Xxxxxx Europe Limited, and each successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to the terms of Article XII of this Agreement.

“Agreement” is defined in the preamble hereto.

In no event shall any Lender’s Alternative Currency Commitment be deemed to reduce such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; it being understood that with respect to those Lenders with both a Revolving Credit Commitment and an Alternative Currency Commitment, Borrower may borrow in either or both of Dollars and Alternative Currency, up to an aggregate amount (or Dollar Equivalent Amount) not to exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment.

“Alternative Currency Letter of Credit” means a Letter of Credit denominated in Alternative Currency.

If at any time the Borrower shall have only one (1) Credit Rating, for purposes of this definition, the Applicable Margin shall be deemed to be the Applicable Margin as though the Borrower has no Credit Rating.

The Applicable Margin, from time to time, depending on Borrower’s Credit Rating shall be as follows:

Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower or applicable Qualified Borrower may repay any outstanding Committed Loan on any day which is a Business Day and any amounts so repaid may be reborrowed, up to the amount available under this Section 2.1(a) at the time of such Borrowing, until the Business Day next preceding the Revolving Credit Termination Date. Each requested Borrowing of Committed

Loans funded on any Funding Date shall be in a principal amount of at least $1,500,000 (or, with respect to an Alternative Currency Borrowing only, the Dollar Equivalent Amount of $1,500,000); provided, however, that if the Revolving Credit Availability at the time of such requested Borrowing is less than $1,500,000 (or the Dollar Equivalent Amount of $1,500,000 in the case of an Alternative Currency Borrowing), then the requested Borrowing shall be for the total amount of the Revolving Credit Availability.

(b) Notice of Committed Borrowing. When the Borrower or applicable Qualified Borrower desires to borrow under this Section 2.1, it shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Committed Borrowing, signed by it (i) no later than 12:00 noon (New York time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the proposed Funding Date, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, (ii) no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed Funding Date, in the case of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (iii) no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) at least four (4) Business Days before each Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency. Such Notice of Committed Borrowing shall specify (i) the proposed Funding Date (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the amount of the proposed Borrowing, (iii) the Revolving Credit Availability as of the date of such Notice of Borrowing, (iv) whether the proposed Borrowing will be of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, and if Eurodollar Rate Loans are requested other than in Dollars, the Alternative Currency being requested, (v) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, the requested Eurodollar Interest Period, and (vi) instructions for the disbursement of the proceeds of the proposed Borrowing. In lieu of delivering such a Notice of Committed Borrowing (except with respect to a Borrowing of Committed Loans on the Initial Funding Date), the Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower may give the Administrative Agent telephonic notice of any proposed Borrowing by the time required under this Section 2.1(b), if the Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower confirms such notice by delivery of the Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent by facsimile transmission promptly, but in no event later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the same day. Any Notice of Borrowing (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) given pursuant to this Section 2.1(b) shall be irrevocable.

(i) Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Committed Borrowing under Section 2.1(b) (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof), the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender by facsimile transmission, or other similar form of transmission, of the proposed Borrowing (which notice to the Lenders, in the case of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans, shall be at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed Funding Date for such Loans, or four (4) Business Days in the case of an Alternative Currency Loan). Each Lender shall deposit an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing requested by the Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower with the Administrative Agent at its office in New York, New York, in immediately available funds in Dollars or Alternative Currency, as applicable, not later than 12:00 noon (New York time), or, in the case of an Alternative Currency Borrowing, local time of the Principal Financial Center, on the respective Funding Date therefor. Subject to the fulfillment of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.1 or Section 6.2, as applicable, the Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such amounts received by it

available to the Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s office in New York, New York on such Funding Date (or on the date received if later than such Funding Date) and shall disburse such proceeds in accordance with the Borrower’s or the applicable Qualified Borrower’s disbursement instructions set forth in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. The failure of any Lender to deposit the amount described above with the Administrative Agent on the applicable Funding Date shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder to make its Committed Loan on such Funding Date. In the event the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.1 or 6.2 are not fulfilled as of the proposed Funding Date for any Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall promptly return, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the amount deposited by each Lender to such Lender.

(ii) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender on the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Funding Date in respect of any Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to fund its Committed Loan requested to be made on such Funding Date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has funded its Committed Loan and is depositing the proceeds thereof with the Administrative Agent on the Funding Date therefor, and the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may, but shall not be obligated to, disburse a corresponding amount to the Borrower on the applicable Funding Date. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the Loan. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing and the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing shall be as requested by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. This Section 2.1(c)(ii) does not relieve any Lender of its obligation to make its Committed Loan on any applicable Funding Date.

(d) Optional Increase in Commitments. Unless a Potential Event of Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, may request on multiple occasions, on or before the date that is six (6) months prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, that the Commitments be increased by an amount not less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) per request and not more than One Billion Dollars ($1,000,000,000) in the aggregate (such that the aggregate Commitments after such increases shall never exceed Five Billion Dollars ($5,000,000,000)); provided that for any such request (i) any Lender which is a party to this Agreement prior to such request for increase,

at its sole discretion, may elect to increase its Commitment but shall not have any obligation to so increase its Commitment, (ii) any Lender which is a party to this Agreement prior to such request for increase that so elects to increase its Commitment shall be required to increase its Alternate Currency Commitment on a pro rata basis (provided that to the extent any Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Alternative Currency Commitments was zero prior to such increase, then such Lender shall not be required to allocate any portion of such increase to an Alternative Currency Commitment), and (iii) in the event that any Lender which is a party to this Agreement prior to such request for increase does not elect to increase its Commitment, the Administrative Agent and the Syndication Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to locate additional Eligible Assignees willing to provide commitments for the requested increase, and the Borrower may also identify additional Eligible Assignees willing to provide commitments for the requested increase, provided further that the Administrative Agent shall approve any such additional Eligible Assignees, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event that Eligible Assignees commit to any such increase, the Commitments of the committed Lenders shall be increased, the Pro Rata Shares of the Lenders shall be adjusted, Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower shall make such borrowings and repayments as shall be necessary to effect the reallocation of the Committed Loans so that the Committed Loans are held by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares after giving effect to such increase, and other changes shall be made to the Loan Documents as may be necessary to reflect the aggregate amount, if any, by which Lenders have agreed to increase their respective Commitments or make new Commitments in response to the Borrower’s request for an increase in the aggregate Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.1(d), in each case without the consent of the Lenders other than those Lenders increasing their Commitments. The fees payable by Borrower upon any such increase in the Commitments shall be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and Borrower at the time of such increase. In addition, if as a result of any such increase in the Commitments, there shall be a reallocation of Euro-Dollar Rate Loans, Borrower shall pay any amounts that may be due pursuant to Section 5.2(f) hereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 2.1(d) shall constitute or be deemed to constitute an agreement by any Lender to increase its Commitment hereunder.

(New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the date of Borrowing proposed therein (or such other time or date as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall have mutually agreed and shall have notified to the Lenders not later than the date of the Money Market Quote Request for the first LIBOR Auction for which such change is to be effective) specifying:

(i) whether the proposed Borrowing is to be of Eurodollar Money Market Loans,

(ii) the proposed date of Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day,

(c) Invitation for Money Market Quotes. Promptly upon receipt of a Money Market Quote Request, the Administrative Agent shall send to the Lenders by facsimile transmission an Invitation for Money Market Quotes substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto, which shall constitute an invitation by the Borrower to each Lender to submit Money Market Quotes offering to make the Money Market Loans to which such Money Market Quote Request relates in accordance with this Section.

(d) Submission and Contents of Money Market Quotes. (i) Each Lender may submit a Money Market Quote containing an offer or offers to make Money Market Loans in response to any Invitation for Money Market Quotes. Each Money Market Quote must comply with the requirements of this subsection (d) and must be submitted to the Administrative Agent by facsimile transmission not later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the fourth (4th) Business Day prior to the proposed date of Borrowing, in the case of a LIBOR Auction (or such other time or date as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall have mutually agreed and shall have notified to the Lenders not later than the date of the Money Market Quote Request for the first LIBOR Auction for which such change is to be effective); provided that Money Market Quotes submitted by the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate of the Administrative Agent) in

the capacity of a Lender may be submitted, and may only be submitted, if the Administrative Agent or such affiliate notifies the Borrower of the terms of the offer or offers contained therein not later than one hour prior to the deadline for the other Lenders. Any Money Market Quote so made shall be irrevocable except with the written consent of the Administrative Agent given on the instructions of the Borrower. All or any portion of Money Market Loans to be funded pursuant to a Money Market Quote may, as provided in Section 14.1(f), be funded by a Lender’s Designated Bank. A Lender making a Money Market Quote may, but shall not be required to, specify in its Money Market Quote whether all or any portion of the related Money Market Loans are intended to be funded by such Lender’s Designated Bank, as provided in Section 14.1(f).

(ii) Each Money Market Quote shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit J hereto and shall in any case specify:

(A) the proposed date of Borrowing,

(B) the principal amount of the Money Market Loan for which each such offer is being made, which principal amount (w) may be greater than or less than the Revolving Credit Commitment of the quoting Lender, (x) must be $5,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000, (y) may not exceed the principal amount of Money Market Loans for which offers were requested and (z) may be subject to an aggregate limitation as to the principal amount of Money Market Loans for which offers being made by such quoting Lender may be accepted,

(C) either (1) the margin above or below the applicable Eurodollar Rate (each, a “Money Market Margin”) offered for each such Money Market Loan, expressed as a percentage (specified to the nearest 1/10,000th of 1%) to be added to or subtracted from such base rate, or (2) a flat rate of interest (each, a “Money Market Rate”) offered for each Money Market Loan, and

(D) the identity of the quoting Lender.

A Money Market Quote may set forth up to five separate offers by the quoting Lender with respect to each Eurodollar Interest Period specified in the related Invitation for Money Market Quotes.

(iii) Any Money Market Quote shall be disregarded if it:

(A) is not substantially in conformity with Exhibit J hereto or does not specify all of the information required by subsection (d)(ii) above;

(B) proposes terms other than or in addition to those set forth in the applicable Invitation for Money Market Quotes; or

(e) Notice to Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of the terms (x) of any Money Market Quote submitted by a Lender that is in accordance with subsection (d) and (y) of any Money Market Quote that amends, modifies or is otherwise inconsistent with a previous Money Market Quote submitted by such Lender with respect to the same Money Market Quote Request. Any such subsequent Money Market Quote shall be disregarded by the Administrative Agent unless such subsequent Money Market Quote is submitted solely to correct a manifest error in such former Money Market Quote. The Administrative Agent’s notice to the Borrower shall specify (A) the aggregate principal amount of Money Market Loans for which offers have been received for each Interest Period specified in the related Money Market Quote Request, (B) the principal amounts and Money Market Margin or Money Market Rate, as the case may be, so offered and (C) if applicable, limitations on the aggregate principal amount of Money Market Loans for which offers in any single Money Market Quote may be accepted.

(f) Acceptance and Notice by Borrower. Not later than 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the proposed date of Borrowing (or such other time or date as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall have mutually agreed and shall have notified to the Lenders not later than the date of the Money Market Quote Request for the first LIBOR Auction for which such change is to be effective), the Borrower shall telephonically notify the Administrative Agent of its acceptance or non-acceptance of the offers so notified to it pursuant to subsection (e), and the Borrower shall confirm such telephonic notification in writing not later than the third Business Day prior to the proposed date of Borrowing. In the case of acceptance, such notice (a “Notice of Money Market Borrowing”), whether telephonic or in writing, shall specify the aggregate principal amount of offers for each Eurodollar Interest Period that are accepted. The Borrower may accept any Money Market Quote in whole or in part; provided that:

(i) the aggregate principal amount of each Money Market Borrowing may not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the related Money Market Quote Request;

(ii) the principal amount of each Money Market Borrowing must be $5,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000;

(iii) acceptance of offers may only be made on the basis of ascending Money Market Quotes; and

(iv) the Borrower may not accept any offer that is described in subsection (d)(iii) or that otherwise fails to comply with the requirements of this Agreement.

(g) Allocation by Administrative Agent. If offers are made by two or more Lenders with the same Money Market Margins and/or Money Market Rates, for a greater aggregate principal amount than the amount in respect of which such offers are accepted for the related Eurodollar Interest Period, the principal amount of Money Market Loans in respect of which such offers are accepted shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among such Lenders as nearly as possible (in multiples of $1,000,000, as the Administrative Agent may deem

appropriate) in proportion to the aggregate principal amounts of such offers. Determinations by the Administrative Agent of the amounts of Money Market Loans shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(h) Notification by Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of the Borrower’s Notice of Money Market Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.2(f) hereof, the Administrative Agent shall, on the date such Notice of Money Market Borrowing is received by the Administrative Agent, notify each Lender of the principal amount of the Money Market Borrowing accepted by the Borrower and of such Lender’s share (if any) of such Money Market Borrowing and such Notice of Money Market Borrowing shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower. A Lender who is notified that it has been selected to make a Money Market Loan may designate its Designated Bank (if any) to fund such Money Market Loan on its behalf, as described in Section 14.1(f). Any Designated Bank which funds a Money Market Loan shall on and after the time of such funding become the obligee under such Money Market Loan and be entitled to receive payment thereof when due. No Lender shall be relieved of its obligation to fund a Money Market Loan, and no Designated Bank shall assume such obligation, prior to the time the applicable Money Market Loan is funded.

2.3 Use of Proceeds of Loans and Letters of Credit. The proceeds of the Loans and the Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower hereunder may be used for the purposes of:

(a) acquisition of Projects, portfolios of Projects, or interests in Projects, similar to and consistent with the types of Projects owned and/or operated by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries on the Closing Date;

2.4 Revolving Credit Termination Date; Maturity of Money Market Loans. (a) The Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate, and all outstanding Revolving Credit Obligations shall be paid in full (or, in the case of unmatured Letter of Credit Obligations, provision for payment in cash shall be made to the satisfaction of the Lenders actually issuing

Letters of Credit and the Requisite Lenders), on the Revolving Credit Termination Date. Each Lender’s obligation to make Loans shall terminate on the Business Day next preceding the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

(b) Each Money Market Loan included in any Money Market Borrowing shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable, together with the accrued interest thereon, on the earlier of the last day of the Eurodollar Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing and the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

2.5 Extension Option.

(a) The Borrower shall have one option (the “Extension Option”) to extend the maturity of the Revolving Credit Commitments for a period of one (1) year. Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (b) below, Borrower may exercise the Extension Option by delivering written notice (the “Extension Notice”), together with the payment of the Extension Fee for the account of the Lenders (based on their respective Pro Rata Shares), to the Administrative Agent on or before October 1, 2015, but in no event prior to May 1, 2015, stating that Borrower will extend the Revolving Credit Termination Date for one (1) year. Borrower’s delivery of the Extension Notice shall be irrevocable. In no event shall the Revolving Credit Termination Date occur later than October 30, 2016.

(b) The Borrower’s right to exercise the Extension Option shall be subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing either on the date Borrower delivers the Extension Notice to the Administrative Agent or on the date that this Agreement would otherwise have terminated, (ii) the Borrower shall be in full compliance with all covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement as of the date Borrower delivers the Extension Notice to the Agent and on the date that this Agreement would otherwise have terminated, and (iii) the Borrower shall have paid the Extension Fee to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders (based on their respective Pro Rata Shares).

2.6 Maximum Credit Facility. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the aggregate principal Revolving Credit Obligations exceed the Maximum Revolving Credit Amount.

2.7 Authorized Agents. On the Closing Date and from time to time thereafter, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the names of the employees and agents authorized to request Loans and Letters of Credit and to request a conversion/continuation of any Loan and containing a specimen signature of each such employee or agent. The employees and agents so authorized shall also be authorized to act for the Borrower in respect of all other matters relating to the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Co-Agents, the Lenders and any Issuing Bank shall be entitled to rely conclusively on such employee’s or agent’s authority to request such Loan or Letter of Credit or such conversion/continuation until the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers receive written notice to the contrary. None of the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers shall have any duty to verify the authenticity of the signature appearing on any written Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation or any other document, and, with respect to an oral request for such

a Loan or Letter of Credit or such conversion/continuation, the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers shall have no duty to verify the identity of any person representing himself or herself as one of the employees or agents authorized to make such request or otherwise to act on behalf of the Borrower. None of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or the Lenders shall incur any liability to the Borrower or any other Person in acting upon any telephonic or facsimile notice referred to above which the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers believes to have been given by a person duly authorized to act on behalf of the Borrower and the Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the Administrative Agent, each Arranger and each other Lender from any loss or expense the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or the Lenders might incur in acting in good faith as provided in this Section 2.7.

2.8 Special Provisions Regarding Alternative Currency Loans.

(a) Upon the occurrence of an Automatic Sharing Event, automatically (and without the taking of any action), or upon the occurrence of an Elective Sharing Event, upon three (3) Business Days’ notice from the applicable Lender to the Administrative Agent and Borrower, (x) all then outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans denominated in the Alternative Currency (in the case of an Elective Sharing Event, however, only with respect to all such Loans of the applicable Lender) shall be automatically converted into Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent Amount of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans on the date such Sharing Event first occurred, which Loans denominated in Dollars (i) shall thereafter continue to be deemed to be Base Rate Loans and (ii) unless the Sharing Event resulted solely from a termination of the Commitments, shall be immediately due and payable on the date such Sharing Event has occurred), and (y) unless the Sharing Event resulted solely from a termination of the Commitments, all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts owing with respect to such Loans (in the case of an Elective Sharing Event, however, only with respect to all such Loans of the applicable Lender) shall be immediately due and payable in Dollars, such accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts having been converted into a Dollar Equivalent Amount.

(b) Upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event, and after giving effect to any automatic or elective conversion pursuant to Section 2.8(a), each Lender in the case of an Automatic Sharing Event or each applicable Lender in the case of an Elective Sharing Event shall (and hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to) purchase and sell (in each case in Dollars) undivided participating interests in all such Loans outstanding to Borrower in such amounts so that each Lender shall have a share of such outstanding Loans then owing by Borrower equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Commitments (although if because of fluctuations in currency exchange rates any Lender would be required to purchase such participations after giving effect to which such Lender’s allocated share of all Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations (including participations therein purchased pursuant to this Section 2.8) would exceed the Dollar Equivalent Amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, then such participations shall be in an amount after giving effect to which such Lender’s allocated share of all Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations (including participations therein purchased pursuant to this Section 2.8) would equal the Dollar Equivalent Amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment). Upon any such occurrence, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender and shall specify the amount of Dollars required from such Lender in order to effect the purchases and sales by the various Lenders of participating interests in the amounts required above (together with accrued

interest with respect to the period for the last interest payment date through the date of the Sharing Event plus any additional amounts payable by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.8 in respect of such accrued but unpaid interest); provided, in the event that a Sharing Event shall have occurred, each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, automatically and without request, such participating interests. Promptly upon receipt of such request, each Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (in immediately available funds in Dollars) the net amounts as specified by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver the amounts so received to the various Lenders in such amounts as are needed to effect the purchases and sales of participations as provided above. Promptly following receipt thereof, each Lender which has sold participations in any of its Loans (through the Administrative Agent) will deliver to each Lender (through the Administrative Agent) which has so purchased a participating interest a participation certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount. It is understood that the amount of funds delivered by each Lender shall be calculated on a net basis, giving effect to both the sales and purchases of participations by the various Lenders as required above.

(c) Upon the occurrence of an Automatic Sharing Event or an Elective Sharing Event with respect to the applicable electing Lenders (i) no further Alternative Currency Loans shall be made, (ii) all amounts from time to time accruing with respect to, and all amounts from time to time payable on account of, any outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans initially denominated in the Alternative Currency (including, without limitation, any interest and other amounts which were accrued but unpaid on the date of such purchase) shall be payable in Dollars as if such Eurodollar Rate Loans had originally been made in Dollars and shall be distributed by the relevant Lenders (or their Affiliates) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders which made such Loans or are participating therein and (iii) the Commitments of the Lenders shall be automatically terminated. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, the failure of any Lender to purchase its participating interest in any Loans upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to purchase its participating interests in a timely manner, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to purchase the participating interest to be purchased by such other Lender on any date.

(d) If any amount required to be paid by any Lender pursuant to Section 2.8(b) is not paid to the Administrative Agent within one (1) Business Day following the date upon which such Lender receives notice from the Administrative Agent of the amount of its participations required to be purchased pursuant to said Section 2.8(b), such Lender shall also pay to the Administrative Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) the amount so required to be paid by such Lender for the purchase of its participations times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Rate during the period from and including the date of request for payment to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Administrative Agent times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapsed during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any Lender pursuant to Section 2.8(b) is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days following the date upon which such Lender receives notice from the Administrative Agent as to the amount of participations required to be purchased by it, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover from such Lender on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such request date at the rate per annum applicable to Base

Rate Loans hereunder. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts payable by any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Lenders; provided that, if the Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion) has elected to fund on behalf of such Lender the amounts owing to such Lenders, then the amounts shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for its own account.

(e) Whenever, at any time after the relevant Lenders have received from any Lenders purchases of participations in any Loans pursuant to this Section 2.8, the Lenders receive any payment on account thereof, such Lenders will distribute to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the various Lenders participating therein, such Lenders’ participating interests in such amounts (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such participations were outstanding) in like funds as received; provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by any Lenders are required to be returned, the Lenders who received previous distributions in respect of their participating interests therein will return to the respective Lenders any portion thereof previously so distributed to them in like funds as such payment is required to be returned by the respective Lenders.

(f) Each Lender’s obligation to purchase participating interests pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance including, without limitation, (a) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against any other Lender, Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (b) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default, (c) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower or any other Person, (d) any breach of this Agreement by the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any Lender or any other Person, or (e) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, upon any purchase of participations as required above, each Lender which has purchased such participations shall be entitled to receive from Borrower any increased costs and indemnities directly from Borrower to the same extent as if it were the direct Lender as opposed to a participant therein. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event and after giving effect to the requirements of this Section 2.8, increased Taxes may be owing by the Borrower pursuant to Section 13.1, which Taxes shall be paid (to the extent provided in Section 13.1) by Borrower, without any claim that the increased Taxes are not payable because same resulted from the participations effected as otherwise required by this Section 2.8.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, subject to the reasonable approval of the Administrative Agent, from time to time, the Borrower may request that the definition of “Alternative Currencies” be amended to include one or more additional alternative currencies specified at such time by the Borrower. If less than all the Lenders holding Alternative Currency Commitments shall agree to such proposed amendment, then any such amendment shall be subject to a sufficient numbers of such Lenders agreeing to fund in such additional alternative currency or currencies as the Administrative

Agent shall deem to be practicable and shall include any such other changes as the Administrative Agent and such Lenders shall deem to be reasonably necessary to effectuate such amendment. Nothing in this Section 2.8(h) shall constitute or be deemed to constitute an agreement by any Lender to fund any additional alternative currency even if such an amendment shall be entered into.

2.9 Swingline Loan Subfacility.

(a) Swingline Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.9, the Swingline Lender, in its individual capacity, agrees to make certain revolving credit loans to the Borrower or any Qualified Borrower (each a “Swingline Loan” and, collectively, the “Swingline Loans”) from time to time during the term hereof; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the lesser of (i) ten percent (10%) of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments outstanding from time to time, and (ii) the Revolving Credit Availability (the “Swingline Commitment”). Subject to the limitations set forth herein, any amounts repaid in respect of Swingline Loans may be reborrowed.

(b) Swingline Borrowings.

(i) Notice of Borrowing. With respect to any Swingline Borrowing, the Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower shall give the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent notice in writing which shall be received by the Swingline Lender and Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the proposed date of such Swingline Borrowing (and confirmed by telephone by such time), specifying (A) that a Swingline Borrowing is being requested, (B) the amount of such Swingline Borrowing, (C) the proposed date of such Swingline Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day and (D) that no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing both before and after giving effect to such Swingline Borrowing. Such notice shall be irrevocable.

(ii) Minimum Amounts. Each Swingline Borrowing shall be in a minimum principal amount of $3,000,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

(iii) Repayment of Swingline Loans. Each Swingline Loan shall be due and payable on the earliest of (A) 10 days from and including the date of the applicable Swingline Borrowing, (B) the date of the next Committed Borrowing or (C) the Maturity Date. If, and to the extent, any Swingline Loans shall be outstanding on the date of any Committed Borrowing, such Swingline Loans shall first be repaid from the proceeds of such Committed Borrowing prior to the disbursement of the same to the Borrower or the Qualified Borrower, as applicable. If, and to the extent, a Committed Borrowing is not requested prior to the Maturity Date or the end of the 10 day period after a Swingline Borrowing, or unless the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the fourth (4th)

Business Day after the Swingline Borrowing that the Borrower intends to reimburse the Swingline Bank for the amount of such Swingline Borrowing with funds other than proceeds of the Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Committed Borrowing comprised entirely of Base Rate Loans in the amount of the applicable Swingline Loan then outstanding, the proceeds of which shall be used to repay such Swingline Loan to the Swingline Lender. In addition, if (x) the Borrower does not repay the Swingline Loan on or prior to the end of such 10 day period, or (y) a Potential Event of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred during such 10 day period, the Swingline Lender may, at any time, in its sole discretion, by written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, demand repayment of its Swingline Loans by way of a Committed Borrowing, in which case the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Committed Borrowing comprised entirely of Base Rate Loans in the amount of such Swingline Loans then outstanding, the proceeds of which shall be used to repay such Swingline Loans to the Swingline Lender. Any Committed Borrowing which is deemed requested by the Borrower in accordance with this Section 2.9(b)(iii) is hereinafter referred to as a “Mandatory Borrowing”. Each Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make Committed Loans promptly upon receipt of notice from the Swingline Lender of any such deemed request for a Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentences and on the date such notice is received by such Lender (or the next Business Day if such notice is received after 12:00 noon (New York City time)) notwithstanding (I) that the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount of Committed Borrowings otherwise required hereunder, (II) whether any conditions specified in Section 6.2 are then satisfied, (III) whether a Potential Event of Default or an Event of Default then exists, (IV) failure of any such deemed request for a Committed Borrowing to be made by the time otherwise required in Section 2.1, (V) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing (provided that such date must be a Business Day), or (VI) any termination of the Commitments immediately prior to such Mandatory Borrowing or contemporaneously therewith; provided, however, that no Lender shall be obligated to make Committed Loans in respect of a Mandatory Borrowing if a Potential Event of Default or an Event of Default then exists and the applicable Swingline Loan was made by the Swingline Lender without receipt of a written Notice of Borrowing in the form specified in subclause (i) above or after the Administrative Agent has delivered a notice of Potential Event of Default or Event of Default which has not been rescinded.

(iv) Purchase of Participations. In the event that any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Borrower), then each Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payment received from the Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Swingline Lender such participations in the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause each such Lender to share in such Swingline Loans ratably

based upon its Pro Rata Share (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Commitments pursuant hereto), provided that (A) all interest payable on the Swingline Loans with respect to any participation shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until but excluding the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, and (B) in the event of a delay between the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred and the time any purchase of a participation pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing Lender shall be required to pay to the Swingline Lender interest on the principal amount of such participation for each day from and including the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such participation, at the rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate, for the two (2) Business Days after the date the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, and thereafter at a rate equal to the Base Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be obligated to purchase a participation in any Swingline Loan if a Potential Event of Default or an Event of Default then exists and such Swingline Loan was made by the Swingline Lender without receipt of a written Notice of Borrowing in the form specified in subclause (i) above or after the Administrative Agent has delivered a notice of Potential Event of Default or Event of Default which has not been rescinded.

(c) Interest Rate. Each Swingline Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Swingline Loan is made until the date it is repaid, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Euro-Dollar Rate Loans for such day.

2.10 Qualified Borrowers.

(a) The Borrower may, at any time or from time to time, upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ notice, designate one or more Qualified Borrowers to be added to this Agreement by notifying the Administrative Agent thereof, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender. Borrower shall, or shall cause such Qualified Borrower to, deliver all documents required to be delivered pursuant to Sections 6.1 and 6.2(e) with respect to a Qualified Borrower, including, without limitation, copies of all Organizational Documents, good standing certificates (if applicable), and resolutions, each of which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Following the giving of any notice pursuant to this Section 2.10, if the designation of such Qualified Borrower obligates the Administrative Agent or any Lender to comply with “know your customer” or similar identification procedures in circumstances where the necessary information is not already available to it, the Borrower shall, promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, supply such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in order for the Administrative Agent or such Lender to carry out and be satisfied it has complied with the results of all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations.

(b) If the Borrower shall designate as a Qualified Borrower hereunder any entity not organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, any Lender may,

with notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, fulfill its Commitment by causing an Affiliate of such Lender to act as the Bank in respect of such Qualified Borrower (and such Lender shall, to the extent of Loans made to, and participations in Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Qualified Borrower, be deemed for all purposes hereof to have pro tanto assigned such Loans and participations to such Affiliate in compliance with the provisions of Section 14.16 (but only for so long as such Loans or Letters of Credit shall be outstanding) except that unless such an Affiliate is a Eligible Assignee, nothing herein shall be deemed to have relieved such Lender from its obligations under its Commitments).

ARTICLE III

LETTERS OF CREDIT

3.1 Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 3.1(c)(ii), the Administrative Agent and Bank of America, N.A. each hereby severally agrees to issue for the account of the Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower one or more Letters of Credit or, with respect to the Administrative Agent only, Alternative Currency Letters of Credit (the Administrative Agent and Bank of America, N.A., together with any other Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender designated, with such Lender’s consent, by the Borrower, an “Issuing Bank”), subject to the following provisions:

(d) Reimbursement Obligations; Duties of Issuing Banks and other Lenders.

(i) Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement, if an Issuing Bank shall make any disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Bank in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation by paying to the Issuing Bank an amount equal to such Reimbursement Obligation not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower receives notice of such disbursement, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time (such date, the “Reimbursement Date”), provided that the Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.1 that such payment be financed with a Base Rate Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s or the applicable Qualified Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Base Rate Borrowing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the case of Alternative Currency Letters of Credit, the Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower shall reimburse any applicable drawing thereunder in the Alternative Currency in which such Alternative Letter of Credit was denominated; provided, however, that if (A) any such drawing is made at a time when an Event of Default exists or a Sharing Event shall have occurred or (B) the Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower shall not have notified the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, at least two (2) Business Days immediately prior to such drawing that the Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower intends to reimburse the Issuing Bank in the applicable Alternative Currency, then, in either such case, such reimbursement shall instead be made by payment in Dollars of the Dollar Equivalent amount of such drawing and in immediately available funds.

(ii) The Issuing Bank shall give the Administrative Agent written notice, or telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing, of all drawings under a Letter of Credit and/or Alternative Currency Letter of Credit and the payment (or the failure to pay when due) by the Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower on account of a Reimbursement Obligation (which

notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit by telegram, facsimile transmission or similar transmission to each Lender).

(iii) No action taken or omitted in good faith by an Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit and/or Alternative Currency Letter of Credit shall put such Issuing Bank under any resulting liability to any Lender, the Borrower or Qualified Borrower or, so long as it is not issued in violation of Section 3.1(a), relieve any Lender of its obligations hereunder to such Issuing Bank. Solely as between the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders, in determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit and/or Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to the other Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under a respective Letter of Credit and/or Alternative Currency Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear on their face to comply with the requirements of such Letter of Credit and/or Alternative Currency Letter of Credit.

(e) Participations. (i) Immediately upon issuance by an Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit and/or Alternative Currency Letter of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 3.1, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from that Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Letter of Credit and/or Alternative Currency Letter of Credit to the extent of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share, including, without limitation, all obligations of the Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower with respect thereto (other than amounts owing to the Issuing Bank under Section 3.1(g)) and any security therefor and guaranty pertaining thereto.

(ii) If any Issuing Bank makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and/or Alternative Currency Letter of Credit and the Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower does not repay such amount to the Issuing Bank on the Reimbursement Date, the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each other Lender, and each Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank, in immediately available funds, the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such payment (net of that portion of such payment, if any, made by such Issuing Bank in its capacity as an issuer of a Letter of Credit and/or Alternative Currency Letter of Credit), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Bank such amounts received by it, and any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for such Issuing Bank’s account, pursuant to this Section 3.1(e). If a Lender does not make its Pro Rata Share of the amount of such payment available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank, forthwith on demand, such amount together with interest thereon at the greater of the Base Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. The failure of any Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank its Pro Rata Share of any such payment shall neither relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative

Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any payment on the date such payment is to be made nor increase the obligation of any other Lender to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(iii) Whenever an Issuing Bank receives a payment on account of a Reimbursement Obligation, including any interest thereon, as to which the Administrative Agent has previously received payments from any other Lender for the account of such Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 3.1(e), such Issuing Bank shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each other Lender an amount equal to such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. Each such payment shall be made by such reimbursed Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, on the Business Day on which such Person receives the funds paid to such Person pursuant to the preceding sentence, if received prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on such Business Day, and otherwise on the next succeeding Business Day.

(iv) Upon the written request of any Lender, the Issuing Banks shall furnish such requesting Lender copies of any Letter of Credit and/or Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement, and related amendment to which such Issuing Bank is party and such other documentation as reasonably may be requested by the requesting Lender.

(v) The obligations of a Lender to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Issuing Bank with respect to a Letter of Credit and/or Alternative Currency Letter of Credit shall be irrevocable, shall not be subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever except willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Issuing Bank, and shall be honored in accordance with this Article III (irrespective of the satisfaction of the conditions described in Sections 6.1 and 6.2, as applicable) under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:

(A) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;

(B) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower or any Qualified Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit and/or Alternative Currency Letter of Credit or any transferee of a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit and/or Alternative Currency Letter of Credit(or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit and/or Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transactions between the account party and beneficiary named in any Letter of Credit and/or Alternative Currency Letter of Credit);

(C) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under the Letter of Credit and/or Alternative Currency Letter of Credit

having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(D) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents;

(E) any failure by that Issuing Bank to make any reports required pursuant to Section 3.1(h) or the inaccuracy of any such report; or

(F) the occurrence of any Event of Default or Potential Event of Default.

(f) Payment of Reimbursement Obligations. (i) The Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower unconditionally agrees to pay to each Issuing Bank, in Dollars or Alternative Currency, as applicable, the amount of all Reimbursement Obligations, interest and other amounts payable to such Issuing Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit and/or Alternative Currency Letter of Credit when such amounts are due and payable, irrespective of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against any Issuing Bank or any other Person.

(ii) In the event any payment by the Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower received by an Issuing Bank with respect to a Letter of Credit and/or Alternative Currency Letter of Credit and distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders on account of their participations is thereafter set aside, avoided or recovered from such Issuing Bank in connection with any receivership, liquidation or bankruptcy proceeding, each Lender which received such distribution shall, upon demand by such Issuing Bank, contribute such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount set aside, avoided or recovered together with interest at the rate required to be paid by such Issuing Bank upon the amount required to be repaid by it.

(g) Letter of Credit Fee Charges. In connection with each Letter of Credit and/or Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, Borrower and the applicable Qualified Borrower each hereby covenants to pay to the Administrative Agent the following fees each payable quarterly in arrears (on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter following the issuance of each Letter of Credit and/or Alternative Currency Letter of Credit): (1) a fee (in Dollars or the applicable Alternative Currency) for the account of the Lenders, computed daily on the amount of the Letter of Credit or the Alternative Currency Letter of Credit issued and outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the “Banks’ L/C Fee Rate” (as hereinafter defined) and (2) a fee (in Dollars or the applicable Alternative Currency), for the Issuing Bank’s own account, computed daily on the amount of the Letter of Credit and/or Alternative Currency Letter of Credit issued and outstanding at a rate per annum equal to 0.125%. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Banks’ L/C Fee Rate” shall mean, at any time, a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Loans less 0.125% per annum. It is understood and agreed that the last installment of the fees provided for in this paragraph (g) with respect to any particular Letter of Credit shall be due and payable on the first day of the fiscal quarter following the return, undrawn, or cancellation of such Letter of Credit and/or Alternative Currency Letter of Credit.

In addition, the Borrower shall pay to each Issuing Bank, solely for its own account, the standard charges assessed by such Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, administration, amendment and payment or cancellation of Letters of Credit and/or Alternative Currency Letter of Credit and such compensation in respect of such Letters of Credit and/or Alternative Currency Letters of Credit for the Borrower’s account as may be agreed upon by the Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower and such Issuing Bank from time to time.

(h) Letter of Credit Reporting Requirements. Each Issuing Bank shall, no later than the tenth (10th) Business Day following the last day of each calendar month, provide to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, separate schedules for Commercial Letters of Credit and/or Alternative Currency Letters of Credit and Standby Letters of Credit and/or Alternative Currency Letters of Credit issued as Letters of Credit and/or Alternative Currency Letters of Credit, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, setting forth the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding to it at the end of each month and, to the extent not otherwise provided in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1(c)(ii), any information requested by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower relating to the date of issue, account party, amount, expiration date and reference number of each Letter of Credit and/or Alternative Currency Letter of Credit issued by it.

(i) Indemnification; Exoneration. (i) In addition to all other amounts payable to an Issuing Bank, the Borrower and the applicable Qualified Borrower each, jointly and severally, hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and save the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, and each other Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, penalties, damages, losses (other than loss of profits), costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses but excluding taxes) which the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, or such other Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (A) the issuance of any Letter of Credit and/or Alternative Currency Letter of Credit other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, or (B) the failure of the Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under such Letter of Credit and/or Alternative Currency Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or Governmental Authority.

(ii) As between the Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower on the one hand and the Lenders on the other hand, the Borrower and the applicable Qualified Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of the Letters of Credit and/or Alternative Currency Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, subject to the provisions of the Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreements, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall not be responsible for: (A) the form, validity, legality, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of the Letters of Credit, and/or Alternative Currency Letters of Credit even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (B) the validity, legality or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or

3.2 Obligations Several. The obligations of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, and each other Lender under this Article III are several and not joint, and no Issuing Bank or other Lender shall be responsible for the obligation to issue Letters of Credit and/or Alternative Currency Letters of Credit or participation obligation hereunder, respectively, of any other Issuing Bank or other Lender.

The Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower shall give at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice, in the case of Base Rate Loans, and at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, to the Administrative Agent (which the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each Lender) of any prepayment in the entirety to be made prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, which notice of prepayment shall specify the date (which shall be a Business Day) of prepayment. When notice of prepayment is delivered as provided herein, the outstanding principal amount of the Loans on the prepayment date specified in the notice shall become due and payable on such prepayment date. Each voluntary partial prepayment of the Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 (or the remaining balance of the Commitments, if less), except in the case of Swingline Loans, which shall be in the minimum amount of $100,000, and integral multiples of $100,000. Eurodollar Rate Loans and Money Market Loans may be prepaid in part or in their entirety only upon payment of the amounts described in Section 5.2(f).

(b) Voluntary Reductions In Revolving Credit Commitments. The Borrower may, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (which the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each Lender), at any time and from time to time, terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part the Revolving Credit Commitments and/or the Alternative Currency Commitments, provided that the Borrower shall have made whatever payment may be required to reduce the Revolving Credit Obligations to an amount less than or equal to the Revolving Credit Commitments as reduced or terminated, which amount shall become due and payable on the date specified in such notice. Any partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments and/or the Alternative Currency Commitments shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $25,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount, and shall reduce the Revolving Credit Commitment and/or the Alternative Currency Commitment of each Lender proportionately in accordance with its Pro Rata Share.

(c) No Penalty. The prepayments and payments in respect of reductions and terminations described in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 4.1 may be made without premium or penalty (except as provided in Section 5.2(f)).

(d) Mandatory Prepayment. If at any time from and after the Closing Date: (i) either the Borrower or the Company merges or consolidates with another Person and either (x) the Borrower or the Company, as the case may be, is not the surviving entity, or (y) a majority of the board of directors of the Company, and the majority of its senior management, immediately prior to the merger do not continue as directors of the surviving entity, or do not continue to be employed as senior management of the surviving entity, or (ii) the Borrower or any Consolidated Business sells, transfers, assigns or conveys assets, the book value of which (computed in accordance with GAAP but without deduction for depreciation), in the aggregate of all such sales, transfers, assignments, foreclosures, or conveyances exceeds 30% of the Capitalization Value, or (iii) the portion of Capitalization Value attributable to the aggregate Limited Minority Holdings of the Borrower and its Consolidated Businesses exceed 20% of Capitalization Value, or (iv) the

The Borrower shall immediately make such prepayment together with interest accrued to the date of the prepayment on the principal amount prepaid and shall return or cause to be returned all Letters of Credit to the applicable Lender. In the event that any Letter of Credit shall not be returned, then the provisions of Section 3.4 shall apply and the Borrower shall comply with the same. In connection with the prepayment of any Loan prior to the maturity thereof, the Borrower shall also pay any applicable expenses pursuant to Section 5.2(f). Each such prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the Lenders. Amounts prepaid pursuant to this Section 4.1(d) may not be reborrowed.

(i) Subject to the provisions of Section 4.2(b)(v), all payments of principal and interest in respect of outstanding Loans, all payments in respect of Reimbursement Obligations, all payments of fees and all other payments in respect of any other Obligations, shall be allocated among such of the Lenders as are entitled thereto, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares or otherwise as provided herein. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.2(b)(ii), all such payments and any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent from or for the benefit of the Borrower or any Qualified Borrower shall be applied in the following order:

(A) to pay principal of and interest on any portion of the Loans which the Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender other than itself for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower or such Qualified Borrower,

(B) to pay all other Obligations then due and payable and

Unless otherwise designated by the Borrower, all principal payments in respect of Committed Loans shall be applied first, to repay outstanding Base Rate Loans, and then to repay outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans, with those Eurodollar Rate Loans which have earlier expiring Interest Periods being repaid prior to those which have later expiring Interest Periods.

(ii) After the occurrence of an Event of Default and while the same is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall apply all payments in respect of any Obligations and any amounts received as a result of the exercise of remedies pursuant to Sections 11.12 and 14.5, in the following order:

(A) first, to pay principal of and interest on any portion of the Loans which the Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender other than itself for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower or any Qualified Borrower;

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

(C) third, to pay principal of and interest on Letter of Credit Obligations (or, to the extent such Obligations are contingent, deposited with the Administrative Agent to provide cash collateral in respect of such Obligations);

(D) fourth, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees, expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Lenders and the Co-Agents;

(E) fifth, to pay interest due in respect of Loans;

(F) sixth, to the ratable payment or prepayment of principal outstanding on Loans; and

(G) seventh, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations.

The order of priority set forth in this Section 4.2(b)(ii) and the related provisions of this Agreement are set forth solely to determine the rights and priorities of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the other Lenders and other Holders as among themselves. The order of priority set forth in clauses (C) through (G) of this Section 4.2(b)(ii) may at any time and from time to time be changed by the Requisite Lenders without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by the Borrower, any Holder which is not a Lender, or any other Person. The order of priority set forth in clauses (A) and (B) of this Section 4.2(b)(ii) may be changed only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

(iii) The Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion subject only to the terms of this Section 4.2(b)(iii), may pay from the proceeds of Loans made to the Borrower hereunder, whether made following a request by the Borrower or any Qualified Borrower pursuant to Sections 2.1 or 2.2 or a deemed request as provided in this Section 4.2(b)(iii), all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder, including, without limitation, amounts payable with respect to payments of principal, interest, Reimbursement Obligations and fees and all reimbursements for expenses pursuant to Section 14.2. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Lenders to make Loans, which Loans shall be Base Rate Loans, in each case, upon notice from the Administrative Agent as described in the following sentence for the purpose of paying principal, interest, Reimbursement Obligations and fees due from the Borrower, reimbursing expenses pursuant to Section 14.2 and paying any and all other amounts due and payable by the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes, and agrees that all such Loans so made shall be deemed to have been requested by it pursuant to Section 2.1 as of the date of the aforementioned notice. The Administrative Agent shall request Loans on behalf of the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence by notifying the Lenders by facsimile transmission or other similar form of transmission (which notice the Administrative Agent shall thereafter promptly transmit to the Borrower), of the amount and Funding Date of the proposed Borrowing and that such Borrowing is being requested on the Borrower’s behalf

pursuant to this Section 4.2(b)(iii). On the proposed Funding Date, the Lenders shall make the requested Loans in accordance with the procedures and subject to the conditions specified in Section 2.1.

(iv) Subject to Section 4.2(b)(v), the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Arranger and each other Lender at its primary address set forth on the appropriate signature page hereof or the signature page to the Assignment and Acceptance by which it became a Lender, or at such other address as a Lender or other Holder may request in writing, such funds as such Person may be entitled to receive, subject to the provisions of Article XII; provided that the Administrative Agent shall under no circumstances be bound to inquire into or determine the validity, scope or priority of any interest or entitlement of any Holder and may suspend all payments or seek appropriate relief (including, without limitation, instructions from the Requisite Lenders or an action in the nature of interpleader) in the event of any doubt or dispute as to any apportionment or distribution contemplated hereby.

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

(A) the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.2(b)(v) 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 5.1(c);

(B) a Lender shall be deemed to have cured its failure to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Loan at such time as an amount equal to such Lender’s original Pro Rata Share of the requested principal portion of such Loan is fully funded to the Borrower, whether made by such Lender itself or by operation of the terms of this Section 4.2(b)(v), and whether or not the Non Pro Rata Loan with respect thereto has been repaid, converted or continued;

(C) amounts advanced to the Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower to cure, in full or in part, any such Lender’s failure to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Loan (“Cure Loans”) shall bear interest at the Base Rate in

effect from time to time, and for all other purposes of this Agreement shall be treated as if they were Base Rate Loans; and

(D) regardless of whether or not an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, and notwithstanding the instructions of the Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower as to its desired application, all repayments of principal which, in accordance with the other terms of this Section 4.2, would be applied to the outstanding Base Rate Loans shall be applied first, ratably to all Base Rate Loans constituting Non Pro Rata Loans, second, ratably to Base Rate Loans other than those constituting Non Pro Rata Loans or Cure Loans and, third, ratably to Base Rate Loans constituting Cure Loans.

(c) Payments on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made by the Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower hereunder or under the Notes is stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the payment shall instead be due on the next succeeding Business Day (or, as set forth in Section 5.2(b)(iii), the next preceding Business Day).

4.3 Promise to Repay; Evidence of Indebtedness.

(a) Promise to Repay. The Borrower and each Qualified Borrower hereby agree to pay when due the principal amount of each Loan which is made to it, and further agree to pay all unpaid interest accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes. The Borrower and/or any Qualified Borrower shall execute and deliver to each Lender on the Closing Date (or in the case of any Qualified Borrower, at such time as it becomes a Qualified Borrower hereunder), a promissory note, in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, evidencing the Loans and thereafter shall execute and deliver such other promissory notes as are necessary to evidence the Loans owing to the Lenders after giving effect to any assignment thereof pursuant to Section 14.1 or any increase in such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.1(d), all in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the applicable Lenders and the parties to such assignment (all such promissory notes and all amendments thereto, replacements thereof and substitutions therefor being collectively referred to as the “Notes”; and “Note” means any one of the Notes).

(b) Loan Account. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts (a “Loan Account”) evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower and each Qualified Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amount of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder and under the Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure by any Lender to maintain a Loan Account shall in no way affect the Borrower’s or the applicable Qualified Borrower’s obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the obligation to repay the Obligations.

(c) Control Account. The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 14.1(c) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the type of Loan comprising such Borrowing and any Eurodollar

Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the effective date and amount of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and the parties thereto, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder or under the Notes and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower hereunder and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) Entries Binding. The entries made in the Register and each Loan Account shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(e) No Recourse to Limited Partners or General Partner. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, it is expressly understood and agreed that nothing herein or in the Notes shall be construed as creating any liability on any Limited Partner, any General Partner, or any partner, member, manager, officer, shareholder or director of any Limited Partner or any General Partner, to pay any of the Obligations other than liability arising from or in connection with (i) fraud or (ii) the misappropriation or misapplication of proceeds of the Loans; but nothing contained in this Section 4.3(e) shall be construed to prevent the exercise of any remedy allowed to the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Co-Agents or the Lenders by law or by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents which does not relate to or result in such an obligation by any Limited Partner or any General Partner (or any partner, member, manager, officer, shareholder or director of any Limited Partner or any General Partner) to pay money.

ARTICLE V

INTEREST AND FEES

5.1 Interest on the Loans and other Obligations.

(a) Rate of Interest. All Loans and the outstanding principal balance of all other Obligations shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loans are made and such other Obligations are due and payable until paid in full, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.1(d), as follows:

(i) If a Base Rate Loan or such other Obligation, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Base Rate, as in effect from time to time as interest accrues, plus (B) the then Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans; and

(ii) If a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Eurodollar Rate determined for the applicable Eurodollar Interest Period, plus (B) the then Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Loans; and

(iii) If a Eurodollar Money Market Loan, at a rate per annum equal to either (A) the sum of (1) the Eurodollar Rate determined for the applicable Eurodollar Interest Period (determined as if the related Money Market Borrowing were a Committed Eurodollar Rate Borrowing) plus (or minus) (2) the Money Market Margin quoted by the Lender making such Money Market Loan in accordance with Section 2.2 or (B) the Money Market Rate, as applicable.

The applicable basis for determining the rate of interest on the Loans shall be selected by the Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower at the time a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation is delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, neither the Borrower nor any Qualified Borrower may select the Eurodollar Rate as the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest on such a Loan if at the time of such selection an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default would occur or has occurred and is continuing and further provided that, from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default, each Eurodollar Rate Loan then outstanding may, at the Administrative Agent’s option, convert to a Base Rate Loan. If on any day any Loan is outstanding with respect to which notice has not been timely delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement specifying the basis for determining the rate of interest on that day, then for that day interest on that Loan shall be determined by reference to the Base Rate.

(b) Interest Payments. (i) Interest accrued on each Committed Loan shall be calculated on the last day of each calendar month and shall be payable in arrears (A) on the first day of each calendar month, commencing on the first such day following the making of such Committed Loan, and (B) if not theretofore paid in full, on the maturity date (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Committed Loan.

(ii) Interest accrued on each Money Market Loan shall be calculated on the last day of each calendar month during the Interest Period applicable thereto (or, if such Interest Period is for a period one month or less, on the last day of such Interest Period) and shall be payable in arrears (A) if such Money Market Loan has an Interest Period longer than one month (1) on the first day of each calendar month, commencing on the first such day following the making of such Money Market Loan, and (2) if not theretofore paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Money Market Loan; and (B) if such Money Market Loan has an Interest Period of one month or less, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Money Market Loan.

(iii) Interest accrued on the principal balance of all other Obligations shall be calculated on the last day of each calendar month and shall be payable in arrears (A) on the first day of each calendar month, commencing on the first such day following the incurrence of such Obligation, (B) upon repayment thereof in full or in part, and (C) if not theretofore paid in full, at the time such other Obligation becomes due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

(c) Conversion or Continuation. (i) The Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower shall have the option (A) to convert at any time all or any part of outstanding Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans; (B) to convert all or any part of outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans having Eurodollar Interest Periods which expire on the same date to Base Rate Loans, on such expiration date; and (C) to continue all or any part of outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans having Eurodollar Interest Periods which expire on the same date as Eurodollar Rate Loans, and the succeeding Eurodollar Interest Period of such continued Loans shall commence on such expiration date; provided, however, no such outstanding Loan may be continued as, or be

converted into, a Eurodollar Rate Loan (i) if the continuation of, or the conversion into, would violate any of the provisions of Section 5.2 or (ii) if an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default would occur or has occurred and is continuing. Any conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans under this Section 5.1(c) shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount, except in the case of a conversion into or a continuation of an entire Borrowing of Non Pro Rata Loans.

(ii) To convert or continue a Loan under Section 5.1(c)(i), the Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to the Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) at least three (3) Business Days (in the case of a Dollar denominated Loan), or four (4) Business Days (in the case of an Alternative Currency Loan) in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date. A Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall specify (A) the proposed conversion/continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), (B) the principal amount of the Loan to be converted/continued, (C) whether such Loan shall be converted and/or continued, and (D) in the case of a conversion to, or continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the requested Eurodollar Interest Period. In lieu of delivering a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower may give the Administrative Agent telephonic notice of any proposed conversion/continuation by the time required under this Section 5.1(c)(ii), if the Borrower confirms such notice by delivery of the Notice of Conversion/Continuation to the Administrative Agent by facsimile transmission promptly, but in no event later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the same day. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation under this Section 5.1(c)(ii) (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof), the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender by facsimile transmission, or other similar form of transmission, of the proposed conversion/continuation. Any Notice of Conversion/Continuation for conversion to, or continuation of, a Loan (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) given pursuant to this Section 5.1(c)(ii) shall be irrevocable, and the Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower shall be bound to convert or continue in accordance therewith. In the event no Notice of Conversion/Continuation is delivered as and when specified in this Section 5.1(c)(ii) with respect to outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans, upon the expiration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, such Loans shall automatically be continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans with a Eurodollar Interest Period of thirty (30) days; provided, however, no such outstanding Loan may be continued as, or be converted into, a Eurodollar Rate Loan (i) if the continuation of, or the conversion into, would violate any of the provisions of Section 5.2 or (ii) if an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default would occur or has occurred and is continuing.

(d) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in Section 5.1(a) or elsewhere in this Agreement, effective immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and for as long thereafter as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the principal balance of all Loans and other Obligations shall bear interest at a rate equal to the sum

of (A) the Base Rate, as in effect from time to time as interest accrues, plus (B) two percent (2.0%) per annum.

(e) Computation of Interest. Interest on all Obligations shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which interest accrues and a year of 360 days. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of the Loan or the first day of a Eurodollar Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be included and the date of payment or the expiration date of a Eurodollar Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided, however, if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one (1) day’s interest shall be paid on such Loan.

(f) Eurodollar Rate Information. Upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower from time to time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide to the Borrower such information with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate as may be so requested.

5.2 Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans and Money Market Loans.

(a) Amount of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,500,000 or, in the case of an Alternative Currency Loan, the Dollar Equivalent Amount equal to $1,500,000.

(b) Determination of Eurodollar Interest Period. By giving notice as set forth in Section 2.1(b) (with respect to a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans), Section 2.2 (with respect to a Borrowing of Money Market Loans), or Section 5.1(c) (with respect to a conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans), the Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower shall have the option, subject to the other provisions of this Section 5.2, to select an interest period (each, an “Interest Period”) to apply to the Loans described in such notice, subject to the following provisions:

(i) The Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower may only select, as to a particular Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans, an Interest Period (each, a “Eurodollar Interest Period”) of one, two, three or six months in duration or, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, a longer duration, or for a period of 7 or 14 days (provided, however, that in no event shall there be more than three (3) Eurodollar Interest Periods of 7 or 14 days outstanding at any time);

(ii) The Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower may only select, as to a particular Borrowing of Eurodollar Money Market Loans, a Eurodollar Interest Period of one, two, or three months in duration;

(iii) In the case of immediately successive Eurodollar Interest Periods applicable to a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans, each successive Eurodollar Interest Period shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Eurodollar Interest Period expires;

(iv) If any Eurodollar Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Eurodollar Interest Period shall be extended to expire on the next succeeding Business Day if the next succeeding Business Day occurs in the same calendar month, and if there will be no succeeding Business Day in such calendar month, the Eurodollar Interest Period shall expire on the immediately preceding Business Day;

(v) Neither the Borrower nor the applicable Qualified Borrower may select an Interest Period as to any Loan if such Interest Period terminates later than the Revolving Credit Termination Date;

(vi) Neither the Borrower nor the applicable Qualified Borrower may select an Interest Period with respect to any portion of principal of a Loan which extends beyond a date on which the Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower is required to make a scheduled payment of such portion of principal; and

(vii) There shall be no more than twelve (12) Interest Periods in effect at any one time with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(c) Determination of Eurodollar Interest Rate. As soon as practicable on the second Business Day prior to the first day of each Eurodollar Interest Period (the “Eurodollar Interest Rate Determination Date”), the Administrative Agent shall determine (pursuant to the procedures set forth in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate”) the interest rate which shall apply to the Eurodollar Rate Loans or Eurodollar Money Market Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Eurodollar Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower, the applicable Qualified Borrower(s) and to each Lender. The Administrative Agent’s determination shall be presumed to be correct, absent manifest error, and shall be binding upon the Borrower, the applicable Qualified Borrower and each Lender.

(d) Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair. In the event that at least one (1) Business Day before a Eurodollar Interest Rate Determination Date:

(i) the Administrative Agent determines that deposits in Dollars or the Alternative Currency (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered in the London interbank market for such Eurodollar Interest Period; or

(ii) the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the Eurodollar Rate then being determined is to be fixed; or

(iii) the Requisite Lenders advise the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for Eurodollar Rate Loans comprising such Borrowing will not adequately reflect the cost to such Requisite Lenders of obtaining funds in Dollars in the London interbank market in the amount substantially equal to such Lenders’ Eurodollar Rate Loans in Dollars or the Alternative Currency and for a period equal to such Eurodollar Interest Period; or

(iv) the applicable Lender(s) advise the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for Eurodollar Money Market Loans comprising such Borrowing will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lender(s) of obtaining funds in Dollars in the London Interbank market in the amount substantially equal to such Lender(s)’ Money Market Loans in Dollars and for a period equal to such Eurodollar Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the applicable Qualified Borrower, whereupon (until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the applicable Qualified Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist) the right of the Borrower and the such Qualified Borrower to elect to have Loans bear interest based upon the Eurodollar Rate shall be suspended and each outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loan and Eurodollar Money Market Loan shall be converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor, notwithstanding any prior election by the Borrower to the contrary.

(e) Illegality. (i) If at any time any Lender determines (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties) that the making, converting, maintaining or continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loan or Money Market Loan has become unlawful or impermissible by compliance by that Lender with any law, governmental rule, regulation or order of any Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful or would result in costs or penalties), then, and in any such event, such Lender may give notice of that determination, in writing, to the Borrower, the applicable Qualified Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit the notice to each other Lender.

(ii) When notice is given by a Lender under Section 5.2(e)(i), (A) the Borrower’s or the applicable Qualified Borrower’s right to request from such Lender and such Lender’s obligation, if any, to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be immediately suspended, and such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan as part of any requested Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) if the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans, or Eurodollar Money Market Loans are then outstanding, the Borrower or such Qualified Borrower shall immediately, or if permitted by applicable law, no later than the date permitted thereby, upon at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the affected Lender, convert each such Loan into a Base Rate Loan.

(iii) If at any time after a Lender gives notice under Section 5.2(e)(i) such Lender determines that it may lawfully make Eurodollar Rate Loans, such Lender shall promptly give notice of that determination, in writing, to the Borrower, the applicable Qualified Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit the notice to each other Lender. The Borrower’s and such Qualified Borrower’s right to request, and such Lender’s obligation, if any, to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon be restored.

(f) Compensation. In addition to all amounts required to be paid by the Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1 and Article XIII, the

Borrower and the applicable Qualified Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon demand, for all losses, expenses to third parties and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans and/or Money Market Loans to the Borrower or such Qualified Borrower but excluding any loss of Applicable Margin on the relevant Loans, any losses or expenses incurred as the result of such Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction) and any administrative fees incurred in effecting such liquidation or reemployment) which that Lender may sustain (i) if for any reason a Borrowing, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans and/or Eurodollar Money Market Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by the Borrower or any applicable Qualified Borrower or in a telephonic request by it for borrowing or conversion/ continuation or a successive Eurodollar Interest Period does not commence after notice therefor is given pursuant to Section 5.1(c), including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 5.2(d), (ii) if for any reason any Eurodollar Rate Loan or Money Market Loan is prepaid (including, without limitation, mandatorily pursuant to Section 4.1(d)) on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, (iii) as a consequence of a required conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Loan or Money Market Loan to a Base Rate Loan as a result of any of the events indicated in Section 5.2(d), or (iv) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrower or any applicable Qualified Borrower to repay a Eurodollar Rate Loan or Money Market Loan when required by the terms of this Agreement. The Lender making demand for such compensation shall deliver to the Borrower concurrently with such demand a written statement in reasonable detail as to such losses, expenses and liabilities, and this statement shall be conclusive as to the amount of compensation due to that Lender, absent manifest error.

(g) Booking of Eurodollar Rate Loans and Money Market Loans. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Eurodollar Rate Loans and Money Market Loans at, to, or for the account of, its Eurodollar Lending Office or Eurodollar Affiliate or its other offices or Affiliates. No Lender shall be entitled, however, to receive any greater amount under Sections 4.2 or 5.2(f) or Article XIII as a result of the transfer of any such Eurodollar Rate Loan or Money Market Loan to any office (other than such Eurodollar Lending Office) or any Affiliate (other than such Eurodollar Affiliate) than such Lender would have been entitled to receive immediately prior thereto, unless (i) the transfer occurred at a time when circumstances giving rise to the claim for such greater amount did not exist and (ii) such claim would have arisen even if such transfer had not occurred.

(h) Affiliates Not Obligated. No Eurodollar Affiliate or other Affiliate of any Lender shall be deemed a party to this Agreement or shall have any liability or obligation under this Agreement.

(i) Adjusted Eurodollar Rate. Any failure by any Lender to take into account the Eurodollar Reserve Percentage when calculating interest due on Eurodollar Rate Loans or Money Market Loans shall not constitute, whether by course of dealing or otherwise, a waiver by such Lender of its right to collect such amount for any future period.

5.3 Fees.

(a) Facility Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders based on their respective Pro Rata Shares, a fee (the “Facility Fee”), accruing at a per annum rate equal to the then applicable Facility Fee Percentage on the Maximum Revolving Credit Amount and commencing on the Initial Funding Date, such fee being payable quarterly, in arrears, commencing on the first day of the fiscal quarter next succeeding the Initial Funding Date and on the first day of each fiscal quarter thereafter and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

(b) Calculation and Payment of Fees. All fees shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a 360-day year. All fees shall be payable in addition to, and not in lieu of, interest, compensation, expense reimbursements, indemnification and other Obligations. Fees shall be payable to the Administrative Agent at its office in New York, New York in immediately available funds. All fees shall be fully earned and nonrefundable when paid. All fees due to any Arranger or any other Lender, including, without limitation, those referred to in this Section 5.3, shall bear interest, if not paid when due, at the interest rate specified in Section 5.1(d) and shall constitute Obligations.

In connection with an acquisition of a Project, a Property, or a portfolio of Projects or Properties, by any of the Consolidated Businesses or any Minority Holding (whether such acquisition is direct or through the acquisition of a Person which owns such Property), the financial covenants contained in this Agreement shall be calculated as follows on a pro forma basis (with respect to the pro rata share of the Borrower in the case of an acquisition by a Minority Holding), which pro forma calculation shall be effective until the last day of the sixth fiscal quarter following such acquisition (or such earlier test period, as applicable), at which time actual performance shall be utilized for such calculations.

(a) Annual EBITDA. For up to six (6) fiscal quarters post acquisition, Annual EBITDA for the acquired Property shall be deemed to be an amount equal to (i) the net purchase price of the acquired Property (or the Borrower’s pro rata share of such net purchase price in the

event of an acquisition by a Minority Holding) for the first fiscal quarter following such acquisition, multiplied by 6.75%, and (ii) for the succeeding three fiscal quarters, Annual EBITDA shall be deemed the greater of (A) the net purchase price multiplied by 6.75%, or (B) the actual EBITDA from such acquired Property during the period following Borrower’s (direct or indirect) acquisition, computed on an annualized basis, provided that such annualized EBITDA shall in no event exceed the final product obtained after multiplying (1) the net purchase price by (2) 1.1, and then by (3) 6.75%.

(b) Combined EBITDA. The pro forma calculation of Annual EBITDA for the acquired Property shall be added to the calculation of Combined EBITDA.

(c) Unencumbered Combined EBITDA. If, after giving effect to the acquisition, the acquired Property will not be encumbered by Secured Indebtedness, then the pro forma Annual EBITDA for the acquired Property shall be added to the calculation of Unencumbered Combined EBITDA.

(d) Secured Indebtedness. Any Indebtedness secured by a Lien incurred and/or assumed in connection with such acquisition of a Property shall be added to the calculation of Secured Indebtedness.

(e) Total Adjusted Outstanding Indebtedness. Any Indebtedness incurred and/or assumed in connection with such acquisition shall be added to the calculation of Total Adjusted Outstanding Indebtedness.

(f) Combined Interest Expense. If any Indebtedness is incurred or assumed in connection with such acquisition, then the amount of interest expense to be incurred on such Indebtedness during the period following such acquisition, computed on an annualized basis during the applicable period, shall be added to the calculation of Combined Interest Expense.

(g) Total Unsecured Outstanding Indebtedness. Any Indebtedness which is not secured by a Lien and which is incurred and/or assumed in connection with such acquisition shall be added to the calculation of Total Unsecured Outstanding Indebtedness.

(h) Unsecured Interest Expense. If any unsecured Indebtedness is incurred or assumed in connection with such acquisition, then the amount of interest expense to be incurred on such Indebtedness during the period following such acquisition, computed on an annualized basis during the applicable period, shall be added to the calculation of Unsecured Interest Expense.

11.2 Rights and Remedies.

(a) Acceleration and Termination. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 11.1(f) or 11.1(g), the Revolving Credit Commitments shall automatically and immediately terminate and the unpaid principal amount of, and any and all accrued interest on, the Obligations and all accrued fees shall automatically become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, or protest or other requirements of any kind (including, without limitation, valuation and appraisement, diligence, presentment, notice of intent to demand or accelerate and of acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower and each Qualified Borrower; and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the Requisite Lenders, by written notice to the Borrower, (i) declare that the Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated, whereupon the Revolving Credit Commitments and the obligation of each Lender to make any Loan hereunder and of each Lender to issue or participate in any Letter of Credit not then issued shall immediately terminate, and/or (ii) declare the unpaid principal amount of and any and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations to be, and the same shall thereupon be, immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, or protest or other requirements of any kind (including, without limitation, valuation and appraisement, diligence, presentment, notice of intent to demand or accelerate and of acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower and each Qualified Borrower.

(b) Rescission. If at any time after termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and/or acceleration of the maturity of the Loans, the Borrower shall pay all arrears of interest and all payments on account of principal of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on principal and, to the extent permitted by law, on overdue interest, at the rates specified in this Agreement) and all Events of Default and Potential Events of Default (other than nonpayment of principal of and accrued interest on the Loans due and payable solely by virtue of acceleration) shall be remedied or waived pursuant to Section 14.7, then upon the written consent of the Requisite Lenders and written notice to the Borrower, the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and/or the acceleration and their consequences may be rescinded and annulled; but such action shall not affect any subsequent Event of Default or Potential Event of Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon. The provisions of the preceding sentence are intended merely to bind the Lenders to a decision which may be made at the election of the Requisite Lenders; they are not intended to benefit the Borrower and do not give the Borrower the right to require the Lenders to rescind or annul any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are met.

(c) Enforcement. The Borrower and each Qualified Borrower acknowledges that in the event the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any Qualified Borrower fails to perform, observe or discharge any of their respective obligations or liabilities under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any remedy of law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the other Lenders; therefore, the Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the other Lenders shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

THE AGENTS

12.1 Appointment. (a) Each Lender hereby designates and appoints JPMorgan Chase as the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers as the Arrangers, and the Co-Agents as the Co-Agents of such Lender under this Agreement, and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, and the Co-Agents to take such actions on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the Loan Documents and to exercise such powers as are set forth herein or therein together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Co-Agents each agree to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Article XII. The Administrative Agent shall administer this Agreement and service the Loans with the same degree of care as the Administrative Agent would use in servicing a loan of similar size and type for its own account.

In performing their respective functions and duties under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent, each Arranger, and each Co-Agent shall act solely as agents of the Lenders and do not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or

relationship of agency, trustee or fiduciary with or for any General Partner, the Borrower, any Qualified Borrower, or any Subsidiary of the Borrower.

12.2 Nature of Duties.

(a) The Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Co-Agents shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the Loan Documents. The duties of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, and the Co-Agents shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. None of the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, or any Co-Agent shall have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Holder. Nothing in this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon the Administrative Agent or any Arranger, or Co-Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein. The Administrative Agent and each Arranger and Co-Agent each hereby agrees that its duties shall include providing copies of documents received by such Agent from the Borrower which are reasonably requested by any Lender and promptly notifying each Lender upon its obtaining actual knowledge of the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver to each of the Lenders copies of all notices of default and other formal notices (including, without limitation, requests for waivers or modifications, as well as all notices received pursuant to Sections 8.4, 8.5, 8.6 and 8.7) sent or received, together with copies of all reports or other information received by it from the Borrower, including, without limitation, all financial information delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.2.

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

the other Loan Documents; (iv) the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers, Co-Agents and Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower, any Qualified Borrower and its Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Arranger, Co-Agent or Lender or such Affiliate has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any relationship arising out of or related to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto; and (v) the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers, the Co-Agents and the Lenders or any Affiliate thereof have not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby and the Borrower and each Qualified Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate. The Borrower and each Qualified Borrower hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Co-Agents and the Lenders or any Affiliate thereof with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty arising out of or related to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto.

12.3 Right to Request Instructions. The Administrative Agent and each Arranger and Co-Agent may at any time request instructions from the Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of any of the Loan Documents such Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant, and such Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it shall have received such instructions from those Lenders from whom such Agent is required to obtain such instructions for the pertinent matter in accordance with the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such Agent shall take any action, or refrain from taking any action, which is permitted by the terms of the Loan Documents upon receipt of instructions from those Lenders from whom such Agent is required to obtain such instructions for the pertinent matter in accordance with the Loan Documents, provided, that no Holder shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent or any Arranger or Co-Agent as a result of such Agent acting or refraining from acting under the Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders or, where required by the express terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the Lenders.

12.4 Reliance. The Administrative Agent and each Arranger and Co-Agent shall each be entitled to rely upon any written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it.

12.5 Indemnification. To the extent that the Administrative Agent or any Arranger or Co-Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower or any Qualified Borrower, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify such Agent solely in its capacity as such Agent and not as a Lender for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, and reasonable costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against it in any way

relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under the Loan Documents, in proportion to each Lender’s Pro Rata Share determined as of the time when such indemnification is sought, unless and to the extent that any such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, and reasonable costs, expenses or disbursements shall arise as a result of such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Such Agent agrees to refund to the Lenders any of the foregoing amounts paid to it by the Lenders which amounts are subsequently recovered by such Agent from the Borrower, any Qualified Borrower or any other Person on behalf of the Borrower. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 12.5 shall survive the payment in full of the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations and all other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

12.6 Agents Individually. With respect to their respective Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder, if any, and the Loans made by them, if any, the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Co-Agents shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and are subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender. The terms “Lenders” or “Requisite Lenders” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent, each Arranger and each other Co-Agent in its respective individual capacity as a Lender or as one of the Requisite Lenders. The Administrative Agent and each other Arranger and Co-Agent and each of their respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries as if they were not acting as the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, and Co-Agents pursuant hereto.

12.7 Successor Agents.

(a) Resignation and Removal. Any Lead Arranger or the Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder (including as Administrative Agent) at any time by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Borrower and the other Lenders, unless applicable law requires a shorter notice period or that there be no notice period, in which instance such applicable law shall control. Any Lead Arranger or the Administrative Agent may be removed at the direction of the Requisite Lenders, in the event such Lead Arranger or the Administrative Agent shall commit gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of its duties hereunder. Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Lead Arranger or Administrative Agent of appointment pursuant to this Section 12.7.

(b) Appointment by Requisite Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal becoming effective, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, subject to approval by the Borrower provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, selected from among the Lenders.

(c) Appointment by Retiring Agent. If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been appointed within the thirty (30) Business Day or shorter period provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 12.7, the retiring Agent shall then appoint a successor Agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent until such time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above.

100

(d) Rights of the Successor and Retiring Agents. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative 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 retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article XII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Agent under this Agreement.

12.8 Relations Among the Lenders. Each Lender agrees that it will not take any legal action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, against the Borrower or any Qualified Borrower hereunder with respect to any of the Obligations, without the prior written consent of the Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Lender may accelerate or otherwise enforce its portion of the Obligations, or unilaterally terminate its Revolving Credit Commitment except in accordance with Section 11.2(a).

ARTICLE XIII

YIELD PROTECTION

13.1 Taxes.

(a) Payment of Taxes. Any and all payments by the Borrower or any Qualified Borrower hereunder or under any Note or other document evidencing any Obligations shall be made, in accordance with Section 4.2, free and clear of and without reduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings, and all stamp or documentary taxes, excise taxes, ad valorem taxes and other taxes imposed on the value of the Property, charges or levies which arise from the execution, delivery or registration, or from payment or performance under, or otherwise with respect to, any of the Loan Documents or the Revolving Credit Commitments and all other liabilities with respect thereto excluding, in the case of each Lender, taxes imposed on or measured by net income or overall gross receipts and capital and franchise taxes imposed on it by (i) the United States, (ii) the Governmental Authority of the jurisdiction in which such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office is located or any political subdivision thereof or (iii) the Governmental Authority in which such Person is organized, managed and controlled or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges and withholdings being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower or any Qualified Borrower shall be required by law to withhold or deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any such Note or document to any Lender, (x) the sum payable to such Lender shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required withholding or deductions (including withholding or deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 13.1) such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deductions been made, (y) the Borrower shall make such withholding or deductions, and (z) the Borrower shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) Indemnification. The Borrower and each Qualified Borrower will jointly and severally indemnify each Lender against, and reimburse each Lender on demand for, the full

101

amount of all Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority on amounts payable under this Section 13.1 and any additional income or franchise taxes resulting therefrom) incurred or paid by such Lender or any of its Affiliates and any liability (including penalties, interest, and out-of-pocket expenses paid to third parties) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were lawfully payable. A certificate as to any additional amount payable to any Person under this Section 13.1 submitted by it to the Borrower or any Qualified Borrower shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto. Each Lender agrees, within a reasonable time after receiving a written request from the Borrower or any Qualified Borrower, to provide the Borrower or such Qualified Borrower and the Administrative Agent with such certificates as are reasonably required, and take such other actions as are reasonably necessary to claim such exemptions as such Lender may be entitled to claim in respect of all or a portion of any Taxes which are otherwise required to be paid or deducted or withheld pursuant to this Section 13.1 in respect of any payments under this Agreement or under the Notes.

(c) Receipts. Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes by the Borrower, the Borrower or any Qualified Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 14.8, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(d) Foreign Bank Certifications. (i) Each Lender that is not created or organized under the laws of the United States or a political subdivision thereof shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on the Closing Date or the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender pursuant to Section 14.1 hereof a true and accurate certificate executed in duplicate by a duly authorized officer of such Lender to the effect that such Lender is eligible to receive payments hereunder and under the Notes without deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax (I) under the provisions of an applicable tax treaty concluded by the United States (in which case the certificate shall be accompanied by two duly completed copies of IRS Form W8-ECI (or any successor or substitute form or forms)) or (II) under Sections 1442(c)(1) and 1442(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (in which case the certificate shall be accompanied by two duly completed copies of IRS Form W8-BEN (or any successor or substitute form or forms)).

(ii) Each Lender further agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent from time to time a true and accurate certificate executed in duplicate by a duly authorized officer of such Lender before or promptly upon the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent certificate previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 13.1(d). Each certificate required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 13.1(d)(ii) shall certify as to one of the following:

(A) that such Lender can continue to receive payments hereunder and under the Notes without deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax;

(B) that such Lender cannot continue to receive payments hereunder and under the Notes without deduction or withholding of

000

Xxxxxx Xxxxxx federal income tax as specified therein but does not require additional payments pursuant to Section 13.1(a) because it is entitled to recover the full amount of any such deduction or withholding from a source other than the Borrower; or

(C) that such Lender is no longer capable of receiving payments hereunder and under the Notes without deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax as specified therein and that it is not capable of recovering the full amount of the same from a source other than the Borrower.

Each Lender agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent further duly completed copies of the above-mentioned IRS forms on or before the earlier of (x) the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or otherwise is required to be resubmitted as a condition to obtaining an exemption from withholding from United States federal income tax and (y) fifteen (15) days after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by such Lender to the Borrower and Administrative Agent, unless any change in treaty, law, regulation, or official interpretation thereof which would render such form inapplicable or which would prevent the Lender from duly completing and delivering such form has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required and the Lender promptly advises the Borrower that it is not capable of receiving payments hereunder and under the Notes without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.

13.2 Increased Capital. If after the date hereof any Lender determines that (i) the adoption or implementation of or any change in or in the interpretation or administration of any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority or quasi-governmental authority exercising jurisdiction, power or control over any Lender or banks or financial institutions generally (whether or not having the force of law), compliance with which affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and (ii) the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon (A) the making or maintenance by any Lender of its Loans, including any Alternative Currency Loans, any Lender’s participation in or obligation to participate in the Loans, including the Alternative Currency Loans, Letters of Credit or other advances made hereunder or the existence of any Lender’s obligation to make Loans or Alternative Currency Loans, or (B) the issuance or maintenance by any Lender of, or the existence of any Lender’s obligation to issue, Letters of Credit, then, in any such case, upon written demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower or any Qualified Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such corporation therefor. Such demand shall be accompanied by a statement as to the amount of such compensation and include a brief summary of the basis for such demand. Such statement shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

13.3 Changes; Legal Restrictions. If after the date hereof any Lender determines that the adoption or implementation of or any change in or in the interpretation or administration of any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority or quasi-governmental authority exercising jurisdiction, power or

103

control over any Lender, or over banks or financial institutions generally (whether or not having the force of law), compliance with which:

(a) does or will subject a Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office or Eurodollar Affiliate) to charges (other than taxes) of any kind which such Lender reasonably determines to be applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or issue and/or participate in Letters of Credit or change the basis of taxation of payments to that Lender of principal, fees, interest, or any other amount payable hereunder with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, Letters of Credit or Money Market Loans; or

(b) does or will impose, modify, or hold applicable, in the determination of a Lender, any reserve (other than reserves taken into account in calculating the Eurodollar Rate), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities (including those pertaining to Letters of Credit) in or for the account of, advances or loans by, commitments made, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, a Lender or any Applicable Lending Office or Eurodollar Affiliate of that Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to that Lender of making, converting, continuing, renewing or maintaining the Loans or its Revolving Credit Commitment or issuing or participating in the Letters of Credit or to reduce any amount receivable thereunder; then, in any such case, upon written demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower or any Qualified Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, such amount or amounts as may be necessary to compensate such Lender or its Eurodollar Affiliate for any such additional cost incurred or reduced amount received. Such demand shall be accompanied by a statement as to the amount of such compensation and include a brief summary of the basis for such demand. Such statement shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

For purposes hereof, all requests, rules, guidelines or directives in connection with the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act shall be deemed to be a change regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States financial regulatory authorities shall be deemed to be a change regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented, provided, however, that if the applicable Lender shall have implemented changes prior to the date hereof in response to any such requests, rules, guidelines or directives, then the same shall not be deemed to be a change with respect to such Lender.

13.4 Replacement of Certain Lenders. In the event a Lender (a “Designee Lender”) shall have requested additional compensation from the Borrower or any Qualified Borrower under Section 13.2 or under Section 13.3, the Borrower may, at its sole election, (a) make written demand on such Designee Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) for the Designee Lender to assign, and such Designee Lender shall assign pursuant to one or more duly executed Assignment and Acceptances to one or more Eligible Assignees which the Borrower or

104

the Administrative Agent shall have identified for such purpose, all of such Designee Lender’s right and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes (including, without limitation, its Revolving Credit Commitment, all Loans owing to it, and all of its participation interests in Letters of Credit) in accordance with Section 14.1 (with the Borrower paying any applicable fees associated with such assignment), or (b) repay all Loans owing to the Designee Lender together with interest accrued with respect thereto to the date of such repayment and all fees and other charges accrued or payable and all other Obligations owing to such Designee Lender under the terms of this Agreement for the benefit of the Designee Lender to the date of such repayment and remit to the Administrative Agent to be held as cash collateral an amount equal to the participation interest of the Designee Lender in Letters of Credit. Any such repayment and remittance shall be for the sole credit of the Designee Lender and not for any other Lender. Upon delivery of such repayment and remittance in immediately available funds as aforesaid, the Designee Lender shall cease to be a Lender under this Agreement. All expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing shall be for the sole account of the Borrower and shall constitute Obligations hereunder. In no event shall Borrower’s election under the provisions of this Section 13.4 affect its obligation to pay the additional compensation required under either Section 13.2 or Section 13.3.

ARTICLE XIV

MISCELLANEOUS

14.1 Assignments and Participations.

(a) Assignments. No assignments or participations of any Lender’s rights or obligations under this Agreement shall be made except in accordance with this Section 14.1. Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all of its rights and obligations with respect to the Loans and the Letters of Credit) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.1.

(b) Limitations on Assignments. For so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) each assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, ratable percentage of all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and, in the case of a partial assignment, shall be in a minimum principal amount of $15,000,000, (ii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, and (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance (in accordance with Section 14.1(d)) and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, (i) none of the foregoing restrictions on assignments shall apply, and (ii) none of the Borrower, any Qualified Borrower, any other respective Subsidiaries or any Affiliates thereof shall be an assignee. In addition, at any time, each Lender shall have the right to assign all or any portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Loans to an Affiliate without compliance with the first sentence of this Section 14.1(b) provided, however, that in such event, the assigning Lender shall not be released from its obligations under this Agreement. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance (in accordance with Section 14.1(d)) and recording in the Register, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance and agreed to by the Administrative Agent, (A) the assignee thereunder shall, in addition to any

105

rights and obligations hereunder held by it immediately prior to such effective date, if any, have the rights and obligations hereunder that have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have the same rights and benefits hereunder as if it were an original Lender hereunder, (B) the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of such assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the assigning Lender shall cease to be a party hereto except that its rights under Section 14.3 shall survive) and (C) the Borrower and any Qualified Borrower shall execute and deliver to the assignee thereunder a Note evidencing its obligations to such assignee with respect to the Loans.

(c) The Register. The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 14.8 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, the Revolving Credit Commitment of, and the principal amount of the Loans under the Revolving Credit Commitments 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 and Acceptance. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent and the other 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 the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Fee. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the assigning Lender and an Eligible Assignee and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (payable by the assignee to the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in compliance with this Agreement and in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower and the other Lenders.

(e) Participations. Each Lender may sell participations to one or more other entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under and in respect of any and all facilities under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of any or all of its Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder and the Committed Loans owing to it and its undivided interest in the Letters of Credit); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (iv) each participation shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 (except that there shall be no minimum amount with respect to participations in Alternative Currency Loans), and (v) such participant’s rights to agree or to restrict such Lender’s ability to agree to the modification, waiver or release of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, to consent to any action or failure

106

to act by any party to any of the Loan Documents or any of their respective Affiliates, or to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights which any Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents, shall be limited to the right to consent to (A) increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment of the Lender from whom such participant purchased a participation, but only if such increase shall affect such participant, (B) reduction of the principal of, or rate or amount of interest on the Loans subject to such participation (other than by the payment or prepayment thereof), (C) postponement of any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loan(s) subject to such participation and (D) release of any guarantor of the Obligations. Participations by a Person in a Money Market Loan of any Lender shall not be deemed “participations” for purposes of this Section 14.1(e) and shall not be subject to the restrictions on “participations” contained herein.

(f) Any Lender (each, a “Designating Lender”) may at any time designate one Designated Bank to fund Money Market Loans on behalf of such Designating Lender subject to the terms of this Section 14.1(f) and the provisions in Section 14.1 (b) and (e) shall not apply to such designation. No Lender may designate more than one (1) Designated Bank. The parties to each such designation shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance a Designation Agreement. Upon such receipt of an appropriately completed Designation Agreement executed by a Designating Lender and a designee representing that it is a Designated Bank, the Administrative Agent will accept such Designation Agreement and will give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower, whereupon, (i) the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Designating Bank a Designated Bank Note payable to the order of the Designated Bank, (ii) from and after the effective date specified in the Designation Agreement, the Designated Bank shall become a party to this Agreement with a right to make Money Market Loans on behalf of its Designating Lender pursuant to Section 2.2 after the Borrower has accepted a Money Market Loan (or portion thereof) of the Designating Lender, and (iii) the Designated Bank shall not be required to make payments with respect to any obligations in this Agreement except to the extent of excess cash flow of such Designated Bank which is not otherwise required to repay obligations of such Designated Bank which are then due and payable; provided, however, that regardless of such designation and assumption by the Designated Bank, the Designating Lender shall be and remain obligated to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Co-Agents and the other Lenders for each and every of the obligations of the Designating Lender and its related Designated Bank with respect to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any indemnification obligations under Section 12.5 hereof and any sums otherwise payable to the Borrower by the Designated Bank. Each Designating Lender shall serve as the administrative agent of the Designated Bank and shall on behalf of, and to the exclusion of, the Designated Bank: (i) receive any and all payments made for the benefit of the Designated Bank and (ii) give and receive all communications and notices and take all actions hereunder, including, without limitation, votes, approvals, waivers, consents and amendments under or relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any such notice, communication, vote, approval, waiver, consent or amendment shall be signed by the Designating Lender as administrative agent for the Designated Bank and shall not be signed by the Designated Bank on its own behalf but shall be binding on the Designated Bank to the same extent as if actually signed by the Designated Bank. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, Co-Agents and Lenders may rely thereon without any requirement that the Designated Bank sign or acknowledge the same. No Designated Bank may assign or transfer all or any portion of its interest hereunder or under any other Loan Document, other than assignments to the Designating

107

Lender which originally designated such Designated Bank or otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.1 (b) and (e).

(g) Information Regarding the Borrower. Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 14.1, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to the Borrower, any Qualified Borrower, or its Subsidiaries furnished to such Lender by the Administrative Agent or by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Qualified Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, such assignee or participant, or proposed assignee or participant, shall agree, in writing, to preserve in accordance with Section 14.20 the confidentiality of any confidential information described therein.

(h) SPC Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (a “SPC”), identified in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the option to purchase from the Granting Lender all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make as provided herein, provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment to purchase any Loan by any SPC, and (ii) if a SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to fund all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to fund such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The funding of a Loan by a SPC hereunder shall utilize the Revolving Credit Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were funded by such Granting Lender. Each party hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or payment under this Agreement for which a Lender would otherwise be liable, for so long as, and to the extent, the Granting Lender provides such indemnity or makes such payment. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding Loans of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or similar proceedings under the laws of the United States. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Granting Lender may disclose to a SPC and any SPC may disclose to any Rating Agency or provider of any surety or guarantee to such SPC any information relating to the SPC’s funding of Loans, all on a confidential basis. This clause (h) may not be amended without the prior written consent of each Granting Lender, all or any part of whose Loans are being funded by a SPC at the time of such amendment.

(i) Payment to Participants. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the case of any participation, all amounts payable by the Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be calculated and made in the manner and to the parties required hereby as if no such participation had been sold.

(j) Lenders’ Creation of Security Interests. Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Obligations owing to it and any Note held by it) in favor of any Federal Reserve bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board.

108

14.2 Expenses.

(a) Generally. The Borrower agrees upon demand to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all of their respective reasonable external audit and investigation expenses, and for the fees, expenses and disbursements of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Xxxxxxx & Xxxx LLP (but not of other legal counsel) and for all other out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every type and nature incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with (i) the audit and investigation of the Consolidated Businesses, the Projects and other Properties of the Consolidated Businesses in connection with the preparation, negotiation, and execution of the Loan Documents; (ii) the preparation, negotiation, execution and interpretation of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Article VI), the Loan Documents, and the making of the Loans hereunder; (iii) the ongoing administration of this Agreement and the Loans, including consultation with attorneys in connection therewith and with respect to the Administrative Agent’s rights and responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (iv) the protection, collection or enforcement of any of the Obligations or the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents; (v) the commencement, defense or intervention in any court proceeding relating in any way to the Obligations, any Project, the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (vi) the response to, and preparation for, any subpoena or request for document production with which the Administrative Agent or any other Agents or any other Lender is served or deposition or other proceeding in which any Lender is called to testify, in each case, relating in any way to the Obligations, a Project, the Borrower, any of the Consolidated Businesses, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; and (vii) any amendments, consents, waivers, assignments, restatements, or supplements to any of the Loan Documents and the preparation, negotiation, and execution of the same.

(b) After Default. The Borrower further agrees to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Co-Agents and each of the Lenders and their respective directors, officers, partners, employees, agents and advisors upon demand for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (including allocated costs of internal counsel and costs of settlement) incurred by such entity after the occurrence of an Event of Default (i) in enforcing any Loan Document or Obligation or any security therefor or exercising or enforcing any other right or remedy available by reason of such Event of Default; (ii) in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or in any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding; (iii) in commencing, defending or intervening in any litigation or in filing a petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleadings in any legal proceeding relating to the Obligations, a Project, any of the Consolidated Businesses and related to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any of the other Loan Documents; and (iv) in taking any other action in or with respect to any suit or proceeding (bankruptcy or otherwise) described in clauses (i) through (iii) above.

14.3 Indemnity. The Borrower and each Qualified Borrower further agrees, jointly and severally, (a) to defend, protect, indemnify, and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Co-Agents and each and all of the other Lenders and each of their respective officers, partners, directors, employees, affiliates, attorneys and agents (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of

109

any of the conditions set forth in Article VI) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses (other than loss of profits), damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, reasonable expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (excluding any taxes and including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding, whether or not such Indemnitees shall be designated a party thereto), imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Indemnitees in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant thereto, the making of the Loans and the issuance of and participation in Letters of Credit hereunder, the management of such Loans or Letters of Credit, the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder, or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, or (ii) any Liabilities and Costs relating to violation of any Environmental, Health or Safety Requirements of Law, the past, present or future operations of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective predecessors in interest, or, the past, present or future environmental, health or safety condition of any respective Property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the presence of asbestos-containing materials at any respective Property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or the Release or threatened Release of any Contaminant into the environment (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, neither the Borrower nor any Qualified Borrower shall have any obligation to an Indemnitee hereunder with respect to Indemnified Matters caused by or resulting from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a non-appealable final judgment; and (b) not to assert any claim against any of the Indemnitees, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect consequential or punitive damages arising out of, or in any way in connection with, the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Revolving Credit Obligations, or the other matters governed by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower and each Qualified Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters incurred by the Indemnitees.

14.4 Change in Accounting Principles. If any change in the accounting principles used in the preparation of the most recent financial statements referred to in Sections 8.1 or 8.2 are hereafter required or permitted by the rules, regulations, pronouncements and opinions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board or the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (or successors thereto or agencies with similar functions) and are adopted by any General Partner or the Borrower, as applicable, with the agreement of its independent certified public accountants and such changes result in a change in the method of calculation of any of the covenants, standards or terms found in Article X, the parties hereto agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions so as to equitably reflect such changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating compliance with such covenants, standards and terms by the Borrower shall be the same after such changes as if such changes had not been made; provided, however, no change in GAAP that would affect the method of calculation of any of the covenants, standards or terms shall be given effect in such calculations until such provisions are amended, in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to so reflect such change in accounting principles.

110

14.5 Setoff. In addition to any Liens granted under the Loan Documents and any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and any Affiliate of any Lender is hereby authorized by the Borrower and each Qualified Borrower at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Person (any such notice being hereby expressly waived) to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured (but not including trust accounts)) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender or any of its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any Qualified Borrower against and on account of the Obligations of the Borrower or any Qualified Borrower to such Lender or any of its Affiliates, including, but not limited to, all Loans and Letters of Credit and all claims of any nature or description arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, irrespective of whether or not (i) such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or (ii) the Administrative Agent, at the request or with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, shall have declared the principal of and interest on the Loans and other amounts due hereunder to be due and payable as permitted by Article XI and even though such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Each Lender agrees that it shall not, without the express consent of the Requisite Lenders, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of the Requisite Lenders, exercise its setoff rights hereunder against any accounts of the Borrower or any Qualified Borrower now or hereafter maintained with such Lender or any Affiliate.

14.6 Ratable Sharing. The Lenders agree among themselves that (i) with respect to all amounts received by them which are applicable to the payment of the Obligations (excluding the repayment of Money Market Loans to a particular Money Market Lender and the fees described in Sections 3.1(g), 5.2(f), and 5.3 and Article XIII) equitable adjustment will be made so that, in effect, all such amounts will be shared among them ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, whether received by voluntary payment, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross-action or by the enforcement of any or all of the Obligations (excluding the repayment of Money Market Loans to a particular Money Market Lender and the fees described in Sections 3.1(g), 5.2(f), and 5.3 and Article XIII), (ii) if any of them shall by voluntary payment or by the exercise of any right of counterclaim, setoff, banker’s lien or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of the Obligations held by it, which is greater than the amount which such Lender is entitled to receive hereunder, the Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (which it shall be deemed to have done simultaneously upon the receipt of such payment) in such Obligations owed to the others so that all such recoveries with respect to such Obligations shall be applied ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided, however, that if all or part of such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such party to the extent necessary to adjust for such recovery, but without interest except to the extent the purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with such recovery. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 14.6 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including, subject to Section 14.5, the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

111

14.7 Amendments and Waivers.

(a) General Provisions. Unless otherwise provided for or required in this Agreement, no amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be effective without the written agreement of the Requisite Lenders (which the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to grant or withhold in their sole discretion) and the Borrower; provided, however, that the Borrower’s agreement shall not be required for any amendment or modification of Sections 12.1 through 12.8. No termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall be effective without the written concurrence of the Requisite Lenders, which the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to grant or withhold in their sole discretion. All amendments, waivers and consents not specifically reserved to the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the other Co-Agents or the other Lenders in Section 14.7(b), 14.7(c), and in other provisions of this Agreement shall require only the approval of the Requisite Lenders. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Designating Lender on behalf of its Designated Bank affected thereby, (a) subject such Designated Bank to any additional obligations, (b) reduce the principal of, interest on, or other amounts due with respect to, the Designated Bank Note made payable to such Designated Bank, or (c) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, or other amounts due with respect to the Designated Bank Note made payable to the Designated Bank.

(b) Amendments, Consents and Waivers by Affected Lenders. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the following provisions of this Agreement shall be effective only by a written agreement, signed by each Lender affected thereby as described below:

(i) waiver of any of the conditions specified in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 (except with respect to a condition based upon another provision of this Agreement, the waiver of which requires only the concurrence of the Requisite Lenders),

(ii) increase or non-pro rata reduction in the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment,

(iii) reduction of the principal of, rate or amount of interest on the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations, or any fees or other amounts payable to such Lender (other than by the payment or prepayment thereof),

(iv) postponement or extension of any date (other than the Revolving Credit Termination Date postponement or extension of which is governed by Section 14.7(c)(i)) fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations or any fees or other amounts payable to such Lender (except with respect to any modifications of the

(d) Administrative Agent Authority. The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the written concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of that Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 14.7, no amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, unless made in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the Borrower shall have requested, in writing, that any Lender agree to an amendment, modification, waiver or consent with respect to any particular provision or provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and such Lender shall have failed to state, in writing, that it either agrees or disagrees (in full or in part) with all such requests (in the case of its statement of agreement, subject to satisfactory documentation and such other conditions it may specify) within twenty (20) days after such Lender receives such request, then, the Administrative Agent shall deliver a second request, in writing, to any such Lender(s), which second request shall include a legend, in capital letters, stating “FAILURE TO RESPOND, IN WRITING, TO THIS REQUEST WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS AFTER RECEIPT MAY RESULT IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT CONSENTING OR DENYING CONSENT TO SUCH REQUEST ON YOUR BEHALF”. If such Lender shall have failed to state, in writing, that it

113

either agrees or disagrees (in full or in part) with all such requests (in the case of its statement of agreement, subject to satisfactory documentation and such other conditions it may specify) within ten (10) days after such Lender receives such request, then, such Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to agree or disagree, in full or in part, and in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, to such requests on behalf of such Lender as such Lenders’ attorney-in-fact and to execute and deliver any writing approved by the Administrative Agent which evidences such agreement as such Lender’s duly authorized agent for such purposes.

14.8 Notices. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and may be personally served, sent by facsimile transmission or by courier service and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person or by courier service, or upon receipt of a facsimile transmission. Notices to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Articles II, IV or XII shall not be effective until received by the Administrative Agent. For the purposes hereof, the addresses of the parties hereto (until notice of a change thereof is delivered as provided in this Section 14.8) shall be as set forth below each party’s name on the signature pages hereof or the signature page of any applicable Assignment and Acceptance, or, as to each party, at such other address as may be designated by such party in a written notice to all of the other parties to this Agreement.

14.10 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or any other Agent in the exercise of any power, right or privilege under any of the Loan Documents shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under the Loan Documents are cumulative to and not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise available.

14.11 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. None of the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or any other Co-Agent shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Borrower or any Qualified Borrower or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that the Borrower or any Qualified Borrower makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent, any Agent or any other Lender or any such Person exercises its rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and

114

all Liens, right and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

14.12 Severability. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

14.16 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and permitted assigns of the Lenders. The rights hereunder of the Borrower or any Qualified Borrower, or any interest therein, may not be assigned without the prior written consent of all Lenders.

(ii) THE BORROWER AND EACH QUALIFIED BORROWER AGREES THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO PROCEED AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTY IN A COURT IN ANY LOCATION NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE TO ENABLE THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE OTHER LENDERS TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER ENTERED IN FAVOR OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OTHER LENDER. THE BORROWER AND EACH QUALIFIED BORROWER AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT ANY PERMISSIVE COUNTERCLAIMS IN ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER AGENT TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR ANY SUCH OTHER AGENT.

14.18 Counterparts; Effectiveness; Inconsistencies. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents, or supplements hereto may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective against the Borrower and each Lender on the Closing Date. This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to the extent reasonable to be consistent one with the other, but to the extent that the terms and conditions of this Agreement are actually inconsistent with the terms and conditions of any other Loan Document, this Agreement shall govern. In the event the Lenders enter into any co-lender agreement with the Arrangers pertaining to the Lenders’ respective rights with respect to voting on any matter referenced in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on which the Lenders have a right to vote under the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, such co-lender agreement shall be construed to the extent reasonable to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, but to the extent that the terms and conditions of such co-lender agreement are actually inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents, such co-lender agreement shall govern. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any rights reserved to the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers or the Co-Agents under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be varied or in any way affected by such co-lender agreement and the rights and obligation of the Borrower under the Loan Documents will not be varied.

14.19 Limitation on Agreements. All agreements between the Borrower, each Qualified Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Arranger, each Co-Agent and each Lender in the Loan Documents are hereby expressly limited so that in no event shall any of the Loans or other amounts payable by the Borrower or a Qualified Borrower under any of the Loan Documents be directly or indirectly secured (within the meaning of Regulation U) by Margin Stock.

14.20 Confidentiality. Subject to Section 14.1(g), the Lenders shall hold all nonpublic information obtained pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement, and identified as such by the Borrower, in accordance with such Lender’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices (provided that such Lender may share such information with its (i) Affiliates, its partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, administrators, managers, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be

117

informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (iii) to any other party hereto, and (iv) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder) and in any event the Lenders may make disclosure reasonably required by a bona fide or potential offeree, transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated transfer or participation or as required or requested by any Governmental Authority, self regulatory body or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process and shall require any such offeree, transferee or participant to agree (and require any of its offerees, transferees or participants to agree) to comply with this Section 14.20. In no event shall any Lender be obligated or required to return any materials furnished by the Borrower; provided, however, each offeree shall be required to agree that if it does not become a transferee or participant it shall return all materials furnished to it by the Borrower in connection with this Agreement. Unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender and each Co-Agent shall make reasonable efforts to notify Borrower of any request by any governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of such Lender by such governmental agency) for disclosure of any such nonpublic information prior to disclosure of such information. Lenders also may make disclosure to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to Borrower received by it from any Co-Agent or any Lender, and disclosures in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Credit Document.

None of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the other Co-Agents or the other Lenders shall be deemed to be in privity of contract with any contractor or provider of services to any Project, nor shall any payment of funds directly to a contractor or subcontractor or provider of services be deemed to create any third party beneficiary status or recognition of same by any of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the other Co-Agents or the other Lenders and the Borrower agrees to hold the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Co-Arrangers, the other Co-Agents and the other

118

Lenders harmless from any of the damages and expenses resulting from such a construction of the relationship of the parties or any assertion thereof.

14.22 No Bankruptcy Proceedings. Each of the Borrower, all Qualified Borrowers, the Arrangers, the Co-Agents and the other Lenders hereby agrees that it will not institute against any Designated Bank or join any other Person in instituting against any Designated Bank any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, until the later to occur of (i) one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Designated Bank and (ii) the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

14.25 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 5.3;

(b) the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 14.7, except that the Defaulting Lender’s consent shall be required in connection with any increase or extension in such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to Section 14.7(b)(ii), any amendment pursuant to Section 14.7(b)(iii) or (iv) affecting its Loans or pursuant to Section 14.7(c)(i) with respect to postponing the Revolving Credit Termination Date only), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;

(i) all or any part of such liability with respect to Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Obligations plus such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments (it being understood that under no circumstance shall any Lender at any time be liable for any amounts in excess of its Revolving Credit

119

Commitment), and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 2.1 are satisfied at such time; and

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within five (5) Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Swingline Loans and (y) second, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Pro rata Share of Letters of Credit (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.4 for so long as such Letters of Credit are outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 14.25(c), the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Letters of Credit during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Letters of Credit is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the Pro Rata Share of the non-Defaulting Lenders with respect to Letters of Credit is reallocated pursuant to Section 14.25(c), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Shares; or

(v) if any Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Letters of Credit is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to Section 14.25(c), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all Facility Fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment that was utilized by such Pro Rata Share of Letters of Credit) and shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such Pro Rata Share of Letters of Credit is cash collateralized and/or reallocated; and

(d) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 14.25(c), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 14.25(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Parent of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank

120

shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Pro Rata Shares of the Lenders with respect to Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share.

14.26 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.9, Article III, 2.1(c), 4.2 or 14.3, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, unless subject to a good faith dispute, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under such Sections; in the case of each of (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

14.27 Judgment Currency. (a) If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so under applicable law, that the rate of exchange used shall be the spot rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the first currency could be purchased in New York City with such other currency by the person obtaining such judgment on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

(b) The parties agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so under applicable law, that the obligations of the Borrower and Qualified Borrower to make payments in any currency of the principal of and interest on the Loans of Borrower or any Qualified Borrower and any other amounts due from Borrower or any Qualified Borrower hereunder to the Administrative Agent as provided herein (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with Section 14.27(a)), in any currency other than the relevant currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt by the Administrative Agent at its relevant office on behalf of the Lenders of the full amount of the relevant currency expressed to be payable in respect of the principal of and interest on the Loans and all other amounts due hereunder (it being assumed for purposes of this clause (i) that the Administrative Agent will convert any amount tendered or recovered into the relevant currency on the date of such tender or recovery), (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in the relevant currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt

121

shall fall short of the full amount of the relevant currency so expressed to be payable and (iii) shall not be affected by an unrelated judgment being obtained for any other sum due under this Agreement.

14.28 Guarantors. The Borrower may designate as guarantors one or more parties (“Guarantors”) who (x) are to receive distributions of the proceeds of Loans hereunder in connection with a future merger, acquisition or similar transaction between the Borrower and its Affiliates on the one hand and such parties and their Affiliates on the other hand, with respect to such Loans, subject to the consummation of such merger, acquisition or similar transaction and provided that there shall be no Event of Default outstanding both before and immediately after giving effect to such merger, acquisition or similar transaction , or (y) have received distributions of the proceeds of Loans made pursuant to the Existing Revolving Credit Facility in connection with a merger, acquisition or similar transactions previously consummated between the Borrower and its Affiliates on the one hand and such parties and their Affiliates on the other hand, which Loans are being refinanced with the proceeds of Loans made hereunder, with respect to such new Loans. The guarantees executed by the Guarantors pursuant to this Section 14.28 (“Guarantees”) shall not exceed $1,000,000,000 in the aggregate. The Guarantees shall be guarantees of collection and not guarantees of payment, shall otherwise be substantially in the form attached as Exhibit M hereto, and shall be acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, effective upon their execution by the Guarantors.
