The borrowing of the Initial Term Loans may be a single ABR Loan or a single Eurodollar Loan, in each case, subject to conversion after the Closing Date in accordance with Section 3.3; provided, however, that the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice in substantially the form of Exhibit I (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City time) three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, if the Initial Term Loans are to be initially Eurodollar Loans.

(b) Revolving Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans (“Revolving Loans”) (provided that any repricing or conversion of an outstanding Revolving Loan shall not be considered a making of a Revolving Loan) to the Borrower from time to time during the Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that no Revolving Credit Lender shall be obligated to make a Revolving Loan if, after giving effect to the making of such Revolving Loan, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Available Commitment would be less than zero. During the Commitment Period the Borrower may use the Revolving Credit Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Revolving Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.

(c) The Loans may from time to time be (i) Eurodollar Loans, (ii) ABR Loans or (iii) a combination thereof, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 3.3.

2.2 Procedure for Borrowing. The Borrower may borrow Revolving Loans under the Revolving Credit Commitments during the Commitment Period on any Business Day; provided that the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice, in substantially the form of Exhibit I (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, (a) three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, if all or any part of the requested Revolving Loans are to be initially Eurodollar Loans or (b) on the requested Borrowing Date, if all of the requested Loans are to be initially ABR Loans), in each case specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed, (ii) the requested Borrowing Date, (iii) whether the borrowing is to be of Eurodollar Loans, ABR Loans or a combination thereof and (iv) if the borrowing is to be entirely or partly of Eurodollar Loans, the respective amounts of each such Type of Loan and the respective lengths of the initial Interest Periods for such Eurodollar Loans. Each borrowing of ABR Loans (other than Swingline Loans) shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $100,000, and each borrowing of Eurodollar Loans shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000. Upon receipt of any such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender thereof. Each Revolving Credit Lender will make the amount of its Commitment Percentage of each borrowing available to the Administrative

Agent for the account of the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s Office prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Such borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Revolving Credit Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent. The failure of any Revolving Credit Lender to make a Revolving Loan to be made by it as part of any borrowing shall not relieve any other Revolving Credit Lender of its obligation to make available its share of such borrowing.

2.3 Increase of Commitments. (a) Upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Borrower may from time to time (but not more than five times), request an increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments and/or the Term Loan Commitments (any Term Loan made pursuant to this Section 2.3(a), hereafter referred to as an “Incremental Term Loan”); provided that the aggregate amount of all increases in the amount of the Aggregate Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall not exceed $250,000,000. Such increase in the Aggregate Commitments may be provided by the Lenders or Eligible Assignees designated by the Borrower that are willing to provide such increase (an “Increasing Lender”) and to become Lenders pursuant to a “Joinder Agreement”, substantially in form of Exhibit K, pursuant to which such Increasing Lender shall become a party to this Agreement; provided that any such increases shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000. Nothing contained herein shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Lender to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Loan Commitment hereunder.

(b) If the Aggregate Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section 2.3, (i) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine (A) the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”), and (B) the final allocation of such increase and Schedule I attached hereto shall be automatically updated to reflect the same and (ii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders providing the Incremental Term Loans shall agree to the amortization schedule in respect of such Incremental Terms Loans pursuant to Section 3.2(e), and as provided in Section 3.2(e), are hereby authorized to attach Schedule 3.2(e) to this Agreement; provided, that the weighted average life to maturity of the Incremental Term Loans shall not be shorter than the existing weighted average life to maturity of the Initial Term Loans at such time. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date.

(c) As a condition precedent to such increase, (i) no Default shall exist, (ii) the Borrower shall (x) deliver to the Administrative Agent (1) a Joinder Agreement executed by the Borrower and the applicable Lender(s), and (2) a certificate dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer (A) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower approving or consenting to such increase, and (B) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase no Default exists and (iii) pursuant to the terms of the Fee Letter, pay the fees to the applicable Persons. On the applicable Increase Effective Date, the Revolving Credit

Commitment and/or the Term Loan Commitment, as the case may be, of each Increasing Lender shall be increased by the amount offered by (or, if applicable, allocated to) such Increasing Lender and the Aggregate Commitments shall be increased (and the Commitment Percentages adjusted) accordingly.

(d) This Section 2.3 shall supersede any provisions in Section 3.8 or 10.1 to the contrary.

(e) The parties hereto agree that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, each Increasing Lender and each other Lender, as applicable, may make arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such parties to cause an Increasing Lender to temporarily hold risk participations in the Revolving Loans of the other Lenders (rather than fund its Commitment Percentage of all outstanding Revolving Loans concurrently with the applicable increase) with a view toward minimizing breakage costs and transfers of funds in connection with any increase in the Aggregate Commitments. The Borrower acknowledges that if (despite any arrangements established pursuant to the foregoing sentence), as a result of a non-pro-rata increase in the Aggregate Commitments, any Eurodollar Loans must be prepaid or converted (in whole or in part) on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, then such prepayment or conversion shall be subject to the provisions of Section 3.12.

2.4 Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender a commitment fee for the period from the first day of the Commitment Period to the Termination Date, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate on the actual amount of the Available Commitment of such Revolving Credit Lender for each day during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the Termination Date.

2.5 Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than five Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments to an amount that is not less than the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender thereof.

(b) Subject to Section 2.3(a), the aggregate Term Loan Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero on the date of the borrowing of the Initial Term Loans.

2.6 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of

each Loan of such Lender on the Termination Date (or such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 8). The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay the principal amount of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 3.2(d) and as applicable, Section 3.2(e), and interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 3.5.

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

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 10.6(d), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount and Type of each Loan made hereunder and each Interest Period for each Eurodollar Loan, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to Section 2.6(b) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will sign and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Borrower evidencing the Loans of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit A with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount (a “Note”).

2.7 Swingline Loans.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender may (in its sole and absolute discretion) make a portion of the credit otherwise available to the Borrower under the Revolving Credit Commitments available from time to time during the Commitment Period by making swing line loans (“Swingline Loans”) to the Borrower; provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Swingline Amount and (ii) the Borrower shall not request, and the Swingline Lender shall not make, any Swingline Loan if, after giving effect to the making of such Swingline Loan, the aggregate amount of the Available Commitments would be less than zero. During the Commitment Period, the Borrower may borrow, repay, and reborrow Swingline Loans, subject to the agreement of the Swingline Lender and in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. All Swingline Loans shall be ABR Loans.

(b) The Borrower shall repay all outstanding Swingline Loans on the Termination Date.

2.8 Procedure for Swingline Borrowing and Prepayment; Refunding of Swingline Loans.

(a) Whenever the Borrower desires that the Swingline Lender make Swingline Loans it shall give the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent irrevocable telephonic notice confirmed promptly in writing (which telephonic notice must be received by the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date), specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed and (ii) the requested Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day during the Commitment Period). Each Swingline Loan shall be in an amount equal to $500,000 or a higher integral multiple of $50,000. Unless the Swingline Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Revolving Credit Lender) prior to 1:15 p.m., New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date (A) directing the Swingline Lender not to make such Swingline Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in Section 2.7(a)(ii) or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender may (in its sole and absolute discretion), not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date, make available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount of the Swingline Loan to be made by the Swingline Lender. The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of any such Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by depositing such proceeds in the account of the Borrower with the Administrative Agent on such Borrowing Date in immediately available funds.

(b) The Swingline Lender may, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), request each Revolving Credit Lender to make, and each Revolving Credit Lender hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Loan (which shall be an ABR Loan), in an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans (the “Refunded Swingline Loans”) outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the Swingline Lender. Such request shall be made in writing and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.2, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Revolving Loans. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office in immediately available funds, not later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time, on the Borrowing Date specified by the Swingline Lender. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be immediately made available by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender for application by the Swingline Lender to the repayment of the Refunded Swingline Loans. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender to charge the Borrower’s accounts with the Administrative Agent (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay the amount of such Refunded Swingline

Loans to the extent amounts received from the Revolving Credit Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full such Refunded Swingline Loans.

(c) If prior to the time a Revolving Loan would have otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.8(b), one of the events described in Section 8(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower or if for any other reason, as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, Revolving Loans may not be made as contemplated by Section 2.8(b), each Revolving Credit Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.8(b) (the “Refunding Date”), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the then outstanding Swingline Loans by paying to the Swingline Lender an amount (the “Swingline Participation Amount”) equal to (i) such Revolving Credit Lender’s Commitment Percentage times (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding that were to have been repaid with such Revolving Loans.

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

(e) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make the Revolving Loans referred to in Section 2.8(b) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.8(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving Credit Lender or the Borrower may have against the Swingline Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the existence of a Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Loan Party or any other Revolving Credit Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(f) The Borrower may from time to time prepay Swingline Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time on the date of prepayment, specifying the date and amount of prepayment. Partial prepayments of Swingline Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 or a higher

integral multiple of $50,000, and after giving effect to any such prepayment the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans shall not be less than $500,000.

SECTION 3. GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO THE LOANS

3.1 Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, at least three Business Days’ prior to the date of prepayment if all or any part of the Loans to be prepaid are Eurodollar Loans, and at least one Business Day prior to the date of prepayment if all of the Loans to be prepaid are ABR Loans, specifying the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans, ABR Loans or a combination thereof, and, if of a combination thereof, the amount allocable to each. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.12. Partial prepayments of ABR Loans (other than Swingline Loans) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $100,000, and partial prepayments of Eurodollar Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000. Prepayments under this Section 3.1 with respect to the Term Loans shall be applied ratably against the remaining scheduled installments of the Term Loans and among the Term Loan Lenders in accordance with each Term Loan Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Term Loan Facility until payment in full of the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding on such date.

3.2 Mandatory Commitment Reductions; Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) Concurrently with (i) any Asset Sale and (ii) any Shareholder Asset Sale with respect to an Investment Firm or other Restricted Subsidiary in which the Borrower holds, directly or indirectly, in excess of a 50% ownership interest, if, after giving effect to such Shareholder Asset Sale, the Borrower does not continue to hold, directly or indirectly, in excess of a 50% equity ownership interest in the relevant Investment Firm or Restricted Subsidiary, the Borrower, in accordance with clause (c) below, shall repay the aggregate principal amount of the Loans in an amount equal to the excess of the aggregate amount of the Net Proceeds of all Asset Sales and all such Shareholder Asset Sales made after February 8, 2007 over $200,000,000 and the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permanently reduced (rounded down, if necessary, to an integral multiple of $5,000,000) by the amount so applied to such Revolving Loans (excluding any portion of such amount previously applied to reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section 3.2); provided that the requirements of this clause (a) shall not apply to Net Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Shareholder Asset Sale to the extent that the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent prior to or concurrently with the receipt of such Net Proceeds that such Net Proceeds are intended to be used, and such Net Proceeds are in fact used, to purchase similar assets within 270 days after such Asset Sale or Shareholder Asset Sale; it being understood that any such Net Proceeds shall be applied as set forth above (without giving effect to this proviso) on the earlier of (a) the 271st day after such sale if not so used prior to such date and (b) the date on which the

Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that it does not intend to use such Net Proceeds as set forth in this proviso.

(b) If, as a result of the reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to clause (a), the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans and the Swingline Loans exceeds the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall immediately prepay Revolving Loans in the amount of such excess. All prepayments of Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 3.2(b) shall be made without premium or penalty (but shall be subject to Section 3.12) and shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being prepaid. Subject to clause (c) below, all such prepayments with respect to Revolving Loans shall be applied as directed in writing by the Borrower or, in the absence of such direction, first, to prepay Swingline Loans until the Swingline Loans are paid in full, second, to prepay Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans until such Revolving Loans are paid in full and, third, to prepay Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Loans until such Loans are paid in full.

(c) Except with respect to Section 3.2(b), each prepayment of Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.2 shall be applied, first, ratably to the Term Loan Facility and to the principal repayment installments thereof in the manner set forth in the last sentence of this clause (c) and, second, to the Revolving Credit Facility in the manner set forth in clause (b) above. Prepayments with respect to the Term Loans shall be applied ratably against the remaining scheduled installments of the Term Loans and among the Term Loan Lenders in accordance with each Term Loan Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Term Loan Facility until payment in full of the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding on such date.

(d) The Borrower shall repay to the Term Loan Lenders the aggregate principal amount of all Initial Term Loans outstanding on the following dates in the respective amounts set forth opposite such dates:

provided, however, that the final principal repayment installment of the Initial Term Loans shall be repaid on the Termination Date and in any event shall be in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all Initial Term Loans outstanding on such date.

(e) The Borrower shall repay to the Term Loan Lenders the aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Term Loans outstanding on the dates in the respective amounts set forth opposite such dates on Schedule 3.2(e) attached hereto (it being understood that such Schedule will be attached hereto at such time, if applicable, that the Incremental Term Loans are made). The final principal repayment installment of the Incremental Term Loans shall be repaid on the Termination Date and in any event shall be in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Term Loans outstanding on such date.

3.3 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days’ prior irrevocable written notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit J, of such election; provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans (other than ABR Loans which are Swingline Loans) to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable written notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit J, of such election. Any such notice of conversion to Eurodollar Loans shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods therefor. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Appropriate Lender thereof. All or any part of outstanding Eurodollar Loans and ABR Loans

may be converted as provided herein; provided that no Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined that such a conversion is not appropriate.

(b) Any Eurodollar Loans may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving written notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit J, to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans; provided that no Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has notified the Borrower that the Required Lenders have determined that such a continuation is not appropriate; and provided, further, that (i) if the Borrower fails to give such notice or if such continuation is not permitted, then such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period and (ii) if the Borrower gives a notice of continuation but fails to specify the applicable Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a one-month Interest Period.

3.4 Minimum Amounts and Maximum Number of Tranches. All borrowings, conversions and continuations of Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $5,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000. In no event shall there be more than 10 Eurodollar Tranches outstanding at any time.

3.5 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin; provided that so long as the Revolving Credit Lenders have not been required to purchase participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.8(c), Swingline Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin minus the Commitment Fee Rate.

(c) If any amount payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (after any applicable grace period), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws. Furthermore, upon the request of the Required Lenders, at any time an Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall pay interest on the Loans at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws.

(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and on the Termination Date; provided that interest accruing pursuant to Section 3.5(c) shall be payable from time to time on demand.

3.6 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest based on Bank of America’s “prime rate” shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 (or, if applicable, 366) days and for the actual number of days elapsed. All other interest and all fees shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and for the actual number of days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the Appropriate Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or the Eurodollar Reserve Percentage shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the Appropriate Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in the ABR or the Eurodollar Reserve Percentage.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower or any Lender, deliver to the Borrower or such Lender a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 3.5(a).

3.7 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

(a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or

(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by the Required Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,

then the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof, to the Borrower and the Appropriate Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given, (x) any Eurodollar Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any ABR Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans that were to be continued on the first day of such Interest Period shall be converted to ABR Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans to Eurodollar Loans.

3.8 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Except as provided in Section 2.3(e), each borrowing by the Borrower from the Revolving Credit Lenders hereunder (other than borrowings of Swingline Loans), each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee hereunder and any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the

Revolving Credit Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Commitment Percentages of the Revolving Credit Lenders. Subject to Sections 2.3(e) and 3.8(c), each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Credit Lenders; provided that payments in respect of Swingline Loans that have not been refunded with Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.8(b) shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender only (subject to the Swingline Lender’s obligation to share with any participants in the Swingline Loans). Subject to Sections 2.3(e) and 3.8(c), each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the Term Loan Lenders. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without set off or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Appropriate Lenders at the Administrative Agent’s Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds (and funds received after that time shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day). The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Appropriate Lenders promptly upon receipt (and if such payment is received prior to 12:00 noon, on the same day) in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its portion of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon, for the period from such Borrowing Date until such Lender makes such amount available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the daily average Federal Funds Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amount owing under this subsection shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s portion of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans hereunder, on demand, from the Borrower.

(c) In the event that a Lender fails to make available after a period of three Business Days to the Administrative Agent its portion of a borrowing (any such Lender, a

“Defaulting Lender”), the Borrower may replace such Lender as provided in Section 3.14. Notwithstanding any such replacement, no Defaulting Lender shall be released from any of its rights or obligations under any Loan Document (including Section 9.7) for actions taken or failed to be taken by it prior to the date of such substitution.

3.9 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be cancelled and (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 3.12.

3.10 Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i) shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Note or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 3.11 and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income, or franchise taxes imposed in lieu of income taxes, of such Lender);

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate hereunder; or

(iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender in good xxxxx xxxxx to be material, of agreeing to make or maintain, or of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining, Eurodollar Loans or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days after receipt of a certificate in accordance with Section 3.10(c)) pay such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with

any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender in good faith to be material, then the Borrower shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days after receipt of a certificate in accordance with this Section 3.10(b), pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will fairly compensate such Lender for such reduction in the return on capital.

(c) If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.10, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled; provided that no additional amount shall be payable under this Section 3.10 for a period longer than nine months prior to such notice to the Borrower. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.10 submitted by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The agreements in this Section shall survive for a period of one year after the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. In determining whether to make a claim, and calculating the amount of compensation, under this Section 3.10, each Lender shall apply standards that are not inconsistent with those generally applied by such Lender in similar circumstances.

3.11 Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement and any Notes shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent or such Lender having signed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any Note). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any Note, the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement. In addition, if any Non-Excluded Taxes are directly imposed on or asserted against the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to any payment received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender hereunder, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may pay such Non-Excluded Taxes and the Borrower will promptly pay such additional amount (including any penalty, interest or expense) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender after the payment of such Non-Excluded Taxes (including any taxes on such additional amounts)

shall equal the amount such Person would have received had such Non-Excluded Taxes not been imposed or asserted. Notwithstanding the foregoing two sentences, the Borrower shall not be required to increase any amount payable, or pay any additional amount, under this Section 3.11(a) to any Lender that is not organized under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof if such Lender fails to comply with the requirements of Section 3.11(b). Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this subsection shall survive for a period of one year the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(b) Each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof shall:

(i) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN, or successor applicable form, as the case may be;

(ii) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further copies of any such form or certification on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower; and

(iii) obtain such extensions of time for filing and complete such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent;

unless in any such case an event (including any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender so advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Such Lender shall certify that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each Person that shall become a Lender or a Participant pursuant to Section 10.6 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all of the forms and statements required pursuant to this subsection; provided that in the case of a Participant such Participant shall furnish all such required forms and statements to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased.

(c) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal

to such refund (but not more than the indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to the relevant portion of such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender if the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

3.12 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so prepaid, borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to prepay, borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

3.13 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that if it makes any demand for payment under Section 3.10 or 3.11(a), or if any adoption or change of the type described in Section 3.9 shall occur with respect to it, it will use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions and so long as such efforts would not be unreasonably disadvantageous to it, as determined in its reasonable sole discretion) to designate a different lending office if the making of such a designation would reduce or obviate the need for the Borrower to make payments under Section 3.10 or 3.11(a), or would eliminate or reduce the effect of any adoption or change described in Section 3.9.

3.14 Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender (i) makes any demand for payment under Section 3.10 or 3.11(a), (ii) becomes subject to an event described in Section 3.9, (iii) does not consent to a proposed amendment or supplement to, or waiver of or other modification of, this Agreement that (A) requires the approval of all Lenders (or all affected

Lenders) and (B) has been approved by the Required Lenders, or (iv) is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.6(c)), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(1) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in
Section 10.6(e);

(2) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.12, calculated as if such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans were paid in full on the date of such assignment) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(3) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a demand for payment under Section 3.10 or 3.11(a), such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(4) the Borrower may not require any Lender to make such assignment pursuant to clause (iii) above unless all other Lenders that did not consent to the relevant amendment, supplement, waiver or modification are concurrently required to assign all of their interests, rights and obligations hereunder; and

(5) such assignment does not conflict with applicable laws.

(b) A Lender shall not be required to make any assignment and delegation pursuant to this Section 3.14 if, prior thereto (as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise), the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

4.1 Financial Condition. The Borrower has heretofore furnished to each Lender copies of (i) the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2006 and the related audited consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal year ended on such date, audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and (ii) the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at September 30, 2007 and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the six-month period ended on such date (the “Financial

Statements”). The Financial Statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2006 and September 30, 2007 and present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnote disclosure). The Financial Statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the period involved. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.1, neither the Borrower nor any consolidated Subsidiary had, at December 31, 2006 or at the date hereof, any material Guarantee Obligation, material contingent liability or material liability for taxes, or any material long-term lease or unusual material forward or long-term commitment, including any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction, which is not reflected in the foregoing statements or in the notes thereto. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.1, during the period from December 31, 2006 through the date hereof there has been no sale, transfer or other disposition by the Borrower or any of its consolidated Subsidiaries of any material part of its business or property and no purchase or other acquisition of any business or property (including any capital stock of any other Person) material in relation to the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006.

4.2 No Change. Since December 31, 2006, except as set forth in the Financial Statements and except as set forth on Schedule 4.2, there has been no development or event which has had or could have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.3 Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law. Each of the Borrower, each Restricted Subsidiary and each other Subsidiary Guarantor (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its material properties, to lease the material properties it operates as lessee and to conduct the businesses in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation, partnership or limited liability company, as applicable, and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with its certificate of incorporation and by-laws or other similar organizational or governing documents and with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.4 Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the corporate power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party. The Borrower has the corporate power and authority, and the legal right to borrow hereunder and has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize such borrowings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any Notes. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the borrowings hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of any Loan Documents against any Loan Party that is a party thereto; provided that the Administrative Agent’s rights under the Pledge Agreements are subject to the terms and

provisions thereof. This Agreement has been, and each other Loan Document will be when delivered, duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party that is party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document when delivered will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party which is a party thereto, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

4.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of each Loan Document to which such Person is party, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any certificate of incorporation and by-laws or other similar organizational or governing documents, Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation applicable to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, except for such violations of Requirements of Law or Contractual Obligations which could not, singly or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of the properties or revenues of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to any such organizational or governing document, Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation, except pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

4.6 No Material Litigation. No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened by or against the Borrower or any Subsidiary or against any of its or their respective properties or revenues which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.7 No Default. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

4.8 Ownership of Property; Liens. Each of the Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary has good record and marketable title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its material real property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other material property, and none of such property is subject to any Lien except as permitted by Section 7.3.

4.9 Taxes. Each of the Borrower and each Subsidiary has filed or caused to be filed all material tax returns which, to the knowledge of the Borrower, are required to be filed or has timely filed a request for an extension of such filing and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or extension requests or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and, except as set forth on Schedule 4.9, all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (except, in each case, to the extent the amount or validity thereof is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on

the books of the Borrower and as to any of which the failure to pay would not have a Material Adverse Effect).

4.10 Federal Regulations. (a) None of the Pledged Collateral consists of “margin stock” (within the meaning of Regulation U). “Margin stock” (within the meaning of Regulation U) constitutes less than 25% of the value of those assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries which are subject to any limitation on sale or pledge or any similar restriction hereunder. If requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form U-1 referred to in Regulation U.

(b) The Borrower is not subject to regulation under any Federal or State statute or regulation (other than Regulation X of the FRB) which limits its ability to incur Indebtedness.

4.11 ERISA. No Reportable Event has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Plan, and each Plan has complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code. The present value of all accrued benefits under any Single Employer Plan maintained by the Borrower or any Commonly Controlled Entity (based on those assumptions used to fund the Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits. There are no Multiemployer Plans. Neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan.

4.12 Investment Company Act; Investment Advisers Act. (a) None of the Borrower, any Restricted Subsidiary or any other Subsidiary Guarantor is, or after giving effect to any Acquisition will be, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.

(b) Each Subsidiary and each other Investment Firm is, to the extent required thereby, duly registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act, except to the extent the failure to be so registered could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. On the date hereof, the Borrower is not an “investment adviser” within the meaning of the Investment Advisers Act. Each Fund which is sponsored by any Subsidiary or other Investment Firm and which is required to be registered as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act is duly registered as such thereunder, except to the extent the failure to be so registered could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) The Borrower is not required to be registered as a broker-dealer under the Securities Acts (and each Subsidiary and other Investment Firm required to be so registered is so duly registered), except to the extent the failure to be so registered could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(d) Each of the Borrower, each Restricted Subsidiary and each other Investment Firm is duly registered, licensed or qualified as an investment adviser or broker-dealer in each State of the United States where the conduct of its business requires such registration, licensing or qualification and is in compliance in all material respects with all Federal and State laws requiring such registration, licensing or qualification, except to the extent the failure to be so registered, licensed or qualified or to be in such compliance will not have, in the case of Federal laws, or could not reasonably be expected to have, in the case of State laws, a Material Adverse Effect.

4.13 Subsidiaries and Other Ownership Interests. The Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 4.13 constitute the only Subsidiaries of the Borrower as at the date hereof. The Borrower has as at the date hereof, directly or indirectly, an equity or other ownership interest in each Investment Firm and each other Person listed on Schedule 4.13; and other than as set forth on such schedule, the Borrower has no such interest, directly or indirectly, in any other Person.

4.14 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the (a) Term Loans on the Closing Date shall be used by the Borrower to repay a portion of the outstanding revolving loans under the Existing Credit Agreement and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and thereafter to make Acquisitions and other investments (including acquisitions of additional Capital Stock in Subsidiaries and Affiliates of the Borrower) and (b) Revolving Loans shall be used by the Borrower (i) for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes (including to make payments on the Zero-Coupon Bonds and any securities exchanged therefor and to make interest payments in respect of the Feline Prides II Senior Notes), (ii) to make Acquisitions and other investments (including acquisitions of additional Capital Stock in Subsidiaries and Affiliates of the Borrower), (iii) to purchase, repay or redeem any debt or equity of the Borrower or any Subsidiary so long as such purchase, repayment or redemption is not prohibited by any other provision of this Agreement and (iv) to pay fees and expenses to be incurred in connection with the foregoing.

4.15 Accuracy and Completeness of Information. To the best of the Borrower’s knowledge, the documents furnished and the statements made in writing to the Lenders by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection with the negotiation, preparation or execution of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of fact material to the credit worthiness of the Borrower or omit to state any such material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading under the circumstances in which such statements were made, in either case which has not been corrected, supplemented or remedied by subsequent documents furnished or statements made in writing to the Lenders prior to the date hereof.

4.16 Pledge Agreements. The provisions of each Pledge Agreement are effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in all right, title and interest of the Restricted Loan Party that is party thereto in the collateral covered thereby and all necessary actions have been taken to create a first priority perfected Lien in such collateral.

SECTION 9. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

9.1 Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provision (provided that the Borrower shall have the rights granted to the Borrower pursuant to Section 9.6).

9.2 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial

advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

9.3 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duty, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

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

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary under the circumstances) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any covenant, agreement or other term or condition set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 5 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

9.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic

message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed in good faith by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

9.5 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

9.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any Loan Document, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those

payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as Swingline Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swingline Lender, and (b) the retiring Swingline Lender shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations as such hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

9.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

9.8 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In the case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable and 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 and all other obligations of any Loan Party 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 Administrative Agent hereunder) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the

reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amount due the Administrative Agent under Section 2.4 or 10.5.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

9.9 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of the Loans and all other obligations under the Loan Documents (other than contingent indemnification obligations), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Supermajority Lenders or, if required by Section 10.1, all Lenders; and

(b) to release any guarantor from its obligations under any guarantee if such Person ceases to be a wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiary or a first tier wholly-owned Unrestricted Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Supermajority Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any guarantor from its obligations under any guarantee pursuant to this Section 9.9. The Administrative Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Lenders of any release of a Lien pursuant to Section 9.9(a)(ii) or release of a guarantor pursuant to Section 9.9(b).

9.10 Other Agents; Arranger and Managers. None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the cover page or signature pages of this Agreement, or elsewhere herein, as a “co-syndication agent,” “co-documentation agent,” “co-agent,” “book manager,” “arranger” or “lead arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than, in the case of a Person that is a Lender, those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

any Lender or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person, an “Indemnitee”), against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including Attorney

Costs) incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) above to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any of its Related Parties, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Commitment Percentage as set forth in the last column on Schedule I (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such or against such Related Party acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity.

(d) Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees that it will not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(e) Payments. All amounts payable under this Section 10.5 shall be due not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor.

(f) Survival. The agreements in this Section 10.5 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 other obligations hereunder.

10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender.

(b) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such 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 as to those matters listed in the first proviso in Section 10.1(a). The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement; provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 10.7(a) as fully as if it were a Lender hereunder. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.10, 3.11 and 3.12 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if it was a Lender; provided that, in the case of Section 3.11, such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of said Section and provided, further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred.

(c) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time and from time to time assign to any Lender or any affiliate thereof or, with the consent of each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has been continuing for a period of 30 or more consecutive days, the Borrower (which in each case shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to an additional bank or financial institution (an “Assignee”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption, substantially in the form of Exhibit E, executed by such Assignee, such assigning Lender (and, in the case of an Assignee that is not then a Lender or an Affiliate thereof, by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided that, in the case of any such assignment to an additional bank or financial institution (other than an assignment of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations with respect to such assigning Lender’s Commitments and/or Term Loans), the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans and the aggregate amount of the unused Commitments, as applicable, being assigned and, if such assignment is of less than all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender, the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans and the aggregate amount of the unused Commitments, as applicable, remaining with the assigning Lender are each not less than $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent). Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording pursuant to clause (e) below, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption, have (in addition to any such rights and obligations preferably held by it) the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with a Commitment as set forth therein, and (y) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such assigning Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may (and, in the case of any Loan or other obligation hereunder not evidenced by a Note, shall) treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Loan or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any assignment of any Loan or other obligation hereunder not evidenced by a Note shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee (and, in the case of an Assignee that is not then a

Lender or an Affiliate thereof, by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, if required) together with payment by the Lenders party thereto to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (which fee the Administrative Agent may waive in its sole and complete discretion), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Assumption and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the Borrower.

(f) The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee approved by the Borrower (which approval shall not be required if an Event of Default has been continuing for a period of 30 or more consecutive days), which approval, if required, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, subject to the provisions of Section 10.15, any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrower and its Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement; provided that prior to such disclosure each such prospective Transferee shall have executed a confidentiality agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit F.

(g) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section concerning assignments of Loans and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law.

10.7 Adjustments; Set-off. (a) If any Lender (a “benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set–off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans, or interest thereon, such benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loan, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in

any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

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

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

10.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the agreement of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

10.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

10.12 Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

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

(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in (or removed to) such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially

similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the Borrower at its address determined pursuant to Section 10.2(a) or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

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

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

10.13 Acknowledgements. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that:

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

(b) none of the Arranger, the Administrative Agent or any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to the Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and the relationship between the Arranger, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on one hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among the Borrower and the Lenders.

Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.13, the Borrower acknowledges that (i) it is capable of evaluating and understanding, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) in connection with the process leading to such transactions, the Arranger and the Administrative Agent is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not a financial advisor, an agent or a fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates; (iii) neither the Arranger nor the Administrative Agent has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (regardless of whether any Agent Party has advised or is currently advising the Borrower or any of its Affiliates on any other matter); (iv) neither the Arranger nor the Administrative Agent has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except as expressly set forth herein or in another Loan Document; (v) the Agent Parties may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and no Agent Party has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (vi) neither the Arranger nor the Administrative Agent has provided or will provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby and the Borrower has consulted with its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate in connection herewith. In addition, the Borrower waives and

releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claim that it may have against the Arranger and the Administrative Agent for any breach or alleged breach of any agency or fiduciary duty.

10.14 WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

10.15 Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees to keep confidential any written or oral information (a) provided to it by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or (b) obtained by such Lender based on a review of the books and records of the Borrower or any Subsidiary; provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Lender from disclosing any such information (i) to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or to any Person who evaluates, approves, structures or administers the Loans on behalf of a Lender and who is subject to this confidentiality provision, (ii) to any Transferee or prospective Transferee which agrees in writing to comply with the provisions of this Section, (iii) to its employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors who are directly involved in the execution of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and have been informed of their obligations under this Section 10.15, (iv) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such Lender, (v) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law (notice of which shall be provided promptly to the Borrower), (vi) which has been publicly disclosed other than in breach of this Agreement, or (vii) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder.

10.16 Designation of Subsidiaries as Restricted or Unrestricted. The Borrower may, by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Designation Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L, (a) concurrently with the creation or acquisition (directly or indirectly) of a Subsidiary, designate such Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (and, in the absence of such designation, such Subsidiary shall be a Restricted Subsidiary); and (b) designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that the Borrower may not make any such designation pursuant to this Section 10.16 if a Default exists or would result therefrom. The Borrower may not designate a Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

10.17 Effect of Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement amends and restates the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety. After the effectiveness hereof pursuant to Section 5, the provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be of no further force or effect, except for provisions thereof that by their express terms survive termination thereof.

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

FORM OF NOTE

[Date]

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Affiliated Managers Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to (the “Lender”), at the Administrative Agent’s Office in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, on the Termination Date the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all [Revolving Loans][Term Loans] made by the Lender to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement referred to below. The Borrower further agrees to pay interest in like money at such office on the unpaid principal amount hereof from time to time outstanding at the rates and on the dates specified in the Credit Agreement.

The Lender is authorized to record in its records, or on the schedules annexed hereto, the date, Type and amount of each [Revolving Loan][Term Loan] made by it pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal thereof, each continuation thereof, each conversion of all or a portion thereof to the other Type and, in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, the length of each Interest Period with respect thereto. Each such recordation shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information recorded. The failure to make any such recordation shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower in respect of any such Loan.

This Note (a) is one of the Notes referred to in the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of November 27, 2007 (as amended or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) among the Borrower, the Lender, various other financial institutions and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, (b) is subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement and (c) is subject to optional and mandatory prepayment in whole or in part as provided in the Credit Agreement. This Note is secured and guaranteed as provided in the Loan Documents. Reference is hereby made to the Loan Documents for a description of the properties and assets in which a security interest has been granted, the nature and extent of the security and the guarantees, the terms and conditions upon which the security interests and each guarantee were granted and the rights of the holder of this Note in respect thereof.

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, all amounts then remaining unpaid on this Note may become, or may be declared to be, immediately due and payable, all as provided in the Credit Agreement.

All parties now and hereafter liable with respect to this Note, whether maker, principal, surety, guarantor, endorser or otherwise, hereby waive presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind.

Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.

THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (or would result therefrom or from any failure to comply with Section 3.2 of the Credit Agreement (to the extent required) in connection therewith), any sums paid upon or in respect of the Pledged Collateral upon the liquidation or dissolution of any Issuer shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent to be held by it hereunder as additional collateral security for the Obligations, and in case any distribution of capital shall be made on or in respect of the Pledged Collateral or any property shall be distributed upon or with respect to the Pledged Collateral pursuant to the recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of any Issuer or pursuant to the reorganization thereof, the property so distributed shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent to be held by it hereunder as

B-1-6

additional collateral security for the Obligations. If any sums of money or property so paid or distributed in respect of the Pledged Collateral shall be received by the Pledgor, the Pledgor shall, until such money or property is paid or delivered to the Administrative Agent, hold such money or property in trust for the Lenders, segregated from other funds of the Pledgor, as additional collateral security for the Obligations.

(b) Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Pledgor will not (1) vote to enable, or take any other action to permit, any Issuer to issue any stock or other equity interests of any nature or to issue any other securities convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any stock or other equity interests of any nature of any Issuer other than as permitted under the Credit Agreement; (2) sell, assign, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the Pledged Collateral, other than as expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement; (3) create, incur or permit to exist any Lien or option in favor of, or any claim of any Person with respect to, any of the Pledged Collateral, or any interest therein, other than as expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement (including the security interests created by this Agreement); or (4) enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of the Pledgor or the Administrative Agent to sell, assign or transfer any of the Pledged Collateral.

(c) The Pledgor shall maintain the security interest created by this Agreement as a perfected security interest (unless otherwise expressly permitted herein, including pursuant to Section 5(b)) and shall defend such security interest against claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever. At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Administrative Agent and at the sole expense of the Pledgor, the Pledgor will promptly and duly execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and take such further actions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted. If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Pledged Collateral shall be or become evidenced by any promissory note, other instrument or chattel paper, such note, instrument or chattel paper shall be immediately delivered to the Administrative Agent, duly endorsed in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, to be held as Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Agreement.

(e) The Pledgor will not, unless it shall give 20 days’ written notice to such effect to the Administrative Agent and any filings under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any affected jurisdiction as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to maintain the perfected security interest granted pursuant to this Agreement shall have been made, change its state of organization or incorporation or its name, identity or corporate structure such that any

B-1-7

financing statement filed to perfect the Administrative Agent’s interests under this Agreement would become seriously misleading (provided that this clause (e) shall not be deemed to authorize any change or transaction prohibited under the Credit Agreement).

(f) The Pledgor will furnish the Administrative Agent or any Lender such information concerning the Pledged Collateral as the Administrative Agent (on its own behalf or on behalf of any Lender) may from time to time reasonably request, and will permit the Administrative Agent (on its own behalf or on behalf of any Lender) or any designee of the Administrative Agent, from time to time at reasonable times and on reasonable notice (or at any time without notice during the existence of an Event of Default), to inspect, audit and make copies of and extracts from all records and other papers in the possession of the Pledgor which pertain to the Pledged Collateral, and will upon the request of the Administrative Agent at any time when an Event of Default exists, deliver to the Administrative Agent all of such records and papers.

7. Rights of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent. (a) All money Proceeds received by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in a Collateral Account which shall bear interest for the benefit of the Pledgor in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s customary procedures for similar deposit accounts. All Proceeds while held by the Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account (or by the Pledgor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 8(a).

(b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall give notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the Pledgor, (1) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends and distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral and make application thereof to the Obligations ratably in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement as payment of the outstanding Obligations held by the Lenders, and (2) all shares of the Pledged Stock and all LLC Interests and Partnership Interests shall be registered in the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee, and the Administrative Agent or its nominee may thereafter exercise (A) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such shares of the Pledged Stock at any meeting of shareholders of any Issuer or otherwise, (B) all rights, powers and privileges with respect to the LLC Interests

B-1-8

and Partnership Interests and (C) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to the Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate, limited liability company or partnership structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by the Pledgor or the Administrative Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to the Pledged Collateral, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Collateral with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to the Pledgor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

8. Remedies. (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Administrative Agent’s election, the Administrative Agent may apply all or any part of Proceeds held in any Collateral Account in payment of the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon the Pledgor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, assign, give option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, in the over-the-counter market, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Pledgor, which right or equity is hereby waived or released. The Administrative Agent shall apply any Proceeds from time to time held by it and the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in respect thereof or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Pledged Collateral or in any way relating to the Pledged Collateral or the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder, including Attorney Costs of the Administrative Agent, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement as payment of the outstanding Obligations held by the Lenders, and only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including Sections 9-608(a)(1)(C) or 9¬615(a)(3) of the Code, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the

B-1-9

Pledgor.

If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. The Pledgor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of Pledged Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations.

9. Registration Rights; Private Sales. (a) If the Administrative Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to Section 8 hereof, and if in the opinion of the Administrative Agent it is necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, the Pledgor will use its best efforts to cause the Issuer thereof (1) to execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of such Issuer to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, necessary or advisable to register the Pledged Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (2) to use its best efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of one year from the date of the first public offering of the Pledged Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, and (3) to make all amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto. The Pledgor agrees to use its best efforts to cause such Issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any and all jurisdictions which the Administrative Agent shall designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

(b) The Pledgor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Collateral, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner The Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.

(c) The Pledgor further agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Section valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Requirements of Law. The Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and

B-1-10

the Lenders, that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against the Pledgor, and the Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Credit Agreement.

(d) In any sale the Administrative Agent will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain appropriate covenants to protect the Pledgor from liabilities under Section 15(f) of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

10. Irrevocable Authorization and Instruction to Issuer.

A waiver by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent or such Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion.

(c) The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

(d) This Agreement may be supplemented from time to time, as described in and in accordance with the Credit Agreement, through the execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Pledge Agreement Supplement substantially in the form of Annex I hereto. The Pledgor agrees that the Administrative Agent may from time to time attach as Schedule 1 hereto an updated list of Pledged Collateral at the time of delivery of such Pledge Agreement Supplement.

18. Section Headings. The section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

19. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Pledgor and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their successors and assigns.

20. Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement shall amend and restate in its entirety the Existing Pledge Agreement on the Closing Date. On the Closing Date, all the rights and obligations of the respective parties under the Existing Pledge Agreement shall be subsumed within and governed by this Agreement; provided, the security interests granted pursuant to the Existing Pledge Agreement shall continue to be in effect hereunder as set forth in Section 2, subject to any limitations set forth in the other sections of this Agreement.

21. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

22. Certain Partnership Agreement and Limited Liability Company Agreement Provisions. The Pledgor to the extent permitted by applicable law, hereby irrevocably waives any and all provisions of the Partnership Agreement and Limited Liability Company Agreement of each Subsidiary of the Pledgor (as applicable) that (a) prohibit, restrict, condition or otherwise affect the grant hereunder of any Lien on any of the Pledged Collateral (or any enforcement action which may be taken in respect of any such Lien, including, without limitation, any foreclosure upon or subsequent disposition of such equity interest by the Administrative Agent or any Lender) or (b) otherwise conflict with the terms of this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Pledgor hereby agrees that, by its signature below, this Agreement shall constitute the consent of the Pledgor under each Partnership Agreement or Limited Liability Company Agreement of a Subsidiary of the Pledgor (as applicable) to each of the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, any foreclosure upon or

If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (or would result therefrom or from any failure to comply with Section 3.2 of the Credit Agreement (to the extent required) in connection therewith), any sums paid upon or in respect of the Pledged

B-2-6

Collateral of such Pledgor upon the liquidation or dissolution of any Issuer shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent to be held by it hereunder as additional collateral security for the Obligations of such Pledgor, and in case any distribution of capital shall be made on or in respect of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor or any property shall be distributed upon or with respect to the Pledged Collateral pursuant to the recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of any Issuer or pursuant to the reorganization thereof, the property so distributed shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent to be held by it hereunder as additional collateral security for the Obligations of such Pledgor. If any sums of money or property so paid or distributed in respect of the Pledged Collateral shall be received by such Pledgor, such Pledgor shall, until such money or property is paid or delivered to the Administrative Agent, hold such money or property in trust for the Lenders, segregated from other funds of such Pledgor, as additional collateral security for the Obligations of such Pledgor.

(b) Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such Pledgor will not (1) vote to enable, or take any other action to permit, any Issuer to issue any stock or other equity interests of any nature or to issue any other securities convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any stock or other equity interests of any nature of any Issuer other than as permitted under the Credit Agreement; (2) sell, assign, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor, other than as expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement; (3) create, incur or permit to exist any Lien or option in favor of, or any claim of any Person with respect to, any of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor, or any interest therein, other than as expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement (including the security interests created by this Agreement); or (4) enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of such Pledgor or the Administrative Agent to sell, assign or transfer any of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor.

(c) Such Pledgor shall maintain the security interest created by this Agreement as a perfected security interest (unless otherwise expressly permitted herein, including pursuant to Section 5(b)) and shall defend such security interest against claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever. At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Administrative Agent and at the sole expense of such Pledgor, such Pledgor will promptly and duly execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and take such further actions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted. If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor shall be or become evidenced by any promissory note, other instrument or chattel paper, such note, instrument or chattel paper shall be immediately delivered to the Administrative Agent, duly endorsed in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, to be held as Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Agreement. Each applicable Pledgor shall cause each Issuer of Partnership Interests or LLC Interests to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a transaction statement, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, and each such Pledgor shall execute and deliver to each Issuer of Partnership Interests or LLC Interests a letter substantially in the form of Exhibit B.

(d) Such Pledgor shall pay, and save the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be

B-2-7

payable with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) Such Pledgor will not, unless it shall give 20 days’ written notice to such effect to the Administrative Agent and any filings under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any affected jurisdiction as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to maintain the perfected security interest granted pursuant to this Agreement shall have been made, change its state of organization or incorporation or its name, identity or corporate structure such that any financing statement filed to perfect the Administrative Agent’s interests under this Agreement would become seriously misleading (provided that this clause (e) shall not be deemed to authorize any change or transaction prohibited under the Credit Agreement).

(f) Such Pledgor will furnish the Administrative Agent or any Lender such information concerning the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor as the Administrative Agent (on its own behalf or on behalf of any Lender) may from time to time reasonably request, and will permit the Administrative Agent (on its own behalf or on behalf of any Lender) or any designee of the Administrative Agent, from time to time at reasonable times and on reasonable notice (or at any time without notice during the existence of an Event of Default), to inspect, audit and make copies of and extracts from all records and other papers in the possession of such Pledgor which pertain to the Pledged Collateral, and will upon the request of the Administrative Agent at any time when an Event of Default exists, deliver to the Administrative Agent all of such records and papers.

6. Cash Dividends; Voting Rights. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have given notice to the Pledgors of the Administrative Agent’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 7 below, each Pledgor shall be permitted to receive all lawful cash dividends and cash distributions paid, except as limited by the Credit Agreement or as required to be paid over to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, in respect of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor and to exercise all voting and corporate, member or partnership rights with respect to the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or corporate, member or partnership right exercised or other action taken which, in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable judgment, would impair the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor or which would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the Credit Agreement, the Notes, this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

7. Rights of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent. (a) All money Proceeds received by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in a Collateral Account which shall bear interest for the benefit of the applicable Pledgor in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s customary procedures for similar deposit accounts. All Proceeds while held by the Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account (or by the Pledgors in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations of the applicable Pledgor and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 8(a).

(b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall give notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the applicable

B-2-8

Pledgor, (1) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends and distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor and make application thereof to the Obligations of such Pledgor ratably in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement as payment of the outstanding Obligations held by the Lenders, and (2) all shares of the Pledged Stock and all LLC Interests and Partnership Interests shall be registered in the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee, and the Administrative Agent or its nominee may thereafter exercise (A) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such shares of the Pledged Stock at any meeting of shareholders of any Issuer or otherwise, (B) all rights, powers and privileges with respect to the LLC Interests and Partnership Interests and (C) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate, limited liability company or partnership structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by such Pledgor or the Administrative Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to the Pledged Collateral, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Collateral with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to any Pledgor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

B-2-9

of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in respect thereof or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Pledged Collateral or in any way relating to the Pledged Collateral or the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder, including Attorney Costs of the Administrative Agent, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement as payment of the outstanding Obligations held by the Lenders, and only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including Sections 9-608(a)(1)(C) or 9- 615(a)(3) of the Code, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the applicable Pledgor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Pledgor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent or any Lender arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. Each Pledgor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor are insufficient to pay the Obligations of such Pledgor.

9. Registration Rights; Private Sales. (a) If the Administrative Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to Section 8 hereof, and if in the opinion of the Administrative Agent it is necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, each applicable Pledgor will use its best efforts to cause the Issuer thereof (1) to execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of such Issuer to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, necessary or advisable to register the Pledged Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (2) to use its best efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of one year from the date of the first public offering of the Pledged Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, and (3) to make all amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto. Each applicable Pledgor agrees to use its best efforts to cause the such Issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any and all jurisdictions which the Administrative Agent shall designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

(b) Each Pledgor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Collateral, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The

B-2-10

Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.

(c) Each Pledgor further agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Section valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Requirements of Law. Each Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against such Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Credit Agreement.

(d) In any sale the Administrative Agent will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain appropriate covenants to protect the applicable Pledgor from liabilities under Section 15(f) of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

10. Irrevocable Authorization and Instruction to Issuer. Each Pledgor hereby authorizes and agrees to use its best efforts to cause each Issuer of its Pledged Collateral to comply with any instruction received by it from the Administrative Agent in writing that (a) states that an Event of Default has occurred and (b) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Pledgor, and such Pledgor agrees that such Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying.

11. Administrative Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact. (a) Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent and any officer or agent of the Administrative Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor or in the Administrative Agent’s own name, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any financing statements, endorsements, assignments or other instruments of transfer.

(b) Each Pledgor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done pursuant to the power of attorney granted in Section 11(a). All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are

B-2-11

irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.

13. Financing Statements. Each Pledgor authorizes the Administrative Agent to file financing statements, continuation statements and amendments to financing statements with respect to the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor in such form and in such filing offices as the Administrative Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement for filing in any jurisdiction.

14. Authority of Administrative Agent. Each Pledgor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Administrative Agent and such Pledgor, the Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Lenders with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and neither any Pledgor nor any Issuer shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

15. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Administrative Agent or any Pledgor to be effective shall be in writing (or by fax or similar electronic transfer confirmed in writing) and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made (1) when delivered or (2) five days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid or (3) if by fax or similar electronic transfer, when sent and receipt has been confirmed, addressed to the Administrative Agent or to the Borrower on behalf of, in each case the applicable Pledgor at its address or transmission number for notices provided in Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement. The Administrative Agent and the Pledgors may change their addresses and transmission numbers for notices by notice in the manner provided in this Section.

B-2-12

such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(b) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 17(a) hereof), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent or such Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion.

(c) The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

(d) This Agreement may be supplemented and one or more additional Persons may become parties hereto from time to time, as described in and in accordance with the Credit Agreement, through the execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Pledge Agreement Supplement substantially in the form of Annex I hereto. Each Pledgor agrees that the Administrative Agent may from time to time attach as Schedule 1 hereto an updated list of Pledged Collateral at the time of delivery of such Pledge Agreement Supplement.

18. Ratification and Guarantee. (a) Each Pledgor hereby confirms that, pursuant to the Existing Pledge Agreement, it guaranteed to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the Borrower when due of the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in the Existing Pledge Agreement). To continue to guarantee the prompt and complete payment and performance when due of the Guaranteed Obligations, each Pledgor hereby (i) ratifies and restates such guaranty, and (ii) in addition, each Pledgor hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the Borrower when due of the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of each Pledgor under this paragraph shall be limited to the maximum amount of the Guaranteed Obligations that such Pledgor may guaranty without rendering its obligations under this paragraph void or voidable with respect to such Pledgor under any fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer law.

(b) To the extent permitted by law, this Section shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional and irrevocable guarantee of payment without regard to

B-2-13

(i) the validity or unenforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (ii) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower or any Pledgor or any other Person against the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Person, (iii) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document or any Hedge Agreement, as the case may be, (iv) any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Hedge Agreement, as the case may be, (v) any release, impairment, nonperfection or invalidity of any other guaranty for the Guaranteed Obligations (or any portion thereof), (vi) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Borrower or the Borrower’s assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Borrower contained in the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Hedge Agreement or (vii) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower or any Pledgor) (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower for the Guaranteed Obligations, or of any Pledgor under this Agreement, in bankruptcy or in any other instance.

(c) Each Pledgor’s obligations as guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments shall have terminated and all Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash. If at any time any payment of principal, interest or any other amount payable by the Borrower under or in connection with the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Hedge Agreement is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, any other Person or otherwise, each Pledgor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

(d) Each Pledgor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the Borrower or any other Person.

(e) Notwithstanding any payment made by or for the account of the Borrower pursuant to this Section, no Pledgor shall be subrogated to any right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or have any right to obtain reimbursement from the Borrower, until such time as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have received final payment in cash of the full amount of the Guaranteed Obligations and the Commitments shall have been terminated.

(f) If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Borrower under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Hedge Agreement is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of the Credit Agreement shall nonetheless be payable by the Pledgors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent.

B-2-14

19. Section Headings. The section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

20. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Pledgors and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their successors and assigns.

21. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

22. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(b) agrees that any such action or proceeding may be brought in (or removed to) such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Pledgor in care of the Borrower at its address in Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

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

23. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PLEDGOR AND (BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS HEREOF) THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FOR ITSELF AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

24. Certain Partnership Agreement and Limited Liability Company Agreement Provisions. Each Pledgor to the extent permitted by applicable law, hereby irrevocably waives any and all provisions of the Partnership Agreement and Limited Liability

B-2-15

Company Agreement of each Subsidiary of such Pledgor (as applicable) that (a) prohibit, restrict, condition or otherwise affect the grant hereunder of any Lien on any of the Pledged Collateral (or any enforcement action which may be taken in respect of any such Lien, including, without limitation, any foreclosure upon or subsequent disposition of such equity interest by the Administrative Agent or any Lender) or (b) otherwise conflict with the terms of this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Pledgor hereby agrees that, by its signature below, this Agreement shall constitute the consent of such Pledgor under each Partnership Agreement or Limited Liability Company Agreement of a Subsidiary of such Pledgor (as applicable) to each of the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, any foreclosure upon or subsequent disposition of such equity interest by the Administrative Agent or any Lender), to the extent any such consent is required thereunder.

FORM OF OPINION OF BORROWER’S COUNSEL

[ ] [ ], 2007

To the Lenders and the Administrative Agent

party to the Credit Agreement

referred to below

c/o Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent

000 Xxxxx Xxxxx

Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx 00000

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is being furnished to you pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Credit Agreement”), among Affiliated Managers Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the several Lenders from time to time parties thereto. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

We have acted as counsel to the Borrower, the Delaware corporations identified on Exhibit A hereto (the “Delaware Corporations”), the Delaware limited liability companies identified on Exhibit A hereto (the “Delaware LLCs”), the Delaware partnership identified on Exhibit A hereto (the “Delaware Partnership,” and, together with the Delaware Corporations, Delaware LLCs and the Borrower, the “Delaware Entities”), Xxxxx & Xxxxxx, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (“Xxxxx”), and First Quadrant Corp., a New Jersey corporation (“First Quadrant” and, together with the Delaware Entities and Xxxxx, the “Loan Parties”), in connection with the Credit Agreement, the Pledge Agreements and the Notes being delivered today by the Loan Parties under the Credit Agreement (which agreements and instruments are referred to herein collectively as the “Credit Documents”).

We have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents and records and have made such investigation of fact and such examination of law as we have deemed appropriate in order to enable us to render the opinions set forth herein. In conducting such investigation, we have relied, without independent verification, upon certificates of officers of the Borrower, public officials and other appropriate Persons, and on the representations and warranties as to matters of fact and on the covenants as to the application of proceeds contained in the Credit Documents.

The opinions expressed herein are limited to matters governed by the laws of the State of New York and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Delaware Revised Uniform Partnership Act, the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, and the federal laws of the United States of America and, in the case of paragraph 13, Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in Delaware. For purposes of

D-1

rendering the opinions expressed below, we have assumed that the Delaware Partnership is governed as a general partnership under Delaware law.

We have assumed that First Quadrant (a) is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of New Jersey and (b) has the corporate power to own its property and assets, to conduct the business in which it is engaged, to execute and deliver each of the Credit Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder, and that First Quadrant has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Credit Documents to which it is a party.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and subject to the additional qualifications set forth below, we are of the opinion that:

1. Each of the Borrower and the Delaware Corporations (a) is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and (b) has the corporate power to own its property and assets, to conduct the business in which it is engaged, to execute and deliver each of the Credit Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder.

2. Each of the Delaware LLCs (a) is validly existing as a limited liability company and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and (b) has the company power to own its property and assets, to conduct the business in which it is engaged, to execute and deliver each of the Credit Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder.

3. The Delaware Partnership (a) is validly existing as a partnership and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and (b) has the partnership power to own its property and assets, to conduct the business in which it is engaged, to execute and deliver each of the Credit Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder.

4. Xxxxx (a) is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and (b) has the corporate power to own its property and assets, to conduct the business in which it is engaged, to execute and deliver each of the Credit Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder.

5. Each of the Delaware Entities and Xxxxx has duly authorized, executed and delivered each of the Credit Documents to which it is party.

6. Subject to the qualifications set forth in the unnumbered paragraphs at the end hereof, each of the Credit Documents constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such of the Loan Parties as is party thereto and is enforceable against each such Person in accordance with its terms.

D-2

7. The execution and delivery by the Loan Parties of the Credit Documents to which each such Person is party, and the performance by each such Person of its obligations thereunder, (a) will not violate any provision of any Massachusetts, New York or federal law, statute, rule or regulation or of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Delaware Revised Uniform Partnership Act or the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, as applicable, (b) will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default), result in the creation of a Lien or require the repurchase of securities under, any of the agreements, instruments, court orders, judgments and decrees listed on Exhibit B hereto or the acceleration of any indebtedness of the Loan Parties and (c) will not violate or require the repurchase of securities under the governing documents of any of the Delaware Entities or Xxxxx.

8. Except as may be required in order to perfect the Liens contemplated by any of the Credit Documents, no consent, approval, license or exemption by, or order or authorization of, or filing, recording or registration with, any governmental authority under Massachusetts, New York or federal law or the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Delaware Revised Uniform Partnership Act or the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, as applicable, is required to be obtained by any Loan Party in connection with the execution and delivery of the Credit Documents to which such Person is party or the performance by each such Person of its obligations thereunder.

9. To our knowledge, after having made inquiry of an officer of the Borrower but without having made any other investigation, none of the Loan Parties is a party to any action, suit or proceeding which places in question the validity or enforceability of, or seeks to enjoin the performance of, the Credit Documents.

10. None of the Loan Parties is an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or a “holding company,” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company,” or an “affiliate” of a “holding company” or of a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company” within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended.

11. Neither the making of the Loans under the Credit Agreement, nor the application of the proceeds thereof as provided in the Credit Agreement, will violate Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

12. Each of the Pledge Agreements creates a valid security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent in the Pledged Collateral (as defined in the Pledge Agreements) described therein to the extent that such security interest can be created under Article 9 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code to secure the

D-3

Obligations and Guaranteed Obligations (each as defined in the Pledge Agreements).

13. The initial financing statements attached as Exhibit C (the “Delaware Financing Statements”) are to be filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware. The Credit Documents constitute authorization by the debtor party thereto for the filing of the Delaware Financing Statements for purposes of Section 9-509 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Delaware. The Delaware Financing Statements include all of the information required by Section 9-502(a) of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Delaware. Upon filing of the Delaware Financing Statements with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Filing Office”), the security interests granted by the Credit Documents in the Pledged Collateral described in the Delaware Financing Statements will be perfected to the extent that a security interest in such Pledged Collateral can be perfected under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Delaware by the filing of a financing statement in the Delaware Filing Office.

14. The initial financing statement attached as Exhibit D (the “Massachusetts Financing Statement”) is to be filed with the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Credit Documents constitute authorization by the debtor party thereto for the filing of the Massachusetts Financing Statement for purposes of Section 9-509 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Massachusetts Financing Statement includes all of the information required by Section 9-502(a) of the Uniform Commercial Code of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Upon filing of the Massachusetts Financing Statement with the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (the “Massachusetts Filing Office”), the security interests granted by the Credit Documents in the Pledged Collateral described in the Massachusetts Financing Statement will be perfected to the extent that a security interest in such Pledged Collateral can be perfected under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts by the filing of a financing statement in the Massachusetts Filing Office.

15. After giving effect to the delivery in the State of New York to the Administrative Agent of the certificates evidencing Pledged Collateral listed as certificated on Schedule 1 to the Pledge Agreements (collectively, the “Pledged Securities”) and the related security powers pursuant to the Pledge Agreements, and assuming that the Lenders had no “notice of an adverse claim” (as such term is used in the New York Uniform Commercial Code) with respect to such Pledged Securities at the time of delivery of such certificates to the Administrative Agent, the security interest in such Pledged Securities created in favor of the Administrative Agent under the Pledge Agreements constitutes a perfected security interest in such

D-4

Pledged Securities, free of any “adverse claim” (as so defined) in the New York Uniform Commercial Code.

Our opinion that the Credit Documents to which the Loan Parties are party constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such of the foregoing Persons as are party thereto, enforceable against each such Person party thereto in accordance with its terms, is subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and other similar laws of general application affecting the rights and remedies of creditors and secured parties and (ii) general principles of equity.

The opinions expressed herein do not purport to cover, and we express no opinion with respect to, the applicability of Section 548 of the federal Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state law.

The opinions expressed herein are subject to the qualification that the enforceability of provisions in the Credit Documents providing for indemnification or contribution may be limited by public policy considerations. In addition, we express no opinion as to (i) the extent to which broadly worded waivers may be enforced, (ii) the enforceability of any provision of the Credit Documents which purports to grant the right of setoff to an affiliate of a lender or a purchaser of a participation in the loans outstanding thereunder, which permits the exercise of a right of setoff against amounts not then due or which provides for interest on interest or automatic compounding of interest, or (iii) the extent to which provisions providing for conclusive presumptions or determinations, non-effectiveness of oral modifications, arbitration, waiver of venue, or waiver of offset or defenses will be enforced. In connection with the provisions of the Credit Documents whereby the parties submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the United States of America, we note the limitations of 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1332 on subject matter jurisdiction of the federal courts.

In addition, certain provisions contained in the Credit Documents, including the grant of powers of attorney thereunder, may be unenforceable in whole or in part, but the inclusion of such provisions in the Credit Documents does not affect the validity of any of the other provisions thereof, and the remaining provisions of the Credit Documents are sufficient for the practical realization of the benefits intended to be provided thereby.

We further express no opinion as to the existence of, or as to the title of any Person who has granted a security interest in any Pledged Collateral to, any item of Pledged Collateral or (except to the extent set forth in paragraph 15 above) as to the priority or (except to the extent set forth in paragraphs 13, 14 and 15) the perfection of any security interest in the Pledged Collateral. For purposes of paragraphs 13 and 14 above, we express no opinion with respect to (a) security interests in any commercial tort claims or (b) security interests in goods which are in accession to, or commingled or processed with, other goods to the extent that a security interest is limited by Section 9-336 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in Delaware and Massachusetts (the “Filing States”). For purposes of our opinion in paragraphs 13 and 14 above, we have assumed that the debtors listed in the Delaware Financing Statements and Massachusetts Financing

D-5

Statement are not organized and have not filed any certificates of domestication in any jurisdiction other than the applicable Filing State. We call your attention to the fact that under certain circumstances set forth in Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the respective Filing States, the filings referred to in paragraphs 13 and 14 become ineffective as a result of changes occurring after the date hereof and will terminate after five years after the original filing date unless appropriate continuation statements are duly filed. In addition, Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code limits the extent to which property acquired by a debtor after the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code may be subject to a lien resulting from any security agreement entered into by the debtor before the commencement of the case.

This opinion is being furnished only to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and is solely for their benefit and the benefit of their participants and assignees permitted by the Credit Documents. This opinion may not be relied upon for any other purpose or by any other Person, without our prior written consent.

	Very truly yours,

FORM OF CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT

[LETTERHEAD OF INFORMATION RECIPIENT]

[Name and Address of
Information Provider]

Dear Sirs:

In connection with our interest in entering into a transaction (“Transaction”) to purchase [a participation interest in] [an assignment of] the rights of a Lender pursuant to Section 10.6 of the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of November 27, 2007 (as amended or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) among Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (the “Company”), various financial institutions and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, the Company is furnishing us with certain information which is either non-public, confidential or proprietary in nature. All information furnished (irrespective of the form of communication) to us, our agents or our representatives, including without limitation attorneys, accountants, consultants and financial advisors (collectively, “representatives”), by the Company or any of its representatives, and all analyses, compilations, data, studies or other documents prepared by us or our representatives containing, or based in whole or in part on, any such furnished information or reflecting our review or assessment of the Company are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Information”. In consideration of our being furnished with the Information, we agree that:

1. The Information will be kept confidential, will not, without the prior written consent of the Company or except as required by law (including to bank regulators and examiners) and then only with prior written notice as soon as possible to the Company (provided that such written notice shall not be required in the case of bank regulators and examiners or to the extent prohibited by law or legal process), be disclosed by us or our representatives, in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, and will not be used by us or our representatives directly or indirectly for any purpose other than evaluating a Transaction. Moreover, we agree to transmit the Information only to those representatives who need to know the Information for the purpose of evaluating a Transaction, who are informed by us of the confidential nature of the Information and who are provided with a copy of this Confidentiality Agreement (this “Agreement”) and agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. We will be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by our representatives.

2. Without the Company’s prior written consent, we and our representatives will not disclose to any other person the fact that the Information has been made available, that

F-1

discussions or negotiations are taking place concerning a possible transaction involving us and the Company or any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect to any such possible transaction, including the status thereof, except as required by law (including to bank regulators and examiners) and then only with prior written notice as soon as possible to the Company (provided that such written notice shall not be required in the case of bank regulators and examiners or to the extent prohibited by law or legal process). The term “person” as used in this letter shall be interpreted to include, without limitation, the media and any corporation, company, group, partnership or individual.

3. The Information and all copies thereof will be destroyed or returned immediately, without retaining any copies thereof, (a) if we do not within a reasonable time proceed with a Transaction or (b) at any earlier time that the Company so requests; provided that we may retain copies of Information as required by law (including bank regulations), pursuant to our customary document retention policies or in back-up tapes or similar electronic form. Notwithstanding the return or destruction of the Information, we and our representatives will continue to be bound by our obligations hereunder.

4. This Agreement shall be inoperative as to such portions of the Information which (a) are or become generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by us or our representatives; (b) become available to us on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Company or one of its representatives which has represented to us that it is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the Company or any other party with respect to any portion of the Information; or (c) were known to us on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure to us by the Company or one of its representatives.

5. We understand that the Company has endeavored to include in the Information those materials which are believed to be reliable and relevant for the purpose of our evaluation, but we acknowledge that the Company and its representatives make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the Information. We agree that the Company and its representatives shall have no liability to us or to any of our representatives as a result of the use of the Information by us and our representatives, it being understood that only those particular representations and warranties which may be made by the Company in a definitive agreement, when, as and if it is executed, and subject to such limitations and restrictions as may be specified in such definitive agreement, shall have any legal effect. We further agree that unless and until a definitive agreement regarding a Transaction has been executed, neither we nor the Company will be under any legal obligation of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Transaction by virtue of this Agreement except for the matters specifically agreed to herein. We acknowledge and agree that the Company reserves the right to exercise its consent rights under the Credit Agreement (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

6. In the event that we or anyone to whom we transmit the Information pursuant to this Agreement are requested or become legally compelled (by oral questions, interrogatories, request for information or documents, subpoena, criminal or civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any of the Information, we will (so long as not prohibited by law or legal process) provide the Company with prompt written notice so that the Company may seek (with our cooperation, if so requested by the Company) a protective order or other

F-2

appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or the Company waives compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, we will furnish only that portion of the Information which is legally required and will exercise reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Information.

7. We acknowledge that we are aware, and we will advise our representatives who receive Information, that the U.S. securities laws restrict any person who has material, non-public information concerning the Company from purchasing or selling securities of the Company (and options, warrants and rights relating thereto).

8. We agree that the Company shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, in the event of any breach of the provisions of paragraph 1, 2, 3 or 6 of this Agreement. Such remedies shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Agreement by us or our representatives but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or equity.

9. It is further understood and agreed that no failure or delay by the Company in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder.

10. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed within such State.

	Very truly yours,

TO CREDIT AGREEMENT

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SUBORDINATED INDEBTEDNESS

Subordination Provisions

(a) General. This [ ], including all principal, interest, fees, costs, enforcement expense (including legal fees and disbursements), and any other reimbursement and indemnity obligations created or evidenced by this [ ], or any prior, concurrent or subsequent notes, instruments, or agreements of indebtedness, liabilities or obligations of any type or form whatsoever relating thereto in favor of [the Payee] (“Subordinated Debt”) and any and all documents or instruments evidencing, guaranteeing or securing directly or indirectly any of the foregoing, whether now existing or hereafter created (“Subordinated Documents”), shall be and hereby are subordinated and the payment thereof is deferred until the full and final payment in cash of the Senior Debt, whether now or hereafter incurred or owed by the Maker. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, the Maker shall be permitted to pay, and [the Payee] shall be permitted to receive, any regularly scheduled payment of interest or principal on this [ ], so long as at the time of such payment, such payment is permitted and no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing, in each case under the terms and provisions of any Senior Debt or would occur after giving effect thereto.

(b) Enforcement. [The Payee] will not take or omit to take any action or assert any claim with respect to the Subordinated Debt or otherwise which is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section [ ]. Without limiting the foregoing, [the Payee] will not assert, collect or enforce the Subordinated Debt or any part thereof or take any action to foreclose or realize upon the Subordinated Debt or any part thereof or enforce any of the Subordinated Documents except (i) in each such case as necessary, so long as no default or event of default has occurred and is then continuing under the terms and provisions of any Senior Debt or would occur after giving effect thereto, to collect any sums expressly permitted to be paid by the Maker pursuant to Section [ ] (a) above or (ii) to the extent (but only to such extent) that the commencement of a legal action may be required to toll the running of any applicable statute of limitations. Until the Senior Debt has been finally paid in full in cash, [the Payee] shall not have any right of subrogation, reimbursement, restitution, contribution or indemnity whatsoever from any assets of the Maker or any guarantor of or provider of collateral security for any Senior Debt. [The Payee] further waives any and all rights with respect to marshalling.

(c) Payments Held in Trust. [The Payee] will hold in trust and immediately pay over to the holders of Senior Debt, in the same form of payment received, with appropriate endorsements, for application to the Senior Debt, any cash (or cash equivalent) amount that the Maker pays to [the Payee] with respect to the Subordinated Debt, or as collateral for the Senior Debt any other assets of the Maker that [the Payee] may receive with respect to Subordinated Debt, in each case except with respect to payments expressly permitted pursuant to Section [ ] (a) above.

G-1

(d) Defense to Enforcement. If [the Payee], in contravention of the terms of this [ ], shall commence, prosecute or participate in any suit, action or proceeding against the Maker, then the Maker may interpose as a defense or plea the agreements in this [ ], and any holder of Senior Debt may intervene and interpose such defense or plea in its name or in the name of the Maker. If [the Payee], in contravention of the terms of this [ ], shall attempt to collect any of the Subordinated Debt or enforce any of the Subordinated Documents, then any holder of Senior Debt or the Maker may, by virtue of this Agreement, restrain the enforcement thereof in the name of any holder of Senior Debt or in the name of the Maker. If [the Payee], in contravention of the terms of this Agreement, obtains any cash or other assets of the Maker as a result of any administrative, legal or equitable actions, or otherwise, [the Payee] agrees forthwith to pay, deliver and assign to the holders of Senior Debt, with appropriate endorsements, any such cash (or cash equivalent) for application to the Senior Debt and any such other assets as collateral for the Senior Debt.

(e) Bankruptcy, Etc.

(i) At any meeting of creditors of the Maker or in the event of any case or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, for the distribution, division or application of all or part of the assets of the Maker or the proceeds thereof, whether such case or proceeding be for the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Maker or its business, a receivership, insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding, an assignment for the benefit of creditors or a proceeding by or against the Maker for relief under the federal Bankruptcy Code or any other bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency law or any other law relating to the relief of debtors, readjustment of indebtedness, reorganization, arrangement, composition or extension or marshalling of assets or otherwise, the holders of Senior Debt are hereby irrevocably authorized at any such meeting or in any such proceeding to receive or collect any cash or other assets of the Maker distributed, divided or applied by way of dividend or payment, or any securities issued on account of any Subordinated Debt, and apply such cash to or hold such other assets or securities as collateral for the Senior Debt, and to apply to the Senior Debt any cash proceeds of any realization upon such other assets or securities that the holders of Senior Debt elect to effect, until all of the Senior Debt shall have been paid in full in cash.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section[ ](e)(i) above, [the Payee] shall be entitled to receive and retain any securities of the Maker or any other corporation or other entity provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment provided that: (x) the payment of such securities is subordinate, at least to the extent provided in this [ ] with respect to Subordinated Debt, to the payment of all Senior Debt under any such plan of reorganization or readjustment, (y) the rights of the holders of the Senior Debt are not, without the consent of such holders, altered or impaired by such arrangement, reorganization or readjustment, and (z) all other terms of such arrangement, reorganization or readjustment are acceptable to the holders of Senior Debt.

(iii) [[The Payee] undertakes and agrees for the benefit of each holder of Senior Debt to execute, verify, deliver and file any proof of claim, consent, assignment or other instrument which any holder of Senior Debt may at any time require in order to prove and realize upon any right or claim pertaining to the Subordinated Debt and to effectuate the full benefit of

G-2

the subordination contained herein; and upon failure of [the Payee] so to do prior to 30 days before the expiration any such holder of Senior Debt shall be deemed irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney-in-fact of [the Payee] to execute, verify, deliver and file any such proof of claim, consent, assignment or other instrument.](6)

(iv) At any such meeting of creditors or in the event of any such case or proceeding, [the Payee] shall not vote with respect to any plan of partial or complete liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, composition or extension, or take any other action in any way so as to contest (i) the validity of any Senior Debt or any collateral therefor or guaranties thereof, (ii) the relative rights and duties of any holders of any Senior Debt established in any instruments or agreements creating or evidencing any of the Senior Debt with respect to any of such collateral or guaranties or (iii) [the Payee]’s obligations and agreements set forth in this Agreement.

(f) Freedom of Dealing. [The Payee] agrees that the Maker may, from time to time and at any time, incur additional Senior Debt as it deems necessary, appropriate or desirable in its sole discretion. [The Payee] agrees, with respect to any and all Senior Debt and any and all collateral therefor or guaranties thereof, that the Maker and the holders of Senior Debt may agree to increase the amount of any Senior Debt or otherwise modify the terms of any Senior Debt, and the holders of Senior Debt may grant extensions of the time of payment or performance to and make compromises, including releases of collateral or guaranties, and settlements with the Maker and all other persons, in each case without the consent of [the Payee] and without affecting the agreements of [the Payee] contained in this [ ]; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section [ ](f) shall constitute a waiver of the right of the Maker itself to agree to or consent to a settlement or compromise of a claim which any holder of Senior Debt may have against the Maker.

(g) Sale of Subordinated Debt. [The Payee] will not, at any time while this Agreement is in effect, sell, transfer, pledge, assign, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any Subordinated Debt to any person other than a person who agrees in a writing, satisfactory in form and substance to the Maker and the holders of a majority of the then outstanding principal amount of Senior Debt, to be bound by all of the obligations of [the Payee] hereunder. In the case of any such disposition by [the Payee], [the Payee] will use its best efforts to notify each holder of Senior Debt at least 10 days prior to the date of any of such intended disposition.

(h) Continuation of Subordination. To the extent that the Maker or any guarantor of or provider of collateral for the Senior Debt makes any payment on the Senior Debt that is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or set aside or is required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause (such payment being hereinafter referred to as a “Voided Payment”), then to the extent of such Voided Payment, that portion of the Senior Debt that had been previously satisfied by such Voided Payment shall be revived and continue in full force and effect (and continue to have the benefit of the subordination provisions hereof) as if

(6) This clause (iii) shall only be required for Subordinated Payment Notes issued on or after the Closing Date.

G-3

such Voided Payment had never been made. To the extent that [the Payee] has received any payments with respect to Subordinated Debt subsequent to the date of the initial receipt of such Voided Payment by a holder of Senior Debt and such payments have not been invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other party under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, [the Payee] shall be obligated and hereby agrees that any such payment so made or received shall be deemed to have been received in trust for the benefit of the recipient of the Voided Payment, and [the Payee] hereby agrees to pay to the recipient of the Voided Payment, upon demand, the full amount so received by [the Payee] during such period of time to the extent necessary fully to restore to the recipient of the Voided Payment the amount of such Voided Payment.

(i) Continuing Agreement.

FORM OF
SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY

This SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY dated as of , 200 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Guaranty”) is made by the parties signatory hereto (each a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”) in favor of Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), and the Lenders (as defined below) under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of November 27, 2007 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) among Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (the “Borrower”), various financial institutions (the “Lenders”) and the Administrative Agent.

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have severally agreed to make Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to the Borrower;

WHEREAS, each Guarantor will benefit from the making of the Loans and is willing to guaranty the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined below); and

NOW, THEREFORE, each Guarantor agrees with the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, as follows:

1. Definitions and Interpretation. (a) Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the respective meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.

(a) The following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Guaranteed Obligations” means the collective reference to the unpaid principal of and interest on the Loans and all other obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (including interest accruing at the then applicable rate provided in the Credit Agreement after the maturity of the Loans and interest accruing at the then applicable rate provided in the Credit Agreement after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, relating to the Borrower, whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, or now existing or hereafter incurred, that may arise under, out of or in connection with the Credit Agreement, any Hedge Agreement entered into by the Borrower with any Lender, any other Loan Document or any other document made, delivered or given in connection therewith, in each case whether on account of principal, interest, reimbursement obligations, fees, indemnities, costs, expenses or otherwise (including all fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent or to the Lenders that are required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any letter of credit or any Hedge Agreement).

M-1

(b) The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Guaranty shall refer to this Guaranty as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Guaranty, and Section references are to this Guaranty unless otherwise specified.

(c) The meanings given to terms defined herein shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms.

(d) The term “including” is not limiting and means “including without limitation”.

2. Guarantee. (a) Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the Borrower when due and payable (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be limited to the maximum amount of the Guaranteed Obligations that such Guarantor may guaranty without rendering its obligations under this Guaranty void or voidable with respect to such Guarantor under any fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer law.

(b) To the extent permitted by law, the guaranty hereunder shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional and irrevocable guaranty of payment without regard to (i) the validity or unenforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any collateral security therefor or other guaranty or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender; (ii) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) that may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower or any Guarantor or any other Person against the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Person, (iii) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document or any Hedge Agreement, (iv) any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Guaranty, any other Loan Document or any Hedge Agreement, (v) any release, impairment or invalidity of any other guaranty for the Guaranteed Obligations (or any portion thereof), (vi) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Borrower or the Borrower’s assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Borrower contained in the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Hedge Agreement or (vii) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower or any Guarantor), other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, that constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower for the Guaranteed Obligations, or of any Guarantor under this Guaranty, in bankruptcy or in any other instance.

M-2

(c) Each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments have terminated and all Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash. If at any time any payment of principal, interest or any other amount payable by the Borrower under or in connection with the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Hedge Agreement is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, any other Person or otherwise, each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

(d) Each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the Borrower or any other Person.

(e) Notwithstanding any payment made by or for the account of the Borrower pursuant to this Section, no Guarantor shall be subrogated to any right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or have any right to obtain reimbursement from the Borrower, until such time as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have received final payment in cash of the full amount of the Guaranteed Obligations and the Commitments shall have terminated.

(f) If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Borrower under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Hedge Agreement is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of the Credit Agreement shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent.

3. Notices. All notices, requests and demands hereunder shall be given, and shall be deemed received, in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement. Each Guarantor (a) irrevocably designates the Borrower as its agent to receive any such notice, request or demand and (b) agrees that any notice received, or deemed received, by the Borrower shall conclusively be deemed to have been received by such Guarantor.

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

5. Amendments in Writing; No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. (a) None of the terms or provisions of this Guaranty may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by the Guarantors and the Administrative Agent.

(b) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to clause (a) above), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay

M-3

in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that the Administrative Agent or such Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion.

(c) The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

(d) One or more additional Persons may become parties hereto from time to time, as described in and in accordance with the Credit Agreement, by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a counterpart signature page hereof. Immediately upon such execution and delivery (and without any further action), each such additional Person will become a party to, and will be bound by all of the terms of, this Guaranty.

6. Section Headings. The section headings used in this Guaranty are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

7. Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty shall be binding upon the Guarantors and their-respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns.

8. Governing Law. This Guaranty shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

9. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Guaranty, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect hereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the Courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Guarantor in care of the Borrower at its address provided in Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

M-4

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

10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH GUARANTOR AND (BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS HEREOF) THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FOR ITSELF AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.
