the Existing Credit Agreement and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall continue to be maintained as Revolving Credit Loans under and governed by this Agreement and (ii) the parties hereto further agree that on the Closing Date, all unpaid Obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement (including without limitation all unpaid interest, fees and expenses) outstanding as of the Closing Date shall be deemed to be owing under and governed by this Agreement.

(b) Revolving Credit Commitment Increases.

(i) In the event that the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments as of the Closing Date is less than the Revolving Credit Maximum Amount, the Borrower shall have the right, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Credit Availability Period, by delivering written notice to the Administrative Agent, to request that the Revolving Credit Commitments be increased by an amount (an “Revolving Credit Commitment Increase”) up to but not exceeding the difference between (x) the Revolving Credit Maximum Amount and (y) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments as of the date of such request for an Revolving Credit Commitment Increase.

(ii) Upon receipt of a written request from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger shall attempt to arrange and syndicate such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, by contacting one or more new lenders (the “New Lenders”) or one or more existing Lenders to determine whether such New Lenders desire to enter into Revolving Credit Commitments, and/or whether any such existing Lender, in its sole discretion, desires to increase the aggregate amount of its Revolving Credit Commitments. Each such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall be arranged and syndicated by the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger, and any New Lenders shall be selected by the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger in consultation with the Borrower. The Administrative Agent’s and the Lead Arranger’s agreements to arrange and syndicate any such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall not be deemed to constitute a commitment, or an offer, to provide, such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase or a representation, direct or implied, that such arrangement and syndication will be successful. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger such fees and expenses in connection with arranging and syndicating each such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, as may be agreed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger, to achieve a successful syndication of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, and no portion of such fees shall be allocable to any persons other than the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger, a Lender increasing the aggregate amount of its Revolving Credit Commitments or the New Lenders, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger. The Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger shall have no liability to the Borrower or the Lenders if the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger are unable to successfully arrange and syndicate any requested Revolving Credit Commitment Increase. The Borrower may request Revolving Credit Commitment Increases on any number of occasions, subject to the conditions and provisions set forth herein. No Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment.

(iii) If the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger are able to successfully arrange and syndicate any requested Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall become effective on the date specified by the Administrative Agent (each such date being referred to a “Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Date”) provided that (x) no Default shall exist on the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Date both before and after giving effect to such proposed Revolving Credit Commitment Increase; (y) the Borrower shall have paid all fees and expenses in connection with the arrangement and syndication of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase; and (z) the Borrower shall have delivered or caused to be delivered to the Administrative Agent any certificates or other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase including amendments to Mortgages and endorsements to title insurance policies or new title insurance policies (if and to the extent it is determined that new title policies are necessary to insure the lien of the Mortgages with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase). In the event the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger shall be unable to successfully arrange and syndicate any requested Revolving Credit Commitment Increase within thirty days of the date of any written request by the Borrower for such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, such request by the Borrower shall be deemed to have expired and the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger shall have no further obligation to continue such arrangement and syndication efforts; provided that the expiration of such thirty-day period shall not limit the Borrower’s right to make one or more additional requests for an Revolving Credit Commitment Increase.

(iv) On each Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Date, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, and subject to the limitations set forth in clause (v) of this Section 2.1(b): (w) each New Lender shall enter into one or more Lender Joinder Agreements or other documents in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and upon execution of such Lender Joinder Agreements or other documents, such New Lender shall be deemed to be a “Lender” under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (x) the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be adjusted to take into account the Revolving Credit Commitments of the New Lenders and the increases, if any, of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the existing Lenders, and (y) each existing Lender who is increasing their Revolving Credit Commitments shall have returned to the Administrative Agent for cancellation its Revolving Credit Note, and the Borrower shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of each New Lender and each existing Lender who is increasing its Revolving Credit Commitments a new Revolving Credit Note, in each case, in the aggregate principal amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment after giving effect to the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase. Each of the Lenders hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to revise Part II of Schedule 2.1 on each Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Date to reflect such increase without an amendment to this Agreement.

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.1(b), in no event shall any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase result in (1) any increase or decrease in the amount of any Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment

without such Lender’s prior written consent, or (2) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments exceeding the Revolving Credit Maximum Amount.

2.2 Loans and Borrowings.

(a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

(b) Subject to Section 2.14 and except with respect to Swing Loans, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any LIBOR Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for a LIBOR Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount at least equal to $500,000 or any greater multiple of $100,000. At the time that each Base Rate Borrowing (other than a Swing Loan) is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is at least equal to $100,000 or any greater multiple of $100,000; provided that (i) a Base Rate Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Revolving Credit Commitments, and (ii) a Base Rate Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans may be in an amount that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.4(e). Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of ten LIBOR Borrowings outstanding.

2.3 Requests for Borrowings.

(a) To request a Borrowing (except requests for Swing Loan Borrowings which are subject to Section 2.8(b)), the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (i) in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided that LIBOR Borrowings shall not be available on the Closing Date unless otherwise consented to by the Administrative Agent in writing, or (ii) in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing not later than 1:00 p.m., New York time, one Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided that any such notice of a Base Rate Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.4(e) may be given not later than 1:00 p.m., New York time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided further that the Borrower shall use Swing Loan Borrowings to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement except to the extent that such Borrowings would cause the aggregate principal balance of all Swing Loans outstanding to exceed the Swing Loan Commitment, in which case the Borrower may use Base Rate Revolving Credit Borrowings to finance such reimbursement, but only to the extent of such excess. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed

promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower.

(b) Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.2:

(i) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing;

(ii) the effective date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether such Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Borrowing or a LIBOR Borrowing;

(iv) in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”;

(v) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.5;

(vi) a detailed calculation of the Senior Leverage Ratio and the Total Leverage Ratio, in each case based on the Senior Debt or the Total Debt (in each case, after giving effect to such Borrowing), as applicable, and EBITDA of the Credit Parties for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters reported in the Compliance Certificate most recently delivered to the Administrative Agent demonstrating that the Senior Leverage Ratio (after giving effect to such Borrowing) shall not exceed the maximum Senior Leverage Ratio permitted under Section 7.10(b) for the fiscal quarter most recently ended and that the Total Leverage Ratio (after giving effect to such Borrowing) shall not exceed the maximum Total Leverage Ratio permitted under Section 7.10(a) for the fiscal quarter most recently ended; provided that for purposes of calculating such ratios (x) prior to the delivery of the first Compliance Certificate required to be delivered hereunder, the Credit Parties shall use EBITDA reported in the last Compliance Certificate provided under the Existing Credit Agreement and (y) for Loans being requested in connection with an Acquisition such ratios shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to the Acquisition as if such Acquisition has occurred at the beginning of the applicable period and after reflecting certain expense deductions in connection with such Acquisition reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; and

(vii) at any time when the outstanding Loans exceed $150,000,000 minus the aggregate amount of all “Net Proceeds” of “Asset Sales” and “Relocations” applied by the Borrower or any of its “Restricted Subsidiaries” after the Closing Date to repay any term “Indebtedness” under any “Credit Facility” or to repay any revolving credit “Indebtedness” under any “Credit Facility” and effect a corresponding commitment reduction under a “Credit Facility” pursuant to Section 4.10 of the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture (all of the foregoing terms in quotation marks are used as defined in the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture), (A) a certification that the Loans, after giving effect to such Borrowing Request, are not incurred in violation of the Senior

Subordinated Note Indenture, including a detailed calculation of the Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture) demonstrating that such Leverage Ratio does not exceed 7.0 to 1 after giving effect to the Borrowing Request and (B) the Borrowing Request therefor must be in writing (and no telephonic Borrowing Requests shall be permitted).

(c) If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested LIBOR Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.3, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

2.4 Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, in addition to the Revolving Credit Loans provided for in Section 2.1(a) and the Swing Loans provided for in Section 2.8(a), the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account or for the account of any of its Subsidiaries which is a Guarantor by an Issuing Lender, in a form reasonably acceptable to such Issuing Lender, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Credit Availability Period. In addition to such form, at the time of such request, the Borrower shall also deliver to the Administrative Agent the information required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(vi) (assuming, for the calculation of the Senior Leverage Ratio and the Total Leverage Ratio, the issuance of the requested Letter of Credit) and, if applicable, Section 2.3(b)(vii). Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall constitute utilization of the Revolving Credit Commitments. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, an Issuing Lender relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or send by telephonic facsimile (fax) (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by such Issuing Lender) to an Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent (two Business Days before the date of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section 2.4), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, whether such Letter of Credit is a documentary or trade Letter of Credit or a standby Letter of Credit, and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by such Issuing Lender, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Lender’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to

represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the aggregate LC Exposure of the Issuing Lender (determined for these purposes without giving effect to the participations therein of the Revolving Credit Lenders pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section 2.4) shall not exceed $5,000,000 and (ii) the total Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the total Revolving Credit Commitments. If the Issuing Lender is not the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent promptly in writing of the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit, with a summary of the pertinent terms thereof and shall provide the Administrative Agent with a copy of such Letter of Credit and related application and any other documentation related thereto. The Administrative Agent shall forward to each Lender a copy of each notice delivered by the Borrower under this Section 2.1(b).

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire (without giving effect to any extension thereof by reason of an interruption of business) at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date 365 days, in the case of standby Letters of Credit, or 180 days, in the case of documentary or trade Letters of Credit, after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, 365 days or 180 days, as applicable, after such renewal or extension) provided that any such Letter of Credit may provide for automatic extensions thereof to a date not later than 365 days, in the case of standby Letters of Credit, or 180 days, in the case of documentary or trade Letters of Credit, beyond its current expiration date, and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. No Letter of Credit may be extended beyond the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) by an Issuing Lender, and without any further action on the part of such Issuing Lender, such Issuing Lender hereby grants to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Lender, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Lender and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.4, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Lender shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse (each a “Reimbursement Obligation”) such Issuing Lender in respect of such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 1:00 p.m., New York time, on (i) the

Business Day that the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement, if such notice is received prior to 11:00 a.m., New York time; or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time, provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.3 that such payment be financed with a Revolving Credit Base Rate Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Credit Base Rate Borrowing.

If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.5 with respect to Revolving Credit Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.5 shall apply to the payment obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders, treating each such payment as a Loan for this purpose), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Lender or, to the extent that the Revolving Credit Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Lender, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Lender as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Lender for any LC Disbursement shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute.

(i) The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.4 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, or any term or provision therein, (B) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (C) payment by the Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply strictly with the terms of such Letter of Credit and (D) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.4, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

(ii) Neither the Administrative Agent, any Lender nor Issuing Lender, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit by the Issuing Lender or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in clause (f)(i) above), or any error, omission, interruption, loss

or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Lender; provided that nothing in this Section 2.4 shall be construed to excuse the Issuing Lender from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. Subject in all respects to the foregoing, the parties hereto expressly agree that:

(A) the Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and may make payment upon presentation of documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

(B) the Issuing Lender shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to decline to accept such documents and to decline to make such payment if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and

(C) this clause (f)(ii) shall establish the standard of care to be exercised by the Issuing Lender when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof (and the parties hereto hereby waive, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any standard of care inconsistent with the foregoing).

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Lender shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under any Letter of Credit. The Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Lender has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Lender and the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of any Letter of Credit, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Revolving Credit Base Rate Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.4, then interest calculated in accordance with Section 2.13(c) shall accrue on the unpaid amount thereof. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Lender, except that interest

accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.4 to reimburse the Issuing Lender shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Cash Collateralization. If either (i) an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, or (ii) the Borrower shall be required to provide cover for LC Exposure pursuant to Section 2.10(a) or 2.11(b), the Borrower shall immediately deposit with the Issuing Lender an amount in cash equal to, in the case of an Event of Default, the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon and, in the case of cover pursuant to Section 2.10(a) or 2.11(b), the amount required under Section 2.10(a) or 2.11(b), as the case may be; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in clause (g) or (h) of Section 8.1. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral in the first instance for the LC Exposure under this Agreement and thereafter for the payment of any other obligations of the Credit Parties hereunder.

2.5 Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan (other than a Swing Loan) to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York time to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans (other than Swing Loans) available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that (i) Revolving Credit Base Rate Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement under any Letter of Credit as provided in Section 2.4(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Lender and (ii) Revolving Credit Base Rate Loans made to finance the refunding of Swing Loans as provided in Section 2.8(d)(i) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Swing Loan Lender.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing (other than a Swing Loan Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 2.5 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. 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 if the applicable Lender fails to pay immediately upon demand, the Borrower) agrees 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 the Federal Funds Effective Rate. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Nothing in this Section 2.5 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation

to fulfill its Commitments to the extent required by this Agreement or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

2.6 Interest Elections.

(a) Each Borrowing (other than a Swing Loan Borrowing) initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.6; provided however, that notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.6, no Swing Loan shall be converted from a Base Rate Borrowing to a LIBOR Borrowing. The Borrower may elect different options for continuations and conversions with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.6, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.3(a) if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request signed by the Borrower.

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

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

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

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Borrowing or a LIBOR Borrowing; and

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

If any such Interest Election Request requests a LIBOR Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

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

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a LIBOR Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a LIBOR Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each LIBOR Borrowing shall be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

(f) The Borrower shall not be obligated to deliver a Borrowing Request in connection with any election to convert any Borrowing to a different Type or to continue any Borrowing or, in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing, any election of an Interest Period therefor pursuant this Section 2.6.

2.7 Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Unless previously terminated in accordance with the terms hereof, the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate at the close of business on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

(b) The Borrower may at any time or from time to time reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments or the Swing Loan Commitment; provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments or the Swing Loan Commitment shall be in an amount that is at least equal to $500,000 or any greater multiple of $100,000, and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce (A) the Revolving Credit Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent repayment in accordance with Section 2.10 or prepayment in accordance with Section 2.11 of the Loans, the total Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the total Revolving Credit Commitments or (B) the Swing Loan Commitment if, after giving effect to any concurrent repayment of the Swing Loans in accordance with Section 2.10 or prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swing Loans would exceed the Swing Loan Commitment, after giving effect to such termination or reduction.

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments or the Swing Loan Commitment under paragraph (b) of this Section 2.7 at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of any Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

Any termination or reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Swing Loan Commitment shall be permanent. Each reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made ratably among the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments.

2.8 Swing Loan Facility.

(a) The Swing Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, upon notice by the Borrower made to the Swing Loan Lender in accordance with Section 2.8(b)(i), the Swing Loan Lender hereby agrees to make Swing Loans to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period between the Closing Date and the Business Day immediately prior to the expiration of the Revolving Credit Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the Swing Loan Commitment. The Swing Loans shall be payable with interest accrued thereon on the Business Day immediately prior to the expiration of the Revolving Credit Availability Period. Amounts borrowed by the Borrower under this Section 2.8 may be repaid and reborrowed, subject to the conditions hereof. At the time that each Swing Loan Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is at least equal to $100,000 or any greater multiple of $100,000. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement and in addition to the Swing Loan Commitment limitation set forth above at no time shall the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swing Loans (after giving effect to all amounts requested and the application of the proceeds thereof) plus (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans (after giving effect to all amounts requested and the application of the proceeds thereof), plus (iii) the aggregate LC Exposure, exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of all the Lenders; provided, however, that subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 2.8(a) from time to time the ratio of (x) the sum of the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of the Swing Loan Lender (both in its capacity as the Swing Loan Lender and in its capacity as a Revolving Credit Lender) to (y) the sum of the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of all Lenders (including the Swing Loan Lender both in its capacity as the Swing Loan Lender and in its capacity as a Revolving Credit Lender) may exceed its Applicable Percentage.

(b) Requests for Swing Loans.

(i) When the Borrower desires the Swing Loan Lender to make a Swing Loan, it shall send to the Administrative Agent and the Swing Loan Lender a written request (or telephonic notice, if thereafter promptly confirmed in writing) (a “Swing Loan Request”), which request shall set forth (x) the principal amount of the proposed Swing Loan, and (y) the proposed date of Borrowing of such Swing Loan (which date shall be a Business Day). Each such Swing Loan Request must be received by the Swing Loan Lender not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the proposed date of Borrowing of the Swing Loan being requested. Each Swing Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to borrow the Swing Loan from the Swing Loan Lender on the proposed date of Borrowing.

(ii) Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in this Agreement, at or before the close of business on the proposed date of Borrowing, the Swing Loan Lender shall make the Swing Loan available to the Borrower by crediting

the amount of the Swing Loan to an account designated by the Borrower to the Swing Loan Lender; provided that Swing Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement under any Letter of Credit as provided in Section 2.4(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Lender.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Swing Loan Lender shall not advance any Swing Loans after it has received notice from any Lender or any Credit Party that a Default has occurred and is continuing and stating that no new Swing Loans are to be made until such Default has been cured or waived in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(c) Interest on Swing Loans. Each Swing Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan and shall bear interest for the account of the Swing Loan Lender thereof until repaid in full at the rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans. The Borrower promises to pay interest on the Swing Loans in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect thereto. All such interest payable with respect to the Swing Loans shall be payable for the account of the Swing Loan Lender.

(d) Refundings of Swing Loans; Participations in Swing Loans.

(i) The Swing Loan Lender, at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swing Loan Lender to act on its behalf) request each Revolving Credit Lender, including the Swing Loan Lender, in its capacity as a Revolving Credit Lender, to make a Revolving Credit Loan in an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of the Swing Loans (the “Refunded Swing Loans”) outstanding on the date such notice is given. Upon such request, unless any of the Events of Default described in Section 8.1 (g) or (h) shall have occurred (in which event the procedures of Section 2.8(d)(ii) shall apply), each Revolving Credit Lender shall make the proceeds of its Revolving Credit Loan available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swing Loan Lender, at the Administrative Agent’s office prior to 11:00 a.m. New York time in funds immediately available on the Business Day next succeeding the date such notice is given. The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans shall be immediately applied to repay the Refunded Swing Loans.

(ii) If, prior to the making of a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to Section 2.8(d)(i), an Event of Default described in Section 8.1 (g) or (h) shall have occurred, each Revolving Credit Lender will, on the date such Revolving Credit Loan was to have been made, purchase an undivided participation interest in the Refunded Swing Loan in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of such Refunded Swing Loan. Each Revolving Credit Lender will immediately transfer to the Swing Loan Lender, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation in such Refunded Swing Loan.

(iii) Whenever, at any time after the Swing Loan Lender has received from any Revolving Credit Lender such Revolving Credit Lender’s participation interest in a Refunded Swing Loan pursuant to Section 2.8(d)(ii) above, the Swing Loan Lender

receives any payment on account thereof, the Swing Loan Lender will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its participation interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Credit Lender’s participation interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Loan Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Credit Lender will return to the Swing Loan Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Swing Loan Lender to it as such payment is required to be returned by the Swing Loan Lender.

(iv) If any Revolving Credit Lender does not make available to the Swing Loan Lender any amounts for the purpose of refunding a Swing Loan pursuant to Section 2.8(d)(i) above or to purchase a participation interest in a Swing Loan pursuant to Section 2.8(d)(ii) above (any such amounts payable by any Revolving Credit Lender being referred to herein as “Refunding or Participation Amounts”) on the applicable due date with respect thereto, then the applicable Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Swing Loan Lender forthwith on demand such Refunding or Participation Amounts with interest thereon for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Swing Loan Lender but excluding the date of payment to the Swing Loan Lender, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. If such Lender pays such amount to the Swing Loan Lender, then such amount shall constitute such Revolving Credit Lender’s Loan included in such refunding Borrowing or the consideration for the purchase of such participation interest, as the case may be.

(v) The failure or refusal of any Revolving Credit Lender to make available to the Swing Loan Lender at the aforesaid time and place the amount of its Refunding or Participation Amounts (x) shall not relieve any other Revolving Credit Lender from its several obligations hereunder to make available to the Swing Loan Lender the amount of such other Revolving Credit Lender’s Refunding or Participation Amounts and (y) shall not impose upon such other Revolving Credit Lender any liability with respect to such failure or refusal or otherwise increase the Revolving Credit Commitment of such other Revolving Credit Lender.

(vi) Each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees that its obligation to make available to the Swing Loan Lender its Refunding or Participation Amount as described above shall (except to the extent expressly set forth in Section 2.8(d)(iv)) be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Credit Lender may have against the Swing Loan Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of any Default, the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments or any other condition precedent whatsoever, (C) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Credit Party or any other Person, (D) any breach of any of the Loan Documents by any of the Credit Parties or any other Lender, or (E) any other circumstance, happening or event, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that the obligation of each Revolving Credit Lender to make available to the Swing Loan Lender its Refunding or Participation Amount in respect of any Swing Loan is subject to the condition that the Swing Loan Lender believes in good faith that all conditions under Section 5.2 were

satisfied at the time such Swing Loan was made; provided further that the Swing Loan Lender shall have been deemed to have believed in good faith that such conditions were satisfied unless, prior to the making of such Swing Loan, either (1) the Swing Loan Lender shall have received notice from any other Lender or any Credit Party that a Default existed as such time, or (2) the most recent Compliance Certificate received from the Borrower indicating that a Default has occurred and is continuing and, in either case, such Default had not been cured or waived at the time of the making of such Swing Loan.

2.9 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender or the Issuing Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or the Issuing Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender or the Issuing Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder, or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender or the Issuing Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender or the Issuing Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or the Issuing Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or the Issuing Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.4), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving Credit Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Lender), which consents shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans (and participations in LC Disbursements), accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. 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.

(c) If a Lender refuses to consent to an amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement that, pursuant to Section 10.2, requires consent of 100% of the Lenders (any such

Lender, a “Subject Lender”), so long as (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Borrower has obtained a written commitment from another Lender or an Eligible Assignee to purchase at par (plus accrued interest, fees and other amounts payable to the Subject Lender hereunder) the Subject Lender’s Loans and assume the Subject Lender’s Commitments and all other obligations of the Subject Lender hereunder, (ii) such Lender is not an Issuing Lender with respect to any Letters of Credit outstanding (unless all such Letters of Credit are terminated or arrangements satisfactory to such Issuing Lender (such as a “back-to-back” letter of credit) are made), (iii) Lenders having Loans, LC Exposure and unused Commitments of at least 66-2/3% of the total Loans, LC Exposure and unused Commitments of all Lenders have so consented and (iv) if applicable, the Subject Lender is unwilling to withdraw its refusal to consent within 2 Business Days after receipt by the Subject Lender and Administrative Agent of a written request to do so from the Borrower, the Borrower may require the Subject Lender to assign all of its Loans and Commitments to such other Lender, Lenders, Eligible Assignee or Eligible Assignees pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.4, provided that, prior to or concurrently with such replacement, (1) the Borrower has paid to the Subject Lender all amounts required to be paid to such Lender under this Agreement through the effective date of the assignment, (2) the processing fee required to be paid by Section 10.4(b)(iv) shall have been paid by the Borrower or the Assignee to Administrative Agent, (3) all of the requirements for such assignment contained in Section 10.4, including the consent of Administrative Agent (if required) and the receipt by Administrative Agent of an executed Assignment and Acceptance Agreement (which each Subject Lender shall be obligated to provide with respect to its interest in the Loans in connection with the Borrower’s exercise of its rights under this subsection) and other supporting documents, have been fulfilled and (4) each assignee shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Subject Lender refused to consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing no Subject Lender shall be obligated to assign its Loans unless such Subject Lender receives payment of the purchase price and all other amounts described in clause (i) above as a condition to such assignment.

2.10 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender the then unpaid principal amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. In addition, if following any reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments or at any other time the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure shall exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall first, to repay the Swing Loans, second, to repay the Revolving Credit Loans, and third, to provide cover for LC Exposure as specified in Section 2.4(i), in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. If at any time the aggregate principal amount of Swing Loans outstanding exceeds the Swing Loan Commitment, then the Borrower shall forthwith repay Swing Loans then outstanding in an amount equal to such excess, together with accrued interest.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(c) The Administrative Agent (or in the case of the Swing Loans, the Swing Loan Lender ) shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section 2.10 shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein absent manifest error; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Prior to the Closing Date or if any Lender enters into a Commitment after the Closing Date on the date of such Commitment, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to each Revolving Credit Lender, a Revolving Credit Note in the principal amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. Thereafter, the Loans of each Lender evidenced by each such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.4) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns) unless, in connection with an assignment of all or any portion of a promissory note and interest thereon, the assignee informs the Administrative Agent in writing that it does not wish that its Loans be evidenced by promissory notes. Prior to the Closing Date, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to the Swing Loan Lender the Swing Loan Note in the principal amount of the Swing Loan Commitment.

2.11 Prepayment of Loans.

(a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing (including any Swing Loan Borrowing) in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (other than LIBOR Loan breakage costs as provided in Section 2.16), subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section 2.11 and provided that each such prepayment shall be in an amount that is at least equal to $500,000 or any greater multiple of $100,000 or any lesser amount remaining outstanding. Each prepayment of Loans shall be applied in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 2.11.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments. The Borrower shall make prepayments of the Revolving Credit Loans hereunder (and reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder to the extent provided below in clauses (i) and (ii)) as follows:

(i) Sale of Assets. Without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to obtain the consent of the Required Lenders to any Disposition not otherwise permitted hereunder, the Borrower agrees, on or prior to the occurrence of any Disposition or series of Dispositions by any Credit Party with aggregate Net Cash Payments in excess of $3,500,000 in any fiscal year, to deliver to the Administrative Agent a statement certified by a Financial Officer of the Borrower, in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the

Administrative Agent, of the estimated amount of the Net Cash Payments of such Disposition that will (on the date of such Disposition) be received by any Credit Party in cash, indicating on such certificate, whether the Borrower intends to reinvest such Net Cash Payments or will be prepaying the Loans, as hereinafter provided, and the Borrower will be obligated to either (A) reinvest such Net Cash Payments within 170 days after receipt into assets used in a Permitted Line of Business pursuant to one or more Capital Expenditures permitted hereunder or Acquisitions permitted hereunder; provided that no reinvestment of Net Cash Payments shall be permitted under this clause (A): (x) for the acquisition of fee interests in real property (excluding any real property received or acquired in any Acquisition or Relocation) in excess of $5,000,000 made in the aggregate after the Closing Date or (y) if and to the extent that such Net Cash Payments would be required to be used to repay any Subordinated Indebtedness or Holding Company Debt or purchase or repurchase any notes issued thereunder or (B) prepay the Loans hereunder (and provide cover for LC Exposure as specified in Section 2.4(i)), and the Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder shall be subject to automatic reduction, as follows:

(x) within one Business Day after the date of such Disposition, or on the date (the “Reinvestment Date”) which is 170 days after such date if the Borrower had indicated on the certificate delivered as hereinabove required that it intended to reinvest the Net Cash Payments of such Disposition, in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such estimated or non-reinvested (as applicable) amount of such Net Cash Payments, to the extent received (and not reinvested as provided above) by any Credit Party in cash on the date of such Disposition or, if applicable, the Reinvestment Date; and

(y) thereafter, quarterly, on the date of the delivery by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.1 of the financial statements for any quarterly fiscal period or fiscal year, to the extent any Credit Party shall receive Net Cash Payments during the quarterly fiscal period ending on the date of such financial statements in cash under deferred payment arrangements or Disposition Investments entered into or received in connection with any Disposition, an amount equal to (A) 100% of the aggregate amount of such Net Cash Payments minus (B) any transaction expenses associated with Dispositions and not previously deducted in the determination of Net Cash Payments plus (or minus, as the case may be) (C) any other adjustment received or paid by any Credit Party pursuant to the respective agreements giving rise to Dispositions and not previously taken into account in the determination of the Net Cash Payments.

(ii) Proceeds of Casualty Events. Upon the date 180 days following the receipt by any Credit Party of the proceeds of insurance, condemnation awards or other compensation in respect of any Casualty Event affecting any property of any Credit Party (or upon such earlier date as such Credit Party, as the case may be, shall have determined not to repair or replace the property affected by such Casualty Event), to the extent of Net Cash Payments in excess of $250,000 per occurrence and $500,000 for all

occurrences after the Closing Date (except that such exclusions shall not apply after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default) the Borrower shall prepay the Loans (and provide cover for LC Exposure as specified in Section 2.4(i)), and, if applicable, the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be subject to automatic reduction, in an aggregate amount, if any, equal to 100% of the Net Cash Payments from such Casualty Event not theretofore applied or committed to be applied to the repair or replacement of such property (it being understood that if Net Cash Payments committed to be applied are not in fact applied within 360 days after receipt thereof, then such Net Cash Payments shall be applied to the prepayment of Loans, cover for LC Exposure and, reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments as provided in this clause (ii) at the expiration of such 360-day period), such prepayment and reduction to be effected in each case in the manner and to the extent specified in paragraph (c) of this Section 2.11.

(iii) Asset Sale Proceeds Otherwise Required to Pay Subordinated Debt. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (A) in the event any radio or television station owned by any Credit Party is sold, as permitted by paragraph (f) of Section 7.4, during the continuance of any Event of Default, all Net Cash Payments shall be applied in the manner specified in paragraph (c) of this Section 2.11, and (B) in the event that any of the Credit Parties shall have consummated (I) any “Asset Sale” (as defined in the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture), (II) any “Asset Sale” (as defined in the Media Holdings Discount Notes Indenture), (III) prior to the Alta Repayment Date, any “Sale of the Company” (as defined in the Holdings Securities Purchase Documents) or (IV) any asset sale or similar term as defined in the documents governing any Holding Company Debt incurred in accordance with Section 7.15(a)(iv) that, in any case, would not be deemed a Disposition requiring a prepayment under this Section 2.11(b), in any such case, the Credit Parties shall nonetheless prepay the Loans to the extent that the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture, the Media Holdings Discount Notes Indenture, prior to the Alta Repayment Date, the Holdings Securities Purchase Documents or the documents governing such other Holding Company Debt would require any prepayment or redemption of the Senior Subordinated Notes or any Holding Company Debt or warrants issued by any Holding Company pursuant to the Media Holdings Discount Notes Indenture, the Holdings Securities Purchase Documents or the documents governing such other Holding Company Debt, respectively. Prepayments of Loans (and cover for LC Exposure) and reductions of Revolving Credit Commitments shall be effected in each case in the manner and to the extent specified in paragraph (c) of this Section 2.11.

(iv) Proceeds of Senior Subordinated Notes. On the date of the incurrence by the Borrower of any Indebtedness under the proviso to Section 7.1(k), the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a statement certified by a Financial Officer, in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, of the estimated amount of the net cash proceeds (net of all legal, underwriting and other fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the incurrence of such Indebtedness) from such incurrence of such Indebtedness that will (on the date of such incurrence of Indebtedness) be received by the Borrower and the Borrower will, prepay the Loans hereunder (and provide cover for LC Exposure as specified in Section 2.4(i)), with no reduction of the Commitments hereunder, on the date of such incurrence of Indebtedness,

in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (A) 100% of the net cash proceeds (net of all legal, underwriting and other fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the incurrence of such Indebtedness) from such incurrence of Indebtedness received by the Borrower and (B) the sum of the aggregate amount of Loans outstanding plus LC Exposure then in effect, and such prepayment (other than the amount provided to cover LC Exposure) shall be shared and applied ratably among the Revolving Credit Lenders in proportion to their respective Revolving Credit Commitments (with no reduction to the Commitments).

(v) Proceeds of Media Holdings Discount Notes. On the date of the incurrence by Media Holdings of any Indebtedness under the Media Holdings Discount Notes, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a statement certified by a financial officer of the Borrower, in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, of the estimated amount of the net cash proceeds (net of all legal, underwriting and other fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the incurrence of such Indebtedness) from such incurrence of such Indebtedness that will (on the date of such incurrence of Indebtedness) be received by Media Holdings and the Borrower will prepay the Loans hereunder (and provide cover for LC Exposure as specified in Section 2.4(i)), with no reduction of the Commitments hereunder, on the date of such incurrence of Indebtedness, in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (A) 100% of the net cash proceeds (net of all legal, underwriting and other fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the incurrence of such Indebtedness) from such incurrence of Indebtedness received by Media Holdings or (B) the sum of the aggregate amount of Loans outstanding plus LC Exposure then in effect, and such prepayment (other than the amount provided to cover LC Exposure) shall be shared and applied ratably among the Revolving Credit Lenders in proportion to their respective Revolving Credit Commitments (with no reduction to the Commitments).

(vi) Qualifying IPO Prepayment. On the Qualifying IPO Closing Date or within one Business Day thereafter, the Borrower will prepay the Loans hereunder (and provide cover for LC Exposure as specified in Section 2.4(i)), with no reduction of the Commitments hereunder, in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (A) the amount described in clause (d) of the definition of Qualifying IPO Funding Transactions or (B) the sum of the aggregate amount of Loans outstanding plus LC Exposure then in effect, and such prepayment (other than the amount provided to cover LC Exposure or to prepay the Swing Loans) shall be shared and applied ratably among the Revolving Credit Lenders in proportion to their respective Revolving Credit Commitments (with no reduction to the Commitments).

Subject to the preceding sentence and subject to the prepayment made pursuant to the subsections (b)(iv), (v) and (vi) of this Section being applied in accordance with such subsections (with no reduction to the Commitments), in the event of any optional prepayment of

Borrowings pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section, or any mandatory prepayment of Loans pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section, the proceeds shall be applied as follows:

(i) first, to the extent that a repayment of Swing Loans shall at such time be required pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.10(a), to the repayment of Swing Loans, but only to such extent (with no reduction in the Commitments);

(ii) second, to the extent that Revolving Credit Exposure shall at such time exceed the total Revolving Credit Commitments, such prepayment shall be applied to the repayment of Revolving Credit Loans to be shared and applied ratably among the Revolving Credit Lenders in proportion to their respective Revolving Credit Commitments (with no reduction to the Commitments); and

(iii) third, (A) the amount of any optional prepayment shall be applied first, to the repayment of Swing Loans and, second, to the repayment of Revolving Credit Loans, and (B) the amount of any mandatory prepayment shall be applied first, to the repayment of Swing Loans and, second, to the repayment of Revolving Credit Loans and, third, to provide cover for LC Exposure, and, in the case of clause (B), to the simultaneous permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments, in each case to be shared and applied ratably among the Revolving Credit Lenders in proportion to their respective Revolving Credit Commitments.

(d) Notification of Prepayments. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment under Sections 2.11(a) or 2.11(b) not later than 1:00 p.m., New York time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, except that prepayments of Base Rate Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(a) may be made upon one Business Day’s notice. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment of Swing Loans under Sections 2.11(a) or 2.11(b) not later than 1:00 p.m., New York time, on the date of such prepayment, which date shall be a Business Day. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of Revolving Credit Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.7(c), then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.7. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing (other than a Swing Loan Borrowing), the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing under paragraph (a) of this Section 2.11 (other than a Swing Loan Borrowing) shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.2.

(e) Prepayments Accompanied by Interest. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Sections 2.8(b) or 2.13.

2.12 Fees.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the percentage

set forth below opposite the Commitment Utilization Percentage with respect to each day (the “Commitment Fee Rate”) of the daily unused amount of the respective Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender (excluding with respect to the Swing Loan Lender the amount of any Swing Loans) during the period from and including the date on which the Effective Time shall occur to but excluding the date on which such Revolving Credit Commitment terminates:


Commitment Utilization Percentage		Commitment Fee Rate
Less than 50%		0.500%
Greater than or equal to 50%		0.375%

provided, however, that if the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans on any date would be 1.500% per annum (or 1.250% per annum after the Qualifying IPO Closing Date), as determined in accordance with the definition of “Applicable Margin”, then the Commitment Fee Rate for such day shall be 0.375% notwithstanding the amount of the Commitment Utilization Percentage; provided further that if the Commitment Fee Rate is determined by the operation of the immediately preceding proviso then upon delivery by the Borrower of the Compliance Certificate concurrently with the delivery of the annual financial statements required by Section 6.1(a), the Commitment Fee Rate shall be adjusted retroactively, as and when the Applicable Margin is so adjusted, based on the calculation of the Total Leverage Ratio pursuant to such certificate and financial statements to the extent that the Total Leverage Ratio so calculated differs from the Total Leverage Ratio calculated based on the Compliance Certificate delivered concurrently with the quarterly financial statements for the fourth fiscal quarter of the preceding fiscal year required by Section 6.1(b). In the event of a retroactive adjustment in the determination of the Commitment Fee Rate in favor of the Borrower, the amount of commitment fee thereby refundable to the Borrower shall be applied on the date of such retroactive adjustment, to prepay the commitment fee payable on the Revolving Credit Loans on a pro rata basis, thus permitting the Borrower to deduct such amount from its next commitment fee payment. If the retroactive adjustment is in favor of the Lenders, the amount of commitment fee due to the Lenders shall be paid in full to the Administrative Agent within five (5) days after written notice of such adjustment is provided to the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall include a request for any downward adjustment of the Commitment Fee Rate with, or as part of, the Compliance Certificate concurrently with the delivery by the Borrower of the annual financial statements required by Section 6.1(a) and, in any event, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be required to make any downward adjustment until a request of the Borrower shall have been received and unless such request is received within three months after the date of delivery of such Compliance Certificate. Except as set forth above, the Commitment Fee Rate shall be calculated on each Quarterly Date for each day occurring during the fiscal quarter then ending.

(b) Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on each Quarterly Date and on the date such Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin then used in determining interest on Revolving Credit LIBOR Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment terminates and the date on which there shall no longer be any Letters of Credit outstanding hereunder, and

(ii) to the Issuing Lender (x) a fronting fee for its own account, equal to 0.25% per annum on the face amount of each Letter of Credit, payable in arrears on each Quarterly Date, and (y) the Issuing Lender’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder.

Accrued participation fees shall be payable in arrears on each Quarterly Date and on the date the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof, provided that any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(d) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed in writing between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(e) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances, absent manifest error in the determination thereof.

2.13 Interest.

(a) The Loans comprising each Base Rate Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) The Loans comprising each LIBOR Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) all amounts which are not paid when due shall bear interest until paid in full at the Post-Default Rate and (ii) during the period when any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, immediately upon the delivery of written notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower at the request of the Required Lenders the principal of all Loans hereunder shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at the Post-Default Rate.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any LIBOR Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment, (iii) in the event of any conversion of any LIBOR Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion and (iv) all accrued interest on all Loans shall be payable upon expiration of the Revolving Credit Commitments.

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

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the aggregate interest, fees and other amounts required to be paid by the Borrower to the Lenders or any Lender hereunder are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever whether by reason of acceleration of maturity of the Indebtedness evidenced hereby or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders or any Lender for the use or the forbearance of the Indebtedness evidenced hereby exceed the maximum permissible under applicable law. If under or from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any of the other Loan Documents at the time of performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of such validity prescribed by applicable law then the obligation to be fulfilled shall automatically be reduced to the limits of such validity and if under or from circumstances whatsoever the Lenders or any Lender should ever receive as interest any amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, the amount of such interest that is excessive shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Indebtedness evidenced hereby and not to the payment of interest. This provision shall control every other provision of this Agreement and all provisions of every other Loan Document.

2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBOR Borrowing:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the affected Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and such Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any such Borrowing to, or continuation of any such Borrowing as, a LIBOR Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a LIBOR Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Borrowing.

2.15 Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Lender; or

(ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any LIBOR Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Lender of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender or the Issuing Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued the Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender, or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.15 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive so long as it reflects a reasonable basis for the calculation of the amounts set forth therein and does not contain any manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.15 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is (i) retroactive and (ii) occurred within such six-month period, then the six-month period referred to above may be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof, but in no event any period prior to the Closing Date.

2.16 Break Funding Payments.

(a) In the event of (i) the payment of any principal of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (ii) the conversion of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (iii) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any LIBOR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice is permitted to be revocable and is revoked in accordance herewith) or (iv) the assignment of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.9, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event; provided that if the occurrence of any event described in clause (iii) above shall occur solely as a result of any Lender’s failure to make available such Lender’s share of any LIBOR Borrowing, such Lender shall not be entitled to compensation under this Section 2.16(a) with respect to such event. Nothing in this Section 2.16 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments to the extent required by this Agreement or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

(b) In the case of a LIBOR Loan, the loss to any Lender attributable to any such event shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of

(i) the amount of interest that such Lender would pay for a deposit equal to the principal amount of such Loan for the period from the date of such payment, conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the duration of the Interest Period that would have resulted from such borrowing, conversion or

continuation) if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period (or if such Lender does not accept deposits, then the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period),

over

(ii) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn on such principal amount for such period if such Lender were to invest such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an Affiliate of such Lender) for U.S. dollar deposits from other banks in the LIBOR market at the commencement of such period.

(c) A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

2.17 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17) the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Lender, within 10 days after written 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 2.17) paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be (and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto during the period prior to the Borrower making the payment demanded under this paragraph (c)), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other 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 or the Issuing Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. If the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Lender (as the case may be) shall become aware that it is entitled to claim a refund from a Governmental Authority in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower, or with respect to which the Borrower has paid increased amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, such

Lender shall notify the Borrower of the availability of such refund claim and shall exercise reasonable efforts (at no cost to such Lender) to make the appropriate claim to such Governmental Authority for such a refund. In the event any such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Lender are refunded to such Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender, the Lender receiving such refund shall forthwith pay over such amount to the Administrative Agent and each such refunded amount shall be (i) applied to prepay interest payable on the Revolving Credit Loans, or to pay any other obligations of the Credit Parties then due hereunder, or (ii) in the event all obligations hereunder and under all of the Loan Documents have been indefeasibly paid in full, refunded to the Borrower.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of any receipt issued by such Governmental Authority to the Borrower evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of a jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

2.18 Payments Generally: Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-Offs.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or under Sections 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m., New York time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at such of its offices in New York as shall be notified to the relevant parties from time to time, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 and 10.3 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof, and the Borrower shall have no liability in the event timely or correct distribution of such payments is not so made. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in U.S. dollars.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements,

interest and fees then due hereunder under any circumstances, including during, or as a result of the exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of remedies under the Collateral Documents and applicable law, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, (ii) second, to pay principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties and (iii) third, to obligations with respect to Hedging Agreements entered into by a Lender; in each case, regardless of whether such funds are the proceeds of Collateral that is security for less than all of the Loans.

(c) If any Revolving Credit Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of set-off or otherwise) on account of the Revolving Credit Loans made by it (other than pursuant to Sections 2.4, 2.8, 2.15 or 2.17), then, if there is any Reimbursement Obligation outstanding in respect of which the Issuing Lender has not received payment in full from such Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to Section 2.4(e) (the amount of such Reimbursement Obligation being such Revolving Credit Lender’s “LC Deficiency Amount”) or if there is any Swing Loan outstanding in respect of which, pursuant to Section 2.8(d)(i) or (ii), the Swing Loan Lender has not received payment in full from such Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to Section 2.8(d)(i) or (ii) (the amount of such Swing Loan being such Revolving Credit Lender’s “SL Deficiency Amount”), such Revolving Credit Lender shall both (a) purchase a participation in such Reimbursement Obligation in an amount equal to the amount obtained by multiplying the amount of such payment obtained by such Revolving Credit Lender (the “Payment Amount”) by a fraction, the numerator of which is such LC Deficiency Amount and the denominator of which is the sum of such LC Deficiency Amount plus such SL Deficiency Amount (such sum being the “Aggregate Deficiency” with respect to such Payment Amount), and (b) purchase a participation in such Swing Loan in an amount equal to the amount obtained by multiplying such Payment Amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is such SL Deficiency and the denominator of which is such Aggregate Deficiency. If, after giving effect to the foregoing, any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans (or participations in LC Disbursements) (other than pursuant to Sections 2.4, 2.8, 2.15 or 2.17), resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate principal amount of its Loans (and participations in LC Disbursements) and accrued interest thereon than the proportion of such amounts received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans (and LC Disbursements) of the other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of such payments shall be shared by all the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans (and participations in LC Disbursements); provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans (or participations in LC Disbursements) to any assignee or participant, other than to any Credit Party or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under

applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender entitled thereto (the “Applicable Recipient”) hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Applicable Recipient the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each Applicable Recipient severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Applicable Recipient with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.4(d), 2.4(e), 2.5(b), 2.8(d)(i) or (ii) or 2.18(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

(f) Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans from the Lenders under Section 2.1 shall be made from the Lenders, each payment of commitment fee under Section 2.12 in respect of Commitments shall be made for the account of the Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments under Section 2.3 shall be applied to the Commitments of the Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments; (ii) LIBOR Loans having the same Interest Period shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts of their Commitments (in the case of the making of Loans) or their Loans (in the case of conversions and continuations of Loans); (iii) each payment or prepayment by the Borrower of principal of Loans shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by such Lenders, except as otherwise set forth in Section 2.11(c); (iv) each payment by the Borrower of interest on Loans shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the Lenders; and (v) each payment by the Borrower of participation fees in respect of Letters of Credit shall be made for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amount of participation fees then due and payable to the Revolving Credit Lenders.

ARTICLE 3

Guarantee by Guarantors

3.1 The Guarantee. Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally guarantees to each Lender, the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns the prompt payment and performance in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest on the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower, all LC Disbursements and all other amounts from time to time owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent by the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and all other obligations of the Borrower to any Lender hereunder or to any Lender or the affiliate of any Lender under any Hedging Agreement, in each case strictly in accordance with the terms thereof (such obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Guarantor hereby further agrees that if the Borrower shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, each Guarantor will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

3.2 Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of each Guarantor under Section 3.1 are absolute and unconditional irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 3.2 that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Guarantors hereunder which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

(i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to such Guarantors, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

(ii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions hereof or of the other Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted;

(iii) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be waived or any

other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with; or

(iv) any lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender or Lenders as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected or any Collateral is released or otherwise compromised or liquidated for less than fair value.

The Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever (except as expressly required hereby) and any requirement that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrower hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

3.3 Reinstatement. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Article 3 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each of the Guarantors agrees that it will indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and each Lender on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

3.4 Subrogation. Until such time as the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, each Guarantor hereby waives all rights of subrogation or contribution, whether arising by contract or operation of law (including any such right arising under the Federal Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended) or otherwise by reason of any payment by it pursuant to the provisions of this Article 3.

3.5 Remedies. Each Guarantor agrees that, as between such Guarantor and the Lenders, the obligations of the Borrower hereunder may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 8.1 or Section 2.4(i), as applicable (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 8.1 or Section 2.4(i), as applicable) for purposes of Section 3.1 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor for purposes of Section 3.1.

3.6 Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Article 3 is a continuing irrevocable guarantee of payment and performance, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations prior to the indefeasible payment in full of Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

3.7 Rights of Contribution. The Guarantors hereby agree, as between themselves, that if any Guarantor shall become an Excess Funding Guarantor (as defined below) by reason of the payment by such Guarantor of any Guaranteed Obligations, each other Guarantor shall, on demand of such Excess Funding Guarantor (but subject to the next sentence), pay to such Excess Funding Guarantor an amount equal to such Guarantor’s Pro Rata Share (as defined below and determined, for this purpose, without reference to the properties, debts and liabilities of such Excess Funding Guarantor) of the Excess Payment (as defined below) in respect of such Guaranteed Obligations. The payment obligation of a Guarantor to any Excess Funding Guarantor under this Section 3.7 shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the obligations of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Article 3 and such Excess Funding Guarantor shall not exercise any right or remedy with respect to such excess until payment and satisfaction in full of all of such obligations.

For purposes of this Section 3.7, (i) “Excess Funding Guarantor” means, in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, a Guarantor that has paid an amount in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) “Excess Payment” means, in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, the amount paid by an Excess Funding Guarantor in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such Guaranteed Obligations and (iii) “Pro Rata Share” means, for any Guarantor, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (x) the amount by which the aggregate present fair saleable value of all properties of such Guarantor (excluding any shares of stock of, or ownership interest in, any other Guarantor) exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities of such Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder and any obligations of any other Guarantor that have been Guaranteed by such Guarantor) to (y) the amount by which the aggregate fair saleable value of all properties of all of the Credit Parties exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) of all of the Credit Parties, determined (A) with respect to any Guarantor that is a party hereto at the Effective Time, as of the Effective Time, and (B) with respect to any other Guarantor, as of the date such Guarantor becomes a Guarantor hereunder.

3.8 General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state or non-U.S. corporate law, or any state or Federal or non-U.S. bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 3.1 would otherwise, taking into account the provisions of Section 3.7, be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 3.1, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Lender, Agent or other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

No other provision of this Guaranty shall be construed as limiting the generality of any of the covenants and waivers set forth in this paragraph. As provided below, this Agreement shall be governed by, and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. This paragraph is included solely out of an abundance of caution, and shall not be construed to mean that any of the above-referenced provisions of California law are in any way applicable to the provisions of this Article 3 or to any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

ARTICLE 9

The Administrative Agent

9.1 Appointment and Authorization. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

9.2 Administrative Agent’s Rights as Lender. The Lender or other financial institution serving as the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender, and such institution and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with any Credit Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate of any thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender hereunder.

9.3 Duties As Expressly Stated. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Issuing Lender shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither the Administrative Agent nor the Issuing Lender shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) neither the Administrative Agent nor the Issuing Lender shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as is required hereunder with respect to such action), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Issuing Lender shall have any duty to disclose, or shall be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Credit Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the financial institution serving as the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates or Approved Funds in any capacity. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Issuing Lender shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as is required hereunder with respect to such action) or all of the Lenders if expressly required, or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for

125

or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in, or in connection with, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or in connection herewith of therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or in any other Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 5 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Issuing Lender shall, except to the extent the Administrative Agent expressly instructed by the Required Lenders with respect to collateral security under the Collateral Documents, be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings hereunder or under any other Loan Document; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to the Loan Documents or applicable law.

9.4 Reliance By Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender 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. The Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. The Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Credit Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action (it being understood that this provision shall not release the Administrative Agent from performing any action with respect to the Borrower expressly required to be performed by it pursuant to the terms hereof) under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

9.5 Action Through Sub-Agents. The Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender may perform any and all of its duties, and exercise its rights and powers, by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender. The Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through its 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 the Issuing Lender and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to its

126

activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender.

9.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent and Appointment of Successor Administrative Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent, as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the prior written consent of the Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after such retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then such retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in Los Angeles, California or New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After an Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.3 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

9.7 Lenders’ Independent Decisions. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender 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. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Except as explicitly provided herein, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Issuing Lender has any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect to such operations, business, property, condition or creditworthiness, whether such information comes into its possession on or before the first Event of Default or at any time thereafter. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Issuing Lender shall be deemed a trustee or other fiduciary on behalf of any party.

9.8 Indemnification. Each Lender agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger and the Issuing Lender (to the extent not reimbursed under Section 10.3, but without limiting the obligations of the Borrower under Section 10.3), ratably in accordance with the aggregate principal amount of the respective Commitments of and/or Loans and LC Exposure held by the Lenders (or, if all of the Commitments shall have been terminated or expired, ratably in accordance with the aggregate outstanding amount of the

127

Loans and LC Exposure held by the Lenders), for any and all liabilities (including pursuant to any Environmental Law), obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, deficiencies, suits, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger or the Issuing Lender (including by any Lender) arising out of or by reason of any investigation in or in any way relating to or arising out of any Loan Document or any other documents contemplated by or referred to therein for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger or the Issuing Lender under or in respect of any of the Loan Documents or other such documents or the transactions contemplated thereby (including the costs and expenses that the Borrower is obligated to pay under Section 10.3, but excluding, unless a Default has occurred and is continuing, normal administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance of its agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified. The agreements set forth in this Section 9.8 shall survive the payment of all Loans and other obligations hereunder and shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any other indemnification agreements contained in any other Loan Document.

9.9 Consents Under Other Loan Documents. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent may, with the prior consent of the Required Lenders (but not otherwise), consent to any modification, supplement or waiver under any of the other Loan Documents.

10.2 Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Credit Party or Subsidiary therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 10.2, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except to the extent this Agreement or any other Loan Document provides for revisions to the schedules hereto or thereto with the approval of the Administrative Agent or pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the written consent of the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent; provided that no such agreement shall:

(i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender and the Administrative Agent, except that the consent of the Administrative Agent shall not be required with respect to any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase;

(ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby;

(iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement other than mandatory prepayments of the Loans required under Section 2.11(b), or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, change the maturity date of any Loan, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, or postpone the ultimate expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby;

129

(iv) change Section 2.11(c) in a manner that would alter the application of prepayments thereunder, or change Section 2.18(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without in each case the written consent of each Lender;

(v) change any of the provisions of this Section 10.2 or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder or thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender;

(vi) release any of the Guarantors from its obligations in respect of its Guarantee under Article 3 or release all or substantially all of the Collateral (or terminate any Lien with respect thereto), except as expressly permitted in the Loan Documents, without the written consent of each Lender; or

provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Swing Loan Lender or the Issuing Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of such Agent, the Swing Loan Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be.

(c) None of the Collateral Documents nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Credit Parties party thereto, and by the Administrative Agent with the written consent of the Required Lenders.

10.3 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) The Credit Parties jointly and severally agree to pay, or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger or the Lenders, as applicable, for paying, (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger and their Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Special Counsel, any FCC counsel or local counsel, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Lead Arranger or any Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Lead Arranger or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 10.3, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including in connection with any workout, restructuring or

130

negotiations in respect thereof, and (iv) all Other Taxes levied by any Governmental Authority in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other document referred to herein or therein and all costs, expenses, taxes, assessments and other charges incurred in connection with any filing, registration, recording or perfection of any security interest contemplated by any Collateral Document or any other document referred to therein.

(b) The Credit Parties jointly and severally agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger, the Issuing Lender and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee and settlement costs, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance or failure to perform by the parties hereto and thereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Lender to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Credit Party or any of their Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Credit Party or any of their Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall 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 final and nonappealable judgment to have) resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(c) To the extent that the Credit Parties fail to pay any amount required to be paid by them to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 10.3, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (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 the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such. To the extent that the Credit Parties fail to pay any amount required to be paid by them to the Lead Arranger under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 10.3, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Lead Arranger such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (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 the Lead Arranger in its capacity as such. To the extent that the Credit Parties fail to pay any amount required to be paid by them to the Issuing Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 10.3, each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to pay to the Issuing Lender such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the

131

unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Issuing Lender in its capacity as such.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, none of the Credit Parties shall assert, and each Credit Party hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, 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, the other Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) All amounts due under this Section 10.3 shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

10.4 Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and the Administrative Agent (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Credit Party without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) and may assign Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Loans; provided that:

(i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund of a Lender, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of an assignment of all or a portion of a Revolving Credit Commitment or any Lender’s obligations in respect of its LC Exposure, the Issuing Lender) each must give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned),

(ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or Approved Fund of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Loans or Commitment, the amount of the Loans or Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than the lesser of $5,000,000 or the entire Commitment of such assigning Lender, unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that for such purposes, the amount of outstanding

132

Loans and unused Commitments shall be determined without regard to any Swing Loans then outstanding;

(iii) the parties to each assignment (other than an assignment to a Lender or its Affiliate or Approved Fund) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,000, and

(iv) the assignee shall be an Eligible Assignee and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire;

provided further that any consent of the Borrower otherwise required under this paragraph shall not be required (i) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) in the event of an assignment to an existing Lender, or (iii) in the event of an assignment by General Electric Capital Corporation following a determination by such Lender or its affiliate, the National Broadcasting Company (“NBC”), that continued ownership of rights or obligations hereunder would (A) violate FCC rules pertinent to attributable ownership or (B) cause NBC to forgo investments or acquisition opportunities in any of the markets in which the Borrower then operates, then, in each case, such Lender shall consult with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent regarding proposed assignees and use reasonable efforts to cause such assignment to an assignee reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions of this Section 10.4(b)(ii) shall not apply until the date on which the primary syndication of the Commitments has been completed.

(c) Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 10.4, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.3 with respect to matters described therein occurring or accruing prior to the effective date of any such Assignment and Acceptance). Notwithstanding anything therein to the contrary, no Approved Fund shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the assignment effected by such transferor Lender had no assignment occurred. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with paragraph (b) of this Section 10.4 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (f) of this Section.

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York, New York or Los Angeles, California a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance and Lender Joinder Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, the identity of the Swing

133

Loan Lender and the amount of the Swing Loan Commitment and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary (absent manifest error). The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Lender and any Lender or the Administrative Agent, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) (i) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 10.4 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 10.4, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph, and (ii) upon its receipt of a duly completed Lender Joinder Agreement executed by a New Lender and Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.1(b), and the New Lender’s completed Administrative Questionnaire, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Lender Joinder Agreement and record the information contained therein in the Register.

(f) Any Lender may, without the consent of or notice to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender 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. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 10.2(b), or Section 10.2(c), that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (g) of this Section 10.4, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15. 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 10.4.

134

(g) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.17(e) as though it were a Lender.

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

(i) Anything in this Section 10.4 to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to any Credit Party or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries without the prior consent of each Lender and the Administrative Agent.

(j) A Lender may furnish any information concerning any Credit Party, Holding Company or Subsidiary in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants) subject, however, to and so long as the recipient agrees in writing to be bound by, the provisions of Section 10.13. In addition, the Administrative Agent may furnish any information concerning any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates in the Administrative Agent’s possession to any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent, subject, however, to the provisions of Section 10.13. The Credit Parties shall assist any Lender in effectuating any assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 10.4 (including during syndication) in whatever manner such Lender reasonably deems necessary, including participation in meetings with prospective transferees.

(k) Each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof hereby agrees (i) that it is an Eligible Assignee described in the definition thereof. Each Lender that becomes a party hereto pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance shall be deemed to agree that the agreements of such Lender contained in Section 3 of such Assignment and Acceptance are incorporated herein by this reference.

10.5 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Credit Parties and Subsidiaries herein and in the other Loan Documents, and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is outstanding and

135

unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.3 and Article 9 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof.

10.6 Counterparts; Integration; References to Agreement; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent or its counsel and to certain other lenders constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Whenever there is a reference in any Collateral Document or UCC Financing Statement to the “Credit Agreement” to which the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Credit Parties are parties, such reference shall be deemed to be made to this Agreement among the parties hereto. Except as provided in Section 5.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

10.7 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.8 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 10.8 are in addition to any other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender may have.

10.9 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a) This Agreement and all issues arising with respect hereto, including the validity or enforceability of any agreement contained herein and the issue of usury with respect

136

to the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be construed in all respects in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(b) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of State of New York 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 the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York court (or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court). Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall 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 shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against any Credit Party or Subsidiary or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 10.9. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.1. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

10.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.10.

10.11 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

137

10.12 Release of Collateral and Guarantees. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that if all of the capital stock of or other equity interests in, or any assets of, any Subsidiary that is owned by the Credit Parties is sold to any Person as permitted by the terms of this Agreement and the Collateral Documents, or if any Subsidiary is merged or consolidated with or into any other Person as permitted by the terms of this Agreement and such Subsidiary is not the continuing or surviving corporation, the Administrative Agent shall, upon request of the Borrower (and upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of such evidence as the Administrative Agent or any Lender may reasonably request to establish that such sale, designation, merger or consolidation is permitted by the terms of this Agreement), terminate the Guarantee of such Subsidiary under Article 3 and authorize the Administrative Agent to release the Lien created by the Collateral Documents on any capital stock of or other equity interests in such Subsidiary and on any assets of such Subsidiary.

10.13 Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees to keep confidential information obtained by it pursuant hereto and the other Loan Documents confidential in accordance with such Lender’s customary practices and agrees that it will only use such information in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and not disclose any of such information other than (a) to such Lender’s employees, representatives, directors, attorneys, auditors (including any external auditors), agents, professional advisors, trustees or Affiliates who are advised of the confidential nature of such information or to any direct or indirect contractual counter party in swap agreements or such contractual counter party’s professional advisor (so long as such auditors, contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counter party agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 10.13), (b) to the extent such information presently is or hereafter becomes available to such Lender on a non-confidential basis from any source of such information that is in the public domain at the time of disclosure (so long as such information does not become publicly available as a result of a breach of this Section 10.13), (c) to the extent disclosure is required by law (including applicable securities law), regulation, subpoena or judicial order or process (provided that notice of such requirement or order shall be promptly furnished to the Borrower unless such notice is legally prohibited) or requested or required by bank, securities, insurance or investment company regulators or auditors or any administrative body or commission (including the Securities Valuation Office of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) to whose jurisdiction such Lender may be subject, (d) to any rating agency to the extent required in connection with any rating to be assigned to such Lender, (e) to assignees or participants or prospective assignees or participants who agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 10.13, (f) to the extent required in connection with any litigation between any Credit Party and any Lender with respect to the Loans or this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (g) with the Borrower’s prior written consent.

10.14 Continued Effectiveness; No Novation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the terms of this Agreement are not intended to and do not serve to effect a novation of the obligations, liabilities or indebtedness of the Credit Parties under the Existing Credit Agreement. Instead, it is the express intention of the parties hereto to reaffirm, amend and restate the obligations, liabilities and indebtedness created under or otherwise evidenced by the Existing Credit Agreement that is evidenced by the notes provided for therein and secured by the collateral contemplated thereby and hereby (it being understood that it was the intention of the parties to the Existing Credit Agreement to reaffirm, amend and restate the obligations, liabilities and indebtedness created under or otherwise evidenced by the Original Credit Agreement that is

138

evidenced by the notes provided for therein and secured by the collateral contemplated thereby). The Credit Parties acknowledge and confirm that the liens and security interests granted pursuant to the Loan Documents secure the obligations, liabilities and indebtedness of the Credit Parties to the Lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended and restated hereby, and that the term “Secured Obligations” used in certain of the Loan Documents (or any other term used herein to describe or refer to the obligations, liabilities and indebtedness of the Credit Parties) describes and refers to the Credit Parties’ obligations, liabilities and indebtedness hereunder and under the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended and restated hereby, as the same had been amended, modified, supplemented or restated prior to the date hereof and as the same may be further amended, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time. The Loan Documents and all agreements, documents and instruments executed and delivered in connection with any of the foregoing shall each be deemed to be amended to the extent necessary to give effect to the provisions of this Agreement. Cross-references in the Loan Documents to particular section or subsection numbers in the Original Credit Agreement or the Existing Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be cross-references to the corresponding sections or subsections, as applicable, of this Agreement.

10.15 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act, and the Borrower agrees to provide such information from time to time to any Lender upon reasonable request.
