Subject to Section 3.4 and the requirements of this Section 2.4(b), any Borrower may (a) following notice given to the Agent by such Borrower, by not later than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) one Business Day prior to the date of the proposed prepayment, such notice specifying the aggregate principal amount of and the proposed date of the prepayment (the “Prepayment Notice”), and if such notice is given such Borrower shall, prepay in an aggregate minimum amount of $3,000,000 the outstanding principal amounts of the Floating Rate Loans comprising part of the same Advance in whole or ratably in part without penalty or premium and (b) following notice given to the Agent by any Borrower by not later than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on, if the Advance to be prepaid is a Eurocurrency Advance, the third Business Day preceding the date of the proposed prepayment, such notice specifying the Eurocurrency Advance to be prepaid and the proposed date of the prepayment, and, if such notice is given, such Borrower shall, prepay in a minimum amount of $3,000,000 and in multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof the outstanding principal amounts of the Eurocurrency Loans comprising a Eurocurrency Advance without penalty or premium, except as otherwise provided in Section 3.4, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid.

(i)

Generally. If at any time, (a) the Dollar Amount of the Revolving Credit Obligations exceeds 105% of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment, (b) the Dollar Amount of all Eurocurrency Loans and Facility LCs in Agreed Currencies other than Dollars exceeds 105% of the Maximum Foreign Currency Amount (utilizing the exchange rates determined in accordance with Section 2.1), (c) the aggregate amount of the outstanding Swing Line Loans exceeds 105% of the Swing Line Commitment or (d) the Dollar Amount of Revolving Loans and Facility LCs made to or issued for the account of the Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrowers exceeds 105% of the Maximum Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower Amount, the applicable Borrower for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Loan Lenders shall immediately prepay Revolving Loans (to be applied to such Loans as the applicable Borrower shall direct at the time of such payment) in an aggregate amount such that after giving effect thereto (w) the Dollar Amount of the Revolving Credit Obligations is less than or equal to the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment, (x) the Dollar Amount of all Eurocurrency Loans and Facility LCs in Agreed Currencies other than Dollars is less than or equal to the Maximum Foreign Currency Amount, (y) the amount of outstanding Swing Line Loans is less than or equal to the Swing Line Commitment and (z) the Dollar Amount of Revolving Loans and Facility LCs made

to or issued for the account of the Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrowers is less than or equal to the Maximum Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower Amount (it being understood and agreed that no Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower shall be liable for any Loans made to, or Obligations incurred by, the Borrower).

(ii)

Asset Sales. Upon the consummation of any Asset Sale by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, within three (3) Business Days after the Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds (or conversion to cash of non-cash proceeds (whether principal or interest and including securities and release of escrow arrangements)) from any such Asset Sale, the Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment of the Loans and cash collateralize the Reimbursement Obligations, subject to the provisions governing the application of payments set forth in Section 2.4(d), in an amount equal to the Relevant Prepayment Percentage of such Net Cash Proceeds.

(iii)

Financings. Upon the consummation of any Financing by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, within three (3) Business Days after the Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from any such Financing, the Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment of the Loans and cash collateralize the Reimbursement Obligations, subject to the provisions governing the application of payments set forth in Section 2.4(d), in an amount equal to the Relevant Prepayment Percentage of such Net Cash Proceeds.

(d) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, any amount paid or prepaid before the Revolving Loan Termination Date (or, if earlier, the date of termination in whole of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof or the Commitments pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof) pursuant to Section 2.4(c)(i) with respect to Loans (other than the Term Loans) may be borrowed, repaid and borrowed again prior to the Revolving Loan Termination Date (or, if earlier, the date of termination in whole of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof or the Commitments pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) each mandatory prepayment and cash collateralization required by clauses (ii) and (iii) of Section 2.4(c) (a “Designated Prepayment”) shall be applied (i) first to repay the then remaining installments of the Term Loans and in the inverse order of maturity, (ii) second, upon repayment in full of the Term Loans, to prepay the Revolving Loans then outstanding and (iii) upon repayment in full of the Revolving Loans, to cash collateralize the Reimbursement Obligations as contemplated by Section 2.23(m). Designated Prepayments of Loans shall first be applied to Floating Rate Loans and to any Eurocurrency Loans maturing on such date and then to subsequently maturing Eurodollar Rate Loans in order of maturity. Designated Prepayments of Revolving Loans and Reimbursement Obligations shall be accompanied by a permanent reduction and termination, on a Dollar for Dollar basis, in the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment ratably among the Revolving Loan Lenders.

2.5 Ratable Loans. Each Advance hereunder shall consist of Loans made from the several Lenders ratably in proportion to their respective Revolving Loan Percentages or Term Loan Percentages, as applicable.

2.6 Types of Advances. The Advances may be Floating Rate Advances or Eurocurrency Advances, or a combination thereof, selected by the applicable Borrower in accordance with Sections 2.8 and 2.9.

2.7 Facility Fee; Commitment Fee; Reductions in Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment.

(a) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Agent for the pro rata account of the Revolving Loan Lenders according to their Percentages (except as set forth in Section 8.2), a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) accruing at the rate of the Applicable Facility Fee per annum based on the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment (without regards to usage thereof), from Initial Funding Date to and including the Revolving Loan Termination Date, payable on each Payment Date after the Initial Funding Date and on the Revolving Loan Termination Date (it being understood and agreed that no Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower shall be liable to pay any Facility Fees determined to be attributable to the Borrower).

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the pro rata account of certain Term Loan Lenders according to their Commitment Fee Percentages (except as set forth in Section 8.2), a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) accruing at the rate of 0.375% per annum based on $230,000,000, from the date hereof to (but not including) the Initial Funding Date, payable on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter (to the extent occurring prior to the Initial Funding Date) and on the Initial Funding Date, commencing on the first calendar quarter-end occurring after the date hereof (it being understood and agreed that no Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower shall be liable to pay any Commitment Fees). Schedule 1(b) identifies the relevant Term Loan Lenders entitled to the Commitment Fees and the amount of their Term Loan Commitment in respect of which such Commitment Fees shall be payable.

(c) The Borrower may permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment in whole, or in part, ratably among the Revolving Loan Lenders in integral multiples of $5,000,000 upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Agent, which notice shall specify the amount of any such reduction (the “Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment Reduction Notice”); provided, that the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment may not be reduced below the Dollar Amount of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure not attributable to Term Loans. All accrued Facility Fees shall be payable on the effective date of any termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments of the Revolving Loan Lenders and the obligation of the Borrowers to pay facility fees with respect to any Revolving Loan Commitments shall terminate on the date of any termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments.

2.8 Minimum Amount of Each Advance; Maximum Interest Periods. Each Eurocurrency Advance shall be in the minimum amount of $3,000,000 or the Approximate Equivalent Amount of any Agreed Currency other than Dollars (and in multiples of $1,000,000 or the Approximate Equivalent Amount of any Agreed Currency other than Dollars if in excess thereof), and each Floating Rate Advance (other than an Advance to repay Swing Line Loans or Reimbursement Obligations) shall be in the minimum amount of $3,000,000 (and a multiple of

$1,000,000 if in excess thereof); provided, that any Floating Rate Advance may be in the amount of the Revolving Credit Availability. In addition, the Borrowers shall select Eurocurrency Interest Periods under Sections 2.9 and 2.10 so that no more than ten (10) Eurocurrency Interest Periods shall be outstanding at any one time.

2.9 Method of Selecting New Advances. The applicable Borrower shall select the Type of Advance and, in the case of each Eurocurrency Advance, the Eurocurrency Interest Period and Agreed Currency applicable to each Advance from time to time. The applicable Borrower shall give the Agent irrevocable notice (a “Borrowing Notice”) or, in the case of any Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower, the Borrower may give the Agent a Borrowing Notice on its behalf, by telephone or telefax not later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) (i) on the proposed Borrowing Date of each Floating Rate Advance, (ii) three Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each Eurocurrency Advance in Dollars and (iii) four Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each Eurocurrency Advance in an Agreed Currency other than Dollars, specifying:

(i)

the applicable Borrower;

(ii)

Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day, of such Advance,

(iii)

the aggregate amount of such Advance,

(iv)

the Type of Advance selected, and

(v)

in the case of each Eurocurrency Advance, the Agreed Currency and the Eurocurrency Interest Period applicable thereto.

With respect to the Term Loans, the Borrower may not select a Eurocurrency Interest Period that ends after the Term Loan Final Maturity Date. With respect to the Revolving Loans, the applicable Borrower may not select a Eurocurrency Interest Period that ends after the Revolving Loan Termination Date. Not later than (i) 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on each Borrowing Date with respect to Floating Rate Advances and (ii) noon (Chicago time) on each Borrowing Date for Eurocurrency Advances, each Lender shall make available its Loan or Loans, in funds immediately available funds in the Agreed Currency to the Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII, unless the Agent has notified the Lenders that such Loan is to be made available to the applicable Borrower at the Agent’s Eurocurrency Payment Office, in which case each Lender shall make available its Loan or Loans, in funds immediately available to the Agent at its Eurocurrency Payment Office, not later than 1:00 p.m. (local time in the city of the Agent’s Eurocurrency Payment Office) in the Agreed Currency designated by the Agent. The Agent will make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the applicable Borrower at the Agent’s aforesaid address.

2.10 Conversion and Continuation of Outstanding Advances. Floating Rate Advances shall continue as Floating Rate Advances unless and until such Floating Rate Advances are converted into Eurocurrency Advances. Each Eurocurrency Advance shall continue as a Eurocurrency Advance of such Type until the end of the then applicable Eurocurrency Interest Period therefor, at which time such Eurocurrency Advance (other than Eurocurrency Advances

in Agreed Currencies other than Dollars) shall be automatically converted into a Floating Rate Advance unless the applicable Borrower shall have given the Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice (which, in the case of a Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower, may be delivered by the Borrower on its behalf), in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.10 requesting that, at the end of such Eurocurrency Interest Period, such Eurocurrency Advance continue as a Eurocurrency Advance for the same or another Eurocurrency Interest Period. Unless a Conversion/Continuation Notice shall have timely been given in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.10, Eurocurrency Advances in an Agreed Currency other than Dollars shall automatically continue as Eurocurrency Advances in the same Agreed Currency with an Eurocurrency Interest Period of one (1) month. Subject to the terms of Section 2.8, the applicable Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of the Term Loans or the Revolving Loans from any Type into any other Type of Loan or Types of Loans; provided that any conversion of any Eurocurrency Advance shall be made on, and only on, the last day of the Eurocurrency Interest Period applicable thereto. The applicable Borrower shall give the Agent irrevocable notice (a “Conversion/Continuation Notice”) or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower, the Borrower may give the Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice on its behalf, of each conversion of a Floating Rate Advance into a Eurocurrency Advance or continuation of a Eurocurrency Advance not later than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) at least (a) three Business Days prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation of a Eurocurrency Advance in Dollars and (b) four Business Days prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation of a Eurocurrency Advance in an Agreed Currency other than Dollars, specifying in each case:

(i)

the requested date, which shall be a Business Day, of such conversion or continuation;

(ii)

the aggregate amount and Type of the Advance which is to be converted or continued; and

(iii)

the amount and Type(s) of Advance(s) into which such Advance is to be converted or continued and, in the case of a conversion into or continuation of a Eurocurrency Advance, the duration of the Eurocurrency Interest Period applicable thereto.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Eurocurrency Advances in an Agreed Currency may be converted and/or continued as Eurocurrency Advances only in the same Agreed Currency. Promptly after receipt of any Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Agent shall provide the Lenders with notice thereof.

2.11 Changes in Interest Rate, etc. Each Floating Rate Advance and Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Advance or Swing Line Loan is made or, in the case of a Floating Rate Advance, is converted from a Eurocurrency Advance into a Floating Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.10 to but excluding the date it becomes due or, in the case of a Floating Rate Advance, is converted into a Eurocurrency Advance pursuant to Section 2.10 hereof, at a rate per annum equal to the

Floating Rate for such day or, in the case of the Swing Line Loans, such other rate as may have been agreed to between the Borrower and the Swing Line Lender. Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as a Floating Rate Advance and each Swing Line Loan bearing interest by reference to the Floating Rate will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate and with each change in the Applicable Margin. Each Eurocurrency Advance shall bear interest from and including the first day of the Eurocurrency Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Eurocurrency Interest Period at the Eurocurrency Rate determined as applicable to such Eurocurrency Advance. Changes in the rate of interest on any Eurocurrency Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Applicable Margin. No Eurocurrency Interest Period with respect to Revolving Loans may end after the Revolving Loan Termination Date (or, if earlier, the date of termination in whole of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof or the Commitments pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof).

2.12 Rates Applicable After Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.9 or 2.10, during the continuance of a Default or Unmatured Default the Required Revolving Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrowers, declare that no Advance may be made as, converted into or continued as a Eurocurrency Advance. During the continuance of any Default under Section 7.2, the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrowers, declare that (i) each Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate plus 2% per annum and (ii) each of the Applicable Commercial Facility LC Fee, Applicable Facility Fee, Applicable Facility LC Fronting Fee and Applicable Stand-by Facility LC Fee shall be increased by 2% above the percentage rate per annum otherwise applicable thereto.

2.13 Method of Payment. All payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, to the Agent (i) at the Agent’s address specified pursuant to Article XIII in immediately available funds with respect to Advances or other Obligations denominated in Dollars and (ii) at the Agent’s Eurocurrency Payment Office in immediately available funds with respect to any Advance or other Obligations denominated in an Agreed Currency other than Dollars, or at any other Lending Installation of the Agent specified in writing by the Agent to the Borrowers, by noon (local time) on the date when due and shall be applied ratably by the Agent among the relevant Lenders (unless such amount is not to be shared ratably in accordance with the express terms hereof). Any payment received by the Agent after such time shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. Each Advance shall be repaid or prepaid in the Agreed Currency in which it was made in the amount borrowed and interest payable thereon shall also be paid in such Agreed Currency. Each payment delivered to the Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Agent from such Lender. The Agent is hereby authorized to charge the account of the applicable Borrower maintained with JPMorgan for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder (it being understood and agreed that the Agent shall not charge the account of any Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower for any payment of principal or interest on Loans made to the Borrower, or for fees incurred by the Borrower). Any payment by any Borrower to the Agent for the account of the

Lenders in accordance with the terms hereof shall, to the extent of such payment, discharge such Borrower’s obligation to make such payment to the Lenders. Each reference to the Agent in this Section 2.13 shall also be deemed to refer, and shall apply equally, to the LC Issuer, in the case of payments required to be made by any Borrower to the LC Issuer pursuant to Section 2.23. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, if, after the making of any Advance in any currency other than Dollars, currency control or exchange regulations are imposed in the country which issues such currency with the result that different types of such Agreed Currency (the “New Currency”) are introduced and the type of currency in which the Advance was made (the “Original Currency”) no longer exists or the applicable Borrower is not able to make payment to the Agent for the account of the Lenders in such Original Currency, then all payments to be made by such Borrower hereunder in such currency shall be made to the Agent in such amount and such type of the New Currency or Dollars as shall be equivalent to the amount of such payment otherwise due hereunder in the Original Currency, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the applicable Borrower take all risks of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulations. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, if, after the making of any Advance in any currency other than Dollars, any Borrower is not able to make payment to the Agent for the account of the Lenders in the type of currency in which such Advance was made because of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulation, then such Advance shall instead be repaid when due in Dollars in a principal amount equal to the Dollar Amount (as of the date of repayment) of such Advance.

2.14 Noteless Agreement; Evidence of Indebtedness.

(i)

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

(ii)

The Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (a) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Eurocurrency Interest Period with respect thereto, (b) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower, respectively, to each Lender hereunder and (c) the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder from each Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(iii)

The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (i) and (ii) above shall be binding and conclusive evidence, absent manifest error, of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay the Obligations incurred by it in accordance with their terms.

(iv)

Any Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a promissory note in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto. In such event, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender promissory notes payable to the order of such Lender in a

form approved by the Agent and consistent with the terms of this Agreement. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory notes and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 12.3) be represented by one or more promissory notes payable to the order of the payee named therein or any assignee pursuant to Section 12.3, except to the extent that any such Lender or assignee subsequently returns any such promissory note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in paragraphs (i) and (ii) above.

2.15 Telephonic Notices. Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances and Swing Line Loans, as applicable, effect selections of Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons the Agent, the Swing Line Lender or any Lender in good faith believes to be an Authorized Officer of such Borrower. Each Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Agent a written confirmation, if such confirmation is requested by the Agent, the Swing Line Lender or any Lender, of each telephonic notice, signed by an Authorized Officer. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Agent, the Swing Line Lender and the Lenders, the records of the Agent, the Swing Line Lender and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error.

2.16 Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis. Interest accrued on each Floating Rate Advance and Swing Line Loan shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Initial Funding Date, on any date on which the Floating Rate Advance or Swing Line Loan is prepaid and at maturity (whether due to acceleration or otherwise). Interest accrued on that portion of the outstanding principal amount of any Floating Rate Advance converted into a Eurocurrency Advance on a day other than a Payment Date shall be payable on the date of conversion. Interest accrued on each Eurocurrency Advance shall be payable on the last day of its applicable Eurocurrency Interest Period, on any date on which the Eurocurrency Advance is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on each Eurocurrency Advance having an Eurocurrency Interest Period longer than three months shall also be payable on the last Business Day of each three-month interval during such Eurocurrency Interest Period. Interest accrued on all Loans for which the Prime Rate is the basis shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a year of 365 or, when appropriate, 366 days. Interest accrued on all Loans for which the Eurocurrency Rate is the basis and all fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a year of 360 days, or, in the case of Loans denominated in currencies other than Dollars, such other basis as is consistent with market conditions in the applicable jurisdictions, in each case for actual days elapsed. Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance or Swing Line Loan is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to noon (local time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance or Swing Line Loan or any fee shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.

2.17 Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Commitment Reductions. The Agent will promptly notify each relevant Lender of the contents of each

Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment Reduction Notice, Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice, and Prepayment Notice received by it hereunder. The Agent will notify each Lender of the interest rate applicable to each Eurocurrency Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Borrower and each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.

2.18 Lending Installations. Each Lender may book its Loans at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and any promissory notes requested to be issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of such Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written or facsimile notice to the Agent and the Borrowers, designate a Lending Installation through which Loans will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments and/or payments of LC Obligations are to be made.

2.19 Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrowers. The Borrower may at any time during the term of this Agreement, with the consent of the Agent, add as a party to this Agreement not more than two First-Tier Foreign Subsidiaries to be “Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrowers” hereunder by (a) the execution and delivery to the Agent of a duly completed Assumption Letter by such Subsidiary, with the written consent of the Borrower at the foot thereof and (b) the execution and delivery to the Agent of such other guaranties, security documents, pledge agreements, legal opinions from counsel and such other instruments and documents as may be reasonably required by the Agent. Upon such execution, delivery and consent, such Subsidiary shall for all purposes be a party hereto as a Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower as fully as if it had executed and delivered this Agreement.

2.20 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Agent. Unless any Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Agent prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the case of any Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Agent for the account of any of the Lenders or, in the case of the Borrower, the Swing Line Lender, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or such Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Agent, repay to the Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Agent until the date the Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day or (ii) in the case of payment by such Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan.

2.21 Intentionally Omitted.

2.22 Withholding Tax Exemption. (i) At least five Business Days prior to the first date on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for the account of any Lender, each Lender that is not incorporated or otherwise organized under the laws of the United States of America, or a

state thereof (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) agrees that it will deliver to each of the Borrower and the Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, certifying in either case that such Non-U.S. Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, and (ii) deliver to each of the Borrower and the Agent a United States Internal Revenue Form W-8 or W-9, as the case may be, and certify that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each Non-U.S. Lender further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrower and the Agent (x) two renewals or additional copies of such form (or a successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete, and (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, such amendments thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent. All forms or amendments described in the preceding sentence shall certify that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Non-U.S. Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Non-U.S. Lender advises the Borrower and the Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax. For any period during which a Non-U.S. Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with an appropriate form pursuant to this Section 2.22, above (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification with respect to taxes imposed by the United States; provided that, should a Non-U.S. Lender which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax become subject to taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required under this Section 2.22, the Borrowers, respectively, shall take such steps as such Non-U.S. Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Non-U.S. Lender to recover such taxes.

2.23 Facility LCs.

(a) The LC Issuer hereby agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to issue stand-by and commercial Facility LCs in Dollars or an Agreed Currency for the account of the applicable Borrower (each, a “Facility LC”) and to renew, extend, increase, decrease or otherwise modify each Facility LC (each a “Modification”), from time to time from and including the date of this Agreement and prior to the Revolving Loan Termination Date (or, if earlier, the date of termination in whole of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof or the Commitments pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof) upon the request of the applicable Borrower or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower, upon the request of the Borrower on its behalf; provided, that immediately after each such Facility LC is issued or Modified, (i) the aggregate Dollar Amount of the outstanding LC Obligations shall not exceed $40,000,000, (ii) the Dollar Amount of all Eurocurrency Loans and Facility LCs in Agreed Currencies other than Dollars is less than or equal to the Maximum Foreign Currency Amount, (iii) the Revolving Credit Obligations shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment, (iv) the aggregate outstanding principal Dollar Amount of all Revolving Loans

and Facility LCs made to or issued for the account of the Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrowers shall not exceed the Maximum Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower Amount and (v) the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.3 shall have been satisfied; provided, further, that if the applicable Borrower has requested a Lender other than JPMorgan to act as LC Issuer with respect to the issuance or Modification of a particular Facility LC, such issuance or Modification shall be made only in the sole discretion of such Lender. No Facility LC shall have an expiry date later than the day which is two years after the Revolving Loan Termination Date; provided that any Facility LC with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which in no event shall extend beyond the date which is two years after the Revolving Loan Termination Date).

(b) On the Initial Funding Date with respect to the Existing LCs and upon the issuance or Modification by the LC Issuer of a Facility LC in accordance with this Section 2.23, the LC Issuer shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have sold to each Revolving Loan Lender, and each Revolving Loan Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have purchased from the LC Issuer, a participation in such Facility LC (and each Modification thereof) and the related LC Obligations in an amount equal to the stated amount available for drawing under the applicable Facility LC and any such related LC Obligations, multiplied by such Revolving Loan Lender’s Revolving Loan Percentage, provided, however, that no Revolving Loan Lender’s participation shall extend to Reimbursement Obligations or amounts available for drawing under outstanding Facility LCs to the extent such Obligations and amounts have been cash collateralized in accordance with the terms of Section 2.23(m). Such participation shall constitute usage of each such Revolving Loan Lenders’ Revolving Loan Commitment.

(c) Subject to subsection (a), the applicable Borrower (or in the case of a Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower, the Borrower on its behalf) shall give the LC Issuer notice prior to 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) at least (i) three Business Days for Dollar denominated Facility LCs and (ii) five Business Days for Facility LCs denominated in any Agreed Currency other than Dollars prior to the proposed date of issuance or Modification of each Facility LC, specifying the beneficiary, the Agreed Currency in which the Facility LC is to be denominated, the proposed date of issuance (or Modification) and the expiry date of such Facility LC, and describing the proposed terms of such Facility LC and the nature of the transactions proposed to be supported thereby. Upon receipt of such notice, the LC Issuer shall promptly notify the Agent, and the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender, of the contents thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s participation in such proposed Facility LC. The issuance or Modification by the LC Issuer of any Facility LC shall, in addition to the conditions precedent set forth in Article IV (the satisfaction of which the LC Issuer shall have no duty to ascertain), be subject to the conditions precedent that such Facility LC shall be satisfactory to the LC Issuer and that the applicable Borrower shall have executed and delivered such application agreement and/or such other instruments and agreements relating to such Facility LC as the LC Issuer shall have reasonably requested (each, a “Facility LC Application Agreement”). In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Facility LC Application Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

(d) The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, for the account of the Revolving Loan Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Loan Percentages (except as provided in Section 8.2), a letter of credit fee equal to (i) a percentage per annum equal to the Applicable Stand-by Facility LC Fee in effect from time to time on the average daily aggregate amount available for drawings under all stand-by Facility LCs outstanding during such quarter and (ii) a percentage per annum equal to the Applicable Commercial Facility LC Fee in effect from time to time on the average daily aggregate amount available for drawings under all commercial Facility LCs outstanding during such quarter (it being understood and agreed that a Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower shall be liable to pay such fees only with respect to Facility LCs issued for its account). Each such fee under clauses (i) and (ii) shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date after the Initial Funding Date and on the Revolving Loan Termination Date (or, if earlier, the date of termination in whole of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof or the Commitments pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof). The applicable Borrower shall pay to the LC Issuer on the date of issuance of each Facility LC, a Facility LC fronting fee equal to the Applicable Facility LC Fronting Fee of the stated amount available for drawing under each such Facility LC, and such additional fees and expenses relating to the issuance, Modification, and payment of Facility LCs in the amounts and at the times agreed between the Borrower and the LC Issuer (it being understood and agreed that a Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower shall be liable to pay such fronting fee only with respect to Facility LCs issued for its account). The LC Issuer shall furnish to the Agent upon request its calculations with respect to the amount of any fee payable under this subsection (d).

(e) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Facility LC of any demand for payment under such Facility LC, the LC Issuer shall notify the Agent and the Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower and each other Revolving Loan Lender as to the amount to be paid by the LC Issuer as a result of such demand and the proposed payment date (the “LC Payment Date”). The responsibility of the LC Issuer to the applicable Borrower and each Revolving Loan Lender shall be only to determine that the documents (including each demand for payment) delivered under each Facility LC in connection with such presentment shall be in conformity in all material respects with such Facility LC. The LC Issuer shall endeavor to exercise the same care in the issuance and administration of the Facility LCs as it does with respect to letters of credit in which no participations are granted, it being understood that in the absence of any gross negligence or willful misconduct by the LC Issuer, each Revolving Loan Lender shall be unconditionally and irrevocably liable without regard to the occurrence of any Default or any condition precedent whatsoever, to reimburse the LC Issuer on demand for (i) such Revolving Loan Lender’s Revolving Loan Percentage of the amount of each payment made by the LC Issuer under each Facility LC to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower pursuant to subsection (f) below plus (ii) interest on the foregoing amount to be reimbursed by such Revolving Loan Lender, for each day from the date of the LC Issuer’s demand for such reimbursement (or, if such demand is made after 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on such date, from the next succeeding Business Day) to the date on which such Revolving Loan Lender pays the amount to be reimbursed by it, at a rate of interest per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day; provided, however, that upon any such demand by the LC Issuer for reimbursement from the Revolving Loan Lenders of the amounts described in clauses (i) and (ii) above (the “LC Reimbursement Amounts”), the LC Reimbursement

Amounts shall be immediately and automatically converted to and redenominated in Dollars equal to the Dollar Amount of such LC Reimbursement Amounts determined as of the date of such conversion.

(f) The applicable Borrower shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to reimburse the LC Issuer on or by the applicable LC Payment Date for any amounts to be paid by the LC Issuer upon any drawing under any Facility LC, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind (it being understood and agreed that no Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower shall be liable to reimburse any LC Issuer for any amounts attributable to drawings under Facility LCs issued for the account of the Borrower); provided, that neither the Borrowers nor any Revolving Loan Lender shall hereby be precluded from asserting any claim for direct (but not consequential) damages suffered by the applicable Borrower or such Revolving Loan Lender to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (i) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the LC Issuer in determining whether a request presented under any Facility LC issued by it complied with the terms of such Facility LC or (ii) the LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any Facility LC issued by it after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Facility LC. All such amounts paid by the LC Issuer and remaining unpaid by the applicable Borrower after the applicable LC Payment Date shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the rate applicable to Floating Rate Advances for such day. The LC Issuer will pay to each Revolving Loan Lender ratably in accordance with its Revolving Loan Percentage all amounts received by it from the applicable Borrower for application in payment, in whole or in part, of the Reimbursement Obligation in respect of any Facility LC issued by the LC Issuer, but only to the extent such Revolving Loan Lender has made payment to the LC Issuer in respect of such Facility LC pursuant to subsection (e). Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including without limitation the submission of a Borrowing Notice in compliance with Section 2.9 and the satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article IV), any Borrower may request an Advance or, in the case of the Borrower only, a Swing Line Loan hereunder for the purpose of satisfying any Reimbursement Obligation.

(g) If after the Initial Funding Date, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the LC Issuer or any Revolving Loan Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall impose, modify or deem applicable any tax, reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against or with respect to or measured by reference to Facility LCs issued or to be issued hereunder or participation therein, and the result shall be to increase the cost to the LC Issuer or any Revolving Loan Lender of issuing or maintaining any Facility LC or any participation therein, or reduce any amount receivable hereunder by the LC Issuer or any Revolving Loan Lender in respect of any Facility LC (which increase in cost, or reduction in amount receivable, shall be the result of such Revolving Loan Lender’s or the LC Issuer’s reasonable allocation of the aggregate of such increases or reductions resulting from such event), then, upon demand by the LC Issuer or such Revolving Loan Lender, each Borrower agrees, as applicable, to pay to the LC Issuer or

such Revolving Loan Lender, from time to time as specified by the LC Issuer or such Revolving Loan Lender, such additional amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate the LC Issuer or such Revolving Loan Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received by the LC Issuer or such Revolving Loan Lender (it being understood and agreed that no Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower shall be liable to compensate any LC Issuer for any such costs or reductions in amounts received with respect to Facility LCs issued for the account of the Borrower). A certificate of the LC Issuer or such Revolving Loan Lender submitted by the LC Issuer or such Revolving Loan Lender to the applicable Borrower shall be conclusive as to the amount thereof in the absence of manifest error.

(h) The Borrowers’ obligations under this Section 2.23 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set off, counterclaim or defense to payment which the applicable Borrower may have or have had against the LC Issuer, any Revolving Loan Lender or any beneficiary of a Facility LC. Each Borrower further agrees with the LC Issuer and the Revolving Loan Lenders that the LC Issuer and the Revolving Loan Lenders shall not be responsible for, and such Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligation in respect of any Facility LC 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 such Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, the beneficiary of any Facility LC or any financing institution or other party to whom any Facility LC may be transferred or any claims or defenses whatsoever of such Borrower or of any of its Subsidiaries against the beneficiary of any Facility LC or any such transferee. Absent willful misconduct or gross negligence, the LC Issuer 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 Facility LC. Each Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the LC Issuer or any Revolving Loan Lender under or in connection with each Facility LC and the related drafts and documents, if done without gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding upon such Borrower and shall not put the LC Issuer or any Revolving Loan Lender under any liability to such Borrower. Nothing in this subsection (h) is intended to limit the right of any Borrower to make a claim against the LC Issuer for damages as contemplated by the proviso to the first sentence of subsection (f) above.

(i) To the extent not inconsistent with subsection (h) above, the LC Issuer shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any Facility LC, draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document 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, independent accountants and other experts selected by the LC Issuer. The LC Issuer shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it shall first have received such advice or concurrence of the Required Revolving Loan Lenders as it reasonably deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Revolving Loan 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. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.23, the LC Issuer shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a

request of the Required Revolving Lenders (or all of the Lenders, if required hereunder), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Revolving Loan Lenders and all future holders of participations in any Facility LCs.

(j) Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, the LC Issuer and the Agent, and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees from and against any and all claims and damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses which such Lender, the LC Issuer or the Agent may incur (or which may be claimed against such Lender, the LC Issuer or the Agent by any Person whatsoever) by reason of or in connection with the execution and delivery or transfer of or payment or failure to pay under any Facility LC or any actual or proposed use of any Facility LC, including, without limitation, any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses which the LC Issuer may incur by reason of or in connection with (i) the failure of any other Lender to fulfill or comply with its obligations to the LC Issuer hereunder (but nothing herein contained shall affect any rights such Borrower may have against any defaulting Lender) or (ii) by reason of or on account of the LC Issuer issuing any Facility LC which specifies that the term “Beneficiary” included therein includes any successor by operation of law of the named Beneficiary, but which Facility LC does not require that any drawing by any such successor Beneficiary be accompanied by a copy of a legal document, satisfactory to the LC Issuer, evidencing the appointment of such successor Beneficiary (it being understood and agreed that no Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower shall be liable pursuant to this subsection (j) with respect to any Facility LCs issued for the account of the Borrower); provided, that such Borrower shall not be required to indemnify the LC Issuer for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (i) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the LC Issuer in determining whether a request presented under any Facility LC complied with the terms of such Facility LC or (ii) the LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any Facility LC after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Facility LC. Nothing in this subsection (j) is intended to limit the obligations of any Borrower under any other provision of this Agreement.

(k) Each Revolving Loan Lender shall, ratably in accordance with its Revolving Loan Percentage, indemnify the LC Issuer, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower) against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such indemnitees’ gross negligence or willful misconduct or the LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any Facility LC after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Facility LC) that such indemnitees may suffer or incur in connection with this Section 2.23 or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitees hereunder.

(l) In its capacity as a Lender, the LC Issuer shall have the same rights and obligations as any other Lender.

(m) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any application for a Facility LC, the applicable Borrower shall, not later than the Revolving Loan Termination Date (or, if earlier, the date of termination in whole of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment

pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof or the Commitments pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof or otherwise to the extent required in connection with a Designated Prepayment pursuant to Section 2.4(d) hereof) or on any earlier Business Day after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Unmatured Default that it receives the Agent’s demand, deliver to the Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Loan Lenders and the LC Issuer, cash having a value, as determined by the Agent, equal to one hundred and five percent (105%) of each of the aggregate amount of the outstanding Reimbursement Obligations and the aggregate amount available for drawing under Facility LCs that are outstanding. Any such collateral shall be held by the Agent in a separate account appropriately designated as a cash collateral account in relation to this Agreement and the Facility LCs and retained by the Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Loan Lenders and the LC Issuer as collateral security for such Borrower’s obligations in respect of this Agreement and each of the Facility LCs and LC Drafts. Such amounts shall be applied to reimburse the LC Issuer for drawings or payments under or pursuant to Facility LCs or LC Drafts, or if no such reimbursement is required, to payment of such of the other Obligations as the Agent shall determine (it being understood and agreed that no Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower shall be required to provide collateral in connection with any Facility LCs issued for the account of the Borrower, nor shall any collateral provided by any Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower pursuant to this subsection (m) be applied toward drawings or payments under or in connection with Facility LCs issued for the account of the Borrower or Obligations incurred by the Borrower). Amounts remaining in any cash collateral account established pursuant to this Section 2.23 which are not to be applied to reimburse the Agent or any LC Issuer for amounts actually paid or to be paid by the Agent or any LC Issuer in respect of Obligations hereunder shall be promptly returned to the applicable Borrower upon the payment in full of all Obligations hereunder, after deduction of the Agent’s reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such cash collateral account.

2.24 Transitional Letter of Credit Provisions. From and after the Initial Funding Date, the Existing LCs shall be deemed to constitute Facility LCs issued pursuant to Section 2.23 in which the Revolving Loan Lenders participate. Fees shall accrue in respect of the Existing LCs as provided in Section 2.23(d) beginning as of the Initial Funding Date.

2.25 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due from any Borrower hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Agent’s main office in Chicago, Illinois on the Business Day preceding that on which the final, non-appealable judgment is given. The obligations of the applicable Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Lender or the Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, such Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so,

as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum originally due to any Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency and (b) any amounts shared with other Lenders as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender under Section 11.2, such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to the applicable Borrower (it being understood and agreed that no Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower shall be liable under this Section 2.25 in connection with any Obligations incurred by the Borrower).

2.26 Market Disruption. Notwithstanding the satisfaction of all conditions referred to in Article II with respect to any Advance in any Agreed Currency other than Dollars, if there shall occur on or prior to the date of such Advance any change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls which would in the reasonable opinion of the applicable Borrower, the Agent or the Required Lenders make it impracticable for the Eurocurrency Loans comprising such Advance to be denominated in the Agreed Currency specified by the applicable Borrower, then the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to such Borrower and the Lenders or such Borrower shall give notice thereof to the Lenders, as the case may be, and such Eurocurrency Loans shall not be denominated in such currency but shall be made on such Borrowing Date in Dollars, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Dollar Amount of the aggregate principal amount specified in the related Borrowing Notice, as Floating Rate Loans, unless the applicable Borrower notifies the Agent at least one Business Day before such date that (i) it elects not to borrow on such date or (ii) it elects to borrow on such date in a different Agreed Currency, as the case may be, in which the denomination of such Eurocurrency Loans would in the opinion of the Agent, the Required Lenders be practicable and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Dollar Amount of the aggregate principal amount specified in the related Borrowing Notice.

2.27 Increase of Revolving Loan Commitments. (a) At any time, the Borrower may request that the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment be increased; provided that, without the prior written consent of all of the Revolving Loan Lenders, (i) the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment shall at no time exceed $325,000,000 minus the aggregate amount of all reductions in the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment previously made pursuant to Section 2.4(d) and Section 2.7; (ii) the Borrower shall not make any such request during the six month period following any reduction in the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment previously made pursuant to Section 2.7; (iii) the Borrower shall not be entitled to make any such request more frequently than once in each 12-month period; and (iv) each such request shall be in a minimum amount of at least $10,000,000 and increments of $5,000,000 in excess thereof. Such request shall be made in a written notice given to the Agent and the Revolving Loan Lenders by the Borrower not less than twenty (20) Business Days prior to the proposed effective date of such increase, which notice (a “Commitment Increase Notice”) shall specify the amount of the proposed increase in the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment and the proposed effective date of such increase. In the event of such a Commitment Increase Notice, each of the Revolving Loan Lenders shall be given the opportunity to participate in the requested increase ratably in proportions that their respective Revolving Loan Commitments bear to the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment. No Revolving Loan Lender shall have any obligation to increase

its Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to a Commitment Increase Notice. On or prior to the date that is ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Commitment Increase Notice, each Revolving Loan Lender shall submit to the Agent a notice indicating the maximum amount by which it is willing to increase its Revolving Loan Commitment in connection with such Commitment Increase Notice (any such notice to the Agent being herein a “Lender Increase Notice”). Any Revolving Loan Lender which does not submit a Lender Increase Notice to the Agent prior to the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to have denied any increase in its Revolving Loan Commitment. In the event that the increases of Revolving Loan Commitments set forth in the Lender Increase Notices exceed the amount requested by the Borrower in the Commitment Increase Notice, the Agent and each Arranger shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to allocate the amount of increases necessary to meet the Borrower’s Commitment Increase Notice. In the event that the Lender Increase Notices are less than the amount requested by the Borrower, the Agent shall so advise the Borrower not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the proposed effective date, and not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed effective date the Borrower may notify the Agent of any financial institution that shall have agreed to become a “Revolving Loan Lender” party hereto (a “Proposed New Lender”) in connection with the Commitment Increase Notice. Any Proposed New Lender shall be consented to by the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). If the Borrower shall not have arranged any Proposed New Lender(s) to commit to the shortfall from the Lender Increase Notices, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have reduced the amount of its Commitment Increase Notice to the aggregate amount set forth in the Lender Increase Notices. Based upon the Lender Increase Notices, any allocations made in connection therewith and any notice regarding any Proposed New Lender, if applicable, the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders on or before the Business Day immediately prior to the proposed effective date of the amount of each Lender’s and Proposed New Lenders’ Revolving Loan Commitment (the “Effective Commitment Amount”) and the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment, which amount shall be effective on the following Business Day. Any increase in the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment shall be subject to the following conditions precedent: (A) the Borrower shall have obtained the consent thereto of each Subsidiary party to the Subsidiary Guaranty (each, a “Guarantor”) and its reaffirmation of the Credit Document(s) executed by it, which consent and reaffirmation shall be in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, (B) as of the date of the Commitment Increase Notice and as of the proposed effective date of the increase in the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment, all representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as though made on such date and no event shall have occurred and then be continuing which constitutes a Default or Unmatured Default, (C) the Borrower, the Agent and each Proposed New Lender or Revolving Loan Lender that shall have agreed to provide a “Revolving Loan Commitment” in support of such increase in the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment shall have executed and delivered a “Commitment and Acceptance” substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto, (D) counsel for the Borrower and for the Guarantors shall have provided to the Agent supplemental opinions in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and (E) the Borrower and the Proposed New Lender shall otherwise have executed and delivered such other instruments and documents as may be required under Article IV or that the Agent shall have reasonably requested in connection with such

increase. If any fee shall be charged by the Revolving Loan Lenders in connection with any such increase, such fee shall be in accordance with then prevailing market conditions, which market conditions shall have been reasonably documented by the Agent to the Borrower. Upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent to any increase in the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment, the Agent shall promptly advise the Borrower and each Revolving Loan Lender of the effective date of such increase. Upon the effective date of any increase in the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment that is supported by a Proposed New Lender, such Proposed New Lender shall be a party to this Agreement as a Revolving Loan Lender and shall have the rights and obligations of a Revolving Loan Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Revolving Loan Lender to increase its Revolving Loan Commitment at any time.

(b) For purposes of this clause (b), (A) the term “Buying Lender(s)” shall mean (1) each Revolving Loan Lender the Effective Commitment Amount of which is greater than its Revolving Loan Commitment prior to the effective date of any increase in the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment, and (2) each Proposed New Lender that is allocated an Effective Commitment Amount in connection with any Commitment Increase Notice and (B) the term “Selling Lender(s)” shall mean each Revolving Loan Lender whose Revolving Loan Commitment is not being increased from that in effect prior to such increase in the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment. Effective on the effective date of any increase in the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to clause (a) above, each Selling Lender hereby sells, grants, assigns and conveys to each Buying Lender, without recourse, warranty, or representation of any kind, except as specifically provided herein, an undivided percentage in such Selling Lender’s right, title and interest in and to its Outstanding Credit Exposure in the respective Dollar Amounts and percentages necessary so that, from and after such sale, each such Selling Lender’s Outstanding Credit Exposure shall equal such Selling Lender’s Percentage (calculated based upon the Effective Commitment Amounts) of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure. Effective on the effective date of the increase in the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to clause (a) above, each Buying Lender hereby purchases and accepts such grant, assignment and conveyance from the Selling Lenders. Each Buying Lender hereby agrees that its respective purchase price for the portion of the Outstanding Credit Exposure purchased hereby shall equal the respective Dollar Amount necessary so that, from and after such payments, each Buying Lender’s Outstanding Credit Exposure shall equal such Buying Lender’s Percentage (calculated based upon the Effective Commitment Amounts) of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure. Such amount shall be payable on the effective date of the increase in the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Agent. Each Selling Lender hereby represents and warrants to each Buying Lender that such Selling Lender owns the Outstanding Credit Exposure being sold and assigned hereby for its own account and has not sold, transferred or encumbered any or all of its interest in such Loans, except for participations which will be extinguished upon payment to Selling Lender of an amount equal to the portion of the Outstanding Credit Exposure being sold by such Selling Lender. Each Buying Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that, except for each Selling Lender’s representations and warranties contained in the foregoing sentence, each such Buying Lender has entered into its Commitment and Acceptance with respect to such increase on the

basis of its own independent investigation and has not relied upon, and will not rely upon, any explicit or implicit written or oral representation, warranty or other statement of the Lenders or the Agent concerning the authorization, execution, legality, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents. The Borrower hereby agrees to compensate each Selling Lender for all losses, expenses and liabilities incurred by each Selling Lender in connection with the sale and assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan hereunder on the terms and in the manner as set forth in Section 3.4.

ARTICLE III: CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

3.1 Yield Protection. If, after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of or change in, any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any interpretation thereof, or the compliance of any Lender therewith,

(i)

subjects any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to any tax, duty, charge or withholding on or from payments due from any Borrower (excluding taxation of the overall net income of any Lender or applicable Lending Installation), or changes the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender in respect of its Revolving Loan Commitment, Loans, LC Obligations or other amounts due it hereunder, or

(ii)

imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Advances) in respect of its Revolving Loan Commitment, Loans, LC Obligations or other amounts due it hereunder, or

(iii)

imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation of making, funding or maintaining its Revolving Loan Commitment, Loans or LC Obligations or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation in connection with Loans under this Agreement or its LC Obligations, or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of its Revolving Loan Commitment, Loans or LC Obligations held or interest received by it, by an amount deemed material by such Lender,

then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender, the applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender that portion of such increased expense incurred or reduction in an amount received which such Lender determines is attributable to making, funding and maintaining its Loans, LC Obligations and its Revolving Loan Commitment.

3.2. Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If a Lender determines the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender, any Lending Installation of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender is increased as a result of a “Change” (as

defined below), then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender the applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount necessary to compensate, on an after-tax basis, for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital which such Lender reasonably determines is attributable to this Agreement, its Outstanding Credit Exposure or its Commitments (after taking into account such Lender’s policies as to capital adequacy and the Change). “Change” means (i) any change after the date of this Agreement in the “Risk-Based Capital Guidelines” (as defined below) or (ii) any adoption of or change in any other law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not having the force of law) after the date of this Agreement which affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any Lending Installation or any corporation controlling any Lender. “Risk-Based Capital Guidelines” means (i) the risk-based capital guidelines in effect in the United States on the date of this Agreement, including transition rules, and (ii) the corresponding capital regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities outside the United States implementing the July 1988 report of the Basel Committee on Banking Regulation and Supervisory Practices Entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurements and Capital Standards,” including transition rules, and any amendments to such regulations adopted prior to the date of this Agreement.

3.3. Availability of Types of Advances. If any Lender determines that maintenance of any of its Eurocurrency Loans at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or directive, whether or not having the force of law, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Agent shall suspend the availability of Eurocurrency Advances and require any and all outstanding Eurocurrency Advances to be repaid. If the Required Lenders determine that (i) deposits of a type, currency or maturity appropriate to match fund Eurocurrency Advances are not available or (ii) the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Advances does not accurately reflect the cost of making Eurocurrency Advances, then the Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders shall suspend the availability of Eurocurrency Advances until such time as the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist.

3.4. Funding Indemnification. If any payment of a Eurocurrency Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Eurocurrency Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise (but excluding any such prepayment arising pursuant to Section 3.3), or a Eurocurrency Advance is not made or prepaid on the date specified by the applicable Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders, the applicable Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain such Advance.

3.5. Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its Eurocurrency Loans to reduce any liability of any Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.1 and 3.2 or to avoid the unavailability of a Type of Advance under Section 3.3, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender shall deliver to the applicable Borrower a written statement of such Lender as to the amount due, if any, under Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 3.4. Such

written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the applicable Borrower in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a Eurocurrency Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its Eurocurrency Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type, currency and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the Eurocurrency Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement or certificate shall be payable on demand after receipt by the applicable Borrower of the written statement.

If any Lender either (i) failed to fund its Revolving Loan Percentage or Term Loan Percentage, as applicable, of any Advance requested by any Borrower, or to fund a Revolving Loan in order to repay Swing Line Loans or Reimbursement Obligations or participations with respect to Letters of Credit, which such Lender is obligated to fund under the terms of this Agreement and which failure has not been cured; (ii) makes a demand for compensation pursuant to Section 2.23(g), Section 3.1 or Section 3.2, (iii) is unable to fund at the Eurocurrency Rate or determines that such rate is unavailable or does not accurately reflect its cost of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan pursuant to Section 3.3 for reasons not generally applicable to the other Lenders or (iv) invokes the provisions of Section 9.2, the Borrower may require and have such Lender transfer, pursuant to and in accordance with Section 12.3, all of its rights and obligations under the Credit Documents to one or more Purchasers selected by the Borrower, acceptable to the Agent and the LC Issuer, and willing to accept such assignment provided such Lender is paid upon such assignment all amounts of principal, interest and fees accrued hereunder to the date of such assignment. No such assignment shall affect (a) any liability or obligation of any Borrower or any other Lender to such replaced Lender, which accrued on or prior to the date of such assignment or (b) such replaced Lender’s rights or obligations hereunder in respect of any such liability or obligation.

3.7. Payments by Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower shall be liable under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.4 with respect to payments required in connection with Loans made to, or Obligations incurred by or on behalf of, the Borrower.

7.8 Any court, government or governmental agency shall condemn, seize or otherwise appropriate, or take custody or control (each a “Condemnation”), of all or any portion of the Property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, which, when taken together with all other Property of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, or any of them, so Condemned during the twelve-month period ending with the month in which any such Condemnation occurs, constitutes a Substantial Portion of the consolidated Property of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

ARTICLE VIII: ACCELERATION, DEFAULTING LENDERS, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES

8.1 Remedies.

(a) If any Default described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 occurs with respect to any Borrower, the Commitments of the Lenders hereunder (and the obligation of the Swing Line Lender to make Swing Line Loans and the obligation of a LC Issuer to issue Facility LCs) shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Agent, the Swing Line Lender, the LC Issuer or any Lender. If any other Default occurs and is continuing, the Required Revolving Lenders may terminate or suspend the Revolving Loan Commitments of the Lenders (and the obligation of the Swing Line Lender to make Swing Line Loans and the obligation of a LC Issuer to issue Facility LCs), the Required Lenders may terminate or suspend the other Commitments of the Lenders, or the Required Lenders may declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which each Borrower hereby expressly waives. The Agent shall notify the Borrowers of any action taken by the Required Revolving Lenders or the Required Lenders pursuant to the preceding sentence.

(b) In addition, each Borrower agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default, it shall, if requested at any time by the Agent upon instruction from the Required Revolving Lenders, pay (and, in the case of any of the Defaults specified in Section 7.6 or 7.7 with respect to any Borrower, forthwith, without any demand or the taking of any other action by the Agent or any Lender, it shall pay) to the Agent an amount in immediately available funds equal to the then aggregate amount of the LC Obligations attributable to it (in the applicable currency or currencies of the Facility LCs under which such LC Obligations arose) to be held as security therefor for the benefit of the Revolving Loan Lenders and the LC Issuer (it being understood and agreed that no Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower shall be required to make any such payments with respect to any LC Obligations incurred by the Borrower).

(c) If, within 30 days after acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations or termination of the Commitments of the relevant Lenders hereunder (and the obligation of the Swing Line Lender to make Swing Line Loans and the obligation of the LC Issuer to issue Facility LCs) as a result of any Default (other than any Default as described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 with respect to any Borrower) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, the Required Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the Agent shall, by notice to the Borrowers, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination.

8.2 Defaulting Lender. In the event that any Lender fails to fund its Revolving Loan Percentage or Term Loan Percentage, as applicable, of any Advance requested or deemed requested by any Borrower which such Lender is obligated to fund under the terms of this Agreement (the funded portion of such Advance being hereinafter referred to as a “Non Pro Rata Loan”), until the earlier of such Lender’s cure of such failure and the termination of the Commitments, the proceeds of all amounts thereafter repaid to the Agent by the applicable Borrower and otherwise required to be applied to such Lender’s share of all other Obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be advanced to the applicable Borrower by the Agent (“Cure Loans”) on behalf of such Lender to cure, in full or in part, such failure by such Lender, but shall nevertheless be deemed to have been paid to such Lender in satisfaction of such other Obligations. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary:

(i)

the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.2 shall apply only with respect to the proceeds of payments of Obligations and shall not affect the conversion or continuation of Loans pursuant to Section 2.10;

(ii)

any such Lender shall be deemed to have cured its failure to fund its Revolving Loan Percentage or Term Loan Percentage of any Advance at such time as an amount equal to such Lender’s original Revolving Loan Percentage or Term Loan Percentage, as applicable, of the requested principal portion of such Advance is fully funded to the applicable Borrower, whether made by such Lender itself or by operation of the terms of this Section 8.2, and whether or not the Non Pro Rata Loan with respect thereto has been repaid, converted or continued;

(iii)

amounts advanced to the applicable Borrower to cure, in full or in part, any such Lender’s failure to fund its Revolving Loan Percentage or Term Loan Percentage, as applicable, of any Advance shall bear interest at the rate applicable to Loans which are Floating Rate Loans, in effect from time to time, and for all other purposes of this Agreement shall be treated as if they were Floating Rate Loans;

(iv)

regardless of whether or not a Default has occurred or is continuing, and notwithstanding the instructions of the applicable Borrower as to its desired application, all repayments of principal which, in accordance with the other terms of this Agreement, would be applied to the outstanding Floating Rate Loans shall be applied first, ratably to all Floating Rate Loans constituting Non Pro Rata Loans, second, ratably to Floating Rate Loans other than those constituting Non Pro Rata Loans or Cure Loans and, third, ratably to Floating Rate Loans constituting Cure Loans (it being understood and agreed that all payments of principal made by any Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower shall be applied as set forth above only to Loans made to such Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower);

(v)

for so long as and until the earlier of any such Lender’s cure of the failure to fund its Revolving Loan Percentage or Term Loan Percentage, as applicable, of any Advance and the termination of the Commitments, the term “Required Lenders” for purposes of this Agreement shall include those applicable Lenders (excluding all Lenders whose failure to fund their respective applicable Percentages of such Advance have not

been so cured) whose Percentage represents at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the aggregate Percentages of such Lenders; and

(vi)

for so long as and until any such Lender’s failure to fund its Revolving Loan Percentage or Term Loan Percentage, as applicable, of any Advance is cured in accordance with Section 8.2(ii), (A) such Lender shall not be entitled to and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any facility fees with respect to its Commitments and (B) such Lender shall not be entitled to and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any letter of credit fees which would otherwise be payable to such Lender.

8.3 Amendments. Subject to the provisions of this Article VIII, the Required Lenders (or the Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders), the Borrower and (after it has become a party hereto) each Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Credit Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrowers hereunder or thereunder or waiving any Default hereunder; provided, that no such supplemental agreement shall, without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby:

(a) Increase (other than pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.27) or decrease the amount of, the Commitment of any Lender (except for a ratable decrease in the Commitments of all Lenders) or otherwise subject any Lender to any additional obligation; or

(b) Reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan, any Reimbursement Obligation or any fees hereunder or reduce the amount of any principal payment of the Term Loan required by Section 2.3(d); or

(c) Postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan, any Reimbursement Obligation or any fees hereunder (other than modifications to the provisions relating to Designated Prepayments (as defined in Section 2.4(d)) of the Loans and other Obligations); or

(d) Extend the Revolving Loan Termination Date or the Term Loan Final Maturity Date, or otherwise extend the term of the Commitment of any Lender; or

(e) Change the definition of Required Lenders or the percentage of the Commitments, the Outstanding Credit Exposures or the Outstanding LC Exposures, or the number of Lenders, which shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action under this Section 8.3 or any other provision of the Credit Documents; or

(f) Permit any Borrower to assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement; or

(g) Other than in connection with any transactions which shall be permitted by the terms hereof or of any other Credit Document or which shall otherwise have been

approved in writing by Required Lenders (or, if required by the other terms of this Section 8.3. all of the Lenders), release the Borrower or any Subsidiary from all or any portion of its guaranty liability under its respective Parent Guaranty or Subsidiary Guaranty; or

(h) Other than in connection with any transactions which shall be permitted by the terms hereof or of any other Credit Document or which shall otherwise have been approved in writing by Required Lenders (or, if required by the other terms of this Section 8.3, all of the Lenders), release any of the collateral pledged pursuant to the Pledge Agreements;

(i) Waive the requirements of Section 4.1(i), ; or

(j) Amend or waive any of the provisions of this Section 8.3.

No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Agent, the Swing Line Lender or the LC Issuer shall be effective without the written consent of the Agent, the Swing Line Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be. The Agent may waive payment of the fee required under Section 12.3.2 without obtaining the consent of any other party to this Agreement.

8.4. Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender or the Agent to exercise any right under the Credit Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or Unmatured Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit notwithstanding the existence of a Default or Unmatured Default or the inability of the applicable Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Loan shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Credit Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.3, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Credit Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Agent and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.

ARTICLE IX: GENERAL PROVISIONS

9.1. Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of the Borrowers contained in this Agreement shall survive delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans herein contemplated.

9.2. Governmental Regulation. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to any Borrower in violation of any limitation or prohibition provided by any applicable statute or regulation.

9.3. Taxes. Any taxes (excluding federal income taxes on the overall net income of any Lender and except as otherwise provided in Section 2.22) or other similar assessments or charges made by any governmental or revenue authority in respect of the Credit Documents shall be paid by the applicable Borrower, together with interest and penalties, if any. As of the date of this Agreement, neither the Borrower nor any Lender is aware of any such taxes, assessments or charges.

9.4. Headings. Section headings in the Credit Documents are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the provisions of the Credit Documents.

9.5. Entire Agreement. The Credit Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding among the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders and, on and after the Initial Funding Date but subject to Section 9.10 and Article XIV, supersede all prior agreements and understandings among the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders relating to the subject matter thereof including, without limitation, the Existing Credit Agreement (other than contingent indemnity obligations which are stated to survive the termination thereof).

9.6. Several Obligations; Benefits of this Agreement. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and no Lender shall be the partner or agent of any other (except to the extent to which the Agent is authorized to act as such). The failure of any Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that the parties hereto expressly agree that each Arranger shall enjoy the benefits of the provisions of Sections 9.7, 9.12 and 10.10 to the extent specifically set forth therein and shall have the right to enforce such provisions on its own behalf and in its own name to the same extent as if it were a party to this Agreement.

9.7. Expenses; Indemnification. The Borrower and each Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower shall reimburse the Agent and each Arranger for any costs, internal charges and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and time charges of attorneys for the Agent and such Arranger, which attorneys may be employees of the Agent or such Arranger) paid or incurred by the Agent or any Arranger in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, syndication, amendment, modification and administration of the Credit Documents. The Borrower and each Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower also agree to reimburse the Agent, the Swing Line Lender, any LC Issuer, the Arrangers and the Lenders for any costs, internal charges and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and time charges of attorneys for the Agent, the Swing Line Lender, any LC Issuer, the Arrangers and the Lenders, which attorneys may be employees of the Agent, the Swing Line Lender, any LC Issuer, the Arrangers or the Lenders and other advisors and professionals engaged by the Agent or the Arrangers) paid or incurred by the Agent, the Swing Line Lender, any LC Issuer, any Arranger or any Lender in connection with the collection and enforcement of the Credit Documents. The Borrower and each Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower further agree to indemnify the Agent, the Swing Line Lender, any LC Issuer, each Arranger and each Lender, its directors, officers and employees

against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, all expenses of litigation or preparation therefor whether or not the Agent, the Swing Line Lender, an LC Issuer, any Arranger or any Lender is a party thereto) (collectively “Losses”) which any of them may pay or incur arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the other Credit Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby or the direct or indirect application or proposed application of the proceeds of any Credit Extension hereunder. The obligations of each Borrower under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be obligated to indemnify any Lender, the Agent, the Swing Line Lender, any Arranger or any LC Issuer with respect to Losses which arise solely from such Lender’s, Agent’s Swing Line Lender’s, Arranger’s or LC Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Borrower shall be liable to reimburse the Agent, the Swing Line Lender, the LC Issuers, the Arrangers or any of the Lenders in respect of disputes which arise or Losses which are incurred by the Agent, the Swing Line Lender, the LC Issuers, the Arrangers or any of the Lenders which arise solely as a result of an action or failure to act on the part of the Agent, the Swing Line Lender, an LC Issuer, an Arranger or a Lender and which do not relate in any way to actions or failures to act on the part of the applicable Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries. Without otherwise limiting the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that no Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower shall be obligated to indemnify any Lender, the Agent, the Swing Line Lender, any Arranger or any LC Issuer with respect to any amounts determined to be attributable to Loans made to, or Obligations incurred by or on behalf of, the Borrower.

9.8. Numbers of Documents. All statements, notices, closing documents, and requests hereunder shall be furnished to the Agent with sufficient counterparts so that the Agent may furnish one to each of the Lenders.

9.9. Accounting. Except as provided to the contrary herein, all accounting terms used herein shall be interpreted and all accounting determinations hereunder shall be made in accordance with Agreement Accounting Principles.

9.10. Prior Agreement. The Borrower, the Lenders and the Agent agree that, upon (i) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Lenders and (ii) the satisfaction (or waiver by the aforementioned parties) of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.1, the terms and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended, superseded and restated in their entirety by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement is not intended to and shall not constitute a novation of the Existing Credit Agreement or the indebtedness created thereunder. The commitment of each Lender that is a party to the Existing Credit Agreement shall, on the Initial Funding Date, automatically be deemed amended and the only Commitments shall be those hereunder; provided, however, that the commitment of each lender under the Existing Credit Agreement that is not a Lender under this Agreement shall terminate on the Initial Funding Date.

9.11. Severability of Provisions. Any provision in any Credit Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that

jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Credit Documents are declared to be severable.

9.12. Nonliability of Lenders. The relationship between the Borrowers on the one hand and the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender, the LC Issuers and the Agent on the other hand shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither the Agent, the Arrangers, the Swing Line Lender, the LC Issuers nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Borrower or vice versa. Neither the Agent, the Arrangers, the Swing Line Lender, the LC Issuers nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrowers to review or inform any Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrowers’ business or operations.

9.13. CHOICE OF LAW. THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN THOSE CONTAINING A CONTRARY EXPRESS CHOICE OF LAW PROVISION) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS (AND NOT THE LAW OF CONFLICTS) OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS APPLICABLE TO NATIONAL BANKS.

9.14. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. THE BORROWERS, THE AGENT, THE LC ISSUER AND EACH LENDER EACH HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR ILLINOIS STATE COURT SITTING IN CHICAGO IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY CREDIT DOCUMENTS AND EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF THE AGENT, THE LC ISSUER OR ANY LENDER TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST EITHER BORROWER IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY EITHER BORROWER AGAINST THE AGENT, THE LC ISSUER OR ANY LENDER OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE AGENT, THE LC ISSUER OR ANY LENDER INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH ANY CREDIT DOCUMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

9.15. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE BORROWERS, THE AGENT, THE LC ISSUER AND EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH ANY CREDIT DOCUMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED THEREUNDER.

9.16. Agent for Service of Process. Upon becoming a party hereto, each Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Borrower as its agent for service of process

in any proceeding referred to in Section 9.14 of this Agreement and agrees that service of process in any such proceeding may be made by mailing or delivering a copy thereof to it care of Borrower at its address for notices set forth in Article XIII of this Agreement.

9.17. Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees to hold any confidential information which it may receive from any Borrower pursuant to this Agreement in confidence, except for disclosure (i) to other Lenders and their respective Affiliates, (ii) to legal counsel, accountants, and other professional advisors to that Lender or to a Transferee, (iii) to regulatory officials exercising regulatory functions over or with respect to any Lender, (iv) to any Person as required by law, regulation, or legal process, (v) to any Person in connection with any legal proceeding to which that Lender is a party, and (vi) as permitted by Section 12.4.

9.18. USA Patriot Act Notification. The following notification is provided to the Borrowers pursuant to Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act of 2001, 31 U.S.C. Section 5318:

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT.

Accordingly, when any Borrower opens an account, the Agent and the Lenders will ask for such Borrower’s name, tax identification number, business address, and other information that will allow the Agent and the Lenders to identify such Borrower. The Agent and the Lenders may also ask to see such Borrower’s legal organizational documents or other identifying documents.

ARTICLE X: THE AGENT

JPMorgan is hereby appointed Agent hereunder and under each other Credit Document, and each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Agent to act as the contractual representative of such Lender with the rights and duties as expressly set forth herein.

10.3. General Immunity. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to any Borrower, the Lenders or any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in connection herewith or therewith except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

10.4. No Responsibility for Loans, Recitals, etc. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Credit Document or any borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Credit Document, including, without limitation, any agreement by any Borrower to furnish information directly to each Lender; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article IV, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Agent; (iv) the value, sufficiency, creation, perfection or priority of any Lien in any collateral security; or (v) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of any Credit Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith. The Agent shall have no duty to disclose to the Lenders information that is not required to be furnished by a Borrower to the Agent at such time, but is voluntarily furnished by a Borrower to the Agent (either in its capacity as Agent or in its individual capacity).

10.5. Action on Instructions of Lenders. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and under any other Credit Document in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders (except to the extent Section 8.3 requires the unanimous consent of all Lenders), and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Credit Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

10.6. Employment of Agents and Counsel. The Agent may execute any of its duties as Agent hereunder and under any other Credit Document by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to the agency hereby created and its duties hereunder and under any other Credit Document.

10.7. Reliance on Documents; Counsel.

The Agent, in its individual capacity, is not obligated to remain a Lender.

10.10. Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the Arrangers or any other Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrower and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the Arrangers or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

10.11. Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Agent or, if no successor Agent has been appointed, forty-five days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its intention to resign. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent on behalf of the Lenders and the Borrowers, with the Borrower’s consent (provided such consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and provided further no such consent shall be required if a Default shall have occurred and be continuing). If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders or consented to by the Borrower (if such consent is required) within thirty days after the resigning Agent’s giving notice of its intention to resign, then the resigning Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrowers and the Lenders, a successor Agent. If the Agent has resigned and no successor Agent has been appointed, the Lenders may perform all the duties of the Agent hereunder and each Borrower shall make all payments in respect of its respective Obligations to the applicable Lender and for all other purposes shall deal directly with the Lenders. No successor Agent shall be deemed to be appointed hereunder until such successor Agent has accepted the appointment. Any such successor Agent shall be a commercial bank

having capital and retained earnings of at least $100,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning or removed Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the resignation of the Agent, the resigning Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Credit Documents. After the effectiveness of the resignation of an Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents.

10.12. Agent’s Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Agent and the Lenders, for their own respective accounts, the fees agreed to by the Borrower pursuant to that certain letter agreement dated March 31, 2005, or as otherwise agreed from time to time (it being understood and agreed that no Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower shall be liable for payment of any fees determined to be attributable to the Borrower).

10.13. Execution of Guarantees and Collateral Documents. The Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the LC Issuers hereby empower and authorize the Agent to execute and deliver to the applicable Borrower on their behalf the Parent Guaranty, Subsidiary Guaranties, Pledge Agreement(s) and all related agreements, documents or instruments as shall be necessary of appropriate to effect the purposes of the Parent Guaranty, Subsidiary Guaranties and Pledge Agreement(s).

10.14. Collateral and Guaranty Releases. The Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the LC Issuers hereby empower and authorize the Agent to execute and deliver to the applicable Borrower on their behalf any agreements, documents or instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect any releases of any entities’ liability with respect to the Parent Guaranty or any Subsidiary Guaranty or release of any collateral pledged pursuant to any Pledge Agreement in connection with any transactions which shall be permitted by the terms hereof or of any other Credit Document or which shall otherwise have been approved in writing by the Required Lenders (or, if required by the terms of Section 8.3 and Section 8.4, all of the Lenders).

10.15. No Duties Imposed on Syndication Agents, Co-Documentation Agents or Arrangers. Except as specifically provided otherwise herein with respect to the rights and benefits of the Arranger hereunder, none of the Persons identified on the cover page to this Agreement, the signature pages to this Agreement or otherwise in this Agreement as a “Syndication Agent”, “Co-Documentation Agent” or “Arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than if such Person is a Lender, those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Persons identified on the cover page to this Agreement, the signature pages to this Agreement or otherwise in this Agreement as a “Syndication Agent”, “Co-Documentation Agent” or “Arranger” shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary duty to or fiduciary relationship with any Lender. In addition to the agreement set forth in Section 10.10, each of the Lenders acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

ARTICLE XI: SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS

11.1. Setoff. In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under applicable law, if any Default or Unmatured Default occurs, any and all deposits (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by any Lender to or for the credit or account of the applicable Borrower may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender, whether or not the Obligations, or any part hereof, shall then be due (it being understood and agreed that no deposits of any Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower or Indebtedness held by or owing to any Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower shall be offset by any Lender and applied toward any Obligations incurred by or on behalf of the Borrower); it being understood that, in order to effect such setoff, any Lender may combine currencies at the then-effective buy and sell spot rate of exchange of such Lender with respect to such currencies.

11.2. Ratable Payments. If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its share of any Advance (other than payments received pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 3.4) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Loans comprising that Advance held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its ratable proportion of Loans comprising that Advance. If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to their Loans. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.

11.3. Relations Among Lenders. The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of or (except as otherwise set forth herein with respect to the Agent) authorized to act for or on behalf of any other Lender.

11.4. Application of Payments. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.2, the Agent shall, unless otherwise specified at the direction of the Required Lenders which direction shall be consistent with the last sentence of this Section 11.4, apply all payments and prepayments in respect of any Obligations and all proceeds of collateral in the following order:

(a) first, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees, expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Agent;

(b) second, to the ratable payment of Obligations in respect of any fees, expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Lenders and the LC Issuer(s);

(d) fourth, to the ratable payment or prepayment of principal outstanding on Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and Hedging Obligations;

(e) fifth, to provide required cash collateral, if required pursuant to Section 2.23 and

(f) sixth, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations.

Unless otherwise designated (which designation shall only be applicable prior to the occurrence of a Default) by the Borrower, all principal payments in respect of Loans (other than Swing Line Loans) shall be applied first, to repay outstanding Floating Rate Loans, and then to repay outstanding Eurocurrency Loans with those Eurocurrency Loans which have earlier expiring Interest Periods being repaid prior to those which have later expiring Interest Periods. The order of priority set forth in this Section 11.4 and the related provisions of this Agreement are set forth solely to determine the rights and priorities of the Agent, the Lenders, the LC Issuer(s) and other holders of Obligations as among themselves. The order of priority set forth in clauses (b) through (f) of this Section 11.4 may at any time and from time to time be changed by the Required Lenders without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by the Borrower, or any other Person. The order of priority set forth in clause (a) of this Section 11.4 may be changed only with the prior written consent of the Agent.

ARTICLE XII: BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATION

12.1. Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of the Borrower Credit Documents and the Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower Credit Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrowers, respectively, and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, except that (i) neither the Borrower nor any Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations under the Borrower Credit Documents or the Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower Credit Documents, respectively, and (ii) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 12.3. Notwithstanding clause (ii) of this Section, any Lender may at any time, without the consent of the Borrower, any Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower or the Agent, assign all or any portion of its rights under the Credit Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, however, that no such assignment shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder. The Agent may treat any Lender as the owner of the Loans made by such Lender hereunder for all purposes hereof unless and until such payee complies with Section 12.3 in the case of an assignment thereof or, in the case of any other transfer, a written notice of the transfer is filed with the Agent. Any assignee or transferee of a Loan agrees by acceptance thereof to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Credit Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of any Loan, shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of such Loan.

12.2. Participation.

12.2.1. Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any Outstanding Credit Exposure owing to such

Lender, any Loans owned by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Credit Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Credit Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the owner of all Loans made by it for all purposes under the Credit Documents, all amounts payable by each Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and each Borrower, the LC Issuer and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Credit Documents except that, for purposes of Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 3.4 hereof, the Participants shall be entitled to the same rights as if they were Lenders provided however that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 3.4 than the Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights participated.

12.2.2. Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Credit Documents, other than any such amendment, modification or waiver which requires the unanimous consent of the Lenders under Section 8.3 and Section 8.4.

12.2.3. Benefit of Setoff. Each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under the Credit Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the Credit Documents, provided that each Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each Participant. The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1, agrees to share with each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 11.2 as if each Participant were a Lender.

12.3. Assignments.

12.3.1. Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time assign to one or more banks or other entities (“Purchasers”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Credit Documents; provided, that, unless the assignment is to another Lender, an Affiliate thereof or an Approved Fund and except as the Agent and the Borrower shall otherwise agree, each such assignment shall be in the minimum principal amount of not less than the lesser of (i) $5,000,000 in the case of a Revolving Loan Commitment or $1,000,000 in the case of a Term Loan and (ii) the amount of such Lender’s Commitments or Loans as of the proposed date of such assignment, and each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the assignment shall cover the same percentage of such Lender’s commitment, Loans and interest in Facility LCs (provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a part or all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Facility and not the other Facility). Each such assignment shall be

substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto or in such other form as may be agreed to by the Agent and the parties thereto. The consent of the Borrower shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective with respect to a Purchaser which is not an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld); provided, that if (i) a Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) the assignment is pursuant to the physical settlement of credit derivative transactions, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required. The consent of the Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld) shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective; provided that no consent of the Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of the Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

12.3.2. Effect; Effective Date. Upon Purchaser’s (i) delivery to the Agent of a notice of assignment, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit “A” to Exhibit I hereto (a “Notice of Assignment”), together with any consents required by Section 12.3.1, and (ii) payment of a $3,500 fee (except in the case of an assignment from a Lender to its Affiliate or Approved Fund) to the Agent for processing such assignment, such assignment shall become effective on the effective date specified in such Notice of Assignment. On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and any other Credit Document executed by the Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Credit Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto, and no further consent or action by any Borrower, the Lenders, the LC Issuer or the Agent shall be required to release the transferor Lender with respect to the percentage of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment and Outstanding Credit Exposure assigned to such Purchaser. Upon the consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 12.3.2, the transferor Lender, the Agent and the Borrowers shall make appropriate arrangements so that, to the extent promissory notes have been issued to evidence any of the transferred Loans, replacement promissory notes are issued to the transferor Lender and a new promissory notes or, as appropriate, replacement promissory notes are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their Commitment, as adjusted pursuant to such assignment. Upon the Purchaser’s receipt of new or replacement promissory notes, the transferor Lender shall return its old promissory notes to the applicable Borrower appropriately legended.

12.3.3. Register. The Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 13.1 a copy of each assignment delivered to and accepted by it pursuant to this Section 12.3 and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time and whether such Lender is an original Lender or the assignee of another Lender pursuant to an assignment under this Section 12.3. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and each Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

12.4. Dissemination of Information. Each Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Credit Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee, or to any direct, indirect, actual or prospective counterparty (and its advisors) to any swap, derivative or securitization transaction related to the obligations under this Agreement, any and all information in such Lender’s possession concerning the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries; provided, that each Transferee, prospective Transferee and such counterparties and advisors agree to be bound by Section 9.17 of this Agreement.

12.5. Tax Treatment. If any interest in any Credit Document is transferred to any Transferee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 2.18.

ARTICLE XIII: NOTICES

13.1. Giving Notice. Except as otherwise permitted by Section 2.13 with respect to borrowing notices, all notices and other communications provided to any party hereto under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be given either in writing or by facsimile and addressed or delivered to such party at its address or facsimile number, as the case may be, set forth below its signature hereto or at such other address or facsimile number as may be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties.
