	Leverage Ratio	Eurodollar Margin for Revolviong Loans	Base Rate Margin for Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans	Commitment Fee

NEWYORK 9228866 (2K)	-3-

the date of the delivery of such certificate and any Indebtedness incurred or assumed in connection therewith) as of the last day of the last Calculation Period ended prior to the date on which such Significant Permitted Acquisition or Significant Asset Sale is consummated and the date of such consummation shall be deemed to be a Start Date and the Applicable Margins for the relevant Tranche (and Type) of Loan or the Commitment Fee, as the case may be, which shall be thereafter applicable (until same are changed or cease to apply in accordance with the following sentences) shall be based upon the Leverage Ratio as so calculated. The Applicable Margins so determined for such Tranche (and Type) of Loan or the Commitment Fee, as the case may be, shall apply, except as set forth in the immediately succeeding sentences, from the relevant Start Date to the earliest of (x) the date on which the next Quarterly Pricing Certificate is delivered to the Administrative Agent, (y) the date on which the next Significant Permitted Acquisition or Significant Asset Sale is consummated or (z) the date which is 45 days following the last day of the Test Period in which the previous Start Date occurred (such earliest date, the “End Date”), at which time, if no certificate has been delivered to the Administrative Agent indicating an entitlement to new (or a continuing entitlement to previously effective) Applicable Margins for such Tranche (and Type) of Loan or the Commitment Fee, as the case may be, (and thus commencing a new Start Date), the Applicable Margins for such Tranche (and Type) of Loan or the Commitment Fee, as the case may be, shall be those corresponding to Level I. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this definition, (1) at any time any Specified Default or Event of Default then exists, the Applicable Margins shall be in the case of Loans (other than Incremental Term Loans) and Commitment Fees, those corresponding to Level I and (2) if the Borrower fails to deliver a Quarterly Pricing Certificate with respect to the fiscal quarter of the Borrower ended closest to September 30, 2011, then the Applicable Margins for any Tranche (and Type) of Loan (other than Incremental Term Loans) or the Commitment Fee, as the case may be, shall be those corresponding to Level I for the period from the Initial Test Date until the date the Borrower has delivered a Quarterly Pricing Certificate indicating an entitlement to new Applicable Margins for such Tranche (and Type) of Loan or the Commitment Fee, as the case may be (and thus commencing the first Start Date).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this definition or elsewhere in this Agreement, if it is subsequently determined that the Leverage Ratio for any period set forth in any certificate delivered in accordance with the preceding paragraph is inaccurate for any reason and the result thereof is that the Lenders received interest or fees for any period based on an Applicable Margin that is less than that which would have been applicable had the Leverage Ratio been accurately determined, then, for all purposes of this Agreement, the “Applicable Margin” for any day occurring within the period covered by such certificate shall immediately and retroactively be deemed to be the relevant percentage as based upon the accurately determined Leverage Ratio for such period, and any shortfall in the interest or fees theretofore paid by the Borrower for the relevant period pursuant to Section 2.08(a) or (b) and Section 4.01(a) or (b) as a result of the miscalculation of the Leverage Ratio shall be deemed to be (and shall be) due and payable under the relevant provisions of Section 2.08(a) or (b) or Section 4.01(a) or (b), as applicable, at the time the interest or fees for such period were required to be paid pursuant to said Sections on the same basis as if the Leverage Ratio had been accurately set forth in such certificate (and shall remain due and payable until paid in full, together with all amounts owing under Section 2.08(c), in accordance with the terms of this Agreement).

Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender shall make available the full amount thereof) in the manner provided below. All amounts shall be made available to the Administrative Agent in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office and the Administrative Agent promptly will make available to the Borrower by depositing to its account at the Payment Office the aggregate of the amounts so made available in the type of funds received. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Administrative Agent has made available same to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover on demand from such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (x) if paid by such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Rate or (y) if paid by the Borrower, the then applicable rate of interest, calculated in accordance with Section 2.08. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

(c) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Event set forth in Sections 6 and/or 7 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that 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 Letter of Credit Issuer, 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 Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, in immediately



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-50-

available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the overnight Federal Funds Rate. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender with respect to any amount owing under this clause (d) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

2.05. Notes. (a) The Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest

on, all the Loans made to it by each Lender shall be set forth on the Register maintained by the

Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.07(c) and, subject to the provisions of Section 2.05(g), shall be evidenced (i) if Revolving Loans, by a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “Revolving Note” and, collectively, the “Revolving Notes”), (ii) if Incremental Term Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, an “Incremental Term Note” and, collectively, the “Incremental Term Notes”) and (iii) if Swingline Loans, by a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit B-3 with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (the “Swingline Note”).

(f) Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof and will prior to any transfer of any of its Notes endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding principal amount of Loans evidenced thereby. Failure to make any such notation or any error in such notation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above or elsewhere in this Agreement, Notes shall only be delivered to Lenders which at any time specifically request the delivery of such Notes. No failure of any Lender to request or obtain a Note evidencing its Loans to the Borrower shall affect or in any manner impair the obligations of the Borrower to pay the Loans (and all related Obligations) which would otherwise be evidenced thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and shall not in any way affect the security or guaranties therefor provided pursuant to the various Credit Documents. Any Lender which does not have a Note evidencing its outstanding Loans shall in no event be required to make the notations otherwise described in preceding clause (f). At any time when any Lender requests the delivery of a Note to evidence any of its Loans, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to the respective Lender the requested Note in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans.

2.06. Conversions. The Borrower shall have the option to convert on any Business Day occurring on or after the Initial Borrowing Date, all or a portion at least equal to the applicable Minimum Borrowing Amount of the outstanding principal amount of Loans (other than Swingline Loans, which shall at all times be maintained as Base Rate Loans) made pursuant to one or more Borrowings of one or more Types of Loans under a single Tranche into a Borrowing or Borrowings of another Type of Loan under such Tranche; provided that (i) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10(b) or unless the Borrower pays all breakage costs and other amounts owing to each Lender pursuant to Section 2.11 concurrently with any such conversion, Eurodollar Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the Loans being converted, and no partial conversion of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, (ii) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, Base Rate Loans may only be converted into Eurodollar Loans if no Default or Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion, and (iii) Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans resulting from this Section 2.06 shall be limited in number as provided in Section 2.02. Each such conversion shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office, prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time), at least three Business Days’ (or one Business Day’s in the case of a conversion into Base Rate Loans) prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) (each, a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) in the form of Exhibit A-2, appropriately completed to specify the Loans to be so converted, the Borrowing(s) pursuant to which the Loans were made and, if to be converted into a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period to



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-52-

be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its Loans. Upon any such conversion, the proceeds thereof will be deemed to be applied directly on the day of such conversion to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans being converted.

2.07. Pro Rata Borrowings. All Borrowings of Revolving Loans and Incremental

Term Loans of a given Tranche under this Agreement shall be incurred by the Borrower from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of such Lenders’ Revolving Loan Commitments or applicable Incremental Term Loan Commitments, as the case may be, in each case as in effect on the date of the respective Borrowing; provided that all Borrowings of Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing shall be incurred from the RL Lenders pro rata on the basis of their respective RL Percentages. It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder.

2.08. Interest. (a) The unpaid principal amount of each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Base Rate Loan and (ii) the conversion of such Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Loan pursuant to Section 2.06, at a rate per annum which shall at all times be the relevant Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate, each as in effect from time to time.

(b) The unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Eurodollar Loan and (ii) the conversion of such Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.09 or 2.10(b), as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall at all times be the relevant Applicable Margin plus the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, each as in effect from time to time.

(c) Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest and other overdue amounts in respect of each Loan shall, in each case, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (x) the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate borne by such Loans immediately prior to the respective payment default and (y) the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans of the respective Tranche from time to time, and all other overdue amounts payable hereunder and under any other Credit Document shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate applicable to Revolving Loans that are maintained at Base Rate Loans from time to time. Interest which accrues under this Section 2.08(c) shall be payable on demand.

(d) Interest shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof and shall be payable (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan, quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, (ii) in respect of each Eurodollar Loan, on (x) the date of any conversion into a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.09 or

2.10(b), as applicable (on the amount converted) and (y) the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period and (iii) in respect of



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-53-

each Loan, on (x) the date of any prepayment or repayment thereof (on the amount prepaid or repaid), (y) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (z) after such maturity, on demand.

(e) All computations of interest hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 13.21(b).

(f) Upon each Interest Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Eurodollar Rate for the respective Interest Period or Interest Periods and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof. In any determination of the Eurodollar Rate for an Interest Period constituting a Special Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to determine such Eurodollar Rate as if such Interest Period were three months in duration, notwithstanding that such Interest Period may in fact be shorter or longer. Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

2.09. Interest Periods. At the time the Borrower gives a Notice of Borrowing or

Notice of Conversion/Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into, a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or prior to 12:00

Noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period), the Borrower shall have the right to elect by giving the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of the Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower, be (x) a one, two, three, six or, to the extent approved by each Lender with outstanding Loans and/or Commitments under the respective Tranche, twelve month period, (y) to the extent approved by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, a one-week period or (z) in the case of a Borrowing of Incremental Term Loans to be maintained as, or converted into, Eurodollar Loans, a Special Interest Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above:

(i) all Eurodollar Loans comprising a Borrowing shall at all times have the same Interest Period;

(ii) the initial Interest Period for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans shall commence on the date of such Borrowing (including the date of any conversion from a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Borrowing shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable thereto expires;

(iii) if any Interest Period (other than a Special Interest Period) for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month;

(iv) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided that if any Interest Period (other than a Special Interest Period) for any



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-54-

Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

(v) no Interest Period for a Borrowing under a Tranche shall be selected which would extend beyond the respective Maturity Date for such Tranche;

(vi) no Interest Period may be elected at any time when a Default or an

Event of Default is then in existence; and

(vii) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of any Tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall be elected which extends beyond any date upon which a Scheduled Incremental Term Loan Repayment for the respective Tranche of Incremental Term Loans will be required to be made under Section 5.02(b) if, after giving effect to the election of such Interest Period, the aggregate principal amount of such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans which have Interest Periods which will expire after such date will be in excess of the aggregate principal amount of such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans then outstanding less the aggregate amount of such required Scheduled Incremental Term Loan Repayment.

If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect, or is not permitted to elect, a new Interest Period to be applicable to the respective Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected (i) if the Borrower has failed to so elect an Interest Period, an Interest Period of one month or (ii) if an election of an Interest Period is not permitted, to convert such Borrowing into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

2.10. Increased Costs; Illegality; etc. (a) In the event that (x) in the case of clause (i) below, the Administrative Agent or (y) in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) below, any Lender, shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto):

(i) on any Interest Determination Date, that, by reason of any changes arising after the Effective Date affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of Eurodollar Rate; or

(ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Eurodollar Loans because of (x) any change since the date of this Agreement in any applicable law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or request (whether or not having the force of law), or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or request, such as, for example, but not limited to, (A) a change in the basis of taxation of payment to any Lender of the principal of or interest on such Eurodollar Loans or any other amounts payable hereunder (except for changes with respect to any tax imposed on,



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-55-

measured by or determined by reference to, the net income, net profits of such Lender or any franchise tax imposed in lieu thereof pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized, or in which such Lender’s principal office or applicable lending office is located or any subdivision thereof or therein); provided, however, that the Borrower’s obligations to pay any additional amounts claimed under this Section 2.10(a)(ii)(x)(A) shall be subject to the provisions contained in Section 5.04(c); provided further that taxes that are otherwise addressed by Section 5.04 are not subject to a claim under this Section 2.10 or (B) a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the Eurodollar Rate and/or (y) other circumstances arising since the date of this Agreement affecting such Lender, the interbank Eurodollar market or the position of such Lender in such market (whether or not such Lender was a Lender at the time of such occurrence, but subject to the last sentence of Section 13.07(j)); or

(iii) at any time since the Effective Date, that the making or continuance of any Eurodollar Loan has become unlawful by compliance by such Lender with any law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any governmental rule, regulation, guideline, request or order not having the force of law but with which such Lender customarily complies even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or has become impracticable as a result of a change or contingency occurring after the Effective Date which materially and adversely affects the interbank Eurodollar market;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent in the case of clause (i) above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower, which written notice shall set forth such Lender’s (or the Administrative Agent’s, as the case may be) basis for asserting its rights under this Section 2.10(a) and the calculation, in reasonable detail, of any such additional amounts claimed hereunder, and (except in the case of clause (i)) to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter, (x) in the case of clause (i) above, Eurodollar Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by the Borrower with respect to Eurodollar Loans which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower agrees, subject to the provisions of Section 13.18 (to the extent applicable), to pay to such Lender, upon written demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder but without duplication of any payments due under Section 5.04 (with the written notice as to the additional amounts, which shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation thereof, owed to such Lender, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the foregoing to be, absent manifest error, final, conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish any of the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10(a) upon the subsequent receipt of such notice) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-56-

take one of the actions specified in Section 2.10(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

(b) At any time that any Eurodollar Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), the Borrower may at its sole option (and in the case of a Eurodollar Loan affected pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(iii), the Borrower shall) either (i) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, cancel said Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing) thereof on the same date that the Borrower was notified by a Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii)), or (ii) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert each such Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan (which conversion, in the case of the circumstance described in Section 2.10(a)(iii), shall occur no later than the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan or such earlier day as shall be required by applicable law); provided that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 2.10(b).

(c) If any Lender shall have determined after the Effective Date that the adoption or effectiveness after the Effective Date of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change after the Effective Date in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such other corporation’s capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender’s Commitment or Commitments hereunder or its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such other corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such other corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, upon written demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), accompanied by the notice referred to in the last sentence of this Section 2.10(c), the Borrower agrees, subject to the provisions of Section 13.18 (to the extent applicable), to pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such other corporation for such reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation. Each Lender, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower (a copy of which shall be sent by such Lender to the Administrative Agent), which notice shall set forth such Lender’s basis for asserting its rights under this Section 2.10(c) and the calculation, in reasonable detail, of such additional amounts claimed hereunder, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) upon the subsequent receipt of such notice. A Lender’s reasonable good faith determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.10(c) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder, issued in connection therewith or in implementation



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-57-

thereof, shall be deemed to be a change after the Effective Date in a requirement of law or government rule, regulation or order, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented (including for purposes of this Section 2.10 and Section 3.05)

2.11. Compensation. The Borrower shall, subject to the provisions of Section 13.18 (to the extent applicable), compensate each Lender, promptly upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation), for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Eurodollar Loans) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or any Agent) a Borrowing of, or conversion from or into, Eurodollar Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by the Borrower (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 2.10(a)); (ii) if any repayment (including any repayment made pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 11 or as a result of the replacement of a Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) pursuant to Section 2.13 or 13.01(b)) or conversion of any Eurodollar Loans of the Borrower occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any Eurodollar Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; or (iv) as a consequence of (x) any other default by the Borrower to repay its Eurodollar Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or (y) an election made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.10(b). Each Lender’s calculation of the amount of compensation owing pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be made in good faith. A Lender’s basis for requesting compensation pursuant to this Section 2.11 and a Lender’s calculation of the amount thereof, shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

2.12. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c) or (d), Section 3.05 or Section 5.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans or Letters of Credit affected by such event; provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender provided in Sections 2.10, 3.05 and 5.04.

2.13. Replacement of Lenders. (x) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (y) upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c) or (d), Section 3.05 or Section 5.04 with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender charging to the Borrower increased costs or other additional amounts materially in excess of the average costs being charged by the other Lenders in respect of such contingency or (z) in the case of a refusal by a Lender to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to this Agreement which has been approved by the Required Lenders as provided in Section 13.01(b), the Borrower shall have the right, in accordance with Section 13.07(b), if no Default or Event of Default then exists or would exist after giving effect to such

replacement, to (a) replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Assignee or Assignees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) and each of whom shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent or (b) in the case of a replacement as provided in Section 13.01(b) where the consent of the respective Lender is required with respect to less than all Tranches of its Loans or Commitments, at the option of the Borrower, to replace only the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of such Lender in respect of each Tranche where the consent of such Lender would otherwise be individually required, with identical Commitments and/or Loans of the respective Tranche provided by the Replacement Lender; provided that:

(i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section 13.07(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 13.07(b) to be paid by the Replacement Lender and/or the Borrower (as may be agreed to at such time by and among the Borrower and the Replacement Lender)) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans (or, in the case of the replacement of less than all the Tranches of Commitments and outstanding Loans of the respective Replaced Lender, all the Commitments and/or then outstanding Loans relating to the Tranche or Tranches with respect to which such Lender is being replaced) of, and participations in all then outstanding Letters of Credit issued pursuant to the respective Tranche where the respective Lender is being replaced by, the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to (x) the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans (or of the Loans of the respective Tranche being replaced) of the Replaced Lender, (B) an amount equal to all Unpaid Drawings (unless there are no Unpaid Drawings with respect to the Tranche being replaced) that have been funded by (and not reimbursed to) such Replaced Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (C) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees owing to the Replaced Lender (but only with respect to the relevant Tranche, in the case of the replacement of less than all Tranches of Loans then held by the respective Replaced Lender) pursuant to Section 4.01, (y) except in the case of the replacement of only the outstanding Incremental Term Loans of a Replaced Lender, each Letter of Credit Issuer an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s RL Percentage of any Unpaid Drawing relating to Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer (which at such time remains an Unpaid Drawing) to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender and (z) in the case of any replacement of Revolving Loan Commitments, the Swingline Lender an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s RL Percentage of any Mandatory Borrowing to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender; and

(ii) all obligations of the Borrower then owing to the Replaced Lender (other than those (a) specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid, but including all amounts, if any, owing under Section 2.11 or (b) relating to any Tranche of Loans and/or Commitments of the respective Replaced Lender which will remain outstanding after



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-59-

giving effect to the respective replacement) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement.

Upon receipt by the Replaced Lender of all amounts required to be paid to it pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated) and is authorized (which authorization is coupled with an interest) to execute an Assignment and Assumption Agreement on behalf of such Replaced Lender, and any such Assignment and Assumption Agreement so executed by the Administrative Agent and the Replacement Lender shall be effective for purposes of this Section 2.13 and Section 13.07.

(b) At the time of the provision of Incremental Term Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.15, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each such Lender or other Eligible Assignee which agrees to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment (each,



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-61-

an “Incremental Term Loan Lender”) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, with the effectiveness of the Incremental Term Loan Commitment provided therein to occur on the date set forth in such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, which date in any event shall be no earlier than the date on which (w) all fees required to be paid in connection therewith at the time of such effectiveness shall have been paid (including, without limitation, any agreed upon up-front or arrangement fees owing to the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof)), (x) all Incremental Loan Commitment Requirements are satisfied, (y) all other conditions set forth in this Section 2.15 shall have been satisfied, and (z) all other conditions precedent that may be set forth in such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall have been satisfied. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, and at such time, (i) Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect the revised Incremental Term Loan Commitments of the affected Lenders and (ii) to the extent requested by any Incremental Term Loan Lender, Incremental Term Notes will be issued, at the Borrower’s expense, to such Incremental Term Loan Lender in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.05.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.15, the Incremental Term Loan Commitments provided by an Incremental Term Loan Lender or Incremental Term Loan Lenders, as the case may be, pursuant to each Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall constitute a new Tranche, which shall be separate and distinct from the existing Tranches pursuant to this Agreement (with a designation which may be made in letters (i.e., A, B, C, etc.), numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.) or a combination thereof (i.e., X-0, X-0, X-0, X-0, X-0, X-0, C-1, C-2, C-3, etc.); provided that, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, the parties to a given Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement may specify therein that the respective Incremental Term Loans made pursuant thereto shall constitute part of, and be added to, an existing Tranche of Incremental Term Loans, so long as the following requirements are satisfied:

(i) the Incremental Term Loans to be made pursuant to such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall have the same Maturity Date and shall have the same Applicable Margins as the Tranche of Incremental Term Loans to which the new Incremental Term Loans are being added;

(ii) the new Incremental Term Loans shall have the same Scheduled Incremental Term Loan Repayment Dates as then remain with respect to the Tranche to which such new Incremental Term Loans are being added (with the amount of each Scheduled Incremental Term Loan Repayment applicable to such new Incremental Term Loans to be the same (on a proportionate basis) as is theretofore applicable to the Tranche to which such new Incremental Term Loans are being added, thereby increasing the amount of each then remaining Scheduled Incremental Term Loan Repayment of the respective Tranche proportionately); and

(iii) on the date of the making of such new Incremental Term Loans, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 2.09, such new Incremental Term Loans shall be added to (and form part of) each Borrowing of outstanding Incremental Term Loans of the respective Tranche on a pro rata basis (based on the



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-62-

relative sizes of the various outstanding Borrowings), so that each Lender will participate proportionately in each then outstanding Borrowing of Incremental Term Loans of the respective Tranche.

To the extent the provisions of preceding clause (iii) require that Lenders making new Incremental Term Loans add such Incremental Term Loans to the then outstanding Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans of such Tranche, it is acknowledged that the effect thereof may result in such new Incremental Term Loans having short Interest Periods (i.e., an Interest Period that began during an Interest Period then applicable to outstanding Eurodollar Loans of such Tranche and which will end on the last day of such Interest Period). In connection therewith, the Borrower hereby agrees to compensate the Lenders making the new Incremental Term Loans of the respective Tranche for funding Eurodollar Loans during an existing Interest Period on such basis as may be agreed by the Borrower and the respective Lender or Lenders as may be provided in the respective Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement.

The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental RL Commitment Agreement, and at such time, (i) the Total Revolving Loan Commitment under, and for all purposes of, this Agreement shall be increased by the aggregate amount of such Incremental RL Commitments, (ii) Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect the revised Revolving Loan Commitments of the affected Lenders and (iii) to the extent requested by any Incremental RL Lender, Revolving Notes will be issued, at the Borrowers’ expense, to such Incremental RL Lender in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.05.

(c) At the time of any provision of Incremental RL Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.16, the Borrower shall, in coordination with the Administrative Agent, repay outstanding Revolving Loans of certain of the RL Lenders, and incur additional Revolving Loans from certain other RL Lenders (including the Incremental RL Lenders), in each case to the extent necessary so that all of the RL Lenders participate in each outstanding Borrowing of Revolving Loans pro rata on the basis of their respective Revolving Loan Commitments (after giving effect to any increase in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.16) and with the Borrower being obligated to pay to the respective RL Lenders any costs of the type referred to in Section 2.11 in connection with any such repayment and/or Borrowing.

(ii)such Letter of Credit Issuer shall have received written notice from the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (at the request of the Required Lenders) prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit of the type described in clause (vi) of Section 3.01(c) or the last sentence of Section 3.02(b); or

(iii)the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate any laws or one or more policies of such Letter of Credit Issuer generally applicable to account parties.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to the Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid on the date of, and prior to the issuance of, the respective Letter of Credit) at such time, would exceed either (x) $75,000,000100,000,000 or (y) when added to the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding and all Swingline Loans then outstanding, the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time; (ii) (x) each Standby Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date occurring not later than one year after such Standby Letter of Credit’s date of issuance; provided that any such Standby Letter of Credit may be extendable for successive periods each of up to one year, but not beyond the 30th day preceding the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (except as expressly permitted by clause (iii) below), on terms acceptable to the respective Letter of Credit Issuer and (y) each Trade Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date occurring not later than 180 days after such Trade Letter of Credit’s date of issuance; (iii) no Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date occurring later than 30 days prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, unless such Letter of Credit is Cash Collateralized or Back-

(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Lender Default exists, no Letter of Credit Issuer shall be required to issue, amend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless the respective Letter of Credit Issuer has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate such Letter of Credit Issuer’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit of the Defaulting Lender or Defaulting Lenders, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s or Defaulting Lenders’ RL Percentage(s) of the Letter of Credit Outstandings (such arrangements, the “Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements”).

Any Lender hereunder which has issued an Existing Letter of Credit shall constitute a “Letter of Credit Issuer” for all purposes of this Agreement.

3.02. Letter of Credit Requests. (a) Whenever the Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the respective Letter of Credit Issuer written notice thereof at least four Business Days (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the respective Letter of Credit Issuer) prior to the proposed date of issuance (which shall be a Business Day) which written notice shall be in the form of Exhibit C (each, a “Letter of Credit Request”) and specify the currency in which the requested Letter of Credit is to be denominated. Each Letter of Credit Request shall include any other documents as such Letter of Credit Issuer customarily requires in connection therewith.

(b)The making of each Letter of Credit Request, and the acceptance of the benefits of each Letter of Credit issued hereunder, shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and it will



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-66-

not violate the requirements of, the first sentence of Section 3.01(b) and Section 3.01(c). Unless the respective Letter of Credit Issuer has received notice from the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 6 or 7, as the case may be, are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Section 3.01(c), then such Letter of Credit Issuer may issue the requested Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower in accordance with such Letter of Credit Issuer’s usual and customary practice. In no event shall any Letter of Credit Issuer have any obligation or liability to the L/C Participants as a result the failure of any Standby Letter of Credit or Trade Letter of Credit to conform to the purpose or beneficiary requirements for such type of Letter of Credit set forth in Section 3.01(a).

3.03. Letter of Credit Participations. (a) Immediately upon the issuance by a Letter of Credit Issuer of any Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each other RL Lender, and each such RL Lender (each, an “L/C Participant”) shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Letter of Credit Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such L/C Participant’s RL Percentage, in such Letter of Credit, each substitute Letter of Credit, each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto (although Letter of Credit Fees shall be payable directly to the Administrative Agent for the account of the RL Lenders as provided in Section 4.01(b) and the L/C Participants shall have no right to receive any portion of any Facing Fees with respect to such Letters of Credit) and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Revolving Loan Commitments or the RL Percentages of the RL Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13 or 13.07(b), it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings with respect thereto, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 3.03 to reflect the new RL Percentages of the assigning and assignee Lender or of all RL Lenders, as the case may be.

(b)In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, no Letter of Credit Issuer shall have any obligation relative to the L/C Participants other than to determine that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they appear to substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Letter of Credit Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment), shall not create for such Letter of Credit Issuer any resulting liability to the Borrower or any Lender.

(c)In the event that any Letter of Credit Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the Borrower shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 3.04(a), such Letter of Credit Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each L/C Participant of such failure, and each such L/C Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer in U.S. Dollars and in same day funds, the amount of such L/C Participant’s RL Percentage of such payment (in the case of a payment under a Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, taking the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the respective payment on the date such payment



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-67-

is made). If the Administrative Agent so notifies any L/C Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on any Business Day, such L/C Participant shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office for the account of the respective Letter of Credit Issuer such L/C Participant’s RL Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds (and, to the extent such notice is given after 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on any Business Day, such L/C Participant shall make such payment on the immediately following Business Day). If and to the extent such L/C Participant shall not have so made its RL Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the respective Letter of Credit Issuer, such L/C Participant agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer at the overnight Federal Funds Rate. The failure of any L/C Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the respective Letter of Credit Issuer its RL Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it shall not relieve any other L/C Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer its applicable RL Percentage of any payment under any such Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no L/C Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other L/C Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer such other L/C Participant’s RL Percentage of any such payment.

(d)Whenever any Letter of Credit Issuer receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer any payments from the L/C Participants pursuant to clause (c) above, such Letter of Credit Issuer shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each L/C Participant which has paid its RL Percentage thereof, in U.S. Dollars and in same day funds, an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s RL Percentage of the principal amount thereof and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective participations.

(e)Each Letter of Credit Issuer shall, promptly after each issuance of, or amendment or modification to, a Standby Letter of Credit issued by it, give the Administrative Agent, each L/C Participant and the Borrower written notice of the issuance of, or amendment or modification to, such Standby Letter of Credit.

(f)Each Letter of Credit Issuer (other than Bank of America) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, promptly on the first Business Day of each week, by facsimile transmission, the aggregate daily Stated Amount available to be drawn under the outstanding Trade Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer for the previous week.

(g)The obligations of the L/C Participants to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the respective Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it shall be irrevocable and not subject to counterclaim, set-off or other defense or any other qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-68-

(i)any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents;

(ii)the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), any Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer, any Lender, or other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit);

(iii)any draft, certificate or other document presented under the Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(iv)the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Credit Documents; or

(v)the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.

3.04. Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings. (a) The Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse each Letter of Credit Issuer, by making payment to the Administrative Agent in U.S. Dollars in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, for any payment or disbursement (in the case of any such payment or disbursement under any Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, taking the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the respective payment or disbursement on the date upon which the respective payment or disbursement is made) made by such Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit issued by it (each such amount so paid or disbursed until reimbursed, an “Unpaid Drawing”) no later than two Business Days after the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower of such payment or disbursement, with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Letter of Credit Issuer, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of such payment or disbursement, from and including the date paid or disbursed to but not including the date such Letter of Credit Issuer is reimbursed therefor at a rate per annum which shall be the then Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans plus the Base Rate, each as in effect from time to time (plus an additional 2% per annum if not reimbursed by the second Business Day after the date the Borrower is given notice of such payment or disbursement), such interest also to be payable on demand; provided that it is understood and agreed, however, that the notices referred to above in this clause (a) shall not be required to be given if a Default or an Event of Default under such Section 11.05 shall have occurred and be continuing (in which case the Unpaid Drawings shall be due and payable immediately without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by each Credit Party) and shall bear interest at a rate per annum which shall be (x) until the third Business Day following the respective Unpaid Drawing, the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans plus the Base Rate, each as in effect from time to time, and (y) at all times on and after the third Business Day following the respective Drawing, the rate per annum specified in preceding clause (x) plus 2%). Each Letter of Credit



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-69-

Issuer shall provide the Borrower prompt notice of any payment or disbursement made by it under any Letter of Credit issued by it, although the failure of, or delay in, giving any such notice shall not release or diminish the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 3.04(a) or under any other Section of this Agreement.

(b)The Borrower’s obligation under this Section 3.04 to reimburse the respective Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Unpaid Drawings on Letters of Credit (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may have or have had against such Letter of Credit Issuer, any Agent or any Lender, including, without limitation, any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit issued by it to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any nonapplication or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such drawing; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse such Letter of Credit Issuer for any wrongful payment made by such Letter of Credit Issuer under a Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of deliberate acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such Letter of Credit Issuer (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

3.05. Increased Costs. If after the Effective Date, any Letter of Credit Issuer or any L/C Participant determines in good faith that the adoption or effectiveness after the Effective Date of any applicable law, rule or regulation, order, guideline or request or any change therein, or any change after the Effective Date in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Letter of Credit Issuer or any L/C Participant with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) by any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall either (i) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant’s participation therein, or (ii) impose on any Letter of Credit Issuer or any L/C Participant any other conditions directly or indirectly affecting this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or such L/C Participant’s participation therein; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant hereunder or reduce the rate of return on its capital with respect to Letters of Credit, then, upon written demand to the Borrower by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant (a copy of which notice shall be sent by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent), accompanied by the certificate described in the last sentence of this Section 3.05, the Borrower agrees, subject to the provisions of Section 13.18 (to the extent applicable), to pay to such Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant for such increased cost or reduction. A certificate submitted to the Borrower by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant, as the case may be (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the determination of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant as aforesaid shall be final and conclusive and binding on the Borrower absent manifest error, although the failure to deliver any such certificate



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-70-

shall not release or diminish the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.05 upon subsequent receipt of such certificate.

3.06.Applicability of ISP and UCP; Conflicts; etc. (a) Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the respective Letter of Credit Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each Trade Letter of Credit.

(b)In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Request (or related application), the terms hereof shall control.

(c)Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for “the account of”, a Subsidiary of the Borrower, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the respective Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of its Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

SECTION 4. Fees; Commitments.

4.01.Fees. (a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Non-Defaulting Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment, a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) for the period from the Effective Date to but not including the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (or such earlier date as the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall have been terminated), computed at a rate for each day equal to the relevant Applicable Margin then in effect on the daily average Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender. Accrued Commitment Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (or such earlier date upon which the Total Revolving Loan Commitment is terminated).

(b) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for pro rata distribution to each RL Lender (based on their respective RL Percentages as from time to time in effect) in U.S. Dollars, a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans maintained as Eurodollar Loans then in effect on the daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit. Accrued Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and upon the first day on or after the termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment upon which no Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

(c) The Borrower shall pay to each Letter of Credit Issuer, for its own account, in U.S. Dollars, a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer (the “Facing Fee”) computed at the rate of 1/8 of 1% per annum on the daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit; provided that in no event shall the annual Facing Fee with respect to each Letter of Credit be less than $250; it being agreed that (x) on the date of issuance



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-71-

of any Letter of Credit and on each anniversary thereof prior to the termination of such Letter of Credit, if $250 will exceed the amount of Facing Fees that will accrue with respect to such Letter of Credit for the immediately succeeding 12-month period, the full $250 shall be payable on the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit and on each such anniversary thereof prior to the termination of such Letter of Credit and (y) if on the date of the termination of any Letter of Credit, $250 actually exceeds the amount of Facing Fees paid or payable with respect to such Letter of Credit for the period beginning on the date of the issuance thereof (or if the respective Letter of Credit has been outstanding for more than one year, the date of the last anniversary of the issuance thereof occurring prior to the termination of such Letter of Credit) and ending on the date of the termination thereof, an amount equal to such excess shall be paid as additional Facing Fees with respect to such Letter of Credit on the next date upon which Facing Fees are payable in accordance with the immediately succeeding sentence. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, accrued Facing Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and upon the first day on or after the termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment upon which no Letters of Credit remain outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent that the Borrower has paid advance facing fees to any Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to any Existing Letter of Credit under the Existing Credit Agreement, there shall be credited against the Facing Fees due to such Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement the amount of such advance facing fees which related to periods after the Initial Borrowing Date.

(d) The Borrower shall pay directly to each Letter of Credit Issuer upon each issuance of, payment under, and/or amendment of, a Letter of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer such amount as shall at the time of such issuance, payment or amendment be the administrative charge which such Letter of Credit Issuer is customarily charging for issuances of, payments under or amendments of, letters of credit issued by it.

(e) The Borrower shall pay to each Agent, for its own account, such other fees as may be agreed to in writing from time to time between the Borrower and such Agent, when and as due.

(f) All computations of Fees shall be made in accordance with Section 13.21(b).

4.02. Voluntary Termination or Reduction of Total Unutilized Revolving Loan

Commitment. (a) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior notice from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the Borrower shall have the right, without premium or penalty, to terminate or partially reduce the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment, in whole or in part; provided that (i) any such termination or partial reduction shall apply to proportionately and permanently reduce the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Lender with such a Commitment and (ii) any partial reduction pursuant to this Section 4.02(a) shall be in integral multiples of $1,000,000.

(b) In the event of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as provided in Section 13.01(b), the



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-72-

Borrower shall have the right, subject to obtaining the consents required by Section 13.01(b), upon five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), to terminate the entire Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender, so long as all Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and all other amounts, owing to such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 2.11 but excluding amounts owing in respect of any Tranche of Incremental Term Loans maintained by such Lender, if such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans are not being repaid pursuant to Section 13.01(b)) are repaid concurrently with the effectiveness of such termination (at which time Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect such changed amounts) and at such time, unless the respective Lender continues to have outstanding Incremental Term Loans hereunder, such Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement, except with respect to indemnifications under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.05, 5.04, 13.04, 13.05 and 13.19), which shall survive as to such repaid Lender.

4.03. Mandatory Reduction of Commitments. (a) [Reserved.]

(b) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 4.03, the Total Revolving Loan Commitment (and the Revolving Loan Commitment of each RL Lender) shall terminate in its entirety on the earliest to occur of (i) the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, (ii) February 28, 2015, if (and only if) the Borrower’s Pro Forma Liquidity as of such date is less than $200,000,000 (such date of required termination pursuant to this clause (ii), the “Early Termination Date”) and (iii) unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise consent in writing in their sole discretion, a Change of Control.

(c) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 4.03, the Total Incremental Term Loan Commitment under a given Tranche (and the Incremental Term Loan Commitment of each Lender in respect of such Tranche) shall terminate in its entirety on the Incremental Term Loan Borrowing Date for such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans (after giving effect to the incurrence of Incremental Term Loans of such Tranche on such date).

SECTION 5. Payments.

5.01. Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right to prepay the

Loans, and the right to allocate such prepayments to Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and/or any Tranche of Incremental Term Loans as the Borrower elects, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, from time to time on the following terms and conditions:

(i) the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to prepay the Loans, whether such Loans are Incremental Term Loans under a given Tranche, Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans, the amount of such prepayment, the Type of Loans to be repaid and (in the case of Eurodollar Loans) the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made, which notice (I) shall be given by the Borrower prior to 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) (x) at least one Business Day prior to the date of such



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-73-

prepayment in the case of Base Rate Loans, (y) on the date of such prepayment in the case of Swingline Loans and (z) at least three Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment in the case of Eurodollar Loans and (II) shall, except in the case of Swingline Loans, promptly be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to each of the Lenders;

(ii) each prepayment (other than prepayments in full of (x) all outstanding Base Rate Loans or (y) any outstanding Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least (x) $1,000,000, in the case of Incremental Term Loans maintained as Eurodollar Loans, (y) $500,000, in the case of Revolving Loans maintained as Eurodollar Loans and Incremental Term Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans and (z) $100,000, in the case of Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans and, in each case, if greater, in integral multiples of $100,000; provided, that no partial prepayment of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans outstanding pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto;

(iii) at the time of any prepayment of Eurodollar Loans pursuant to this Section 5.01 on any date other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall pay the amounts required pursuant to Section 2.11;

(iv) except as provided in clause (vii) below, each prepayment in respect of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing; provided, that at the Borrower’s election in connection with any prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 5.01, such prepayment shall not be applied to any Revolving Loans of a Defaulting Lender;

(v) except as provided in clause (vii) below, each voluntary prepayment of principal in respect of any Tranche of Incremental Term Loans made pursuant to this Section 5.01 shall be allocated among each of the outstanding Tranches of Incremental Term Loans on a pro rata basis, with each Tranche of Incremental Term Loans to be allocated its Incremental Term Loan Percentage of the amount of such prepayment;

(vi) each voluntary prepayment of any Tranche of Incremental Term Loans pursuant to this Section 5.01 shall be applied to reduce the then remaining Scheduled Incremental Term Loan Repayments of such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans in the manner set forth in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement for such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans; provided, however, that repayments of any Tranche of Incremental Term Loans pursuant to clause (vii) below shall only apply to reduce the then remaining Scheduled Incremental Term Loan Repayments of the respective Tranche of Incremental Term Loans to the extent the Tranche of Incremental Term Loans so repaid are not replaced (and are not required to be replaced) pursuant to Section 13.01(b), with any such reductions to reduce the then remaining Scheduled Incremental Term Loan Repayments of such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans in the manner provided above in this clause (vi), unless otherwise specifically agreed by the Required Lenders; and



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-74-

(vii) in the event of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as provided in Section 13.01(b), the Borrower may, upon five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), elect to repay all Loans of such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 2.11), together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and all other amounts then owing to such Lender (or owing to such Lender with respect to each Tranche which gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender’s individual consent) in accordance with said Section 13.01(b), so long as (A) in the case of the repayment of Revolving Loans of any Lender pursuant to this clause (vii), the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender is terminated concurrently with such repayment (at which time Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect the changed Revolving Loan Commitments) and (B) the consents required by Section 13.01(b) in connection with the repayment pursuant to this clause (vii) shall have been obtained.

5.02. Mandatory Repayments. (a) If on any date (including the Early Termination Date) the sum of (x) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans (after giving effect to all other repayments thereof on such date) and (y) the Letter of Credit Outstandings on such date, exceeds the Total Revolving Loan Commitment as then in effect, the Borrower shall repay on such date, the principal of Swingline Loans, and if no Swingline Loans are or remain outstanding, the principal of Revolving Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Swingline Loans and all outstanding Revolving Loans, the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Outstandings exceeds the Total Revolving Loan Commitment as then in effect, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office on such date an amount (in U.S. Dollars) in cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to such excess (up to the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time) and the Administrative Agent shall hold such payment as security for the obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders hereunder pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided that upon the occurrence of the Early Termination Date, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize all Letter of Credit Outstandings.

(b) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section

5.02, the Borrower shall be required to make, with respect to each Tranche of Incremental Term Loans, to the extent then outstanding, scheduled amortization payments of such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans on the dates and in the principal amounts set forth in the respective Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement (each such date, a “Scheduled Incremental Term Loan Repayment Date”, and each such repayment, as the same may be (x) reduced as provided in Section 5.01 or 5.02(h) or (y) increased as provided in Section 2.15(c), a “Scheduled Incremental Term Loan Repayment”).

5.02, within five Business Days after each date on or after the Effective Date upon which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries receives Net Sale Proceeds from any Asset Sale (other than receivables (and related assets) subject to the Chinese Factoring Program sold pursuant to Section 10.02(xiv) and/or a Foreign Receivables Facility sold pursuant to Section 10.02(xiii)), an



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-75-

amount equal to 100% of the Net Sale Proceeds from such Asset Sale shall be applied as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(g) and (h); provided that (i) such Net Sale Proceeds may be retained by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries without giving rise to a mandatory repayment as otherwise required above, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists at the time such Net Sale Proceeds are received and an Authorized Officer of the Borrower has delivered a certificate to the Administrative Agent on or prior to such date stating that such Net Sale Proceeds shall beare used to purchase capital assets used or to be used in the businesses permitted pursuant to Section 10.01 (including, without limitation (but only to the extent permitted by Section 10.05), the purchase of the capital stock of a Person engaged in such businesses) or, in the case of Net Sale Proceeds received in connection with an IRB Sale-Leaseback Transaction, to make an Investment of the type described in Section 10.05(xxii) within one year following the date of receipt of such Net Sale Proceeds from such Asset Sale (which certificate shall set forth the estimates of the proceeds to be so expended) and,; provided further, that if all or any portion of such proceeds not required to be applied as a mandatory repayment pursuant to the preceding proviso are either (A) not so used or committed to be so used within one year after the date of the receipt of such proceeds or (B) if committed to be used within one year after the date of receipt of such proceeds and not so used within 18 months after the date of the receipt of such proceeds then, in either such case, such remaining portion not used or committed to be used in the case of preceding clause (A), and not used in the case of preceding clause (B), shall be applied within 10 days after the date occurring one year after the date of the receipt of proceeds from such Asset Sale in the case of clause (A) above, or the date occurring 18 months after the date of the receipt of proceeds from the respective Asset Sale in the case of clause (B) above, as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(g) and (h).

(d) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section

5.02, within one Business Day after each date on or after the Effective Date on which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries receives any cash proceeds from any incurrence of Indebtedness by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 10.04 as in effect on the Effective Date), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of the respective incurrence of Indebtedness shall be applied as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(g) and (h).

(e) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section

5.02, to the extent that any Incremental Term Loans are then outstanding, an amount equal to the Applicable Excess Cash Flow Percentage of the Excess Cash Flow for the related Excess Cash Flow Period shall be applied as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(g) and (h) solely to the extent required by, and in accordance with the terms of, the applicable Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement governing such Incremental Term Loans.

(f) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section

5.02, within 10 days following each date on or after the Effective Date on which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries receives any proceeds from any Recovery Event (other than proceeds from Recovery Events in an amount less than $5,000,000 per Recovery Event), an amount equal to 100% of the proceeds of such Recovery Event (net of reasonable costs (including, without limitation, legal costs and expenses) and taxes incurred in connection with such Recovery Event



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-76-

and the amount of such proceeds required to be used to repay any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness of the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement) which is secured by the respective assets subject to such Recovery Event) shall be applied as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(g) and (h); provided that so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, such proceeds shall not be required to be so applied to the extent that an Authorized Officer of the Borrower has delivered a certificate to the Administrative Agent stating that such proceeds shall be used or shall be committed to be used to replace or restore any properties or assets in respect of which such proceeds were paid within one year following the date of receipt of such proceeds from such Recovery Event (which certificate shall set forth the estimates of the proceeds to be so expended); provided further, that if all or any portion of such proceeds not required to be applied as a mandatory repayment pursuant to the preceding proviso are either (A) not so used or committed to be so used within one year after the date of the receipt of such proceeds or (B) if committed to be used within one year after the date of receipt of such proceeds and not so used within 18 months after the date of the receipt of such proceeds then, in either such case, such remaining portion not used or committed to be used in the case of preceding clause (A), and not used in the case of preceding clause (B), shall be applied within 10 days after the date occurring one year after the date of the receipt of proceeds from such Recovery Event in the case of clause (A) above, or the date occurring 18 months after the date of the receipt of proceeds from the respective Recovery Event in the case of clause (B) above, as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(g) and (h).

(g) Each amount required to be applied pursuant to Sections 5.02(c), (d), (e) and (f) in accordance with this Section 5.02(g) shall be applied on and after the Effective Date to repay the outstanding principal amount of Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans (but without any corresponding reduction in the Revolving Loan Commitments); provided, however, that if any Incremental Term Loans are then outstanding, each such amount shall be applied (i) first, to repay the outstanding principal amount of Incremental Term Loans, with such amount to be allocated among each Tranche of outstanding Incremental Term Loans on a pro rata basis (based upon the Incremental Term Loan Percentages of the various Tranches of Incremental Term Loans and the then outstanding principal amounts of the respective Tranches of Incremental Term Loans) and (ii) second, to the extent in excess of the amounts required to be applied pursuant to preceding clause (i), to repay the outstanding principal amount of Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans (but without any corresponding reduction in the Revolving Loan Commitments). All repayments of outstanding Incremental Term Loans pursuant to Sections 5.02(c), (d), (e) and (f) shall be applied to reduce the then remaining Scheduled Incremental Term Loan Repayments of such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans in the manner set forth in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement for such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans.

(h) With respect to each repayment of Loans required by this Section 5.02, the Borrower may designate the Types of Loans of the respective Tranche which are to be repaid and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings of the respective Tranche pursuant to which made; provided that: (i) repayments of Eurodollar Loans pursuant to this Section 5.02 may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto unless all Eurodollar Loans of the respective Tranche with Interest Periods ending on such date of required repayment and all Base Rate Loans of the respective Tranche have first been paid in full; (ii) if any repayment of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-77-

the outstanding Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, such Borrowing shall be converted at the end of the then current Interest Period into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans; and (iii) each repayment of any Tranche of Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among the Loans comprising such Borrowing. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its sole discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.11. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.02, if at any time the mandatory repayment of Loans pursuant to Section 5.02(c), (d), (e) or (f) would result, after giving effect to the procedures set forth in this clause (i) above, in the Borrower incurring breakage costs under Section 2.11 as a result of Eurodollar Loans being repaid other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (any such Eurodollar Loans, “Affected Loans”), the Borrower may elect, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, to have the provisions of the following sentence be applicable so long as no Default or Event of Default is then in existence. At the time any Affected Loans are otherwise required to be prepaid the Borrower may elect, so long as no Default or Event of Default is then in existence, to deposit 100% (or such lesser percentage elected by the Borrower as not being repaid) of the principal amounts that otherwise would have been paid in respect of the Affected Loans with the Administrative Agent to be held as security for the obligations of the Borrower hereunder pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, with such cash collateral to be released from such cash collateral account (and applied to repay the principal amount of such Eurodollar Loans) upon each occurrence thereafter of the last day of an Interest Period applicable to Eurodollar Loans of the respective Tranche (or such earlier date or dates as shall be requested by the Borrower), with the amount to be so released and applied on the last day of each Interest Period to be the amount of such Eurodollar Loans to which such Interest Period applies (or, if less, the amount remaining in such cash collateral account).

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, (i) all then outstanding Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full on the Swingline Expiry Date, (ii) all other then outstanding Loans shall be repaid in full on the respective Maturity Date for such Tranche of Loans and (iii) unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing in their sole discretion, all outstanding Loans shall be repaid in full upon the occurrence of a Change of Control.

(j) If any RL Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender at any time that any Letter of Credit issued by any Letter of Credit Issuer is outstanding, the Borrower shall enter into the applicable Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements with such Issuing Lender no later than 15

Business Days (or such later date as may be agreed by the Letter of Credit Issuer in its sole discretion) after the date such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender.

5.03. Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement or any Note shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto not later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date when due and shall be made in immediately available funds and in U.S. Dollars at the Payment Office. Any payments under this Agreement or under any Note which are made later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) shall be deemed to



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-78-

have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension.

5.04. Net Payments. (a) All payments made by any Credit Party hereunder or

under any Credit Document or under any Note will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense. Except as provided in Section 5.04(b), all such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding (i) any tax imposed on, measured by or determined by reference to the net income or net profits of a Lender or franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or the jurisdiction in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located or any political subdivision of any such jurisdiction and (ii) any United States federal withholding tax that would not have been imposed but for a failure by such recipient (or any financial institution through which any payment is made to such recipient) to comply with the applicable requirements of FATCA) and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect to such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to collectively as “Taxes”). If any Taxes are so levied, imposed or collected through withholding or deduction, the Borrower (or any other Credit Party making the payment) agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes, and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement or under any Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in such Note. The Borrower (or the respective Credit Party) will furnish to the Administrative Agent within 45 days after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts or other documentation evidencing such payment by the Borrower (or such Credit Party). The Borrower agrees (and each Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to its Subsidiary Guaranty, and the incorporation by reference therein of the provisions of this Section 5.04, shall agree) to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, and reimburse such Lender upon its written request, for the amount of any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such Lender; provided that such Lender shall have provided the Borrower (or respective Subsidiary Guarantor) with evidence, reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower (or such Subsidiary Guarantor), of the payment of such Taxes.

(b) Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) (a “Foreign Lender”) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Effective Date, or in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.13 or 13.07 (unless the respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or transfer), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender, (i) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) (or successor forms) (“Forms”) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a

complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note, or (ii) if the 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 W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) pursuant to clause (i) above, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D (any such certificate, a “Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate” or “Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) (or successor form) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement and under any Note. In addition, each Foreign Lender shall, in the case of any payment made after December 31, 2012 in respect of any Loan, Letters of Credit, Note or Obligation that was not treated as outstanding for purposes of FATCA on March 18, 2012, provide any forms, documentation or other information as shall be prescribed by the IRS to demonstrate that the relevant Lender has complied with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including, without limitation, those contained in Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as enacted on the Effective Date, as applicable), so that such payments made to such Lender hereunder would not be subject to U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed by FATCA. In addition, each Lender agrees that from time to time after the Effective Date, when a lapse in time or change in circumstances or law renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect and at such times as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, it will deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two new accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect to the benefits of an income tax treaty), or Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) and a Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate, as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender to a complete exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Note, or it shall immediately notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to deliver any such Form or Certificate in which case such Lender shall not be required to deliver any such Form or Certificate pursuant to this Section 5.04(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.04(a), but subject to Section 13.07(b) and the immediately succeeding sentence, (x) the Borrower shall be entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by law, to deduct or withhold income or similar taxes imposed by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from interest, fees or other amounts payable hereunder for the account of any Lender which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes to the extent that such Lender has not provided to the Borrower the Forms, Certificates and other documentation that are required to establish a complete exemption from such deduction or withholding and (y) the Borrower shall not be obligated pursuant to Section 5.04(a) hereof to gross-up payments to be made to a Lender in respect of income or similar taxes imposed by the United States if (I) such Lender has not provided to the Borrower the Forms, Certificates and other documentation required to be provided to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.04(b) or (II) in the case of a payment, other than interest, to a Lender described in clause (ii) above, to the extent that such Forms do not establish a complete exemption from withholding of such taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding sentence or elsewhere in this Section 5.04 and except as set forth in Section 13.07(b), the Borrower agrees to pay additional amounts and to indemnify each Lender in the



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-80-

manner set forth in Section 5.04(a) (without regard to the identity of the jurisdiction requiring the deduction or withholding) in respect of any amounts deducted or withheld by it as described in the immediately preceding sentence as a result of any changes that are effective after the Effective Date in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting or withholding of such Taxes; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to increase amounts or indemnify any Lender to the extent that Taxes would not have been imposed but for such Lender’s failure to provide any Forms, Certificates and related documentation that it is legally entitled to provided and that would reduce or eliminate such Taxes.

(c) If the Borrower pays any additional amount under this Section 5.04 to a Lender and such Lender determines in its sole discretion that it has actually received or realized in connection therewith any refund or any reduction of, release or remission for or credit against, its Tax liabilities in or with respect to the taxable year in which the additional amount is paid (a “Tax Benefit”), such Lender shall pay to the Borrower an amount that the Lender shall, in its sole discretion, determine is equal to the net benefit, after tax, which was obtained by the Lender in such year as a consequence of such refund, reduction, release or remission for or credit; provided that (i) any Lender may determine in its sole discretion consistent with the policies of such Lender whether to seek a Tax Benefit, (ii) any Taxes that are imposed on a Lender as a result of a disallowance or reduction (including through the expiration of any tax carryover or carryback of such Lender that otherwise would not have expired) of any Tax Benefit with respect to which such Lender has made a payment to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.04(c) shall be treated as a Tax for which the Borrower is obligated to indemnify such Lender pursuant to this Section 5.04 without any exclusions or defenses, (iii) nothing in this Section 5.04(c) shall require a Lender to disclose any confidential information to the Borrower (including, without limitation, its tax returns), and (iv) no Lender shall be required to pay any amounts pursuant to this Section 5.04(c) at any time a Default or Event of Default then exists.

(d) Each Lender that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes (other than a Lender that may be treated as an exempt recipient under Treasury Regulations Section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii), subject to the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1(d)(4)) agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Effective Date or, in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section

2.13 or 13.07 (unless the respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or transfer), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender, two duly signed, properly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, certifying that such Lender is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax, or any successor form. If such Lender fails to deliver such forms, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable backup withholding tax imposed by the Code.

(e) The provisions of this Section 5.04 shall be subject to the provisions of

Section 13.18 (to the extent applicable).

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Credit Document, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall any Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender (or any Affiliate thereof) or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Credit Document or otherwise exist against the Agents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Credit Documents with reference to the Agents is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant 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 Credit Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof.

consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.

Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that each Lender has the right to request from the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent a copy of (x) any item required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6 which is required to be satisfactory in form, scope and substance to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Agent and (y) any Permitted Junior Notes Documents entered into in connection with Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 10.04(xxi).

The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 11; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, 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 or in the best interest of the Lenders.

12.06. Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by the Agents. Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower.

necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by an Agent herein, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Credit Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

12.07. Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Credit Party and without limiting the obligation of any Credit Party to do so) in proportion to their respective “percentage” as used in determining the Required Lenders (determined as of the time that the applicable indemnity payment is sought and as if there were no Defaulting Lenders) and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 12.07. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse each Agent upon demand for its ratable share (i.e., in proportion to such Lender’s respective “percentage” as used in determining the Required Lenders (determined as of the time that the applicable expense reimbursement is sought and as if there were no Defaulting Lenders)) of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by such Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Credit Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that such Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower.

After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 12 and Sections 13.04 and 13.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

12.10. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Letter of Credit Outstandings shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise

(a)to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Letter of Credit Outstandings and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Agents under Sections 4.01 and 13.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person, each Lender and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, partners, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Credit Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) any Commitment, Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Letter of Credit Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), or (c) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any Environmental Claim related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (d) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that (x) such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee and (y) that the Borrower shall only be responsible for the reasonable documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of one primary counsel to the Indemnitees (and, if reasonably necessary, one regulatory counsel and one local counsel in each Relevant Jurisdiction), and, solely in the case of any actual or potential conflict of interest as determined by any Indemnitee affected by such conflict, such Indemnitee’s own firm of counsel (and, if reasonably necessary, one regulatory counsel and one local counsel in each Relevant Jurisdiction to such affected Indemnitee). No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement. No party to this Agreement shall have any liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Effective Date); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve the Borrower of its indemnification obligations set forth in this Section 13.05 to the extent any Indemnitee is found so liable. All amounts due under this Section 13.05 shall be payable within ten Business Days after demand therefor. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

13.06. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to any Agent, the Collateral Agent, or any Lender, or any Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect, in the applicable currency of such recovery or payment.

13.07. Successors and Assigns. (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, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in Letters of Credit and in Swingline Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (as defined in subsection (g) of this Section) with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment and/or (without duplication) Loans subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than (x) $5,000,000, in the case of an assignment of Revolving Loan Commitments (and related Obligations) and (y) $1,000,000, in the case of an assignment of Incremental Term Loans, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the Borrower shall



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-151-

be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after having received notice thereof; provided further, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met; (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not (x) apply to rights in respect of Swingline Loans or (y) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its obligations as among separate Tranches on a non-pro rate basis; (iii) any assignment of a Revolving Loan Commitment must be approved by each of the Administrative Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer and the Swingline Lender; and (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.05, 5.04, 13.04 and 13.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 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 subsection (d) of this Section.

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Notice Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and Letter of Credit Outstandings owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or other substantive change to the Credit Documents is pending, any Lender wishing to consult with other Lenders in connection therewith may request and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of the Register.



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-152-

(d) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in Letters of Credit Outstandings and/or Swingline Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, except to the extent such amendment, modification or waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is not extended beyond the Revolving Loan Maturity Date) in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates or Fees) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment or of a mandatory repayment of Loans shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof and that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i), notwithstanding the fact that such amendment or modification actually results in such a reduction; provided that such amendment or modification was not made primarily for the purpose of reducing the interest rate or Fees hereunder), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under all of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Security Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder in which such participant is participating, (iv) amend or modify Section

13.19(a), except in connection with an amendment that provides for a prepayment of Loans by the Borrower (offered ratably to all Lenders with Loans under the applicable Tranche) at a discount to par on terms and conditions approved by the Required Lenders or (v) release the Borrower from this Agreement or the Borrower Guaranty. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.05 and 5.04 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.09 as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 13.19(b) as though it were a Lender.

(e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.05, or 5.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a non-



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-153-

U.S. Lender for purposes of Section 5.04 if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.04 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 5.04 as though it were a Lender.

(f) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note(s), if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) As used herein, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Eligible Assignee” means (a) a Lender; (b) an Affiliate of a Lender; (c) an Approved Fund; and (d) any other Person (other than a natural person) approved by (i) the Administrative Agent and, in the case of an assignment of Revolving Loan Commitments (and related Obligations), each Letter of Credit Issuer and the Swingline Lender, and (ii) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (each such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have approved any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after having received notice thereof; provided further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, “Eligible Assignee” shall not include the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

“Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is (or will be) engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business.

“Approved Fund” means any Fund 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.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as Letter of Credit Issuer and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower, resign as Swingline Lender. In the event of any such resignation as Letter of Credit Issuer or Swingline Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Letter of Credit Issuer or Swingline Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as Letter of Credit Issuer or Swingline Lender, as the case may be. If Bank of America resigns as Letter of Credit Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit Outstandings as of the effective date of its resignation as Letter of Credit Issuer and all Letter of Credit Outstandings with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to fund risk participations in Unpaid Drawings pursuant to Section 3.03(c)). If Bank of America resigns as Swingline Lender, it shall



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-154-

retain all the rights of the Swingline Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swingline Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Mandatory Borrowings pursuant to Section 2.01(e).

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 13.07(b) above, at any time after the termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment, if any Revolving Loans or Letters of Credit remain outstanding, assignments may be made as provided above in said Section, except that the respective assignment shall be of a portion of the outstanding Revolving Loans of the respective RL Lender and its participation in Letters of Credit and its obligation to make Mandatory Borrowings, although any such assignment effected after the termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall not release the assigning RL Lender from its obligations as an L/C Participant with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit or to fund its share of any Mandatory Borrowing (although the respective assignee may agree, as between itself and the respective assigning RL Lender, that it shall be responsible for such amounts).

(j) At the time of each assignment pursuant to Section 13.07(b) to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder and which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for Federal income tax purposes, the respective assignee Lender shall provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable a Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate and/or such forms, documentation or other information demonstrating an assignee has complied with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA) described in Section 5.04(b). To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 2.13 or Section 13.07(b) would, due to circumstances existing at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.05 or 5.04 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment).

13.08. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees

to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Credit Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower, (h) to the extent such Information



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-155-

(x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (i) to market data collectors and ratings agencies who are informed of the confidential nature of such information and are instructed to keep such information confidential or (j) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty's professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by confidentiality provisions at least as restrictive as the provisions of this Section 13.08). For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to confidential information of its customers.

13.09. Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by

law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender (acting in any capacity hereunder) is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Credit Party, any such notice being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Credit Party) to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the respective Credit Parties against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender hereunder or under any other Credit Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Credit Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or indebtedness. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

13.10. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Credit Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Credit Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-156-

13.11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

13.12. Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Credit Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Credit Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Credit Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Credit Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

13.13. Survival. (a) All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Credit Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time of any Credit Event, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

(b) All indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.05, 5.04, 12.07, 13.04 and 13.05, shall, subject to the provisions of Section 13.18 (to the extent applicable), survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making and repayment of the Loans.

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

13.15. Governing Law. (a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE; PROVIDED THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS ARISING UNDER FEDERAL LAW.

THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF ANY CREDIT DOCUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED THERETO.

L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with the Act.

13.18. Limitation on Additional Amounts; Cash Collateral, etc. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.05 or 5.04 of this Agreement, unless a Lender gives notice to the Borrower that it is obligated to pay an amount under such Section within six months after the later of (x) the date the Lender incurs the respective increased costs, Taxes, loss, expense or liability, reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-158-

capital or (y) the date such Lender has actual knowledge of its incurrence of the respective increased costs, Taxes, loss, expense or liability, reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, then such Lender shall only be entitled to be compensated for such amount pursuant to said Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.05 or 5.04, as the case may be, to the extent of the costs, Taxes, loss, expense or liability, reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital that are incurred or suffered on or after the date which occurs six months prior to such Lender giving notice to the Borrower that it is obligated to pay the respective amounts pursuant to said Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.05 or 5.04, as the case may be. This Section 13.18 shall have no applicability to any Section of this Agreement other than said Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.05 and 5.04.

(b) So long as no Default or Event of Default shall exist and be continuing, at any time that the Borrower has on deposit with the Collateral Agent any cash collateral securing any of the Obligations, the Borrower shall have the right to direct the Collateral Agent to invest such cash collateral in Cash Equivalents reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent until such time as such Cash Collateral is applied to the repayment of Obligations or otherwise disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

13.19. Payments Pro Rata; Sharing of Payments. (a) The Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of any Credit Party in respect of any Obligations of such Credit Party, it shall, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, distribute such payment to the Lenders (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.

(b) If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans (other than the Swingline Loans) made by it, or the participations in Letter of Credit Outstandings or in Swingline Loans held by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them and/or such subparticipations in the participations in Letter of Credit Outstandings or Swingline Loans held by them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 13.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender's ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender's required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off, but subject to Section 13.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-159-

The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding Sections 13.19(a) and (b) shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders.

13.20. Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Credit Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Credit Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

13.21. Calculations; Computations. (a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing by the Borrower to the Lenders); provided that except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all computations determining Excess Cash Flow (including the Applicable Excess Cash Flow Percentage), the Applicable Margins and compliance with Sections 5.02, 9.14 and 10, including in each case definitions used therein, shall, in each case, utilize accounting principles and policies in effect at the time of the preparation of, and in conformity with those used to prepare, the March 31, 2010 financial statements of the Borrower delivered to the Lenders pursuant to Section 8.09(b); provided further, that (i) to the extent expressly required pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, certain calculations shall be made on a Pro Forma Basis, (ii) for all purposes of this Agreement, all Chinese Receivables Indebtedness and



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-160-

other Foreign Receivables Indebtedness shall be treated as Indebtedness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries hereunder, regardless of any differing treatment pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles and (iii) for purposes of determining compliance with any incurrence or expenditure tests set forth in Sections 9 and/or 10, any amounts so incurred or expended (to the extent incurred or expended in a currency other than U.S. Dollars) shall be converted into U.S. Dollars on the basis of the exchange rates (as shown on Reuters ECB page 37 or such other comparable page as may, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, replace such page for the purpose of displaying such rates) as in effect on the date of such incurrence or expenditure under any provision of any such Section that has an aggregate U.S. Dollar limitation therein (and to the extent the respective incurrence or expenditure test regulates the aggregate amount outstanding at any time and is expressed in terms of U.S. Dollars, all outstanding amounts originally incurred or spent in currencies other than U.S. Dollars shall be converted into U.S. Dollars on the basis of the exchange rates (as shown on Reuters ECB page 37 or such other comparable page as may, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, replace such page for the purpose of displaying such rates) as in effect on the date of any new incurrence or expenditures made under any provision of any such Section that regulates the U.S. Dollar amount outstanding at any time).

(b) All computations of interest (except as provided in the immediately succeeding sentence) and Fees hereunder shall be made on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days. All computations of Base Rate interest hereunder determined by reference to clause (b) of the definition of “Base Rate” shall be made on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365/366 days.

13.22. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective on the date (the “Effective Date”) on which the Borrower, each Agent and each of the Lenders shall have signed a counterpart hereof (whether the same or different counterparts) and shall have delivered the same (including by way of facsimile transmission) to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office or at the office of the Administrative Agents’ counsel. The Administrative Agent will give the Borrower and each Lender prompt written notice of the occurrence of the Effective Date.

13.23. Headings Descriptive. The headings of the several sections and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

13.24. Domicile of Loans and Commitments. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans and/or Commitments at, to or for the account of any branch office, subsidiary or affiliate of such Lender; provided that the Borrower shall not be responsible for costs arising under Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.05 or 5.04 resulting from any such transfer (other than a transfer pursuant to Section 2.12) to the extent such costs would not otherwise be applicable to such Lender in the absence of such transfer.

13.25 Special Provisions Regarding Pledges of Equity Interests in, and Promissory Notes Owed by, Foreign Persons. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the provisions of the various Security Documents executed and delivered by the Credit Parties require that, among other things, all promissory notes executed by, and Equity Interests in, various Persons owned by



XXXXXXX 0000000 (2K)	-161-

the respective Credit Party be pledged, and delivered for pledge, pursuant to the Security Documents. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that each Credit Party shall be required to take all actions under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Credit Party is organized to create and perfect all security interests granted pursuant to the various Security Documents and to take all actions under the laws of the United States (or any state thereof) to perfect the security interests in the Equity Interests of, and promissory notes issued by, any Person organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof (in each case, to the extent said Equity Interests or promissory notes are owned by any Credit Party). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, to the extent any Security Document requires or provides for the pledge of promissory notes issued by, or Equity Interests in, any Person organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States or any state thereof, it is acknowledged that, as of the Initial Borrowing Date, no actions have been required to be taken to perfect, under local law of the jurisdiction of the Person who issued the respective promissory notes or whose Equity Interests are pledged, under the Security Documents. The Borrower hereby agrees that, following any request by the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders to do so, the Borrower shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, take such actions (including, without limitation, the execution of Additional Security Documents, the making of any filings and the delivery of appropriate legal opinions) under the local law of any jurisdiction with respect to which such actions have not already been taken as are reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders to be necessary or desirable in order to fully perfect, preserve or protect the security interests granted pursuant to the various Security Documents under the laws of such jurisdictions. If requested to do so pursuant to this Section 13.25, all such actions shall be taken in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.25 and Section 9.11 and within the time periods set forth therein. All conditions and representations contained in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to effect the foregoing and so that same are not violated by reason of the failure to take actions under local law (but only with respect to Equity Interests in, and promissory notes issued by, Persons organized under laws of jurisdictions other than the United States or any state thereof) not required to be taken in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.25; provided that to the extent any representation or warranty would not be true because the foregoing actions were not taken, the respective representation of warranties shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects at such time as the respective action is required to be taken in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.25 or pursuant to Section 9.11.

13.26. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Credit Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers, on the other hand, (B) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Credit Documents; (ii) (A) the Administrative Agent and each Joint Lead Arranger is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-162-

or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Joint Lead Arranger has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Joint Lead Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

13.27. Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

13.28. Post-Closing Actions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be required to take the actions specified on Schedule XI as promptly as practicable and in any event within the time periods set forth on Schedule XI (or such longer period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion). The provisions of Schedule XI shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference as if set forth herein in their entirety.

All provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including, without limitation, all conditions precedent, representations, warranties, covenants, events of default and other agreements herein and therein) shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to effect the foregoing (and to permit the taking of the actions described above within the time periods required above, rather than as otherwise provided in the Credit Documents); provided that (x) to the extent any representation and warranty would not be true because the foregoing actions were not taken on the Initial Borrowing Date, the respective representation and warranty shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects at the time the respective action is taken (or was required to be taken) in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.28 and (y) all representations and warranties relating to the Security Documents shall be required to be true immediately after the actions required to be taken by this Section 13.28 have been taken (or were required to be taken). The acceptance of the benefits of the Loans shall constitute a covenant and agreement by the Borrower to each of the Lenders that the actions required pursuant to this Section 13.28 will be, or have been, taken within the relevant time periods referred to in this Section 13.28 and that, at such time, all representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the other



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-163-

Credit Documents shall then be true and correct without any modification pursuant to this Section 13.28. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the failure to take any of the actions required above, within the relevant time periods required above, shall give rise to an immediate Event of Default pursuant to this Agreement.

SECTION 14. Borrower Guaranty.

14.01. The Borrower Guaranty. In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit hereunder and to induce the Lenders or any of their respective affiliates to enter into and/or maintain Interest Rate Protection Agreements, Other Hedging Agreements and Commodities Agreement (including the Existing Hedging Agreements), and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by each Credit Agreement Party from the proceeds of the Loans, the issuance of the Letters of Credit and the entering into and maintenance of Interest Rate Protection Agreements, Other Hedging Agreements and Commodities Agreement, the Borrower hereby agrees with the Lenders as follows: the Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of any and all of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors. If any or all of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors becomes due and payable hereunder, the Borrower unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Guaranteed Creditors, or order, on demand, together with any and all expenses which may be incurred by the Guaranteed Creditors in collecting any of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations. This Borrower Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. This Borrower Guaranty is a continuing one and all liabilities to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. If claim is ever made upon any Guaranteed Creditor for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations and any of the aforesaid payees repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such payee with any such claimant (including any Guaranteed Party), then and in such event the Borrower agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon it, notwithstanding any revocation of this Borrower Guaranty or any other instrument evidencing any liability of any other Guaranteed Party, and the Borrower shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee.

14.02. Bankruptcy. Additionally, the Borrower unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the payment of any and all of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors whether or not due or payable by any Guaranteed Party upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 11.05, and unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Guaranteed Creditors, or order, on demand.

14.03. Nature of Liability. The liability of the Borrower hereunder is exclusive and independent of any guaranty of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations whether executed by the Borrower, any other guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of the Borrower hereunder is not affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by any Guaranteed Party



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-164-

or by any other party, or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations, or (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, or (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by any Guaranteed Party, or (e) any payment made to the Guaranteed Creditors on the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations which any such Guaranteed Creditor repays to any Guaranteed Party pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and the Borrower waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding, or (f) any action or inaction of the type described in Section 14.05, or (g) the lack of validity or enforceability of any Credit Document or any other instrument relating thereto.

14.04. Independent Obligation. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations shall affect, impair or be a defense to this Borrower Guaranty, and this Borrower Guaranty shall be primary, absolute and unconditional notwithstanding the occurrence of any event or the existence of any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor except payment in full of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower. The obligations of the Borrower hereunder are independent of the obligations of any Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other Person and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Borrower whether or not action is brought against any Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other Person and whether or not any Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other Person be joined in any such action or actions. The Borrower waives, to the full extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by any Guaranteed Party with respect to any Relevant Guaranteed Obligations or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to such Guaranteed Party shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to the Borrower.

14.05. Authorization. The Borrower authorizes the Guaranteed Creditors without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to:

(a)change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the rate of interest thereon) or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and this Borrower Guaranty shall apply to the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed, increased or altered;

(b)take and hold security for the payment of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations and sell, exchange, release, impair, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset thereagainst;

(c)exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any Guaranteed Party or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-165-

(d)release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, any Guaranteed Party or other obligors;

(e)settle or compromise any of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of any Guaranteed Party to its respective creditors other than the Guaranteed Creditors;

(f)apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of any Guaranteed Party to the Guaranteed Creditors regardless of what liability or liabilities of such Guaranteed Party remain unpaid;

(g)consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, this Agreement, any other Credit Document, any Interest Rate Protection Agreement, Other Hedging Agreement or Commodity Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein or therein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement this Agreement, any other Credit Document, any Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Other Hedging Agreement or any of such other instruments or agreements; and/or

(h)take any other action which would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower from its liabilities under this Borrower Guaranty.

14.06. Reliance. It is not necessary for the Guaranteed Creditors to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guaranteed Party or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any Relevant Guaranteed Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder by the relevant Borrower.

14.07. Subordination. Any of the indebtedness of any Guaranteed Party now or hereafter owing to the Borrower is hereby subordinated to the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations of such Guaranteed Party owing to the Guaranteed Creditors; and if the Administrative Agent so requests at a time when an Event of Default exists, all such indebtedness of such Guaranteed Party to the Borrower shall be collected, enforced and received by the Borrower for the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors and be paid over to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Guaranteed Creditors on account of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations of such Guaranteed Party to the Guaranteed Creditors, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of the Borrower under the other provisions of this Borrower Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by the Borrower to any Person (other than a Subsidiary Guarantor) of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any of the indebtedness of any Guaranteed Party to the Borrower, the Borrower shall xxxx such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower hereby agrees with the Guaranteed Creditors that it will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Borrower Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until all Relevant Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash.

14.08. Waiver. (a) The Borrower waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require any Guaranteed Creditor to (i) proceed against



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-166-

any Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in any Guaranteed Creditor’s power whatsoever. The Borrower waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, other than payment in full in cash of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations, based on or arising out of the disability of any Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Guaranteed Party other than payment in full in cash of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations. The Guaranteed Creditors may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Guaranteed Creditors may have against any Guaranteed Party or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of the Borrower hereunder except to the extent the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower have been paid in full in cash. The Borrower waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Guaranteed Creditors, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the Borrower against any Guaranteed Party or any other party or any security.

(b)The Borrower waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including, without limitation, notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Borrower Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation, modification or incurring of new or additional Relevant Guaranteed Obligations. The Borrower assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Guaranteed Party’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which the Borrower assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that the Guaranteed Creditors shall have no duty to advise the Borrower of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks.

(c)Until such time as the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash, the Borrower hereby waives all rights of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Borrower Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise) to the claims of the Guaranteed Creditors against any other guarantor of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations and all contractual, statutory or common law rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity from any Guaranteed Party or any other guarantor which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Borrower Guaranty.

(d)The Borrower warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that if any of such waivers are determined to be contrary to any applicable law of public policy, such waivers shall be effective only to the maximum extent permitted by law.

14.09. Payments. All payments made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 14 shall be made in U.S. Dollars. All payments made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section14 will



NEWYORK 9228865 (2K)	-167-

be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense, and shall be subject to the payment provisions applicable to the Borrower in Sections 5.03 and 5.04.
