If the Term Loan is not advanced by the Term Loan Lenders on or within fourteen (14) days following the Closing Date, the obligations of the Term Loan Lenders to make the Term Loan shall terminate.

2.2. Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) calculated at the rate per annum of the Applicable Margin with respect to the Commitment Fee as in effect from time to time on the actual daily amount during each calendar quarter or portion thereof from the Closing Date to the Maturity Date by which the Total Commitment minus the sum of the Maximum Drawing Amount and all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations exceeds the outstanding amount of Revolving Credit Loans (excluding Swing Line Loans) during such calendar quarter. The Commitment Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter for such calendar quarter commencing on the first such date following the Closing Date, with a final payment on the Maturity Date or any earlier date on which the Commitments shall terminate.

-35-

2.3. Reduction of Total Commitment. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time upon five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent to reduce by $500,000 or an integral multiple thereof or to terminate entirely the Total Commitment, whereupon the Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be reduced pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages of the amount specified in such notice or, as the case may be, terminated. Promptly after receiving any notice of the Borrower delivered pursuant to this §2.3, the Administrative Agent will notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of the substance thereof. Upon the effective date of any such reduction or termination, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the respective accounts of the Revolving Credit Lenders the full amount of any Commitment Fee then accrued on the amount of the reduction. No reduction or termination of the Commitments may be reinstated. If, after giving effect to any reduction of the Total Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Total Commitments, such Letter of Credit Sublimit or Swingline Sublimit, as applicable, shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.

2.4. Evidence of Debt. (a) The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a promissory note of the Borrower (i) in substantially the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto (each a “Revolving Credit Note”), which shall evidence such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans and/or (ii) in substantially the form of Exhibit B-2 hereto (each a “Term Loan Note”), which shall evidence such Lender’s portion of the Term Loan, in each case, in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note(s) and endorse thereon the date, amount, interest rate and maturity of such Lender’s Loans and payments with respect thereto.

(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a) above, each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the

-36-

Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

2.5. Interest. Except as otherwise provided in §5.10,

(a) Each Revolving Credit Loan which is a Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto at the rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin with respect to Base Rate Loans as in effect from time to time; provided, however, in the event that the interest rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans is less than the Eurodollar Rate then applicable for an Interest Period of one month plus the Applicable Margin with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans in effect at such time, each Revolving Credit Loan which is a Base Rate Loan shall bear interest at the rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate then applicable for an Interest Period of one month plus the Applicable Margin with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans in effect at such time.

(b) Each Revolving Credit Loan which is a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto at the rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans as in effect from time to time.

(c) Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest from the applicable Drawdown Date thereof at the rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin with respect to Base Rate Loans as in effect from time to time; provided, however, that in the event the interest rate per annum applicable to Swing Line Loans is less than the Eurodollar Rate then applicable for an Interest Period of one month plus the Applicable Margin with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans in effect at such time, each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest at the rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate then applicable for an Interest Period of one month plus the Applicable Margin with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans in effect at such time.

(d) Any portion of the Term Loan which is a Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto at the rate per annum equal to (i) at all times prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin with respect to Base Rate Loans as in effect from time to time plus 0.25%, and (ii) at all other times, the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin with respect to Base Rate Loans as in effect from time to time; provided, however, in the event that the interest rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans is less than the Eurodollar Rate then applicable for an Interest

-37-

Period of one month plus the Applicable Margin with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans in effect at such time, any portion of the Term Loan which is a Base Rate Loan shall bear interest at the rate per annum equal to (i) at all times prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Eurodollar Rate then applicable for an Interest Period of one month plus the Applicable Margin with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans in effect at such time plus 0.25% and (ii) at all other times, the Eurodollar Rate then applicable for an Interest Period of one month plus the Applicable Margin with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans in effect at such time.

(e) Any portion of the Term Loan which is a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto at the rate per annum equal to (i) at all times prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Eurodollar Rate determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans as in effect from time to time plus 0.25% and (ii) at all other times, the Eurodollar Rate determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans as in effect from time to time.

The Borrower promises to pay interest on each Revolving Credit Loan, the Term Loan (and any portion thereof) and each Swing Line Loan in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect thereto.

2.6. Requests for Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrower shall give to the Administrative Agent written notice in the form of Exhibit C hereto (or telephonic notice confirmed in a writing in the form of Exhibit C hereto) of each Revolving Credit Loan requested hereunder (a “Loan Request”) no less than (a) two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date of any Base Rate Loan and (b) four (4) Eurodollar Business Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date of any Eurodollar Rate Loan. Each such notice shall specify (i) the principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loan requested, (ii) the proposed Drawdown Date of such Revolving Credit Loan, (iii) the Interest Period for such Revolving Credit Loan and (iv) the Type of such Revolving Credit Loan. Promptly upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall notify each of the Lenders thereof. Each Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept the Revolving Credit Loan requested from the Lenders on the proposed Drawdown Date. Each Loan Request relating to a Base Rate Loan shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $500,000 and each Loan Request relating to a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000.

2.7. Conversion Options.

2.7.1. Conversion to Different Type of Loan. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert any outstanding Loan to a Loan of another Type, provided that (a) with respect to any such conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Loan to

-38-

a Base Rate Loan, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice of such election; (b) with respect to any such conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at least four (4) Eurodollar Business Days prior written notice of such election; (c) with respect to any such conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Loan into a Base Rate Loan, such conversion shall only be made on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto and (d) no Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Rate Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. On the date on which such conversion is being made each Lender shall take such action as is necessary to transfer its Commitment Percentage or Term Loan Percentage, as the case may be, of such Loans to its Domestic Lending Office or its Eurodollar Lending Office, as the case may be. All or any part of outstanding Loans of any Type may be converted into a Loan of another Type as provided herein, provided that any partial conversion shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $500,000, in the case of conversion to Base Rate Loans, and $1,000,000 in the case of conversion to Eurodollar Rate Loans. Each Conversion Request relating to the conversion of a Loan to a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be irrevocable by the Borrower.

2.7.2. Continuation of Type of Loan. A Loan of any Type may be continued as a Loan of the same Type upon the expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto by compliance by the Borrower with the notice provisions contained in §2.7.1; provided that no Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued as such when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the first Interest Period relating thereto ending during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default of which officers of the Administrative Agent active upon the Borrower’s account have actual knowledge. In the event that the Borrower fails to provide any such notice with respect to the continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loan as such, then such Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the first Interest Period relating thereto. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly when any such automatic conversion contemplated by this §2.7 is scheduled to occur.

2.7.3. Eurodollar Rate Loans. Any conversion to or from Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of all Eurodollar Rate Loans having the same Interest Period shall not be less than $1,000,000. No more than five (5) Eurodollar Rate Loans having different Interest Periods may be outstanding at any time.

2.8. Funds for Loans.

2.8.1. Funding Procedures. Not later than 1:00 p.m. (Boston time) on the proposed Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loans, each of the Lenders will make available to the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent’s

-39-

Office, in immediately available funds, the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of the requested Revolving Credit Loans. Upon receipt from each Lender of such amount, and upon receipt of the documents required by §§11 and 12 and the satisfaction of the other conditions set forth therein, to the extent applicable, the Administrative Agent will make available to the Borrower the aggregate amount of such Revolving Credit Loans made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders.

2.8.2. Advances by Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may, unless notified to the contrary by any Lender prior to a Drawdown Date, assume that such Lender has made available to the Administrative Agent on such Drawdown Date the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage or Term Loan Percentage, as the case may be, of the Loans to be made on such Drawdown Date, and the Administrative Agent may (but it shall not be required to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Loan available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Loan to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s share of the such Loan. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the relevant Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the relevant Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

-40-

(c) A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or any Borrower with respect to any amount owing under §§2.8.2(a) and (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

2.8.3. Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Revolving Credit Loans, the Term Loan, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to §14.7 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 §14.7 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 Loans, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under §14.7.

2.9. Change in Borrowing Base. The Borrowing Base shall be determined by the Administrative Agent upon receipt of each Loan Request and, in any case, no less frequently than monthly (and at such other intervals as may be specified pursuant to §8.4(f)) by reference to the Borrowing Base Report most recently delivered to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent pursuant to §8.4(h) and other information obtained by, or provided to, the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall give to the Borrower written notice of any change in the Borrowing Base determined by the Administrative Agent. Prior to the time any such notice becomes effective, the Borrowing Base shall be computed as it would have been computed in the absence of such notice.

2.10. Swing Line Loans.

2.10.1. The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in this §2.10, to make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day from the Closing Date until the Maturity Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans of the Revolving Credit Lender acting as the Swing Line Lender, when aggregated with such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the outstanding amount of Revolving Credit Loans plus such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the sum of the Maximum Drawing Amount and all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (a)(i) prior to the earlier of (x) the second anniversary of the Closing Date or (y) the date that the Borrower prepays (in whole or in part) any outstanding Interpool Convertible Subordinated Debt, the sum of the outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans plus the Maximum Drawing Amount and

-41-

all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations plus the outstanding amount of Swing Line Loans (after giving effect to all amounts requested) shall not at any time exceed the lesser of (A) the Total Commitment at such time and (B) the Borrowing Base at such time or (ii) at all other times, the sum of the outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans plus the Maximum Drawing Amount and all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations plus the outstanding amount of Swing Line Loans (after giving effect to all amounts requested) plus the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan shall not at any time exceed the lesser of (A) the Total Commitment at such time plus the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan at such time and (B) the Borrowing Base at such time and (b) the aggregate outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the outstanding amount of the Maximum Drawing Amount and all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations, plus such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the outstanding amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, and provided, further, that the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this §2.10, prepay under §3.3, and reborrow under this §2.10. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan. The Borrower hereby promises to repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) the date ten Business Days after such Swing Line Loan is made and (ii) the Maturity Date.

2.10.2. Borrowing Procedure. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso

-42-

to the first sentence of §2.10.1, or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in §§11 and 12 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower.

2.10.3. Refinancing of Swing Line Loans. (a) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Credit Lender make a Revolving Credit Loan which is a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Loan Request for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of §§2.1 and 2.6, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Total Commitments and the conditions set forth in §12. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Loan Request promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall make an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of the amount specified in such Loan Request available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Loan Request, whereupon, subject to §2.10.3(b), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

(b) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Committed Borrowing in accordance with §2.10.3(a), the request for Base Rate Loan submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Revolving Credit Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to §2.10.3(a) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(c) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this §2.10.3 by the time specified in §2.10.3(a), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Swing Line

-43-

Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Revolving Credit Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (c) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this §2.10.3 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Credit Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this §2.10.3 is subject to the conditions set forth in §12. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

2.10.4. Repayment of Participations. (a) At any time after any Revolving Credit Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its Commitment Percentage of such payment in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

(b) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender in connection with any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or otherwise (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Commitment Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

2.10.5. Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing

-44-

Line Loans. Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this §2.10 to refinance such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Commitment Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

2.10.6. Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

2.11. Increase in the Total Commitment.

2.11.1. Requests for Increase. Provided there exists no Default or Event of Default either before or immediately after giving effect to the increase provided for in this §2.11, and subject to the terms hereof, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Borrower may from time to time request an increase in the Total Commitment by an amount (for all such requests) not exceeding $10,000,000; provided that any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000. At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Revolving Credit Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders).

2.11.2. Lender Election to Increase. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Commitment Percentage of such requested increase. Any Revolving Credit Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment. No Revolving Credit Lender shall have any obligations to increase its Commitment.

2.11.3. Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Revolving Credit Lender of the Revolving Credit Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Revolving Credit Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.

2.11.4. Effective Date and Allocations. If the Total Commitment is increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Revolving Credit Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date.

-45-

2.11.5. Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to such increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of the Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in §7 and the other Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this §2.11, the representations and warranties contained in §7.4.2 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished to the Lenders, (B) no Default or Event of Default exists and (C) the sum of the outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans (after giving effect to all amounts requested on the increase Effective Date) plus the Maximum Drawing Amount and all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations plus the outstanding amount of Swing Line Loans does not exceed the lesser of (i) the Total Commitment at such time and (ii) the Borrowing Base at such time. The Borrower shall prepay any Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to §5.9) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans ratable with any revised Commitment Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the Commitments under this Section.

3. REPAYMENT OF THE LOANS.

3.1. Maturity. The Borrower promises to pay on the Maturity Date, and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the Maturity Date, all of the Revolving Credit Loans and the Term Loan outstanding on such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

3.2. Mandatory Repayments of Revolving Credit Loans and the Term Loan. If at any time (a) prior to the earlier of (x) the second anniversary of the Closing Date or (y) the date that the Borrower prepays (in whole or in part) any outstanding Interpool Convertible Subordinated Debt, the sum of the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans plus the Maximum Drawing Amount and all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations plus the outstanding amount of Swing Line Loans exceeds the lesser of (i) the Total Commitment at such time and (ii) the Borrowing Base at such time or (b) at all other times, the sum of the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans plus the Maximum Drawing Amount and all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations plus the outstanding amount of Swing Line Loans plus the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans exceeds the lesser of (i) the Total Commitment at such time plus the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans at

-46-

such time and (ii) the Borrowing Base at such time, then, in any case, the Borrower shall immediately pay the amount of such excess to the Administrative Agent for the respective accounts of the Lenders for application: first, to any Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations; second, to the Swing Line Loans; third, to the Revolving Credit Loans; fourth, to provide to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral for Reimbursement Obligations as contemplated by §4.2(b) and (c) and, on and after the second anniversary of the Closing Date, fifth, to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan (which amounts shall be applied to the quarterly installment payments set forth in §3.4 pro rata). Each payment of any Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations or prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans or the Term Loan shall be allocated among the applicable Lenders, in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to each Reimbursement Obligation or (as the case may be) the respective unpaid principal amount of each applicable Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan or Term Loan, with adjustments to the extent practicable to equalize any prior payments or repayments not exactly in proportion.

3.3. Optional Repayments of Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have the right, at its election, to repay the outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and/or the Term Loan, in each case, as a whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium, provided that any full or partial prepayment of the outstanding amount of any Eurodollar Rate Loans pursuant to this §3.3 may be made only on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto unless breakage costs incurred by the relevant Lenders in connection therewith are paid by the Borrower in accordance with §5.9. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m., Boston time, at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice of any proposed prepayment pursuant to this §3.3 of Base Rate Loans, and four (4) Eurodollar Business Days’ prior written notice of any proposed prepayment pursuant to this §3.3 of Eurodollar Rate Loans, in each case specifying the proposed date of prepayment of relevant Loans, the principal amount to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Periods of such Loans. Each such partial prepayment of the applicable Loans shall be in a principal amount of at least $200,000, shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest on the principal prepaid to the date of prepayment and shall be applied, in the absence of instruction by the Borrower, first, to the principal of Base Rate Loans and then to the principal of Eurodollar Rate Loans, at the Administrative Agent’s option. Each partial prepayment shall be allocated among the applicable Lenders, in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amount of each Lender’s applicable Loans, with adjustments to the extent practicable to equalize any prior repayments not exactly in proportion.

(b) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (ii) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

-47-

3.4. Repayment of the Term Loan.

The Borrower promises to pay the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan outstanding in equal quarterly installments each in the amount of $1,250,000.00, on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing on December 29, 2006, provided, that the final principal repayment installment of the Term Loan shall be made on the Maturity Date and shall be in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan outstanding on such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

4. LETTERS OF CREDIT.

4.1. Letter of Credit Commitments.

4.1.1. Commitment to Issue Letters of Credit. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, upon the execution and delivery by the Borrower of a letter of credit application on the L/C Issuer’s customary form (a “Letter of Credit Application”), the L/C Issuer on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders and in reliance upon the agreement of the Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in this §4 and upon the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained herein, agrees, in its individual capacity, to issue, extend and renew for the account of the Borrower one or more standby letters of credit (individually, a “Letter of Credit”), in such form as may be requested from time to time by the Borrower and agreed to by the L/C Issuer; provided, however, that, after giving effect to such request, (i) the sum of the aggregate Maximum Drawing Amount and all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit at any one time and (ii)(A) prior to the earlier of (x) the second anniversary of the Closing Date or (y) the date that the Borrower prepays (in whole or in part) any outstanding Interpool Convertible Subordinated Debt, the sum of the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans plus the Maximum Drawing Amount and all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations plus the outstanding amount of Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the lesser of (x) the Total Commitment at such time and (y) the Borrowing Base at such time or (B) at all other times, the sum of the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans plus the Maximum Drawing Amount and all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations plus the outstanding amount of Swing Line Loans plus the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans shall not exceed the lesser of (x) the Total Commitment at such time plus the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans at such time and (y) the Borrowing Base at such time. Each request by the Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the issuance or amendment so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the

-48-

Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.

(b) The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit, if:

(i) Subject to §4.1.6, the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date; or

(ii) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Lenders have approved such expiry date.

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

(ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;

(iii) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars;

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

(v) a default of any Revolving Credit Lender’s obligations to fund under §4.1.4 exists or any Revolving Credit Lender is at such time a Delinquent Lender hereunder, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to such Lender.

-49-

(d) The L/C Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.

(e) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(f) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in §14 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in §14 included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.

4.1.2. Procedures for the Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit. (a) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the L/C

-50-

Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may require.

(b) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or any Guarantor, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in §§11 or 12 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

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

4.1.3. Applicability of the ISP and Uniform Customs. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” (ISP) published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

4.1.4. Reimbursement Obligations of Lenders. Each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees that it shall be absolutely and unconditionally liable, without regard to the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default or any other condition precedent or circumstance whatsoever, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Credit Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever or (B) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, to the extent of such Revolving Credit Lender’s

-51-

Commitment Percentage, to reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent on demand for the amount of each draft paid by the L/C Issuer under each Letter of Credit to the extent that such amount is not reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to §4.2 (such agreement for a Lender being called herein the “Letter of Credit Participation” of such Lender).

4.1.5. Participations of Lenders. Each such payment made by a Revolving Credit Lender shall be treated as the purchase by such Lender of a participating interest in the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligation under §4.2 in an amount equal to such payment. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall share in accordance with its participating interest in any interest which accrues pursuant to §4.2 and in any applicable security for such Reimbursement Obligation.

4.1.6. Auto-Extension Letters of Credit. If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that (i) any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than on the date (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period as agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued and (ii) any extension of a Auto-Extension Letter of Credit shall not extend the expiry date of such Letter of Credit to a date later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of §4.1.1(b) or (c) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Borrower or any Guarantor that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in §12 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

4.2. Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. In order to induce the L/C Issuer to issue, extend and renew each Letter of Credit and the Revolving Credit Lenders to participate therein, the Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse or pay to the L/C Issuer, for the account of the L/C Issuer or (as the case may be) the Revolving Credit Lenders, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued, extended or amended by the L/C Issuer hereunder,

-52-

(a) except as otherwise expressly provided in §4.2(b) and (c), not later than 11:00 a.m. (Boston time) on each date that any draft presented under such Letter of Credit is honored (the “Honor Date”) by the L/C Issuer, or the L/C Issuer otherwise makes a payment with respect thereto, (i) the amount paid by the L/C Issuer under or with respect to such Letter of Credit, and (ii) the amount of any taxes, fees, charges or other costs and expenses whatsoever incurred by the L/C Issuer or any Lender in connection with any payment made by the L/C Issuer or any Lender under, or with respect to, such Letter of Credit,

(b) upon the reduction (but not termination) of the Total Commitment to an amount less than the Maximum Drawing Amount, an amount equal to such difference, which amount shall be held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer as Cash Collateral for all Reimbursement Obligations, and

(c) upon the termination of the Total Commitment, or the acceleration of the Reimbursement Obligations with respect to all Letters of Credit in accordance with §13, an amount equal to the then Maximum Drawing Amount on all Letters of Credit, which amount shall be held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer as Cash Collateral for all Reimbursement Obligations.

Each such payment shall be made to the L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in immediately available funds. Interest on any and all amounts remaining unpaid by the Borrower under this §4.2 at any time from the date such amounts become due and payable (whether as stated in this §4.2, by acceleration or otherwise) until payment in full (whether before or after judgment) shall be payable to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, on demand at the rate specified in §5.10 for overdue principal on the Revolving Credit Loans.

4.3. Letter of Credit Payments. (a) If any draft shall be presented or other demand for payment shall be made under any Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of the date and amount of the draft presented or demand for payment and of the date and time when it expects to pay such draft or honor such demand for payment. If the Borrower fails to reimburse the L/C Issuer as provided in §4.2 on or before the date that such draft is paid or other payment is made by the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may at any time thereafter notify the Lenders of the amount of any such Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation and the amount of each Lender’s Commitment Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Base Rate Loan to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in §2.6 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the other conditions set forth in §§2.1, 2.6 and 12 (other than the delivery of a Loan Request).

-53-

Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this §4.3 may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to §4.3 make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of the Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of §4.3(b), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.

(b) With respect to any Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation that is not fully refinanced by Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in §12 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate set forth in §5.10.1. In such event, each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to §4.3(a) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this §4.

(c) Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Commitment Percentage of the Loans or participations as set forth in this §4.3 to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.

(d) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this §4.3 by the time specified in §4.3, the applicable L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

-54-

(e) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Credit Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with §4.3, if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Commitment Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent. If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to §4.3 is required to be returned in connection with any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or otherwise (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Commitment Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

4.4. Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this §4 shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default or any condition precedent whatsoever or any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower may have or have had against the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit. The Borrower further agrees with the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under §4.2 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower, the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any financing institution or other party to which any Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims or defenses whatsoever of the Borrower against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent or any Lender under or in connection with each Letter of Credit and the related drafts and documents, if done in good faith and in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding upon the Borrower and shall not result in any liability on the part of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent or any Lender to the Borrower. The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of

-55-

noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

4.5. Role of Issuer. Each Revolving Credit Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in §4.4; provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

4.6. Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in respect of each Letter of Credit the following fees (each, a “Letter of Credit Fee”) computed for the period from and including the date of issuance, extension or amendment of such Letter of Credit to the expiry date of such Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Margin per annum with respect to Letter of Credit Fees of the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, which shall be for the accounts of the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment

Percentages. Such Letter of Credit Fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter (or portion thereof) for the immediately preceding calendar quarter and on the Maturity Date. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay a fronting fee at the rate per annum specified in the Fee Letter of the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, which shall be for the account of the L/C Issuer and which shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter (or portion thereof) for the immediately preceding calendar quarter and on the Maturity Date. In respect of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall also pay to the L/C Issuer for the L/C Issuer’s own account, at such other time or times as such charges are customarily made by the L/C Issuer, the L/C Issuer’s customary issuance, amendment, negotiation or document examination and other administrative fees as in effect from time to time. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

4.7. Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Maximum Drawing Amount and any Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations. Sections 3.2, 4.2(b), 4.2(c) and 4.3(e) set forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder. For purposes of this §4.7 and §§3.2, 4.2(b), 4.2(c) and 4.3(e), “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, as collateral for the Maximum Drawing Amount and any Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America.

4.8. Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

5. CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS.

5.1. Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay the fees in the amounts and on the terms and conditions set forth in the Fee Letter.

5.2. Funds for Payments.

5.2.1. Payments to Administrative Agent. All payments of principal, interest, Reimbursement Obligations, fees and any other amounts due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent in Dollars, for the respective accounts of the Lenders

-57-

and/or the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, at the Administrative Agent’s Office or at such other place that the Administrative Agent may from time to time designate, in each case at or about 11:00 a.m. (Boston, Massachusetts, time or other local time at the place of payment) and in immediately available funds.

5.2.2. No Offset, etc. All payments by the Borrower hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made without recoupment, 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 the Borrower is compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding. If any such obligation is imposed upon the Borrower with respect to any amount payable by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, the Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders or (as the case may be) the Administrative Agent, on the date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder or under such other Loan Document, such additional amount in Dollars as shall be necessary to enable the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to receive the same net amount which the Lenders or the Administrative Agent would have received on such due date had no such obligation been imposed upon the Borrower. The Borrower will deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent certificates or other valid vouchers for all taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by the Borrower hereunder or under such other Loan Document. Each Lender claiming any additional amounts payable under this §5.2.2 agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to execute and deliver all such documents and instruments as the Borrower shall reasonably request or to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if the execution of such documents or the making of such a change would avoid the need for or substantially reduce the amount of additional amounts which would thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole and absolute determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender, which determination by such Lender shall be conclusive. The Borrower shall not be liable for taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or any Lender that are based upon the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s net income or for any withholdings required to be made pursuant to applicable law that are credited against taxes based on the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s net income.

5.2.3. Non-U.S. Lenders. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent that is not a U.S. Person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code for federal income tax purposes (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) hereby agrees that, if and to the extent it is legally able to do so, it shall, prior to the date of the first payment by the Borrower hereunder to be made to such Lender or the Administrative Agent or for such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s account, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, as applicable, such certificates, documents or other

-58-

evidence, as and when required by the Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto, including (a) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is a “bank” for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, two (2) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI and any other certificate or statement of exemption required by Treasury Regulations, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender or the Administrative Agent establishing that with respect to payments of principal, interest or fees hereunder it is (i) not subject to United States federal withholding tax under the Code because such payment is effectively connected with the conduct by such Lender or Administrative Agent of a trade or business in the United States or (ii) totally exempt or partially exempt from United States federal withholding tax under a provision of an applicable tax treaty and (b) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is not a “bank” for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a certificate in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and to the effect that (i) such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, is not subject to regulatory or other legal requirements as a bank in any jurisdiction, and has not been treated as a bank for purposes of any tax, securities law or other filing or submission made to any governmental authority, any application made to a rating agency or qualification for any exemption from any tax, securities law or other legal requirements, (ii) is not a ten (10) percent shareholder for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code and (iii) is not a controlled foreign corporation receiving interest from a related person for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, together with a properly completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9, as applicable (or successor forms). Each Lender or the Administrative Agent agrees that it shall, promptly upon a change of its lending office or the selection of any additional lending office, to the extent the forms previously delivered by it pursuant to this section are no longer effective, and promptly upon the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s reasonable request after the occurrence of any other event (including the passage of time) requiring the delivery of a Form W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI, Form W-8 or W-9 in addition to or in replacement of the forms previously delivered, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent it is properly entitled to do so, a properly completed and executed Form W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI, Form W-8 or W-9, as applicable (or any successor forms thereto).

5.3. Computations. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans and Swing Line Loans when the Base Rate is determined by Bank of America’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Except as otherwise provided in the definition of the term “Interest Period” with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, whenever a payment hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date for such

-59-

payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such extension. The outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans as reflected on the Revolving Credit Note Records from time to time shall be considered correct and binding on the Borrower unless within five (5) Business Days after receipt of any notice by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders of such outstanding amount, the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall notify the Borrower to the contrary. The outstanding amount of the Term Loan as reflected on the Term Loan Note Records from time to time shall be considered correct and binding on the Borrower unless within five (5) Business Days after receipt of any notice by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders of such outstanding amount, the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall notify the Borrower to the contrary.

5.4. Inability to Determine Eurodollar Rate. In the event, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period relating to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent shall reasonably determine or be notified by the Required Lenders that (a) adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate that would otherwise determine the rate of interest to be applicable to any Eurodollar Rate Loan during any Interest Period or (b) the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining their Eurodollar Rate Loans during such period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice of such determination (which shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders) to the Borrower and the Lenders. In such event (i) any Loan Request or Conversion Request with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be automatically withdrawn and shall be deemed a request for Base Rate Loans, (ii) each Eurodollar Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current Interest Period relating thereto, become a Base Rate Loan, and (iii) the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent determines that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower and the Lenders.

5.5. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any present or future law, regulation, treaty or directive or the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans, such Lender shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances to the Borrower and the other Lenders and thereupon (a) the commitment of such Lender to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall forthwith be suspended and (b) such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Rate Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loans or within such earlier period as may be required by law. The Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, upon demand by such Lender, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this §5.5, including any interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its Eurodollar Rate Loans hereunder.

-60-

5.6. Additional Costs, etc. If any present or future applicable law, which expression, as used herein, includes statutes, rules and regulations thereunder and interpretations thereof by any competent court or by any governmental or other regulatory body or official charged with the administration or the interpretation thereof and requests, directives, instructions and notices at any time or from time to time hereafter made upon or otherwise issued to any Lender or the Administrative Agent by any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall:

(a) subject any Lender or the Administrative Agent to any tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, fee, deduction or withholding of any nature with respect to this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any Letters of Credit, such Lender’s Commitment or the Revolving Credit Loans (other than taxes based upon or measured by the income or profits of such Lender or the Administrative Agent or withholdings in connection with such taxes), or

(b) materially change the basis of taxation (except for changes in taxes on income or profits) of payments to any Lender of the principal of or the interest on any Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans or any other amounts payable to any Lender or the Administrative Agent under this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or

(c) impose or increase or render applicable (other than to the extent specifically provided for elsewhere in this Credit Agreement) any special deposit, reserve (other than reserves included within the definition of Eurocurrency Reserve Rate), assessment, liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law) against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, or letters of credit issued by, or commitments of an office of any Lender, or

(d) impose on any Lender or the Administrative Agent any other conditions or requirements with respect to this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any Letters of Credit, the Swing Line Loans, the Revolving Credit Loans, such Lender’s Commitment, or any class of loans, letters of credit or commitments of which any of the Revolving Credit Loans or such Lender’s Commitment forms a part, and the result of any of the foregoing is

(i) to increase the cost to any Lender of making, funding, issuing, renewing, extending or maintaining any of the Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans or such Lender’s Commitment or any Letter of Credit, or

(ii) to reduce the amount of principal, interest, Reimbursement Obligation or other amount payable to such Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder on account of such Lender’s Commitment, any Letter of Credit, any of the Swing Line Loans or any of the Revolving Credit Loans, or

-61-

(iii) to require such Lender or the Administrative Agent to make any payment or to forego any interest or Reimbursement Obligation or other sum payable hereunder, the amount of which payment or foregone interest or Reimbursement Obligation or other sum is calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum receivable or deemed received by such Lender or the Administrative Agent from the Borrower hereunder,

then, and in each such case, the Borrower will, upon demand made by such Lender or (as the case may be) the Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay to such Lender or the Administrative Agent such additional amounts as will be sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent for such additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest or Reimbursement Obligation or other sum.

5.7. Capital Adequacy. If after the date hereof any Lender or the Administrative Agent determines that (a) the adoption of or change in any law, governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) regarding capital requirements for Lenders or Lender holding companies or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by a Governmental Authority with appropriate jurisdiction, or (b) compliance by such Lender or the Administrative Agent or any corporation controlling such Lender or the Administrative Agent with any law, governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such entity regarding capital adequacy, has the effect of reducing the return on such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s commitment with respect to any Loans to a level below that which such Lender or the Administrative Agent could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender or (as the case may be) the Administrative Agent to be material, then such Lender or the Administrative Agent may notify the Borrower of such fact. To the extent that the amount of such reduction in the return on capital is not reflected in the Base Rate, the Borrower and such Lender shall thereafter attempt to negotiate in good faith, within thirty (30) days of the day on which the Borrower receives such notice, an adjustment payable hereunder that will adequately compensate such Lender in light of these circumstances. If the Borrower and such Lender are unable to agree to such adjustment within thirty (30) days of the date on which the Borrower receives such notice, then commencing on the date of such notice (but not earlier than the effective date of any such increased capital requirement), the fees payable hereunder shall increase by an amount that will, in such Lender’s reasonable determination, provide adequate compensation. Each Lender shall allocate such cost increases among its customers in good faith and on an equitable basis.

-62-

5.8. Certificate. A certificate setting forth any additional amounts payable pursuant to §5.6 or 5.7 and a brief explanation of such amounts which are due, submitted by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, that such amounts are due and owing.

5.9. Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from and against any loss, cost or expense (including loss of anticipated profits) that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in payment of the principal amount of or any interest on any Eurodollar Rate Loans as and when due and payable, including any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender to banks of funds obtained by it in order to maintain its Eurodollar Rate Loans, (b) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing or conversion after the Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Loan Request or a Conversion Request relating thereto in accordance with §2.6 or §2.7 or (c) the making of any payment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan or the making of any conversion of any such Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period with respect thereto, including interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain any such Loans.

5.10. Interest After Default.

5.10.1. Overdue Amounts. Overdue principal and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) interest on the Revolving Credit Loans, the Term Loan, the Swing Line Loans and all other overdue amounts payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall bear interest from the due date compounded monthly and payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) above the rate of interest then applicable thereto (or, if no rate of interest is then applicable thereto, the Base Rate) until such amount shall be paid in full (after as well as before judgment). An amount shall be considered overdue hereunder if not paid on the date fixed for payment herein or any accelerated maturity thereof, regardless of any grace periods which may be permitted under §13.1 (a) or (b) hereof.

5.10.2. Amounts Not Overdue. During the continuance of an Event of Default the principal of the Revolving Credit Loans and the Term Loan not overdue shall, until such Event of Default has been cured or remedied or such Event of Default has been waived by the Required Lenders pursuant to §16.12, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (a) two percent (2%) above the rate of interest otherwise applicable to such Revolving Credit Loans or the Term Loan (or portion thereof), as the case may be, pursuant to §2.5 or (b) the rate of interest applicable to overdue principal pursuant to §5.10.1.

6. COLLATERAL SECURITY AND GUARANTIES.

6.1. Security of Borrower. The Obligations shall be secured by a perfected first priority security interest (subject only to Permitted Liens that are entitled to priority

-63-

under applicable law) in all of the assets of the Borrower and, subject to §8.17, each Guarantor, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, including, without limitation, all leases, lease receivables and other accounts receivable of the Borrower and, subject to §8.17, each Guarantor, and a pledge of 100% of the Capital Stock of each of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries (or, in the case of a non-Guarantor Subsidiary that is a “controlled foreign corporation” under Section 957 of the Code, 66% of the Capital Stock of each such first-tier foreign non-Guarantor Subsidiary), in each case pursuant to the terms of, and as provided in, the Security Documents to which the Borrower or such Guarantor is a party.

6.2. Guaranties of Subsidiaries. The Obligations shall also be guaranteed pursuant to the terms of the Guaranty.

6.3. Release of Collateral.

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent shall release its Lien on Collateral consisting of Containers and the proceeds thereof upon a request for such release by the Borrower in connection with a disposition of such Collateral permitted by, and in accordance with, §9.5.2.

7. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

7.1.2. Authorization.

-64-

any of its Subsidiaries and (d) do not conflict with any provision of the Governing Documents of, or any agreement or other instrument binding upon, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

7.1.3. Enforceability. The execution and delivery of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is or is to become a party will result in valid and legally binding obligations of such Person enforceable against it in accordance with the respective terms and provisions hereof and thereof, except as enforceability is limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights and except to the extent that availability of the remedy of specific performance or injunctive relief is subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.

7.2. Governmental or Third Party Approvals.

The projections of the annual operating budgets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, balance sheets and cash flow statements for the 2006 to 2010 fiscal years, copies of which have been delivered to each Lender, disclose all major assumptions made with respect to general economic, financial and market conditions used in formulating such projections. To the knowledge of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, no facts exist that (individually or in the aggregate) would result in any material change in any of such projections. The projections are based upon reasonable estimates and assumptions, have been prepared on the basis of the assumptions stated therein and reflect the reasonable estimates of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries of the results of operations and other information projected therein.

7.4.4. No Internal Control Event. To the best knowledge of the Borrower, no Internal Control Event exists or has occurred since the Balance Sheet Date that has resulted in or could reasonably be expected to result in a misstatement in any material respect, in any financial information delivered or to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, of (i) covenant compliance calculations provided hereunder or (ii) the assets, liabilities, financial condition or results of operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

7.5. No Material Adverse Changes, etc. Since the Balance Sheet Date there has been no event or occurrence which has had or would result in a Material Adverse Effect. Since the Balance Sheet Date, the Borrower has not made any Restricted Payment other than Restricted Payments permitted under §9.4.

7.7. Litigation. Except as set forth in Schedule 7.7 hereto, there are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations of any kind pending or threatened against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries before any Governmental Authority, that (a) if adversely determined, might, either in any case or in the aggregate (i) have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) materially impair the right of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, considered as a whole, to carry on business substantially as now conducted by them, or

-66-

result in any substantial liability not adequately covered by insurance, or for which adequate reserves are not maintained on the consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, or (b) which question the validity of this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any action taken or to be taken pursuant hereto or thereto.

7.8. No Materially Adverse Contracts, etc. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to any Governing Document or other legal restriction, or any judgment, decree, order, law, statute, rule or regulation that has or is expected in the future to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any contract or agreement that has or is expected, in the judgment of the Borrower’s officers, to have any Material Adverse Effect.

7.9. Compliance with Other Instruments, Laws, etc. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any provision of its Governing Documents, or any agreement or instrument to which it may be subject or by which it or any of its properties may be bound or any decree, order, judgment, statute, license, rule or regulation, in any of the foregoing cases in a manner that could result in the imposition of substantial penalties or have a Material Adverse Effect.

7.10. Tax Status. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries (a) have made or filed all federal, state and foreign income and all other tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which any of them is subject, (b) have paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations, except those being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and (c) have set aside on their books provisions reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply.

7.11. No Event of Default. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

7.12. Holding Company and Investment Company Acts.

7.13. Absence of Financing Statements, etc. Except with respect to Permitted Liens, there is no financing statement, security agreement, chattel mortgage, real estate mortgage or other document filed or recorded with any filing records, registry or other public office, that purports to cover, affect or give notice of any present or possible future Lien on any assets or property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any rights relating thereto.

-67-

7.14. Perfection of Security Interest. All filings, assignments, pledges and deposits of documents or instruments have been made and all other actions have been taken that are necessary or advisable, under applicable law, to establish and perfect the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral. The Collateral and the Administrative Agent’s rights with respect to the Collateral are not subject to any setoff, claims, withholdings or other defenses. The Borrower is the owner of the Collateral free from any Lien, except for Permitted Liens.

7.15. Certain Transactions. Except for arm’s length transactions pursuant to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries makes payments in the ordinary course of business upon terms no less favorable than the Borrower or such Subsidiary could obtain from third parties and except pursuant to the terms of the documents described on Schedule 7.15 hereto, no Affiliate of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is presently a party to any transaction with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than for services as employees, officers and directors), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any such Affiliate or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, any corporation, partnership, trust or other entity in which any such Affiliate has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner.

7.16. Employee Benefit Plans.

7.16.1. In General. Each Employee Benefit Plan and each Guaranteed Pension Plan has been maintained and operated in compliance in all material respects with the provisions of ERISA and all Applicable Pension Legislation and, to the extent applicable, the Code, including but not limited to the provisions thereunder respecting prohibited transactions and the bonding of fiduciaries and other persons handling plan funds as required by §412 of ERISA. The Borrower has heretofore delivered to the Administrative Agent the most recently completed annual report, Form 5500, with all required attachments, and actuarial statement required to be submitted under §103(d) of ERISA, with respect to each Guaranteed Pension Plan.

7.16.2. Terminability of Welfare Plans. No Employee Benefit Plan, which is an employee welfare benefit plan within the meaning of §3(1) or §3(2)(B) of ERISA, provides benefit coverage subsequent to termination of employment, except as required by Title I, Part 6 of ERISA or the applicable state insurance laws. The Borrower, or an ERISA Affiliate (other than Interpool), as appropriate, may terminate each such Plan at any time (or at any time subsequent to the expiration of any applicable bargaining agreement) in the discretion of the Borrower or such ERISA Affiliate (other than Interpool) without material liability to any Person other than for claims arising prior to termination.

-68-

7.16.3. Guaranteed Pension Plans. Each contribution required to be made to a Guaranteed Pension Plan, whether required to be made to avoid the incurrence of an accumulated funding deficiency, the notice or lien provisions of §302(f) of ERISA, or otherwise, has been timely made. No waiver of an accumulated funding deficiency or extension of amortization periods has been received with respect to any Guaranteed Pension Plan, and neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate is obligated to or has posted security in connection with an amendment to a Guaranteed Pension Plan pursuant to §307 of ERISA or §401(a)(29) of the Code. No liability to the PBGC (other than required insurance premiums, all of which have been paid) has been incurred by the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate with respect to any Guaranteed Pension Plan and there has not been any ERISA Reportable Event (other than an ERISA Reportable Event as to which the requirement of 30 days notice has been waived), or any other event or condition which presents a material risk of termination of any Guaranteed Pension Plan by the PBGC. Based on the latest valuation of each Guaranteed Pension Plan (which in each case occurred within twelve months of the date of this representation), and on the actuarial methods and assumptions employed for that valuation, the aggregate benefit liabilities of all such Guaranteed Pension Plans within the meaning of §4001 of ERISA did not exceed the aggregate value of the assets of all such Guaranteed Pension Plans, disregarding for this purpose the benefit liabilities and assets of any Guaranteed Pension Plan with assets in excess of benefit liabilities.

7.16.4. Multiemployer Plans. Neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any material liability (including secondary liability) to any Multiemployer Plan as a result of a complete or partial withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan under §4201 of ERISA or as a result of a sale of assets described in §4204 of ERISA. Neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has been notified that any Multiemployer Plan is in reorganization or insolvent under and within the meaning of §4241 or §4245 of ERISA or is at risk of entering reorganization or becoming insolvent, or that any Multiemployer Plan intends to terminate or has been terminated under §4041A of ERISA.

7.17. Use of Proceeds.

7.17.1. General. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used (a) to refinance the Indebtedness under the Existing Credit Agreement, (b) to repay in full the Existing Interpool Subordinated Debt and to purchase all of Interpool’s Capital Stock in the Borrower , (c) for working capital and general corporate purposes and (d) to fund Capital Expenditures permitted hereunder. The Borrower will obtain Letters of Credit solely for working capital and general corporate purposes.

7.17.2. Regulations U and X. No portion of any Revolving Credit Loan is to be used, and no portion of any Letter of Credit is to be obtained, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any “margin security” or “margin stock” as such terms are used in Regulations U and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 12 C.F.R. Parts 221 and 224.

-69-

7.18. Environmental Compliance. The Borrower has taken all reasonable and necessary steps to investigate the past and present condition and usage of the Real Estate and the operations conducted thereon and, based upon such diligent investigation, has determined that:

No remedy herein conferred upon any Lender or the Administrative Agent or the holder of any Note or purchaser of any Letter of Credit Participation is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or any other provision of law.

In the event that, following the occurrence or during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, receives any monies in connection with the enforcement of any the Security Documents, or otherwise with respect to the realization upon any of the Collateral, such monies shall be distributed for application as follows:

(a) First, to the payment of, or (as the case may be) the reimbursement of the Administrative Agent for or in respect of all reasonable costs, expenses, disbursements and losses which shall have been incurred or sustained by the Administrative Agent in connection with the collection of such monies by the Administrative Agent, for the exercise, protection or enforcement by the Administrative Agent of all or any of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Administrative Agent under this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in respect of the Collateral or in support of any provision of adequate indemnity to the Administrative Agent against any taxes or liens which by law shall have, or may have, priority over the rights of the Administrative Agent to such monies;

(b) Second, to all other Obligations (other than obligations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent with respect to any Interest Rate Protection Agreements, Swap Contracts or Cash Management Agreements) in such order or preference as the Required Lenders

-102-

may determine; provided, however, that (i) distributions shall be made (A) pari passu among Obligations with respect to the fees owing to the Administrative Agent and all other Obligations and (B) with respect to each type of Obligation owing to the Lenders, such as interest, principal, fees and expenses, among the Lenders pro rata, and (ii) the Administrative Agent may in its discretion make proper allowance to take into account any Obligations not then due and payable;

(c) Third, to obligations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to any of the Lenders and/or the Administrative Agent with respect to any Interest Rate Protection Agreements, any Swap Contracts and any Cash Management Agreements entered into with any Lender or the Administrative Agent (or any Affiliate thereof);

(e) Fifth, the excess, if any, shall be returned to the Borrower or to such other Persons as are entitled thereto.

14. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

14.1. Authorization.

(a) Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent is authorized to take such action on behalf of each of the Lenders and to exercise all such powers as are hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents and any related documents delegated to the Administrative Agent, together with such powers as are reasonably incident thereto, including the authority, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent of the Lenders, from time to time to take any action with respect to any Collateral or the Security Documents which may be necessary to perfect, maintain perfected or insure the priority of the security interest in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents, provided that no duties or responsibilities not expressly assumed herein or therein shall be implied to have been assumed by the Administrative Agent. The provisions of this §14 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer, and neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

(b) The relationship between the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders is that of an independent contractor. The use of the term “Administrative Agent” is for convenience only and is used to describe, as a form of convention, the independent contractual relationship between the Administrative Agent and

-103-

each of the Lenders. Nothing contained in this Credit Agreement nor the other Loan Documents shall be construed to create an agency, trust or other fiduciary relationship between the Administrative Agent and any of the Lenders.

(c) As an independent contractor empowered by the Lenders to exercise certain rights and perform certain duties and responsibilities hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is nevertheless a “representative” of the Lenders, as that term is defined in Article 1 of the Uniform Commercial Code, for purposes of actions for the benefit of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent with respect to all collateral security and guaranties contemplated by the Loan Documents. Such actions include the designation of the Administrative Agent as “secured party”, “mortgagee” or the like on all financing statements and other documents and instruments, whether recorded or otherwise, relating to the attachment, perfection, priority or enforcement of any security interests, mortgages or deeds of trust in collateral security intended to secure the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, all for the benefit of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent.

(d) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this §14 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to the L/C Issuer as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in this §14 included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions (and including any affiliates of the L/C Issuer and the officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys-in-fact of the L/C Issuer and any affiliates), and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.

14.2. Employees and Administrative Agents. The Administrative Agent may exercise its powers and execute its duties by or through employees or sub-agents and shall be entitled to take, and to rely on, advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 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 Administrative Agent may utilize the services of such Persons as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may reasonably determine, and all reasonable fees and expenses of any such Persons shall be paid by the Borrower. The exculpatory provisions of this §14 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.

14.3. No Liability. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents.

-104-

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its shareholders, directors, officers or employees nor any other Person assisting them in their duties nor any agent or employee thereof, shall be liable for any waiver, consent or approval given or any action taken, or omitted to be taken, in good faith by it or them hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, or be responsible for the consequences of any oversight or error of judgment whatsoever, except that the Administrative Agent or such other Person, as the case may be, may be liable for losses due to its willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action; 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. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders. Except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any of the Borrowers or any of their respective 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 be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender, the Swing Line Lender or the L/C Issuer. 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 any Loan, Swing Line Loan or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Swing Line Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender, the Swing Line Lender or the L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender, the Swing Line Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Revolving Credit Loan, Swing Line Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. 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.

-105-

14.4. No Representations.

14.4.1. General. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the execution or validity or enforceability of this Credit Agreement, the Notes, the Letters of Credit, any of the other Loan Documents or any instrument at any time constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security for the Notes, or for the value of any such collateral security or for the validity, enforceability or collectability of any such amounts owing with respect to the Notes, or for any recitals or statements, warranties or representations made herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate or instrument hereafter furnished to it by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein or in any instrument at any time constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security for the Notes or to inspect any of the properties, books or records of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. The Administrative Agent shall not be bound to ascertain whether any notice, consent, waiver or request delivered to it by the Borrower or any holder of any of the Notes shall have been duly authorized or is true, accurate and complete. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or in any other Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default. The Administrative Agent has not made nor does it now make any representations or warranties, express or implied, nor does it assume any liability to the Lenders, with respect to the credit worthiness or financial conditions of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

14.4.2. 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, and based upon such information and documents as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Credit Agreement. Each Lender, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer 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. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the satisfaction of any condition set forth in §§11 and 12 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

-106-

14.5. Payments.

14.5.1. Payments to Administrative Agent. A payment by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent hereunder or any of the other Loan Documents for the account of any Lender shall constitute a payment to such Lender. The Administrative Agent agrees promptly to distribute to each Lender such Lender’s pro rata share of payments received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents.

14.5.2. Distribution by Administrative Agent. If in the opinion of the Administrative Agent the distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder, under the Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve it in liability, it may refrain from making distribution until its right to make distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Administrative Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the Administrative Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court.

14.5.3. Delinquent Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, any Lender that fails (a) to make available to the Administrative Agent its pro rata share of any Loan or to purchase any Letter of Credit Participation or to purchase participations in Swing Line Loans required to be funded by it hereunder or (b) to comply with the provisions of §16.1 with respect to making dispositions and arrangements with the other Lenders, where such Lender’s share of any payment received, whether by setoff or otherwise, is in excess of its pro rata share of such payments due and payable to all of the Lenders, in each case as, when and to the full extent required by the provisions of this Credit Agreement shall be deemed delinquent (a “Delinquent Lender”) and shall be deemed a Delinquent Lender until such time as such delinquency is satisfied. A Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it from the Borrower, whether on account of outstanding Loans, participations in Swing Line Loans, Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining nondelinquent Lenders for application to, and reduction of, their respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans and Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations. The Delinquent Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to distribute such payments to the nondelinquent Lenders in proportion to their respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans, Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations and participations in Swing Line Loans. A Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have satisfied in full a delinquency when and if, as a result of application of the assigned payments to all outstanding Loans, Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations and participations in Swing Line Loans of the nondelinquent Lenders, the

Lenders’ respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans, Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations and participations in Swing Line Loans have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such delinquency.

14.5.4. Replacement of Lender. If any Lender (a) requests compensation under §§5.6 or 5.7, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to §5.6, or (b) is a Delinquent 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, §15), 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:

(a) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in §15.1.2;

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under §5.9) 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);

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under §§5.6 or 5.7 or payments required to be made pursuant to §5.6, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

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

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

14.6. Holders of Notes. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Notes, any particpant in a Swing Line Loan or the purchaser of any Letter of Credit Participation as the absolute owner or purchaser thereof for all purposes hereof until it shall have been furnished in writing with a different name by such payee or by a subsequent holder, assignee or transferee.

14.7. Indemnity. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required hereunder (including under §§16.2 and 16.3

-108-

hereof) to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Commitment Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), or the Swing Line Lender in its capacity as such, or the L/C Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the Swing Line Lender or L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this §14.7 are subject to the provisions of §2.8.3.

14.8. Administrative Agent as Lender, etc. In its individual capacity, Bank of America shall have the same obligations and the same rights, powers and privileges in respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it, and as the holder of any of the Notes, as the purchaser of participations in Swing Line Loans and as the purchaser of any Letter of Credit Participations, as it would have were it not also the Administrative Agent. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with 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. Neither the Syndication Agent nor the Co-Agent shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under the Credit Agreement in such capacity, other than those applicable to all Lenders as Lenders. The Arranger shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under the Credit Agreement in such capacity.

14.9. Resignation. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender, the L/C Issuer and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, subject to the reasonable acceptance of the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. 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, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above (including the reasonable acceptance of the Borrower); 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

-109-

the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender or the L/C Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, 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, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. 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 (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). 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 §14 and §§16.2 and 16.3 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while 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 L/C Issuer and Swing Line 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 L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, (b) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

14.10. Notification of Defaults and Events of Default. Each Lender hereby agrees that, upon learning of the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof. The Administrative Agent hereby agrees that upon receipt of any notice under this §14.10 it shall promptly notify the other Lenders of the existence of such Default or Event of Default.

14.11. Duties in the Case of Enforcement. In case one of more Events of Default have occurred and shall be continuing, and whether or not acceleration of the Obligations shall have occurred, the Administrative Agent shall, if (a) so requested by the Required Lenders and (b) the Lenders have provided to the Administrative Agent such additional indemnities and assurances against expenses and liabilities as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, proceed to enforce the provisions of the Security Documents authorizing the sale or other disposition of all or any part of the

-110-

Collateral and exercise all or any such other legal and equitable and other rights or remedies as it may have in respect of such Collateral. The Required Lenders may direct the Administrative Agent in writing as to the method and the extent of any such sale or other disposition, the Lenders hereby agreeing to indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent harmless from all liabilities incurred in respect of all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such directions, provided that the Administrative Agent need not comply with any such direction to the extent that the Administrative Agent reasonably believes the Administrative Agent’s compliance with such direction to be unlawful or commercially unreasonable in any applicable jurisdiction.

14.12. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any the Borrower or any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan, Swing Line Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of 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, Swing Line Loans or Reimbursement Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer 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 and the L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, 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 amounts due the Administrative Agent hereunder (including under §§5.1, 16.2 and 16.3).

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, the Swing Line Lender or the L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations 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.

-111-

14.13. Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Total Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) subject to §16.12, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders;

(b) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by §9.2.1; and

(c) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this §14.13.

15. ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATION.

15.1. Conditions to Assignment.

15.1.1. Successors and Assignment Generally. The provisions of this Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of §15.1.2, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of §15.1.4, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of §15.1.5 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in §15.1.4 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the

-112-

Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

15.1.2. Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this §15.1.2, participations in Letters of Credit and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that

(a) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loan, as the case may be, at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Revolving Credit Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Revolving Credit Loans or of the portion of the Term Loan, as the case may be, 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;

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

(c) any assignment of a Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); and

(d) 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 $3,500.00 (provided, however, that the

-113-

Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment), and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to §15.1.3, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Credit Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Credit 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 §§5.6, 5.7, 5.9, 16.2 and 16.3 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 §15.1.4. The Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Borrower with prompt notice of any assignment hereunder.

15.1.3. Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an 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 Revolving Credit Loans, the Swing Line Loan and participations in Letters of Credit owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by each of the Borrower, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, any Lender may request and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of the Register.

15.1.4. 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 or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or any competitor of the Borrower (provided, however,

-114-

that no financial institution or Approved Fund shall be deemed to be a competitor of the Borrower)) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Revolving Loans (including such Lender’s participations in Letters of Credit and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer 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 §16.12(a) that affects such Participant. Subject to §15.1.5, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of §§5.6, 5.7 and 5.9, to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to §15.1.2. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of §16.1 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to §16.1 as though it were a Lender.

15.1.5. Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Credit 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.

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

15.1.7. Resignation as L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any

-115-

time Bank of America assigns all of its Commitment and Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to §15.1.2 above, Bank of America may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If Bank of America resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all Letters of Credit and Reimbursement Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations pursuant to §4). If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to §2.10. Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.

16. PROVISIONS OF GENERAL APPLICATIONS.

16.1. Setoff. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders a continuing lien, security interest and right of setoff as security for all liabilities and obligations to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, whether now existing or hereafter arising, upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of the Administrative Agent or such Lender or any Lender Affiliate and their successors and assigns or in transit to any of them. Regardless of the adequacy of any collateral, if any Event of Default shall have occurred, any deposits or other sums credited by or due from any of the Lenders or Lender Affiliates to the Borrower and any securities or other property of the Borrower in the possession of such Lender may be applied to or set off by such Lender against the payment of Obligations and any and all other liabilities, direct, or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, of the Borrower to such Lender. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE ANY LENDER TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF THE BORROWER ARE HEREBY

-116-

KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED. Each of the Lenders agrees with each other Lender that (a) if an amount to be set off is to be applied to Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender, other than Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes held by such Lender or constituting Reimbursement Obligations owed to such Lender or participations in Swing Line Loans held by such Lender, such amount shall be applied ratably to such other Indebtedness and to the Indebtedness evidenced by all such Notes held by such Lender or constituting Reimbursement Obligations owed to such Lender or participations in Swing Line Loans held by such Lender, and (b) if such Lender shall receive from the Borrower, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of the right of setoff, counterclaim, cross action, enforcement of the claim evidenced by the Notes held by, or constituting Reimbursement Obligations owed to or participations in Swing Line Loans held by, such Lender by proceedings against the Borrower at law or in equity or by proof thereof in bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, receivership or similar proceedings, or otherwise, and shall retain and apply to the payment of the Note or Notes held by, or Reimbursement Obligations owed to, or participations in Swing Line Loans held by, such Lender any amount in excess of its ratable portion of the payments received by all of the Lenders with respect to the Notes held by, and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, or participations in Swing Line Loans held by, all of the Lenders, such Lender will make such disposition and arrangements with the other Lenders with respect to such excess, either by way of distribution, pro tanto assignment of claims, subrogation or otherwise as shall result in each Lender receiving in respect of the Notes held by it or Reimbursement Obligations owed it, or participations in Swing Line Loans held by it, its proportionate payment as contemplated by this Credit Agreement; provided that if all or any part of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such disposition and arrangements shall be rescinded and the amount restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

16.2. Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the L/C Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Swing Line Lender or the L/C Issuer (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Swing Line Lender or the L/C Issuer), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this §16.2, or (B) in connection with the Loans or Swing Line Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Swing Line Loans or Letters of Credit. All amounts due under this §16.2 shall be payable not later than ten

-117-

Business Days after demand therefor. The agreements in this §16.2 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Total Commitment and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

16.3. Indemnification. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all fees and time charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) any Loan, Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Substances on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any environmental liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such Subsidiary has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan, Swing Line Loan or Letter of

-118-

Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in paragraph above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

All amounts due under this §16.3 shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor. The agreements in this §16.3 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Total Commitment and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

All statements contained in any certificate or other paper delivered to any Lender or the Administrative Agent at any time by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall constitute representations and warranties by the Borrower or such Subsidiary hereunder.

The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

-124-

(ii) increase the amount of such Lender’s Commitment or extend the expiration date of such Lender’s Commitment or reinstate any Commitment that has been terminated;

(iii) postpone or extend the Maturity Date or any other regularly scheduled dates for payments of principal of, or interest on, the Revolving Credit Loans, the Term Loan, the Swing Line Loans or Reimbursement Obligations or any fees or other amounts payable to such Lender (it being understood that (A) a waiver of the application of the default rate of interest pursuant to §5.10.2, and (B) any vote to rescind any acceleration made pursuant to §13.1 of amounts owing with respect to the Loans and other Obligations shall require only the approval of the Required Lenders); and

(iv) other than pursuant to a transaction permitted by the terms of this Credit Agreement, release in one transaction or a series of related transactions Collateral with a fair market value of greater than $50,000,000 for each such transaction or such series of related transactions (excluding if the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower becomes a debtor under the federal Bankruptcy Code, the release of “cash collateral”, as defined in Section 363(a) of the federal Bankruptcy Code pursuant to a cash collateral stipulation with the debtor approved by the Required Lenders) or release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their guaranty obligations under the Guaranty;

(b) without the written consent of all of the Lenders, waive a Default or Event of Default under §13.1(a) or §13.1(b), amend or waive this §16.12 or the definition of Required Lenders or change §§13.4 or 16.1 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby;

(c)(i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the L/C Issuer in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the L/C Issuer under this Credit Agreement or any Issuer Document relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it; (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Swing Line Lender in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Swing Line Lender under this Credit Agreement; (iii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (iv) the Fee Letter may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto;

(d) without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, waive any condition set forth in §11.

-125-

No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. No notice to or demand upon the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Delinquent Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender.

16.13. Severability. The provisions of this Credit Agreement are severable and if any one clause or provision hereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction, and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or any other clause or provision of this Credit Agreement in any jurisdiction.

L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and/or its Subsidiaries, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in accordance with the Act.

17. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.

In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) the credit facilities provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Borrower and its respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Arranger, on the other hand, and the Borrower is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); (ii) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, the Administrative Agent and the Arranger each is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for the Borrower or any of its respective Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other Person; (iii) neither the Administrative Agent nor the Arranger has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process

The Borrower hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent and the Arranger with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.

18. TRANSITIONAL ARRANGEMENTS.

On the Closing Date, the rights and obligations of the parties evidenced by the Existing Credit Agreement shall be evidenced by this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Existing Letters of Credit issued by any L/C Issuer for the account of the Borrower prior to the Closing Date shall be converted into Letters of Credit under this Credit Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and to the extent necessary, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent reserve all of their rights under the Existing Credit Agreement and the Borrower hereby obligates itself again in respect of all present and future Obligations under, inter alia, the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended and restated by this Credit Agreement.

All interest and fees and expenses, if any, owing or accruing under or in respect of the Existing Credit Agreement through the Closing Date shall be calculated as of the Closing Date (pro rated in the case of any fractional periods, as applicable), and shall be paid on the Closing Date.
