The failure of any Lender to make a Revolving Loan to be made by it as part of any borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make available its share of such borrowing.

2.3 Increase of Commitments. (a) From and after the Closing Date, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Borrower may from time to time, request an increase in the Aggregate Commitments; provided that (x) the aggregate amount of all increases in the Aggregate Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.3(a) shall not exceed $150,000,000 and (y) the Aggregate Commitments after giving effect to any such increase shall not exceed $900,000,000.

(b) Each increase in the Aggregate Commitments pursuant to Section 2.3(a) may be provided by the Lenders or Eligible Assignees designated by the Borrower that are willing to provide such increase (an “Increasing Lender”) and to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement substantially in form of Exhibit J (a “Joinder Agreement”), pursuant to which such Increasing Lender shall become a party to this Agreement; provided that any such increases shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000. Nothing contained herein shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Lender to increase its Commitment hereunder.

(c) If the Aggregate Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section 2.3, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine (i) the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”), and (ii) the final allocation of such increase and Schedule I attached hereto shall be automatically updated to reflect the same. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date.

(d) As a condition precedent to such increase, (i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist, (ii) the Borrower shall (1) deliver to the Administrative Agent (A) a Joinder Agreement executed by the Borrower and the applicable Lender(s), and (B) a certificate dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer (x) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower approving or consenting to such increase, and (y) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase no Default exists and (iii) pursuant to the terms of the Fee Letter, pay any fees to the applicable Persons. On the applicable Increase Effective Date, the Commitment of each Increasing Lender shall be increased by the amount offered by (or, if applicable, allocated to) such Increasing Lender and the Aggregate Commitments shall be increased (and the Commitment Percentages adjusted) accordingly.

(e) Any increase in the Aggregate Commitments shall be made on the same terms (including, without limitation, interest terms, payment terms and maturity terms), and shall be subject to the same conditions as existing Commitments (it being understood that customary arrangement or commitment fees payable to the Arranger or one or more Increasing Lenders, as the case may be, may be different from those paid with respect to the Commitment of the Lenders on or prior to the Closing Date or with respect to any other Increasing Lender in

connection with any other increase in the Aggregate Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.3). This Section 2.3 shall supersede any provisions in Section 3.8 or 10.1 to the contrary.

(f) The parties hereto agree that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, each Increasing Lender and each other Lender, as applicable, may make arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such parties to cause an Increasing Lender to temporarily hold risk participations in the Revolving Loans of the other Lenders (rather than fund its Commitment Percentage of all outstanding Revolving Loans concurrently with the applicable increase) with a view toward minimizing breakage costs and transfers of funds in connection with any increase in the Aggregate Commitments. The Borrower acknowledges that if (despite any arrangements established pursuant to the foregoing sentence), as a result of a non-pro-rata increase in the Aggregate Commitments, any Eurodollar Loans must be prepaid or converted (in whole or in part) on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, then such prepayment or conversion shall be subject to the provisions of Section 3.12.

2.4 Fees.

(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee for the period from the first day of the Commitment Period to the Termination Date, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate on the actual amount of the Available Commitment of such Lender (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.16) for each day during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the Termination Date.

(b) Other Fees. (i) The Borrower shall pay to the Arranger and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

(ii) The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

2.5 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than five Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Aggregate Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the Aggregate Commitments to an amount that is not less than the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof and shall reduce permanently the Aggregate Commitments then in effect; provided that no such reduction of Commitments shall reduce the Swingline Amount unless (i) otherwise specified by the Borrower or (ii) the Aggregate Commitments are reduced to an amount less than the Swingline Amount, in which case the Swingline Amount shall be reduced to an amount equal to the Aggregate Commitments (after giving effect to such reduction). Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be applied ratably to the Commitment of

each Lender according to its Commitment Percentage. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

2.6 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan of such Lender on the Termination Date (or such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 8.1).

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

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 10.6(c), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount and Type of each Loan made hereunder and each Interest Period for each Eurodollar Loan, (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 from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to Section 2.6(b) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will sign and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Borrower evidencing the Loans of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit A with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount (a “Note”).

2.7 Swingline Loans.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender may (in its sole and absolute discretion), in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in Section 2.8, make swingline loans (“Swingline Loans”) to the Borrower; provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Swingline Amount and (ii) the Borrower shall not request, and the Swingline Lender shall not make, any Swingline Loan if, after giving effect to the making of such Swingline Loan, the aggregate amount of the Available Commitments would be less than zero. During the Commitment Period, the Borrower may borrow, repay, and reborrow Swingline Loans, subject to the agreement of the Swingline Lender and in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all Swingline Loans shall be ABR Loans.

(b) The Borrower shall repay all outstanding Swingline Loans on the Termination Date.

2.8 Procedure for Swingline Borrowing and Prepayment; Refunding of Swingline Loans.

(a) Whenever the Borrower desires that the Swingline Lender make Swingline Loans it shall give the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent irrevocable telephonic notice confirmed promptly in writing (which telephonic notice must be received by the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date), specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed and (ii) the requested Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day during the Commitment Period). Each Swingline Loan shall be in an amount equal to $500,000 or a higher integral multiple of $50,000. Unless the Swingline Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 1:15 p.m., New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date (A) directing the Swingline Lender not to make such Swingline Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in Section 2.7(a)(ii) or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.2 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender may (in its sole and absolute discretion), not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date, make available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount of the Swingline Loan to be made by the Swingline Lender. The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of any such Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by depositing such proceeds in the account of the Borrower with the Administrative Agent on such Borrowing Date in immediately available funds.

(b) The Swingline Lender may, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), request each Lender to make, and each Lender hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Loan (which shall be an ABR Loan), in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans (the “Refunded Swingline Loans”) outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the Swingline Lender. Such request shall be made in writing and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.2, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Revolving Loans. Each Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the Swingline Loans) for the account of the Swingline Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time, on the Borrowing Date specified by the Swingline Lender. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans (and any Cash Collateral so applied) shall be immediately made available by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender for application by the Swingline Lender to the repayment of the Refunded Swingline Loans. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender to charge the Borrower’s accounts with the Administrative Agent (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay the amount of such Refunded Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from the Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full such Refunded Swingline Loans.

(c) If prior to the time a Revolving Loan would have otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.8(b), one of the events described in Section 8.1(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower or if for any other reason, as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, Revolving Loans may not be made as contemplated by Section 2.8(b), each Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.8(b) (the “Refunding Date”), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the then outstanding Swingline Loans by paying to the Swingline Lender an amount (the “Swingline Participation Amount”) equal to (i) such Lender’s Commitment Percentage times (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding that were to have been repaid with such Revolving Loans, as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 3.16.

(d) Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Lender such Lender’s Swingline Participation Amount, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of the Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its Swingline Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Lender’s pro rata share of the aggregate funded Swingline Participation Amounts of all Lenders) if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swingline Loans then due); provided that in the event that such payment received by the Swingline Lender is required to be returned, such Lender will return to the Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swingline Lender.

(e) Each Lender’s obligation to make the Revolving Loans referred to in Section 2.8(b) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.8(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender or the Borrower may have against the Swingline Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the existence of a Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5.2; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Loan Party or any other Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

2.9 Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Swingline Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.5(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.5(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.5(c).

SECTION 3.
GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO THE LOANS

3.1 Optional Prepayments.

(a) Revolving Loans. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Revolving Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, at least three Business Days’ prior to the date of prepayment if all or any part of the Revolving Loans to be prepaid are Eurodollar Loans, and at least one Business Day prior to the date of prepayment if all of the Loans to be prepaid are ABR Loans, specifying the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans, ABR Loans or a combination thereof, and, if of a combination thereof, the amount allocable to each. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.12. Partial prepayments of ABR Loans (other than Swingline Loans) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $100,000, and partial prepayments of Eurodollar Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000.

(b) Swingline Loans. The Borrower may from time to time prepay Swingline Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender not later than 1:15 p.m., New York City time on the date of prepayment, specifying the date and amount of prepayment. Partial prepayments of Swingline Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 or a higher integral multiple of $50,000, and after giving effect to any such prepayment the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans shall not be less than $500,000.

3.2 Mandatory Prepayments. If at any time the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans and the Swingline Loans exceed the Aggregate Commitments, the Borrower shall immediately prepay Loans in the amount of such excess. All prepayments of Loans pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall be made without premium or penalty (but shall be subject to Section 3.12) and shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being prepaid. All such prepayments shall be applied as directed in writing by the Borrower or, in the absence of such direction, first, to prepay Swingline Loans until the Swingline Loans are paid in full, second, to prepay Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans until such Revolving Loans are paid in full and, third, to prepay Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Loans until such Loans are paid in full.

3.3 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days’ prior irrevocable written notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit I, of such election; provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans (other than ABR Loans which are Swingline Loans) to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable written notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit I, of such election. Any such notice of conversion to

Eurodollar Loans shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods therefor. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. All or any part of outstanding Eurodollar Loans and ABR Loans may be converted as provided herein; provided that (x) no Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined that such a conversion is not appropriate and (y) no Swingline Loan may be converted to a Eurodollar Loan.

(b) Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving written notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit I, to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loan; provided that no Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has notified the Borrower that the Required Lenders have determined that such a continuation is not appropriate; and provided, further, that (i) if the Borrower fails to give such notice or if such continuation is not permitted, then such Eurodollar Loan shall be automatically converted to an ABR Loan on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period and (ii) if the Borrower gives a notice of continuation but fails to specify the applicable Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a one-month Interest Period.

3.4 Minimum Amounts and Maximum Number of Tranches. All borrowings, conversions and continuations of Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $5,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000. In no event shall there be more than 10 Tranches of Eurodollar Loans outstanding at any time.

3.5 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin; provided that so long as the Lenders have not been required to purchase participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.8(c), Swingline Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin minus the Commitment Fee Rate.

(c) If any amount payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (after any applicable grace period), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws. Furthermore, upon the request of the Required Lenders, at any time an Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall pay interest on the Loans at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws.

(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and on the Termination Date; provided that interest accruing pursuant to Section 3.5(c) shall be payable from time to time on demand.

3.6 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest based on the ABR (including the ABR determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate) shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 (or, if applicable, 366) days and for the actual number of days elapsed. All other interest and all fees shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and for the actual number of days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or the Eurodollar Reserve Percentage shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in the ABR or the Eurodollar Reserve Percentage.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower or any Lender, deliver to the Borrower or such Lender a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 3.5(a).

3.7 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

(a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or

(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by the Required Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,

then the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof, to the Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given, (i) any Eurodollar Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (ii) any ABR Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans, (iii) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans that were to be continued on the first day of such Interest Period shall be converted to ABR Loans and (iv) in the event of a determination described in this Section with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the ABR, the utilization of the Eurodollar Rate component in determining the ABR shall be suspended. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent (x) no further Eurodollar Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans, and (y) to the extent applicable, the ABR shall

be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the ABR.

3.8 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Except as provided in Sections 2.3(g) and 3.8(c), each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder (other than borrowings of Swingline Loans), each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee hereunder and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Commitment Percentages of the Lenders. Subject to Sections 2.3(g) and 3.8(c), each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Lenders; provided that payments in respect of Swingline Loans that have not been refunded with Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.8(b) shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender only (subject to the Swingline Lender’s obligation to share with any participants in the Swingline Loans). All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without set off or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders at the Administrative Agent’s Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds (and funds received after that time shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day). The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt (and if such payment is received prior to 12:00 noon, on the same day) in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its portion of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon, for the period from such Borrowing Date until such Lender makes such amount available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the daily average Federal Funds Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amount owing under this subsection shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s portion of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans hereunder, on demand, from the Borrower.

(c) The provisions of Section 3.8(a) shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application and reallocation of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender as set forth in Section 3.16), (y) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 3.16, or (z) the reallocation of Commitment Percentages and the acquisition, refinancing or funding of participations in Swingline Loans made pursuant to Section 3.16(a)(iv).

3.9 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) (i) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be cancelled and (ii) the interest rate on ABR Loans which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the ABR, shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the ABR and (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 3.12.

3.10 Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i) shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Note or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 3.11 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender);

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate hereunder; or

(iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender in good xxxxx xxxxx to be material, of agreeing to make or maintain, or of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining, any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days after receipt

of a certificate in accordance with Section 3.10(c)) pay such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender in good faith to be material, then the Borrower shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days after receipt of a certificate in accordance with Section 3.10(c)), pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will fairly compensate such Lender for such reduction in the return on capital.

(c) If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.10, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled; provided that no additional amount shall be payable under this Section 3.10 for a period longer than nine months prior to such notice to the Borrower. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.10 submitted by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The agreements in this Section shall survive for a period of one year after the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. In determining whether to make a claim, and calculating the amount of compensation, under this Section 3.10, each Lender shall apply standards that are not inconsistent with those generally applied by such Lender in similar circumstances.

3.11 Taxes. (a) Unless otherwise required by any Law, all payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement and any Notes shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority (“Taxes”), but excluding any “Excluded Taxes” which, with respect to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other recipient of any payment to be made by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement and any Notes, shall mean (i) any Taxes imposed or measured by net income (however denominated) or overall gross income (including branch profits) and franchise (and similar) Taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of such person being organized or resident in, maintaining a Lending Office in, doing business in or into or having another present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such Tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent or such Lender having signed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any Note, in each case pursuant to the term thereof), (ii) any United States federal withholding Tax that is imposed pursuant to any Law in effect at the time the

Administrative Agent or any Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, changes its applicable Lending Office or changes its place of organization, except to the extent such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, immediately prior to the assignment, or such Lender was entitled, immediately prior to the change in Lending Office or change of place of organization, to payments in respect of United States federal withholding tax under Section 3.11(a), (iii) any Taxes attributable to a recipient’s failure or comply with Section 3.11(b), (iv) any United States federal withholding Taxes imposed under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, or any amended version or successor provision that is substantively comparable thereto, and, in each case, any regulations promulgated thereunder and any interpretation or other guidance issued in connection therewith, (v) any U.S. federal backup withholding taxes imposed under Section 3406 of the Code, and (vi) any interest, additions to Tax or penalties in respect of the foregoing. If any Non-Excluded Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any Note, the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement. In addition, if any Non-Excluded Taxes are directly imposed on or asserted against the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to any payment received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender hereunder, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may pay such Non-Excluded Taxes and the Borrower will promptly pay such additional amount (including any penalty, interest or expense) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender after the payment of such Non-Excluded Taxes (including any taxes on such additional amounts) shall equal the amount such Person would have received had such Non-Excluded Taxes not been imposed or asserted. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled; provided that additional amounts shall only be payable under this subsection if Borrower receives written notice from a Lender or the Administrative Agent within nine (9) months of such Lender first having knowledge of such additional amounts; provided, however, that if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such nine-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive termination of this Agreement. The Borrower shall, and does hereby agree to, make payment in respect such amounts within 10 days after demand therefor. The agreements in this subsection shall survive for a period of one year the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(b) Each Lender shall promptly deliver to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, whenever such person becomes a party to any Loan Document, after the occurrence of an

event requiring a change in the most recent documentation previously delivered to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, or as otherwise reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and duly executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, (A) to determine whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) to determine, if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) to establish such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of any payments to be made to such Lender pursuant to any Loan Document or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in an applicable jurisdiction (including, if applicable, any documentation necessary to prevent withholding under Sections 1471-1474 of the Code). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Lender that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code thereof shall: (A) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN, or successor applicable form, as the case may be; (B) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further copies of any such form or certification on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower; and (C) obtain such extensions of time for filing and complete such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent; and (ii) each Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, certifying that such Lender is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax, or any successor form; unless in any such case an event (including any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender so advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Each Person that shall become a Lender or a Participant pursuant to Section 10.6 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all of the forms and statements required pursuant to this subsection; provided that in the case of a Participant such Participant shall furnish all such required forms and statements to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased.

(c) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but not more than the indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to the relevant portion of such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender if the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative

Agent or such Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

3.12 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnity shall be limited to an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so prepaid, borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to prepay, borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

3.13 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that if it makes any demand for payment under Section 3.10 or 3.11(a), or if any adoption or change of the type described in Section 3.9 shall occur with respect to it, it will use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions and so long as such efforts would not be unreasonably disadvantageous to it, as determined in its reasonable sole discretion) to designate a different lending office if the making of such a designation would reduce or obviate the need for the Borrower to make payments under Section 3.10 or 3.11(a), or would eliminate or reduce the effect of any adoption or change described in Section 3.9.

3.14 Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender (i) makes any demand for payment under Sections 3.10 or 3.11(a), (ii) becomes subject to an event described in Section 3.9, (iii) does not consent to a proposed amendment or supplement to, or waiver of or other modification of, this Agreement that (A) requires the approval of all Lenders (or all affected Lenders) and (B) has been approved by the Required Lenders, or (iv) is a Defaulting Lender, 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, and consents required by, Section 10.6), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(1) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.6(b)(iv);

(2) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.12) 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);

(3) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a demand for payment under Section 3.10 or 3.11(a), such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(4) the Borrower may not require any Lender to make such assignment pursuant to clause (iii) above unless all other Lenders that did not consent to the relevant amendment, supplement, waiver or modification are concurrently required to assign all of their interests, rights and obligations hereunder; and

(5) such assignment does not conflict with applicable laws.

(b) A Lender shall not be required to make any assignment and delegation pursuant to this Section 3.14 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.

3.15 Cash Collateral.

(a) Certain Credit Support Events. At any time that there shall exist a Lender that is a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 3.16(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(b) Cash Collateral. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (including the Swingline Lender), and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 3.15(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

(c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 3.15 or Section 3.16 in respect of Swingline Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the Swingline Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender,

any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

(d) Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 10.6(b)(vi))) or (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 3.15 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 8.2), and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Swingline Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

3.16 Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 10.1.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.7(b)), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the Swingline Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swingline Loan; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or Swingline Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction

obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 3.16(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.4(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(iv) Reallocation of Commitment Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Lender that is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.8, the “Commitment Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided, that, (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Swingline Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate outstanding amount of the Revolving Loans of that Lender.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and in the case of the Lender that is a Defaulting Lender, and the Swingline Lender, agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Revolving Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Swingline Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Commitment Percentages (without giving effect to Section 3.16(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver

or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 4.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

4.1 Financial Condition. The Borrower has heretofore furnished to each Lender copies of (i) the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2009 and the related audited consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal year ended on such date, audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and (ii) the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at September 30, 2010 and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the nine-month period ended on such date (the “Financial Statements”). The Financial Statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2010 and present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnote disclosure). The Financial Statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the period involved. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.1, neither the Borrower nor any consolidated Subsidiary had, at December 31, 2009 or at the date hereof, any material liability, contingent or otherwise, which is not reflected in the foregoing statements or in the notes thereto. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.1, during the period from September 30, 2010 through the date hereof there has been no sale, transfer or other disposition by the Borrower or any of its consolidated Subsidiaries of any material part of its business or property and no purchase or other acquisition of any business or property (including any capital stock of any other Person) material in relation to the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2010.

4.2 No Change. Since December 31, 2009, except as set forth in the Financial Statements and except as set forth on Schedule 4.2, there has been no development or event which has had or could have a Material Adverse Effect.

organizational or governing documents and with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.4 Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the corporate or other organizational power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary corporate or other organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party. The Borrower has the corporate power and authority, and the legal right to borrow hereunder and has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize such borrowings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any Notes. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the borrowings hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of any Loan Documents against any Loan Party that is a party thereto. This Agreement has been, and each other Loan Document will be when delivered, duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party that is party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document when delivered will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party which is a party thereto, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

4.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of each Loan Document to which such Person is party, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any certificate of incorporation and by-laws or other similar organizational or governing documents, Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation applicable to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, except for such violations of Requirements of Law or Contractual Obligations which could not, singly or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of the properties or revenues of the Borrower or any Subsidiary pursuant to any such organizational or governing document, Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation, except pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

4.6 No Material Litigation. No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened by or against the Borrower or any Subsidiary or against any of its or their respective properties or revenues which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.7 No Default. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

4.8 Ownership of Property; Liens. Each Loan Party has good record and marketable title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its material real property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other material property, in each case except for minor

4.9 Taxes. Each of the Borrower and each Subsidiary has filed or caused to be filed all material tax returns which, to the knowledge of the Borrower, are required to be filed or has timely filed a request for an extension of such filing and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or extension requests or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and, except as set forth on Schedule 4.9, all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (except, in each case, to the extent the amount or validity thereof is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Borrower and as to any of which the failure to pay would not have a Material Adverse Effect).

4.10 Federal Regulations. (a) “Margin stock” (within the meaning of Regulation U) constitutes less than 25% of the value of those assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries which are subject to any limitation on sale or pledge or any similar restriction hereunder. If requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form U-1 referred to in Regulation U.

(b) The Borrower is not subject to regulation under any Federal or State statute or regulation (other than Regulation X of the FRB) which limits its ability to incur Indebtedness.

4.11 ERISA.

(a) Each Plan is in compliance in all respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other Federal or state laws, except such noncompliance that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) (i) Except as would not give rise to a Material Adverse Effect, no ERISA Event has occurred, and neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate is aware of any fact, event or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to constitute or result in an ERISA Event with respect to any Pension Plan; (ii) the Borrower and each ERISA Affiliate has met all applicable requirements under the Pension Funding Rules in respect of each Pension Plan, and no waiver of the minimum funding standards under the Pension Funding Rules has been applied for or obtained; (iii) as of the most recent valuation date for any Pension Plan, the funding target attainment percentage (as defined in Section 430(d)(2) of the Code) is 60% or higher and neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate knows of any facts or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to cause the funding target attainment percentage for any such plan to drop below 60% as of the most recent valuation date; (iv) neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability to the PBGC other than for the payment of premiums, and there are no

premium payments which have become due that are unpaid; (v) neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a transaction that could be subject to Section 4069 or Section 4212(c) of ERISA; and (vi) no Pension Plan has been terminated by the plan administrator thereof nor by the PBGC, and no event or circumstance has occurred or exists that could reasonably be expected to cause the PBGC to institute proceedings under Title IV of ERISA to terminate any Pension Plan.

4.12 Investment Company Act; Investment Advisers Act. (a) No Loan Party or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party is, or after giving effect to any Acquisition will be, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.

(b) Each Subsidiary and each other Investment Firm is, to the extent required thereby, duly registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act, except to the extent the failure to be so registered could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. On the date hereof, the Borrower is not an “investment adviser” within the meaning of the Investment Advisers Act. Each Fund which is sponsored by any Subsidiary or other Investment Firm and which is required to be registered as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act is duly registered as such thereunder, except to the extent the failure to be so registered could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) The Borrower is not required to be registered as a broker-dealer under the Securities Acts (and each Subsidiary and other Investment Firm required to be so registered is so duly registered, except to the extent the failure to be so registered could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect).

(d) Each of the Borrower, each Subsidiary and each other Investment Firm is duly registered, licensed or qualified as an investment adviser or broker-dealer in each State of the United States where the conduct of its business requires such registration, licensing or qualification and is in compliance in all material respects with all Federal and State laws requiring such registration, licensing or qualification, except to the extent the failure to be so registered, licensed or qualified or to be in such compliance will not have, in the case of Federal laws, or could not reasonably be expected to have, in the case of State laws, a Material Adverse Effect.

4.13 Subsidiaries and Other Ownership Interests. The Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 6.8 constitute the only Subsidiaries of the Borrower as at the date hereof. As at the date hereof, (a) the Borrower has, directly or indirectly, an equity or other ownership interest in each Investment Firm and each other Person listed on Schedule 4.13 and (b) other than as set forth on Schedule 4.13, the Borrower has no equity or other ownership interest, directly or indirectly, in any other Person, other than indirect equity or other ownership interests in Funds.

The proceeds of the Loans shall be used by the Borrower (a) to repay Indebtedness outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, (b) for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes, (c) to make Acquisitions and other investments (including acquisitions of additional Capital Stock in Subsidiaries and Affiliates of the Borrower), (d) to purchase, repay or redeem any debt

or equity of the Borrower or any Subsidiary so long as such purchase, repayment or redemption is not prohibited by any other provision of this Agreement and (e) to pay fees and expenses to be incurred in connection with the foregoing.

4.15 Accuracy and Completeness of Information. To the best of the Borrower’s knowledge, the documents furnished and the statements made in writing to the Lenders by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection with the negotiation, preparation or execution of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of fact material to the credit worthiness of the Borrower or omit to state any such material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading under the circumstances in which such statements were made, in either case which has not been corrected, supplemented or remedied by subsequent documents furnished or statements made in writing to the Lenders prior to the date hereof.

SECTION 9.
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

9.1 Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provision (provided that the Borrower shall have the rights granted to the Borrower pursuant to Section 9.6).

9.2 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

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

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duty, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information

relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary under the circumstances) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any covenant, agreement or other term or condition set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 5 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

9.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed in good faith by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent 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.

9.5 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

9.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a “bank” which is a “US person” (each within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.441-1) with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States, in each case which office shall assume primary withholding responsibility under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any Loan Document, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above). 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 the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as Swingline Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swingline Lender, and (b) the retiring Swingline Lender shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations as such hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

9.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make

its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

9.8 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In the case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable and whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other obligations of any Loan Party that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereunder) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amount due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.4(b) or 10.5.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

9.9 Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under a Subsidiary Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Supermajority Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any guarantor from its obligations under any guarantee pursuant to this Section 9.9. The Administrative Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Lenders of any release of a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to this Section 9.9.

9.10 Other Agents; Arranger and Managers. None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the cover page or signature pages of this Agreement, or elsewhere herein,

as a “co-syndication agent,” “book manager,” or “lead arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than, in the case of a Person that is a Lender, those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

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

10.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

10.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) above to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any of its Related Parties, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Commitment Percentage as set forth in the last column on Schedule I (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 (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such or

against such Related Party acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity.

(d) Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees that it will not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

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, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time 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(s) and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 10.6(b), participations in Swingline Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(1) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to

it under such Facility or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(2) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(1) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;

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

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

(1) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender;

(2) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of any Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment or an Affiliate of such Lender with respect to such Lender; and

(3) the consent of the Swingline Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and

recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (1) to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or (2) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (2), or (3) to a natural person.

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

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning 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 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, and 10.5 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 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 Section 10.6(d).

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans

owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of a Loan or other obligation hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Any assignment of any Loan or other obligation hereunder shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in Swingline 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 and the 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, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.1(a) that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.10, 3.11, and 3.12 (subject to any requirements and limitations thereunder) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.6(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 10.7 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Loan or other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent (x) such disclosure is required pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 10.6(d) or (y) that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender (and the Borrower, to the extent that the Participant requests payment from the Borrower) shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The portion of the Participant

Register relating to any Participant requesting payment from the Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be made available to the Borrower upon reasonable request.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.10 or 3.11 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 is not incorporated under the laws of the United States shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.11 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 3.11(b) as though it were a Lender.

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

10.7 Adjustments; Set-off. (a) If any Lender (a “benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set—off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans, or interest thereon, such benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loan, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, upon the occurrence and continuation of any Event of Default, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower, provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.16 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to

such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

10.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

10.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the agreement of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

10.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

10.12 Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the Borrower at its address determined pursuant to Section 10.2(a) or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to xxx in any other jurisdiction; and

The rights and obligations of the parties evidenced by the Existing Credit Agreement shall be evidenced by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the giving of guarantees shall continue under but as amended by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall not in any event be terminated, extinguished or annulled but shall hereafter be governed by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. All references to the Existing Credit Agreement in any Loan Document or other document or instrument delivered in connection therewith shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement and the provisions hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and to the extent necessary, the Lenders and Bank of America, in its capacity as the administrative agent thereunder reserve all of their rights under the Existing Credit Agreement and the other “Loan Documents” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) which by their express terms survive the termination of the Existing Credit Agreement and each of the Loan Parties hereby obligates itself again in respect of all such present and future “Obligations” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement). Nothing contained herein shall be construed as a novation of the “Obligations” outstanding under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect, except as modified hereby.

FORM OF NOTE

[Date]

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Affiliated Managers Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to (the “Lender”), at the Administrative Agent’s Office in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, on the Termination Date the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans made by the Lender to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement referred to below. The Borrower further agrees to pay interest in like money at such office on the unpaid principal amount hereof from time to time outstanding at the rates and on the dates specified in the Credit Agreement.

The Lender is authorized to record in its records, or on the schedules annexed hereto, the date, Type and amount of each Revolving Loan made by it pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal thereof, each continuation thereof, each conversion of all or a portion thereof to the other Type and, in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, the length of each Interest Period with respect thereto. Each such recordation shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information recorded. The failure to make any such recordation shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower in respect of any such Loan.

This Note (a) is one of the Notes referred to in the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of January 12, 2011 (as amended or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) among the Borrower, the Lender, various other financial institutions, and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, (b) is subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement and (c) is subject to optional and mandatory prepayment in whole or in part as provided in the Credit Agreement. This Note is guaranteed as provided in the Loan Documents. Reference is hereby made to the Loan Documents for a description of the nature and extent of the guarantees, the terms and conditions upon which each guarantee was granted and the rights of the holder of this Note in respect thereof.

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, all amounts then remaining unpaid on this Note may become, or may be declared to be, immediately due and payable, all as provided in the Credit Agreement.

All parties now and hereafter liable with respect to this Note, whether maker, principal, surety, guarantor, endorser or otherwise, hereby waive presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind.

Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

FORM OF BORROWER CERTIFICATE

AFFILIATED MANAGERS GROUP, INC.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is being furnished to you pursuant to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Credit Agreement”), among Affiliated Managers Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the several banks and other financial institutions from time to time parties thereto as Lenders. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

We have acted as counsel to the Borrower, the Delaware corporations identified on Exhibit A hereto (the “Delaware Corporations”), the Delaware limited liability companies identified on Exhibit A hereto (the “Delaware LLCs”), the Delaware partnership identified on Exhibit A hereto (the “Delaware Partnership,” and, together with the Delaware Corporations, Delaware LLCs and the Borrower, the “Delaware Entities”), Xxxxx & Xxxxxx, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (“Xxxxx”), and First Quadrant Corp., a New Jersey corporation (“First Quadrant” and, together with the Delaware Entities and Xxxxx, the “Loan Parties”), in connection with the Credit Agreement, the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement and the Notes being delivered today by the Loan Parties under the Credit Agreement (which agreements and instruments are referred to herein collectively as the “Credit Documents”).

We have examined such certificates, documents and records and have made such investigation of fact and such examination of law as we have deemed appropriate in order to enable us to render the opinions set forth herein. In conducting such investigation, we have relied, without independent verification, upon certificates of officers of the Loan Parties, public officials and other appropriate Persons, and on the covenants as to the application of proceeds contained in the Credit Documents.

The opinions expressed herein are limited to matters governed by the laws of the State of New York and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Delaware Revised Uniform Partnership Act, the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, and the federal laws of the United States of America (collectively, the “Covered Laws”). For purposes of rendering the opinions expressed below, we have assumed that the Delaware Partnership is governed as a general partnership under Delaware law.

We have assumed that First Quadrant (a) is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of New Jersey, (b) has the corporate power to conduct the business in which it is engaged, to execute and deliver each of the Credit Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder, and (c) has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Credit Documents to which it is a party.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and subject to the additional qualifications set forth below, we are of the opinion that:

1. Each of the Borrower and the Delaware Corporations (a) is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and (b) has the corporate power to execute and deliver each of the Credit Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder.

2. Each of the Delaware LLCs (a) is validly existing as a limited liability company and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and (b) has the power under its limited liability company agreement and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act to execute and deliver each of the Credit Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder.

3. The Delaware Partnership (a) is validly existing as a partnership and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and (b) has the power under its partnership agreement to execute and deliver each of the Credit Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder.

4. Xxxxx (a) is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and (b) has the corporate power to execute and deliver each of the Credit Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder.

5. Each of the Delaware Entities and Xxxxx has duly authorized, executed and delivered each of the Credit Documents to which it is a party.

6. Subject to the qualifications set forth in the unnumbered paragraphs at the end hereof, each of the Credit Documents constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such of the Loan Parties as are party thereto and is enforceable against each such Person in accordance with its terms.

7. The execution and delivery by the Loan Parties of the Credit Documents to which each such Person is party, and the performance by each such Person of its obligations thereunder, (a) will not violate any Covered Laws, (b) will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default), or require the repurchase of securities under, any of the agreements, instruments, court orders, judgments and decrees listed on Exhibit B hereto and (c) will not violate or require the repurchase of securities under the governing documents of any of the Delaware Entities or Xxxxx.

8. Except as may be required in order to perfect the Liens contemplated by any of the Credit Documents, under the Covered Laws, no consent, approval, license or exemption by, or order or authorization of, or filing, recording or registration with, any governmental authority is required to be obtained by any Loan Party in connection with the execution and delivery of the Credit Documents to which such Person is party or the performance by each such Person of its obligations thereunder.

9. We are not representing any of the Loan Parties in any pending litigation in which it is a named defendant that challenges the validity or enforceability of, or seeks to enjoin the performance of, the Credit Documents.

10. None of the Loan Parties is required to be registered as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

11. Neither the making of the Loans under the Credit Agreement, nor the application of the proceeds thereof on the date hereof as provided in the Credit Agreement, will violate Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

Our opinion that the Credit Documents to which the Loan Parties are party constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such of the foregoing Persons as are party thereto, enforceable against each such Person party thereto in accordance with its terms, is subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and other laws of general application affecting the rights and remedies of creditors and secured parties and (ii) general principles of equity.

The opinions expressed herein do not purport to cover, and we express no opinion with respect to, the applicability of Section 548 of the federal Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state law or the enforceability of the provision contained in the last sentence in Section 2(a) of the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement, which purports to limit the obligations of any Guarantor thereunder or the effect of the unenforceability of such provision on the enforceability of the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement.

The opinions expressed herein are subject to the qualification that the enforceability of provisions in the Credit Documents providing for indemnification or contribution may be limited by public policy considerations. In addition, we express no opinion as to (i) the extent to which broadly worded waivers may be enforced, (ii) the enforceability of any provision of the Credit Documents which purports to grant the right of setoff to an affiliate of a lender or a purchaser of a participation in the loans outstanding thereunder, which permits the exercise of a right of setoff against amounts not then due, which provides for interest on interest or automatic compounding of interest, liquidated damages or prepayment premiums, or which is determined to constitute a penalty or forfeiture or (iii) the extent to which provisions providing for conclusive presumptions or determinations, non-effectiveness of oral modifications, arbitration, waiver of venue, or waiver of offset or defenses will be enforced. In connection with the provisions of the Credit Documents whereby the parties submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the United States of America located in the State of New York, we note the limitations of 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1332 on subject matter jurisdiction of the federal courts.

In addition, certain provisions contained in the Credit Documents, including the grant of powers of attorney thereunder, may be unenforceable in whole or in part, but the inclusion of such provisions in the Credit Documents does not affect the validity of any of the other provisions thereof, and the remaining

provisions of the Credit Documents are sufficient for the practical realization of the benefits intended to be provided thereby.

This opinion is being furnished only to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and is solely for their benefit and the benefit of their assignees who become Lenders under the Credit Documents. This opinion may not be relied upon for any other purpose or by any other Person without our prior written consent.

	Very truly yours,

FORM OF CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT

[LETTERHEAD OF INFORMATION RECIPIENT]

[Name and Address of

Information Provider]

Dear Sirs:

In connection with our interest in entering into a transaction (“Transaction”) to purchase [a participation interest in] [an assignment of] the rights of a Lender pursuant to Section 10.6 of the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of January 12, 2011 (as amended or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) among Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (the “Company”), various financial institutions and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, the Company is furnishing us with certain information which is either non-public, confidential or proprietary in nature. All information furnished (irrespective of the form of communication) to us, our agents or our representatives, including without limitation attorneys, accountants, consultants and financial advisors (collectively, “representatives”), by the Company or any of its representatives, and all analyses, compilations, data, studies or other documents prepared by us or our representatives containing, or based in whole or in part on, any such furnished information or reflecting our review or assessment of the Company are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Information”. In consideration of our being furnished with the Information, we agree that:

1. The Information will be kept confidential, will not, without the prior written consent of the Company or except as required by law (including to bank regulators and examiners) and then only with prior written notice as soon as possible to the Company (provided that such written notice shall not be required for ordinary course disclosures pursuant to requests by bank regulators and examiners or to the extent prohibited by law or legal process), be disclosed by us or our representatives, in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, and will not be used by us or our representatives directly or indirectly for any purpose other than evaluating a Transaction. Moreover, we agree to transmit the Information only to those representatives who need to know the Information for the purpose of evaluating a Transaction, who are informed by us of the confidential nature of the Information and who are provided with a copy of this Confidentiality Agreement (this “Agreement”) and agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. We will be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by our representatives.

E-1

2. Without the Company’s prior written consent, we and our representatives will not disclose to any other person the fact that the Information has been made available, that discussions or negotiations are taking place concerning a possible transaction involving us and the Company or any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect to any such possible transaction, including the status thereof, except as required by law (including to bank regulators and examiners) and then only with prior written notice as soon as possible to the Company (provided that such written notice shall not be required for ordinary course disclosures pursuant to requests by bank regulators and examiners or to the extent prohibited by law or legal process). The term “person” as used in this letter shall be interpreted to include, without limitation, the media and any corporation, company, group, partnership or individual.

3. The Information and all copies thereof will be destroyed or returned immediately, without retaining any copies thereof, (a) if we do not within a reasonable time proceed with a Transaction or (b) at any earlier time that the Company so requests; provided that we may retain copies of Information as required by law (including bank regulations), pursuant to our customary document retention policies or in back-up tapes or similar electronic form. Notwithstanding the return or destruction of the Information, we and our representatives will continue to be bound by our obligations hereunder.

4. This Agreement shall be inoperative as to such portions of the Information which (a) are or become generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by us or our representatives; (b) become available to us on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Company or one of its representatives which has represented to us that it is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the Company or any other party with respect to any portion of the Information; or (c) were known to us on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure to us by the Company or one of its representatives.

5. We understand that the Company has endeavored to include in the Information those materials which are believed to be reliable and relevant for the purpose of our evaluation, but we acknowledge that the Company and its representatives make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the Information. We agree that the Company and its representatives shall have no liability to us or to any of our representatives as a result of the use of the Information by us and our representatives, it being understood that only those particular representations and warranties which may be made by the Company in a definitive agreement, when, as and if it is executed, and subject to such limitations and restrictions as may be specified in such definitive agreement, shall have any legal effect. We further agree that unless and until a definitive agreement regarding a Transaction has been executed, neither we nor the Company will be under any legal obligation of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Transaction by virtue of this Agreement except for the matters specifically agreed to herein. We acknowledge and agree that the Company reserves the right to exercise its consent rights under the Credit Agreement (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

6. In the event that we or anyone to whom we transmit the Information pursuant to this Agreement are requested or become legally compelled (by oral questions, interrogatories, request for information or documents, subpoena, criminal or civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any of the Information, we will (so long as not prohibited

E-2

by law or legal process) provide the Company with prompt written notice so that the Company may seek (with our cooperation, if so requested by the Company) a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or the Company waives compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, we will furnish only that portion of the Information which is legally required and will exercise reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Information.

7. We acknowledge that we are aware, and we will advise our representatives who receive Information, that the U.S. securities laws restrict any person who has material, non-public information concerning the Company from purchasing or selling securities of the Company (and options, warrants and rights relating thereto).

8. We agree that the Company shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, in the event of any actual or threatened breach of this Agreement. Such remedies shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Agreement by us or our representatives but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or equity.

9. It is further understood and agreed that no failure or delay by the Company in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder.

10. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed within such State.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SUBORDINATED INDEBTEDNESS

Subordination Provisions

(a) General. This [ ], including all principal, interest, fees, costs, enforcement expense (including legal fees and disbursements), and any other reimbursement and indemnity obligations created or evidenced by this [ ], or any prior, concurrent or subsequent notes, instruments, or agreements of indebtedness, liabilities or obligations of any type or form whatsoever relating thereto in favor of [the Payee] (“Subordinated Debt”) and any and all documents or instruments evidencing, guaranteeing or securing directly or indirectly any of the foregoing, whether now existing or hereafter created (“Subordinated Documents”), shall be and hereby are subordinated and the payment thereof is deferred until the full and final payment in cash of the Senior Debt, whether now or hereafter incurred or owed by the Maker. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, the Maker shall be permitted to pay, and [the Payee] shall be permitted to receive, any regularly scheduled payment of interest or principal on this [ ], so long as at the time of such payment, such payment is permitted and no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing, in each case under the terms and provisions of any Senior Debt or would occur after giving effect thereto.

(b) Enforcement. [The Payee] will not take or omit to take any action or assert any claim with respect to the Subordinated Debt or otherwise which is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section [ ]. Without limiting the foregoing, [the Payee] will not assert, collect or enforce the Subordinated Debt or any part thereof or take any action to foreclose or realize upon the Subordinated Debt or any part thereof or enforce any of the Subordinated Documents except (i) in each such case as necessary, so long as no default or event of default has occurred and is then continuing under the terms and provisions of any Senior Debt or would occur after giving effect thereto, to collect any sums expressly permitted to be paid by the Maker pursuant to Section [ ](a) above or (ii) to the extent (but only to such extent) that the commencement of a legal action may be required to toll the running of any applicable statute of limitations. Until the Senior Debt has been finally paid in full in cash, [the Payee] shall not have any right of subrogation, reimbursement, restitution, contribution or indemnity whatsoever from any assets of the Maker or any guarantor of or provider of collateral security for any Senior Debt. [The Payee] further waives any and all rights with respect to marshalling.

(c) Payments Held in Trust. [The Payee] will hold in trust and immediately pay over to the holders of Senior Debt, in the same form of payment received, with appropriate endorsements, for application to the Senior Debt, any cash (or cash equivalent) amount that the Maker pays to [the Payee] with respect to the Subordinated Debt, or as collateral for the Senior Debt any other assets of the Maker that [the Payee] may receive with respect to Subordinated Debt, in each case except with respect to payments expressly permitted pursuant to Section [ ](a) above.

F-1

(d) Defense to Enforcement. If [the Payee], in contravention of the terms of this [ ], shall commence, prosecute or participate in any suit, action or proceeding against the Maker, then the Maker may interpose as a defense or plea the agreements in this [ ], and any holder of Senior Debt may intervene and interpose such defense or plea in its name or in the name of the Maker. If [the Payee], in contravention of the terms of this [ ], shall attempt to collect any of the Subordinated Debt or enforce any of the Subordinated Documents, then any holder of Senior Debt or the Maker may, by virtue of this Agreement, restrain the enforcement thereof in the name of any holder of Senior Debt or in the name of the Maker. If [the Payee], in contravention of the terms of this Agreement, obtains any cash or other assets of the Maker as a result of any administrative, legal or equitable actions, or otherwise, [the Payee] agrees forthwith to pay, deliver and assign to the holders of Senior Debt, with appropriate endorsements, any such cash (or cash equivalent) for application to the Senior Debt and any such other assets as collateral for the Senior Debt.

(e) Bankruptcy, Etc.

(i) At any meeting of creditors of the Maker or in the event of any case or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, for the distribution, division or application of all or part of the assets of the Maker or the proceeds thereof, whether such case or proceeding be for the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Maker or its business, a receivership, insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding, an assignment for the benefit of creditors or a proceeding by or against the Maker for relief under the federal Bankruptcy Code or any other bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency law or any other law relating to the relief of debtors, readjustment of indebtedness, reorganization, arrangement, composition or extension or marshalling of assets or otherwise, the holders of Senior Debt are hereby irrevocably authorized at any such meeting or in any such proceeding to receive or collect any cash or other assets of the Maker distributed, divided or applied by way of dividend or payment, or any securities issued on account of any Subordinated Debt, and apply such cash to or hold such other assets or securities as collateral for the Senior Debt, and to apply to the Senior Debt any cash proceeds of any realization upon such other assets or securities that the holders of Senior Debt elect to effect, until all of the Senior Debt shall have been paid in full in cash.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section[ ](e)(i) above, [the Payee] shall be entitled to receive and retain any securities of the Maker or any other corporation or other entity provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment provided that: (x) the payment of such securities is subordinate, at least to the extent provided in this [ ] with respect to Subordinated Debt, to the payment of all Senior Debt under any such plan of reorganization or readjustment, (y) the rights of the holders of the Senior Debt are not, without the consent of such holders, altered or impaired by such arrangement, reorganization or readjustment, and (z) all other terms of such arrangement, reorganization or readjustment are acceptable to the holders of Senior Debt.

(iii) [[The Payee] undertakes and agrees for the benefit of each holder of Senior Debt to execute, verify, deliver and file any proof of claim, consent, assignment or other instrument which any holder of Senior Debt may at any time require in order to prove and realize upon any right or claim pertaining to the Subordinated Debt and to effectuate the full benefit of

F-2

the subordination contained herein; and upon failure of [the Payee] so to do prior to 30 days before the expiration any such holder of Senior Debt shall be deemed irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney-in-fact of [the Payee] to execute, verify, deliver and file any such proof of claim, consent, assignment or other instrument.](11)

(iv) At any such meeting of creditors or in the event of any such case or proceeding, [the Payee] shall not vote with respect to any plan of partial or complete liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, composition or extension, or take any other action in any way so as to contest (i) the validity of any Senior Debt or any collateral therefor or guaranties thereof, (ii) the relative rights and duties of any holders of any Senior Debt established in any instruments or agreements creating or evidencing any of the Senior Debt with respect to any of such collateral or guaranties or (iii) [the Payee]’s obligations and agreements set forth in this Agreement.

(f) Freedom of Dealing. [The Payee] agrees that the Maker may, from time to time and at any time, incur additional Senior Debt as it deems necessary, appropriate or desirable in its sole discretion. [The Payee] agrees, with respect to any and all Senior Debt and any and all collateral therefor or guaranties thereof, that the Maker and the holders of Senior Debt may agree to increase the amount of any Senior Debt or otherwise modify the terms of any Senior Debt, and the holders of Senior Debt may grant extensions of the time of payment or performance to and make compromises, including releases of collateral or guaranties, and settlements with the Maker and all other persons, in each case without the consent of [the Payee] and without affecting the agreements of [the Payee] contained in this [ ]; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section [ ](f) shall constitute a waiver of the right of the Maker itself to agree to or consent to a settlement or compromise of a claim which any holder of Senior Debt may have against the Maker.

(g) Sale of Subordinated Debt. [The Payee] will not, at any time while this Agreement is in effect, sell, transfer, pledge, assign, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any Subordinated Debt to any person other than a person who agrees in a writing, satisfactory in form and substance to the Maker and the holders of a majority of the then outstanding principal amount of Senior Debt, to be bound by all of the obligations of [the Payee] hereunder. In the case of any such disposition by [the Payee], [the Payee] will use its best efforts to notify each holder of Senior Debt at least 10 days prior to the date of any of such intended disposition.

(h) Continuation of Subordination. To the extent that the Maker or any guarantor of or provider of collateral for the Senior Debt makes any payment on the Senior Debt that is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or set aside or is required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause (such payment being hereinafter referred to as a “Voided Payment”), then to the extent of such Voided Payment, that portion of the Senior Debt that had been previously satisfied by such Voided Payment shall be revived and continue in full force and effect (and continue to have the benefit of the subordination provisions hereof) as if

(11) This clause (iii) shall only be required for Subordinated Payment Notes issued on or after the Closing Date.

F-3

such Voided Payment had never been made. To the extent that [the Payee] has received any payments with respect to Subordinated Debt subsequent to the date of the initial receipt of such Voided Payment by a holder of Senior Debt and such payments have not been invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other party under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, [the Payee] shall be obligated and hereby agrees that any such payment so made or received shall be deemed to have been received in trust for the benefit of the recipient of the Voided Payment, and [the Payee] hereby agrees to pay to the recipient of the Voided Payment, upon demand, the full amount so received by [the Payee] during such period of time to the extent necessary fully to restore to the recipient of the Voided Payment the amount of such Voided Payment.

(i) Continuing Agreement.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

FORM OF

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY

This SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY dated as of , 20 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Guaranty”) is made by the parties signatory hereto (each a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”) in favor of Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), and the Lenders (as defined below) under the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of January 12, 2011 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) among Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (the “Borrower”), various financial institutions (the “Lenders”) and the Administrative Agent.

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have severally agreed to make Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to the Borrower;

WHEREAS, each Guarantor will benefit from the making of the Loans and is willing to guaranty the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined below); and

NOW, THEREFORE, each Guarantor agrees with the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, as follows:

1. Definitions and Interpretation. (a) Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the respective meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.

(a) The following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Guaranteed Obligations” means the collective reference to all Obligations, including all unpaid principal of and interest on the Loans and all other obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (including interest accruing at the then applicable rate provided in the Credit Agreement after the maturity of the Loans and interest accruing at the then applicable rate provided in the Credit Agreement after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, relating to the Borrower, whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, or now existing or hereafter incurred, that may arise under, out of or in connection with the Credit Agreement, any Loan Document or any other document made, delivered or given in connection therewith, in each case whether on account of principal, interest, reimbursement obligations, fees, indemnities, costs, expenses or otherwise (including all fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent or to the Lenders that are required to be paid by the Borrower or any other Loan Party pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document).

K-1

(b) The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Guaranty shall refer to this Guaranty as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Guaranty, and Section references are to this Guaranty unless otherwise specified.

(c) The meanings given to terms defined herein shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms.

(d) The term “including” is not limiting and means “including without limitation”.

2. Guarantee. (a) Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance when due and payable (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Guaranteed Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non-perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Guaranteed Obligations (other than payment) which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty, and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be limited to the maximum amount of the Guaranteed Obligations that such Guarantor may guaranty without rendering its obligations under this Guaranty void or voidable with respect to such Guarantor under any fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer law.

(b) To the extent permitted by law, the guaranty hereunder shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional and irrevocable guaranty of payment without regard to (i) the validity or unenforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any collateral security therefor or other guaranty or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender; (ii) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) that may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower or any Guarantor or any other Person against the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Person, (iii) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document, (iv) any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Guaranty, any other Loan Document, (v) any release, impairment or invalidity of any other guaranty for the Guaranteed Obligations (or any portion thereof), (vi) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Borrower or the Borrower’s assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Borrower contained in the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or (vii) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower or any Guarantor), other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, that constitutes, or might be construed to

K-2

constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower for the Guaranteed Obligations, or of any Guarantor under this Guaranty, in bankruptcy or in any other instance.

(c) Each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments have terminated and all Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash. If at any time any payment of principal, interest or any other amount payable by the Borrower under or in connection with the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, any other Person or otherwise, each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

(d) Each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the Borrower or any other Person.

(e) Each Guarantor shall make all payments hereunder without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless such Guarantor is compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding. If any such obligation (other than one arising with respect to taxes based on or measured by the income or profits of any of the Administrative Agent or any Lender) is imposed upon such Guarantor with respect to any amount payable by it hereunder, the Guarantor will pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto, on the date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder, such additional amount in Dollars as shall be necessary to enable the such Person to receive the same net amount which such Person would have received on such due date had no such obligation been imposed upon the Guarantor. For the avoidance of doubt, Guaranteed Obligations hereunder are subject to the Borrower’s right to set-off or counterclaim and deduct for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature imposed by any jurisdiction or to withhold additional amounts requested by Lenders, in each case, pursuant to the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document as if such Guaranteed Obligations were being paid directly by the Borrower. The obligations of the Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Guaranty.

(f) Notwithstanding any payment made by or for the account of the Borrower pursuant to this Section, no Guarantor shall be subrogated to any right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or have any right to obtain reimbursement from the Borrower, until such time as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have received final payment in cash of the full amount of the Guaranteed Obligations and the Commitments shall have terminated.

(g) If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Borrower under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject

K-3

to acceleration under the terms of the Credit Agreement shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent.

3. Notices. All notices, requests and demands hereunder shall be given, and shall be deemed received, in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement. Each Guarantor (a) irrevocably designates the Borrower as its agent to receive any such notice, request or demand and (b) agrees that any notice received, or deemed received, by the Borrower shall conclusively be deemed to have been received by such Guarantor.

4. Severability. Any provision of this Guaranty that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

5. Amendments in Writing; No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. (a) None of the terms or provisions of this Guaranty may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by the Guarantors and the Administrative Agent.

(b) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to clause (a) above), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that the Administrative Agent or such Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion.

(c) The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

(d) One or more additional Persons may become parties hereto from time to time, as described in and in accordance with the Credit Agreement, by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a counterpart signature page hereof. Immediately upon such execution and delivery (and without any further action), each such additional Person will become a party to, and will be bound by all of the terms of, this Guaranty.

6. Section Headings. The section headings used in this Guaranty are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

7. Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty shall be binding upon the Guarantors and their-respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns.

8. GOVERNING LAW. THIS GUARANTY AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

9. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Guaranty, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect hereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the Courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

(b) agrees that any such action or proceeding may be brought in (or removed to) such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Guarantor in care of the Borrower at its address provided in Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or limit the right to xxx in any other jurisdiction; and

10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH GUARANTOR AND (BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS HEREOF) THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FOR ITSELF AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

11. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Guaranty may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Guaranty and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties

K-5

Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Guaranty by telecopier (or electronic mail (in PDF format)) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Guaranty.
