All Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their then respective Pro Rata Shares for the Facility, it being understood that, subject to the terms of the Commitment Letter, no Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make a Loan hereunder, nor shall the Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any such failure. The Loans, or any portion thereof, may be either a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Rate Loan, as determined by the Borrower in any Notice of

Borrowing, any Notice of Conversion/Continuation or as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

(ii) The Borrower may not reborrow the Loans following any repayment thereof.

(b) Termination or Reduction of the Commitments. Each Lender’s Commitment shall terminate upon its funding of its Loans on the Closing Date in accordance with this Section 2.1; provided that the foregoing shall not excuse a Defaulting Lender from liability for a failure to fund its Commitment. The Commitments, once terminated pursuant to this Section 2.1(b), may not be increased or reinstated.

(c) Notice of Borrowing. When the Borrower desires to borrow under this Section 2.1, it shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Borrowing, signed by it (i) no later than 12:00 noon (New York time) on the proposed Closing Date, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans and (ii) no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed Closing Date, in the case of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Such Notice of Borrowing shall specify (i) the proposed Closing Date (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the amount of the proposed Borrowing, (iii) whether the proposed Borrowing will be of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, (iv) instructions for the disbursement of the proceeds of the proposed Borrowing and (v) whether such notice is conditioned on (a) the consummation of the Acquisition or (b) the occurrence of any event, the occurrence of which is, at least in part, outside of the reasonable control of the Borrower, and if such notice is so conditioned, a description of such event.

(d) Making of Loans.

(i) Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing under Section 2.1(c), the Administrative Agent shall notify each applicable Lender by facsimile transmission, or other similar form of written transmission, of the proposed Borrowing (which notice to the Lenders, in the case of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans, shall be at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed Closing Date for such Loans). Each Lender shall deposit an amount equal to its applicable Pro Rata Share (if any) of the Borrowing requested by the Borrower with the Administrative Agent at its office in New York, New York, in immediately available funds in Dollars, not later than 12:00 noon (New York time), or in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans for which the Notice of Borrowing was given on such Closing Date, 2:00 p.m. (New York time). Subject to the fulfillment of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.1, the Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such amounts received by it available to the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s office in New York, New York on such Closing Date and shall disburse such proceeds in accordance with the Borrower’s disbursement instructions set forth in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. The failure of any Lender to deposit the amount described above with the Administrative Agent on the Closing Date shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder to make its Loan on such Closing Date. In the event the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.1 are not fulfilled as of the proposed Closing Date for any Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall promptly return,

by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the amount deposited by each Lender to such Lender.

(ii) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans for which the Notice of Borrowing was given on such Closing Date, by 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on such Closing Date) in respect of any Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to fund its Loan requested to be made on such Closing Date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has funded its Loan and is depositing the proceeds thereof with the Administrative Agent on the Closing Date, and the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may, but shall not be obligated to, disburse a corresponding amount to the Borrower on the Closing Date. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the Loan. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing and the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing shall be as requested by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. This Section 2.1(d)(ii) does not relieve any Lender of its obligation to make its Loan on the Closing Date.

(v) In the event that any Lender fails to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Loan requested by the Borrower which such Lender is obligated to fund under the terms of this Agreement (the funded portion of such Loan being hereinafter referred to as a “Non Pro Rata Loan”), until such Defaulting Lender’s cure of such failure the proceeds of all amounts thereafter repaid to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower and otherwise

required to be applied to such Defaulting Lender’s share of all other Obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be advanced to the Borrower or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Defaulting Lender to cure, in full or in part, such failure by such Lender, but shall nevertheless be deemed to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender in satisfaction of such other Obligations.

(A) the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.2(b)(v) shall apply only with respect to the proceeds of payments of Obligations and shall not affect the conversion or continuation of Loans pursuant to Section 5.1(c);

(B) a Lender shall be deemed to have cured its failure to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Loan at such time as an amount equal to such Lender’s original Pro Rata Share of the requested principal portion of such Loan is fully funded to the Borrower, whether made by such Lender itself or by operation of the terms of this Section 4.2(b)(v), and whether or not the Non Pro Rata Loan with respect thereto has been repaid, converted or continued;

(C) amounts advanced to the Borrower to cure, in full or in part, any such Lender’s failure to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Loan (“Cure Loans”) shall bear interest at the Base Rate in effect from time to time, and for all other purposes of this Agreement shall be treated as if they were Base Rate Loans; and

(b) Loan Account. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts (a “Loan Account”) evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amount of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder and under the Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure by any Lender to maintain a Loan Account shall in no way affect the Borrower’s obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the obligation to repay the Obligations.

INTEREST AND FEES

5.1 Interest on the Loans and other Obligations.

(a) Rate of Interest. All Loans and the outstanding principal balance of all other Obligations shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loans are made and such other Obligations are due and payable until paid in full, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.1(d), as follows:

(i) If a Base Rate Loan or an Obligation other than a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Base Rate, as in effect from time to time as interest accrues, plus (B) the then Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans; and

(ii) If a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Eurodollar Rate determined for the applicable Interest Period, plus (B) the then Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Loans.

The applicable basis for determining the rate of interest on the Loans shall be selected by the Borrower at the time a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation is delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, the Borrower may not select the Eurodollar Rate as the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest on such a Loan if at the time of such selection an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default would occur or has occurred and is continuing and further provided that, from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default, each Eurodollar Rate Loan then outstanding may, at the Administrative Agent’s option, convert to a Base Rate Loan. If on any day any Loan is outstanding with respect to which notice has not been timely delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement specifying the basis for determining the rate of interest on that day, then for that day interest on that Loan shall be determined by reference to the Base Rate.

(b) Interest Payments. (i) Interest accrued on each Loan shall be calculated on the last day of each calendar month and shall be payable in arrears (A) on the first day of each calendar month, commencing on the first such day following the making of such Loan, and (B) if not theretofore paid in full, on the maturity date (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Loan.

(ii) Interest accrued on the principal balance of all other Obligations shall be calculated on the last day of each calendar month and shall be payable in arrears (A) on the first day of each calendar month, commencing on the first such day following the incurrence of such Obligation, (B) upon repayment thereof in full or in part, and (C) if not theretofore paid in full, at the time such other Obligation becomes due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

(c) Conversion or Continuation. (i) The Borrower shall have the option (A) to convert at any time all or any part of outstanding Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans; (B) to convert all or any part of outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans having Interest Periods which expire on the same date to Base Rate Loans, on such expiration date; and (C) to continue all or any part of outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans having Interest Periods which expire on the same date as Eurodollar Rate Loans, and the succeeding Interest Period of such continued Loans shall commence on such expiration date; provided, however, no such outstanding Loan may be continued as, or be converted into, a Eurodollar Rate Loan (i) if the continuation of, or the conversion into, would violate any of the provisions of Section 5.2 or (ii) if an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default would occur or has occurred and is continuing. Any conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans under this Section 5.1(c) shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount, except in the case of a conversion into or a continuation of an entire Borrowing of Non Pro Rata Loans.

(ii) To convert or continue a Loan under Section 5.1(c)(i), the Borrower shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to the Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date. A Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall specify (A) the proposed conversion/continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), (B) the principal amount of the Loan to be converted/continued, and (C) whether such Loan shall be converted and/or continued. In lieu of delivering a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the Borrower may give the Administrative Agent telephonic notice of any proposed conversion/continuation by the time required under this Section 5.1(c)(ii), if the Borrower confirms such notice by delivery of the Notice of Conversion/Continuation to the Administrative Agent by facsimile transmission promptly, but in no event later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the same day. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation under this Section 5.1(c)(ii) (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof), the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender by facsimile transmission, or other similar form of transmission, of the proposed conversion/continuation. Any Notice of Conversion/Continuation for conversion to, or continuation of, a Loan (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) given pursuant to this Section 5.1(c)(ii) shall be irrevocable, and the Borrower shall be bound to convert or continue in accordance therewith. In the event no Notice of Conversion/Continuation is delivered as and when specified in this Section 5.1(c)(ii) with respect to outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans, upon the expiration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, such Loans shall automatically be continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans with an Interest Period of three months; provided, however, no such outstanding Loan may be continued as, or be converted into, a Eurodollar Rate Loan (x) if the continuation of, or the conversion into, would violate any of the provisions of Section 5.2 or (y) if an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default would occur or has occurred and is continuing.

(d) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in Section 5.1(a) or elsewhere in this Agreement, effective immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and for as long thereafter as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the principal balance of all Loans and other Obligations shall bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of (A) the Base Rate, as in effect from time to time as interest accrues, plus (B) two percent (2.0%) per annum.

(e) Computation of Interest. Interest on all Obligations shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which interest accrues and a year of 360 days. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of the Loan or the first day of an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be included and the date of payment or the expiration date of an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided, however, if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one (1) day’s interest shall be paid on such Loan.

(f) Eurodollar Rate Information. Upon the reasonable request of the Borrower from time to time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide to the Borrower such information with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate as may be so requested.

5.2 Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans .

(a) Amount of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000.

(b) Determination of Interest Periods. Each interest period relating to the Eurodollar Rate Loans or any portion thereof (each, an “Interest Period”) shall be three months in duration and shall be subject to the following provisions:

(i) In the case of immediately successive Interest Periods, each successive Interest Period shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;

(ii) If any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall be extended to expire on the next succeeding Business Day if the next succeeding Business Day occurs in the same calendar month, and if there will be no succeeding Business Day in such calendar month, the Interest Period shall expire on the immediately preceding Business Day;

(iii) No Interest Period shall extend beyond a date on which the Borrower is required to make a scheduled payment of such portion of principal; and

(iv) There shall be no more than eight (8) Interest Periods in effect at any one time.

(c) Determination of Eurodollar Interest Rate. As soon as practicable on the second Business Day prior to the first day of each Interest Period (the “Eurodollar Interest Rate Determination Date”), the Administrative Agent shall determine (pursuant to the procedures set forth in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate”) the interest rate which shall apply to the Eurodollar Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to each Lender. The Administrative Agent’s determination shall be presumed to be correct, absent manifest error, and shall be binding upon the Borrower and each Lender.

(d) Market Disruption and Alternate Rate of Interest. (i) If at the time that the Administrative Agent shall seek to determine the Screen Rate as provided in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate” herein for any Interest Period for a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans the Screen Rate shall not be available for such Interest Period, then such Borrowing shall be made as a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans at the Base Rate.

(ii) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period:

(A) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate ; or

(B) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Requisite Lenders that the Eurodollar Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan),

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone promptly followed in writing or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (1) any Notice of Conversion/Continuation that requests the conversion of any Eurodollar Rate Loans to, or continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loans for the applicable Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be ineffective and (2) such Borrowing shall be made as a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans.

(e) Illegality. (i) If at any time any Lender determines (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties) that the making, converting, maintaining or continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loan or has become unlawful or impermissible by compliance by that Lender with any law, governmental rule, regulation or order of any Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful or would result in costs or penalties), then, and in any such event, such Lender may give notice of that determination, in writing, to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit the notice to each other Lender.

(ii) When notice is given by a Lender under Section 5.2(e)(i), (A) the Borrower’s right to request from such Lender and such Lender’s obligation, if any, to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be immediately suspended, and such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan as part of any requested Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) if the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans are then outstanding, the Borrower shall immediately, or if permitted by applicable law, no later than the date permitted thereby, upon at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the affected Lender, convert each such Loan into a Base Rate Loan.

(iii) If at any time after a Lender gives notice under Section 5.2(e)(i) such Lender determines that it may lawfully make Eurodollar Rate Loans, such Lender shall promptly give notice of that determination, in writing, to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit the notice to each other Lender. The Borrower’s right to request, and such Lender’s obligation, if any, to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon be restored.

(iv) A Lender may at its option make any Loan (a “Credit Extension”) to the Borrower by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender (any “Lending Office”) to make such Credit Extension; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Credit Extension in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall take all reasonable actions requested by the Lender to mitigate or avoid such illegality.

(f) Compensation. In addition to all amounts required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1 and Article XIII, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon demand, for all losses, expenses to third parties and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans to the Borrower but excluding any loss of Applicable Margin on the relevant Loans, any losses or expenses incurred as the result of such Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction) and any administrative fees incurred in effecting such liquidation or reemployment) which that Lender may sustain (i) if for any reason a Borrowing, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/ Continuation given by the Borrower or in a telephonic request by it for borrowing or conversion/ continuation or a successive Interest Period does not commence after notice therefor is given pursuant to Section 5.1(c), including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 5.2(d), (ii) if for any reason any Eurodollar Rate Loan is prepaid on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period (including pursuant to Section 13.4), (iii) as a consequence of a required conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as a result of any of the events indicated in Section 5.2(d), or (iv) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrower to repay a Eurodollar Rate Loan when required by the terms of this Agreement. The Lender making demand for such compensation shall deliver to the Borrower concurrently with such demand a written statement in reasonable detail as to such losses, expenses and liabilities, and this statement shall be conclusive as to the amount of compensation due to that Lender, absent manifest error.

(g) Booking of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Eurodollar Rate Loans at, to, or for the account of, its Eurodollar Lending Office or Eurodollar Affiliate or its other offices or Affiliates. No Lender shall be entitled, however, to receive any greater amount under Sections 4.2 or 5.2(f) or Article XIII as a result of the transfer of any such Eurodollar Rate Loan to any office (other than such Eurodollar Lending Office) or any Affiliate (other than such Eurodollar Affiliate) than such Lender would have been entitled to receive immediately prior thereto, unless (i) the transfer occurred at a time when circumstances giving rise to the claim for such greater amount did not exist and (ii) such claim would have arisen even if such transfer had not occurred.

(h) Affiliates Not Obligated. No Eurodollar Affiliate or other Affiliate of any Lender shall be deemed a party to this Agreement or shall have any liability or obligation under this Agreement.

(i) Adjusted Eurodollar Rate. Any failure by any Lender to take into account the Eurodollar Reserve Percentage when calculating interest due on Eurodollar Rate Loans shall not constitute, whether by course of dealing or otherwise, a waiver by such Lender of its right to collect such amount for any future period.

5.3 Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a duration fee on the dates and in the amounts indicated below, calculated on the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding on such dates:

provided, however, if any such judgment, writ or warrant of attachment or similar process is in excess of $50,000,000 (other than with respect to Claims arising out of non-recourse Indebtedness), the entry thereof shall immediately constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

either directors at the beginning of such period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved) cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company.

An Event of Default shall be deemed “continuing” until cured or waived in writing in accordance with Section 14.7.

11.2 Rights and Remedies.

(a) Acceleration and Termination. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 11.1(f) or 11.1(g) with respect to the Borrower, the unpaid principal amount of, and any and all accrued interest on, the Obligations and all accrued fees shall automatically become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, or protest or other requirements of any kind (including, without limitation, valuation and appraisement, diligence, presentment, notice of intent to demand or accelerate and of acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the Requisite Lenders, by written notice to the Borrower, declare the unpaid principal amount of and any and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations to be, and the same shall thereupon be, immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, or protest or other requirements of any kind (including, without limitation, valuation and appraisement, diligence, presentment, notice of intent to demand or accelerate and of acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.

(b) Rescission. If at any time after acceleration of the maturity of the Loans, the Borrower shall pay all arrears of interest and all payments on account of principal of the Loans which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on principal and, to the extent permitted by law, on overdue interest, at the rates specified in this Agreement) and all Events of Default and Potential Events of Default (other than nonpayment of principal of and accrued interest on the Loans due and payable solely by virtue of acceleration) shall be remedied or waived pursuant to Section 14.7, then upon the written consent of the Requisite Lenders and written notice to the Borrower, the acceleration and its consequences may be rescinded and annulled; but such action shall not affect any subsequent Event of Default or Potential Event of Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon. The provisions of the preceding sentence are intended merely to bind the Lenders to a decision which may be made at the election of the Requisite Lenders; they are not intended to benefit the Borrower and do not give the Borrower the right to require the Lenders to rescind or annul any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are met.

(c) Enforcement. The Borrower acknowledges that in the event the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries fails to perform, observe or discharge any of their respective obligations or liabilities under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any remedy of law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the other Lenders; therefore, the Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the other Lenders shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

The Borrower hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, any other Agents and the Lenders or any Affiliate thereof with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty arising out of or related to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto.

12.3 Right to Request Instructions. The Administrative Agent and each other Agent may at any time request instructions from the Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of any of the Loan Documents such Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant, and such Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it shall have received such instructions from those Lenders from whom such Agent is required to obtain such instructions for the pertinent matter in accordance with the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such Agent shall take any action, or refrain from taking any action, which is permitted by the terms of the Loan Documents upon receipt of instructions from those Lenders from whom such Agent is required to obtain such instructions for the pertinent matter in accordance with the Loan Documents, provided, that no Holder shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent or any other Agent as a result of such Agent acting or refraining from acting under the Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders or, where required by the express terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the Lenders.

12.4 Reliance. The Administrative Agent and each other Agent shall each be entitled to rely upon any written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. With respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, the Administrative Agent and each other Agent may rely upon advice of legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

12.5 Indemnification. To the extent that the Administrative Agent or any other Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify such Agent solely in its capacity as such Agent and not as a Lender for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, and reasonable costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against it in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under the Loan Documents, in proportion to each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Facilities determined as of the time when such indemnification is sought, unless and to the extent that any such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, and reasonable costs, expenses or disbursements shall arise as a result of such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a non-appealable final judgment. Such Agent agrees to refund to the Lenders any of the foregoing amounts paid to it by the Lenders which amounts are subsequently recovered by such Agent from the Borrower or any other Person on behalf of the Borrower. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 12.5 shall survive the payment in full of the Loans and all other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

12.6 Agents Individually. With respect to their respective Pro Rata Share of the Facilities hereunder, if any, and the Loans made by them, if any, the Administrative Agent and the other Agents shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and are subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender. The terms “Lenders” or “Requisite Lenders” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent and each other Agent in its respective individual capacity as a Lender or as one of the Requisite Lenders. The Administrative Agent and each other Agent and each of their respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries as if they were not acting as Agents pursuant hereto.

12.7 Successor Agents.

(a) Resignation and Removal. Any Arranger or the Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder (including as Administrative Agent) at any time by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Borrower and the other Lenders, unless applicable law requires a shorter notice period or that there be no notice period, in which instance such applicable law shall control (the “Resignation Effective Date”). The Administrative Agent may be removed at the direction of the Requisite Lenders in the event the Administrative Agent shall commit gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of its duties hereunder. Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Administrative Agent of appointment pursuant to this Section 12.7. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b) Appointment by Requisite Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal becoming effective, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, subject to approval by the Borrower provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, selected from among the Lenders.

(c) Appointment by Retiring Agent. If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been appointed within the thirty (30) Business Day or shorter period provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 12.7, the retiring Agent shall then appoint a successor Agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent until such time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above.

(d) Rights of the Successor and Retiring Agents. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article XII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Agent under this Agreement.

12.8 Relations Among the Lenders. Each Lender agrees that it will not take any legal action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, against the Borrower hereunder with respect to any of the Obligations, without the prior written consent of the Lenders. Without limiting the

generality of the foregoing, no Lender may accelerate or otherwise enforce its portion of the Obligations except in accordance with Section 11.2(a).

12.9 Sub-Agents. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

12.10 Independent Credit Decisions. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the extensions of credit made hereunder are commercial loans and not investments in a business enterprise or securities. Each Lender further represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder. Each Lender shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder and in deciding whether or to the extent to which it will continue as a lender or assign or otherwise transfer its rights, interests and obligations hereunder.

ARTICLE XIII

YIELD PROTECTION

13.1 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 13.1) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.

(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 13.1, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 14.1(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the

completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 13.1(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Forms W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Forms W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Forms W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W8ECI, IRS Forms W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-3 or Exhibit H-4, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 13.1 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 13.1), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such

refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 13.1 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes net of any Tax refunds) incurred by such indemnified party with respect to such indemnity payments and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 13.1 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(i) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 13.1, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

13.2 Increased Capital. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company (if any) to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company would have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), and (ii) the amount of such capital or liquidity is increased by or based upon the making or maintenance by any Lender of its Loans, any Lender’s participation in or obligation to participate in the Loans, then, in any such case, upon written demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent) from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. The Borrower shall not be required to pay such additional amounts unless such amounts are the result of requirements imposed generally on lenders similar to such Lender and not the result of some specific reserve or similar requirement imposed on such Lender as a result of such Lender’s special circumstances. Such demand shall be accompanied by a statement as to the amount of such compensation and include a brief summary of the basis for such demand. Such statement shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such statement within 10 days after receipt thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section

for any reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. This Section 13.2 shall survive the repayment of the Obligations for a period of 180 days.

13.3 Changes; Legal Restrictions. If any Change in Law shall:

(a) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its Loans or other Obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(b) impose, modify, or hold applicable, in the determination of a Lender, any reserve (other than reserves taken into account in calculating the Eurodollar Rate), special deposit, liquidity, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, commitments made, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, a Lender or any Applicable Lending Office or Eurodollar Affiliate of that Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to that Lender of making, converting, continuing, renewing or maintaining the Loans or to reduce any amount receivable thereunder; then, in any such case, upon written demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, such amount or amounts as may be necessary to compensate such Lender or its Eurodollar Affiliate for any such additional cost incurred or reduced amount received. Such demand shall be accompanied by a statement as to the amount of such compensation and include a brief summary of the basis for such demand. Such statement shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. This Section 13.3 shall survive the repayment of the Obligations for a period of 180 days.

13.4 Replacement of Certain Lenders. In the event a Lender (a “Designee Lender”) shall have requested additional compensation from the Borrower under Section 13.2 or under Section 13.3, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 13.1, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrower may, at its sole election, (a) make written demand on such

Designee Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) for the Designee Lender to assign, and such Designee Lender shall assign, at par, pursuant to one or more duly executed Assignment and Acceptances to one or more Eligible Assignees which the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall have identified for such purpose, all of such Designee Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes (including, without limitation, all Loans owing to it, but excluding its existing rights to payment under Sections 13.2 or 13.3) in accordance with Section 14.1 (with the Borrower paying any applicable fees associated with such assignment) (provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 13.2 or Section 13.3 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 13.1, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments, (iii) in the case of an assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent, and (iv) a Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply), or (b) repay all Loans owing to the Designee Lender together with interest accrued with respect thereto to the date of such repayment and all fees and other charges accrued or payable and all other Obligations owing to such Designee Lender under the terms of this Agreement for the benefit of the Designee Lender to the date of such repayment. Any such repayment shall be for the sole credit of the Designee Lender and not for any other Lender. Upon delivery of such repayment in immediately available funds as aforesaid, the Designee Lender shall cease to be a Lender under this Agreement. All expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing shall be for the sole account of the Borrower and shall constitute Obligations hereunder. In no event shall Borrower’s election under the provisions of this Section 13.4 affect its obligation to pay the additional compensation required under either Section 13.2 or Section 13.3.

13.5 No Duplication. For the avoidance of doubt, no amount payable by the Borrower to a Recipient pursuant to one of Section 13.1, Section 13.2 or Section 13.3 shall also be payable to the same Recipient pursuant to another of such Sections.

MISCELLANEOUS

14.1 Assignments and Participations.

(a) Assignments. No assignments or participations of any Lender’s rights or obligations under this Agreement shall be made except in accordance with this Section 14.1.

(b) Limitations on Assignments.

(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) and (b)(iii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its

rights and obligations under this Agreement (including the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(A) the Borrower, provided that, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to an assignment unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; provided further that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; and

(B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for the assignment of all or any portion of a Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund and

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with the fee described in Section 14.1(d) below; and

(iii) Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance (in accordance with Section 14.1(d)) and recording in the Register, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance and agreed to by the Administrative Agent, (A) the assignee thereunder shall, in addition to any rights and obligations hereunder held by it immediately prior to such effective date, if any, have the rights and obligations hereunder

that have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have the same rights and benefits hereunder as if it were an original Lender hereunder, (B) the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of such assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the assigning Lender shall cease to be a party hereto except that its rights under Section 14.3 shall survive) and (C) the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the assignee thereunder a Note evidencing its obligations to such assignee with respect to the Loans.

(c) The Register. The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 14.8 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, the principal amount of the Loans owing to each Lender from time to time and whether such Lender is an original Lender or the assignee of another Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Fee. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance (which may be delivered via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (which initially shall be ClearPar, LLC)) executed by the assigning Lender and an Eligible Assignee and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (payable by the assignee to the Administrative Agent), which fee may be waived by the Administrative Agent in its discretion, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in compliance with this Agreement and in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower and the other Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, only a single processing and recordation fee shall be payable in respect of multiple contemporaneous assignments to Approved Funds with respect to any Lender.

(e) Participations. Each Lender may sell participations to one or more other entities (a “Participant”) other than an Ineligible Institution in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under and in respect of any and all facilities under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of any or all of the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (iv) each participation shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, and (v) such participant’s rights to agree or to restrict such Lender’s ability to agree to the modification, waiver or release of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, to consent to any action or failure to act by any party to any of the Loan Documents or any of their respective Affiliates, or to exercise or

refrain from exercising any powers or rights which any Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents, shall be limited to the right to consent to (A) [reserved], (B) reduction of the principal of, or rate or amount of interest on the Loans subject to such participation (other than by the payment or prepayment thereof), (C) postponement of any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loan(s) subject to such participation and (D) release of any guarantor of the Obligations.

Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(f) [Reserved].

(g) Information Regarding the Borrower. Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 14.1, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries furnished to such Lender by the Administrative Agent or by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, such assignee or participant, or proposed assignee or participant, shall agree, in writing, to preserve in accordance with Section 14.20 the confidentiality of any confidential information described therein.

(h) SPC Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (a “SPC”), identified in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the option to purchase from the Granting Lender all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make as provided herein, provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment to purchase any Loan by any SPC, and (ii) if a SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to fund all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to fund such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. Each party hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or payment under this Agreement for which a Lender would otherwise be liable, for so long as, and to the extent, the Granting Lender provides such indemnity or makes such payment. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding Loans of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation

proceedings or similar proceedings under the laws of the United States. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Granting Lender may disclose to a SPC and any SPC may disclose to any Rating Agency or provider of any surety or guarantee to such SPC any information relating to the SPC’s funding of Loans, all on a confidential basis. This clause (h) may not be amended without the prior written consent of each Granting Lender, all or any part of whose Loans are being funded by a SPC at the time of such amendment.

(i) Payment to Participants. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the case of any participation, all amounts payable by the Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be calculated and made in the manner and to the parties required hereby as if no such participation had been sold.

(j) Lenders’ Creation of Security Interests. Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Obligations owing to it and any Note held by it) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or security interest in favor of any Federal Reserve bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board or any other central bank.

14.2 Expenses.

(a) Generally.

To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters incurred by the Indemnitees. No Indemnitee referred to in this Section 14.3 shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection

with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, unless the receipt of such information or materials by the unintended recipient resulted from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a non-appealable final judgment.

14.4 Change in Accounting Principles. If any change in the accounting principles used in the preparation of the most recent financial statements referred to in Sections 8.1 or 8.2 are hereafter required or permitted by the rules, regulations, pronouncements and opinions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board or the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (or successors thereto or agencies with similar functions) and are adopted by any General Partner or the Borrower, as applicable, with the agreement of its independent certified public accountants and such changes result in a change in the method of calculation of any of the covenants, standards or terms found in Article X, the parties hereto agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions so as to equitably reflect such changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating compliance with such covenants, standards and terms by the Borrower shall be the same after such changes as if such changes had not been made; provided, however, no change in GAAP that would affect the method of calculation of any of the covenants, standards or terms shall be given effect in such calculations until such provisions are amended, in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to so reflect such change in accounting principles.

14.5 Setoff. In addition to any Liens granted under the Loan Documents and any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and any Affiliate of any Lender is hereby authorized by the Borrower at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Person (any such notice being hereby expressly waived) to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured (but not including trust accounts)) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender or any of its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of the Obligations of the Borrower to such Lender or any of its Affiliates, including, but not limited to, all Loans and all claims of any nature or description arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, irrespective of whether or not (i) such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or (ii) the Administrative Agent, at the request or with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, shall have declared the principal of and interest on the Loans and other amounts due hereunder to be due and payable as permitted by Article XI and even though such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Each Lender agrees that it shall not, without the express consent of the Requisite Lenders, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of the Requisite Lenders, exercise its setoff rights hereunder against any accounts of the Borrower now or hereafter maintained with such Lender or any Affiliate.

14.6 Ratable Sharing. The Lenders agree among themselves that (i) with respect to all amounts received by them which are applicable to the payment of the Obligations (excluding the fees described in Sections 5.2(f), and 5.3 and Article XIII) equitable adjustment will be made so that, in effect, all such amounts will be shared among them ratably in accordance with their applicable Pro Rata Shares, whether received by voluntary payment, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross-action or by the enforcement of any or all of the

Obligations (excluding the fees described in Sections 5.2(f), and 5.3 and Article XIII), (ii) if any of them shall by voluntary payment or by the exercise of any right of counterclaim, setoff, banker’s lien or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of the Obligations held by it, which is greater than the amount which such Lender is entitled to receive hereunder, the Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (which it shall be deemed to have done simultaneously upon the receipt of such payment) in such Obligations owed to the others so that all such recoveries with respect to such Obligations shall be applied ratably in accordance with their applicable Pro Rata Shares; provided, however, that if all or part of such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such party to the extent necessary to adjust for such recovery, but without interest except to the extent the purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with such recovery. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 14.6 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including, subject to Section 14.5, the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

14.7 Amendments and Waivers.

(a) General Provisions. Unless otherwise provided for or required in this Agreement, no amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be effective without the written agreement of the Requisite Lenders (which the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to grant or withhold in their sole discretion) and the Borrower and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that the Borrower’s agreement shall not be required for any amendment or modification of Sections 12.1 through 12.8. No termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall be effective without the written concurrence of the Requisite Lenders, which the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to grant or withhold in their sole discretion. All amendments, waivers and consents not specifically reserved to the Administrative Agent, the other Agents or the other Lenders in Sections 14.7(b) and 14.7(c), and in other provisions of this Agreement shall require only the approval of the Requisite Lenders.

REQUEST WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS AFTER RECEIPT MAY RESULT IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT CONSENTING OR DENYING CONSENT TO SUCH REQUEST ON YOUR BEHALF.” If such Lender shall have failed to state, in writing, that it either agrees or disagrees (in full or in part) with all such requests (in the case of its statement of agreement, subject to satisfactory documentation and such other conditions it may specify) within ten (10) days after such Lender receives such request, then, such Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to agree or disagree, in full or in part, and in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, to such requests on behalf of such Lender as such Lenders’ attorney-in-fact and to execute and deliver any writing approved by the Administrative Agent which evidences such agreement as such Lender’s duly authorized agent for such purposes.

FORM OF SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE

[ ], [ ]

The undersigned, [ ], the [ ] of Washington Prime Group, L.P. (“Borrower”), is familiar with the properties, businesses, assets and liabilities of the Borrower and is duly authorized to execute this certificate (this “Solvency Certificate”) on behalf of the Borrower.

This Solvency Certificate is delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(e) of the Loan Agreement dated as of [ ], [ ] (the “Loan Agreement”; terms defined therein unless otherwise defined herein being used herein as therein defined) among the Borrower, each lender from time to time party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”) and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent thereunder (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).

As used herein, “Company” means the Borrower and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

1. I, [ ], hereby certify that I am the [ ] of the Borrower and that I am knowledgeable of the financial and accounting matters of the Company, the Loan Agreement and the covenants and representations (financial or otherwise) contained therein and that, as such, I am authorized to execute and deliver this Solvency Certificate on behalf of the Borrower.

2. The undersigned certifies, on behalf of the Borrower and not in his individual capacity, that he has made such investigation and inquiries as to the financial condition of the Company as the undersigned deems necessary and prudent for the purposes of providing this Solvency Certificate. The undersigned acknowledges that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are relying on the truth and accuracy of this Solvency Certificate in connection with the making of Loans under the Loan Agreement.

3. The undersigned certifies, on behalf of the Borrower and not in his individual capacity, that (a) the financial information, projections and assumptions which underlie and form the basis for the representations made in this Solvency Certificate were made in good faith and were based on assumptions reasonably believed by the Borrower to be fair in light of the circumstances existing at the time made; and (b) for purposes of providing this Solvency Certificate, the amount of contingent liabilities has been computed as the amount that, in the light of all the facts and circumstances existing as of the date hereof, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.

BASED ON THE FOREGOING, the undersigned certifies, on behalf of the Borrower and not in his individual capacity, that, on the date hereof, before and after giving effect to the

I-1

Transactions (and the Loans made or to be made and other obligations incurred or to be incurred on the Closing Date):

(i) the fair value of the property of the Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt, property consisting of the residual equity value of the Company’s subsidiaries) is greater than the total amount of liabilities, including contingent liabilities, of the Company;

(ii) the present fair salable value of the assets of the Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt, property consisting of the residual equity value of the Company’s subsidiaries) is greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of the Company on the sum of its debts and other liabilities, including contingent liabilities;

(iii) the Company has not, does not intend to, and does not believe (nor should it reasonably believe) that it will, incur debts or liabilities beyond the Company’s ability to pay such debts and liabilities as they become due (whether at maturity or otherwise);

(iv) the Company does not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the businesses in which it is engaged as such businesses are now conducted (and reflected in the Projections) and are proposed to be conducted following the Closing Date;

(v) the Company is able to pay its debts and liabilities, contingent obligations and other commitments as they mature in the ordinary course of business; and

(vi) the Company is “solvent” within the meaning given to that term and similar terms under the Bankruptcy Code and applicable laws relating to fraudulent transfers and conveyances.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Solvency Certificate as of the first date written above, solely in his capacity as [ ] of the Borrower and not in his individual capacity.
