All such limitations, tests and measurements are cumulative and will be performed in accordance with their respective terms.

(e) No Construction Against Any Party. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are the result of negotiations among, and have been reviewed by counsel to, the Loan Parties, Administrative Agent and the Lending Parties and are the products of all parties. Accordingly, they will not be construed against Administrative Agent or any Lending Party merely because of the involvement of any or all of the preceding Persons in their preparation.

(f) Paid in Full.

(g) GAAP. Unless the context otherwise clearly requires, all accounting terms not expressly defined herein will be construed, and all financial computations required under this Agreement will be made, in accordance with GAAP. If at any time any change in GAAP or any changes in accounting principles or practices from those used in the preparation of the financial statements are hereafter occasioned by the promulgation of rules, regulations, pronouncements and opinions by or required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (or any successor thereto or agencies with similar functions) or other regulatory body with jurisdiction over GAAP or any financial reporting by the Parent, which results in a material change in the method of accounting in the financial

statements required to be furnished to the Administrative Agent hereunder or in the calculation of financial covenants, standards or terms contained in this Agreement, and either the Borrowers or Required Lenders will so request, Administrative Agent, the Lending Parties and the Borrowers will negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of Required Lenders); provided that, until so amended: (i) such ratio or requirement will continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein; and (ii) the Borrowers will provide to Administrative Agent and the Lending Parties financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP.

(h) Rounding. Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Loan Parties or any of them pursuant to the Loan Documents will be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number using the common - or symmetric arithmetic - method of rounding (in other words, rounding-up if there is no nearest number).

(i) Computations of Certain Financial Covenants. For purposes of computing the Consolidated Leverage Ratio and the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage as of any date, all components of such ratios will include or exclude, as the case may be, for the period consisting of the four Fiscal Periods ending on such date all financial results (without duplication of amounts) attributable to any business or assets that are the subject of any Acquisition or Disposition by the Parent or any Subsidiary thereof effected during such period, as determined by Administrative Borrower in its Reasonable Discretion and consented to by the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) on a pro forma basis for such period as if such Acquisition or Disposition had occurred (and any Indebtedness incurred or repaid in connection therewith had been incurred and repaid, as the case may be) on (in the case of any balance sheet item) the last day of such period or on (in the case of any other item) the first day of such period. Furthermore, for the purposes of computing the Consolidated Leverage Ratio and the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage as of any date, to the extent that any Joint Venture is included in the Parent’s Consolidated financial statements, such calculations will disregard the ratable portion of such Joint Venture attributable to the ownership of any Joint Venture by any Person who is not a Loan Party or a Subsidiary of a Loan Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining compliance with any covenant (including the computation of any financial covenant) contained herein, Indebtedness of the Parent and its Subsidiaries will be deemed to be carried at 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof.

(j) Calculations with Respect to Credit. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Credit at any time will be deemed to be the stated amount of such Credit in effect at such time; provided that, with respect to any Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Credit will be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

(k) Documents Executed by Responsible Officers. Any document delivered hereunder that is signed by a Responsible Officer of a Loan Party will be conclusively presumed to have been authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action on the part of such Loan Party and such Responsible Officer will be conclusively presumed to have acted on behalf of such Loan Party.

(l) Additional Alternative Currencies. The Borrowers may from time to time request that Loans be made and Credits be issued in a currency other than those specifically listed in the definition of “Alternative Currency”; provided that such requested currency is a lawful currency (other than Dollars) that is readily available and freely transferable and convertible into Dollars. Each such request will be subject to the prior approval of all Lenders; provided, however, to the extent such request relates solely to Letters of Credit, subject only to the prior approval of the applicable L/C Issuer. Any such request will be made to Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., ten Business Days prior to the desired date for making the requested Loan or desired issuance date of the requested Credit, as applicable. Administrative Agent will notify the Administrative Borrower, not later than 9:00 a.m., five Business Days after receipt of such request whether the Lenders have consented, in their sole discretion, to the making of the requested Loan or the issuance of the requested Credit, as applicable, in such requested currency. Any failure by Administrative Agent to respond to such request within the time period specified in the preceding sentence will be deemed to be a refusal by the Lenders to permit such Loan to be made or such Credit to be issued in such requested currency. If the Lenders consent to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Credit, as applicable, in such requested currency (an “Additional Alternative Currency”), such Additional Alternative Currency will thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of such Loan or Credit.

(m) Exchange Rates. (i) Administrative Agent will determine the Spot Rates as of each Revaluation Date to be used for calculating the Dollar Equivalent of Loans and other Obligations and (ii) Administrative Agent or the applicable L/C Issuer will determine the Spot Rates as of each Revaluation Date to be used for calculating the Dollar Equivalent of issued and undrawn Credits, in each case outstanding hereunder denominated in Alternative Currencies. Such Spot Rates will become effective as of such Revaluation Date and will be the Spot Rates employed in converting any amounts between the applicable currencies until the next Revaluation Date to occur. Except for purposes of the audited and unaudited financial statements to be prepared and delivered by the Parent pursuant to Section 6.01(a) and Section 6.01(b) or the calculation of financial covenants hereunder, including pursuant to Section 7.14 (Financial Covenants) or except as otherwise provided herein, the applicable amount of any currency for purposes of the Loan Documents will be such Dollar Equivalent as so determined by Administrative Agent.

(n) Redenomination of Certain Foreign Currencies; New Currency.

(i) Each obligation of the Borrowers to make a payment denominated in the National Currency Unit of any member state of the European Union that adopts the Euro as its lawful currency after the date hereof will be redenominated into Euro at the time of such adoption (in accordance with the EMU Legislation). If, in relation to the currency of any such member state, the basis of accrual of interest expressed in this Agreement in respect of that

currency will be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the London interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis will be replaced by such convention or practice with effect from the date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency; provided that if any Loan denominated in the currency of such member state is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement will take effect, with respect to such Loan, at the end of the then current Interest Period.

(ii) If, after the making of any Loan or the issuance of any Credit, as applicable, in any Alternative Currency, currency control or exchange regulations are imposed in the country which issues such Alternative Currency with the result that different types of such Alternative Currency (the “New Currency”) are introduced and the type of currency in which the Loan was made or the Credit was issued (the “Original Currency”) no longer exists or the Borrowers are not able to make payment to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lending Parties or Administrative Agent in such Original Currency, then all payments to be made by the Borrowers hereunder in such currency will be made to Administrative Agent in such amount and such type of the New Currency as will be equivalent to the amount of such payment otherwise due hereunder in the Original Currency, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the Borrowers take all risks of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulations. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.02(n), if, after the making of any Loan or the issuance of any Credit, as applicable, in any Alternative Currency, the Borrowers are not able to make payment to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or Administrative Agent in the type of currency in which such Loan was made or such Credit was issued because of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulation, then such Loan will instead be repaid or such Credit will be reimbursed, as applicable, when due in Dollars in a principal amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent (as of the date of repayment) of such Loan or Credit reimbursement amount.

(o) Currency of Account. Dollars are the currency of account and payment for each and every sum at any time due from the Borrowers hereunder in each case except as expressly provided in this Agreement; provided that, subject to Section 1.02(n):

(i) each repayment of a Loan or a part thereof will be made in the currency in which such Loan is denominated at the time of that repayment;

(ii) each payment of interest will be made in the currency in which such principal or other sum in respect of which such interest is payable, is denominated;

(iii) each reimbursement of a draw on a Credit will be made (A) to the extent reimbursed by a payment from the Borrowers, at the option of the L/C Issuer, in the currency in which such Credit is denominated at the time of that reimbursement or in Dollars and (B) to the extent reimbursed by Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances pursuant to Sections 2.04(c)(ii) or (iii) (as applicable), in Dollars;

(iv) each payment of fees will be in Dollars;

(v) each payment in respect of costs, expenses and indemnities will be made in the currency in which the same were incurred or the Dollar Equivalent thereof; and

(vi) any amount expressed to be payable in a currency other than Dollars will be paid in that other currency.

No payment to Administrative Agent or any Lending Party (whether under any judgment or court order or otherwise) will discharge the obligation or liability in respect of which it was made unless and until Administrative Agent or such Lending Party will have received payment in full in the currency in which such obligation or liability was incurred, and to the extent that the amount of any such payment will, on actual conversion into such currency, fall short of such obligation or liability actual or contingent expressed in that currency, the Borrowers agree to indemnify and hold harmless Administrative Agent or such Lending Party, as applicable, with respect to the amount of the shortfall, with such indemnity surviving the termination of this Agreement and any legal proceeding, judgment or court order pursuant to which the original payment was made which resulted in the shortfall.

(p) Currency Fluctuations. If, on any Revaluation Date the Dollar Equivalent of the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments at such time for three or more consecutive Business Days, then the Borrowers will repay or prepay the relevant Loans in accordance with this Agreement within five Business Days from such third consecutive Business Day (or on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, as applicable) in an aggregate principal amount such that, after giving effect thereto, the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings (expressed in Dollars) no longer exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments (expressed in Dollars).

ARTICLE II
CREDIT EXTENSIONS

SECTION 2.01. THE ORIGINAL CREDIT AGREEMENT.

(a) Schedule 2.01 sets forth all outstanding amounts of principal Indebtedness in respect of Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans (each as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) and all issued and undrawn, or drawn and unreimbursed, Letters of Credit (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) for each Existing Lender (the “Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount”). There are no Swing Line Loans (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) outstanding under the Original Credit Agreement as of the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Original Credit Agreement, in order to effect the restructuring of the credit facility provided thereunder as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) all Loans (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement), whether Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans (each as defined in the Original Credit Agreement), will be deemed Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, respectively (as applicable), on the Closing Date in accordance with this Agreement, including this Section 2.01, (b) all “Letters of Credit” under and as defined in the Original Credit Agreement will be deemed Letters of Credit in accordance with this Agreement, including this Section 2.01, and (iii) all accrued and unpaid interest, including all accrued and unpaid interest on the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount, and all accrued and incurred and unpaid fees, costs and expenses payable under the Original Credit Agreement, including all accrued and unpaid unused line fees under Section 3.3.1 of the Original Credit Agreement and letter of credit fees under Section 3.3.2 of the Original Credit Agreement, all applicable breakage fees under Section 3.2.4 of the Original

Credit Agreement incurred in connection with the termination of the Interest Periods (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) in respect of all outstanding LIBOR Loans (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) on the Closing Date, regardless of whether such date is the last day of the applicable Interest Period (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement), and all fees and expenses outstanding under Section 12.1 or Section 12.2 of the Original Credit Agreement and other similar costs and expenses, will be due and payable on the Closing Date. The rates of interest chargeable on Loans (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) outstanding as of the Closing Date will remain in effect through the day immediately preceding the Closing Date. The Borrowers covenant and agree that they will not, and represent and warrant that they have not, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, requested any further Loans (including any Swing Line Loans) or requested the issuance of any additional Letters of Credit under (and as such terms are defined in) the Original Credit Agreement.

(b) On the Closing Date and the satisfaction of all conditions as set forth in Section 4.01, each Existing Lender’s portion of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount will be deemed to continue hereunder as a Base Rate Loan and will be applied to such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, comprising the applicable portion of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment to be funded on the Closing Date. Such continuing Base Rate Loans will be subject to the same terms and conditions as if advanced initially as Base Rate Loans comprising Loans hereunder. Commencing with the Closing Date, the rates of interest chargeable on Loans (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) outstanding as of the Closing Date will be chargeable at the respective rates and will be payable in the manner set forth in Section 2.09. Issued Letters of Credit (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) undrawn or drawn but as yet unreimbursed as of the Closing Date will be deemed to constitute Letters of Credit issued hereunder in the same manner and subject to the same terms and conditions as if issued initially as Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.04 and each Existing Lender’s purchase of a participation in each such Letter of Credit (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) pursuant to Section 2.4.4 of the Original Credit Agreement will be deemed automatically terminated and immediately replaced thereupon by the purchase by each Lender of a participation in each such Letter of Credit or any unreimbursed drawings on any such Letter of Credit on a pro rata basis based on such Lender’s Percentage Share, pursuant to Section 2.04(c).

(c) On the Closing Date, immediately following the transactions contemplated by the foregoing Sections 2.01(a) and (b), the Original Credit Agreement and each Subsidiary Guaranty (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) will be amended, restated, superseded and replaced in its entirety; provided that nothing herein will act as a novation of the indebtedness, liabilities and other obligations (including any obligations under each Subsidiary Guaranty) thereunder.

SECTION 2.02. REVOLVING CREDIT LOANS; TERM LOANS.

(a) Revolving Credit Loans. Upon the terms, subject to the conditions and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Borrowers and each other Loan Party set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents, each Lender having a Revolving Credit Commitment severally (but not jointly) agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Revolving Credit Loan”) of immediately available funds to the Borrowers, on a revolving basis from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal

amount outstanding not to exceed at any time such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment as then in effect, provided that, and notwithstanding the foregoing, after giving effect to any Revolving Credit Borrowing, (i) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings will not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments and (ii) the sum of (1) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender plus (2) such Lender’s Percentage Share multiplied by the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations plus (3) such Lender’s Percentage Share multiplied by the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans will not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and so long as any such circumstance exists the Lenders will not be obligated to fund any Revolving Credit Loans. Each Revolving Credit Loan will be denominated in Dollars or in an Alternative Currency as permitted by this Agreement and no Lender will be obligated to make any Revolving Credit Loan if the requested Revolving Credit Loan is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars or an Alternative Currency as permitted under this Agreement. Within the limits of each Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.02, prepay under Section 2.06, and reborrow under this Section 2.02. Revolving Credit Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein. All Revolving Credit Loans to be denominated in an Alternative Currency will be Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(b) Loans Generally. Each Loan will be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their applicable Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan will not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender will be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender).

SECTION 2.03. PROCEDURES FOR BORROWING.

(a) Notices of Borrowing, Conversion and Continuation. Each Borrowing (other than a Swing Line Borrowing), each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans will be made upon the Administrative Borrowers’ irrevocable notice, on behalf of the Borrowers, to Administrative Agent, which may, subject to the provisions of Section 10.02(b) and Section 10.02(d), be given by telephone or by approved electronic communication. Each such notice must be received by Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing (other than a Swing Line Borrowing) of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans and (ii) one Business Day prior to the requested date of any Borrowing (other than a Swing Line Borrowing) of Base Rate Loans; provided that in the case of any requested Eurodollar Rate Loan to be denominated in an Alternative Currency, such notice, subject to Section 1.02(l), must be received by Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time), five Business Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the provisions of Section 10.02(b) and Section 10.02(d), any telephonic notice or other electronic communication by the Administrative Borrower, on behalf of the Borrowers, pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) may be given by an individual who has been authorized in writing to do so by an appropriate Responsible Officer of the Administrative Borrower. Each such telephonic notice or other electronic communication must be confirmed promptly by delivery to

Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by an appropriate Responsible Officer of the Administrative Borrower. Further, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, including this Section 2.03(a), the Lenders will have no obligation to make, convert or continue make any Eurodollar Rate Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency to the extent the principal amount of such requested Eurodollar Rate Loan exceeds the Alternative Currency Available Credit as of the date of the requested Borrowing, conversion or continuation.

(b) Amount of Borrowing, Conversion or Continuation. (i) Each Borrowing (other than a Swing Line Borrowing) of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans will be in a principal amount of $2,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, or, in the case of a Borrower denominated in an Alternative Currency, in a principal amount of a Dollar Equivalent of $2,000,000 or a whole multiple of a Dollar Equivalent of $500,000 in excess thereof and (ii) except as provided in Sections 2.04(c) and Section 2.05(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans will be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.

(c) Loan Notices Generally. Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written (including by electronic communication to the extent permitted by this Agreement)) will specify: (i) whether the Administrative Borrower, on behalf of the Borrowers, is requesting: (A) a Revolving Credit Borrowing; (B) a conversion of outstanding Loans from one Type to the other; or (C) a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans; (ii) the requested date (which will be a Business Day) of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be; (iii) the principal amount of the Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued; (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted; (v) whether such Borrowing is to be denominated in Dollars or in an Alternative Currency, and if the latter, which Alternative Currency; and (vi) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrowers (including through the Administrative Borrower) fail to specify a Type of Loan in a Loan Notice or fail to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans will be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans will be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Administrative Borrower, on behalf of the Borrowers, requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.

(d) Procedures Concerning the Making of Loans. Following receipt of a Loan Notice, Administrative Agent will promptly notify each applicable Lender of the amount of its applicable Percentage Share of the requested Borrowing. If the Borrowers (including through the Administrative Borrower) do not timely provide notice of a conversion or continuation, then Administrative Agent will notify each applicable Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in the preceding subsection. Each Lender will make the amount of its applicable Loan available to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at Administrative Agent’s Office (or, at the request of Administrative Agent, in the case of a Eurodollar Rate denominated in an Alternative Currency, at such bank as Administrative Agent may designate to the Lenders, as applicable) not later than 10:00 a.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth

in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), Administrative Agent will make all funds so received available to the Borrowers in like funds as received by Administrative Agent either by: (i) crediting the account of the Borrowers on the books of Xxxxx Fargo with the amount of such funds; or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) Administrative Agent by the Administrative Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers; provided that, if, on the date the Loan Notice with respect to such Borrowing is given by the Borrowers, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing will be applied, first, to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings and, second, to the Borrowers as provided in this Section 2.03(d).

(e) Special Provisions Applicable to Continuation or Conversions of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Subject to Section 3.05, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of an Event of Default: (i) no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of Required Lenders; and (ii) Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Revolving Credit Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans be converted immediately to Base Rate Loans, whereupon the Borrowers will pay any amounts due under Section 3.05 in accordance with the terms thereof due to any such conversion.

(f) Notification of Interest Rate. Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Administrative Borrower, on behalf of the Borrowers, and the applicable Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate.

(g) Limitation on Interest Periods. After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there will (i) not be more than ten Interest Periods in effect with respect to all Revolving Credit Loans and (ii) of this, not be more than five Interest Periods in effect with respect to all Eurodollar Rate Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency.

SECTION 2.04. LETTERS OF CREDIT.

(a) Letter of Credit Subfacility. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein:

(i) Upon the terms, subject to the conditions and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Borrowers and each of the other Loan Parties set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents and upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, (A) from time to time on any Business Day, during the period from the Closing Date until the L/C Expiration Date, L/C Issuer will issue Credits, in the form of Letters of Credit or Bank Undertakings denominated in Dollars or in an Alternative Currency in accordance with this Agreement, in each case for the account of the Borrowers for the benefit of any one or more Borrowers (or other Subsidiaries as any Borrower (through the Administrative Borrower) may designate; provided that in the case of Credits designated for a Subsidiary, such Borrower retains financial responsibility for such Credit) and amend or extend Credits previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section 2.04; and (B) to honor drawings

(ii) Each Lender severally agrees to participate in each Letter of Credit issued by an L/C Issuer and each drawing thereunder; provided that, after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Credit, (A) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings will not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments; (B) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender, plus an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage Share multiplied by the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage Share multiplied by the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans will not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; and (C) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations will not exceed the L/C Sublimit. Each request by the Administrative Borrower, on behalf of the Borrowers, for the issuance or amendment of a Credit will be deemed to be a representation by the Borrowers that each such issuance or amendment complies with the applicable conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers’ ability to obtain Credits will be fully revolving, and, accordingly, the Borrowers may, during the foregoing period, obtain Credits to replace Credits that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

(iii) Subject to Section 2.04(b)(iv), no L/C Issuer will issue or extend any Credit if: (A) the expiry date of such requested Credit would occur after the L/C Expiration Date, unless all Lenders will have approved such expiry date; or (B) to the extent that the face amount of such requested Credit exceeds the Alternative Currency Available Credit as of the requested issuance date.

(iv) No L/C Issuer will have any obligation to issue a Letter of Credit if:

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator will by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer will prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit or Bank Undertakings generally or such Credit in particular or will impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or will impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the L/C Issuer in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it;

(B) the issuance of such Credit would violate one or more policies of the L/C Issuer;

(C) such Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars or an Alternative Currency permitted in accordance with this Agreement;

(D) any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrowers or such Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 3.07(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Credit then proposed to be issued or that Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which the L/C Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion;

(E) such Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder; or

(F) the issuance of such Credit would result in the aggregate L/C Obligations relating to Credits issued by such L/C Issuer exceeding such L/C Issuer’s Issuer Sublimit.

(v) No L/C Issuer will have any obligation to amend any Credit if the L/C Issuer would not be obligated to issue such Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof or if the beneficiary of such Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Credit.

(vi) Each L/C Issuer will act on behalf of all Lenders with respect to any Credits issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer will have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to Administrative Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Credits issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Credits as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article IX included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.

(vii) No L/C Issuer (other than Xxxxx Fargo) will have any obligation to issue commercial Letters of Credit.

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Credits; Automatic Extensions of Letters of Credit.

(i) Each Credit will be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Administrative Borrower, on behalf of the Borrowers, delivered to the applicable designated L/C Issuer (with a copy to Administrative Agent) in the form of an L/C Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Administrative Borrower. Such L/C Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as may be agreed to by each of Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, each in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Credit, such L/C Application will specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Credit (which will be a Business Day), (B) the amount thereof, (C) the expiry date thereof, (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder, (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder, (G) the requested Alternative Currency, if not in Dollars and (H)

such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Credit, such L/C Application will specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (1) the Credit to be amended, (2) the proposed date of the amendment thereof (which will be a Business Day), (3) the nature of the proposed amendment and (4) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. Additionally, the Administrative Borrower, on behalf of the Borrowers, will furnish to the L/C Issuer and Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or Administrative Agent may require.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any L/C Application at the address provided pursuant to Section 10.02 for receiving L/C Applications and related correspondence, the applicable designated L/C Issuer will confirm with Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that Administrative Agent has received a copy of such L/C Application from the Administrative Borrower, on behalf of the Borrowers, and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide Administrative Agent with a copy thereof (provided that such confirmation will not be required if the L/C Issuer and Administrative Agent are the same Person). Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, Administrative Agent or any Loan Party at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Credit that one or more applicable conditions in Article IV will not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer will, on the requested date, issue the Credit requested by the Administrative Borrower, on behalf of the Borrowers, or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.

Immediately upon the issuance of each Credit, each Lender will be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Credit equal to such Lender’s Percentage Share multiplied by the face amount of such Credit.

(iii) Promptly after its delivery of any Credit or any amendment to a Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable designated L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Administrative Borrower, on behalf of the Borrowers, and Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Credit or amendment.

(iv) If the Administrative Borrower, on behalf of the Borrowers, specifically requests in any applicable L/C Application, the applicable designated L/C Issuer may issue an Automatic Extension Letter of Credit. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrowers will not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Automatic Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders will be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Automatic Extension Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the L/C Expiration Date; provided that the L/C Issuer will not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Automatic Extension Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.04(a) or otherwise), or (B) the L/C Issuer has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is thirty days before any date provided for in such Automatic Extension Letter of Credit as the last day by

which notice of the non-extension thereof must be given (1) from Administrative Agent that Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension, or (2) from Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Administrative Borrower, on behalf of the Borrowers, that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Credit of any drawing under such Credit (or any notice thereof), the applicable designated L/C Issuer will notify the Administrative Borrower, on behalf of the Borrowers, and Administrative Agent thereof. If the L/C Issuer will make any payment in respect of a Credit, the Borrowers will reimburse the L/C Issuer the amount of such payment not later than 1:00 p.m. on the related Honor Date if the Administrative Borrower will have received notice, on behalf of the Borrowers, of such payment prior to 11:00 a.m. on the Honor Date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Administrative Borrower prior to such time on such Honor Date, then not later than 10:00 a.m. on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Administrative Borrower receives such notice. If the Borrowers fail to so reimburse the L/C Issuer, then Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of the related Honor Date, the Unreimbursed Amount and the amount of such Lender’s Percentage Share of such Unreimbursed Amount. In such event, the Borrowers will be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on such Honor Date in an amount equal to such Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.03 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.04(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation will not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Each Lender will, upon receipt of any notice pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i), make funds available (and Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the applicable designated L/C Issuer at Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage Share multiplied by the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.04(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available will be deemed to have made a Revolving Credit Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to the Borrowers in such amount on the Honor Date. Administrative Agent will remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Credit Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(ii), whether because each of the conditions (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice) set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or otherwise, the Borrowers will be deemed to have incurred from the applicable designated L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing on the Honor Date in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing will be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and will bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Lender’s payment to

Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(ii) will be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and will constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.04.

(iv) Until each Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) to reimburse the applicable designated L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Credit, interest in respect of the amount of such Lender’s Percentage Share of such amount will be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.

(v) Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse each L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under all Credits issued by it, as contemplated by this Section 2.04(c), will be absolute and unconditional and will not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Administrative Borrower, on behalf of the Borrowers, of a Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance will relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse each L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Lender fails to make available to Administrative Agent for the account of any L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, the L/C Issuer will be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. A certificate of L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) will be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) If, at any time after any applicable designated L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.04(c), Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrowers or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by Administrative Agent), Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender an amount that equals its Percentage Share thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by Administrative Agent for the account of any L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender will pay to Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer an amount equal to its Percentage Share thereof on the demand of Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of Lenders under this clause will survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse each L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Credit issued by such L/C Issuer and to repay each L/C Borrowing is absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrowers, or any of them, or any other Loan Party may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between the Borrowers or any other Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries and the beneficiary for which any Credit was procured);

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

(iv) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Credit;

(v) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Credit;

(vi) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Borrowers, individually or taken as a whole, any other Loan Party, or any of its or their Subsidiaries;

(vii) the fact that a Default or Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing;

(viii) any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any

transferee of such Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law;

(ix) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to the Borrowers or in the relevant currency markets generally; or

(x) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrowers, or any of them, or any other Loan Party.

The Administrative Borrower will promptly examine a copy of each Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and will notify the applicable designated L/C Issuer in writing of any claim of noncompliance with the Administrative Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity. Each Borrower will be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such Borrower (or the Administrative Borrower on behalf of such Borrower) will have given written notice thereof to the L/C Issuer within three Business Days of the L/C issuer’s delivery to Administrative Borrower of a copy of the Credit or amendment thereto, as applicable.

(f) Role of L/C Issuers. Each Lender and the Borrowers agree that, in paying any drawing under a Credit, no L/C Issuer will have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by any Credit issued, or requested to be issued, by it) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. Neither any L/C Issuer, nor Administrative Agent any of their respective Related Parties and any correspondent, participant or assignee of any L/C Issuer will be liable to any Lender for: (i) any action taken or not taken, at the request or with the approval of Lenders or Required Lenders, as applicable, in connection with a Letter of Credit or any Issuer Document; (ii) in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct of any L/C Issuer under the circumstances in question, as determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, any action taken or not taken in connection with a Credit or any Issuer Document; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. As between the Borrowers and any L/C Issuer, the Borrowers hereby assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Credit issued by such L/C Issuer; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and will not, preclude the Borrowers from pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. Neither any L/C Issuer, nor Administrative Agent or any of their respective Related Parties or any correspondent, participant or assignee of any L/C Issuer will be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.04(e); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in such clauses, the Borrowers may have a claim against a L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrowers, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrowers that the Borrowers prove were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Credit issued by it after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Credit, as determined by a

court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, a L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and no L/C Issuer will be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any document transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, that may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(g) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable designated L/C Issuer and the Administrative Borrower, on behalf of the Borrowers, when a Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an existing Credit listed on Schedule 2.01), (i) the rules of the ISP and Article 5 of the UCC will apply to each Credit (other than commercial Credits); provided that in the event of a conflict between applicable provisions of the ISP and Article 5 of the UCC, the ISP will govern and (ii) the rules of the UCP and Article 5 of the UCC will apply to each commercial Credit, provided that in the event of a conflict between applicable provisions of the UCP and Article 5 of the UCC, the UCP will govern.

(h) L/C Fees. The Borrowers will pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Percentage Share a fee (the “L/C Fee”) equal to (i) for each Credit (other than Performance Credits and commercial Credits), the Applicable Rate corresponding to Eurodollar Rate Loans multiplied by the actual daily amount available to be drawn under such Credit, (ii) for each Performance Credit, 66% multiplied by the Applicable Rate corresponding to Eurodollar Rate Loans multiplied by the actual daily amount available to be drawn under such Credit and (iii) for each commercial Credit, 0.25% per annum multiplied by the actual daily amount available to be drawn under such commercial Credit; provided, however, any L/C Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the applicable designated L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.04 will be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Percentage Share allocable to such Credit pursuant to Section 3.07(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the L/C Issuer for its own account. For purposes of computing the actual daily amount available to be drawn under all Credit, the amount of each Credit will be determined in accordance with Section 1.02(j). L/C Fees will be: (i) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears; and (ii) due and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (in each case for the calendar quarter then ending), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Credit, on the L/C Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, then the actual daily amount available to be drawn under all Letters of Credit will be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while any Event of Default exists, upon written notice to the Administrative Borrower, on behalf of the Borrowers, from Required Lenders, all L/C Fees will accrue at the Default Rate.

(i) Fees of L/C Issuers. The Borrowers will pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account an issuance fee equal to (i) 0.125% of the face amount of each Credit (other than commercial Credits) and (ii) 0.25% of the face amount of each commercial Credit issued by L/C

Issuer under this Section 2.04, which issuance fee will be due and payable upon issuance of each applicable Letter of Credit. In addition, the Borrowers will pay each L/C Issuer for its own account the L/C Issuer’s customary documentation fees, including in respect of any amendments, transfers, modifications, extensions, renewals and draws, as applicable, of or on each Credit issued by the L/C Issuer under this Section 2.04.

(j) Conflict with Issuer Documents. If a conflict exists between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof will control.

SECTION 2.05. SWING LINE LOANS.

(a) The Swing Line. Upon the terms, subject to the conditions and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Borrowers and each of the other Loan Parties set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents and upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section 2.05, Swing Line Lender may in its sole discretion make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) in immediately available funds denominated in Dollars to the Borrowers on a revolving basis from time to time on any Business Day from the Closing Date through the tenth Business Day immediately preceding the last day of the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Percentage Share of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that, after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan: (i) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings will not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments; and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender (other than Swing Line Lender in such capacity), plus such Lender’s Percentage Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such other Lender’s Percentage Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans will not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. Each Swing Line Loan will be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender will be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage Share multiplied by the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

(b) Swing Line Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing will be made upon the Administrative Borrower’s irrevocable notice, on behalf of the Borrowers, to Swing Line Lender and Administrative Agent, which may, subject to the provisions of Section 10.02(b) and Section 10.02(d), be given by telephone or by approved electronic communication. Each such notice must be received by Swing Line Lender and Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and must specify: (i) the amount to be borrowed, which will be a minimum of $500,000; and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which must be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice or notice by electronic communication must be confirmed promptly by delivery to Swing Line Lender and Administrative Agent of a separate written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Administrative Borrower. Promptly after receipt by Swing Line Lender of any telephonic or electronic communication Swing Line Loan Notice, Swing Line Lender will confirm with Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing, including by electronic communication) that

Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, Swing Line Lender will notify Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless (A) the Swing Line has been terminated or suspended by Swing Line Lender as provided in this Agreement, including Section 2.05(a), (B) Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing, including by electronic communication) from Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (1) directing Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.05(a), or (2) that at least one of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, or (C) any Lender is then in default of its obligations to fund under Section 2.05(c)(i) or is otherwise a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless cash collateral or other credit support satisfactory to Swing Line Lender has been pledged or otherwise provided to Swing Line Lender in respect of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in such Swing Line Borrowing or Swing Line Lender has otherwise entered into arrangements satisfactory to Swing Line Lender to eliminate Swing Line Lender’s risk with respect to such Defaulting Lender, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in the related Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrowers at its office by crediting the account of the Borrowers on the books of Swing Line Lender in immediately available funds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Swing Line Lender will not be obligated to make a Swing Line Loan to refinance an outstanding Swing Line Loan. Lenders agree that Swing Line Lender may agree to modify the borrowing procedures used in connection with the Swing Line in its discretion and without affecting any of the obligations of Lenders hereunder other than notifying Administrative Agent of a Swing Line Loan Notice.

(c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

(i) Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrowers (which hereby irrevocably authorizes Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Lender make a Revolving Credit Loan that is a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage Share of the then aggregate Outstanding Amount of Swing Line Loans. Such request will be made in writing (which written request will be deemed to be a Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.03, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. Swing Line Lender will furnish the Administrative Borrower, on behalf of the Borrowers, with a copy of the applicable Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to Administrative Agent. Each Lender will make an amount equal to its Percentage Share multiplied by the aggregate amount of the requested Revolving Credit Loans specified in such Loan Notice available to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds (and Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of Swing Line Lender at Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.05(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes funds available will be deemed to have made a Revolving Credit Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to the Borrowers in such amount. Administrative Agent will promptly remit the funds so received to Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If for any reason the outstanding amount of all Swing Line Loans cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Credit Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.05(c)(i), then the request for Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans submitted by Swing Line Lender as set forth herein will be deemed to be a request by Swing Line Lender that each Lender fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s payment to Administrative Agent for the account of Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(i) will be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(iii) If any Lender fails to make available to Administrative Agent for the account of Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05(c) by the time specified in Section 2.05(c)(i), Swing Line Lender will be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. A certificate of Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) will be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) will be absolute and unconditional and will not be affected by any circumstance, including: (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against Swing Line Lender, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default; or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk participations will relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to repay Swing Line Loans together with interest as provided herein.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) If, at any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, then Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender an amount equal to its Percentage Share multiplied by such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender will pay to Swing Line Lender an amount equal to its Percentage Share multiplied by the amount to be returned on demand of Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such

amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of Swing Line Lender. The obligations of Lenders under this clause will survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. Swing Line Lender will be responsible for invoicing the Borrowers for interest on Swing Line Loans. Until each Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loan that is a Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.05 to refinance such Lender’s Percentage Share of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such proportionate share will be solely for the account of Swing Line Lender.

(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrowers will make all payments of principal and interest in respect of Swing Line Loans directly to Swing Line Lender.

SECTION 2.06. PAYMENTS AND PREPAYMENTS.

(a) Payments of the Swing Line Loans. Subject to the other terms and provisions of this Agreement, including Section 2.08 and the acceleration of the Obligations outstanding hereunder and under the other Loan Documents following the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.03, the Borrowers will repay each Swing Line Loan on the tenth Business Day following the Borrowing thereof.

(b) Voluntary Prepayments.

(i) The Borrowers may, upon notice to Administrative Agent, from the Administrative Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Revolving Credit Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that: (A) such notice must be received by Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (1) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans and (2) one Business Day prior to any date of prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans; and (B) any prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans will be in a principal amount of $2,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, or that are Base Rate Loans will be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice will specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Revolving Credit Loans to be prepaid. Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice and of the amount of such Lender’s Percentage Share thereof. If the Administrative Borrower gives such notice, then the Borrowers’ prepayment obligation will be irrevocable, and the Borrowers will make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice will be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Revolving Credit Loan that is a Eurodollar Rate Loan will be accompanied by any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05 (including amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05(c) and any foreign exchange losses). Subject to Section 3.07, each such prepayment will be applied to the Revolving Credit Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentage Shares.

(ii) The Borrowers may, upon notice to Swing Line Lender from the Administrative Borrower, on behalf of the Borrowers (with a copy to Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that such notice must be received by Swing Line Lender and Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment. Each such notice will specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If the Administrative Borrower gives such a notice, then the Borrowers’ prepayment obligation will be irrevocable, and the Borrowers will make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice will be due and payable on the date specified therein.

(c) Mandatory Prepayments.

(i) If, on any date and for any reason, the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations exceeds the L/C Sublimit, the Borrowers will immediately (and in any event within three Business Days thereof) Cash Collateralize the Outstanding Amount of such L/C Obligations in an amount equal to such excess.

(ii) If, on any date the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings, less the amount of L/C Obligations Cash Collateralized, exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect, including after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.07, the Borrowers will immediately, and without notice or demand, prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Borrowings by an amount equal to the applicable excess. Any such prepayment will be applied, first, to any L/C Borrowings, second, to prepay any outstanding Swing Line Loans and third, to prepay any outstanding Revolving Credit Loans.

(iii) If, following any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.07, the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Swing Line Loans would exceed the Swing Line Sublimit (including as reduced by such reduction), the Borrowers will prepay on the reduction date the Outstanding Amount of Swing Line Loans by an amount equal to the amount by which such Outstanding Amount exceeds the Swing Line Sublimit.

(iv) If, following any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.07, the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Sublimit (including as reduced by such reduction), the Borrowers will Cash Collateralize such L/C Obligations.

SECTION 2.07. TERMINATION OR REDUCTION OF AGGREGATE REVOLVING CREDIT COMMITMENTS.

The Borrowers may, upon notice from the Administrative Borrower, on behalf of the Borrowers, to Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments; provided that (a) any such notice will be irrevocable and received by Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. three Business Days prior to the requested effective date of such termination or reduction; (b) any such partial reduction will be in an aggregate amount of $25,000,000 or any whole multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof; (c) the Borrowers will not terminate or reduce the

Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments; and (d) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, the L/C Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, such sublimit(s) will be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments. Any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments will be applied to the commitment of each Lender according to its Percentage Share thereof. All Revolving Credit Commitment Fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments will be paid on the effective date of such termination.

SECTION 2.08. FINAL REPAYMENT OF REVOLVING CREDIT LOANS AND SWING LOANS.

On the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Borrowers will repay (i) to Lenders in full the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Revolving Credit Loans and (ii) to Swing Line Lender in full the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans, and in each case all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

SECTION 2.09. INTEREST; APPLICABLE RATES.

(a) Interest Generally. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.09(b), (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan will bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate and (ii) each Base Rate Loan (including each Swing Line Loan) will bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) Default Rate.

(i) If an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) occurs as a result of the Borrowers’ failure to timely make any payment of the Obligations when due and payable under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents(after giving effect to any applicable cure period) or under Section 8.01(f), then, without limitation of and in addition to clause (ii) of this Section 2.09(b), the entire principal amount of the Obligations (except for undrawn Credits) will thereafter, from the date such Event of Default occurred and continuing until the related Event of Default has been cured or waived in accordance with Section 10.01 of this Agreement, without any required notice from Lenders or Administrative Agent, bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(ii) If any Event of Default occurs, then, without limitation of and in addition to clause (i) of this Section 2.09(b), upon written notice to the Borrowers from Required Lenders (or from Administrative Agent at the direction of Required Lenders), the outstanding Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will, effective as of the date of delivery of such written notice to the Administrative Borrower, on behalf of the Borrowers, and continuing until the related Event of Default has been cured or waived in accordance with Section 10.01,

will bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(iii) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) will be due and payable upon demand.

(c) Payment Dates; Accrual of Interest. Interest on each Loan will be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder will be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof both before and after judgment, and both before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law.

(d) Increases and Decreases of Applicable Rates. Any increase or decrease in any Applicable Rate resulting from a change in the Consolidated Leverage Ratio will become effective as of the date that is the earlier of (i) the last date by which the Borrowers are otherwise required to deliver a Compliance Certificate in accordance with Section 6.01(c) for given period (each such date, a “calculation date”) and (ii) the date that is two Business Days after the date on which the Administrative Borrower, on behalf of the Borrowers, actually delivers a Compliance Certificate in accordance with Section 6.01(c) for a given period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Applicable Rates in effect from the Closing Date to the date that is two Business Days following receipt by Administrative Agent of a timely delivered Compliance Certificate with respect to the Fiscal Period ending March 31, 2012 (the “Initial Applicable Rates”) shall be based on the Borrowers’ Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of December 31, 2011. For purposes of determining the Initial Applicable Rates, the Borrowers’ Consolidated Leverage Ratio shall be calculated based on the audited financial statements of the Borrowers for the four quarter period ended December 31, 2011. If any Compliance Certificate required to be delivered in accordance with Section 6.01(c) is not delivered to Administrative Agent on or before the related calculation date, then the levels corresponding to Tier 1 as indicated on the grid set forth in the definition of “Applicable Rate” will apply, effective on the related calculation date until two Business Days after such Compliance Certificate is actually received by Administrative Agent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, if, for any period and for any reason, the actual Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as determined by Administrative Borrower in good faith and consented to by the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), is higher than that reported in the related Compliance Certificate delivered for such period, then the Borrowers will immediately, without the requirement of notice or demand from any Person, pay to Lending Parties an amount equal to the excess of (A) the amount of interest or fees that would have accrued had the Applicable Rates for such period been based upon the actual Consolidated Leverage Ratio for such period rather than the Consolidated Leverage Ratio reported in the Compliance Certificate delivered for such period over (B) the amount of interest or fees that was actually paid by the Borrowers based upon the Consolidated Leverage Ratio reported in the Compliance Certificate delivered for such period. The foregoing will in no way limit the rights of Administrative Agent to impose the Default Rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.09(b) or to exercise any other remedy available at law or as provided hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 2.10. FEES.

In addition to certain fees described in subsections (h) and (i) of Section 2.04:

(a) Revolving Credit Facility Commitment Fee. The Borrowers will pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Percentage Share, a commitment fee (the “Revolving Credit Commitment Fee”) equal to the Applicable Rate multiplied by the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments exceed the sum of the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings (less the Outstanding Amount of Swing Line Loans) for each such day, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.07; provided that, if any Compliance Certificate required to be delivered in accordance with Section 6.01(c) is not delivered to Administrative Agent on or before the related calculation date, then the levels corresponding to Tier 1 as indicated on the grid set forth in the definition of “Applicable Rate” will apply, effective on the related calculation date until two Business Days after such Compliance Certificate is actually received by Administrative Agent. The Revolving Credit Commitment Fee will accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and will be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. The Revolving Credit Commitment Fee will be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount will be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this clause (a), the determination of the Applicable Rate for any period and at anytime will be subject to the provisions of Section 2.09(d).

(b) Administrative Agent’s, L/C Issuer’s and Arranger’s Fees. The Borrowers will pay such fees as are specified as owing to such Persons in the Fee Letters.

SECTION 2.11. COMPUTATIONS OF INTEREST AND FEES.

All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans based on the Prime Rate will be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of interest and fees hereunder will be made on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed (which results in more interest being paid than if computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable), or, in the case of interest in respect of Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice. Interest will accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and will not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made will, subject to Section 2.13(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder will be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Without limitation of the foregoing, in computing the interest on any Eurodollar Rate Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency, such Loan will have added to it the U.K. Regulatory Cost, if any, associated with such Loan.

SECTION 2.12. EVIDENCE OF INDEBTEDNESS.

(a) Evidence of Payments. The Credit Extensions made by each Lender will be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business, including the Register as described in Section 10.06(c). The accounts or records maintained by Administrative Agent and each Lender will be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so will not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. If any conflict exists between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of Administrative Agent will control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through Administrative Agent, the Borrowers will execute and deliver to such Lender (through Administrative Agent) a Note, which will evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

(b) Evidence of Certain Participations. In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.12(a), each Lender and Administrative Agent will maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Credits and Swing Line Loans. If any conflict exists between the accounts and records maintained by Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of Administrative Agent will control in the absence of manifest error.

SECTION 2.13. PAYMENTS GENERALLY; RIGHT OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO MAKE DEDUCTIONS AUTOMATICALLY.

(a) Payments Generally.

(i) All payments to be made by the Borrowers will be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder will be made to Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than (i) 12:00 noon on the date specified herein or (ii) after the Applicable Time specified by Administrative Agent in the case of payments in an Alternative Currency, will in each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee will continue to accrue. If, for any reason, any Borrower is prohibited by any requirement of applicable Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, the Borrowers will make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount. Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Percentage Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by Administrative Agent after 12:00 noon will be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee will continue to accrue; provided, however, that at the request of Administrative Agent, payments of interest on Eurodollar Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency will be made in the applicable Alternative Currency in immediately available funds to such account at such bank as

Administrative Agent may designate to any Borrower, no later than 12:00 noon (local time in the place where such bank is located) on the due date. If any payment to be made by the Borrowers will come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment will be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time will be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(ii) The Borrowers hereby authorize Administrative Agent (A) to deduct automatically all principal, interest or fees when due hereunder or under any Note from any account of the Borrowers maintained with Administrative Agent and (B) if and to the extent any payment of principal, interest or fees under this Agreement or any Note is not made when due to deduct any such amount from any or all of the accounts of the Borrowers maintained at Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent agrees to provide written notice to the Borrowers of any automatic deduction made pursuant to this Section 2.13(a)(ii) showing in reasonable detail the amounts of such deduction. Each Lender agrees to reimburse the Borrowers based on its applicable Percentage Share for any amounts deducted from such accounts in excess of amount due hereunder and under any other Loan Documents.

(b) Fundings by the Lenders, Payments by the Borrowers and Presumptions by Administrative Agent.

(i) Unless Administrative Agent will have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.03 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender, on the one hand, and the Borrowers, on the other hand, each severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing; and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans. If the Borrowers and such Lender will pay such interest to Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, Administrative Agent will promptly remit to the Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid will constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrowers will be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that will have failed to make such payment to Administrative Agent.

(ii) Unless Administrative Agent will have received notice from the Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due hereunder to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or any L/C Issuer that the Borrowers will not make such payment,

Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, each severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lenders or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to it to the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A notice of Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrowers (including to the Administrative Borrowers on behalf of the Borrowers) with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.13(b) will be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. Subject to Section 2.04 and Section 2.05, if any Lender makes available to Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II and such funds are not made available to the Borrowers by Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, Administrative Agent will return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(d) Obligations of the Lenders are Several and not Joint. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Credits and Swing Line Loans and to make payments under Section 2.13(b)(ii), Section 10.04(c) and Section 10.05 are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 2.13(b)(ii), Section 10.04(c) or Section 10.05 on any date required hereunder will not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender will be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 2.13(b)(ii), Section 10.04(c) or Section 10.05.

(e) Funding Sources. Nothing herein will be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. Without limitation of the preceding sentence, neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender will be required actually to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues at the Eurodollar Rate. The provisions of this Section 2.13(e) will apply as if each Lender had match funded any Obligation as to which interest is accruing at the Eurodollar Rate by acquiring eurodollar deposits for each Interest Period in the amount of the Eurodollar Rate Loans.

SECTION 2.14. SHARING OF PAYMENTS.

If any Lender will, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it, resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and

accrued interest thereon greater than its Percentage Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion will: (a) notify Administrative Agent of such fact; and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as will be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments will be shared by Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that: (i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations will be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.14 will not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender, (B) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.16, or (C) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to the any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.14 will apply).

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

SECTION 2.15. INCREASE IN AGGREGATE COMMITMENTS AND INCREMENTAL TERM LOANS.

(a) Increase in Aggregate Commitments and Incremental Term Loans Generally. So long as the Aggregate Commitments have not previously been voluntarily reduced pursuant to Section 2.07, and subject to the further conditions set forth in Section 2.15(c), upon notice to Administrative Agent by the Administrative Borrower, on behalf of the Borrowers, at any time after the Closing Date but not less than thirty days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Borrowers may (i) incur additional Indebtedness under this Agreement in the form of a new term loan facility under this Agreement (each, an “Incremental Term Loan”) and/or (ii) request one or more Additional Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (A) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of Additional Revolving Credit Commitments and Incremental Term Loans that have been added pursuant to this Section 2.15 will not exceed $200,000,000; (B) any such addition will be in a minimum aggregate amount of $25,000,000 or any whole multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof (provided that such amount may be less than $25,000,000 if such amount represents all remaining availability under the aggregate limit in respect of Additional Revolving Credit Commitments and Incremental Term Loans set forth in clause (A) of this proviso); and (C) the Borrowers may request a maximum of three such Additional Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Incremental Term Loans.

(b) Certain Provisions Regarding Increase of Aggregate Commitments. If any Additional Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Incremental Term Loans are added in

accordance with this Section 2.15, Administrative Agent and the Administrative Borrower, on behalf of the Borrowers, will determine the effective date (the “Additional Commitments Effective Date”) of such addition and the amount of, and the Persons who will provide, such Additional Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Incremental Term Loans; provided that no Person who is not at the time a Lender will be selected to provide Additional Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Incremental Term Loans until each existing Lender has been provided with a reasonable opportunity to provide all or a portion of such Additional Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Incremental Term Loans in an amount not less than its Percentage Share thereof and has either accepted, declined or failed to respond to such opportunity to provide such percentage share of such Additional Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Incremental Term Loans; provided, further, that no existing Lender will have any obligation to provide all or any portion of such Additional Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Incremental Term Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Administrative Borrower, on behalf of the Borrowers, and Lending Parties of the final amount of such Additional Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Incremental Term Loans and the Additional Commitments Effective Date, as well as in the case of each notice to any Lender, the respective interests in such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans and/or Incremental Term Loans, as applicable, in each case subject to the assignments contemplated by this Section 2.15. As conditions precedent to each such Additional Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Incremental Term Loans: (i) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents (including all documents required pursuant to Section 2.15(c)) will be true and correct on and as of the Additional Commitments Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they will have been true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that, for purposes of this Section 2.15(b), the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.10 will be deemed to refer to the most recent financial statements furnished pursuant to Section 6.01(a) and Section 6.01(b), respectively; (ii) no Default or Event of Default will exist immediately before or immediately after giving effect to such addition; (iii) the Borrowers will be in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 7.14 after giving pro forma effect to the making of Additional Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Incremental Term Loans and the Loans made in connection therewith; (iv) the Borrowers, Administrative Agent and Lending Parties (including any new Lending Parties being added in connection with such addition) will have entered into all documents required pursuant to Section 2.15(c), and the Borrowers will have complied with all of the conditions precedent to the effectiveness of such addition as provided in such documents (including any requirement to pay fees and expenses to any or all of Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lending Parties, including any new Lending Parties); and (v) the Borrowers will have delivered to Administrative Agent a certificate dated as of the Additional Commitments Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of the Administrative Borrower, on behalf of the Borrowers, certifying as to the truth, accuracy and correctness of the matters set forth in the immediately preceding clauses (i), (ii) and (iii). On each Additional Commitments Effective Date, each applicable Lender, Eligible Assignee or other Person who is providing an Additional Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Incremental Term Loan will become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any Additional Revolving Credit Loan will be a “Revolving Credit Loan” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing, in connection with any Additional Revolving Credit Commitments, on any Additional Commitments Effective Date on which Additional Revolving

Credit Commitments are made, subject to the satisfaction of the other terms and conditions contained in this Section 2.15, (1) each of the existing Lenders will assign to each Person providing an Additional Revolving Credit Commitment, and each such Person will purchase from each of the existing Lenders, in an amount equal to the Outstanding Amount thereof (together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon), such interests in the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such date as will be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Credit Loans will be held by existing Lenders and the Person making the Additional Revolving Credit Commitments ratably in accordance with their Percentage Shares after giving effect to the addition of such Additional Revolving Credit Commitments to the existing Revolving Credit Commitments; and (2) each Person making an Additional Revolving Credit Commitment will be deemed for all purposes to have made a Revolving Credit Commitment and each Additional Revolving Credit Loan will be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Credit Loan.

(c) Terms and Documentation. Any other terms of and documentation entered into in respect of any Additional Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Incremental Term Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.15 (collectively, the “Additional Commitment Documentation”) will be (i) with respect to Additional Revolving Credit Commitments, consistent with the Revolving Credit Commitments or (ii) with respect to any Incremental Term Loans, reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided that (i) the Borrowers and the Additional Lenders may agree to additional fees payable to any Additional Lenders in consideration of such Additional Lender’s agreement to provide such Additional Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Incremental Term Loans and (ii) any Incremental Term Loan shall have a maturity date no sooner than the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. Any Additional Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Incremental Term Loans made or provided pursuant to this Section 2.15 will be (i) entitled, on a pari passu basis, to the same benefit of the Guaranties as the Revolving Credit Commitments and (ii) evidenced by one or more entries in the Register maintained by Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 10.06(c).

(d) Amendment to Credit Agreement. The Administrative Agent is authorized to enter into, on behalf of the Lenders, any amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan Document as may be necessary to incorporate the terms of any new Incremental Term Loan therein.

SECTION 2.16. CASH COLLATERAL.

(a) Certain Credit Support Events. Upon the request of Administrative Agent or L/C Issuer (i) if any L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Credit issued by it and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrowers will, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations. At any time that there will exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the request of Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrowers will deliver to Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 3.07(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(b) Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) will be maintained in blocked, interest bearing deposit accounts at Xxxxx Fargo (the type of such account to be agreed upon between Administrative Agent and Administrative Borrower in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent in its Reasonable Discretion). Each Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Credit Group, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.16(c). If at any time Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Borrowers will, promptly upon demand by Administrative Agent, pay or provide to Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency. For the purpose of any Cash Collateral held in an interest bearing account pursuant to this Agreement, Administrative Agent will report to Administrative Borrower the aggregate amount of interest and other income earned on the Cash Collateral (such aggregate amounts, “Cash Collateral Interest”) upon receiving a written request for such information from Administrative Borrower. All Cash Collateral Interest earned during each calendar year on the Cash Collateral deposited in such account will automatically be released to Administrative Borrower within ten Business Days after each December 31 of a calendar year. Each Borrower will bear responsibility for paying any Taxes due thereon, and, as reasonably requested by Administrative Agent, each Borrower will provide to Administrative Agent a withholding certificate relating to such Taxes; provided, however, that Administrative Agent will withhold from amounts otherwise due to such party if required by any applicable Law. The parties agree that, for tax reporting purposes, all Cash Collateral Interest will, as of the end of each calendar year and to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Service, be reported as having been earned by the Borrowers, whether or not such income was disbursed during such calendar year. The Borrowers will be responsible for paying Taxes (including any penalties and interest thereon) on all Cash Collateral Interest earned on the Cash Collateral and for filing all necessary tax returns with respect to such income, provided, that Administrative Agent will have no obligation to file or prepare any tax returns or prepare any other reports for any taxing authorities concerning matters covered by this Agreement. Administrative Agent will file any applicable IRS form, including IRS Form 1099, consistent with such treatment to the extent required by applicable Law. If any amounts payable to a Borrower under this Agreement would be subject to any penalty tax by reason of the application of Section 409A of the Code or regulations promulgated thereunder, then the Borrowers hereto agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to take such steps as they agree to be necessary or desirable (including providing an instruction to Administrative Agent) to comply with such Code section. In no event will Administrative Agent be liable in connection with its investment or reinvestment of any Cash Collateral held by it pursuant to this Agreement in good faith and in accordance with the terms of any agreement concerning such Cash Collateral, including any liability for delays in the investment or reinvestment of the Cash Collateral, or any loss of interest incident to any such delays.

(c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.16 or Sections 2.04, 2.05, 2.06,

3.07 or 8.03 in respect of Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans will be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

(d) Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations will be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee) or (ii) Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (1) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Borrower will not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.16 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 8.04), and (2) the Person providing Cash Collateral and any L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral will not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

ARTICLE III
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

SECTION 3.01. TAXES.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes.

(i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document will to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes). If, however, applicable Laws require any Borrower or such other Loan Party or Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax will be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined by such Borrower or such other Loan Party or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to Section 3.01(e).

(ii) If any Borrower or any other Loan Party or Administrative Agent will be required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup withholding and withholding Taxes, from any payment, then (A) Administrative Agent will withhold or make such deductions as are determined by Administrative Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to Section 3.01(e), (B) Administrative Agent will timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by such Borrower or such other Loan Party, as the case may be, will be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01), Administrative Agent or the applicable Lending Party, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers and the Other Loan Parties. Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.01(a), each Borrower and each other Loan Party will timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Indemnification by Each Borrower and Each Other Loan Party.

(i) Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.01(a) and Section 3.01(b), each Borrower and each other Loan Party will, and do hereby, jointly and severally, indemnify Administrative Agent and each Lending Party, and will make payment in respect thereof within fifteen days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01) withheld or deducted by any Borrower or any other Loan Party or Administrative Agent or paid by Administrative Agent or such Lending Party, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Each Borrower and each other Loan Party will also, and do hereby, jointly and severally, indemnify Administrative Agent, and will make payment in respect thereof within fifteen days after demand therefor, for any amount which Lending Party for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to Administrative Agent as required by clause (ii) of this Section 3.01(c). A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to any Borrower or any other Loan Party by a Lending Party (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lending Party, will be conclusive absent manifest error.

(ii) Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.01(a) and Section 3.01(b), (A) no Loan Party will be required to indemnify any Foreign Lender, or pay any additional amount to such Foreign Lender, pursuant to Section 3.01(a), (b) or (c) in respect of Taxes to the extent that the obligation to pay or indemnify such additional amounts would not have arisen but for the failure of such Foreign Lender to comply with the provisions of Section 3.01(e), and (B) each Lending Party will, and does hereby, indemnify each Borrower and each other Loan Party and Administrative Agent, and will make payment in respect thereof within ten days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Borrowers or any other Loan Party or Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against any Borrower or Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Lending Party to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lending Party to such Borrower or such other Loan Party or Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.01(e). Each Lending Party hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lending Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this clause (ii). The agreements in this clause (ii) will survive the resignation and/or replacement of Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lending Party, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

(d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by any Borrower or any other Loan Party or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by such Borrower or such other Loan Party or Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, each Borrower and each other Loan Party will deliver to Administrative Agent or Administrative Agent will deliver to such Borrower or such other Loan Party, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Borrower or such other Loan Party or Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

(e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

(i) Each Lending Party will deliver to the Borrowers and to Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Laws or when reasonably requested by the Borrowers or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrowers or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lending Party’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lending Party’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States,

(A) any Lending Party that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code will deliver to the Borrowers and Administrative Agent executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements; and

(B) each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document will deliver to the Borrowers and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as will be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lending Party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrowers or Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

(2) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

(3) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and all required supporting documentation,

(4) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent stockholder” of any Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or

(5) executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the Borrowers or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(iii) Each Lending Party will promptly (A) notify the Borrowers and Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as will not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lending Party, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that the Borrowers or Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to such Lending Party.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time will Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lending Party, or have any obligation to pay to any Lending Party, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lending Party. If Administrative Agent or any Lending Party determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party or with respect to which the Borrowers or any other Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, it will pay to the Borrowers or such other Loan Party, as the case may be, an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers or such other Loan Party, as the case may be, under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or such Lending Party, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrowers or such other Loan Party, as the case may be, upon the request of Administrative Agent or such Lending Party, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers or such other Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Administrative Agent or such Lending Party, as the case may be, in the event Administrative Agent or such Lending Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 3.01(f) will not be

construed to require Administrative Agent or any Lending Party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Loan Party or any other Person.

SECTION 3.02. ILLEGALITY.

If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank offered market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through Administrative Agent, (a) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans will be suspended, and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender will, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrowers will, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender will, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans as indicated by a written notice from such Lender to Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, Administrative Agent will during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component thereof until Administrative is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers will also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted and all amounts due under Section 3.05 in accordance with the terms thereof due to such prepayment or conversion.

SECTION 3.03. INABILITY TO DETERMINE RATES.

If (a) Administrative Agent determines in connection with any request for a Borrowing or continuation of, or a conversion to, Eurodollar Rate Loan that (i) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank offered market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan or (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (b) Required Lenders determine in connection with any request for a Borrowing or continuation of,

or a conversion to, a Eurodollar Rate Loan that the Eurodollar Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, then Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrowers and each Lender in writing. Thereafter, (1) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans will be suspended, and (2) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurodollar Rate component in determining the Base Rate will be suspended, in each case until Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Revolving Credit Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

SECTION 3.04. INCREASED COSTS.

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

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lending Party (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Eurodollar Rate);

(ii) subject any Lending Party to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Credit, any participation in a Credit or any Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lending Party in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lending Party); or

(iii) impose on any Lender or any L/C Issuer or the London interbank offered market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing will be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lending Party hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then, upon request of such applicable Lending Party, the Borrowers will pay to such Lending Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lending Party for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lending Party determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lending Party or the Lending Office of such Lending Party or such Lending Party’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lending Party’s capital or on the capital of such Lending Party’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of any

such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, any such Lender, or the Credits issued by any such L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lending Party or such Lending Party’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lending Party’s policies and the policies of such Lending Party’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lending Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lending Party or such Lending Party’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or a L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 3.04, as well as the basis for determining such amount or amounts, and delivered to the Administrative Borrowers, on behalf of the Borrowers, will be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that such certificate sets forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts payable to such Lending Party pursuant to Sections 3.04(a) and (b). The Borrowers will pay such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 will not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrowers will not be required to compensate a Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to in this subsection (d) will be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e) Lookback; Nondiscrimination. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 3.04(a) and (b), the Borrowers will only be liable (a) for amounts in respect of increased costs or reduced returns for the period of up to ninety days prior to the date on which such demand was made and (b) to the extent the Lender making demand therefor has required similarly situated borrowers or obligors to pay comparable amounts in respect of such increased costs or reduced returns.

SECTION 3.05. COMPENSATION FOR LOSSES.

Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrowers will promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense actually incurred by it as a result of (a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise), (b) any failure by the Borrowers (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than to continue a Loan as, or to convert a Loan to, a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount

notified by the Borrowers, (c) any failure by the Borrowers (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrowers, or (d) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.04 or Section 3.06, including, in each of the foregoing cases, any loss of anticipated profits, any foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or redeployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrowers will also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrowers to Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender will be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Base Rate used in determining the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank offered market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded. For purposes of calculating amounts payable to any Lender under this Section 3.05, such Lender will be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the offshore interbank market for such currency for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

SECTION 3.06. MITIGATION OBLIGATIONS.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.01, if any Lending Party requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lending Party or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lending Party gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lending Party, at the request of the Borrowers, will use reasonable efforts 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 reasonable judgment of such Lending Party, such designation or assignment: (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable; and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lending Party to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lending Party as reasonably determined by such Lending Party. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lending Party in connection with any such designation or assignment.

SECTION 3.07. DEFAULTING LENDERS.

(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement will be restricted as set forth in Section 10.01.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08), will be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuers or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by Administrative Agent or requested by any L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Credit or Swing Line Loan; fourth, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by Administrative Agent and the Borrowers and subject to Section 2.16(b), to be held in an interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, any L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (1) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (2) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment will be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 3.07(a)(ii) will be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (A) will not be entitled to receive any Revolving Credit Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 2.10(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers will not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (B) will be limited in its right to receive L/C Fees as provided in Section 2.04(h).

(iv) Reallocation of Percentage Shares to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Credits or Swing Line Loans pursuant to Sections 2.04 and 2.05, the “Percentage Share” of each non-Defaulting Lender that is a Lender will be computed without giving effect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided, that, (A) each such reallocation will be

given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (B) each such reallocation will be given effect only to the extent that, after giving effect to such reallocation, each non-Defaulting Lender’s Percentage Share of the Defaulting Lender’s aggregate Fronting Exposure will not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Revolving Credit Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the sum of (x) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of that non- Defaulting Lender and (y) that non-Defaulting Lender’s Percentage Share of the then Outstanding Amount of any L/C Obligations.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrowers, Administrative Agent, each L/C issuer and Swing Line Lender agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Credit Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Credits and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Percentage Share (without giving effect to Section 3.07(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 3.08. REPLACEMENT OF LENDERS.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.01, the Borrowers may with respect to any Specified Lender:

(i) request one or more of the other Lenders to acquire and assume all of such Specified Lender’s Loans (including participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) and Commitments, which Lender or Lenders will have the right, but not the obligation, to so acquire and assume such Specified Lender’s Loans (including participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) and Commitments pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 10.06(b); or

(ii) with the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and, if such Specified Lender has any Revolving Credit Commitments, each applicable designated L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), designate a replacement bank or financial institution that is an Eligible Assignee (a “Replacement Lender”), which Replacement Lender will assume all of the Loans (including participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) and Commitments of such Specified Lender pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 10.06(b);

provided that the Borrowers may not require such Specified Lender to make any assignment and delegation, pursuant to the immediately preceding clauses (i) or (ii), as applicable, if (1) a Default or Event of Default then exists or (2) as a result of a change in circumstances involving such Lender or otherwise prior to the effectiveness of any such action, such Specified Lender is no longer a Specified Lender as a result of it no longer being a Defaulting Lender.

Any assignment and delegation by, a Specified Lender pursuant to this Section 3.08(a) will be subject to Section 3.05 and to payment to such Specified Lender of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all of its Loans (including participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, all accrued and unpaid fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, which amounts will be paid to such Specified Lender by the applicable assignee (to the extent of all such outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest and fees) and the Borrowers (to the extent of all such other amounts). Each Lender hereby grants to Administrative Agent a power of attorney (which power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender, as assignor, any Assignment and Assumption necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in circumstances contemplated by this Section 3.08(a).

(b) Certain Rights as a Lender. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Specified Lender and the termination of such Lender’s Commitments pursuant to this Section 3.08, such Specified Lender will no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided that such Specified Lender will continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the date on which all amounts owing to such Specified Lender were prepaid in full and the Commitments of such Specified Lender were terminated pursuant to this Section 3.08.

(c) Evidence of Replacement. Promptly following the replacement of any Specified Lender in accordance with this Section 3.08, Administrative Agent will distribute an amended Schedule 2.02, which will be deemed incorporated into this Agreement, to reflect changes in the identities of Lenders and adjustments of their respective Commitments or Percentage Shares, as applicable, resulting from any such removal or replacement.

SECTION 3.09. SURVIVAL.

All obligations of the Borrowers under this Article III will survive termination of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations.

(a) Truth and Correctness of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of each Borrower and each other Loan Party contained in Article V or any other Loan Document will be true and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier will not be applicable to any portion of any representation and warranty that is already qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof) on and as of the date of such Credit Extension, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they will be true and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier will not be applicable to any portion of any representation and warranty that is already qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof) as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 4.02, the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.10 will be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to Sections 6.01(a) and (b).

(d) No Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate maintains or contributes to, or has any unsatisfied obligation to contribute to, or liability under, any active or terminated Pension Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan) and, to the Borrowers’ knowledge, Multiemployer Plan other than (i) on the Closing Date, those listed on Schedule 5.06(d) (or as disclosed in writing to Administrative Agent after the Closing Date pursuant to Section 6.03; provided that such disclosure will not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Lending Parties under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents) and (ii) thereafter, Pension Plans not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement.

Any Event of Default (or Default) so waived will be deemed to have been cured and not to be continuing; but no such waiver will be deemed a continuing waiver or will extend to or affect any subsequent like default or impair any rights arising therefrom.

SECTION 8.03. REMEDIES UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, the Lender Parties will have no obligation to advance money or extend any additional credit to or for

107

the benefit of the Borrowers, whether in the form of the making of Loans, the issuance of Letters of Credit or otherwise. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Administrative Agent will, at the request of, or may, with the consent of, Required Lenders, take any or all of the following actions, all of which are hereby authorized by the Borrowers and each of the other Loan Parties:

(a) Termination of Commitments. Declare, by written notice to the Borrowers, the Aggregate Commitments, including any commitments of any Lender or the Swing Lien Lender to make and advance Loans and any obligation of any L/C Issuer to make or issue L/C Credit Extensions, to be terminated, whereupon such commitments and obligations will be terminated, but without affecting any of the Credit Group’s Liens, if any;

(b) Acceleration of Obligations. Declare all or any portion of the unpaid principal amount the outstanding Loans, the interest accrued and unpaid thereon and the other amounts and Obligations owing or payable under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document or any other instrument executed by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party pursuant to the Loan Documents to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers and each such other Loan Party;

(c) Cash Collateralization of L/C Obligations. Require that the Borrowers Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an amount equal to 105.0% of the then Outstanding Amount thereof;

(d) Discretionary Advances. Make advances of Loans after the occurrence of any Event of Default, without thereby waiving their right to demand payment of the Obligations under this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, or any other rights or remedies described in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and without liability to make any other or further advances, notwithstanding Administrative Agent’s or any Lending Party’s previous exercise of any such rights and remedies; or

(e) Exercise of Rights and Remedies. Exercise on behalf of itself and the Lending Parties, in addition to all rights and remedies granted or otherwise made available to Administrative Agent or the Lending Parties under this Agreement, any and all rights and remedies granted or otherwise made available to Administrative Agent or the Lending Parties under the Collateral Documents and other Loan Documents or otherwise under applicable Law or in equity;

provided that, upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrowers under any Bankruptcy Law, the obligation of each Lender or Swing Line Lender to make or advance Loans and any obligation of any L/C Issuer to make or issue L/C Credit Extensions will automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts and Obligations as aforesaid will automatically become due and payable, and the obligation of the Borrowers to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an amount equal to 105.0% of the then Outstanding Amount thereof will automatically become effective, in each case, without further act of Administrative Agent or any Lending Party.

108

(a) First, to payment in full of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to Administrative Agent and amounts payable under Article III) payable to Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;

(b) Second, to payment in full of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees (including commitment fees), indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, interest and L/C Fees) payable to the Lending Parties (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lending Parties arising under the Loan Documents and amounts payable under Article III), ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

(c) Third, to payment in full of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans, L/C Borrowings and other Obligations arising under the Loan Documents and accrued and unpaid L/C Fees, ratably among the Lending Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;

(d) Fourth, to payment in full of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of all Loans and the L/C Borrowings;

(f) Sixth, to payment in full of all other Obligations; and

(g) Seventh, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrowers or as otherwise required by Law.

Subject to Section 2.04(c) and Section 2.16, amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Credits pursuant to the foregoing clause Fifth will be applied to satisfy drawings under such Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount will be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth in this Section 8.04.

ARTICLE IX
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

SECTION 9.01. APPOINTMENT AND AUTHORIZATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

Each Lending Party hereby irrevocably appoints Xxxxx Fargo to act on its behalf as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, including to act in such representative capacity as secured party on behalf and for the benefit of each such Lending Party under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article IX are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lending Parties, and no Borrower nor any other Loan Party will have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

SECTION 9.02. RIGHTS AS A LENDER.

If the Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder is also “Swing Line Lender,” a “L/C Issuer” or a “Lender,” such Person will have the same rights and powers in such capacity(ies) as any other Person in such capacity(ies) and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of any Borrower as if such Person were not Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to any other Lending Party.

SECTION 9.03. EXCULPATORY PROVISIONS.

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

(a) No Fiduciary Duties. Will not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) No Obligations Regarding Certain Actions. Will not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as will be expressly provided for herein or in any other Loan Documents), Swing Line Lender or a L/C Issuer, as applicable; provided that Administrative Agent will not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law;

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

110

(d) Limitation on Liability. Will not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as will be necessary, or as Administrative Agent will believe in good faith will be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 8.02 and Section 10.01), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Administrative Agent will be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, unless and until the Borrowers, a Loan Party, or a Lending Party provides written notice to Administrative Agent describing such Default or Event of Default. Administrative Agent will not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (A) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (B) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (C) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (D) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (E) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.04. RELIANCE BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

Administrative Agent will be entitled to rely upon, and will not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person and will not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a specified Lending Party, Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lending Party, unless Administrative Agent will have received notice to the contrary from such Lending Party prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Credit. In this regard, for purposes of determining compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 4.01, each Lending Party that has executed this Agreement will be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted, or to be satisfied with, each document and matter either sent, or made available, by Administrative Agent to such Lending Party for consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required thereunder to be to be consent to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to such Lending Party, unless Administrative Agent will have received notice from such Lending Party not less than two days prior to the Closing Date specifying such Lending Party’s objection thereto and such objection will not have been withdrawn by notice to Administrative Agent to such effect on or prior to the Closing Date. Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts it selects and will not be liable for any action it takes or does not take in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

111

SECTION 9.05. DELEGATION OF DUTIES.

Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents it appoints. Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. Administrative Agent will not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects with reasonable care. The exculpatory provisions of this Article IX will apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent and will apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.06. RESIGNATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to Lending Parties and the Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, Required Lenders will have the right, with, unless an Event of Default exists, the consent of the Borrowers (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), to appoint a successor, which will be a bank, trust company or insurance company organized (or in the case of a bank, having a branch registered) under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. If no such successor will have been so appointed by Required Lenders and will have accepted such appointment within thirty days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of Lending Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth in this Section 9.06; provided that, if Administrative Agent will notify Lending Parties and the Borrowers that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation will nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent will be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by Administrative Agent on behalf of any Lending Party under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent will continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Administrative Agent will instead be made by or to each Lending Party directly, until such time as Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for in this Section 9.06. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor will succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent will be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided in this Section 9.06). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent will be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article IX and Section 10.04 will continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

112

Any resignation by Xxxxx Fargo as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.06 will also constitute its resignation as Swing Line Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder (i) such successor will succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swing Line Lender; (ii) the retiring Swing Line Lender will be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the successor Swing Line Lenders will purchase the outstanding Swing Line Loans of the resigning Swing Lien Lender at par.

SECTION 9.07. NON-RELIANCE ON ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND OTHER LENDERS.

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

SECTION 9.08. NO OTHER DUTIES, ETC.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Person identified herein or on the facing page or signature pages hereof as a “Syndication Agent,” “Documentation Agent,” “Co-Agent,” “Book Manager,” “Book Runner,” “Arranger,” “Lead Arranger,” “Joint Lead Arranger” or “Joint Arranger,” if any, will have or be deemed to have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, other than in such Person’s capacity as (a) Administrative Agent or a Lending Party hereunder and (b) an Indemnitee hereunder, and no such Person will have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on such Persons in deciding to enter into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in taking or not taking any action hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 9.09. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM.

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation will then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent will have made any demand on the Borrowers) will be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid, and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lending Parties and Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Lending Parties and Administrative Agent and their respective

113

Nothing contained herein will be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lending Party any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lending Party or to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lending Party in any such proceeding.

SECTION 9.10. GUARANTY MATTERS.

Each Lending Party hereby (a) irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent to execute and deliver all documentation reasonably requested to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under a Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Material Subsidiary, whether as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder or otherwise by operation of the definition of “Material Subsidiary”, and (b) agrees that, upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, it will confirm in writing Administrative Agent’s authority to execute and deliver such documentation pursuant to this Section 9.10.

The Borrowers will indemnify Administrative Agent and each Lending Party and their respective Related Parties from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrowers. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with Administrative Agent may be recorded by Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

SECTION 10.03. NO WAIVER; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES; ENFORCEMENT.

No failure by Administrative Agent or any Lending Party to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof and no single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Borrowers or any other Loan Party will be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement will be instituted and maintained exclusively by, Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.03 for the benefit of all the Lending Parties; provided, however, that the foregoing will not prohibit (a) Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.14), or (d) any Lending Party from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Bankruptcy Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders will have the rights otherwise ascribed to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.03 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.14,

119

any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

SECTION 10.04. EXPENSES; INDEMNITY; DAMAGE WAIVER.

(a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrowers will pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for Administrative Agent), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of, or consents with respect to, the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby will be consummated); (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each L/C Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Credit or any demand for payment thereunder; and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lending Party (including the fees, charges and disbursements of (x) a single counsel for Administrative Agent and (y) a single counsel for the Lending Parties), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 10.04 or (B) in connection with the Loans made or Credits issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout or restructuring (or negotiations in connection with the foregoing) in respect of such Loans or Credits.

(b) Indemnification by the Borrowers. Each Borrower will indemnify each Indemnitee against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and related expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges, settlement costs and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by any Borrower or any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any document contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (ii) any Loan or Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Credit); (iii) any Environmental Claim or Environmental Liability; or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, investigation, litigation or other proceeding (including any administrative proceeding or any arbitration or other alternative dispute resolution proceeding) relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by any Borrower or any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory or sole negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity will not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by

120

final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. If and to the extent the Borrowers for any reason fails to pay when due any amount that they are required to pay under Section 10.04(a) or Section 10.04(b) to Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), Swing Line Lender, any L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), Swing Line Lender, each L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (based on its Percentage Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount); provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), Swing Line Lender, any L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), Swing Line Lender or L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity. The obligations of Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.13(d).

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Loan Party and each member of the Credit Group agrees that it will not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee (in the case of such waiver by the Loan Parties) and any Loan Party or Related Party thereof (in the case of such waiver by the members of the Credit Group), on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any document contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in Section 10.04(b) will be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent that such liability is determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section 10.04 will be payable not later than three Business Days after demand therefor.

(f) Survival. The agreements in this Section 10.04 will survive the resignation of Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and any L/C Issuer, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.05. MARSHALLING; PAYMENTS SET ASIDE.

Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lending Party will be under any obligation to marshal any asset in favor of the Borrowers or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrowers is made to Administrative Agent or any Lending Party, or Administrative Agent or any Lending

121

Party exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Administrative Agent or any Lending Party in such Person’s discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied will be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lending Party severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by Administrative Agent plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The obligations of each Lending Party under clause (b) of the preceding sentence will survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.06. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and each Lending Party, and neither Swing Line Lender nor any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(d) or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.06(f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto will be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, will be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.06(e) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of Administrative Agent and each Lending Party) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

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

(i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment(s) and Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment(s) (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if any Commitment is not then in effect, the Outstanding Amount of the Loans of the assigning Swing Line Lender or Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to Administrative Agent or, if a “trade date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of such trade date, will not be less than $10,000,000 unless each of Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has

122

occurred and is continuing, each Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(ii) each partial assignment will be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) will not apply to rights in respect of Swing Line Loans;

(iii) any assignment of a Commitment must be approved by Administrative Agent, the applicable designated L/C Issuer of any Letter of Credit then outstanding and Swing Line Lender, unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee);

(iv) so long as an Event of Default does not then exist, any assignment (other than an assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund) will require the prior written consent of the Administrative Borrower, on behalf of the Borrowers (which will not be unreasonably withheld), provided that the Administrative Borrower will be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it will object thereto by written notice to Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof; and

(v) no such assignment will be made (A) to any Borrower, Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (v), (C) to a natural person, or (D) any Person who is a beneficial owner of Subordinated Debt of the Loan Parties or any of such Person’s Affiliates.

The parties to each assignment will execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that Administrative Agent hereby waives such processing and recordation fee in connection with any assignment effected pursuant to Section 3.07(a). In addition, the Eligible Assignee, if it is not then a Lender, will deliver to Administrative Agent an Administrative Detail Form. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 10.06, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder will be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of Swing Line Lender or a Lender, as applicable, under this Agreement, and the assigning Swing Line Lender or Lender, as applicable, thereunder will, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lending Party’ rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lending Party will cease to be a party hereto) but will continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01, Section 3.04, Section 3.05 and Section 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrowers (at their expense) will execute and deliver Notes to the assignee Lending Party. Any assignment or transfer by Swing Line Lender or a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.06(b) will be null and void.

123

(c) Register. Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), will maintain at Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a Register. The entries in the Register will be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, Administrative Agent and Lending Parties may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, Administrative Agent will maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register will be available for inspection by each of the Borrowers, Swing Line Lender and each L/C Issuer, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or substantive change to the Loan Documents or any waiver of any provision thereunder is pending, any Lender wishing to consult with other Lenders in connection therewith may request and receive from Administrative Agent a copy of the Register.

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

(e) Participations. Swing Line Lender or any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Participant in all or a portion of such Person’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s) and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) any sale of a participation to a proposed Participant that would not otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee or that is a Defaulting Lender must be approved by Administrative Agent, (ii) such Person’s obligations under this Agreement will remain unchanged, (iii) such Person will remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iv) the Borrowers, Administrative Agent and Lending Parties will continue to deal solely and directly with such Person in connection with such Person’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any document pursuant to which Swing Line Lender or a Lender sells such a participation will provide that such Person will retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this

124

Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such document may provide that such Person will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to Section 10.06(f), the Borrowers agree that each Participant will be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01, Section 3.04 and Section 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lending Party hereunder and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.06(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also will be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lending Party, as long as such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.14 as though it were a Lending Party.

(f) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant will not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or Section 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrowers’ prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender will not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.

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

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

(i) Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Xxxxx Fargo assigns all of its Commitments and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 10.06, Xxxxx Fargo may do either or both of the following: (i) upon thirty days’ notice to the Borrowers and all Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer or (ii) upon thirty days’ notice to the Borrowers, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrowers will be entitled to appoint from among Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender (subject to such Lender’s consent to such appointment, at its sole discretion); provided that no failure by the Borrowers to appoint any such successor will affect the resignation of Xxxxx Fargo as a L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If Xxxxx Fargo resigns as a L/C Issuer, it will retain all the rights and obligations of a L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as a L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect

125

thereto (including the right to require Lenders to make Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Revolving Credit Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.04(c)). If Xxxxx Fargo resigns as Swing Line Lender, it will retain all the rights of Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require Lenders to make Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(c).

SECTION 10.07. TREATMENT OF CERTAIN INFORMATION; CONFIDENTIALITY.

Each Lender will make no disclosure of confidential information furnished to it by the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries, and identified as such, unless such information has become public, except: (a) in connection with operations under or the enforcement of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to Persons who have a reasonable need to be furnished such confidential information and who agree to comply with the restrictions contained in this Section 10.07 with respect to such information and to the extent such disclosure does not violate any applicable Laws; (b) pursuant to any statutory or regulatory requirement or any mandatory court order, subpoena or other legal process; (c) to any parent or corporate Affiliate of such Lender or to any Participant, proposed Participant or proposed Assignee; provided, however, that any such Person agrees to comply with the restrictions set forth in this Section 10.07 with respect to such information and to the extent such disclosure does not violate any applicable Laws; (d) to its independent counsel, auditors and other professional advisors with an instruction to such Person to keep such information confidential; (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially similar to those of this Section 10.07, to any direct or indirect counterparty in any swap agreement or hedging arrangement (or to such contractual counterparty’ s professional advisors) relating to the Loan Parties and their obligations; (f) with respect to confidential information related to the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such Lender relating to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided, however, that such disclosure may not be made to the extent required to be kept confidential to comply with any applicable federal or state securities laws; or (g) with the prior written consent of the Parent, to any other Person.

Each Loan Party hereby agrees that Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affiliate thereof may (a) disclose a general description of transactions arising under the Loan Documents for advertising, marketing or other similar purposes, and (b) use any Loan Party’s name, logo or other indicia germane to such party in connection with such advertising, marketing or other similar purposes.

SECTION 10.08. RIGHT OF SETOFF.

If an Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing, each Lending Party and its respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lending Party to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the Obligations to such Lending

126

Party or such Affiliate, irrespective of whether or not such Lending Party will have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Borrower or such Loan Party may be unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lending Party different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such obligations; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender will exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off will be paid over immediately to Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.07 and, pending such payment, will be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lending Parties, and (b) the Defaulting Lender will provide promptly to Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lending Party and its Affiliates under this Section 10.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lending Party or its Affiliates may have. Each Lending Party agrees to notify the Borrowers and Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice will not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

SECTION 10.09. INTEREST RATE LIMITATION.

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

SECTION 10.10. COUNTERPARTS; INTEGRATION; EFFECTIVENESS.

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which will constitute an original, but all of which when taken together will constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous documents, agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement will become effective when it will have been executed and delivered by Administrative Agent and when Administrative Agent will have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy will be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

127

SECTION 10.11. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

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

SECTION 10.12. SEVERABILITY.

If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction will not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders will be limited by Bankruptcy Laws, as determined in good faith by Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions will be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

SECTION 10.13. LENDER-CREDITOR RELATIONSHIP.

The relationship between the Lending Parties and Administrative Agent, on the one hand, and the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties, on the other, is solely that of creditor and debtor. Neither any Lending Party nor Administrative Agent has (or will be deemed to have) any fiduciary relationship or duty to the Borrowers or any other Loan Party arising out of or in connection with, and there is no agency or joint venture relationship between the Lending Parties and Administrative Agent, on the one hand, and the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties, on the other, by virtue of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any of the Transactions contemplated herein or therein.

128

SECTION 10.14. USA PATRIOT ACT NOTICE.

Each Lending Party that is subject to the PATRIOT Act and Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lending Party) hereby notifies the Borrowers that, pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, they are each required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers and each other Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of the Borrowers and each other Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lending Party or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrowers and each other Loan Party in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.

SECTION 10.15. GUARANTY BY SUBSIDIARIES.

(a) Guaranty. Each Domestic Subsidiary of the Borrowers that is a Material Subsidiary party hereto (each, a “Subsidiary Guarantor”) jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Administrative Agent and Lending Parties the full and prompt payment when due (whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise) and performance of the Obligations (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guaranteed Obligations include interest that, but for a proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against the Borrowers for such interest in any such proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Subsidiary Guarantor that has been a Material Subsidiary ceases to be a Material Subsidiary for a period of twelve consecutive months, and if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the end of such twelve consecutive month period, then upon the Administrative Borrower’s written notification to Administrative Agent of the satisfaction of the conditions necessary to release such Subsidiary Guarantor, such Subsidiary Guarantor will be released as a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder upon Administrative Agent’s subsequent written acknowledgement of such release (such acknowledgement not to be unreasonably withheld).

(b) Separate Obligation. Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Guaranteed Obligations are separate and distinct from any Indebtedness arising under or in connection with any other document, including under any provision of this Agreement other than this Section 10.15, executed at any time by such Subsidiary Guarantor in favor of Administrative Agent or any Lending Party; and (ii) such Subsidiary Guarantor will pay and perform all of the Guaranteed Obligations as required under this Section 10.15, and Administrative Agent and Lending Parties may enforce any and all of their respective rights and remedies hereunder, without regard to any other document, including any provision of this Agreement other than this Section 10.15, at any time executed by such Subsidiary Guarantor in favor of Administrative Agent or any Lending Party, irrespective of whether any such other document, or any provision thereof or hereof, will for any reason become unenforceable or any of the Indebtedness thereunder will have been discharged, whether by performance, avoidance or otherwise. Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges that, in providing benefits to the Borrowers, Administrative Agent and Lending Parties are relying upon the enforceability of this Section 10.15 and the Guaranteed Obligations as separate and distinct Indebtedness of each such Subsidiary Guarantor, and each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that Administrative Agent and the Lending Parties would be denied the full benefit of their bargain if at any time this Section 10.15 or the Guaranteed Obligations were treated any differently. The fact that the Guaranty is set forth in this Agreement rather than in a separate guaranty document is for the convenience of the

129

Borrowers and each Subsidiary Guarantor and will in no way impair or adversely affect the rights or benefits of Administrative Agent and the Lending Parties under this Section 10.15. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees to execute and deliver a separate document, immediately upon request at any time of Administrative Agent or any Lending Party, evidencing each such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 10.15. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, a separate action or actions may be brought against each such Subsidiary Guarantor, whether or not any Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person is joined therein or a separate action or actions are brought against any such Borrower or any such other Subsidiary Guarantor or any such other Person.

(c) Insolvency Laws; Right of Contribution.

(i) As used in this Section 10.15(c): (a) the term “Guarantor Applicable Insolvency Laws” means the Laws of any Governmental Authority relating to bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment of debts, relief of debtors, dissolution, insolvency, fraudulent transfers or conveyances or other similar laws (including 11 U. S. C. §547, §548, §550 and other “avoidance” provisions of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code) as applicable in any proceeding in which the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Subsidiary Guarantor, or any Guarantor Specified Lien is in issue; and (b) “Guarantor Specified Lien” means any Lien from time to time granted by any Subsidiary Guarantor securing the Guaranty Obligations. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if, in any proceeding, a court of competent jurisdiction determines that with respect to any Subsidiary Guarantor, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any Guarantor Specified Lien would, but for the operation of this Section 10.15(c), be subject to avoidance and/or recovery or be unenforceable by reason of Guarantor Applicable Insolvency Laws, this Agreement, such other Loan Document and each such Guarantor Specified Lien will be valid and enforceable against such Guarantor, only to the maximum extent that would not cause this Agreement, such other Loan Document or such Guarantor Specified Lien to be subject to avoidance, recovery or unenforceability. To the extent that any payment to, or realization by, Administrative Agent or any Lending Party on the Guaranty Obligations exceeds the limitations of this Section 10.15(c) and is otherwise subject to avoidance and recovery in any such proceeding, the amount subject to avoidance will in all events be limited to the amount by which such actual payment or realization exceeds such limitation, and this Agreement as limited will in all events remain in full force and effect and be fully enforceable against such Guarantor. This Section 10.15(c) is intended solely to reserve the rights of Administrative Agent and the Lending Parties hereunder against each Guarantor, in such proceeding to the maximum extent permitted by Guarantor Applicable Insolvency Laws and neither any Borrower, nor any Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Obligations nor any other Person will have any right, claim or defense under this Section 10.15(c) that would not otherwise be available under Guarantor Applicable Insolvency Laws in such proceeding.

(ii) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that, to the extent that any Subsidiary Guarantor will have paid an amount hereunder to or on behalf of Administrative Agent and the Lending Parties that is greater than the net value of the benefits received, directly or indirectly, by such paying Guarantor as a result of the Credit Extensions and other credit accommodations extended hereunder, such paying Guarantor will be entitled to contribution from any Guarantor that has not paid its proportionate share, based on benefits received as a

130

result of the making and issuance of the Credit Extensions. Any amount payable as a contribution under this Section 10.15(c) will be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the Guarantor seeking contribution and each Guarantor acknowledges that the right to contribution hereunder will constitute an asset of such Guarantor to which such contribution is owed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 10.15(c) will in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to Administrative Agent and the Lending Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and each Guarantor will remain jointly and severally liable for the full payment and performance of the Guaranty Obligations.

(d) Liability of Subsidiary Guarantors. The liability of each Subsidiary Guarantor under this Section 10.15 will be irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional, and will not be affected by any circumstance that might constitute a discharge of a surety or guarantor other than the indefeasible payment and performance in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees as follows:

(i) such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability hereunder will be the immediate, direct, and primary obligation of such Subsidiary Guarantor and will not be contingent upon Administrative Agent’s or any Lending Party’s exercise or enforcement of any remedy it may have against any Borrower or any other Person, or against any collateral or other security for any Guaranteed Obligations;

(ii) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not merely of collectibility;

(iii) Administrative Agent and Lending Parties may enforce this Section 10.15 upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute among Administrative Agent and Lending Parties, on the one hand, and the Borrowers or any other Person, on the other hand, with respect to the existence of such Event of Default;

(iv) such Subsidiary Guarantor’s payment of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations will in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations remaining unsatisfied; and

(v) such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations will remain in full force and effect without regard to, and will not be impaired or affected by, nor will such Subsidiary Guarantor be exonerated or discharged by, any of the following events:

(A) any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law;

(B) any limitation, discharge, or cessation of the liability of the Borrowers or any other Person for any Guaranteed Obligations due to any applicable Law, or any invalidity or unenforceability in whole or in part of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or the Loan Documents;

131

(C) any merger, acquisition, consolidation or change in structure of the Borrowers or any other Guarantor or Person, or any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any or all of the assets or shares of the Borrowers or any other Guarantor or Person;

(D) any assignment or other transfer, in whole or in part, of Administrative Agent’s or any Lending Party’s interests in and rights under this Agreement (including this Section 10.15) or the other Loan Documents;

(E) any claim, defense, counterclaim or setoff, other than that of prior performance, that any Borrower, any such Subsidiary Guarantor, any other Guarantor or any other Person may have or assert, including any defense of incapacity or lack of corporate or other authority to execute any of the Loan Documents;

(F) Administrative Agent’s or any Lending Party’s amendment, modification, renewal, extension, cancellation or surrender of any Loan Document or any Guaranteed Obligations;

(G) Administrative Agent’s or any Lending Party’s exercise or non-exercise of any power, right or remedy with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations or any collateral;

(H) Administrative Agent’s or any Lending Party’s vote, claim, distribution, election, acceptance, action or inaction in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law; or

(I) any other guaranty, whether by such Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person, of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other indebtedness, obligations or liabilities of the Borrowers to Administrative Agent or any Lending Party.

(e) Consents of Subsidiary Guarantors. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally consents and agrees that, without notice to or further assent from any such Subsidiary Guarantor:

(i) the principal amount of the Guaranteed Obligations may be increased or decreased and additional indebtedness or obligations of the Borrowers under the Loan Documents may be incurred and the time, manner, place or terms of any payment under any Loan Document may be extended or changed, by one or more amendments, modifications, renewals or extensions of any Loan Document or otherwise;

(ii) the time for the Borrowers’ (or any other Person’s) performance of or compliance with any term, covenant or agreement on its part to be performed or observed under any Loan Document may be extended, or such performance or compliance waived, or failure in or departure from such performance or compliance consented to, all in such manner and upon such terms as Administrative Agent and Lending Parties (as applicable under the relevant Loan Documents) may deem proper;

(iii) Administrative Agent and Lending Parties may request and accept other guaranties and may take and hold security as collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, and may,

132

from time to time, in whole or in part, exchange, sell, surrender, release, subordinate, modify, waive, rescind, compromise or extend such other guaranties or security and may permit or consent to any such action or the result of any such action, and may apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof; and

(iv) Administrative Agent or Lending Parties may exercise, or waive or otherwise refrain from exercising, any other right, remedy, power or privilege even if the exercise thereof affects or eliminates any right of subrogation or any other right of such Subsidiary Guarantor against the Borrowers.

(f) Guarantors’ Waivers. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert:

(i) any right to require Administrative Agent or any Lending Party to proceed against any Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person, or to pursue any other right, remedy, power or privilege of Administrative Agent or any Lending Party whatsoever;

(ii) the defense of the statute of limitations in any action hereunder or for the collection or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations (and in this regard that the performance of any act or any payment which tolls any statute of limitations applicable to Obligations under any of the Loan Documents will similarly operate to toll the statute of limitations applicable to each such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability hereunder);

(iii) any defense arising by reason of any lack of corporate or other authority or any other defense of any Borrower, such Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations);

(iv) any defense based upon Administrative Agent’s or any Lending Party’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(v) any rights to set-offs and counterclaims;

(vi) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties, or that may conflict with the terms of this Section 10.15; and

(vii) any and all notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty, and any and all notice of the creation, renewal, modification, extension or accrual of the Guaranteed Obligations, or the reliance by Administrative Agent and the Lending Parties upon this Guaranty, or the exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder. The Guaranteed Obligations will conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted, incurred and permitted to exist in reliance upon this Guaranty. Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives promptness, diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment, notice of default, dishonor or nonpayment and all other notices to or upon any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.

133

(g) Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against the Borrowers under any Bankruptcy Law, or otherwise, all such amounts will nonetheless be jointly and severally payable by each Guarantor immediately upon demand by Administrative Agent.

(h) Financial Condition of the Borrowers. No Subsidiary Guarantor will have any right to require Administrative Agent or any Lending Party to obtain or disclose any information with respect to (i) the financial condition or character of the Borrowers or the ability of the Borrowers to pay and perform the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any collateral or other security for any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) the existence or nonexistence of any other guarantees of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, (v) any action or inaction on the part of Administrative Agent or any Lending Party or any other Person or (vi) any other matter, fact or occurrence whatsoever. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby acknowledges that it has undertaken its own independent investigation of the financial condition of the Borrowers and all other matters pertaining to this Guaranty set forth in this Section 10.15 and further acknowledges that it is not relying in any manner upon any representation or statement of Administrative Agent or any Lending Party with respect thereto.

(i) Subrogation. Until the Guaranteed Obligations will be satisfied in full and the Aggregate Commitments will be terminated, no Subsidiary Guarantor will directly or indirectly exercise (i) any rights that it may acquire by way of subrogation under this Section 10.15, by any payment hereunder or otherwise, (ii) any rights of contribution, indemnification, reimbursement or similar suretyship claims arising out of this Section 10.15 or (iii) any other right that it might otherwise have or acquire (in any way whatsoever) that could entitle it at any time to share or participate in any right, remedy or security of Administrative Agent or any Lending Party as against any Borrower or other Guarantors or any other Person, whether in connection with this Section 10.15, any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise.

(j) Subordination. All payments on account of all indebtedness, liabilities and other obligations of any Borrower to any Subsidiary Guarantor or to any other Subsidiary Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether due or to become due, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined (the “Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness”) will be subject, subordinate and junior in right of payment and exercise of remedies, to the extent and in the manner set forth herein, to the prior payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. Subject to Section 7.06, as long as any of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations) will remain outstanding and unpaid, each Subsidiary Guarantor will not accept or receive any payment or distribution by or on behalf of any Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor, directly or indirectly, or assets of any Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor, of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, including on account of the purchase, redemption or other acquisition of Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness, as a result of any collection, sale or other disposition of collateral, or by setoff, exchange or in any other manner, for or on account of the Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness (“Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness Payments”), except that, so long as an Event of Default does not then exist, each Subsidiary Guarantor will be entitled to accept and receive payments on its Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness in accordance with past business practices of such Subsidiary Guarantor and such Borrower (or any

134

other applicable Guarantor) and not in contravention of any Law or the terms of the Loan Documents.

If any Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness Payments will be received in contravention of this Section 10.15, such Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness Payments will be held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lending Parties and will be paid over or delivered to Administrative Agent for application to the payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to give effect to this Section 10.15 after giving effect to any concurrent payments or distributions to Administrative Agent and Lending Parties in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(k) Continuing Guaranty. The Guaranty set forth in this Section 10.15 is a continuing irrevocable guaranty and agreement of subordination and will continue in effect and be binding upon each Subsidiary Guarantor until termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment and performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, including Guaranteed Obligations which may exist continuously or which may arise from time to time under successive transactions, and each Subsidiary Guarantor expressly acknowledges that this Guaranty will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding that there may be periods in which no Guaranteed Obligations exist.

(l) Reinstatement. The Guaranty set forth in this Section 10.15 will continue to be effective or will be reinstated and revived, as the case may be, if, for any reason, any payment of the Guaranteed Obligations by or on behalf of the Borrowers (or receipt of any proceeds of collateral) will be rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, voided or otherwise required to be repaid to the Borrowers, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other Person (including under any Bankruptcy Law), or must otherwise be restored by Administrative Agent or any Lending Party, whether as a result of proceedings under any Bankruptcy Law or otherwise. All losses, damages, costs and expenses that Administrative Agent, or any Lending Party may suffer or incur as a result of any voided or otherwise set aside payments will be specifically covered by the indemnity in favor of Administrative Agent and Lending Parties contained in Section 10.04.

(m) Substantial Benefits. The Credit Extensions provided to or for the benefit of the Borrowers hereunder by Lending Parties have been and are to be contemporaneously used for the benefit of the Borrowers and each Subsidiary Guarantor. It is the position, intent and expectation of the parties that each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor have derived and will derive significant and substantial direct and indirect benefits from the Credit Extensions to be made available by Lending Parties under the Loan Documents.

(n) Knowing and Explicit Waivers. Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges that it either has obtained the advice of legal counsel or has had the opportunity to obtain such advice in connection with the terms and provisions of this Section 10.15. Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that each of the waivers and consents set forth herein is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences, that all such waivers and consents herein are explicit and knowing and that each Subsidiary Guarantor expects such waivers and consents to be fully enforceable.

135

If, while any Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness is outstanding, any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law is commenced by or against any Borrower or its property, Administrative Agent, when so instructed by L/C Issuer, Swing Line Lender and Required Lenders, is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered (in the name of Lending Parties or in the name of any Subsidiary Guarantor or otherwise), but will have no obligation, to demand, xxx for, collect and receive every payment or distribution in respect of all Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness and give acquittances therefor and to file claims and proofs of claim and take such other action (including voting the Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness) as it may deem necessary or advisable for the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights or interests of Administrative Agent and Lending Parties; and each Subsidiary Guarantor will promptly take such action as Administrative Agent (on instruction from L/C Issuer, Swing Line Lender and Required Lenders) may reasonably request: (A) to collect the Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness for the account of the Lending Parties and to file appropriate claims or proofs of claim in respect of the Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness; (B) to execute and deliver to Administrative Agent such powers of attorney, assignments and other instruments as it may request to enable it to enforce any and all claims with respect to the Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness; and (C) to collect and receive any and all Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness Payments.

SECTION 10.16. JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY OF THE BORROWERS.

(a) Joint and Several Liability. Each Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrowers, with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations (including any Obligations arising under this Section 10.16), it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations will be the joint and several obligations of each Borrower without preferences or distinction among them. If and to the extent that any Borrower will fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation.

(b) Liability of the Borrowers. The liability of each Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will be irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional, and will not be affected by any circumstance that might constitute a discharge of a surety or guarantor other than the indefeasible payment and performance in full of all Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Borrower agrees as follows:

(i) such Borrower’s liability hereunder will be the immediate, direct, and primary obligation of such Borrower and will not be contingent upon Administrative Agent’s or any Lending Party’s exercise or enforcement of any remedy it may have against any other Borrower or any other Person, or against any collateral or other security for any Obligations;

(ii) such Borrower’s payment of a portion, but not all, of the Obligations will in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge such Borrower’s liability for any portion of the Obligations remaining unsatisfied; and

136

(iii) such Borrower’s liability with respect to the Obligations will remain in full force and effect without regard to, and will not be impaired or affected by, nor will such Borrower be exonerated or discharged by, any of the following events:

(A) any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law;

(B) any limitation, discharge, or cessation of the liability of any other Borrower or any other Person for any Obligations due to any applicable Law, or any invalidity or unenforceability in whole or in part of any of the Obligations or the Loan Documents;

(C) any merger, acquisition, consolidation or change in structure of any Borrower or any Guarantor or other Person, or any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any or all of the assets or shares of any Borrower or any Guarantor or other Person;

(E) any claim, defense, counterclaim or setoff, other than that of prior performance, that any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person may have or assert, including any defense of incapacity or lack of corporate or other authority to execute any of the Loan Documents;

(F) Administrative Agent’s or any Lending Party’s amendment, modification, renewal, extension, cancellation or surrender of any Loan Document or any Guaranteed Obligations;

(G) Administrative Agent’s or any Lending Party’s exercise or non-exercise of any power, right or remedy with respect to any Obligations or any collateral; or

(H) Administrative Agent’s or any Lending Party’s vote, claim, distribution, election, acceptance, action or inaction in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law.

(c) Insolvency Laws; Right of Contribution.

(i) As used in this Section 10.16(c): (a) the term “Borrower Applicable Insolvency Laws” means the Laws of any Governmental Authority relating to bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment of debts, relief of debtors, dissolution, insolvency, fraudulent transfers or conveyances or other similar laws (including 11 U. S. C. §547, §548, §550 and other “avoidance” provisions of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code) as applicable in any proceeding in which the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Borrower, or any Borrower Specified Lien is in issue; and (b) “Borrower Specified Lien” means any Lien from time to time granted by any Borrower securing the Obligations. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if, in any proceeding, a court of competent jurisdiction determines that with respect to any Borrower, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any Borrower Specified Lien would, but for the operation of this Section 10.16(c), be subject to avoidance and/or recovery or be unenforceable

137

by reason of Borrower Applicable Insolvency Laws, this Agreement, such other Loan Document and each such Borrower Specified Lien will be valid and enforceable against such Borrower only to the maximum extent that would not cause this Agreement, such other Loan Document or such Borrower Specified Lien to be subject to avoidance, recovery or unenforceability. To the extent that any payment to, or realization by, Administrative Agent or any Lending Party on the Obligations exceeds the limitations of this Section 10.16(c) and is otherwise subject to avoidance and recovery in any such proceeding, the amount subject to avoidance will in all events be limited to the amount by which such actual payment or realization exceeds such limitation, and this Agreement as limited will in all events remain in full force and effect and be fully enforceable against such Borrower. This Section 10.16(c) is intended solely to reserve the rights of Administrative Agent and the Lending Parties hereunder against each Borrower, in such proceeding to the maximum extent permitted by Borrower Applicable Insolvency Laws and no Borrower, nor any Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Obligations nor any other Person will have any right, claim or defense under this Section 10.16(c) that would not otherwise be available under Borrower Applicable Insolvency Laws in such proceeding.

(ii) each Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent that any Borrower will have paid an amount hereunder to or on behalf of Administrative Agent and the Lending Parties that is greater than the net value of the benefits received, directly or indirectly, by such paying Borrower as a result of the Credit Extensions and other credit accommodations extended hereunder, such paying Borrower will be entitled to contribution from any Borrower that has not paid its proportionate share, based on benefits received as a result of the making and issuance of the Credit Extensions. Any amount payable as a contribution under this Section 10.16(c) will be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the Borrower seeking contribution and each Borrower acknowledges that the right to contribution hereunder will constitute an asset of such Borrower to which such contribution is owed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 10.16(c) will in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Borrower to Administrative Agent and the Lending Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and each Borrower will remain jointly and severally liable for the full payment and performance of the Obligations.

(d) Consents of the Borrowers. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally consents and agrees that, without notice to or further assent from such Borrower:

(i) the time for any Borrower’s (or any other Person’s) performance of or compliance with any term, covenant or agreement on its part to be performed or observed under any Loan Document may be extended, or such performance or compliance waived, or failure in or departure from such performance or compliance consented to, all in such manner and upon such terms as Administrative Agent and Lending Parties (as applicable under the relevant Loan Documents) may deem proper;

(ii) Administrative Agent and Lending Parties may request and accept other guaranties and may take and hold security as collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, and may, from time to time, in whole or in part, exchange, sell, surrender, release, subordinate, modify, waive, rescind, compromise or extend such other guaranties or security and may permit or consent to any such action or the result of any such action, and may apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof; and

138

(iii) Administrative Agent or Lending Parties may exercise, or waive or otherwise refrain from exercising, any other right, remedy, power or privilege even if the exercise thereof affects or eliminates any right of subrogation or any other right of such Borrower against any other Borrower or against any Guarantor or any other Person.

(e) Suretyship Waivers. Each Borrower hereby waives and agrees not to assert:

(i) any right to require Administrative Agent or any Lending Party to proceed against any other Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person, or to pursue any other right, remedy, power or privilege of Administrative Agent or any Lending Party whatsoever;

(ii) any defense arising by reason of any lack of corporate or other authority or any other defense of any other Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person;

(iii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties, or that may conflict with the terms of this Section 10.16; and

(iv) any notice of the acceptance of its joint and several liability under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Obligations will conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted, incurred and permitted to exist in reliance upon this Section 10.16.

(f) Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against any other Borrower under any Bankruptcy Law, or otherwise, all such amounts will nonetheless be jointly and severally immediately payable by such Borrower.

(g) Financial Condition of Other Borrowers. No Borrower will have any right to require Administrative Agent or any Lending Party to obtain or disclose any information with respect to (i) the financial condition or character of any other Borrower or the ability of any other Borrower to pay and perform the Obligations, (ii) the Obligations, (iii) any collateral or other security for any or all of the Obligations, (iv) the existence or nonexistence of any other guarantees of all or any part of the Obligations or (v) any action or inaction on the part of Administrative Agent or any Lending Party or any other Person. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that it has undertaken its own independent investigation of the financial condition of each other Borrower and further acknowledges that it is not relying in any manner upon any representation or statement of Administrative Agent or any Lending Party with respect thereto.

(h) Subrogation. Until the Obligations will be satisfied in full and the Aggregate Commitments will be terminated, no Borrower will directly or indirectly exercise (i) any rights that it may acquire by way of subrogation under this Section 10.16, by any payment hereunder or otherwise, (ii) any rights of contribution, indemnification, reimbursement or similar suretyship claims arising out of this Section 10.16 or (iii) any other right that it might otherwise have or acquire (in any way whatsoever) that could entitle it at any time to share or participate in any right, remedy or security of Administrative Agent or any Lending Party as against any other

139

Borrower or any Guarantor or other Person, whether in connection with this Section 10.16, any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise.

(i) Subordination. Any claim which any Borrower may have against any other Borrower with respect to any payments to Administrative Agent or any Lending Party hereunder or under any other Loan Documents are hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations and, in the event of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any Borrower, its debts or its assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such Obligations will be paid in full in Cash before any payment or distribution of any character, whether in Cash, securities or other property, will be made to any other Borrower therefore.

(j) Substantial Benefits. The Credit Extensions provided to or for the benefit of the Borrowers hereunder by Lending Parties have been and are to be contemporaneously used for the benefit of each Borrower and each of the other Loan Parties. It is the position, intent and expectation of the parties that each Borrower and each other Loan Party have derived and will derive significant and substantial direct and indirect benefits from the Credit Extensions to be made available by Lending Parties under the Loan Documents.

SECTION 10.17. ADMINISTRATIVE BORROWER.

Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Parent (“Administrative Borrower”) as its agent to act as specified in the Loan Documents, and Administrative Borrower hereby accepts such appointment. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Administrative Borrower to take on its behalf all actions required of such Person under the Loan Documents, and to exercise all powers and to perform all duties of such Person thereunder, including, (a) to submit and receive all certificates, notices, elections and communications and (b) to receive and disburse the proceeds of Loans. Any of the foregoing taken or received by Administrative Borrower on behalf of any Borrower will be deemed for all purposes to have been taken or received by such Borrower and will be binding on such Person to the same extent as if directly taken or received by such Borrower.

SECTION 10.18. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; ETC.

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of law other than New York General Obligations Law 5-1401 and 5-1402.

(b) Submission to Jurisdiction. Each Borrower and each other Loan Party party hereto each irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County in the Borough of Manhattan and of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which each is a party, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding

140

may be heard and determined in such state courts or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, in such Federal courts. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding will be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document will affect any right that Administrative Agent or any Lending Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or any of its properties in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

(c) Waiver of Venue. Each Borrower and each other Loan Party party hereto each irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in subsection (b) of this Section 10.18. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Service of Process. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.02. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law.

SECTION 10.19. JUDGMENT CURRENCY.

If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court or obtaining an order enforcing a judgment, it becomes necessary to convert any amount due under this Agreement in Dollars or in any other currency (hereinafter in this Section 10.19 called the “first currency”) into any other currency (hereinafter in this Section 10.19 called the “second currency”), then the conversion will be made at the rate of exchange at which in accordance with normal banking procedures Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such second currency at Administrative Agent’s close of business on the Business Day next preceding the day on which the judgment is given or (as the case may be) the order is made. Any payment made to Administrative Agent or any Lending Party pursuant to this Agreement in the second currency will constitute a discharge of the obligations of the Borrowers to pay to Administrative Agent and the Lending Parties any amount originally due to Administrative Agent and the Lending Parties in the first currency under this Agreement only to the extent of the amount of the first currency which Administrative Agent and each of the Lending Parties is able, on the date of the receipt by it of such payment in any second currency, to purchase, in accordance with Administrative Agent’s and such Lending Party’s normal banking procedures, with the amount of such second currency so received. If the amount of the first currency falls short of the amount originally due to Administrative Agent and the Lending Parties in the first currency under this Agreement, each Borrower hereby agrees that it will indemnify each of Administrative Agent and each of the Lending Parties against and save each of Administrative Agent and each of the Lending Parties harmless from any shortfall so arising. This indemnity will constitute an obligation of the Borrowers separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Agreement, will give rise to a separate and independent cause of action and will continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum or sums in respect of amounts due to Administrative Agent or any Lending Party under this Agreement or under any such judgment or order. Any such shortfall will be deemed to constitute a loss suffered by each

141

of Administrative Agent and each such Lending Party, as the case may be, and the Borrowers will not be entitled to require any proof or evidence of any actual loss. The covenant contained in this Section 10.19 will survive the payment in full of all of the other Obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 10.20. WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL.

(a) BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDING PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM CONCERNING ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR UNDER ANY AMENDMENT, WAIVER, CONSENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR OTHER AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH IN THE FUTURE MAY BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, OR ARISING FROM ANY FINANCING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM WILL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY. BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDING PARTIES ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT.

(b) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO REPRESENTS THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER AND EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL ON SUCH MATTERS. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.
