COMMITMENTS, ETC.

SECTION 2.1 Commitments. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement (including Article VI), each Lender severally agrees that it will make a single loan to the Borrower on any Business Day occurring prior to the Commitment Termination Date in an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Borrowing to be made on such Business Day, all in accordance with Section 3.1; provided that no Lender shall be required to make any Loan in excess of its Credit Commitment Amount. If the aggregate amount of the Borrowing on such date shall be less than the Total Commitment Amount, the unused portion of the Total Commitment Amount shall thereupon be cancelled without further action by any Person. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.1 and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

SECTION 2.2 Reductions of the Total Commitment Amount. The Borrower may, from time to time on any Business Day prior to the date of the initial Borrowing hereunder, voluntarily reduce the Total Commitment Amount; provided that:

(a) ll such reductions shall require at least three and not more than five Business Days’ irrevocable prior notice to the Administrative Agent and shall be permanent, and any partial reduction thereof shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (or, if less, in an amount equal to the Total Commitment Amount at such time); and

(b) Once so reduced, the Total Commitment Amount may not be increased.

SECTION 2.3 Designated Additional Loans. From time to time, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may notify the Administrative Agent that the Borrower wishes, on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, to obtain additional loans, in addition to the Loans made pursuant to Section 2.1, from the Lenders and/or other Persons (each of which must be an Eligible Assignee) not then a party to this Agreement (“Designated Additional Loans”), provided that the cumulative amount of the Designated Additional Loans may not exceed $100,000,000. Such notice shall specify (A) the date (each, an “Additional Funding Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Designated Additional Loans shall be made, which must be a Business Day (i) on or after the date on which the initial Borrowing under this Agreement occurs pursuant to Section 2.1 and (ii) at least three Business Days after the date of such notice, and (B) the identity of each Lender or Eligible Assignee that has agreed to provide a Designated Additional Loan and become a party to this Agreement, together with the amount of its Designated Additional Loan (each, an “Additional Funding Lender”). Such notice shall in addition contain the statements and other information required in a Borrowing Request. Nothing contained in this Section 2.3 or otherwise in this Agreement is intended to commit any Lender or any Agent to provide any Additional Designated Loan, but otherwise no consent from any Lender or Agent shall be required, whether pursuant to Section 11.1 or otherwise, for any increase in the outstanding principal amount of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.3. On or before 2:30 p.m., Applicable Time, on the Additional Funding Date, and subject to compliance with the terms of Section 6.2, each Additional Funding

-24-

Lender shall deposit with the Administrative Agent (to an account specified by the Administrative Agent for such purpose) same day funds in an amount equal to such Additional Funding Lender’s Designated Additional Loan, and to the extent funds are received from an Additional Funding Lender, the Administrative Agent shall make such funds available to the Borrower by wire transfer of same day funds to the accounts that the Borrower shall have specified in its notice of such Designated Additional Loans. No Additional Funding Lender’s commitment to make a Designated Additional Loan shall be affected by any other Additional Funding Lender’s failure to make its Designated Additional Loan. On the Additional Funding Date, (i) the Percentages of the respective Lenders and Additional Funding Lenders shall be appropriately adjusted, and (ii) the Borrower and any Additional Funding Lender that is not already a Lender shall execute and deliver any additional Notes or other amendments or modifications to this Agreement or any other Loan Document as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. Any fees payable in respect of any Loans provided for in this Section 2.3 shall be as agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Any Designated Additional Loan pursuant to this Section 2.3 (i) shall reduce the amount of additional Loans that may be requested under this Section 2.3 pro tanto and (ii) shall be in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000.

ARTICLE III

ARTICLE IV

PRINCIPAL, INTEREST, AND FEE PAYMENTS

SECTION 4.1 Loan Accounts, Notes, Payments, and Prepayments. The Loans shall be evidenced by one or more loan accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent which loan accounts or records shall be conclusive evidence, absent manifest error, of the amount of Loans and the interest and principal payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the Obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. Upon the request of any Lender made at any time through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to that Lender a Note to evidence Loans made by that Lender to the Borrower.

SECTION 4.1.1 Repayments and Prepayments of Loans.

(a) he Borrower may, from time to time on any Business Day, make a voluntary prepayment, in whole or in part, of the outstanding principal amount of Loans; provided that:

(i) any such prepayment of any Loan shall be allocated to each Lender pro rata according to such Lender’s Percentage of the Loans so prepaid;

(ii) any such prepayment of any Loan made on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Loan shall be subject to Section 5.4;

(iii) all such voluntary prepayments shall require irrevocable prior notice to the Administrative Agent of at least three but no more than five Business Days;

(iv) all such voluntary prepayments shall, if other than a prepayment in whole, be in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000; and

(v) each such prepayment shall be applied to satisfy the remaining scheduled principal repayments in chronological order.

(b) On each Quarterly Payment Date commencing on November 23, 2009 and continuing through and including May 23, 2012, the Borrower shall make a mandatory repayment of the Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Required Quarterly Payment Amount; and

SECTION 4.1.2 Change in Control. Promptly, and in any event within two Business Days, following a Change in Control or, in the case of a “Change in Control” of the type

-26-

described in clause (a) of such definition, within two Business Days following the date on which the Borrower or any other Obligor is provided with the relevant Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G filing, the Borrower shall provide notice (a “Change in Control Notice”) thereof to the Administrative Agent (which the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to the Lenders) which notice shall (i) describe such event in reasonable detail and (ii) offer to prepay all outstanding Loans of each Lender, which prepayment shall occur (referred to as the “Settlement Date”) on or before the 30th Business Day following such Change in Control Notice. In such Change in Control Notice, the Borrower may request that the Lenders waive such right to prepayment and continue as a Lender hereunder. Any Lenders which, in their sole and absolute discretion, determine to continue in such capacities hereunder (by notice to the Borrower no later than the 10th Business Day before such Settlement Date) shall continue to provide loans in an amount equal to their respective Commitment, as in effect immediately prior to such Change in Control. Lenders that do not consent to continue as Lenders hereunder shall have all their respective commitments cancelled, regardless of the percentage of consenting Lenders or all such Lenders outstanding Loans shall be repaid, no later than the Settlement Date. On or promptly following the Settlement Date, the Administrative Agent shall distribute to the Borrower and the Lenders a schedule of the Percentages after giving effect to the foregoing. The resulting Commitment of any Lender agreeing to waive its right of prepayment following a Change in Control shall be binding on such Lender, notwithstanding that the previously existing Total Commitment Amount may have been reduced as a result of the foregoing terms.

SECTION 4.2 Interest Provisions. Each Loan shall bear interest from and including the day when made until (but not including) the day such Loan shall be paid in full, and such interest shall accrue and be payable in accordance with this Section 4.2.

SECTION 4.2.1 Rates. Subject to Sections 4.2.2 and 5.1, each Loan shall bear an annual rate of interest, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, equal to the sum of (i) the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period plus (ii) the Applicable Margin.

SECTION 4.2.2 Post-Maturity Rates. After the date any principal amount of any Loan is due and payable (whether at the Maturity Date, upon acceleration or otherwise), or after any other monetary Obligation of the Borrower shall have become due and payable, the Borrower shall pay, but only to the extent permitted by law, interest (after as well as before judgment) on such amounts at an annual rate equal to the Reference Rate plus 2%.

SECTION 4.2.3 Continuation. On the last day of each Interest Period applicable to a LIBO Rate Loan, such LIBO Rate Loan shall automatically, without the requirement of any notice from the Borrower, be continued with an Interest Period beginning on such last day and ending as determined pursuant to the definition of Interest Period.

SECTION 4.2.4 Payment Dates. Interest accrued on each Loan shall be payable, without duplication:

(a) on the Maturity Date;

(b) on the date of any payment or prepayment, in whole or in part, of principal outstanding on such Loan (but only on the principal amount so paid or prepaid);

-27-

(d) on that portion of any Loans which is accelerated pursuant to Section 9.2 or 9.3, immediately upon such acceleration.

Interest accrued on Loans or other monetary Obligations arising under this Agreement or any other Loan Document after the date such Loans or other Obligations are due and payable (whether on the Maturity Date, upon acceleration or otherwise) shall be payable upon demand.

SECTION 4.2.5 Interest Rate Determination. The Administrative Agent and, if and when applicable, the Reference Lenders shall, in accordance with each of their customary practices, attempt to determine the relevant interest rates applicable to each Loan requested to be made pursuant to each Borrowing Request (or notice of Designated Additional Loans) duly completed and delivered by the Borrower, and, if and when applicable, each Reference Lender agrees to furnish the Administrative Agent timely information for the purpose of determining the LIBO Rate. If any Reference Lender fails, if and when applicable, to timely furnish such information to the Administrative Agent for any such interest rate, the Administrative Agent shall determine such interest rate on the basis of the information shared by the other Reference Lender.

SECTION 4.2.6 Additional Interest on Loans. For so long as the cost to a Lender of making or maintaining its LIBO Rate Loans is increased as a result of any imposition or modification after the date of this Agreement of any reserve required to be maintained by such Lender against Eurocurrency Liabilities (or any other category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on Loans is determined or any category of extensions of credit or other assets which includes loans by a non-United States office of such Lender to United States residents), then such Lender may require the Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on any of its LIBO Rate Loans, additional interest on such Loan of such Lender at a rate per annum up to but not exceeding the excess of (i) (A) the applicable LIBO Rate divided by (B) one minus the LIBOR Reserve Percentage over (ii) the applicable LIBO Rate. Any Lender wishing to require payment of such additional interest shall so notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which notice shall set forth the amount (as determined by such Lender) to which such Lender is then entitled under this Section 4.2.6 (which amount shall be consistent with such Lender’s good faith estimate of the level at which the related reserves are maintained by it and which determination shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent demonstrable error) and shall be accompanied by such information as to the computation set forth therein as the Borrower may reasonably request), in which case such additional interest on the LIBO Rate Loans of such Lender shall be payable on the last day of each Interest Period thereafter (commencing with the Interest Period beginning at least three Business Days after the giving of such notice) to such Lender at the place indicated in such notice. Each Lender that receives any payment in respect of increased costs pursuant to this Section 4.2.6 shall promptly notify the Borrower of any change with respect to such costs which affects the amount of additional interest payable pursuant to this section in respect thereof.

-28-

SECTION 4.3 Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay the fees applicable to it set forth in this Section 4.3. All such fees shall be nonrefundable and shall be paid in Dollars to the Administrative Agent at its office specified for such purpose on the signature pages hereof.

SECTION 4.3.1 Administration Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay directly to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, an annual administration fee in the amounts and on the dates set forth in the Fee Letter.

SECTION 4.3.2 Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (including, any portion thereof when the Lenders may not extend any Credit Extensions by reason of the inability of the Borrower to satisfy any condition of Section 6.1 or 6.2) for each day during the period commencing on the Effective Date and continuing through and including the date the initial Borrowing is made hereunder, a commitment fee to each Lender on the unused portion of its Credit Commitment Amount on such day at a rate of 0.25% per annum.

SECTION 4.4 Rate and Fee Determinations. Interest on each Loan shall be computed on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days and fees shall be computed on the basis of a year consisting of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, in each case paid for the actual number of days elapsed, calculated as to each period from and including the first day thereof to but excluding the last day thereof. All determinations by the Administrative Agent of the rate of interest payable with respect to any Loan shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of demonstrable error. The Borrower acknowledges that the Lenders have agreed to the amount of the Applicable Margin payable under the Loan Documents based upon, among other things, the delivery by the Obligors pursuant to Section 8.1.1 of accurate and actual reporting of results of operation, and that the financial covenant ratios set forth in a Compliance Certificate shall only be treated by the Lenders as presumptive evidence of such actual results. If the actual Leverage Ratio for any period is higher than that set forth in a Compliance Certificate for such period, then the amount of interest owing for such period shall be established by reference to the actual Leverage Ratio , and not the ratio set forth in the Compliance Certificate. Promptly, and in any event within thirty days, following the earlier of (i) the Borrower’s receipt of a notice from the Administrative Agent pursuant to this clause or (ii) the Borrower’s knowledge that the Leverage Ratio for a particular period was higher than that reported in the Compliance Certificate for such period, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent all unpaid interest for such period based upon the actual Leverage Ratio. In no event shall the Lenders be required to rebate interest paid by the Borrower, and the payment of incremental interest and fees pursuant to this clause shall not impair (and is without limitation of) the other rights and remedies of the Lenders under the Loan Documents.

ARTICLE V

CERTAIN PAYMENT PROVISIONS

SECTION 5.1 Illegality; Currency Restrictions. If, as the result of any Regulatory Change, any Lender shall determine (which determination shall, in the absence of demonstrable error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower), that it is unlawful for such Lender to make any Loan or continue any Loan previously made by it hereunder in respect of the LIBO Rate, as the case may be, the obligations of such Lender to make any such Loan or continue any such Loan in respect of the LIBO Rate, as

-29-

the case may be, shall, upon the giving of notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, forthwith be suspended and the Borrower shall, if requested by such Lender and if required by such Regulatory Change, on such date as shall be specified in such notice, prepay to such Lender in full all of such Loans or convert all of such Loans into a Cost of Funds Rate Loan that is not unlawful, in each case on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless otherwise required by applicable law) and without any penalty whatsoever (but subject to Section 5.4); provided that such Lender shall make as Cost of Funds Loans all Loans that such Lender would otherwise be obligated to make Loans at the LIBO Rate and convert into or continue as Cost of Funds Loans all Loans that such Lender would otherwise be required to convert into or continue as Loans at the LIBO Rate, in each case during the period any such suspension is effective. Such suspension shall continue to be effective until such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, at which time the obligations of such Lender to make any such Loan or continue any Loan, as the case may be, shall be reinstated.

SECTION 5.2 Deposits Unavailable.

(a) If, before the date on which all or any portion of any Loan bearing interest in respect of the LIBO Rate is to be made, maintained, or continued the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding), with respect to that Loan that:

(i) deposits in Dollars in the relevant amount and for the relevant Interest Period are not available, if and when applicable, to either of the Reference Lenders in the relevant market, or

(ii) by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable under this Agreement in respect of the relevant LIBO Rate,

then, upon notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower and the Lenders, the obligations of the Lenders to make or continue any Loan bearing interest in respect of the LIBO Rate under Sections 3.1 and 4.2.3 shall forthwith be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

(b) If a notification under this Section 5.2 applies to a Loan which is outstanding then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:

(i) within five Business Days of receipt of the notification, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall enter into negotiations for a period of not more than 30 days with a view to agreeing an alternative basis for determining the rate of interest and/or funding applicable to that Loan at the end of its applicable Interest Period;

-30-

(ii) any alternative basis agreed under clause (i) above shall be, with the prior consent of all the Lenders, binding on all of the Obligors and Lender Parties;

(iii) if no alternative basis is agreed, each Lender shall (through the Administrative Agent) certify on or before the last day of the Interest Period to which the notification relates an alternative basis for maintaining its participation in that Loan;

(iv) any such alternative basis may include an alternative method of fixing the interest rate or alternative Interest Periods but it must reflect the cost to the Lender of funding its participation in the Loan from whatever sources it may select plus the Applicable Margin; and

(v) each alternative basis so certified shall be binding on the Obligors and the certifying Lender and treated as part of this Agreement.

SECTION 5.3 Increased Loan Costs, etc. The Borrower agrees to reimburse each Lender within 30 days after any demand for any increase in the cost to such Lender of, or any reduction in the amount of any sum receivable by such Lender in respect of, making, maintaining, participating, issuing or extending (or of its obligation to make, maintain, participate, issue or extend) any Loan to the extent such increased cost or reduced amount is due to a Regulatory Change. Such Lender shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower a certificate stating, in reasonable detail, the reasons for such increased cost or reduced amount and the additional amount required fully to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount. Such additional amounts shall be payable by the Borrower directly to such Lender upon its receipt of such notice, and such notice shall be rebuttable, presumptive evidence of the additional amounts so owing. In determining such amount, such Lender shall act reasonably and in good faith and may use any method of averaging and attribution that it customarily uses for its other borrowers with a similar credit rating as the Borrower. Such Lender may demand reimbursement for such increased cost or reduced amount only for the 360-day period immediately preceding the date of such written notice, and the Borrower shall have liability only for such period.

SECTION 5.4 Funding Losses. If any Lender shall incur any loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to make, continue, or extend any portion of the principal amount of any LIBO Rate Loan) as a result of:

(a) any repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of any LIBO Rate Loan on a date other than the scheduled last day of the Interest Period whether pursuant to Section 4.1.1 or otherwise; or

(b) any LIBO Rate Loan not being made in accordance with the Borrowing Request therefor as a consequence of any action taken, or failed to be taken, by any Obligor,

-31-

then, upon the written notice of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall, within five days of its receipt thereof, pay directly to such Lender such amount as will (in the reasonable determination of such Lender) reimburse such Lender for such loss or expense. Such written notice (which shall include calculations in reasonable detail) shall be rebuttable presumptive evidence of the amount of any such loss or expense that has been so incurred.

SECTION 5.5 Increased Capital Costs. If any Regulatory Change affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any Person controlling such Lender, and such Lender determines (in its sole and absolute discretion) that the rate of return on its or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of its participation in this Agreement or the making, continuing, participating in or extending of any Loan is reduced to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling Person could have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then, in any such case, upon the Borrower’s receipt of written notice thereof from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay directly to such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return. A statement of such Lender as to any such additional amounts (including calculations thereof in reasonable detail) shall be rebuttable, presumptive evidence of the additional amounts so owing. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any method of averaging and attribution that it shall deem applicable. Such Lender may demand payment for such additional amounts that have accrued only during the 360-day period immediately preceding the date of such written notice and the Borrower shall have liability only for such period.

SECTION 5.6 Discretion of Lenders as to Manner of Funding. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Lenders shall be entitled to fund and maintain their funding of all or any part of their Loans in any manner they elect, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder with respect to a Loan shall be made as if each Lender had actually funded and maintained each Loan through its Lending Office and through the purchase of deposits having a maturity corresponding to the maturity of such Loan. Any Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill any commitment or obligation to make or maintain Loans by causing a branch or affiliate to make or maintain such Loans; provided that, in such event, such Loans shall be deemed for the purposes of this Agreement to have been made by such Lender through its applicable Lending Office, and the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loans shall nevertheless be to such Lender at its Lending Office and shall be deemed held by such Lender through its applicable Lending Office, to the extent of such Loan, for the account of such branch or affiliate. Notwithstanding the foregoing or the fact that different Affiliates for a Lender under this Agreement may have executed this Agreement or the Lender Assignment Agreement by which it has become a Lender under this Agreement, all of those Lending Offices and signatories shall be treated under the Loan Documents as but one Lender for purposes of calculations of Percentage, Commitment, Required Lenders, and modifications, amendments, waivers, consents, and approvals under Section 11.1 and other provisions of the Loan Documents.

-32-

SECTION 5.7 Taxes.

(a) All payments by any Obligor of principal of, and interest and fees on, any Loan and all other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes, and other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings, or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority with respect to such payments, but excluding franchise taxes and taxes imposed on or measured by any Lender Party’s gross or net income, profits, or receipts, in each case imposed (i) by any taxing authority under the laws of which such Lender Party is organized or in which it maintains its applicable Lending Office or (ii) by reason of a present or former connection between the jurisdiction imposing such tax and such Lender Party or one of its applicable lending offices other than a connection arising solely from such Lender Party having executed, delivered or performed its obligations under, or received payment under or enforced, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (such non-excluded items being called “Taxes”) except to the extent required by law. In the event that any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by any Obligor hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule, or regulation, then such Obligor will:

(i) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;

(ii) promptly forward to the relevant Lender Party an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to such Lender Party evidencing such payment to such authority; and

(iii) pay directly to the relevant Lender Party for its own account such additional amount or amounts as is or are necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by such Lender Party will equal the full amount such Lender Party would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

(b) Moreover, if any Taxes are directly asserted against any Lender Party with respect to any payment received by such Lender Party hereunder, such Lender Party may pay such Taxes and the relevant Obligor will promptly pay such additional amounts (including any penalties, interest or expenses) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such Lender Party after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such Lender Party would have received had not such Taxes been asserted.

(c) If the relevant Obligor fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the relevant Lender Parties entitled thereto the required receipt or other required documentary evidence, such Obligor shall indemnify such Lender Parties for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by any Lender Party as a result of any such failure.

(d) The following provisions govern exceptions to the tax indemnification provisions of this Section 5.7 and related matters.

-33-

(i) In respect of its Loans to the Borrower, (A) each Lender Party organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States -- on or before the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement (if an original signatory to this Agreement) or the date on which it otherwise becomes a Lender Party, on or before the date of any change in its Lending Office, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the Borrower (but only so long as and to the extent that Lender Party remains lawfully able to do so) -- shall provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with either (I) two duly completed copies of either (1) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility of such Lender Party for the benefit of an exemption from United States withholding tax under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party or (2) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, or in either case an applicable successor form, or (II) in the case of a Lender Party who is not legally entitled to deliver either form listed in clause (i)(A), (1) a certificate to the effect that such Lender Party is not (x) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (y) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Obligor within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (z) a controlled foreign corporation receiving interest from a related person within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code (such certificate an “Exemption Certificate”) and (2) two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or applicable successor form and (B) each Lender Party who is a Non-Exempt U.S. Person, on or before the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement (if an original signatory to this Agreement) or the date on which it becomes a Lender Party, on or before the date of any change in its Lending Office, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the Borrower (but only so long as that Lender Party remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9.

(ii) A Lender Party is not entitled to indemnification under this Section 5.7 with respect to the applicable Taxes for any period during which the Lender Party has failed to provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the applicable U.S. Internal Revenue Service form if required under clause (i) above (unless that failure is due to a change in treaty, law, or regulation occurring after the date on which the applicable form originally was required to be provided or a redesignation of the Lender Party’s Lending Office at the request of the relevant Obligor) in respect of U.S. withholding taxes.

(iii) Notwithstanding clause (ii) above to the contrary, if a Lender Party that is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax becomes subject to United States withholding tax because of its failure to deliver an Internal Revenue Service form required hereunder, then the Borrower shall take such steps as that Lender Party shall reasonably request to assist that Lender Party to recover the applicable withholding tax.

(e) If any Obligor pays any additional amount under this Section 5.7 (a “Tax Payment”) and any Lender Party or Affiliate thereof effectively obtains a refund of Tax by reason of the Tax Payment (a “Tax Refund”) and such Tax Refund is, in the

-34-

reasonable judgment of such Lender Party or Affiliate, attributable to the Tax Payment, then such Lender Party, after receipt of such Tax Refund, shall promptly reimburse such Obligor for such amount as such Lender Party shall reasonably determine to be the proportion of the Tax Refund as will leave such Lender Party (after that reimbursement) in no better or worse position than it would have been in if the Tax Payment had not been required; provided that no Lender Party shall be required to make any such reimbursement if it reasonably believes the making of such reimbursement would cause it to lose the benefit of the Tax Refund or would adversely affect in any other respect its tax position. Subject to the other terms hereof, any claim by a Lender Party for a Tax Refund shall be made in a manner, order and amount as such Lender Party determines in its sole and absolute discretion. No Lender Party shall be obligated to disclose information regarding its tax affairs or computations to any Obligor, it being understood and agreed that in no event shall any Lender Party be required to disclose information regarding its tax position that it deems to be confidential (other than with respect to the Tax Refund).

SECTION 5.8 Payments. All payments by an Obligor pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, whether in respect of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made as set forth in this Section 5.8.

SECTION 5.8.1 Loans.

(a) All payments by an Obligor (whether in respect of principal, interest, fees or otherwise) pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document with respect to Loans or any other amount payable hereunder shall be made by the Borrower in Dollars. All such payments (other than fees payable pursuant to Section 4.3, which fees shall be paid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant payee, Article V, Section 11.3 or 11.4) shall be made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender based upon its Percentage. All such payments required to be made to the Administrative Agent shall be made, without set-off, deduction or counterclaim, not later than 1:00 p.m., Applicable Time, on the date when due, in same day or immediately available funds, to such account as the Administrative Agent shall specify from time to time by notice to the Borrower. Funds received after that time shall be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent on the next succeeding Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit in same day funds to each Lender its share, if any, of such payments received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall, except as otherwise required pursuant to clause (d) of the definition of Interest Period, be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be.

(b) In the case of any payment made pursuant to the preceding clause (a) by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, unless the Administrative Agent will have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any such payment is due hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon

-35-

such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due to such Lender. If the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand any such amount distributed to the Lender to the extent that such amount was not paid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at an annual rate equal to the Administrative Agent’s Cost of Funds.

SECTION 5.9 Sharing of Payments.

(a) If any Lender Party shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of setoff or otherwise) on account of any Loan (other than pursuant to the terms of Sections 5.3, 5.4, 5.5 or 5.7) in excess of its pro rata share of payments obtained by all Lender Parties, such Lender Party shall purchase from the other Lender Parties such participations in Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender Party to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably (to the extent such other Lender Parties were entitled to receive a portion of such payment or recovery) with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender Party, the purchase shall be rescinded and each Lender Party which has sold a participation to the purchasing Lender Party shall repay to the purchasing Lender Party the purchase price to the ratable extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such selling Lender Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of such selling Lender Party’s required repayment to the purchasing Lender Party to (b) total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender Party) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender Party in respect of the total amount so recovered.

(b) The Borrower agrees that any Lender Party purchasing a participation from another Lender Party pursuant to this Section 5.9 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including pursuant to Section 5.10) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender Party were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law any Lender Party receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section 5.9 applies, such Lender Party shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lender Parties entitled under this Section 5.9 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

SECTION 5.10 Right of Set-off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender Party is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all balances, credits, accounts, moneys or deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any payment received pursuant to this Agreement by the Administrative Agent in its capacity qua Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time due and owing by such Lender Party (in any currency and at any

-36-

branch or office) to or for the credit or the account of any Obligor against any and all of the Obligations of such Obligor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document that are at such time due and owing, irrespective of whether or not such Lender Party shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document (other than any notice expressly required hereby). The rights of each Lender Party under this Section 5.10 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which such Lender Party may have.

SECTION 5.11 Judgments, Currencies, etc. The obligation of each Obligor to make payment of all Obligations in Dollars shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment, which is expressed in or converted into any currency other than Dollars, except to the extent such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt by the recipient at the office required hereunder of the full amount of Dollars expressed to be payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Obligor authorizes the Administrative Agent on any tender or recovery in a currency other than Dollars to purchase in accordance with normal banking procedures Dollars with the amount of such other currency so tendered or recovered. The obligation of each Obligor to make payments in Dollars shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovery in Dollars of the amount (if any) by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of Dollars expressed to be payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sums due under this Agreement or such other Loan Document.

SECTION 5.12 Replacement of Lenders. Each Lender hereby severally agrees that if such Lender (a “Subject Lender”) makes demand upon the Borrower for (or if the Borrower is otherwise required to pay) amounts pursuant to Section 4.2.6, 5.3, 5.5, or 5.7, or if the obligation of such Lender to make Loans is suspended pursuant to Section 5.1(a), the Borrower may, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, replace such Subject Lender with an Eligible Assignee pursuant to an assignment in accordance with Section 11.11.1; provided that (i) such Eligible Assignee shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent as required by the definition of “Eligible Assignee”, and (ii) the purchase price paid by such designated financial institution shall be in the amount of such Subject Lender’s Loans, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and fees in respect thereof, plus all other amounts (including the amounts demanded and unreimbursed under Sections 4.2.6, 5.3, 5.5, and 5.7), owing to such Subject Lender hereunder. Upon the effective date of such assignment, such designated financial institution shall become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 5.13 Change of Lending Office. If the Borrower or any other Obligor is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Lender Party pursuant to Section 4.2.6, 5.3, 5.5, or 5.7, or if the obligation of any Lender to make or continue Loans is suspended pursuant to Section 5.1(a), then such Lender Party will change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if, in the judgment of such Lender Party, such change (a) will eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue or will avoid such suspension and (b) is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party.

SECTION 8.2.6 Transactions with Affiliates.

-53-

any transaction with, any Affiliate (any such payment, investment, lease, sale, transfer, other disposition or transaction, an “Affiliate Transaction”) except on an arms-length basis on terms at least as favorable to the Borrower (or such Subsidiary) as terms that could have been obtained from a third party who was not an Affiliate; provided that:

(a) the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.2.6 do not prohibit (i) agreements with or for the benefit of employees of the Borrower or any Subsidiaries regarding bridge home loans and other loans necessitated by the relocation of the Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s business or employees, or regarding short-term hardship advances, (ii) loans to officers or employees of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the exercise of rights under the Borrower’s stock option or stock purchase plan, (iii) any such Person from declaring or paying any lawful dividend or other payment ratably in respect of all of its capital stock of the relevant class so long as, in the case of the Borrower, after giving effect thereto, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iv) any Affiliate Transaction between the Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries or between any Subsidiaries of the Borrower, or (v) any Affiliate Transaction (other than any Affiliate Transaction described in clauses (i) through (iv) above) in which the amount involved does not exceed $50,000; and

(b) the Borrower shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, participate in effect any Affiliate Transactions otherwise permitted pursuant to this Section 8.2.6 which either individually or in the aggregate may involve obligations that are reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. The approval by the independent directors of the Board of Directors of the Borrower (or the relevant Subsidiary thereof) of any Affiliate Transaction to which the Borrower (or the relevant Subsidiary thereof) is a party shall create a rebuttable presumption that such Affiliate Transaction is on an arms-length basis on terms at least as favorable to the Borrower (or the relevant Subsidiary thereof) as terms that could have been obtained from a third party who was not an Affiliate.

SECTION 8.2.7 Limitations on Acquisitions.

(a) The Borrower may not make, nor shall it permit Coordination Center or Treasury to make, any Material Asset Acquisition unless no Event of Default exists or would exist after giving effect to the proposed Material Asset Acquisition.

-54-

(c) Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Section 8.2.7, the Borrower shall not (and shall not permit its Subsidiaries to) (i) directly or indirectly use the proceeds of any Loans to make any Acquisition unless, if the board of directors of the Person to be acquired has notified the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that it opposes the offer by the proposed purchaser to acquire that Person, then that opposition has been withdrawn, or (ii) make any Acquisition unless, if the proposed Acquisition is structured as a merger or consolidation, it will be consummated in compliance with Section 8.2.5.

(d) Execution and delivery of each Continuation Notice shall constitute the Borrower’s representation and warranty that the Borrower is not then in violation of Section 8.2.7(c)(i).

SECTION 8.2.8 Limitation on Businesses. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries, considered as a whole, will not engage principally in businesses other than those conducted by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on the date hereof, as described in the preamble of this Agreement.

Any early liquidation, termination or similar event shall have occurred and be continuing under any outstanding Trade Accounts Receivable securitization program of the Borrower or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries on account of the failure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to comply with any applicable provision in the agreements governing said program or to satisfy any condition required to be met by it thereunder (each a “Securitization Default”), the Securitization Financing Amount of which is in excess of the lesser of (a) (i) 5% of Consolidated Tangible Net Worth for the then most recently ended Fiscal Period, individually, or (ii) 10% of Consolidated Tangible Net

AGENTS

SECTION 10.1 Authorization and Actions. Each Lender hereby appoints Scotia Capital as the Administrative Agent and BNP Paribas and ABN Amro Bank N.V. as the Co-Syndication Agents under, and for the purposes set forth in, this Agreement and each other Loan Document. Each Lender authorizes each Agent to act on behalf of such Lender under this Agreement and each other Loan Document and in the absence of other written instructions from the Required Lenders received from time to time by the Agents (with respect to which each Agent agrees that it will comply, except as otherwise provided in this Section 10.1 or as otherwise advised by counsel), to exercise such powers hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Agents by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as may be reasonably incidental thereto. Each Lender hereby indemnifies (which indemnity shall survive any termination of this Agreement) each Agent pro rata according to such Lender’s Percentage, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which at any time may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, each Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this

-58-

Agreement or any other Loan Document, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and as to which either Agent is not reimbursed by the Borrower or the other Obligors; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses which are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final proceeding to have resulted solely from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Agent shall be required to take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or to prosecute or defend any suit in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, unless it is indemnified hereunder to its satisfaction. If any indemnity in favor of either Agent shall be or become, in such Agent’s determination, inadequate, the Administrative Agent may call additional indemnification from the Lenders and cease to do the acts indemnified against hereunder until such additional indemnity is given.

SECTION 10.2 Funding Reliance, etc. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by telephone, confirmed in writing, by any Lender by 5:00 p.m., Applicable Time, on the Business Day prior to the making of a Loan that such Lender will not make available an amount which would constitute its Percentage of such requested Loan on the date specified therefor, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent and, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such amount available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree, to pay the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date the Administrative Agent made such amount available to the Borrower to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at an annual interest rate equal to the Administrative Agent’s Cost of Funds for the first day that the Administrative Agent made such amounts available and thereafter at a rate of interest equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the requested Loan.

SECTION 10.3 Exculpation. Neither Agent nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence, nor be responsible for any recitals or warranties herein or therein, nor for the effectiveness, enforceability, validity or due execution of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor to make any inquiry respecting the performance by any Obligor of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document. Any such inquiry which may be made by either Agent shall not obligate it to make any further inquiry to take any action. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon advice of counsel concerning legal matters and upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement or writing which each such Agent believes to be genuine and to have been presented by a proper Person.

SECTION 10.4 Successor. Any Agent may resign as such at any time upon at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Borrower and all the Lenders. If any Agent shall at any time resign, the Required Lenders, after consultations with the Borrower, may appoint another Lender as a successor Administrative Agent or Co-Syndication Agent, as the case may be, whereupon such Lender shall become the Administrative Agent or a Co-Syndication Agent hereunder, as the case may be. If no successor Administrative Agent or Co-Syndication Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s or Co-Syndication Agent’s giving notice of resignation,

-59-

then the retiring Administrative Agent or Co-Syndication Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, after consultations with the Borrower, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Co-Syndication Agent, as the case may be, which shall be one of the Lenders or a commercial banking institution that is organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof (or a branch or agency of either) and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent or Co-Syndication Agent hereunder, as the case may be, by a successor Administrative Agent or Co-Syndication Agent, as the case may be, such successor Administrative Agent or Co-Syndication Agent shall be entitled to receive from the retiring Administrative Agent or Co-Syndication Agent such documents of transfer and assignment as such successor Administrative Agent or Co-Syndication Agent, as the case may be, may reasonably request, and shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent or Co-Syndication Agent, as the case may be, and the retiring Administrative Agent or Co-Syndication Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s or Co-Syndication Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent or Co-Syndication Agent, as the case may be, the provisions of:

(a) this Article X shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent or Co-Syndication Agent under this Agreement; and

(b) Sections 11.3 and 11.4 shall continue to inure to its benefit.

SECTION 10.5 Loans by an Agent. Each Agent shall have the same rights and powers with respect to the Loans made by it or any of its Affiliates in its capacity as a Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not an Agent hereunder. Each Agent and its respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with any Obligor or Subsidiary of any thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder.

SECTION 10.6 Credit Decisions. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently of the Agents and each other Lender, and based on such Lender’s review of the financial information of each Obligor, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents (the terms and provisions which being satisfactory to such Lender) and such other documents, information and investigations as such Lender has deemed appropriate, made its own credit decision to make available its Commitment. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently of the Agents and each other Lender, and based on such other documents, information and investigations as it shall deem appropriate at any time, continue to make its own credit decisions as to exercising or not exercising from time to time any rights and privileges available to it under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

SECTION 10.7 Copies, etc. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to each Lender of each notice or request required or permitted to be given to the Administrative Agent by any Obligor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (unless concurrently delivered to the Lenders by such Obligor). The Administrative Agent will distribute to each Lender each document or instrument received for its account, and copies of all other communications received by the Administrative Agent from any Obligor, for distribution

-60-

to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

SECTION 10.8 Joint Lead Arrangers and other Agents. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Joint Book Runners, the Co-Syndication Agents and the Co-Documentation Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall not have any duties or responsibilities under this Agreement, except in their capacity, if any, as Administrative Agent or Lender.
