Each borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of at least (x) in the case of a borrowing for the Company, the Dollar Equivalent amount of $3,000,000 and an integral multiple of 1,000,000 units of the applicable currency, and (y) in the case of a borrowing for a Subsidiary Borrower, the Dollar Equivalent amount of $1,000,000 and an integral multiple of 250,000 units of the applicable currency.

2.2.3 Conversion and Continuation Procedures. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.2.1, the applicable Borrower may, upon irrevocable written notice (or in the case of a borrowing denominated in Dollars, telephonic notice (followed promptly by written confirmation thereof)) to the Administrative Agent in accordance with clause (b) below:

(i) elect, as of any Business Day, to convert any outstanding Revolving Loan denominated in Dollars into a Revolving Loan of a different type; or

(ii) elect, as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, to continue any Group of Eurodollar Loans having an Interest Period expiring on such day (or any part thereof in an aggregate amount not less than (x) in the case of Eurodollar Loans to be made to the Company, a Dollar Equivalent of $3,000,000 and an integral multiple of 1,000,000 units of the applicable currency, and (y) in the case of Eurodollar Loans to be made to a Subsidiary Borrower, a Dollar Equivalent of $1,000,000 and an integral multiple of 250,000 units of the applicable currency) for a new Interest Period.

(b) The applicable Borrower shall give notice to the Administrative Agent of each proposed conversion or continuation not later than (i) in the case of conversion into Base Rate Loans, 1:30 p.m. (Chicago time) on the proposed date of such conversion; and (ii) in the case of a conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans, 2:00 p.m. (local time) at least (x) three Business Days prior to the proposed date of such conversion or continuation, if the applicable Loans are to be converted into or continued as Eurodollar Loans denominated in Dollars, (y) four Business Days prior to the proposed date of such conversion or continuation, if the applicable Loans are to be converted into or continued as Offshore Currency Loans denominated in a currency specified in the definition of “Offshore Currency” on the Effective Date, and (z) the number of Business Days determined by the Administrative Agent to be customary for its syndicated credit facilities, if the applicable Loans are to be converted into or continued as Offshore Currency Loans in a currency not covered by the preceding clause (y), specifying in each case:

(1) the proposed date of conversion or continuation;

(2) the aggregate amount of Loans to be converted or continued;

(3) the type of Loans resulting from the proposed conversion or continuation; and

(4) in the case of conversion into, or continuation of, Eurodollar Loans, the duration of the requested Interest Period therefor.

(c) If upon expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any Eurodollar Loan, the applicable Borrower has failed to select timely a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Eurodollar Loan, such Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to continue such Eurodollar Loan with a one-month Interest Period effective on the last day of such Interest Period.

(d) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Bank of its receipt of a notice of conversion or continuation pursuant to this Section 2.2 or, if no timely notice is provided by the applicable Borrower, of the details of any automatic continuation.

(e) Unless the Required Banks otherwise consent, during the existence of any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default, no Borrower may elect to have a Loan converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Loan.

(f) During the existence of an Event of Default, the Required Banks may require, by notice to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans denominated in an Offshore Currency be prepaid, or be redenominated into Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto.

2.3 Letter of Credit Procedures.

2.3.1 Issuance Procedures. (a) On the Effective Date, each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued hereunder and shall be a “Letter of Credit” for all purposes hereof.

(b) The Company shall give notice to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank of the proposed issuance of each Letter of Credit on a Business Day which is at least three Business Days (or such lesser number of days as the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank shall agree in any particular instance) prior to the proposed date of issuance of such Letter of Credit; provided that at least five days’ prior notice (or such lesser number of days as the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank shall agree in any particular instance) shall be required in respect of each Letter of Credit to be denominated in an Offshore Currency. Each such notice shall be accompanied by an L/C Application, duly executed by the Company (together with any Subsidiary for the joint account of which the related Letter of Credit is to be issued) and in all respects satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, together with such other documentation as the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank may reasonably request in support thereof, it being understood that each L/C Application shall specify, among other things, the date on which the proposed Letter of Credit is to be issued, the amount of such Letter of Credit, the currency in which such Letter of Credit is to be denominated, which shall be Dollars or an Offshore Currency, whether such Letter of Credit is to be transferable and the expiration date of such Letter of Credit (which shall not be later than the earlier of (i) one year from the date of issuance thereof and (ii) seven days prior to the Termination Date (unless either (A) all of the Banks have approved such expiration date or (B) such Letter of Credit is a Supported Letter of Credit or the Company confirms in writing to the applicable Issuing Bank not later than the seventh preceding day that such Letter of Credit will be a Supported Letter of Credit on the Termination Date and such Letter of Credit is in fact a Supported Letter of Credit on the Termination Date; provided that such expiration date shall not be later than one year after the Termination Date)). So long as the applicable Issuing Bank has not received written notice that the conditions precedent to the issuance of a Letter of Credit have not been satisfied, such Issuing Bank shall issue such Letter of Credit on the requested issuance date. The applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly advise the Administrative Agent of the issuance of each Letter of Credit and of any amendment thereto, extension thereof or event or circumstance changing the amount available for drawing thereunder (it being understood that no Issuing Bank shall increase the amount of, or extend the term of, any Letter of Credit unless a replacement Letter of Credit having substantially the same terms as such increased or extended Letter of Credit could be issued at the time of such increase or extension). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if (i) any order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall

prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular; (ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate any law, rule or regulation or any policy of such Issuing Bank; (iii) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars or any Offshore Currency; or (iv) a default of any Bank’s obligation to fund under Section 2.3.5 exists or any Bank is otherwise a Defaulting Bank, unless such Letter of Credit is a Supported Letter of Credit, such Bank’s obligation to fund under Section 2.3.5 has been Cash Collateralized or such Issuing Bank has otherwise entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Company or such Bank to eliminate such Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to such Bank. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall cause all Letters of Credit that are outstanding on the Termination Date to be Supported Letters of Credit on or prior to the Termination Date if such Letters of Credit are to remain outstanding after the Termination Date.

2.3.2 Participations in Letters of Credit. Concurrently with the issuance of each Letter of Credit (or, in the case of the Existing Letters of Credit, on the Effective Date), the applicable Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each other Bank, and each other Bank shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such other Bank’s Percentage, in such Letter of Credit (or, if applicable, all Existing Letters of Credit) and the Company’s reimbursement obligations with respect thereto. For the purposes of this Agreement, the unparticipated portion of each Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the applicable Issuing Bank’s “participation” therein. Each Issuing Bank hereby agrees, upon request of the Administrative Agent or any Bank, to deliver to such Bank a list of all outstanding Letters of Credit, together with such information related thereto as such Bank may reasonably request.

2.3.3 Reimbursement Obligations. In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the applicable Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent. The Company shall (or, if the applicable Letter of Credit was issued jointly for the account of the Company and a Subsidiary, shall cause such Subsidiary to) reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank through the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. (local time) on each date that any amount is paid by such Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”); provided that if the Company does not receive notice of the amount paid by the applicable Issuing Bank prior to 10:00 a.m. (local time) on such Honor Date, the Company shall (or shall cause the applicable Subsidiary to) reimburse such Issuing Bank, in the same currency as was paid by such Issuing Bank or, at the Company’s option, in an amount in Dollars equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the amount so paid by such Issuing Bank, not later than 10:00 a.m. (local time) on the Business Day immediately following the date on which the Company receives notice of the amount so paid by such Issuing Bank (and such reimbursement shall include interest for the period from the Honor Date to the date of reimbursement at the Base Rate (or such other rate as the Company and such Issuing Bank shall agree) on the Dollar Equivalent of the amount so reimbursed). If the Company (or if the applicable Letter of Credit was issued jointly for the account of the Company and a Subsidiary, the Company or such Subsidiary) fails to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the time specified in the previous sentence, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Bank thereof, and the Company shall be deemed to have requested that Base Rate Loans in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such unreimbursed amount be made by Banks on the date the Administrative Agent provides such notice (or, if such notice is provided by the Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m. (local time) on any Business Day, on the immediately following Business Day, subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Commitment Amount and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 11.2). Any notice given by an Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.3.3 may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing (including by facsimile); provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

2.3.4 Limitation on Obligations of Issuing Bank. In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to the Company or any Bank other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the applicable Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence and willful misconduct, shall not impose upon such Issuing Bank any liability to the Company or any Bank and shall not reduce or impair the Company’s reimbursement obligations set forth in Section 2.3.3 or the obligations of the Banks pursuant to Section 2.3.5.

2.3.5 Funding by Banks. Each Bank shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.3.3 make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank an amount in Dollars and in immediately available funds equal to its Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the applicable drawing, whereupon the participating Banks shall (subject to Section 2.3.6) each be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Company in that amount. If any Bank so notified fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank the amount of such Bank’s Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the applicable drawing by 12:00 noon (local time) on the Honor Date, then interest shall accrue on such amount, from the Honor Date to the date such Bank makes such payment, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate in effect from time to time during such period. The Administrative Agent will promptly give notice of the occurrence of the Honor Date, but failure of the Administrative Agent to give any such notice on the Honor Date or in sufficient time to enable any Bank to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Bank from its obligations under this Section 2.3.5.

2.3.6 L/C Borrowings. With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into Base Rate Loans to the Company in whole or in part, because of the Company’s failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 11.2 or for any other reason, the Company shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable Issuing Bank an L/C Borrowing in the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such drawing, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin plus 2.0% per annum, and each Bank’s payment to such Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.3.5 shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Bank in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.3.

2.3.7 Repayment of Participations. Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank of immediately available funds from or on behalf of the Company (a) in reimbursement of any payment or disbursement under a Letter of Credit with respect to which a Bank has paid the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank the amount of such Bank’s participation therein or (b) in payment of any interest thereon, the Administrative Agent will pay to such Bank its pro rata share (according to its Percentage) thereof (and such Issuing Bank shall receive the amount otherwise payable to any Bank which did not so pay the Administrative Agent the amount of such Bank’s participation in such payment or disbursement).

2.3.8 Participation Obligations Unconditional. Each Bank’s obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make the Revolving Loans or L/C Advances, as contemplated by this Section 2.3, as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute and unconditional and without recourse to the applicable Issuing Bank and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (a) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Bank may have against such Issuing Bank, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (b) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default, an Unmatured Event of Default or a Material Adverse Effect; or (c) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Bank’s obligation to make Revolving Loans under this Section 2.3 is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 11.2.

2.3.9 Reimbursement Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Company under this Agreement and any L/C Application to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and to repay any L/C Borrowing and any drawing under a Letter of Credit converted into Revolving Loans, shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each applicable L/C Application under all circumstances, including the following:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any L/C-Application;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the obligations of the Company in respect of any Letter of Credit or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any L/C Application;

(c) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Company may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), such Issuing Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by any L/C Application or any unrelated transaction;

(d) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under any 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; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit;

(e) any payment by such Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of any Letter of Credit; or any payment made by such Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding;

(f) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guarantee, for all or any of the obligations of the Company in respect of any Letter of Credit; or

(g) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Company or a guarantor.

2.3.10 Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank and the Company when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (a) the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) (“ISP98”) shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (b) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance (the “UCP”), shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

2.3.11 Utilization of Offshore Currencies. In the case of a proposed issuance of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Offshore Currency, an Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to issue such Letter of Credit if such Issuing Bank cannot issue Letters of Credit denominated in the requested Offshore Currency, in which event such Issuing Bank will give notice to the Company no later than 10:30 a.m. (local time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of such issuance that the issuance in the requested Offshore Currency is not then available. If the applicable Issuing Bank shall have so notified the Company that any such issuance in a requested Offshore Currency is not then available, then such requested Letter of Credit shall not be issued unless the Company, by notice to such Issuing Bank not later than 5:00 p.m. (local time) three Business Days prior to the requested date of such issuance, requests that the Letter of Credit be denominated in Dollars and issued in an equivalent aggregate amount, in which case the Letter of Credit shall be so denominated and issued.

2.4 Swing Line Loans.

2.4.1 Swing Line Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Swing Line Bank agrees to make loans to the Company (collectively the “Swing Line Loans” and individually each a “Swing Line Loan”) from time to time in Dollars in accordance with this Section 2.4 in an aggregate amount not at any time exceeding the lesser of $50,000,000 and the Commitment Amount (the “Swing Line Commitment”); provided that, after giving effect to the making of each Swing Line Loan, the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Commitment Amount. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.4 may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed until the Termination Date.

2.4.2 Swing Line Loan Procedures. The Company shall give written or telephonic notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly inform the Swing Line Bank) of each proposed Swing Line Loan not later than 2:00 p.m. on the proposed date of such Swing Line Loan (or, if the amount of such Swing Line Loan is to be deposited into an account maintained with JPMorgan or one of its Affiliates, 3:00 p.m. on the proposed date of such Swing Line Loan). Each such notice shall be effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent and shall specify the date and amount of such Swing Line Loan, which shall be $50,000 or a higher integral multiple thereof. So long as the Swing Line Bank has not received written notice that the conditions precedent set forth in Section 11 with respect to the making of such Swing Line Loan have not been satisfied, the Swing Line Bank shall pay over the requested amount to the Company on the requested borrowing date. Concurrently with the making of any Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Bank shall be deemed to have sold and transferred, and each other Bank shall be deemed to have purchased and received from the Swing Line Bank, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such other Bank’s Percentage in such Swing Line Loan (but such participation shall remain unfunded until required to be funded pursuant to Section 2.4.3).

2.4.3 Refunding of, or Funding of Participations in, Swing Line Loans. The Swing Line Bank may at any time, in its sole discretion, upon at least three Business Days’ notice (or same day notice if an Event of Default exists) to the Company and the Administrative Agent (it being understood that any notice delivered after 9:00 a.m. (or, if an Event of Default exists, 11:00 a.m.) shall be deemed received on the next Business Day), on behalf of the Company (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Bank to act on its behalf) deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify each Bank of its receipt thereof) requesting that each Bank (including the Swing Line Bank in its individual capacity) make a Revolving Loan (which shall be a Base Rate Loan unless the Company makes a timely request for a borrowing of Eurodollar Loans denominated in Dollars) on the date specified in such notice in such Bank’s Percentage of the aggregate amount of Swing Line Loans outstanding on such date for the purpose of repaying all Swing Line Loans (and, upon receipt of the proceeds of such Revolving Loans, the Administrative Agent shall apply such proceeds to repay Swing Line Loans); provided that if the conditions precedent to a borrowing of Revolving Loans are not then satisfied or for any other reason the Banks may not then make Revolving Loans, then instead of making Revolving Loans each Bank (other than the Swing Line Bank) shall become immediately obligated to fund its participation in all outstanding Swing Line Loans and shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Bank an amount equal to such Bank’s Percentage of such Swing Line Loans. If and to the extent any Bank shall not have made such amount available to the Administrative Agent by 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day on which such Bank receives notice from the Administrative Agent of its obligation to fund its participation in Swing Line Loans (it being understood that any such notice received after 12:00 noon on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on the next following Business Day), such Bank agrees to pay interest on such amount to the Administrative Agent for the Swing Line Bank’s account forthwith on demand for each day from the date such amount was to have been delivered to the Administrative Agent to the date such amount is paid, at a rate per annum equal to (a) for the first three days after demand, the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect and (b) thereafter, the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin from time to time in effect. Any Bank’s failure to make available to the Administrative Agent its Percentage of the amount of all outstanding Swing Line Loans shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent such other Bank’s Percentage of such amount, but no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make available to the Administrative Agent such other Bank’s Percentage of any such amount.

2.4.4 Repayment of Participations. Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Bank of immediately available funds from or on behalf of the Company (a) in reimbursement of any Swing Line Loan with respect to which a Bank has paid the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Bank the amount of such Bank’s participation therein or (b) in payment of any interest on a Swing Line Loan, the Administrative Agent will pay to such Bank its pro rata share (according to its Percentage) thereof (and the Swing Line Bank shall receive the amount otherwise payable to any Bank which did not so pay the Administrative Agent the amount of such Bank’s participation in such Swing Line Loan).

2.4.5 Participation Obligations Unconditional. (a) Each Bank’s obligation to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Bank the amount of its participation interest in all Swing Line Loans as provided in Section 2.4.3 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Bank may have against the Swing Line Bank or any other Person, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, (iv) any termination of the Commitments or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (a) above, no Bank shall be required to purchase a participation interest in any Swing Line Loan if, prior to the making by the Swing Line Bank of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Bank received written notice specifying that one or more of the conditions precedent to the making of such Swing Line Loan were not satisfied and, in fact, such conditions precedent were not satisfied at the time of the making of such Swing Line Loan.

2.5 Commitments Several. The failure of any Bank to make a requested Loan on any date shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation (if any) to make a Loan on such date, but no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make any Loan to be made by such other Bank.

2.6 Certain Conditions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Bank shall have an obligation to make any Loan, and no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit, if an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists.

2.7 Subsidiary Borrowers. (a) On or after the Effective Date, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Company may designate any wholly-owned Subsidiary (other than any Securitization Subsidiary) as a Subsidiary Borrower by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Subsidiary Borrower Supplement executed by such Subsidiary and the Company, together with a Note in favor of each requesting Bank, and such Subsidiary shall for all purposes of this Agreement be a Subsidiary Borrower and party to this Agreement (until its status as a Subsidiary Borrower is terminated in accordance with clause (c) below). As soon as practicable upon receipt of a Subsidiary Borrower Supplement, the Administrative Agent will deliver a copy thereof to each Bank.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (a), (i) no Subsidiary Borrower that is a Domestic Subsidiary may borrow Revolving Loans prior to the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent has distributed copies of the applicable Subsidiary Borrower Supplement pursuant to the last sentence of clause (a) and (ii) no Subsidiary Borrower that is a Foreign Subsidiary may (x) borrow Revolving Loans prior to the tenth Business Day after the Administrative Agent has distributed copies of the applicable Subsidiary Borrower Supplement pursuant to the last sentence of clause (a) or (y) borrow or maintain Revolving Loans if any Bank has notified the Administrative Agent (which notice has not been withdrawn) that such Bank has determined in good faith that (A) as of the date such Subsidiary Borrower is eligible to borrow Revolving Loans pursuant to the foregoing clause (b)(ii)(x) or (B) as the result of the introduction of, any change in, or any change in the interpretation or administration of any applicable law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), in each case described in this clause (B) after the date on which such Subsidiary Borrower was first eligible to borrow pursuant to the foregoing clause (b)(ii)(x), such Bank cannot make or maintain Loans to such Subsidiary Borrower without (1) adverse tax or legal consequences (unless such consequences only involve the payment of money, in which case such Subsidiary Borrower may borrow and maintain Revolving Loans if it agrees to pay such Bank such amounts as such Bank determines in good faith are necessary to compensate such Bank for such consequences, or such consequences relate to FATCA) or (2) violating (or raising a substantial question as to whether such Bank would violate) any applicable law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law).

(c) So long as the principal of and interest on all Loans made to any Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement shall have been paid in full and all other obligations of such Subsidiary Borrower in such capacity (other than any contingent indemnification or similar obligation not yet due and payable) shall have been fully performed, such Subsidiary Borrower may, upon not less than five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Banks thereof), terminate its status as a “Subsidiary Borrower”.

2.8 Utilization of Commitments in Offshore Currencies; Valuation.

(a) The Administrative Agent will determine the Dollar Equivalent amount of each Eurodollar Loan and each Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars on each Computation Date, and such determination shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. The Administrative Agent will provide the Company with the amount so determined upon request and, in any event, promptly following the end of each month.

(b) Upon receipt of any notice of borrowing of Offshore Currency Loans, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Bank of the approximate amount of such Bank’s Percentage of such borrowing, and the Administrative Agent will, upon the determination of the Dollar Equivalent amount of the borrowing as specified in such notice of borrowing, promptly notify each Bank of the exact amount of such Bank’s Percentage of such borrowing. In the case of a proposed borrowing comprised of Offshore Currency Loans, the Banks shall be under no obligation to make Offshore Currency Loans in the requested Offshore Currency as part of such borrowing if the Administrative Agent has received notice from any Bank by 10:00 a.m. (local time) three Business Days prior to the day of such borrowing that such Bank cannot provide Loans in such Offshore Currency without adverse tax or legal consequences (excluding consequences relating to FATCA), in which event the Administrative Agent will give notice to the Company no later than 4:00 p.m. (local time) three Business Days prior to the requested date of such borrowing that a borrowing in such Offshore Currency is not then available, no such borrowing shall be made and any request for a Revolving Loan in such Offshore Currency shall be deemed withdrawn and shall otherwise be without effect.

(c) In the case of a proposed continuation of Offshore Currency Loans for an additional Interest Period pursuant to Section 2.2.3, the Banks shall be under no obligation to continue such Offshore Currency Loans if the Administrative Agent has received notice from any of the Banks by 10:00 a.m. (local time) three Business Days prior to the day of such continuation that such Bank cannot continue to provide Loans in the applicable Offshore Currency, in which event the Administrative Agent will give notice to the Company not later than 4:00 p.m. (local time) three Business Days prior to the requested date of such continuation that the continuation of such Offshore Currency Loans in such Offshore Currency is not then available, and notice thereof also will be given promptly by the Administrative Agent to the Banks. If the Administrative Agent shall have so notified the Company that any such continuation of Offshore Currency Loans is not then available, any notice of continuation with respect thereto shall be deemed withdrawn and such Offshore Currency Loans shall be redenominated into Revolving Loans consisting of Base Rate Loans assumed by the Company in Dollars with effect from the last day of the Interest Period with respect to any such Offshore Currency Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Banks of any such redenomination and in such notice by the Administrative Agent to each Bank the Administrative Agent will state the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of the redenominated Offshore Currency Loans assumed by the Company as of the Computation Date with respect thereto and such Bank’s Percentage thereof.

(d) The Company shall be entitled to request that Revolving Loans hereunder shall also be permitted to be made in any other lawful currency, in addition to Dollars and the currencies specified in the definition of “Offshore Currency”, that in the opinion of each Bank is at such time freely traded in the offshore interbank foreign exchange markets and is freely transferable and freely convertible into Dollars (an “Agreed Alternative Currency”). The Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any request for designation of an Agreed Alternative Currency in accordance with Section 14.3, to be received by the Administrative Agent not later than noon (local time) at least ten Business Days in advance of the date of any borrowing hereunder proposed to be made in such Agreed Alternative Currency. Upon receipt of any such request the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Banks thereof, and each Bank will use its best efforts to respond to such request within two Business Days of receipt thereof. Each Bank may grant or deny such request in its sole discretion. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company of the acceptance or rejection of any such request.

2.9 Additional Cash Collateral. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Bank, within one Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Company shall Cash Collateralize such Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Bank (determined after giving effect to Section 2.10(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Bank).

(a) The Company and, to the extent provided by any Defaulting Bank, such Defaulting Bank hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Issuing Bank, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Banks’ obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit, to be applied pursuant to clause (b) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank as herein provided (other than any Lien described in Section 10.8(a) or (h)), or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the aggregate Fronting Exposure the Company will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Banks).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.9 or Section 2.10 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Bank’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Bank, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(c) Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.9, and shall promptly be returned to the Company following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Bank status of the applicable Bank), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 2.10, the Person providing Cash Collateral and such Issuing Bank may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

2.10 Defaulting Banks.

(a) Defaulting Bank Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, then, until such time as such Bank is no longer a Defaulting Bank, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Such Defaulting Bank’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 14.1.

(ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Bank (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 12 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 7.5 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to each Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Bank hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize each Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Bank in accordance with Section 2.9; fourth, as the Company may request (so long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Bank has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Company, to be held in a deposit account (as contemplated by the definition of “Cash Collateralize” in Section 1) and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Bank’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize each Issuing Bank’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Bank with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.9; sixth, to the payment of amounts owing to the Banks, each Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Bank as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Bank, any Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Bank against such Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to a Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Bank or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loan or L/C Borrowing in respect of which such Defaulting Bank has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loan was made or the related Letter of Credit was issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 11.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all Non-Defaulting Banks on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, such Defaulting Bank until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans are held by the Banks pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentages without giving effect to clause (iv) below. Any payment, prepayment or other amount paid or payable to a Defaulting Bank that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Bank or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.10(a) or Section 2.9 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Bank, and each Bank irrevocably consents to the foregoing.

(iii) (A) No Defaulting Bank shall be entitled to receive any non-use fee (pursuant to Section 5.1 or otherwise) for any period during which that Bank is a Defaulting Bank (and the Company shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Bank); and (B) each Defaulting Bank shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit fees pursuant to Section 5.2 for any period during which that Bank is a Defaulting Bank only to the extent allocable to its Percentage of the Stated Amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.9; and with respect to any Letter of Credit fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Bank pursuant to the foregoing clause (B), the Company shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Bank that portion of any such Letter of Credit fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Bank with respect to such Defaulting Bank’s participation in Letters of Credit that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Bank pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each Issuing Bank the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Bank to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Bank, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv) All or any part of such Defaulting Bank’s participation in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Banks in accordance with their respective Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Bank’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 11.2 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Company shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Company shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the sum of (A) the Dollar Equivalent principal amount of all Loans of any Non-Defaulting Bank plus (B) such Non-Defaulting Bank’s Percentage of the sum of the outstanding Swing Line Loans and the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit to exceed such Non-Defaulting Bank’s Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Bank arising from such Bank having become a Defaulting Bank, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Bank as a result of such Non-Defaulting Bank’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v) If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Company shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Bank’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize each Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.9.

(b) Defaulting Bank Cure. If the Company, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Bank and each Issuing Bank agree in writing that a Bank is no longer a Defaulting Bank, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral or Backup Support), such Bank will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Banks or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held pro rata by the Banks in accordance with their respective Percentages (without giving effect to clause (a)(iv) above), whereupon such Bank will cease to be a Defaulting Bank; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Bank was a Defaulting Bank; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Bank to Bank will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Bank’s having been a Defaulting Bank.

(c) New Swing Line Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Bank is a Defaulting Bank, (i) the Swing Line Bank shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loan unless it is reasonably satisfied that it has no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan and (ii) no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is reasonably satisfied that it has no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

SECTION 3. EVIDENCE OF DEBT.

3.1 Bank Records. The Credit Extensions made by each Bank shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Bank and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Bank shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Banks to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of any Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing hereunder or under any other Loan Document. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Bank and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Bank made through the Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Bank (through the Administrative Agent) a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit A (each a “Note”), which shall evidence such Bank’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Bank may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

3.2 Administrative Agent Records. In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 3.1, each Bank and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Bank of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Bank in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

SECTION 4. INTEREST.

4.1 Interest Rates.

4.1.1 Interest Rates for Revolving Loans. Each Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan made to it for the period commencing on the date such Revolving Loan is made until such Revolving Loan is paid in full as follows:

(a) at all times such Revolving Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin from time to time in effect; and

(b) at all times such Revolving Loan is a Eurodollar Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Eurodollar Rate (Reserve Adjusted) applicable to each Interest Period for such Loan plus the Eurodollar Margin from time to time in effect; provided that, upon the written request of the Required Banks during the existence of an Event of Default, the interest rate applicable to each Revolving Loan shall be increased by 2% per annum.

4.1.2 Interest Rates on Swing Line Loans. The Company promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Swing Line Loan for the period commencing on the date such Swing Line Loan is made until the date such Swing Line Loan is paid in full at a rate per annum agreed to from time to time between the Company and the Swing Line Bank; provided that if at any time the Banks become obligated to fund their participations in any Swing Line Loan pursuant to Section 2.4.3, such Swing Line Loan shall thereafter bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time for Base Rate Loans pursuant to Section 4.1.1.

4.2 Interest Payment Dates. Accrued interest on each Base Rate Loan (including any Swing Line Loan) shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter and at maturity. Accrued interest on each Eurodollar Loan shall be payable on the last day of each Interest Period relating to such Loan (and, in the case of a Eurodollar Loan with an Interest Period of six months or longer, on each three-month anniversary of the first day of such Interest Period) and at maturity. After maturity, accrued interest on all Loans shall be payable on demand.

4.3 Setting and Notice of Eurodollar Rates. The applicable Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, which shall give notice thereof to the Company and each Bank. Each determination of the applicable Eurodollar Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto, in the absence of demonstrable error. The Administrative Agent shall, upon written request of the Company or any Bank, deliver to the Company or such Bank a statement showing the computations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any applicable Eurodollar Rate hereunder.

4.4 Computation of Interest. All determinations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including any Swing Line Loan bearing interest at or by reference to the Base Rate) when the Base Rate is determined by the Prime Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed. All other computations of interest shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 360 days or on such other basis as the Administrative Agent shall determine is customary for the relevant currency. The applicable interest rate for each Base Rate Loan shall change simultaneously with each change in the Base Rate.

SECTION 5. FEES.

5.1 Non-Use Fee. Subject to Section 2.10(a)(iii)(A), the Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank a non-use fee, for the period from the Effective Date to the Termination Date, at a rate per annum equal to the Non-Use Fee Rate in effect from time to time of the daily average of the unused portion of such Bank’s Commitment. For purposes of calculating usage under this Section, the Commitment Amount shall be deemed used to the extent of the sum of the aggregate Dollar Equivalent outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans (but not Swing Line Loans) and the Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit. Such non-use fee shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter and on the Termination Date for any period then ending for which such non-use fee shall not have theretofore been paid. The non-use fee shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 360 days.

1.1 Letter of Credit Fees. (6) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks pro rata according to their respective Percentages a letter of credit fee for each Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the applicable L/C Fee Rate per annum in effect from time to time of the Dollar Equivalent of the undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit (computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 360 days); provided that, upon the written request of the Required Banks during the existence of an Event of Default, the rate applicable to each Letter of Credit shall be increased by 2% per annum. Such letter of credit fee shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter and on the Termination Date (and, if any Letter of Credit remains outstanding on the Termination Date, thereafter on demand) for the period from the date of the issuance of each Letter of Credit to the date such payment is due or, if earlier, the date on which such Letter of Credit expired or was terminated.

(b) The Company agrees to pay each Issuing Bank a fronting fee for each Letter of Credit in the amount separately agreed between the Company and such Issuing Bank from time to time.

(c) In addition, with respect to each Letter of Credit, the Company agrees to pay to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, such fees and expenses as such Issuing Bank customarily requires in connection with the issuance, negotiation, processing and/or administration of letters of credit in similar situations.

5.3 Up-Front and Funding Fees. The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks such up-front and funding fees as are mutually agreed to by the Company and the Banks.

5.4 Administrative Agent’s and Lead Arrangers’ Fees. The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers such fees as are mutually agreed to from time to time by the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers.

SECTION 6. CHANGES IN COMMITMENT AMOUNT; PREPAYMENTS.

6.1 Changes in Commitment Amount.

1.1.1 Voluntary Reduction or Termination of the Commitments. (7) The Company may from time to time on at least five Business Days’ prior written notice received by the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly advise each Bank thereof) permanently reduce the Commitment Amount to an amount not less than the Total Outstandings. Any such reduction shall be in an amount not less than $10,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000; provided that the Commitment Amount may not be reduced to an amount that is less than the sum of (i) the outstanding Dollar Equivalent principal amount of Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans (after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment thereof), and (ii) the Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit. All reductions of the Commitment Amount shall reduce the Commitments pro rata among the Banks according to their respective Percentages.

(b) The Company may at any time on at least five Business Days’ prior written notice received by the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly advise each Bank thereof) terminate the Commitments upon payment in full of all Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans and all other obligations of the Company hereunder in respect of such Loans and Cash Collateralization in full or the provision of other Backup Support, pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each Issuing Bank, of all obligations arising with respect to the Letters of Credit. Each notice delivered by the Company pursuant to this clause (b) shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

6.1.2 Optional Increase in Commitment Amount. So long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists or would result therefrom and notwithstanding any contrary provision of Section 6.1.1, the Company may, by means of a letter to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit E, request that the Commitment Amount be increased by (a) increasing the Commitment of one or more Banks which have agreed to such increase (it being understood that no Bank shall have any obligation to increase its Commitment pursuant to this Section 6.1.2) and/or (b) adding one or more commercial banks or other Persons as a party hereto with a Commitment in an amount agreed to by any such commercial bank or other Person; provided that (i) no commercial bank or other Person shall be added as a party hereto without the written consent of the Administrative Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld); (ii) in no event shall the aggregate amount of all increases of the Commitment Amount pursuant to this Section 6.1.2 exceed $250,000,000; and (iii) no such increase shall increase the Offshore Currency Sublimit, the amount of the Swing Line Commitment or the L/C Sublimit. Any increase in the Commitment Amount pursuant to this Section 6.1.2 shall be effective three Business Days (or such other period of time as may be agreed upon by the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Banks or other Persons participating in such increase) after the date on which the Administrative Agent has (A) received certified copies of authorizing resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company authorizing such increase (or authorizing the maximum increase amount specified in clause (ii) above) and (B) received and accepted (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld) the applicable increase letter in the form of Annex 1 to Exhibit E (in the case of an increase in the Commitment of an existing Bank) or assumption letter in the form of Annex 2 to Exhibit E (in the case of the addition of a commercial bank or other Person as a new Bank). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the Banks of any increase in the Commitment Amount pursuant to this Section 6.1.2 and of the Commitment and Percentage of each Bank after giving effect thereto. The Company acknowledges that, in order to maintain Loans in accordance with each Bank’s Percentage, a reallocation of the Commitments as a result of a non-pro-rata increase in the Commitment Amount may require prepayment of all or portions of certain Loans on the date of such increase (and any such prepayment shall be subject to the provisions of Section 8.4).

6.2 Prepayments.

6.2.1 Any Borrower may from time to time prepay Loans in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, provided that the Company shall give the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly advise each Bank) notice thereof not later than (a) 2:30 p.m. (or, in the case of prepayment of Swing Line Loans, 4:00 p.m.) on the date of such prepayment (which shall be a Business Day), in the case of Base Rate Loans and Swing Line Loans, and (b) two Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, in each case specifying the Loans to be prepaid and the date and amount of prepayment. Subject to Section 2.2.1, each partial prepayment of Revolving Loans shall be in a minimum Dollar Equivalent amount of $1,000,000 and an integral multiple of 1,000,000 units of the Applicable Currency. Prepayments of Revolving Loans shall be applied pro rata to the applicable Revolving Loans of all Banks in accordance with their Percentages. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor shall include interest on the principal amount being repaid and shall be subject to Section 8.4. Each notice of prepayment under this Section 6.2.1 shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice delivered by the Company of the prepayment of Loans in connection with the termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 6.1.1(b) may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

6.2.2 If on any date the Total Outstandings exceed the Commitment Amount, the Borrowers shall immediately, and without notice or demand, prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans and/or L/C Advances and/or Cash Collateralize (or promptly provide other Backup Support for) the outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount equal to such excess.

6.2.3 If at any time of calculation by the Administrative Agent (pursuant to Section 2.8(a) or otherwise), the sum of the Dollar Equivalent principal amount of all outstanding Offshore Currency Loans plus the Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit denominated in an Offshore Currency exceeds an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the Commitment Amount and (b) 105% of the Offshore Currency Sublimit as a result of fluctuations in currency exchange rates, the applicable Borrowers shall, within two Business Days after receipt of notice thereof, prepay Offshore Currency Loans and/or Cash Collateralize (or promptly provide other Backup Support for) the Letters of Credit denominated in an Offshore Currency in an amount sufficient to cause the sum of the Dollar Equivalent principal amount of all outstanding Offshore Currency Loans plus the Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit denominated in an Offshore Currency to be less than or equal to the Commitment Amount or the Offshore Currency Sublimit, respectively.

SECTION 7. MAKING AND PRORATION OF PAYMENTS; SETOFF; TAXES.

7.1 Making of Payments. All payments of principal of or interest on the Loans, and of all non-use fees and Letter of Credit fees, shall be made by the applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent at its principal office in Chicago in immediately available funds (a) in the case of principal and interest payments with respect to Eurodollar Loans, in the Applicable Currency, and (b) in the case of any other amount, in Dollars or such other currency as shall be specified herein and without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, not later than noon on the date due, and funds received after that hour shall be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent on the next following Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to each Bank its share (if any) of all such payments received in collected funds by the Administrative Agent. All payments under Section 8.1 shall be made by the applicable Borrower directly to the Bank entitled thereto.

7.2 Application of Certain Payments. Each payment of principal shall be applied to such Loans as the applicable Borrower shall direct by notice to be received by the Administrative Agent on or before the date of such payment or, in the absence of such notice, first, to repay such Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans and then, to repay such Loans outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, with those Eurodollar Loans having earlier expiring Interest Periods being repaid prior to those having later expiring Interest Periods. Concurrently with each remittance to any Bank of its share of any such payment, the Administrative Agent shall advise such Bank as to the application of such payment.

7.3 Due Date Extension or Reduction. If any payment of principal or interest with respect to any of the Loans, or of any fees, falls due on a day which is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the immediately following Business Day (unless, in the case of a payment of interest on a Eurodollar Loan, the result of such extension would be to extend the due date for such payment into another calendar month, in which case such due date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day) and any extension or reduction of time shall be reflected in computing interest and fees.

7.4 Failure to Make Payments. Unless the applicable Borrower or a Bank has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment to be made by it is due, that it does not intend to remit such payment, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, assume that such Borrower or such Bank, as the case may be, has timely remitted such payment and may, in its sole and absolute discretion and in reliance thereon, make available such payment to the Person entitled thereto. If such payment was not in fact remitted to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then:

(i) if the applicable Borrower failed to make such payment, each Bank shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the amount of such assumed payment made available to such Bank, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to (a) for the first three days after demand, the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect and (b) thereafter, the Base Rate from time to time in effect; and

(ii) if a Bank failed to make such payment, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company, and the Company shall pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Company at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the applicable borrowing. Nothing in this clause (ii) shall be deemed to relieve any Bank from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Company or any other Borrower may have against any Bank as a result of any default by such Bank hereunder.

7.5 Setoff. The Company agrees that the Administrative Agent and each Bank have all rights of set-off and bankers’ lien provided by applicable law, and in addition thereto, the Company agrees that at any time any Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent, each Bank and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any Affiliate thereof, may apply to the payment of any obligations of the Borrowers hereunder, whether or not then due, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of the Borrowers then or thereafter with the Administrative Agent, such Bank or such Affiliate; provided that if any Defaulting Bank shall exercise any such right of set-off, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.10 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Bank from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Banks, and (y) the Defaulting Bank shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations of the Borrowers as to which it exercised such right of set-off. Each Bank agrees promptly to notify the Company and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Bank or such Affiliate; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

7.6 Proration of Payments. If any Bank shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of offset or otherwise, but excluding any payment pursuant to Section 8.7 or in connection with an assignment or participation pursuant to Section 14.8 or any payment to the Swing Line Bank in respect of a Swing Line Loan prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 12.1.1 or 12.1.3 or any other payment or recovery made on a non-ratable basis pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document) on account of principal of or interest on any Loan (or on account of its participation in any Letter of Credit or Swing Line Loan) in excess of its pro rata share (or other share specified hereunder or under any other applicable Loan Document) of payments and other recoveries obtained by all Banks on account of principal of and interest on Loans (or such participations) then held by them, such Bank shall purchase from the other Banks such participation in the Loans (or sub-participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans) held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Bank to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Bank, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery.

7.7 Taxes. (a) All payments of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding franchise taxes and taxes imposed on or measured by any Bank’s net income or receipts and any United States withholding taxes imposed by FATCA (all non-excluded items being called “Taxes”). If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by a Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation, then the Company will, or will cause each other applicable Borrower to:

(i) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;

(ii) promptly forward to the Administrative Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Administrative Agent evidencing such payment to such authority; and

(iii) (except to the extent such withholding or deduction would not be required if such Bank’s Exemption Representation were true) pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Bank will equal the full amount such Bank would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

Moreover, if any Taxes are directly asserted against the Administrative Agent or any Bank with respect to any payment received by the Administrative Agent or such Bank hereunder, the Administrative Agent or such Bank may pay such Taxes and the Company will, or will cause each other applicable Borrower to (except to the extent such Taxes are payable by a Bank and would not have been payable if such Bank’s Exemption Representation were true), promptly pay such additional amounts (including any penalty, interest and expense) as are necessary in order that the net amount received by such Person after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such Person would have received had such Taxes not been asserted.

(b) If the Company or any other Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Banks, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Company shall indemnify the Banks for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by any Bank as a result of any such failure. For purposes of this Section 7.7, a distribution hereunder by the Administrative Agent or any Bank to or for the account of any Bank shall be deemed a payment by the applicable Borrower.

(c) Each Bank represents and warrants (such Bank’s “Exemption Representation”) to the Company and the Administrative Agent that, as of the date of this Agreement (or, in the case of an Assignee, the date it becomes a party hereto), it is entitled to receive payments hereunder without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes imposed by the United States of America or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof.

(d) Upon the request from time to time of the Company or the Administrative Agent, each Bank that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States of America shall execute and deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent one or more (as the Company or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request) United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI or Forms W-8BEN or such other forms or documents, appropriately completed, as may be applicable to establish the extent, if any, to which a payment to such Bank is exempt from withholding or deduction of Taxes. Without limiting the foregoing, if a payment made to a Bank or any Issuing Bank under a Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Bank or Issuing Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Bank or Issuing Bank shall deliver to each Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i)

of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such Person to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Bank or Issuing Bank has or has not complied with its obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 7.7(d), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement, whether or not such amendments are included in the definition set forth in Section 1. Each Bank and each Issuing Bank agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(e) If, and to the extent that, any Bank shall obtain a credit or other tax benefit with respect to any Taxes indemnified or paid by the Company or another applicable Borrower pursuant to this Section 7.7, such Bank agrees to promptly notify the Company thereof and thereupon to use reasonable efforts to provide the applicable Borrower the benefit of such credit or other tax benefit.

(f) Each Bank shall, promptly upon request by the Company, deliver to the Company copies of all completed and executed forms reasonably deemed necessary by any Borrower in connection with the payment of amounts demanded by such Bank pursuant to the foregoing clause (a).

SECTION 8. INCREASED COSTS; SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR EURODOLLAR LOANS.

8.1 Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law:

(i) shall subject any Bank (or any Eurodollar Office of such Bank) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to its Eurodollar Loans, its Note or its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Bank of the principal of or interest on its Eurodollar Loans or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect of its Eurodollar Loans or its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Bank or its Eurodollar Office imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Bank’s principal executive office or Eurodollar Office is located); or

(ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including any reserve imposed by the FRB, but excluding any reserve included in the determination of interest rates pursuant to Section 4 or costs pursuant to Section 8.1(c)), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by any Bank (or any Eurodollar Office of such Bank); or

(iii) shall impose on any Bank (or its Eurodollar Office) any other condition affecting its Eurodollar Loans, its Note or its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to (or in the case of Regulation D of the FRB, to impose a cost on) such Bank (or any Eurodollar Office of such Bank) of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its Eurodollar Office) under this Agreement or under its Note with respect thereto (in each case after giving effect to any interest earned or to be earned on any reserve or special deposit of the type described in clause (ii) above), then within 10 Business Days after written demand by such Bank (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent) to the Company, so long as such demand is substantially consistent with demands made by such Bank with similarly situated customers of such Bank under agreements having provisions similar to this Section 8.1(a), the Company shall, or shall cause each other applicable Borrower to, pay directly to such Bank such additional amount as will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or such reduction.

(b) If any Bank shall reasonably determine that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Bank’s or its controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of such Bank’s obligations hereunder or under any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Bank or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Bank’s or such controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Bank or such controlling Person to be material, then from time to time, within 10 Business Days after written demand by such Bank (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent) to the Company, so long as such demand is substantially consistent with demands made by such Bank with similarly situated customers of such Bank under agreements having provisions similar to this Section 8.1(b), the Company shall, or shall cause each other applicable Borrower to, pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank or such controlling Person for such reduction.

(c) The per annum interest rate applicable to each Offshore Currency Loan shall be increased for any Interest Period by the Associated Costs Rate for such Interest Period.

8.2 Inability to Determine Rates, etc. If with respect to any Interest Period:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be binding and conclusive on the Borrowers) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Eurodollar Rate; or

(b) Banks having an aggregate Percentage of 40% or more advise the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate (Reserve Adjusted) will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks of maintaining or funding such Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period (taking into account any amount to which such Banks may be entitled under Section 8.1) or that the making or funding of Eurodollar Loans has become impracticable as a result of an event occurring after the date of this Agreement which in the opinion of such Banks materially affects such Loans;

then the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the other parties thereof and, so long as such circumstances shall continue, (i) no Bank shall be under any obligation to make or convert into Eurodollar Loans, (ii) with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurodollar Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended and (iii) on the last day of the current Interest Period for each Eurodollar Loan, such Loan shall, unless then repaid in full, automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan. The Administrative Agent shall promptly revoke any such notice at such time as the applicable circumstances shall no longer continue; provided that, in the case of any such notice made pursuant to clause (b) above, the Required Banks shall have consented to such revocation.

8.3 Changes in Law Rendering Eurodollar Loans Unlawful. In the event that any change after the date hereof in (including the adoption of any new) applicable laws or regulations, or any change after the date hereof in the interpretation of applicable laws or regulations by any governmental or other regulatory body charged with the administration thereof, should make it (or in the good faith judgment of any Bank cause a substantial question as to whether it is) unlawful for any Bank to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Loans, then such Bank shall promptly notify each of the other parties hereto and, so long as such circumstances shall continue, (a) such Bank shall have no obligation to make or convert into Eurodollar Loans (but shall make Base Rate Loans, ignoring the Eurodollar Rate component in determining the Base Rate, concurrently with the making of or conversion into Eurodollar Loans by the Banks which are not so affected, in each case in an amount equal to such Bank’s pro rata share of all Eurodollar Loans which would be made or converted into at such time in the absence of such circumstances) and (b) on the last day of the current Interest Period for each Eurodollar Loan of such Bank (or, in any event, on such earlier date as may be required by the relevant law, regulation or interpretation), such Eurodollar Loan shall, unless then repaid in full, automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan and, if such Loan is denominated in a currency other than Dollars, such Loan shall be redenominated in Dollars at the Spot Rate (and such Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Company when such circumstances cease to exist, at which time such Bank’s obligation to make Eurodollar Loans shall be reinstated). Each Base Rate Loan made by a Bank which, but for the circumstances described in the foregoing sentence, would be a Eurodollar Loan (an “Affected Loan”) shall remain outstanding for the same period as the Group of Eurodollar Loans of which such Affected Loan would be a part absent such circumstances.

8.4 Funding Losses. The Company hereby agrees that upon demand by any Bank (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis in reasonable detail for the amount being claimed, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent), the Company will indemnify such Bank against any net loss or expense which such Bank may sustain or incur (including any net loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Bank to fund or maintain any Eurodollar Loan), as reasonably determined by such Bank, as a result of (a) any payment, prepayment or conversion of any Eurodollar Loan of such Bank on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan (including any conversion pursuant to Section 8.3) or (b) any failure of a Borrower to borrow, prepay or continue, or to convert any Loan into, a Eurodollar Loan on a date specified therefor in a notice of borrowing, prepayment, continuation or conversion pursuant to this Agreement. For this purpose, all notices to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be irrevocable.

8.5 Right of Banks to Fund through Other Offices. Each Bank may, if it so elects, fulfill its commitment as to any Loan by causing a foreign branch or affiliate of such Bank to make such Loan; provided that in such event for the purposes of this Agreement such Loan shall be deemed to have been made by such Bank and the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay such Loan shall nevertheless be to such Bank and shall be deemed held by it, to the extent of such Loan, for the account of such branch or affiliate.

8.6 Discretion of Banks as to Manner of Funding. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Bank shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder shall be made as if such Bank had actually funded and maintained each Eurodollar Loan during each Interest Period for such Loan through the purchase of deposits having a maturity corresponding to such Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period.

8.7 Mitigation of Circumstances; Replacement or Removal of Affected Bank. (a) Each Bank shall promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge which will result in, and will use reasonable commercial efforts available to it (and not, in such Bank’s good faith judgment, otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank) to mitigate or avoid, (i) any obligation by a Borrower to pay any amount pursuant to Section 7.7 or 8.1 or (ii) the occurrence of any circumstance of the nature described in Section 8.2 or 8.3 (and, if any Bank has given notice of any such event described in clause (i) or (ii) above and thereafter such event ceases to exist, such Bank shall promptly so notify the Company and the Administrative Agent). Without limiting the foregoing, (x) each Bank will designate a different funding office if such designation will avoid (or reduce the cost to the applicable Borrower of) any event described in clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence and such designation will not, in such Bank’s good faith judgment, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank; and (y) if any Bank fails to notify the Company of any event or circumstance which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to Section 7.7 or 8.1 within 90 days after such Bank obtains knowledge (or reasonably should have obtained knowledge) of such event or circumstance, then such Bank shall not be entitled to compensation from the applicable Borrower for any amount arising prior to the date which is 90 days before the date on which such Bank notifies the Company of such event or circumstance.

(b) At any time any Bank is an Affected Bank, the Company may replace such Affected Bank as a party to this Agreement with one or more other bank(s) or financial institution(s) reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, such bank(s) or financial institution(s) to have Commitments in such amounts as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank (and upon notice from the Company such Affected Bank shall assign pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, and without recourse or warranty, its Commitment, its Loans, its Note, its participation in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and all of its other rights and obligations hereunder to such replacement bank(s) or other financial institution(s) for a purchase price equal to the sum of the principal amount of the Loans so assigned, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, its ratable share of all accrued and unpaid non-use fees and Letter of Credit fees, any amounts payable under Section 8.4 as a result of such Bank receiving payment of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of an Interest Period therefor and all other obligations then owed to such Affected Bank hereunder).

In addition to the foregoing, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if (i) a Bank demands any payment pursuant to Section 8.1(a) and/or Section 8.1(b) and (ii) the payment so demanded is disproportionately greater than the amount of compensation (if any) that the Company is generally obligated to pay to other Banks arising out of the same event or circumstance giving rise to such demand (a “Trigger Event”), then the Company may terminate such Bank’s Commitment hereunder, provided that (w) no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such Commitment termination, (x) the Company concurrently terminates the Commitment of each other Bank that has made a demand for payment under Section 8.1(a) and/or 8.1(b) that arises out of such Trigger Event and that is similarly disproportionate to the amount the Company is generally obligated to pay to other Banks arising out of such Trigger Event (together with such Bank, each a “Demanding Bank”), (y) the Administrative Agent shall have consented to all such Commitment termination(s) (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, but may include consideration of the adequacy of the Company’s liquidity) and (z) each Demanding Bank has been paid all amounts then due to it under this Agreement and each other Loan Document (which, for the avoidance of doubt, the respective Borrowers may pay in connection with any such termination without making ratable payments to any other Bank (other than another Demanding Bank)). In no event shall the termination of a Demanding Bank’s Commitment in accordance with this paragraph impair or otherwise affect the obligation of the Company to make the payments demanded by such Demanding Bank in accordance with Section 8.1(a) and/or Section 8.1(b).

(c) The Administrative Agent agrees to promptly notify the Company upon any Bank becoming a Defaulting Bank (but the Administrative Agent shall have no liability for any failure to give, or any delay in giving, any such notice).

8.8 Conclusiveness of Statements; Survival of Provisions. Determinations and statements of any Bank pursuant to Section 8.1, 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4 shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. Banks may use reasonable averaging and attribution methods in determining compensation under Sections 8.1 and 8.4, and the provisions of such Sections shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes, cancellation or expiration of the Letters of Credit and any termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 9. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

SECTION 13. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

13.1 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Banks and each Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints JPMorgan 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 Banks and the Issuing Banks, and neither the Company nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

13.2 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.

13.3 Liability of Administrative Agent. 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 an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Banks (or such other number or percentage of the Banks 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, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Bank in violation of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar 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 Company or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Banks (or such other number or percentage of the Banks as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 12.2 and 14.1) 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 Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Company, a Bank or an Issuing Bank.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Loan Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any collateral granted under the Loan Documents, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 11 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

13.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. (a) 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) reasonably 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 reasonably 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 Bank or an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Bank or such Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Bank or such Issuing Bank 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 Company), 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.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 11.1, each Bank that has executed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter either sent by the Administrative Agent to such Bank for consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Bank prior to the proposed Effective Date specifying its objection thereto.

13.5 Credit Decision. Each Bank and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Bank 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 Bank and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Bank 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.

13.6 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Banks shall indemnify upon demand the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Company or any other Loan Party as required by any Loan Document and without limiting the obligation of the Company or any other Loan Party to do so), pro rata, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities to the extent that any such unreimbursed Indemnified Liabilities were incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, or against any other Agent-Related Person acting for the Administrative Agent in connection with such capacity; provided that (a) no Bank shall be liable for any payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of the Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct and (b) no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Banks shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence of willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Bank shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees of attorneys for the Administrative Agent) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Company. The undertaking in this Section shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes, cancellation or expiration of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments, any termination of this Agreement and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

13.7 Agent in Individual Capacity. JPMorgan and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though JPMorgan were not the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Bank hereunder, and without notice to or consent of the Banks. The Banks acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, JPMorgan or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Company or its Subsidiaries (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Company or such Subsidiary) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, JPMorgan and its Affiliates shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Bank, and the terms “Bank” and “Banks” include JPMorgan and, to the extent applicable, its Affiliates in their individual capacities.

13.8 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Banks, the Issuing Banks and the Company. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Banks shall have the right, with the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and which consent shall not be required during the existence of an Event of Default), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and consented to by the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) 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 Banks and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and the Banks that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Banks or the Issuing Banks under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Bank and each Issuing Bank directly, until such time as the Required Banks appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Company to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 13 and Sections 14.6 and 14.12 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.

Any resignation by JPMorgan as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as an Issuing Bank and Swing Line Bank. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank and Swing Line Bank, (ii) the retiring Issuing Bank and Swing Line Bank shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit.

13.9 Withholding Tax. (a) (i) If any Bank is a “foreign corporation, partnership or trust” within the meaning of the Code (a “Foreign Bank”) and such Bank claims exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under Sections 1441 or 1442 of the Code, such Bank agrees with and in favor of the Administrative Agent and the Company, to deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Company:

(A) if such Bank claims an exemption from, or a reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty, two properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN before the payment of any interest in the first calendar year and before the payment of any interest in each third succeeding calendar year during which interest may be paid under this Agreement;

(B) if such Bank claims that interest paid under this Agreement is exempt from United States withholding tax because it is effectively connected with a United States trade or business of such Bank, two properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI before the payment of any interest is due in the first taxable year of such Bank and in each succeeding taxable year of such Bank during which interest may be paid under this Agreement; and

(C) such other form or forms as may be required under the Code or other laws of the United States as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax.

(ii) Each such Bank agrees to promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Company of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.

(b) If any Foreign Bank claims exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, such Bank agrees with and in favor of the Administrative Agent and the Company to deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Company a Form W-8, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto (and, if such Bank delivers a Form W-8, a certificate representing that such Bank is not a “bank” for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Company and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Company (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code)).

(c) If any Bank claims exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty by providing IRS Form W-8BEN and such Bank sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the obligations of the Borrowers under the Loan Documents owing to such Bank, such Bank agrees to notify the Administrative Agent of the percentage amount in which it is no longer the beneficial owner of such obligations. To the extent of such percentage amount, the Administrative Agent will treat such Bank’s IRS Form W-8BEN as no longer valid.

(d) If any Bank claiming exemption from United States withholding tax by filing IRS Form W-8ECI with the Administrative Agent sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the obligations of the Borrowers under the Loan Documents owing to such Bank, such Bank agrees to undertake sole responsibility for complying with the withholding tax requirements imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code.

(e) If any Bank is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding tax, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Bank an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account such reduction. However, if the forms or other documentation required by clause (a) of this Section are not delivered to the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Bank not providing such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code, without reduction.

(f) If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Bank (because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed, or because such Bank failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Bank shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this Section, together with all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and charges). The obligation of the Banks under this subsection shall survive the payment of all obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent.

13.10 Guaranty Matters. The Administrative Agent shall, and the Banks irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to, upon the written request of the Company, release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty if, after giving effect to such release, the Company is in compliance with Sections 10.11 and 10.16. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Banks will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty pursuant to this Section 13.10. In addition to the foregoing, any Subsidiary Guarantor that ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted by this Agreement shall be automatically released from the Subsidiary Guaranty upon the consummation of such transaction.

13.11 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 the Company or any other Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan, reimbursement obligation or other 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 the Company) 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, reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit and all other obligations of the Company and the other Loan Parties under the Loan Documents 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 Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Banks and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Banks and the Administrative Agent under Sections 5 and 14.6) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 5 and 14.6.

Nothing contained herein shall (i) be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the obligations of the Company and the other Loan Parties under the Loan Documents or the rights of any Bank or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Bank in any such proceeding or (ii) preclude any Bank from filing and proving its own claims against the Company, any other Loan Party or any other Person.

13.12 Other Agents. Except as expressly set forth herein, none of the Banks or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as the “Syndication Agent” or a “Co-Documentation Agent” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than, in the case of such Banks, those applicable to all Banks as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Banks or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Bank. Each Bank acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Banks or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

SECTION 14. GENERAL.

14.1 Waiver; Amendments. No delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Bank in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any of them of any right, power or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or the Notes shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by the Required Banks, and then any such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall (i) extend or increase the Commitment of any Bank, (ii) extend any scheduled date for payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fees payable hereunder or (iii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan, the rate of interest thereon or any fees payable hereunder,

without, in each case, the consent of each Bank directly affected thereby; and no amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall (w) release the Company from its obligations under its guarantee set forth in Section 15, (x) release all or substantially all of the value (determined in a manner consistent with the assets and revenues tests contained in the first sentence of Section 10.16) of the Subsidiary Guaranty (other than pursuant to Section 10.16), (y) change any provision of this Section or the definition of Required Banks or reduce the aggregate Percentage required to effect an amendment, modification, waiver or consent or (z) change any provision of Section 7.6, without, in each case, the consent of all Banks. No provisions of Section 13 or other provision of this Agreement affecting the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such shall be amended, modified or waived without the consent of the Administrative Agent. No provision of this Agreement relating to the rights or duties of an Issuing Bank in its capacity as such shall be amended, modified or waived without the consent of each Issuing Bank. No provision of this Agreement affecting the Swing Line Bank in its capacity as such shall be amended, modified or waived without the written consent of the Swing Line Bank. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Defaulting Bank shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, modification, waiver or consent hereunder, except that (x) the Commitment of such Defaulting Bank may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Defaulting Bank and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Banks or each affected Bank that by its terms directly affects any Defaulting Bank more adversely (other than as a result of the relative size of its Commitment) than other affected Banks shall require the consent of such Defaulting Bank.

If any Bank does not consent to a proposed amendment, modification, waiver or consent with respect to any Loan Document that requires the consent of each Bank and that has been approved by the Required Banks, the Company may replace such non-consenting Bank (a “Non-Consenting Bank”) in accordance with Section 8.7(b); provided that such amendment, modification, waiver or consent can be effected as a result of the assignment contemplated by such Section (together with all other such assignments required by the Company to be made pursuant to this paragraph).

14.2 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Agreement.

Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.2 and 2.3, all notices hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile transmission) and shall be sent to the applicable party at its address shown on Schedule 14.3 (or, in the case of a Bank other than JPMorgan, in such Bank’s Administrative Questionnaire) or at such other address as such party may, by written notice received by the other parties, have designated as its address for such purpose. Notices sent by facsimile transmission shall be deemed to have been given when sent and receipt of such facsimile is confirmed; notices sent by mail shall be deemed to have been given three Business Days after the date when sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid; and notices sent by hand delivery or overnight courier service shall be deemed to have been given when received.

14.8 Assignments; Participations.

14.8.1 Assignments. Any Bank may, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Bank and, so long as no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company (which consents shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld and shall not be required for an assignment to another Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund), at any time assign and delegate to one or more commercial banks or other Persons (any Person to whom such an assignment and delegation is to be made being herein called an “Assignee”), all or any fraction of such Bank’s Loans and Commitment (which assignment and delegation shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all the assigning Bank’s Loans and Commitment, other in the case of the Swing Line Bank’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans) in a minimum aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of the assigning Bank’s remaining Commitment and (ii) $5,000,000; provided that (a) no assignment and delegation may be made to any Person if, at the time of such assignment and delegation, the Company would be obligated to pay any greater amount under Section 7.7 or Section 8 to the Assignee than the Company is then obligated to pay to the assigning Bank under such Sections (and if any assignment is made in violation of the foregoing, the Company will not be required to pay the incremental amounts) and (b) the Company and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with the interests so assigned and delegated to an Assignee until the date when all of the following conditions shall have been met:

(x) five Business Days (or such lesser period of time as the Administrative Agent and the assigning Bank shall agree) shall have passed after written notice of such assignment and delegation, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to such Assignee, shall have been given to the Company and the Administrative Agent by such assigning Bank and the Assignee,

(y) the assigning Bank and the Assignee shall have executed and delivered to the Company and the Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit D (an “Assignment Agreement”), together with any documents required to be delivered hereunder, which Assignment Agreement shall have been accepted by the Administrative Agent, and

(z) the assigning Bank or the Assignee shall have paid the Administrative Agent a processing fee of $3,500.

From and after the date on which the conditions described above have been met, (x) such Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated to such Assignee pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Bank hereunder, and (y) the assigning Bank, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall be released from its obligations hereunder; provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Bank will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Bank’s having been a Defaulting Bank. Within five Business Days after the effectiveness of any assignment and delegation to a Person that is not currently a Bank hereunder, the Company shall, upon the Assignee’s request, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (for delivery to the Assignee) a new Note dated the effective date of such assignment. Any attempted assignment and delegation not made in accordance with this Section 14.8.1 shall be null and void.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 14.8.1 or any other provision of this Agreement, (a) no assignment shall be made to (i) the Company or any Affiliate or Subsidiary thereof, (ii) any Defaulting Bank or any Subsidiary thereof, or any Person which, upon becoming a Bank hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (ii) or (iii) a natural Person, and (b) any Bank may at any time assign all or any portion of its Loans and its Note to a Federal Reserve Bank (but no such assignment shall release any Bank from any of its obligations hereunder).

In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Bank hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by such Defaulting Bank, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Bank to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Bank and each other Bank hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Bank hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Bank for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

14.8.2 Participations. Any Bank may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks or other Persons participating interests in any Loan owing to such Bank, the Note held by such Bank, the Commitment of such Bank, the direct or participation interest of such Bank in any Letter of Credit or Swing Line Loan or any other interest of such Bank hereunder (any Person purchasing any such participating interest being herein called a “Participant”). In the event of a sale by a Bank of a participating interest to a Participant, (x) such Bank shall remain the holder of its Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (y) the Company and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations hereunder and (z) all amounts payable by the Company shall be determined as if such Bank had not sold such participation and shall be paid directly to such Bank. No Participant shall have any direct or indirect voting rights hereunder except with respect to any of the events described in the third sentence of Section 14.1. Each Bank agrees to incorporate the requirements of the preceding sentence into each participation agreement which such Bank enters into with any Participant. The Company agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Notes are due and payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Bank under this Agreement or such Note; provided that such right of setoff shall be subject to the obligation of each Participant to share with the Banks, and the Banks agree to share with each Participant, as provided in Section 7.6. The Company also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.7 and Section 8 as if it were a Bank (provided that no Participant shall receive any greater compensation pursuant to Section 7.7 or Section 8 than would have been paid to the participating Bank if no participation had been sold).

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

14.10 Governing Law. This Agreement and each Note shall be a contract made under and governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Illinois applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such State.

14.16 No Fiduciary or Implied Duties.

The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Bank hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Bank of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Bank may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or such Bank in the Agreement Currency, each Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Bank or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or such Bank in such currency, the Administrative Agent or such Bank agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

Effective on the date of execution of a Subject Agreement, such covenant (or covenants) and related definitions that are contained in such Subject Agreement (collectively, the “Incorporated Covenants”) shall be deemed to have been incorporated herein and any event of default in respect of any such Incorporated Covenant shall be deemed to be an Event of Default hereunder, subject to all applicable terms and provisions of this Agreement, including the right of the Required Banks to waive or not waive any breach thereof (independent of any right of any other creditor of the Company in respect of any such Incorporated Covenants). Without limiting the foregoing, any amendment, elimination or termination of any Incorporated Covenant in accordance with the terms of the applicable Subject Agreement (including as a result of the termination of such Subject Agreement) shall constitute an immediate amendment, elimination or termination, as the case may be, of such Incorporated Covenant hereunder.

SECTION 15. COMPANY GUARANTY

15.1 The Guaranty. In order to induce the Banks to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit hereunder and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by the Company from the proceeds of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit, the Company hereby agrees with the Banks as follows: the Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees as primary obligor and not merely as surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Subsidiary Borrowers to the Guaranteed Creditors. If any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Borrowers to the Guaranteed Creditors becomes due and payable hereunder, the Company unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Administrative Agent and/or the Banks, on demand, together with any and all reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses which may be incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Banks in collecting any of the Guaranteed Obligations. If claim is ever made upon any Guaranteed Creditor for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and any of the aforesaid payees repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such payee with any such claimant (including the Borrowers), then and in such event the Company agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon the Company, notwithstanding any revocation of the guaranty under this Section 15 or other instrument evidencing any liability of any Borrower, and the Company shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee.

15.2 Insolvency. Additionally, the Company unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the payment of the Dollar Equivalent of any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Subsidiary Borrowers to the Guaranteed Creditors whether or not due or payable by any Borrower upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 12.1.3, and unconditionally promises to pay the Dollar Equivalent of such Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors, or order, on demand, in lawful money of the United States.

15.3 Nature of Liability. The liability of the Company hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations of any Borrower whether executed by the Company, any other guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of the Company hereunder is not affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by any Borrower or by any other party; or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Guaranteed Obligations of any Borrower; or (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking; or (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by any Borrower; or (e) any payment made to any Guaranteed Creditor on the Guaranteed Obligations which any such Guaranteed Creditor repays to any Borrower pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and the Company waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding.

15.4 Independent Obligation. The obligations of the Company hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other guarantor, any other party or any Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Company whether or not action is brought against any other guarantor, any other party or any Borrower and whether or not any other guarantor, any other party or any Borrower is joined in any such action or actions. The Company waives, to the full extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by a Borrower or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to such Borrower shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to the Company’s obligations under this Section 15.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(g) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, this Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of such other instruments or agreements; and/or

(h) take any other action which would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of the Company from its liabilities under this Section 15;

it being understood that the foregoing shall not permit any action by the Administrative Agent or any Bank that is not otherwise permitted by this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

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

15.7 Subordination. Any of the indebtedness of each Borrower relating to the Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter owing to the Company is hereby subordinated to the Guaranteed Obligations of such Borrower owing to the Guaranteed Creditors, and if the Administrative Agent so requests at a time when an Event of Default exists, all such indebtedness relating to the Guaranteed Obligations of such Borrower to the Company shall be collected, enforced and received by the Company for the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors and be paid over to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Guaranteed Creditors on account of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Borrower to the Guaranteed Creditors, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of the Company under the other provisions of this Section 15. Prior to the transfer by the Company of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any of the indebtedness relating to the Guaranteed Obligations of such Borrower to the Company, the Company shall xxxx such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company hereby agrees with the Guaranteed Creditors that it will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of the guaranty under this Section 15 (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until all Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash.

15.8 Waiver.

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

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Company waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of the guaranty hereunder, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations. The Company assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which the Company assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Banks shall have no duty to advise the Company of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks.

15.9 Nature of Liability. It is the desire and intent of the Company and the Guaranteed Creditors that this Section 15 shall be enforced against the Company to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If, however, and to the extent that, the obligations of the Company under this Section 15 shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers), then the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be deemed to be reduced and the Company shall pay the maximum amount of the Guaranteed Obligations which would be permissible under applicable law.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed and delivered this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

Each of the undersigned agrees that, in the event of the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 12.1.3 of the Credit Agreement, and if such event shall occur at a time when any of the Liabilities may not then be due and payable, such undersigned will pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender Parties forthwith the full amount which would be payable hereunder by such undersigned if all Liabilities were then due and payable.

Section 3. Setoff. To secure all obligations of each of the undersigned hereunder, each of the undersigned agrees that the Administrative Agent and each other Lender Party shall have all rights of set-off and bankers’ lien provided by applicable law, and, at any time an Event of Default exists, may apply toward the payment of such obligations, whether or not then due, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of or in the name of such undersigned now or hereafter with the Administrative Agent or such other Lender Party. By accepting the benefits hereof, each Lender Party agrees promptly to notify the Company and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender Party; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

Section 4. Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty shall in all respects be a continuing, irrevocable, absolute and unconditional guaranty of payment and performance only and not of collectibility, and shall remain in full force and effect (notwithstanding, without limitation, the dissolution of any of the undersigned, that at any time or from time to time no Liabilities are outstanding or any other circumstance) until all Commitments have terminated and all Liabilities have been paid in full.

Section 5. Returned Payments. Each of the undersigned further agrees that if at any time all or any part of any payment theretofore applied by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party to any of the Liabilities is or must be rescinded or returned by the Administrative Agent or such other Lender Party for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or any of the undersigned), such Liabilities shall, for the purposes of this Guaranty, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application by the Administrative Agent or such other Lender Party, and this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such Liabilities, all as though such application by the Administrative Agent or such other Lender Party had not been made.

Section 6. Certain Permitted Actions. The Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party may, from time to time, at its sole discretion and without notice to the undersigned (or any of them), take any or all of the following actions without affecting the obligations of the undersigned hereunder: (a) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligation of any obligor or obligors, in addition to the undersigned, with respect to any of the Liabilities, (b) extend or renew any of the Liabilities for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), alter or exchange any of the Liabilities, or release or compromise any obligation of any of the undersigned hereunder or any obligation of any nature of any other obligor with respect to any of the Liabilities, and (c) resort to the undersigned (or any of them) for payment of any of the Liabilities when due, whether or not the Administrative Agent or such other Lender Party shall have proceeded against any other of the undersigned or any other obligor primarily or secondarily obligated with respect to any of the Liabilities.

Section 7. Delay of Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by or for the account of any of the undersigned pursuant to this Guaranty, the undersigned shall not be subrogated to any rights of the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party until such time as this Guaranty shall have been discontinued as to all of the undersigned and the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties shall have received payment of the full amount of all Liabilities.

Section 8. Certain Waivers. Each of the undersigned hereby expressly waives: (a) notice of the acceptance by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party of this Guaranty, (b) notice of the existence or creation or non-payment of any of the Liabilities, (c) presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, and all other notices whatsoever, (d) all diligence in collection or protection of or realization upon any Liabilities or any security for or guaranty of any Liabilities and (e) any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require any Lender Party to (i) proceed against the Company, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Company, any other guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in any Lender Party’s power whatsoever. Each of the undersigned waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Company, any other guarantor or any other party, other than payment in full of the Liabilities, based on or arising out of the disability of the Company, any other guarantor or any other party, or the validity, legality or unenforceability of the Liabilities or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Company other than payment in full of the Liabilities. Each of the undersigned agree that the Lender Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Lender Parties may have against the Company or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any of the undersigned hereunder except to the extent the Liabilities have been paid. Each of the undersigned waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Lender Parties, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such undersigned against the Company or any other party or any security.

Section 9. Additional Liabilities. The creation or existence from time to time of additional Liabilities to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party or any of them is hereby authorized, without notice to the undersigned (or any of them), and shall in no way affect or impair the rights of the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party or the obligations of the undersigned under this Guaranty.

Section 10. Assignment or Transfer of Liabilities. The Administrative Agent and any other Lender Party may from time to time, without notice to the undersigned (or any of them), assign or transfer any or all of the Liabilities or any interest therein; and, notwithstanding any such assignment or transfer or any subsequent assignment or transfer thereof, such Liabilities shall be and remain Liabilities for the purposes of this Guaranty, and each and every immediate and successive assignee or transferee of any of the Liabilities or of any interest therein shall, to the extent of the interest of such assignee or transferee in the Liabilities, be entitled to the benefits of this Guaranty to the same extent as if such assignee or transferee were a Lender Party.

Section 11. General. (a) No delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy; nor shall any modification or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty be binding upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered on behalf of the Administrative Agent (or, if at any time there is no Administrative Agent, the Required Banks or, if required pursuant to Section 14.1 of the Credit Agreement, all Banks). No action of the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party permitted hereunder shall in any way affect or impair the rights of the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party or the obligations of the undersigned under this Guaranty. For purposes of this Guaranty, Liabilities shall include all obligations of the Company to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party arising under or in connection with any Loan Document and all Hedging Obligations to any Lender Party, notwithstanding any right or power of the Company or anyone else to assert any claim or defense as to the invalidity or unenforceability of any such obligation, and no such claim or defense shall affect or impair the obligations of the undersigned hereunder.

(b) Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, (i) this Guaranty has been delivered to the Administrative Agent and (ii) the Administrative Agent has been authorized to enforce this Guaranty on behalf of itself and each of the Lender Parties. All payments by the undersigned pursuant to this Guaranty shall be made to the Administrative Agent for ratable application to the Liabilities or, if there is no Administrative Agent, to the Lender Parties for their ratable benefit.

(c) This Guaranty shall be binding upon the undersigned and the successors and assigns of the undersigned; and to the extent that the Company or any of the undersigned is a partnership, corporation, limited liability company or other entity, all references herein to the Company and to the undersigned, respectively, shall be deemed to include any successor or successors, whether immediate or remote, to such entity. The term “undersigned” as used herein shall mean all parties executing this Guaranty and each of them, and all such parties shall be jointly and severally obligated hereunder.

(d) This Guaranty has been delivered at Chicago, Illinois, and shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of Illinois. Wherever possible each provision of this Guaranty shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Guaranty shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Guaranty.

(e) This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Guaranty. At any time after the date of this Guaranty, one or more additional Persons may become parties hereto by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent an additional signature page for this Guaranty. Immediately upon such execution and delivery (and without any further action), each such additional Person will become a party to, and will be bound by all of the terms of, this Guaranty.

(f) ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTY, SHALL BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS. EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION AS SET FORTH ABOVE. EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS BY REGISTERED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO THE ADDRESS SET FORTH UNDER ITS NAME ON THE SIGNATURE PAGES HEREOF (OR SUCH OTHER ADDRESS AS IT SHALL HAVE SPECIFIED IN WRITING TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AS ITS ADDRESS FOR NOTICES HEREUNDER) OR BY PERSONAL SERVICE WITHIN OR WITHOUT THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

(g) EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED, AND (BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS HEREOF) EACH OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER PARTY, HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS GUARANTY, OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH OR ARISING FROM ANY FINANCING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE FOREGOING, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.

(h) By its acceptance hereof, the Administrative Agent agrees that it will, promptly upon request by the Company (which request shall be accompanied by any documentation the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to confirm that any applicable conditions to the Administrative Agent’s acting upon such request have been satisfied (on which documentation the Administrative Agent may conclusively rely absent written notice to the contrary)), release any of the undersigned from its obligations hereunder if, after giving effect to such release, no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default exists or would result therefrom; provided that after giving effect to such release, the Company shall be in compliance with Section 10.17 of the Credit Agreement. In addition to the foregoing, any Subsidiary Guarantor that ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement shall be automatically released from this Guaranty upon the consummation of such transaction.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered as of the day and year first above written.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

The undersigned, (the “Subsidiary”), a [corporation], wishes to become a “Subsidiary Borrower” under the Credit Agreement, and accordingly agrees that from the date hereof it shall become a “Subsidiary Borrower” under the Credit Agreement and agrees that from the date hereof and until the payment in full of the principal of and interest on all Loans made to it under the Credit Agreement and performance of all of its other obligations thereunder in its capacity as a Subsidiary Borrower (other than contingent indemnification or similar obligations not yet due and payable), and termination hereunder of its status as a “Subsidiary Borrower” as provided below, it shall perform, comply with and be bound by each of the provisions of the Credit Agreement which are stated to apply to a “Borrower” or a “Subsidiary Borrower.” Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Subsidiary affirms the jurisdictional and other provisions of Section 14.12 and 14.13 of the Credit Agreement and acknowledges that it has heretofore received a true and correct copy of the Credit Agreement (including any modifications thereof or supplements or waivers thereto) as in effect on the date hereof. In addition, the Subsidiary authorizes the Company to act on its behalf as and to the extent provided for in Section 2 of the Credit Agreement in connection with the selection of Types and Interest Periods for Loans and with the issuance of Letters of Credit, and the conversion and continuation of Loans.

So long as the principal of and interest on all Loans made to the Subsidiary under the Credit Agreement shall have been paid in full and all other obligations of the Subsidiary in its capacity as a Subsidiary Borrower (other than contingent indemnification or similar obligations not yet due and payable) shall have been fully performed, the Subsidiary may, upon not less than five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Banks thereof), terminate its status as a “Subsidiary Borrower”.

The Subsidiary makes and confirms all representations and warranties applicable to it contained in Section 9 of the Credit Agreement.

CHOICE OF LAW. THIS SUBSIDIARY BORROWER SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS (WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF); PROVIDED THAT THE BORROWERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE BANKS SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS ARISING UNDER FEDERAL LAW.
