LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT

2.1 Committed Loans—General.

(a)

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at any time and from time to time from the Closing Date through (but excluding) the Maturity Date, each Lender shall, pro rata according to that Lender's Applicable Percentage of the then applicable Aggregate Commitment, make Committed Advances in Dollars to Borrowers in such amounts as any Borrower may request provided that:

(i): giving effect to such Advances, the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments at any time, and
(ii): without the consent of all of the Lenders, the Total Outstandings of each Borrower hereafter designated as such pursuant to Section 2.9 shall not exceed that Borrower's Aggregate Sublimit at any time. Subject to the limitations set forth herein, each of the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow under the Aggregate Commitments without premium or penalty.

(b)

Subject to the next sentence, each Committed Loan shall be made pursuant to a Request for Loan executed by the relevant Borrower which shall specify the requested:

(i): date of such Loan,
(ii): type of Loan,
(iii): amount of such Loan, and
(iv): in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Interest Period for such Loan.

Unless the Administrative Agent has notified, in its sole and absolute discretion, Borrowers to the contrary, a Loan may be requested by telephone by a Responsible Official of any Borrower, in which case that Borrower shall confirm such request by promptly delivering a Request for Loan in person or by telecopier conforming to the preceding sentence to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall incur no liability whatsoever hereunder in acting upon any telephonic request for loan purportedly made by a Responsible Official of a Borrower, and each Borrower hereby jointly and severally (but as between Borrowers, ratably) agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from any loss, cost, expense or liability as a result of so acting.

(c): Promptly following receipt of a Request for Loan, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of any Loan requested by telephone or telecopier (and if by telephone, promptly confirmed by telecopier) of the identity of the relevant Borrower, the date and type of the Loan, the applicable Interest Period, and that Lender's Applicable Percentage of the requested Loan. Not later than 12:00 noon, California local time, on the date specified for any Loan (which must be a Business Day), each Lender shall make its Applicable Percentage of the Committed Loan in immediately available funds available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent's Office. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the applicable conditions set forth in Article 8, all Committed Advances shall be credited on that date in immediately available funds to the Designated Deposit Account.
(d): Unless the Requisite Lenders otherwise consent, each Committed Loan shall be an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and shall be not less than $10,000,000.
(e): The Committed Advances made by each Lender to each Borrower shall be evidenced by a Committed Advance Note issued by that Borrower and made payable to that Lender.

(f): A Request for Loan shall be irrevocable upon the Administrative Agent's first notification thereof.
(g): If no Request for Loan (or telephonic request for loan referred to in the second sentence of Section 2.1(b), if applicable) has been made within the requisite notice periods set forth in Sections 2.2 or 2.3 in connection with a Loan which, if made and giving effect to the application of the proceeds thereof, would not increase the outstanding principal Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes of the relevant Borrower, then that Borrower shall be deemed to have requested, as of the date upon which the related then outstanding Loan is due pursuant to Section 3.1(e)(i), a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to the amount necessary to cause the outstanding principal Indebtedness evidenced by such Notes to remain the same and the Lenders shall make the Advances necessary to make such Loan notwithstanding Sections 2.1(b), 2.2 and 2.3.

2.2 Base Rate Loans. Each request by a Borrower for a Base Rate Loan shall be made pursuant to a Request for Loan (or telephonic or other request for loan referred to in the second sentence of Section 2.1(b), if applicable) received by the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent's Office, not later than 9:00 a.m. California local time, on the date (which must be a Business Day) of the requested Base Rate Loan. All Committed Loans shall constitute Base Rate Loans unless properly designated as a Eurodollar Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.3.

2.3 Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(a): Each request by a Borrower for a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be made pursuant to a Request for Loan (or telephonic or other request for loan referred to in the second sentence of Section 2.1(b), if applicable) received by the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent's Office, not later than 9:00 a.m., California local time, at least three Eurodollar Business Days before the first day of the applicable Interest Period.
(b): On the date which is two Eurodollar Business Days before the first day of the applicable Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall confirm its determination of the applicable Eurodollar Rate (which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error) and promptly shall give notice of the same to Borrowers and the applicable Lenders by telephone or telecopier (and if by telephone, promptly confirmed by telecopier).
(c): Unless the Administrative Agent and the Requisite Lenders otherwise consent, no more than twenty Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be outstanding at any one time.
(d): No Eurodollar Rate Loan may be requested during the existence of a Default or Event of Default.
(e): No Lender shall be required to obtain the funds necessary to fund its Eurodollar Rate Advances in the Designated Eurodollar Market or from any other particular source of funds, rather each Lender shall be free to obtain such funds from any legal source.

2.4 Letters of Credit.

(a): On the Closing Date, each of the Existing Letters of Credit shall continue to be outstanding hereunder, but the risk participations therein shall be adjusted to give effect to the relative interests of the Lenders in the Aggregate Commitments of each Lender hereunder (as in effect on the Closing Date), and each issuer of a Existing Letter of Credit hereby consents to the termination, concurrently with the Closing Date, of the participation therein of each of the lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement which is not a party to this Agreement.
(b): Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at any time and from time to time from the Closing Date through the day prior to the Maturity Date, any one or more of the Borrowers may request that any one or more of the Lenders issue, as Issuing Lender, additional Letters

of Credit under the Aggregate Commitments (each of which shall be denominated in Dollars) by submission of a Request for Letter of Credit to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent); provided that giving effect to all such Letters of Credit, (i) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments at any time, (ii) without the consent of all of the Lenders, the aggregate principal amount of the Total Outstandings of each Borrower hereafter designated as such pursuant to Section 2.9 shall not exceed that Borrower's Aggregate Sublimit at any time, and (iii) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Each Letter of Credit shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the relevant Issuing Lender. Unless all the Lenders otherwise consent in a writing delivered to the Administrative Agent, no Letter of Credit shall have a term which extends beyond the day which is five days prior to the Maturity Date.

(c): Each Request for Letter of Credit shall be submitted to the relevant Issuing Lender, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, not later than 8:00 a.m. at least five Business Days prior to the date upon which the related Letter of Credit is proposed to be issued (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the relevant Issuing Lender, but in any event providing not less than one Business Day's notice to the Administrative Agent). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the relevant Issuing Lender whether such Request for Letter of Credit, and the issuance of a Letter of Credit pursuant thereto, conforms to the requirements of this Agreement. Upon issuance, amendment to or extension of a Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders, of the amount and terms thereof.
(d): On the Closing Date, each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased a pro rata participation in each Existing Letter of Credit from the relevant Issuing Lender in an amount equal to that Lender's Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Existing Letter of Credit. Upon the issuance of each other Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased a pro rata participation in such Letter of Credit from the relevant Issuing Lender in an amount equal to that Lender's Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit. Without limiting the scope and nature of each Lender's participation in any Letter of Credit, to the extent that the relevant Issuing Lender has not been reimbursed by the Borrower which is the account party for any Letter of Credit for any payment required to be made by the relevant Issuing Lender thereunder, each Lender shall, pro rata according to its Applicable Percentage, reimburse the relevant Issuing Lender promptly upon demand for the amount of such payment. The obligation of each Lender to so reimburse the relevant Issuing Lender shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by the occurrence of an Event of Default or any other occurrence or event. Any such reimbursement shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrowers to reimburse the relevant Issuing Lender for the amount of any payment made by the relevant Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit together with interest as hereinafter provided.
(e): Promptly and in any event within one Business Day following any drawing upon a Letter of Credit, the amendment or extension thereof, the Issuing Bank for that Letter of Credit shall provide notice thereof to the Administrative Agent. Each Borrower agrees to pay to the relevant Issuing Lender an amount equal to any payment made by the relevant Issuing Lender with respect to each Letter of Credit within one Business Day after demand made by the relevant Issuing Lender therefor (which demand the relevant Issuing Lender shall make promptly and in any event shall make upon the request of the Requisite Lenders), together with interest on such amount from the date of any payment made by the relevant Issuing Lender at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans for three Business Days and thereafter at the Default Rate. The principal amount of any such payment shall be used to reimburse the relevant Issuing Lender for the payment made by it under the Letter of Credit and, to the

extent that the Lenders have not reimbursed the relevant Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.4(d), the interest amount of any such payment shall be for the account of the relevant Issuing Lender. Each Lender that has reimbursed the relevant Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.4(d) for its Applicable Percentage of any payment made by the relevant Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit shall thereupon acquire a pro rata participation, to the extent of such reimbursement, in the claim of the relevant Issuing Lender against Borrowers for reimbursement of principal and interest under this Section 2.4(e) and shall share, in accordance with that pro rata participation, in any principal payment made by Borrowers with respect to such claim and in any interest payment made by Borrowers (but only with respect to periods subsequent to the date such Lender reimbursed the relevant Issuing Lender) with respect to such claim. The relevant Issuing Lender shall promptly make available to the Administrative Agent, which will thereupon remit to the appropriate Lenders, in immediately available funds, any amounts due to the Lenders under this Section.

(f)

Each Borrower may, pursuant to a Request for Loan, request that Advances be made pursuant to Section 2.1(b) to provide funds for the payment required by Section 2.4(e) and, for this purpose, the conditions precedent set forth in Article 8 shall not apply. The proceeds of such Advances shall be paid directly by the Administrative Agent to the relevant Issuing Lender to reimburse it for the payment made by it under the Letter of Credit.

(g)

If Borrowers fail to make the payment required by Section 2.4(e) within the time period therein set forth, in lieu of the reimbursement to the relevant Issuing Lender under Section 2.4(d) the relevant Issuing Lender may (but is not required to), without notice to or the consent of Borrowers, require that the Administrative Agent request that the Lenders make Advances under the Aggregate Commitments in an aggregate amount equal to the amount paid by that Issuing Lender with respect to that Letter of Credit (the "Unreimbursed Amount") and, for this purpose, the conditions precedent set forth in Article 8 shall not apply. The proceeds of such Advances shall be paid by the Administrative Agent directly to the relevant Issuing Lender to reimburse it for the payment made by it under the Letter of Credit.

(h)

The issuance of any supplement, modification, amendment, renewal, or extension to or of any Letter of Credit shall be treated in all respects the same as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit.

(i)

The obligation of Borrowers to pay to each Issuing Lender the amount of any payment made by that Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrowers' obligations shall not be affected by any of the following circumstances:

(i): any lack of validity or enforceability of the Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(ii): any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from the Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(iii): the existence of any claim, setoff, defense, or other rights which any Borrower may have at any time against any Issuing Lender or any other Creditor, any beneficiary of the Letter of Credit (or any persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary may be acting) or any other Person, whether in connection with the Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transactions;
(iv): any demand, statement, or any other document presented under the Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid, or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever;

(v): payment by the relevant Issuing Lender under the Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or any accompanying document which does not strictly comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit;
(vi): the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any Property purported to be represented by documents presented in connection with any Letter of Credit or any difference between any such Property and the character, quality, quantity, condition, or value of such Property as described in such documents;
(vii): the time, place, manner, order or contents of shipments or deliveries of Property as described in documents presented in connection with any Letter of Credit or the existence, nature and extent of any insurance relative thereto;
(viii): the solvency or financial responsibility of any party issuing any documents in connection with a Letter of Credit;
(ix): any failure or delay in notice of shipments or arrival of any Property;
(x): any error in the transmission of any message relating to a Letter of Credit not caused by the relevant Issuing Lender, or any delay or interruption in any such message;
(xi): any consequence arising from acts of God, war, insurrection, civil unrest, disturbances, labor disputes, emergency conditions or other causes beyond the control of the relevant Issuing Lender;
(xii): so long as the relevant Issuing Lender in good faith determines that the contract or document appears to comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit, the form, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any contract or document referred to in any document submitted to the relevant Issuing Lender in connection with a Letter of Credit; and
(xiii): where the relevant Issuing Lender has acted in good faith and observed general banking usage, any other circumstances whatsoever.

(j): Each Issuing Lender shall be entitled to the protection accorded to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article 10, mutatis mutandis.
(k): Unless otherwise expressly agreed by an Issuing Lender and a Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), such Letter of Credit shall provide that (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to it if it is a standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce (the "ICC") at the time of issuance (including the ICC decision published by the Commission on Banking Technique and Practice on April 6, 1998 regarding the European single currency (euro)) shall apply to it if it is a commercial Letter of Credit.

2.5 Swing Line.

(a)

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.5, to make Swing Line Advances in Dollars to any Borrower from time to time from the Closing Date through the Business Day prior to the Maturity Date in such amounts as that Borrower may request, provided that:

(i): after giving effect to such Swing Line Advance, the Swing Line Outstandings shall not exceed $50,000,000,
(ii): after giving effect to such Swing Line Advance, the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments at any time,

(iii): without the consent of all of the Lenders, no Swing Line Advance may be made during the continuation of any Default or Event of Default,
(iv): without the consent of all of the Lenders, the Total Outstandings of each Borrower designated as such in accordance with Section 2.9 shall not exceed the Aggregate Sublimit for that Borrower at any time, and
(v): the Swing Line Lender has not given at least twenty-four hours prior notice to the Parent that availability under the Swing Line is suspended or terminated.

Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow under this Section 2.5. Unless notified to the contrary by the Swing Line Lender, borrowings under the Swing Line may be made in amounts which are integral multiples of $100,000 upon telephonic request by a Responsible Official of any Borrower made to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., California local time, on the Business Day of the requested Swing Line Advance (which telephonic request shall be promptly confirmed in writing by telecopier). Promptly after receipt of such a request for a Swing Line Advance, the Administrative Agent shall provide telephonic verification to the Swing Line Lender that, after giving effect to such request, the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments (and such verification shall be promptly confirmed in writing by telecopier). Unless the Swing Line Lender otherwise agrees, each repayment of a Swing Line Advance shall be in an amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000. If a Borrower instructs the Swing Line Lender to debit its demand deposit account at the Swing Line Lender in the amount of any payment with respect to a Swing Line Advance, or the Swing Line Lender otherwise receives repayment, after 3:00 p.m., California local time, on a Business Day, such payment shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. The Swing Line Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the Swing Line Outstandings each time there is a change therein.

(b)

Swing Line Advances shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to that applicable from time to time for Base Rate Loans. Interest shall be payable on such dates, not more frequent than monthly, as may be specified by the Swing Line Lender and in any event on the Maturity Date. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for submitting invoices to the Borrowers for such interest. The interest payable on Swing Line Advances shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender unless and until the Lenders fund their participations therein pursuant to Section 2.5(d).

(c)

The Swing Line Advances shall be payable on demand made by the Swing Line Lender and in any event on the Maturity Date.

(d)

Upon the making of a Swing Line Advance, each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from the Swing Line Lender a participation therein in an amount equal to that Lender's Applicable Percentage times the amount of the Swing Line Advance. Upon demand made by the Swing Line Lender, each Lender shall, according to its Applicable Percentage, promptly provide to the Swing Line Lender its purchase price therefor in an amount equal to its participation therein. The obligation of each Lender to so provide its purchase price to the Swing Line Lender shall be absolute and unconditional (except only demand made by the Swing Line Lender) and shall not be affected by the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default; provided that no Lender shall be obligated to purchase its Applicable Percentage of

(i): Swing Line Advances to the extent that Swing Line Outstandings are in excess of $50,000,000 and
(ii): any Swing Line Advance made (absent the consent of all of the Lenders) when the Swing Line Lender has written notice that a Default or Event of Default has occurred and such Default or Event of Default remains continuing.

Each Lender that has provided to the Swing Line Lender the purchase price due for its participation in Swing Line Advances shall thereupon acquire a pro rata participation, to the extent of such payment, in the claim of the Swing Line Lender against Borrowers for principal and interest and shall share, in accordance with that pro rata participation, in any principal payment made by Borrowers with respect to such claim and in any interest payment made by Borrowers (but only with respect to periods subsequent to the date such Lender paid the Swing Line Lender its purchase price) with respect to such claim.

(e): In the event that the Swing Line Outstandings are in excess of $10,000,000 on 10 consecutive Business Days then, on the next Business Day (unless the relevant Borrower has made other arrangements acceptable to the Swing Line Lender to reduce the Swing Line Outstandings below $10,000,000) that Borrower shall request a Loan in an amount sufficient to reduce the Swing Line Outstandings below $10,000,000. In addition, upon any demand for payment of the Swing Line Outstandings by the Swing Line Lender (unless Borrowers have made other arrangements acceptable to the Swing Line Lender to reduce the Swing Line Outstandings to $0), the relevant Borrower shall request a Loan in an amount sufficient to repay all Swing Line Outstandings (and, for this purpose, Section 2.1(d) shall not apply). In each case, the Administrative Agent shall automatically provide the responsive Advances made by each Lender to the Swing Line Lender (which the Swing Line Lender shall then apply to the Swing Line Outstandings). In the event that any Borrower fails to request a Loan within the time specified by Section 2.2 on any such date, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, without notice to or the consent of Borrowers, cause Advances to be made by the Lenders to that Borrower in amounts which are sufficient to reduce the Swing Line Outstandings as required above. The conditions precedent set forth in Article 8 shall not apply to Advances to be made by the Lenders pursuant to the three preceding sentences. The proceeds of such Advances shall be paid by the Administrative Agent directly to the Swing Line Lender for application to the Swing Line Outstandings.

2.6 Voluntary Increase to the Aggregate Commitments.

(a)

Provided that no Default or Event of Default then exists, Parent and the Borrowers may, upon at least 30 days notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to the Lenders), propose to ratably increase the aggregate amount of the Aggregate Commitments by an aggregate amount not to exceed $500,000,000 (the amount of any such ratable increase of the Aggregate Commitments being referred to as the "Increased Commitment"). Each Lender party to this Agreement at such time shall have the right (but no obligation), for a period of 15 days following receipt of such notice, to elect by notice to Parent and the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to increase its Commitment by a principal amount which bears the same ratio to the Increased Commitment as its then Commitment bears to the Aggregate Commitments then existing. Each Lender which fails to respond to any such request shall be conclusively deemed to have refused to consent to an increase in its Commitment.

(b)

If any Lender party to this Agreement shall not elect to increase its Commitment pursuant to Section 2.6(a), Parent and the Borrowers may designate another Person which qualifies as an Eligible Assignee (which may be, but need not be, one or more of the existing Lenders) which at the time agrees to

(i): in the case of any such Person that is an existing Lender, increase its Commitment and
(ii): in the case of any other such Person (an "Additional Lender"), become a party to this Agreement.

The sum of the increases in the Aggregate Commitments of the existing Lenders pursuant to this clause (b) plus the Commitments of the Additional Lenders shall not in the aggregate exceed the unsubscribed amount of the Increased Commitment.

(c): An increase in the aggregate amount of the Aggregate Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall become effective upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent signed by the Parent and the Borrowers, by each Additional Lender and by each other Lender whose Commitment is to be increased, setting forth the new Commitments of such Lenders and setting forth the agreement of each Additional Lender to become a party to this Agreement and to be bound by all the terms and provisions hereof, together with such evidence of appropriate corporate authorization on the part of Parent and the Borrowers and the Additional Lenders with respect to the Increased Commitment as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

2.7 Voluntary Reduction of the Aggregate Commitments. Borrowers shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, without penalty or charge, upon at least three Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, voluntarily to reduce or to terminate, permanently and irrevocably, in aggregate principal amounts in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 but not less than $10,000,000, all or a portion of the then undisbursed portion of the Aggregate Commitments, provided that any such reduction or termination shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued and unpaid commitment fees with respect to the portion of the Aggregate Commitments being reduced or terminated. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments under this Section 2.7.

2.8 Optional Termination of Aggregate Commitments. Following the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Requisite Lenders may in their sole and absolute discretion elect, during the sixty day period immediately subsequent to the later of

(a)

such occurrence and

(b)

the earlier of

(i): receipt of Borrowers' written notice to the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and
(ii): if no such notice has been received by the Administrative Agent, the date upon which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have actual knowledge thereof, to terminate the Aggregate Commitments.

In any such case the Aggregate Commitments shall be terminated effective on the date which is sixty days subsequent to the date of written notice from the Administrative Agent to Borrowers thereof, and

(i): to the extent that there are then any Obligations outstanding, the same shall be immediately due and payable, and
(ii): to the extent that any Letters of Credit are then outstanding, Borrowers shall provide cash collateral for the same.

2.9 Additional Borrowers. From time to time following the Closing Date and when no Default or Event of Default exists, Parent and Company (and each other Borrower then a party to this Agreement) may jointly designate one or more additional Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries as additional co-borrowers under the Aggregate Commitments in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.9.

Prior to the effectiveness of any such designation each such additional Borrower shall have duly authorized, executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent each of the following:

(a): an Election to Become a Borrower, setting forth the proposed Aggregate Sublimit for that Borrower, together with such other documents, certificates, resolutions, opinions and other assurances as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require in connection therewith; and
(b): Committed Advance Notes and Swing Line Documents.

Promptly following the submission of the foregoing documents, the Administrative Agent shall inform the Lenders of the proposed designation and the proposed Aggregate Sublimit. Unless the Requisite Lenders have objected in writing to the proposed designee or Aggregate Sublimit within 10 Business Days following such notice from the Administrative Agent (which objection may be in the sole discretion of each Lender), the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers that the appointment is accepted, whereupon the proposed new Borrower shall be a Borrower for all purposes of this Agreement, with the Aggregate Sublimit set forth in its Election to Become a Borrower.

2.10 Payment Presumptions by Administrative Agent.

(a)

Funding by Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Committed Loan that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's share of such Committed Loan, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.1 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Committed Loan available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at

(i): in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and
(ii): in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans.

If the Borrowers and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Committed Loan to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's Committed Loan included in such Committed Loan. Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(b): Payments by Borrower. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent

forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(c): A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or any Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.10 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

2.11 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Committed Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Advances held by it resulting in such Lender's receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Committed Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall

(a): notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and
(b): purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Committed Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Advances of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Committed Loans and other amounts owing them,

provided that:

(i)

if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii)

the provisions of this Section 2.11 shall not be construed to apply to

(x): any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or
(y): any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Committed Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Advances to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.11 shall apply).

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

ARTICLE 3
PAYMENTS AND FEES

3.1 Principal and Interest.

(a)

Interest shall be payable on the outstanding daily unpaid principal amount of each Advance from the date thereof until payment in full is made and shall accrue and be payable at the rates set forth or provided for herein before and after default, before and after maturity, before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, with interest on overdue interest to bear interest at the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(b)

Interest accrued on each Base Rate Loan on each Quarterly Payment Date, and on the date of any prepayment of the Committed Advance Notes pursuant to Section 3.1(f), shall be due and payable on that day.

Each change in the interest rate under this Section 3.1(b) due to a change in the Base Rate shall take effect simultaneously with the corresponding change in the Base Rate.

(c)

Interest accrued on each Eurodollar Rate Loan having a Interest Period of three months or less shall be due and payable on the last day of the related Interest Period. Interest accrued on each other Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be due and payable on the date which is three months after the date such Eurodollar Rate Loan was made (and, in the event that all of the Lenders have approved a Interest Period of longer than 6 months, every three months thereafter through the last day of the Interest Period) and on the last day of the related Interest Period. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 3.1(d) and 3.9, the unpaid principal amount of any Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for that Eurodollar Rate Loan plus the Eurodollar Margin.

(d)

During the existence of a Default or Event of Default, the Requisite Lenders may determine that any or all then outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be converted to Base Rate Loans. Such conversion shall be effective upon notice to Borrowers from the Requisite Lenders (or from the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Requisite Lenders) and shall continue so long as such Default or Event of Default continues to exist.

(e)

If not sooner paid, the principal Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes shall be payable as follows:

(i): the principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be payable on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan;
(ii): the amount, if any, by which the Total Outstandings at any time exceed the Aggregate Commitments shall be payable immediately, and shall be applied to the ratable payment of the Committed Advance Notes; and
(iii): the principal Indebtedness evidenced by the Committed Advance Notes shall in any event be payable on the Maturity Date.

(f)

The Committed Advance Notes may, at any time and from time to time, voluntarily be paid or prepaid in whole or in part without premium or penalty, except that with respect to any voluntary prepayment under this Section 3.1(f),

(i): any partial prepayment shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 but not less than $10,000,000,

(ii): the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice of any prepayment by 9:00 a.m., California local time on a Business Day on the date of prepayment in the case of a Base Rate Loan, and three Business Days, in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Loan, before the date of prepayment, which notice shall identify the date and amount of the prepayment and the Loan(s) being prepaid,
(iii): each prepayment of principal shall be accompanied by payment of interest accrued to the date of payment on the amount of principal paid and
(iv): any payment or prepayment of all or any part of any Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period shall be subject to Section 3.8(d).

(g): If for any reason the Total Outstandings at any time exceed the Aggregate Commitments then in effect, the Borrower shall immediately prepay Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 3.1(g) unless after the prepayment in full of the Loans the Total Outstandings exceed the Aggregate Commitments then in effect.

3.2 Arrangement Fee. On the Closing Date, Parent and the Company shall pay to each Lead Arranger an arrangement fee in the amount heretofore agreed upon by letter agreement among Parent, the Company and each such Lead Arranger. Such arrangement fees are for the services of the Lead Arrangers in arranging the credit facilities under this Agreement and are fully earned when paid. These arrangement fees are earned as of the date hereof and are nonrefundable.

3.3 Upfront Fees; Amendment Fees.

(a): On the Closing Date, Parent and the Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the respective accounts of the Lenders, upfront fees in the respective amounts set forth in a writing addressed to each Lender by the Lead Arrangers. Such fees are for the credit facility committed by each Lender under this Agreement and are fully earned when paid. The upfront fees paid to each Lender are solely for its own account and are nonrefundable.
(b): On the Closing Date, Parent and the Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the respective accounts of the Lenders who were also "Lenders" under the Existing Credit Agreement, amendment fees in the respective amounts set forth in a writing addressed to each such Lender by the Lead Arrangers. Such fees are for the credit facility committed by each Lender under this Agreement and are fully earned when paid. The upfront fees paid to each Lender are solely for its own account and are nonrefundable.

3.4 Facility Fees. On the last day of each Pricing Period, Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the respective accounts of the Lenders, pro rata according to their Applicable Percentage, a facility fee equal to

(a): the Facility Fee Rate per annum for that Pricing Period times
(b): the actual daily amount by of the Aggregate Commitments (whether drawn or undrawn) during that Pricing Period.

3.5 Letter of Credit Fees. Concurrently with the issuance of each Letter of Credit, Borrowers shall pay a letter of credit issuance fee to the relevant Issuing Lender, for the sole account of that Issuing Lender, in an amount set forth in a letter agreement between the Parent and each Issuing Lender. Each letter of credit issuance fee is nonrefundable. On each Quarterly Payment Date and on the Maturity Date, Borrowers shall also pay to the Administrative Agent in arrears, for the ratable account of the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentage, letter of credit fees in an amount equal to the Letter of Credit Fee per annum times the actual daily L/C Obligations of all Letters of Credit for the period from the Closing Date or the most recent Quarterly Payment Date.

3.6 Agency Fees. Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent an agency fee in such amounts and at such times as heretofore agreed upon by letter agreement among Parent, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent. The agency fee is for the services to be performed by the Administrative Agent in acting as Administrative Agent and is fully earned on the date paid. The agency fee paid to the Administrative Agent is solely for its own account and is nonrefundable.

3.7 Increased Commitment Costs. If any Lender shall determine that the introduction after the Closing Date of any applicable law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any central bank or other Governmental Agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Lender (or its Eurodollar Lending Office) or any corporation controlling the Lender, with any request, guidelines or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such central bank or other authority, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and (taking into consideration such Lender's or such corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender's desired return on capital) determines that the amount of such capital is increased, or the rate of return on capital is reduced, as a consequence of its obligations under this Agreement, then such Lender shall promptly give notice to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of such determination. Thereafter, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender, within five Business Days following written demand therefor (setting forth the additional amounts owed to such Lender and the basis of the calculation thereof in reasonable detail), additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender in light of such circumstances, to the extent reasonably allocable to such obligations under this Agreement. Each Lender shall afford treatment to Borrowers under this Section 3.7 which is substantially similar to that which such Lender affords to its other similarly situated customers.

3.8 Eurodollar Costs and Related Matters.

(a)

If, after the date hereof, the existence or occurrence of any Special Eurodollar Circumstance shall:

(i): subject any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to any tax, duty or other charge or cost with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advance, any of its Notes evidencing Eurodollar Rate Loans or its obligation to make Eurodollar Rate Advances, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender of the principal of or interest on any Eurodollar Rate Advance or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect of any Eurodollar Rate Advance, any of its Notes evidencing Eurodollar Rate Loans or its obligation to make Eurodollar Rate Advances, excluding, with respect to each Creditor, and any Affiliate or Eurodollar Lending Office thereof, (A) taxes imposed on or measured in whole or in part by its net income or capital and franchise taxes imposed on it, (B) any withholding taxes or other taxes based on net income (other than withholding taxes and taxes based on net income resulting from or attributable to any change in any law, rule or regulation or any change in the interpretation or administration of any law, rule or regulation by any Governmental Agency) or (C) any withholding taxes or other taxes based on net income for any period with respect to which it has failed to provide Borrowers with the appropriate form or forms required by Section 11.21, to the extent such forms are then required by applicable Laws;
(ii): impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve not applicable or deemed applicable on the date hereof (including, without limitation, any reserve imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding the Eurodollar Reserve Percentage taken into account in calculating the Eurodollar Rate), special deposit, capital or similar requirements against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office; or

(iii): impose on any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office or the Designated Eurodollar Market any other condition materially affecting any Eurodollar Rate Advance, any of its Notes evidencing Eurodollar Rate Loans, its obligation to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or this Agreement, or shall otherwise materially affect any of the same;

and the result of any of the foregoing, as determined by such Lender, increases the cost to such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Advance or in respect of any Eurodollar Rate Advance, any of its Notes evidencing Eurodollar Rate Loans or its obligation to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or reduces the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advance, any of its Notes evidencing Eurodollar Rate Loans or its obligation to make Eurodollar Rate Advances (assuming such Lender's Eurodollar Lending Office had funded 100% of its Eurodollar Rate Advance in the Designated Eurodollar Market), then, provided that such Lender makes demand upon Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) within 90 days following the date upon which it becomes aware of any such event or circumstance, Borrowers shall within five Business Days pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction (determined as though such Lender's Eurodollar Lending Office had funded 100% of its Eurodollar Rate Advance in the Designated Eurodollar Market). Each of the Borrowers hereby jointly and severally (but as between Borrowers, ratably) indemnifies each Lender against, and agrees to hold each Lender harmless from and reimburse such Lender within five Business Days after demand for (without duplication) all costs, expenses, claims, penalties, liabilities, losses, legal fees and damages incurred or sustained by each Lender in connection with this Agreement, or any of the rights, obligations or transactions provided for or contemplated herein, as a result of the existence or occurrence of any Special Eurodollar Circumstance. A statement of any Lender claiming compensation under this clause and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Each Lender agrees to endeavor promptly to notify Borrowers of any event of which it has actual knowledge, occurring after the Closing Date, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.8 and agrees to designate a different Eurodollar Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for or reduce the amount of such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. If any Lender claims compensation under this Section 3.8, Borrowers may at any time, upon at least four Eurodollar Business Days' prior notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender and upon payment in full of the amounts provided for in this Section 3.8 through the date of such payment plus any prepayment fee required by Section 3.8(d), pay in full the affected Eurodollar Rate Advances of such Lender or request that such Eurodollar Rate Advances be converted to Base Rate Advances. To the extent that any Lender which receives any payment from Borrowers under this Section 3.8 later receives any funds which are identifiable as a reimbursement or rebate of such amount from any other Person, such Lender shall promptly refund such amount to Borrowers.

(b): If the existence or occurrence of any Special Eurodollar Circumstance shall, in the opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful, impossible or impracticable for such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to make, maintain or fund its portion of any Eurodollar Rate Loan, or materially restrict the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the Designated Eurodollar Market, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, and such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, then such Lender's obligation to make Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended for the duration of such illegality, impossibility or impracticability and the Administrative Agent forthwith shall give notice thereof to the other Lenders and Borrowers. Upon receipt of such notice, the outstanding principal amount of such Lender's Eurodollar Rate Advances, together with accrued interest thereon, automatically shall be converted to Base Rate Advances on

either (i) the last day of the Interest Period(s) applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Advances if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Eurodollar Rate Advances to such day(s) or (ii) immediately if such Lender may not lawfully continue to fund and maintain such Eurodollar Rate Advances to such day(s), provided that in such event the conversion shall not be subject to payment of a prepayment fee under Section 3.8(d). Each Lender agrees to endeavor promptly to notify Borrowers of any event of which it has actual knowledge, occurring after the Closing Date, which will cause that Lender to notify the Administrative Agent under this Section 3.8(b), and agrees to designate a different Eurodollar Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. In the event that any Lender is unable, for the reasons set forth above, to make, maintain or fund its portion of any Eurodollar Rate Loan, such Lender shall fund such amount as a Base Rate Advance for the same period of time, and such amount shall be treated in all respects as a Base Rate Advance. Any Lender whose obligation to make Eurodollar Rate Advances has been suspended under this Section 3.8(b) shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and Borrowers of the cessation of the Special Eurodollar Circumstance which gave rise to such suspension.

(c)

If, with respect to any proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan:

(i)

the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that, by reason of circumstances affecting the Designated Eurodollar Market generally that are beyond the reasonable control of the Lenders, deposits in Dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to any Lender in the Designated Eurodollar Market for the applicable Interest Period; or

(ii)

the Requisite Lenders advise the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent

(A): does not represent the effective pricing to such Lenders for deposits in Dollars in the Designated Eurodollar Market in the relevant amount for the applicable Interest Period, or
(B): will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making the applicable Eurodollar Rate Advances;

then the Administrative Agent forthwith shall give notice thereof to Borrowers and the Lenders, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make any future Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended. If at the time of such notice there is then pending a Request for Loan that specifies a Eurodollar Rate Loan, such Request for Loan shall be deemed to specify a Base Rate Loan.

(d)

Upon payment or prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Advance, (other than as the result of a conversion required under Section 3.1(d) or 3.8(b)), on a day other than the last day in the applicable Interest Period (whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise), or upon the failure of any Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of a Lender to make an Advance) to borrow on the date or in the amount specified for a Eurodollar Rate Loan in any Request for Loan, Borrowers shall pay to the appropriate Lender within five Business Days after demand a prepayment fee or failure to borrow fee, as the case may be, (determined as though 100% of the Eurodollar Rate Advance had been funded in the Designated Eurodollar Market) equal to the sum of:

(i): principal amount of the Eurodollar Rate Advance prepaid or not borrowed, as the case may be, times the quotient of

(A): the number of days between the date of prepayment or failure to borrow, as applicable, and the last day in the applicable Interest Period, divided by
(B): 360, times the applicable Interest Differential (provided that the product of the foregoing formula must be a positive number); plus
(C): all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender reasonably attributable to such payment, prepayment or failure to borrow.

Each Lender's determination of the amount of any prepayment fee payable under this Section 3.8(d) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

3.9 Default Rate. If any installment of principal or interest or any fee or cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document to any Creditor is not paid when due, then such overdue Obligations shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin plus 2%, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. In addition, if any Event of Default has occurred and remains continuing, then at the option of the Requisite Lenders, all of the Obligations shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin plus 2%, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including, without limitation, interest on past due interest) shall be compounded monthly, on the last day of each calendar month, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

3.10 Computation of Interest and Fees. Computation of interest on Base Rate Loans calculated with reference to the prime rate shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed; computation of interest on Base Rate Loans calculated by reference to the Federal Funds Rate, and on Eurodollar Rate Loans and all fees under this Agreement shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed. Each Borrower acknowledges that such latter calculation method will result in a higher yield to the Lenders than a method based on a year of 365 or 366 days. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made; interest shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid. Any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day.

3.11 Non-Business Days. Subject to clause (b) of the definition of "Interest Period," if any payment to be made by Borrowers or any other Party under any Loan Document shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall instead be considered due on the next succeeding Business Day and the extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest and fees.

3.12 Manner and Treatment of Payments.

(a): Each payment hereunder (except payments with respect to Swing Line Obligations and payments pursuant to Sections 3.7, 3.8, and 11.3) or on the Notes or under any other Loan Document shall be made without setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or other deduction of any kind to the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent's Office, for the account of each of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m., California local time, on the day of payment (which must be a Business Day), other than payments with respect to Swing Line Advances, which must be received by 3:00 p.m., California local time, on the day of payment (which must be a Business Day). All payments received after these deadlines shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day. The amount of all payments received by the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender shall be immediately paid by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Lender in immediately available funds and, if such payment was received by the Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m., California local time, on a Business Day and not so made available to the account of a Lender on that Business Day, the Administrative Agent shall

reimburse that Lender for the cost to such Lender of funding the amount of such payment at the Federal Funds Rate. All payments shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America.

(b): Each payment or prepayment on account of any Committed Loan shall be applied pro rata according to the outstanding Committed Advances made by each Lender comprising such Committed Loan.
(c): Each Lender shall use its best efforts to keep a record of Advances made by it and payments received by it with respect to each of its Notes and such record shall, as against Borrowers, be presumptive evidence absent manifest error of the amounts owing. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, no Lender shall be liable to any Party for any failure to keep such a record.
(d): Each payment of any amount payable by Borrowers or any other Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction by reason of, any taxes, assessments or other charges imposed by any Governmental Agency, central bank or comparable authority, excluding, in the case of each Creditor, and any Affiliate or Eurodollar Lending Office thereof, (i) taxes imposed on or measured in whole or in part by its net income or capital and franchise taxes imposed on it, (ii) any withholding taxes or other taxes based on net income (other than withholding taxes and taxes based on net income resulting from or attributable to any change in any law, rule or regulation or any change in the interpretation or administration of any law, rule or regulation by any Governmental Agency) or (iii) any withholding taxes or other taxes based on net income for any period with respect to which it has failed to provide Borrowers with the appropriate form or forms required by Section 11.21, to the extent such forms are then required by applicable Laws, (all such non-excluded taxes, assessments or other charges being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"). To the extent that Parent or any Borrower is obligated by applicable Laws to make any deduction or withholding on account of Taxes from any amount payable to any Lender under this Agreement, Parent or that Borrower shall (i) make such deduction or withholding and pay the same to the relevant Governmental Agency and (ii) pay such additional amount to that Lender as is necessary to result in that Lender's receiving a net after-Tax amount equal to the amount to which that Lender would have been entitled under this Agreement absent such deduction or withholding. If and when receipt of such payment results in an excess payment or credit to that Lender on account of such Taxes, that Lender shall promptly refund such excess to Parent or the appropriate Borrower.

3.13 Funding Sources. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan or Advance in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan or Advance in any particular place or manner.

3.14 Failure to Charge Not Subsequent Waiver. Any decision by the Creditors not to require payment of any interest (including interest arising under Section 3.9), fee, cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document, or to calculate any amount payable by a particular method, on any occasion shall in no way limit or be deemed a waiver of the Creditor's right to require full payment of any interest (including interest arising under Section 3.9), fee, cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document on any other or subsequent occasion.

3.15 Fee Determination Detail. Each Creditor shall provide reasonable detail to Parent and the Borrowers regarding the manner in which the amount of any payment to that Creditor under Article 3 has been determined, concurrently with demand for such payment.

3.16 Survivability. All of the Parent's and the Borrowers' obligations under Sections 3.7 and 3.8 shall survive for ninety days following the date on which the Commitments are terminated and all Loans hereunder are fully paid.

9.2 Remedies Upon Event of Default. Without limiting any other rights or remedies of the Creditors provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, or the Loan Documents, or by applicable Law, or in equity, or otherwise:

(a)

Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of any Event of Default other than an Event of Default described in Section 9.1(k):

(i): the commitment to make Advances and all other obligations of the Creditors and all rights of Parent, Borrowers and any other Parties under the Loan Documents shall be suspended without notice to or demand upon Parent or the Borrowers, which are expressly waived by Parent and the Borrowers, except that all of the Lenders or the

Requisite Lenders (as the case may be, in accordance with Section 11.2) may waive an Event of Default or, without waiving, determine, upon terms and conditions satisfactory to the Lenders or Requisite Lenders, as the case may be, to reinstate the Commitments and make further Advances, which waiver or determination shall apply equally to, and shall be binding upon, all the Lenders; and

(ii): the Requisite Lenders may request the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent thereupon shall, terminate the Commitments, demand that Borrowers deposit cash collateral for all Letters of Credit in the amount thereof with the Administrative Agent and/or declare all or any part of the unpaid principal of all Notes, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the same shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without protest, presentment, notice of dishonor, demand or further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Parent and the Borrowers.

(b)

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 9.1(k):

(i): the commitment to make Advances and all other obligations of the Creditors and all rights of Parent, Borrowers and any other Parties under the Loan Documents shall terminate without notice to or demand upon Parent or Borrowers, which are expressly waived by Parent and Borrowers, except that all the Lenders may waive the Event of Default or, without waiving, determine, upon terms and conditions satisfactory to all the Lenders, to reinstate the Commitments and make further Advances, which determination shall apply equally to, and shall be binding upon, all the Lenders; and
(ii): the unpaid principal of all Notes, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents shall be forthwith due and payable, without protest, presentment, notice of dishonor, demand or further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Parent and Borrowers, and Borrowers shall be obligated to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to the then Outstanding Amount thereof).

(c)

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Creditors, or any of them, without notice to (except as expressly provided for in any Loan Document) or demand upon Parent or Borrowers, which are expressly waived by Borrowers (except as to notices expressly provided for in any Loan Document), may proceed (but only with the consent of the Requisite Lenders) to protect, exercise and enforce their rights and remedies under the Loan Documents against Parent and the Borrowers and any other Parties and such other rights and remedies as are provided by Law or equity; provided that, it is agreed as among the Creditors that, following any Event of Default consisting of a failure of a Borrower to make any payment hereunder when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), each Creditor may independently pursue its legal remedies under this Agreement, its Notes and the other Loan Documents against Parent and such Borrower in respect of any such defaulted payments without the consent of the other Lenders, the Issuing Lenders or the Administrative Agent (except to the extent that such payment default has been cured), upon the earliest of

(i): the acceleration of the Obligations,
(ii): any bankruptcy or insolvency event of the types described in Section 9.1(k) in respect of Parent or such Borrower and
(iii): 45 days following the date of such payment default, provided that no individual Creditor may, without the consent of the Requisite Lenders, purport to accelerate the Obligations.

(d): The order and manner in which the Lenders' rights and remedies are to be exercised shall be determined by the Requisite Lenders in their sole discretion, and all payments received by the Creditors, shall be applied first to the costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and disbursements and the allocated costs of attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent) of the Creditors, and thereafter paid pro rata to the Lenders in the same proportions that the aggregate Obligations owed to each Lender under the Loan Documents bear to the aggregate Obligations owed under the Loan Documents to all the Lenders, without priority or preference among the Lenders. Regardless of how each Lender may treat payments for the purpose of its own accounting, for the purpose of computing the Obligations hereunder and under the Notes, payments shall be applied first, to the costs and expenses of the Creditors, as set forth above, second, to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest due under any Loan Documents to and including the date of such application (ratably, and without duplication, according to the accrued and unpaid interest due under each of the Loan Documents), and third, to the payment of all other amounts (including principal and fees) then owing to the Creditors under the Loan Documents. No application of payments will cure any Event of Default, or prevent acceleration, or continued acceleration, of amounts payable under the Loan Documents, or prevent the exercise, or continued exercise, of rights or remedies of the Lenders hereunder or thereunder or at Law or in equity.

ARTICLE 10
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

10.1 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing 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, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, and neither any Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

10.2 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 unless 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.

10.3 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 duties, 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 Requisite 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 Requisite 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 as provided in Sections 9.2 and 11.2) 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, a Lender or the Issuing Lender. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into

(v): any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
(w): the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith,
(x): the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default,

10.4 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 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, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), 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.

10.5 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.

10.6 Resignation by Administrative Agent.

(a)

The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Requisite 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 Requisite 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 and the Issuing Lender, 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

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 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

10.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the Issuing 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 and the Issuing 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.

10.9 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on any Loan Party) 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, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent under Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

MISCELLANEOUS

11.1 Cumulative Remedies; No Waiver. The rights, powers, privileges and remedies of the Creditors provided herein or in any Note or other Loan Document are cumulative and not exclusive of any right, power, privilege or remedy provided by Law or equity. No failure or delay on the part of any Creditor in exercising any right, power, privilege or remedy may be, or may be deemed to be, a waiver thereof; nor may any single or partial exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of the same or any other right, power, privilege or remedy. The terms and conditions of Article 8 hereof are inserted for the sole benefit of the Creditors; the same may be waived in whole or in part, with or without terms or conditions, in respect of any Loan or Letter of Credit without prejudicing the Creditors rights to assert them in whole or in part in respect of any other Loan or Letter of Credit.

11.2 Amendments; Consents. No amendment, modification, supplement, extension, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no approval or consent thereunder, and no consent to any departure by Parent, Borrowers or any other Party therefrom, may in any event be effective unless in writing signed by the Requisite Lenders (and, in the case of any amendment, modification or supplement of or to any Loan Document to which Parent or any Borrower is a party, signed by Parent and that Borrower and, in the case of any amendment, modification or supplement to Article 10, signed by the Administrative Agent), and then only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given; provided, however, that without the approval in writing of all the Lenders, no amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent may be effective:

(a): To forgive any principal Obligation, defer any required payment of any Obligation, reduce the amount or rate of interest payable on any Loan or Advance without the consent of the affected Lender, increase the amount of the Commitments (except as set forth in Section 2.6) or the Applicable Percentage of any Lender or decrease the amount of any letter of credit fee or facility fee payable to any Lender, or reduce any other fee or amount payable to the Creditors under the Loan Documents or to waive an Event of Default consisting of the failure of any Borrower to pay when due principal, interest or any facility fee or letter of credit fee;

Any amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent pursuant to this Section 11.2 shall apply equally to, and shall be binding upon, all of the Creditors. If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by clauses (a) through (d), inclusive, of this Section 11.2, the consent of the Requisite Lenders is obtained, but the consent of one or more of the other Lenders is required and is not obtained, then the Borrowers shall have the right to replace such non-consenting Lender with one or more Eligible Assignees in accordance with Section 11.14(b) if such Eligible Assignee consents to the proposed amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent.

11.3 Costs, Expenses and Taxes. The Borrowers shall pay within two Business Days after demand, accompanied by an invoice therefor, the reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers in connection with the negotiation, preparation, syndication, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and any amendment thereto or waiver thereof which is requested by Borrowers or is entered into when any Default or Event of Default exists. Following any Event of Default, each Borrower shall pay on demand, accompanied by an invoice therefor, the reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and each of the other Creditors in connection with the restructuring, reorganization (including a bankruptcy reorganization) and enforcement or attempted enforcement of the Loan Documents, and any matter related thereto. The foregoing costs and expenses shall include filing fees, recording fees, title insurance fees, appraisal fees, search fees, and other out-of-pocket expenses and the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of any legal counsel (including allocated costs of legal counsel employed by any Creditor), independent public accountants and other outside experts retained by any of the Creditors, whether or not such costs and expenses are incurred or suffered by the Creditors in connection with or during the course of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings of the Parent or any Subsidiary thereof. Such costs and expenses shall also include, in the case of any amendment or waiver of any Loan Document requested by the Parent or the Borrowers, the administrative costs of the Administrative Agent reasonably attributable thereto. Each Borrower shall pay any and all documentary and other taxes, excluding, in the case of each Creditor and its Eurodollar Lending Office thereof, (i) taxes imposed on or measured in whole or in part by its net income or capital and franchise taxes imposed on it, (ii) any withholding taxes or other taxes based on net income (other than withholding taxes and taxes based on net income resulting from or attributable to any change following the Closing Date in any law, rule or regulation or any change following the Closing Date in the interpretation or administration of any law, rule or regulation by any Governmental Agency) or (iii) any withholding taxes or other taxes based on net income for any period with respect to which it has failed to provide the Parent with the appropriate form or forms required by Section 11.21, to the extent such forms are then required by applicable Laws, and all costs, expenses, fees and charges payable or determined to be payable in connection with the filing or recording of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or writing to be delivered hereunder or thereunder, or in connection with any transaction pursuant hereto or thereto, and shall reimburse, hold harmless and indemnify the Creditors from and against any and all loss, liability or legal or other expense with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or failure to pay any such tax, cost, expense, fee or charge or that any of them may suffer or incur by reason of the failure of any Party to perform any of its Obligations. Any amount payable to the Creditors under this Section 11.3 shall bear interest from the second Business Day following the date of demand for payment at the Default Rate.

11.4 Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Committed Advances, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Advances are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Committed Loan or to fund any such participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Committed Loan or to purchase its participation.

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

Lender and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)

Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 11.8(b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Advances) at the time owing to it); provided that

(i): except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if "Trade Date" is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
(ii): each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to rights in respect of Swing Line Advances;
(iii): any assignment of a Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Swing Line Lender unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); and
(iv): the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.8(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.7, 3.8, 3.17 and 11.11 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 11.8(d).

(c)

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

(d)

Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower's Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a "Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender's participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Advances) owing to it); provided that:

(i): such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged;
(ii): such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and
(iii): the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 11.2 that affects such Participant. Subject to Section 11.8(e), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.7, 3.8 and 3.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.8(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.9 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.11 as though it were a Lender.

(e): Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.7, 3.8 or 3.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower's prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.17 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.17(e) as though it were a Lender.

(f)

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

(g)

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

(h)

Special Purpose Funding Vehicles. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a "Granting Lender") may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (a "SPC") the option to provide all or any part of any Committed Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that

(i): nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Committed Loan, and
(ii): if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Committed Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Committed Loan pursuant to the terms hereof or, if it fails to do so, to make such payment to the Administrative Agent as is required under Section 2.10(a).

Each party hereto hereby agrees that

(x): neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Sections 3.7 and 3.8),
(y): no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and
(z): the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder.

The making of a Committed Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Committed Loan were made by such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (1) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Committed Loan to the Granting Lender and (2) disclose on a

confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Committed Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

(i)

Resignation as Issuing Lender or Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above,

(i): upon 30 days' notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, Bank of America may resign as Issuing Lender and/or
(ii): upon 30 days' notice to the Borrower, Bank of America may resign as Swing Line Lender.

In the event of any such resignation as Issuing Lender or Swing Line Lender, Parent and the Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Issuing Lender or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by Parent and the Borrowers to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as Issuing Lender or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If Bank of America resigns as Issuing Lender, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Lender hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Issuing Lender and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.4(g)). If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Advances made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Advances pursuant to Section 2.5.

(j): Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the rights of the Lenders to make assignment of, and grant participations in, their Applicable Percentage of the Commitments shall be subject to the approval of any Gaming Board, to the extent required by applicable Gaming Laws.

11.9 Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender severally agrees that if it, through the exercise of any right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim against Parent, any Borrower, or otherwise, receives payment of the Obligations held by it that is ratably more than any other Lender, through any means, receives in payment of the Obligations held by that Lender, then, subject to applicable Laws:

(a): The Lender exercising the right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim or otherwise receiving such payment shall purchase, and shall be deemed to have simultaneously purchased, from the other Lender a participation in the Obligations held by the other Lender and shall pay to the other Lender a purchase price in an amount so that the share of the Obligations held by each Lender after the exercise of the right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim or receipt of payment shall be in the same proportion that existed prior to the exercise of the right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim or receipt of payment; and
(b): Such other adjustments and purchases of participations shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to ensure that all of the Lenders share any payment obtained in respect of the Obligations ratably in accordance with each Lender's share of the Obligations immediately prior to, and without taking into account, the payment; provided that, if all or any portion of a disproportionate payment obtained as a result of the exercise of the right of setoff, banker's lien, counterclaim or otherwise is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender by Parent, Borrowers or any Person claiming through or succeeding to the rights of Parent or Borrowers, the purchase of a participation shall be rescinded and the purchase price thereof shall be

restored to the extent of the recovery, but without interest. Each Lender that purchases a participation in the Obligations pursuant to this Section 11.9 shall from and after the purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased. Parent and each Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in an Obligation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim with respect to the participation as fully as if the Lender were the original owner of the Obligation purchased.

11.10 Indemnity by Parent and Borrowers. Parent and each Borrower jointly and severally (but as between Parent and Borrowers, ratably) agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each of the Creditors and the Arranger and their Affiliates, directors, officers, agents, attorneys and employees (collectively the "Indemnitees") from and against: (a) Any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action (except a claim, demand, action, or cause of action for any amount excluded from the definition of "Taxes" in Section 3.12(d)) if the claim, demand, action or cause of action arises out of or relates to any act or omission (or alleged act or omission) of Parent, any Borrower, its Affiliates or any of its officers, directors or shareholders relating to the Commitments, the use or contemplated use of proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit, or the relationship of Parent, Borrowers and the Creditors under this Agreement; (b) Any administrative or investigative proceeding by any Governmental Agency arising out of or related to a claim, demand, action or cause of action described in clause (a) above; and (c) any Indemnitee that proposes to settle or compromise any claim or proceeding for which Parent or the Borrowers may be liable for payment of indemnity hereunder shall give Parent and the Borrowers written notice of the terms of such proposed settlement or compromise reasonably in advance of settling or compromising such claim or proceeding and shall obtain Parent's and the Borrowers' prior consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). In connection with any claim, demand, action or cause of action covered by this Section 11.10 against more than one Indemnitee, all such Indemnitees shall be represented by the same legal counsel (which may be a law firm engaged by the Indemnitees or attorneys employed by an Indemnitee or a combination of the foregoing) selected by the Indemnitees; provided, that if such legal counsel determines in good faith that representing all such Indemnitees would or could result in a conflict of interest under Laws or ethical principles applicable to such legal counsel or that a defense or counterclaim is available to an Indemnitee that is not available to all such Indemnitees, then to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid such a conflict of interest or to permit unqualified assertion of such a defense or counterclaim, each Indemnitee shall be entitled to separate representation, with all such legal counsel using reasonable efforts to avoid unnecessary duplication of effort by counsel for all Indemnitees; and further provided that the Administrative Agent (as an Indemnitee) shall at all times be entitled to representation by separate legal counsel (which may be a law firm or attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or a combination of the foregoing). Any obligation or liability of the Parent and the Borrowers to any Indemnitee under this Section 11.10 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the repayment of all Loans and the payment and performance of all other Obligations owed to the Lenders.

11.11 Nonliability of the Lenders. Parent and each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that:

(a): Any inspections of any Property of Parent or its Subsidiaries made by or through the Creditors are solely for purposes of administration of this Agreement and Parent and the Borrowers are not entitled to rely upon the same (whether or not such inspections are at the expense of Parent and the Borrowers);
(b): By accepting, furnishing or approving anything required to be observed, performed, fulfilled or given to the Creditors pursuant to the Loan Documents, none of the Creditors shall be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect

of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof, and such acceptance, furnishing or approval thereof shall not constitute a warranty or representation to anyone with respect thereto by the Creditors;

(c): The relationship among Parent, the Borrowers and the Creditors is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrowers, guarantors and lenders; none of the Creditors shall under any circumstance be construed to be partners or joint venturers of Parent, Borrowers or their Affiliates; none of the Creditors shall under any circumstance be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or trust or a fiduciary relationship with Parent or its Affiliates, or to owe any fiduciary duty to Parent or its Affiliates; none of the Creditors undertakes or assumes any responsibility or duty to Parent or its Affiliates to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform Parent or its Affiliates of any matter in connection with their Property or the operations of Parent or its Affiliates; Parent and its Affiliates shall rely entirely upon their own judgment with respect to such matters; and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information undertaken or assumed by the Creditors in connection with such matters is solely for the protection of the Creditors and neither Parent, the Borrowers nor any other Person is entitled to rely thereon; and
(d): The Creditors shall not be responsible or liable to any Person for any loss, damage, liability or claim of any kind relating to injury or death to Persons or damage to Property caused by the actions, inaction or negligence of Parent and/or its Affiliates and Parent and each Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds the Creditors harmless from any such loss, damage, liability or claim.

11.12 No Third Parties Benefitted. This Agreement is made for the purpose of defining and setting forth certain obligations, rights and duties of Parent, the Borrowers and the Creditors in connection with the Loans, Letters of Credit and Swing Line Advances, and is made for the sole benefit of Parent, the Borrowers, the Creditors, and the Creditors' successors and assigns, and, subject to Section 6.1 successors to Borrowers by permitted merger. Except as provided in Sections 11.8 and 11.11, no other Person shall have any rights of any nature hereunder or by reason hereof.

Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 11.13 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

11.14 Removal of a Lender. Parent and the Borrowers shall have the right to remove a Lender as a party to this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.14 in the event that such Lender:

(ii): Parent and the Borrowers may reduce the applicable Commitment(s) pursuant to Section 2.7 (and, for this purpose, the numerical requirements of such Section shall not apply) by an amount equal to that Lender's Applicable Percentage, pay and provide to such Lender the amount required by clause (a) above and release such Lender from its Applicable Percentage (subject, however, to the requirement that all conditions set forth

in Section 8.2 are met as of the date of such reduction and the payment to the other Lenders of appropriate fees for the assumption of any such Lender's participation in all Letters of Credit and Swing Line Advances then outstanding), in which case the applicable percentage Applicable Percentages of the remaining Lenders shall be ratably increased (but without any increase in the Dollar amount of the Applicable Percentages of such Lenders).

11.15 Further Assurances. Parent and its Subsidiaries shall, at their expense and without expense to the Creditors, do, execute and deliver such further acts and documents as any Creditor from time to time reasonably requires for the assuring and confirming unto the Creditors of the rights hereby created or intended now or hereafter so to be, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of any Loan Document.

In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and govern; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Creditors in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

11.17 Governing Law, Jurisdiction, Etc.

11.22 Gaming Boards.

To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of a Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then

(a): to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and
(b): each Lender and the relevant Issuing Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.
