Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company and each applicable Borrowing Subsidiary may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.

SECTION 2.2Loans and Borrowings. Each Revolving Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Revolving Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments. Each Competitive Loan shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.4. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments and Competitive Bids of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

(b)Subject to Section 2.13, (i) each Revolving Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans (which shall be denominated in Dollars) or Eurocurrency Loans as the Company (on its own behalf or on behalf of any other applicable Borrower) may request in accordance herewith, and (ii) each Competitive Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Eurocurrency Loans or Fixed Rate Loans as the Company (on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Borrower) may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurocurrency Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c)At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency) and not less than $10,000,000 (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency). At the time that each ABR Revolving Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000; provided that an ABR Revolving Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments. ABR Loans shall be denominated only in Dollars. Each Competitive Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000, and each Competitive Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than the Dollar Equivalent of $5,000,000. Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of 15 Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowings outstanding.

(d)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company (on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Borrower) shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.

SECTION 2.3.Requests for Revolving Borrowings.

To request Competitive Bids, the Company (on its own behalf and on behalf of any other Borrowers) shall hand deliver, telecopy or electronically transmit to the Advance Agent a duly completed Competitive Bid Request in the form of Exhibit A-1 hereto, to be received by the Advance Agent, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, four Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing and, in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing. A Competitive Bid Request that does not conform substantially to Exhibit A-1 may be rejected in the Advance Agent’s sole discretion, and the Advance Agent shall promptly notify the Company of such rejection by electronic transmission.

A notice given by such Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (d) shall be irrevocable.

(e)The Advance Agent shall promptly notify each bidding Lender by telecopy or electronic transmission, as applicable, whether or not its Competitive Bid has been accepted (and, if so, the amount and Competitive Bid Rate so accepted), and each successful bidder will thereupon become bound, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, to make the Competitive Loan in respect of which its Competitive Bid has been accepted.

(f)If the Advance Agent shall elect to submit a Competitive Bid in its capacity as a Lender, it shall submit such Competitive Bid directly to the Company at least one quarter of an hour earlier than the time by which the other Lenders are required to submit their Competitive Bids to the Advance Agent pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.

(g)All notices required by this Section 2.4 shall be given in accordance with Section 8.1.

SECTION 2.5.Extension of Maturity Date.

(a)The Company may, by sending an Extension Letter to CBNA (in which case CBNA shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), during the period of not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to any anniversary of the Effective Date, request that the Lenders extend the Maturity Date at the time in effect to the first anniversary of the Maturity Date then in effect. Each Lender, acting in its sole discretion, shall, by notice to CBNA given not more than 20 days after the date of the Extension Letter, advise CBNA in writing whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension (each Lender that so advises CBNA that it will not extend the Maturity Date, being referred to herein as a “Non-extending Lender”); provided that any Lender that does not advise CBNA by the 20th day after the date of the Extension Letter shall be deemed to be a Non-extending Lender. The election of any Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Lender to agree.

(b)(i) If Lenders holding Commitments that aggregate more than 50% of the total Commitments on the 20th day after the date of the Extension Letter shall not have agreed to extend the

Maturity Date, then the Maturity Date shall not be so extended and the outstanding principal balance of all Loans and other amounts payable hereunder shall be payable on such Maturity Date.

(ii) If (and only if) Lenders holding Commitments that aggregate more than 50% of the total Commitments on the 20th day after the date of the Extension Letter shall have agreed to extend the Maturity Date, then the Maturity Date applicable to the Lenders that shall so have agreed shall be the first anniversary of the current Maturity Date. In the event of such extension, the Commitment of each Non-extending Lender shall terminate on the Maturity Date in effect prior to such extension, all Loans and other amounts payable hereunder to such Non-extending Lenders shall become due and payable on such Maturity Date and the total Commitment of the Lenders hereunder shall be reduced by the Commitments of Non-extending Lenders so terminated on such Maturity Date.

(c)In the event that the conditions of clause (ii) of paragraph (b) above have been satisfied, the Company shall have the right on or before the Maturity Date in effect prior to the requested extension, at its own expense, to require any Non-extending Lender to transfer and assign without recourse (except as to title and the absence of Liens created by it) (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 8.4) all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more banks or other financial institutions identified to the Non-extending Lender, which may include any Lender which agrees to accept such transfer and assignment (each an “Additional Commitment Lender”), provided that (x) such Additional Commitment Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of CBNA and the Company (such approvals not to be unreasonably withheld), (y) such assignment shall become effective as of a date specified by the Company (which shall not be later than the Maturity Date in effect prior to the requested extension) and (z) the Additional Commitment Lender shall pay to such Non-extending Lender in immediately available funds on the effective date of such assignment the principal of and interest accrued to the date of payment on the Loans made by it hereunder and all other amounts accrued for its account or owed to it hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no extension of the Maturity Date shall become effective unless, on the effective date of such extension the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 4.2 shall be satisfied or waived (with all references in such paragraphs to a Borrowing being deemed to be references to the effective date of such extension) and CBNA shall have received a certificate to that effect dated the effective date of such extension and executed by a Financial Officer of the Company.

SECTION 2.6Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds in Dollars or in the applicable Alternative Currency, as the case may be, to the account of CBNA or an Affiliate thereof most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders, by 2:00 p.m., New York City time (or, in the case of any Competitive Loan with respect to which a Borrower shall have requested funding in another jurisdiction, to such account in such jurisdiction as CBNA shall designate for such purpose by notice to the applicable Lenders, by 2:00 p.m., local time). CBNA will make such Loans available to such Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of such Borrower maintained with CBNA in New York City (or, in the case of any Loan with respect to which such Borrower shall have requested funding in another jurisdiction, to such account in such jurisdiction as such Borrower shall have designated in the applicable Borrowing Request or Competitive Bid Request).

(b)Unless CBNA shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to CBNA such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, CBNA may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to such Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the

applicable Borrowing available to CBNA, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to CBNA forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to CBNA, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the applicable NYFRB Rate from time to time in effect or (ii) in the case of such Borrower, the interest rate on the applicable Borrowing; provided that no repayment by such Borrower pursuant to this sentence shall be deemed to be a prepayment for purposes of Section 2.15. If such Lender pays such amount to CBNA, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.7Interest Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type and in the Currency specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Company (on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Borrower) may elect to convert such Borrowing (if denominated in Dollars) to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods or Currencies therefor, all as provided in this Section. Eurocurrency Loans may not be converted to Loans of a different Type. The Company (on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Borrower) may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Competitive Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

(b)To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Company (on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Borrower) shall notify CBNA of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.3 if the Company (on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Borrower) were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, telecopy or electronic transmission to CBNA of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by CBNA and signed by the Company.

(c)Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.2:

(i)the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii)the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii)whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; and

(iv)if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, (A) the Currency of the resulting Borrowing and (B) the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify (x) an Interest Period, then the Company (on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Borrower) shall be

deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration or (y) a Currency, then the Company (on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Borrowing Subsidiary) shall be deemed to have selected a Borrowing denominated in Dollars (in the case of an initial Eurocurrency Borrowing) or the same Currency as the Eurocurrency Borrowing being continued.

(d)Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, CBNA shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e)If the Company (on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Borrower) fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing (i) if denominated in Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing and (ii) if denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be converted to a one month Interest Period denominated in the same Currency as the Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing being continued. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and CBNA, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Company, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Revolving Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.8.Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

(b)The Company may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000 and (ii) the Company shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures plus the Competitive Loan Exposures would exceed the total Commitments.

(c)The Company shall notify CBNA of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, CBNA shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section 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 CBNA on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

SECTION 2.9Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to CBNA for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of its Revolving Loans on the Maturity Date and (ii) to CBNA for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Competitive Loan on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan.

(b)Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made

by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(c)CBNA shall maintain a Register pursuant to subsection 8.4(d), and an account for each Lender in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and any promissory note evidencing such Loan, the Class, Type and Currency thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by CBNA hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d)The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or CBNA to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e)Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note for its Competitive Loans and a promissory note for its Revolving Loans. In such event, the applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by CBNA. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 8.4) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its assigns).

SECTION 2.10.Prepayment of Loans. (a) The applicable Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that no Borrower shall have the right to prepay any Competitive Loan without the prior consent of the Lender thereof (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(b) The Company (on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Borrower) shall notify CBNA by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or electronic transmission) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time three Business Days before the date of prepayment and (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.8, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.8. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, CBNA shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.2. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12.

SECTION 2.11.Fees. (a)The Company agrees to pay to CBNA for the account of each Lender a commitment fee in Dollars which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the average daily amount of the unused Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the date hereof to but excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates. Accrued commitment fees shall be

payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b)The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agents, for their own account, the administrative, auction and other fees separately agreed upon between the Company and the Administrative Agents (collectively, the “Administrative Fees”).

(c)All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to CBNA for distribution, in the case of commitment fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.12.Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b)The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest (i) in the case of a Eurocurrency Revolving Loan, at the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate or (ii) in the case of a Eurocurrency Competitive Loan, at the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus (or minus, as applicable) the Competitive Loan Margin applicable to such Loan.

(c)Each Fixed Rate Loan shall bear interest at the Fixed Rate applicable to such Loan.

(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by any Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 1% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 1% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(e)Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Revolving Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(f)All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at time when the Alternate Base Rate is based on clause (a) of the first sentence of the definition of Alternate Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by CBNA, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.13.Alternate Rate of Interest. IfSubject to Section 1.6, if prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing:

(a)CBNA shall have determined (which determination shall be made in good faith and shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

(b)CBNA is advised by the Required Lenders (or, in the case of a Eurocurrency Competitive Loan, the Lender that is required to make such Loan) that the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then CBNA shall give notice thereof to the Company (on its own behalf or on behalf of the applicable Borrower) and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy or electronic transmission, as applicable, as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until CBNA notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective, (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made in Dollars as an ABR Borrowing and (iii) any request by the Company (on its own behalf or on behalf of any Borrower) for a Eurocurrency Competitive Borrowing shall be ineffective; provided that (A) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice do not affect all the Lenders, then requests by the Company for Eurocurrency Competitive Borrowings may be made to Lenders that are not affected thereby, (B) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted and (C) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice effect only one Currency, then the other Borrowings in other Currencies shall be permitted.

SECTION 2.14.Increased Costs. If any Change in Law shall:

(i)subject any Lender or Agent to any Taxes (other than Taxes covered by Section 2.16, and Taxes on gross or net income, profits or revenue (including value-added or similar(x) Non-Excluded Taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment made by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers under any Loan Document, (y) Excluded Taxes and (z) Other Taxes)) on its Loans, Loan principal, Commitments, or other obligations under the Loan Documents, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

(ii)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender; or

(iii)impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans or Fixed Rate Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any Loan) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements or liquidity has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have

achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time the Company will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts shall have been determined, shall be delivered to the applicable Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d)Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 60 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies such Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 60-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e)Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, a Lender shall not be entitled to compensation pursuant to this Section in respect of any Competitive Loan if the Change in Law that would otherwise entitle it to such compensation shall have been publicly announced prior to submission of the Competitive Bid pursuant to which such Loan was made.

(f)If the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining any Loan (other than a Competitive Loan) to a Borrowing Subsidiary incorporated or organized in a jurisdiction other than the United States or any state thereof is increased (or the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Lender or its lending office is reduced) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, by reason of the fact that such Borrowing Subsidiary is incorporated or organized in a jurisdiction outside of the United States, such Borrowing Subsidiary shall indemnify such Lender for such increased cost or reduction within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to CBNA), which such Lender shall make within sixty (60) days from the day such Lender has notice of such increased cost or reduction.

SECTION 2.15.Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan or Fixed Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Revolving Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.10(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith), (d) the failure to borrow any Competitive Loan after accepting the Competitive Bid to make such Loan, or (e) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan or Fixed Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by any Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such event, the applicable Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the out-of-pocket loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the present value of the excess, if any, of (i) its cost of obtaining the funds for the Loan being paid, prepaid, refinanced or not borrowed (assumed to be the LIBO Rate that would have been applicable

thereto) for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment, refinancing or failure to borrow or refinance to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow or refinance the Interest Period for such Loan which would have commenced on the date of such failure) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would be realized by such Lender in reemploying the funds so paid, prepaid or not borrowed or refinanced for such period or Interest Period, as the case may be. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts shall have been determined shall be delivered to the applicable Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Such Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.16.Taxes. (a) Any and all payments to the Lenders or the Administrative Agents hereunder by a Borrower or on behalfaccount of any Borrower shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all current or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) net income or franchise and similar taxes imposed on (or measured by) net income and any branch profits tax imposed on any Administrative Agent or any Lender (or participant) by the United States andor any other jurisdiction as a result of a present or former connection between such Administrative Agent or such Lender (or participant) and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than as a result of entering into this Agreement, performing any obligations hereunder, receiving any payments hereunder or enforcing any rights hereunder), (ii) any branch profits tax imposed by the United States or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction in which any Borrower is located, (iii) taxes that are imposed under FATCA and (iviii) any taxes that are attributable solely to the failure of any Lender to comply with Section 2.16 (g)(i) or 2.16(h) (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities, collectively or individually, “Non-Excluded Taxes” and all such excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities, collectively or individually, together with any Taxes described in Section 2.16(i), “Excluded Taxes”). If any applicable withholding agent shall be required to deduct any Non-Excluded Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or any Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount (an “Additional Amount”) necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to Additional Amounts payable under this Section 2.16) such Lender or such Administrative Agent (as the case may be) shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b)In addition, the relevant Borrower (or the Company, as guarantor, as applicable) shall pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any current or future stamp, intangibles or documentary Taxes or any other excise or property Taxes, charges or similar levies arising from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document that are imposed by a Governmental Authority in a jurisdiction in which the relevant Borrower or the Company is incorporated, organized, managed and controlled or considered to have its seat or otherwise has a connection (other than as a result of entering into this Agreement, performing any obligations hereunder, receiving any payments hereunder or enforcing any rights hereunder) (“Other Taxes”).

(c)The relevant Borrower (or the Company, as guarantor, as applicable) shall jointly and severally indemnify each Lender (or participant) and each Administrative Agent for the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes paid by such Lender (or participant) or such Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses (including

reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses)) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared by a Lender, or an Administrative Agent on its behalf and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount shall have been determined, absent manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes. Such indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date the Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, makes written demand therefor, which written demand shall be made within 180 days of the date such Lender or Administrative Agent receives written demand for payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes from the relevant Governmental Authority.

(d)If a Lender (or participant) or an Administrative Agent receives a refund in respect of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the relevant Borrower or the Company, as guarantor, as applicable, or with respect to which the relevant Borrower or the Company, as guarantor, as applicable, has paid Additional Amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall within 30 days from the date of such receipt pay over such refund to the relevant Borrower or the Company, as guarantor, as applicable (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or Additional Amounts paid, by the relevant Borrower or the Company, as guarantor, as applicable under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender (or participant) or such Administrative Agent and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that the relevant Borrower or the Company, as guarantor, as applicable, upon the request of such Lender (or participant) or such Administrative Agent, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the relevant Borrower or the Company, as guarantor, as applicable (plus penalties, interest or other charges) to such Lender (or participant) or such Administrative Agent in the event such Lender (or participant) or such Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.

(e)As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes by the relevant Borrower or the Company, as guarantor, as applicable, to the relevant Governmental Authority, the relevant Borrower or the Company, as guarantor, as applicable, will deliver to CBNA, at its addresses referred to in Section 8.1, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing payment thereof.

(f)Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement contained herein, the agreements and obligations contained in this Section 2.16 shall survive the payment in full of the principal of and interest on all Loans made hereunder.

(g)(i) Each Lender (or participant) that is a United States person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Company and CBNA two copies of either United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 (or successor forms). Each Lender (or participant) that is not a United States person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Company and CBNA two copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI (or any successor forms), Form W-8IMY (or successor form) together with any applicable underlying IRS forms, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. Federalfederal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, or any subsequent or substitute versions thereof or successors thereto (and a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F representing that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, is not a 10 percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Company, is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Company (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code) and is not conducting a trade or business in the United States with which the relevant interest payments are effectively connected), properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete

exemption from, or reduced rate of, U.S. Federalfederal withholding tax on payments by the Company under this Agreement. Such forms shall be delivered by each Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a participant, on or before the date such participant becomes a participant hereunder) and on or before the date, if any, such Lender changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office (a “New Lending Office”). In addition, each Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.16(g), a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 2.16(g) that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(ii) If a payment made to a Lender (or participant) under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender 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 Lender shall deliver to the applicable Borrower and CBNA, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the applicable Borrower or CBNA, 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 the applicable Borrower or CBNA as may be necessary for such Borrower or CBNA to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

(h)A Lender (or participant) that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrowing Subsidiary is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrowing Subsidiary (with a copy to CBNA), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrowing Subsidiary, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Lender (or participant) is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’sLender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender (or participant).

(i)The relevant Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Lender, or to pay any Additional Amounts to any Lender, in respect of any withholding tax pursuant to paragraph (a) or (c) above to the extent that (i) such withholding tax is imposed by the United States and the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to such withholding tax was in effect and would apply to amounts payable to such Lender on the date such Lender became a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a participant, on the date such participant became a participant hereunder) or, with respect to payments to a New Lending Office, the date such Lender designated such New Lending Office with respect to a Loan or, with respect to payments by a Borrower pursuant to a Competitive Loan, as of the date the Company accepts a Competitive Bid pursuant to Section 2.4(d); provided, however, that this clause (i) shall not apply to any Lender (or participant) if the assignment, participation, transfer or designation of a New Lending Office was made at the request of the relevant Borrower or was made pursuant to Section 2.18 or Section 2.19; and provided further, however, that this clause (i) shall not apply to the extent the indemnity payment or Additional Amounts any Lender (or participant) would be entitled to receive (without regard to this clause (i)) do not exceed the indemnity payment or Additional Amounts that the Lender (or participant) making the assignment, participation, transfer or designation of such New Lending Office would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment, participation, transfer or designation, or (ii) the obligation to pay such Additional Amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Lender (or participant) to comply with the provisions of paragraph (g)(i) or (h)

above. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Lender shall remain subject to the obligations under Section 2.18 or Section 2.19.

(j)Any Lender (or participant) claiming any indemnity payment or Additional Amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the relevant Borrower or to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if the making of such a filing or change would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such indemnity payment or Additional Amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender (or participant), be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender (or participant).[Reserved]

(k)Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agents for any Taxes (to the extent that the Company or any Borrowing Subsidiary has not already indemnified the Agents for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Company and any Borrowing Subsidiary to do so) attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by either Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this Section 2.16(k) shall be paid within 10 days after an Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by such Administrative Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error.

(l)Nothing contained in this Section 2.16 shall require any Lender (or participant) or any Administrative Agent to make available any of its tax returns (or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary).

SECTION 2.17.Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) prior to 3:00 p.m., local time at the place of payment, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of CBNA, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to CBNA at its offices at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, or such other location as CBNA shall designate from time to time, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 8.5 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. CBNA shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars or, in the case of principal of and interest on any Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency, the applicable Alternative Currency, as the case may be. Except as provided in clause (c) below, each payment or prepayment of principal or payment of interest in respect of a Borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be allocated ratably among the parties entitled thereto.

(b)If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to CBNA to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards

payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

(b)If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant. Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(c)Unless CBNA shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to CBNA for the account of the Lenders hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, CBNA may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to CBNA forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to CBNA, at the NYFRB Rate in effect from time to time.

(d)If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.6(b) or 2.17(d), then CBNA may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by CBNA for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.18.Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to file any certificate or document reasonably requested by the Company (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions), to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such filing, designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.

(b)If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then such Borrower may, upon notice to such Lender and CBNA, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 8.4), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (other than any outstanding Competitive Loans held by it

and any and all rights and interests related thereto) to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) such Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agents which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans (other than Competitive Loans), accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or such Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments.

SECTION 2.19.Borrowing Subsidiaries. The Company may designate any Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company as a Borrowing Subsidiary upon ten Business Days notice to CBNA on behalf of the Lenders (such notice to include the name, primary business address and tax identification number of such proposed Borrowing Subsidiary and any other information reasonably requested by the Administrative Agents pursuant to the Patriot Act or under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation). Upon proper notice and the receipt by CBNA of a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement executed by such a Wholly Owned Subsidiary and the Company, such Wholly Owned Subsidiary shall be a Borrowing Subsidiary and a party to this Agreement. A Subsidiary shall cease to be a Borrowing Subsidiary hereunder at such time as no Loans, fees or any other amounts due in connection therewith pursuant to the terms hereof shall be outstanding to such Subsidiary and such Subsidiary and the Company shall have executed and delivered to CBNA a Borrowing Subsidiary Termination; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Borrowing Subsidiary shall cease to be a Borrowing Subsidiary solely because it no longer is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company so long as such Borrowing Subsidiary and the Company shall not have executed and delivered to CBNA a Borrowing Subsidiary Termination and the Company’s guarantee of the Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations of such Borrowing Subsidiary pursuant to Section 8.16 has not been released. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of a Borrowing Subsidiary Termination with respect to any Borrowing Subsidiary shall not terminate (i) any obligation of such Borrower that remains unpaid at the time of such delivery (including without limitation any obligation arising thereafter in respect of such Borrowing Subsidiary under SECTION 2.15 or 2.16) or (ii) the obligations of the Company under SECTION 8.16 with respect to any such unpaid obligations. Following the giving of any notice pursuant to this Section 2.19, if the designation of a Subsidiary as a Borrowing Subsidiary obligates the Administrative Agents or any Lender to comply with “know your customer” or similar identification procedures in circumstances where the necessary information is not already available to it, the Company shall, promptly upon the request of an Administrative Agent or any Lender, supply such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by such Administrative Agent or such Lender in order for such Administrative Agent or such Lender to carry out and be satisfied it has complied with the results of all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations (including in the case of any Borrowing Subsidiary that qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation the delivery of a Beneficial Ownership Certificate with respect to such Borrowing Subsidiary).

If the Company shall designate as a Borrowing Subsidiary hereunder any Subsidiary not organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, any Lender unable to lend to such Borrowing Subsidiary due to applicable law or, regulation or such Lender’s internal policies may, with prior written notice to the Administrative Agents and the Company, fulfill its Commitment by causing an Affiliate of such Lender organized in the same jurisdiction as such Subsidiary or another foreign jurisdiction agreed to by such Lender and the Company, to act as the Lender in respect of such Borrowing Subsidiary, and such Lender shall, to the extent of Loans made to such Borrowing Subsidiary,

be deemed for all purposes hereof to have satisfied its Commitment hereunder in respect of such Borrowing Subsidiary.

As soon as practicable after receiving notice from the Company or the Administrative Agents of the Company’s intent to designate a Subsidiary as a Borrowing Subsidiary, and in any event no later than five Business Days after the delivery of such notice, for a Borrowing Subsidiary that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than of the United States or a political subdivision thereof, any Lender that may not legally lend to, establish credit for the account of and/or do any business whatsoever with such Subsidiary directly or through an Affiliate of such Lender as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph (a “Protesting Lender”) shall so notify the Company and the Administrative Agents in writing. With respect to each Protesting Lender, the Company shall, effective on or before the date that such Borrowing Subsidiary shall have the right to borrow hereunder, either (A) notify the Administrative Agents and such Protesting Lender that the Commitment of such Protesting Lender shall be terminated and replaced with the Commitments of one or more other Lenders or assignees which agree to provide such replacement Commitments (in each case selected by the Company and approved by CBNA, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld); provided that such Protesting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee(s) (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company or the relevant Borrowing Subsidiary (in the case of all other amounts), or (B) cancel its request to designate such Subsidiary as a “Borrowing Subsidiary” hereunder.

SECTION 2.21.Prepayments Required Due to Currency Fluctuation.

(a)Not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter or at such other time as is reasonably determined by CBNA (the “Calculation Time”), CBNA shall determine the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures and the aggregate Competitive Loans as of such date.

(b)If at the Calculation Time, the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure and the aggregate Competitive Loans exceeds the Commitment by 5% or more, then within five Business Days after notice thereof to the Borrower from CBNA, the Borrower shall prepay Revolving Loans (or cause any Borrowing Subsidiary to make such prepayment) in an aggregate principal amount at least equal to the lesser of (i) such excess and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans. Nothing set forth in this Section 2.20(b) shall be construed to require CBNA to calculate compliance under this Section 2.20(b) other than at the times set forth in Section 2.20(a).

SECTION 2.1.Defaulting Lenders

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a)fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(a); and

(b)the Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 8.7); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an

amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby.

No non-Defaulting Lender shall have any obligation to fund any portion of a Loan which a Defaulting Lender has failed to fund.

ARTICLE VII

The Administrative Agents

In order to expedite the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of Citibank, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. is hereby appointed to act as an Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders and CBNA is hereby appointed to act as Advance Agent on behalf of the Lenders. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorizes each Administrative Agent (which term, for purposes of this Article VII, shall be deemed to include the Advance Agent) to take such actions on behalf of such Lender or holder and to exercise such powers as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agents or an Administrative Agent individually, as the case may be, by the terms and provisions hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. CBNA is hereby expressly authorized by the Lenders, without hereby limiting any implied authority, (a) to receive on behalf of the Lenders all payments of principal of and interest on the Loans and all other amounts due to the Lenders hereunder, and promptly to distribute to each Lender its proper share of each payment so received; (b) to give notice on behalf of each of the Lenders to the Company or any Borrowing Subsidiary of any Event of Default of which CBNA has actual knowledge acquired in connection with its agency hereunder; and (c) to distribute to each Lender copies of all notices, financial statements and other materials delivered by the Company or any Borrowing Subsidiary pursuant to this Agreement as received by CBNA. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, neither Administrative Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against either Administrative Agent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, JPMCB shall have no duties under the Loan Documents in its capacity as Administrative Agent and none of the Documentation Agents, Joint Lead Arrangers or Bookrunners listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as an agent or a Lender.

Neither Administrative Agent nor any of their respective affiliates nor any of their or their respective affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors or attorneys-in-fact shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them except for its or his or her own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction), or be responsible for any statement, warranty or representation herein or in any document delivered in connection herewith or the contents of any document delivered in connection herewith, or be required to ascertain or to make any inquiry concerning the performance or observance by the Company or any Borrowing Subsidiary of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement. The Administrative Agents shall not be responsible to the Lenders for the due execution, genuineness, validity, enforceability or effectiveness of this Agreement or other instruments or agreements or for the failure of the Company or any Borrowing Subsidiary to perform its obligations under this Agreement. The Administrative Agents may deem and treat the Lender which makes any Loan as the holder of the indebtedness resulting therefrom for all purposes hereof until it shall have received notice from such Lender, given as provided herein, of the transfer thereof. The Administrative Agents shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or refraining from acting, in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders and, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, such instructions and any action or inaction pursuant thereto shall be binding on all the Lenders. The Administrative Agents shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless they shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as they deem appropriate or they shall first be indemnified to their satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all

liability and expense that may be incurred by them by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agents shall, in the absence of knowledge to the contrary, be entitled to rely on any instrument or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons. Neither Administrative Agent nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall have any responsibility to the Company or any Borrowing Subsidiary on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any Lender of any of its obligations hereunder or to any Lender on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any other Lender or the Company of any of their respective obligations hereunder or in connection herewith. The Administrative Agents may execute any and all duties hereunder by or through their Affiliates, agents, attorneys-in-fact or employees and shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel selected by them (including counsel to the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by them with respect to all matters arising hereunder and shall not be liable for any action taken or suffered in good faith by them in accordance with the advice of such counsel.

The Lenders hereby acknowledge that the Administrative Agents shall be under no duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by them pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement unless they shall be requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders.

The Administrative Agents shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agents have received notice from a Lender or the Company referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agents receive such a notice, the Administrative Agents shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agents shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agents shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agents may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

Subject, in the case of a resignation of both Administrative Agents, to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, either Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Company. Upon any such resignation of both Administrative Agents, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent acceptable to the Company. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agents give notice of their resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders and the Company (the “Resignation Effective Date”)), then the retiring Administrative Agents may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor bank, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agents and the retiring Administrative Agents shall be discharged from their duties and obligations hereunder. If only one of the Administrative Agents shall resign, the other Administrative Agent shall become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. After any Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 8.5 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

With respect to the Loans made by them hereunder, each Administrative Agent in its individual capacity and not as Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Administrative Agent, and such Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Administrative Agent.

Each Lender agrees (i) to reimburse the Administrative Agents, on demand, in the amount of its Applicable Percentage of any expenses incurred for the benefit of the Lenders by the Administrative Agents, including counsel fees and compensation of agents and employees paid for services rendered on behalf of the Lenders, which shall not have been reimbursed by the Company and (ii) to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agents and any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents, on demand, in the amount of such pro rata share, from and against any and all liabilities, taxes, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against either of them in its capacity as an Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by either of them under this Agreement to the extent the same shall not have been reimbursed by the Company; provided that no Lender shall be liable to any Administrative Agent for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Administrative Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents as determined by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective affiliates or their or their respective affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, advisors or attorneys-in-fact and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective affiliates or their or their respective affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, advisors or attorneys-in-fact 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 or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agents hereunder, the Administrative Agents shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Company or any Borrowing Subsidiary or any affiliate of the Company or any Borrowing Subsidiary that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agents or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys in fact or affiliates.

(c)(A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement; or

No assignment or transfer of any Loan (or portion thereof) or any Notepromissory note evidencing such Loan shall be effected unless and until it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this subsection 8.4(d). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any assignment or transfer of all or part of a promissory note shall be registered on the Register only upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the promissory note (and each promissory note shall expressly so provide), accompanied by a duly executed Assignment and Assumption, and thereupon one or more new promissory notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated Assigneeassignee and the old promissory notes shall be returned by CBNA to the applicable Borrower marked “cancelled”.

The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant (and any agent or professional advisor of any of the foregoing) any information relating to the Company furnished to such Lender; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant (or agent or professional advisor, if applicable) shall be subject to confidentiality provisions substantially the same as the confidentiality agreement as are the Lendersprovisions of this Agreement.

(h) The Company and any Borrowing Subsidiary shall not assign or delegate any rights and duties hereunder without the prior written consent of all Lenders.

(i) Any Lender may at any time pledge or otherwise assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central banking authority; provided that no such pledge shall release any Lender from its obligations hereunder. In order to facilitate such an assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central banking authority, the Company shall, at the

request of the assigning Lender, duly execute and deliver to the assigning Lender a promissory note or notes evidencing the Loans made by the assigning Lender hereunder.

The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any actions or proceedings in respect of this Agreement effected without the Company’s written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), but if settled with the Company’s written consent or if there is a final judgment in any such action or proceeding or if the Company was offered the ability to assume the defense of the action that was the subject matter of such settlement and elected not to assume such defense, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses by reason of such settlement in accordance with this paragraph. Any Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of the applicable Indemnitees (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any claim, litigation,

investigation or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability, or a failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnitee.

(c)Neither an Indemnitee nor the Company shall be liable to the Company or any Indemnitee in connection with its activities related to the Loan Documents or in connection with any suit, action or proceeding (x) for any damages arising from the use by unauthorized Persons of information or materials sent through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems that are intercepted by such persons (except to the extent arising from the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee or the Company, as applicable) or (y) for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages; provided this clause (y) shall not affect or limit the Company’s indemnity obligations set forth in paragraph (b) above. In the case of any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 8.5 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Company or its equity holders or creditors or any Indemnitee, subject to the limitations and exclusions set forth in this paragraph and paragraph (b) above.

(d)The provisions of this Section shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of any Administrative Agent or any Lender.

SECTION 8.7.Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of any Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agents and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.

Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Company after such setoff and application made by such Lender, but the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 8.13.Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. Each of the Company, each Borrowing Subsidiary and each Credit Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federalfederal court

of the United States of America sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding mayshall be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federalfederal court.

SECTION 8.15.Conversion of Currencies. (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b)The obligations of each Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction 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 Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 8.15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

SECTION 8.16.Guaranty. In order to induce the Lenders to make Loans to the applicable Borrowing Subsidiaries, the Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees the

Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations of all the Borrowing Subsidiaries. The Company further agrees that the Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations may be extended and renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its agreement hereunder notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Borrowing Subsidiary Obligation.

The Company waives promptness, diligence, presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Borrowing Subsidiaries of any Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its obligations and notice of protest for nonpayment. The obligations of the Company hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional and not be affected by (a) the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agents to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Borrowing Subsidiaries under the provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise; (b) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Documents or any other agreement; (c) the failure of any Lender to exercise any right or remedy against any Borrowing Subsidiaries; (d) the invalidity or unenforceability of any Loan Document; (e) any change in the corporate existence or structure of any Borrowing Subsidiary; (f) any claims or rights of set off that may be claimed by the Company; (g) any law, regulation, decree or order of any jurisdiction or any event affecting any term of any Borrowing Subsidiary Obligation; or (h) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to or discharge of the BorrowerCompany or a guarantor (other than payment).

The Company further agrees that its agreement hereunder constitutes a promise of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Lender to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Lender in favor of any Borrowing Subsidiary or any other Person.

The obligations of the Company hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever, by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Company hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Administrative Agents or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification in respect of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations, or by any other act or omission which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Company or otherwise operate as a discharge of the Company as a matter of law or equity.

The Company further agrees that its obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Borrowing Subsidiary Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agents or any Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any of the Borrowing Subsidiaries or otherwise.

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which the Administrative Agents or any Lender may have at law or in equity against the Company by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any Borrowing Subsidiary to pay any Borrowing Subsidiary Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, the Company hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by CBNA, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash the amount of such unpaid Borrowing Subsidiary Obligation. In the event that, by reason of the bankruptcy of any Borrowing Subsidiary, (i) acceleration of Loans made to such Borrowing Subsidiary is prevented and (ii) the Company shall not have prepaid the outstanding Loans

and other amounts due hereunder owed by such Borrowing Subsidiary, the Company will forthwith purchase such Loans at a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest thereon and any other amounts due hereunder with respect thereto. The Company further agrees that if payment in respect of any Borrowing Subsidiary Obligation shall be due in a currency other than Dollars and/or at a place of payment other than New York and if, by reason of any Change in Law, disruption of currency or foreign exchange markets, war or civil disturbance or similar event, payment of such Borrowing Subsidiary Obligation in such currency or such place of payment shall be impossible or, in the judgment of any applicable Lender, not consistent with the protection of its rights or interests, then, at the election of any applicable Lender, the Company shall make payment of such Borrowing Subsidiary Obligation in Dollars (based upon the applicable Exchange Rate in effect on the date of payment) and/or in New York, and shall indemnify such Lender against any losses or expenses that it shall sustain as a result of such alternative payment.

Upon payment by the Company of any Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations, each Lender shall, in a reasonable manner, assign the amount of the Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations owed to it and paid by the Company pursuant to this guarantee to the Company, such assignment to be pro tanto to the extent to which the Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations in question were discharged by the Company, or make such disposition thereof as the Company shall direct (all without recourse to any Lender and without any representation or warranty by any Lender except with respect to the amount of the Borrowing Subsidiary Obligations so assigned).
