additionally, after any retiring Agent’s resignation as such Agent, the provisions of this subsection shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was such Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. After the resignation of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the preceding provisions of this subsection, the resigning Administrative Agent shall not be required to act as Issuing Lender for any Letters of Credit to be issued after the date of such resignation and shall not be required to act as Swing Line Lender with respect to Swing Line Loans to be made after the date of such resignation (and all outstanding Swing Line Loans of such resigning Administrative Agent shall be required to be repaid in full upon its resignation), although the resigning Administrative Agent shall retain all rights hereunder as Issuing Lender and Swing Line Lender with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it, and all Swing Line Loans made by it, prior to the effectiveness of its resignation as Administrative Agent hereunder.

9.11 Other Representatives. None of the entities identified as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers pursuant to the definition of “Other Representative” contained herein, shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder or under any other Loan Document in its capacity as such.

9.12 Swing Line Lender. The provisions of this Section 9 shall apply to the Swing Line Lender in its capacity as such to the same extent that such provisions apply to the Administrative Agent.

9.13 Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other authority of the United States or other jurisdiction

-120-

asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties thereto, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any other out-of-pocket expenses.

9.14 Approved Electronic Communications. Each of the Lenders and the Loan Parties agree that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Approved Electronic Communications available to the Lenders and the Issuing Lender by posting such Approved Electronic Communications on IntraLinks™ or a substantially similar electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”). The Approved Electronic Communications and the Approved Electronic Platform are provided (subject to subsection 10.16) “as is” and “as available.”

Each of the Lenders and (subject to subsection 10.16) each of the Loan Parties agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Approved Electronic Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally-applicable document retention procedures and policies.

-125-

The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Agents and the Other Representatives for (1) all their reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with (i) the syndication of the Facilities and the development, preparation, execution and delivery of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, (ii) the consummation and administration of the transactions (including the syndication of the Commitments contemplated hereby and thereby) and (iii) efforts to monitor the Loans and verify, protect, evaluate, assess, appraise, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, and (2) (i) the reasonable fees and disbursements of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, and such other special or local counsel, consultants, advisors, appraisers and auditors whose retention (other than during the continuance of an Event of Default) is approved by the Borrower, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender, Other Representative, Issuing Lender and Agent for all its reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, including the fees and disbursements of counsel to the Agents and the Lenders, (c) to pay, indemnify, or reimburse each Lender, Other Representative, Issuing Lender and Agent for, and hold each Lender, Other Representative, Issuing Lender and Agent harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other similar taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents and (d) to pay, indemnify or reimburse each Lender, Other Representative, Issuing Lender and Agent, their respective affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders, members, attorneys and other advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) for, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against, any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs (including Environmental Costs), expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law attributable to the operations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any property or facility owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the presence of Materials of Environmental Concern at, on or under, and Release of Materials of Environmental Concern at, on, under or from any such properties or facilities (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided that the Borrower shall not have any obligation hereunder to the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, any Issuing Lender, any Other Representative or any Lender (or any of their respective affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders, members, attorneys and other advisors, agents and controlling persons) with respect to Indemnified Liabilities arising from (i) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision, or by settlement tantamount thereto) of the Administrative Agent, any such other Agent, any Issuing Lender, any such Other Representative or any such Lender (or any of their respective affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders, members, agents, attorneys and other advisors, successors and controlling persons) and (ii) claims made or legal proceedings commenced against

The agreements in this subsection 10.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans, the L/C Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder.

10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any affiliate of an Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) other than in accordance with subsection 7.3, the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this subsection 10.6.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender other than a Conduit Lender may, in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with applicable law, assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including its Commitments and/or Loans, pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(A) The Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default under subsection 8(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing, any other Person; provided, further, that if any Lender assigns all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one of its affiliates in connection with or in contemplation of the sale or other disposition of its interest in such affiliate, the Borrower’s prior written consent shall be required for such assignment; and

(B) the Administrative Agent.

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans, as the case may be, the amount of Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than (x) $1.0 million in the case of Term Loans and (y) $5.0 million in the case of Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments, in each case unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under subsection 8(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;

-127-

(B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500.00; provided that for concurrent assignments to two or more Approved Funds such assignment fee shall only be required to be paid once in respect of and at the time of such assignments; and

(C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire.

For the purposes of this subsection 10.6, the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning: any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of (and bound by any related obligations under) subsections 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13 and 10.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 10.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this subsection.

(iv) The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent agrees, to serve as the Borrower’s agent, solely for purposes of this subsection 10.6, to maintain at one of its offices in New York, New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and interest and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, each Issuing Lender and any Lender (with respect to its own interest only), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this subsection and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this subsection, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance, record the information contained therein in the Register and give prompt notice of such assignment and recordation to the Borrower. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

-128-

(vi) On or prior to the effective date of any assignment pursuant to this subsection 10.6(b), the assigning Lender shall surrender any outstanding Notes held by it all or a portion of which are being assigned. Any Notes surrendered by the assigning Lender shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower marked “cancelled.”

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 10.6(b) or any other provision of this Agreement, if the Borrower shall have consented thereto in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), the Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to effectuate assignments of Loans and Commitments via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower as designated in writing from time to time to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent (the “Settlement Service”). At any time when the Administrative Agent elects, in its sole discretion, to implement such Settlement Service, each such assignment shall be effected by the assigning Lender and proposed Assignee pursuant to the procedures then in effect under the Settlement Service, which procedures shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower and shall be consistent with the other provisions of this subsection 10.6(b). Each assigning Lender and proposed Assignee shall comply with the requirements of the Settlement Service in connection with effecting any assignment of Loans and Commitments pursuant to the Settlement Service. If so elected by each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing (it being understood that the Borrower shall have no obligation to make such an election), the Administrative Agent’s and the Borrower’s approval of such Assignee shall be deemed to have been automatically granted with respect to any transfer effected through the Settlement Service. Assignments and assumptions of the Loans and Commitments shall be effected by the provisions otherwise set forth herein until Administrative Agent notifies Lenders of the Settlement Service as set forth herein. The Borrower may withdraw its consent to the use of the Settlement Service at any time upon at least 10 Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, and thereafter assignments and assumptions of the Loans and Commitments shall be effected by the provisions otherwise set forth herein.

Furthermore, no Assignee, which as of the date of any assignment to it pursuant to this subsection 10.6(b) would be entitled to receive any greater payment under subsection 3.10, 3.11 or 10.5 than the assigning Lender would have been entitled to receive as of such date under such subsections with respect to the rights assigned, shall be entitled to receive such greater payments unless the assignment was made after an Event of Default under subsection 8(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing or the Borrower has expressly consented in writing to waive the benefit of this provision at the time of such assignment.

(c) (i) Any Lender other than a Conduit Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (D) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of subsection 10.1(a) and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this subsection, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of (and shall have the related obligations under) sub-sections 3.10,

-129-

3.11, 3.12, 3.13 and 10.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this subsection. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of subsection 10.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant shall be subject to subsection 10.7(a) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) No Loan Party shall be obligated to make any greater payment under subsection 3.10, 3.11 or 10.5 than it would have been obligated to make in the absence of any participation, unless the sale of such participation is made with the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Borrower expressly waives the benefit of this provision at the time of such participation. No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of subsection 3.11 to the extent such Participant fails to comply with subsection 3.11(b) and/or (c) or to provide the forms and certificates referenced therein to the Lender that granted such participation and such failure increases the obligation of the Borrower under subsection 3.11.

(iii) Subject to paragraph (c)(ii), any Lender other than a Conduit Lender may also sell participations on terms other than the terms set forth in paragraph (c)(i) above, provided such participations are on terms and to Participants satisfactory to the Borrower and the Borrower has consented to such terms and Participants in writing.

(d) Any Lender, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this subsection shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute (by foreclosure or otherwise) any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) No assignment or participation made or purported to be made to any Assignee or Participant shall be effective without the prior written consent of the Borrower if it would require the Borrower to make any filing with any Governmental Authority or qualify any Loan or Note under the laws of any jurisdiction, and the Borrower shall be entitled to request and receive such information and assurances as it may reasonably request from any Lender or any Assignee or Participant to determine whether any such filing or qualification is required or whether any assignment or participation is otherwise in accordance with applicable law.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in subsection 10.6(b). The Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any domestic or foreign bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state, federal or provincial bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance. Each such indemnifying Lender shall pay in full any claim received from the Borrower pursuant to this subsection 10.6(f) within 30 Business Days of receipt of a certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Borrower specifying in reasonable detail the cause and amount of the loss, cost, damage or expense in respect of which the claim is being asserted, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Without limiting the indemnification obligations of any indemnifying Lender pursuant to this subsection 10.6(f), in the event that the indemnifying Lender fails

-130-

timely to compensate the Borrower for such claim, any Loans held by the relevant Conduit Lender shall, if requested by the Borrower, be assigned promptly to the Lender that administers the Conduit Lender and the designation of such Conduit Lender shall be void.

(g) If the Borrower wishes to replace the Loans or Revolving Commitments with ones having different terms, it shall have the option, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and subject to at least three Business Days’ advance notice to the Lenders instead of prepaying the Loans or reducing or terminating the Revolving Commitments to be replaced, to (i) require the Lenders to assign such Loans or Revolving Commitments to the Administrative Agent or its designees and (ii) amend the terms thereof in accordance with subsection 10.1 (with such replacement, if applicable, being deemed to have been made pursuant to subsection 10.1(d)). Pursuant to any such assignment, all Loans to be replaced shall be purchased at par (allocated among the Lenders in the same manner as would be required if such Loans were being optionally prepaid or such Revolving Commitments were being optionally reduced or prepaid by the Borrower), accompanied by payment of any accrued interest and fees thereon and any amounts owing pursuant to subsection 3.12. By receiving such purchase price, the Lenders, as applicable, shall automatically be deemed to have assigned the Loans or Revolving Commitments pursuant to the terms of the form of Assignment and Acceptance attached hereto as Exhibit A, and accordingly no other action by such Lenders shall be required in connection therewith. The provisions of this paragraph are intended to facilitate the maintenance of the perfection and priority of existing security interests in the Collateral during any such replacement.

10.7 Adjustments; Set-off; Calculations; Computations.

(a) If any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans or Reimbursement Obligations owing to it, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in subsection 8(f), or otherwise (except pursuant to subsection 3.4, 3.13(d) or 10.6)), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans or the Reimbursement Obligations, as the case may be, owing to it, or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders an interest (by participation, assignment or otherwise) in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loans or the Reimbursement Obligations, as the case may be, owing to it, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under subsection 8(a) to set-off and appropriate and apply against any amount then due and payable under subsection 8(a) by the Borrower any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

-131-

10.8 Judgment.

(a) If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Loan Party in any court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this subsection 10.8 referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due under any Loan Document in any currency (the “Obligation Currency”) other than the Judgment Currency, the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date, or the date on which the judgment is given, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the applicable date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this subsection 10.8 being hereinafter in this subsection 10.8 referred to as the “Judgment Conversion Date”).

(b) If, in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in subsection 10.8(a), there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual receipt for value of the amount due, the applicable Loan Party shall pay such additional amount (if any, but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount actually received in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of the Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date. Any amount due from any Loan Party under this subsection 10.8(b) shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of any of the Loan Documents.

(c) The term “rate of exchange” in this subsection 10.8 means the rate of exchange at which the Administrative Agent, on the relevant date at or about 12:00 Noon (New York time), would be prepared to sell, in accordance with its normal course foreign currency exchange practices, the Obligation Currency against the Judgment Currency.

10.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), and all of such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

10.10 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.11 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of each of the Loan Parties party hereto, the Agents, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any of the Loan Parties party hereto, the Agents, the Issuing Lender or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

10.12 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY NOTES AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS PRINCIPLES OR RULES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS TO THE EXTENT SUCH PRINCIPLES OR RULES ARE NOT MANDATORILY APPLICABLE BY STATUTE AND WOULD REQUIRE OR PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

-132-

10.13 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to xxx in any other jurisdiction; and

(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this subsection any consequential or punitive damages.

10.14 Acknowledgements. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that:

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

Unless the THD Guarantee Release Date shall have occurred, wherever the interest of the Lenders, or whether a term is advantageous or disadvantageous or favorable or less favorable (or words to similar effect), is to be considered hereunder, such considerations shall be on the basis as if the Term Loans do not benefit from the THD Guarantee.

10.21 Effects of Payments by THD; Subrogation. The Administrative Agent shall receive as attorney-in-fact of each Term Lender any amounts guaranteed by THD under the THD Guarantee.

THD shall, to the extent it makes any payment with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in the THD Guarantee), become subrogated to all of the rights of the recipient of such payments to the extent of such payments, including all claims or actions relating thereto or arising therefrom, and with respect to such Guaranteed Obligations, shall be deemed a “Lender” for all purposes under the Credit Agreement and under the other Loan Documents. Subject to and conditioned upon any payment with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations by or on behalf of THD, THD shall automatically be deemed to be assigned, conveyed or otherwise transferred all rights, title and interest in and to such Guaranteed Obligations to the extent of all payments made by THD all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and the Term Lenders shall be deemed in connection therewith to have

Each of the Borrower, the Term Lenders, and each other Loan Party agrees that any payment, reimbursement or indemnity obligation owing to, or subrogation claim held by, THD under the THD Guarantee shall not be subject to any setoffs, defenses or counterclaims.
