THE CREDIT FACILITIES

Section 2.01 Commitments to Lend.

(a) Revolving Loans. Each Revolving Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.01(a) from time to time during the Availability Period (which Revolving Loans shall be R-1 Revolving Loans to the extent funded, or deemed funded, under R-1 Revolving Commitments and R-2 Revolving Loans to the extent funded, or deemed funded, under R-2 Revolving Commitments) in amounts such that its Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed (after giving effect to all Revolving Loans repaid, all reimbursements of LC Disbursements made, and all Refunded Swingline Loans paid concurrently with the making of any Revolving Loans) its Revolving Commitment; provided that, immediately after giving effect to each such Revolving Loan, (i) the aggregate Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the lesser of the Revolving Committed Amount and $20,000,000, and (ii) with respect to each Revolving Lender individually, such Lender’s outstanding Revolving Loans plus its (other than the Swingline Lender’s in its capacity as such) Participation Interests in outstanding Swingline Loans plus its Participation Interests in outstanding LC Obligations shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Committed Amount. Each Revolving Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or any larger multiple of $100,000 (except that any such Borrowing may be in the aggregate amount of the unused Revolving Commitments) and shall be made from the several Revolving Lenders ratably in proportion to their respective Revolving Commitments (and pro rata under their R-1 Revolving Commitments and R-2 Revolving Commitments based on the respective amounts thereof). Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(a), repay, or, to the extent permitted by Section 2.09, prepay, Revolving Loans and reborrow under this Section 2.01(a).

(b) Term B Loans. As of the First Amendment Effective Date, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Term B Loan is $188,849,373.40 (the “Existing Term B Loan”). Each Consenting Lender agrees that its Existing Term B Loan shall be designated a “Term B-2 Loan” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Finance Documents. The outstanding principal balance of the Existing Term B Loan held by Non-Consenting Lenders as of the First Amendment Effective Date shall be designated “Term B-1 Loans” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Finance Documents. As of the First Amendment Effective Date, after giving effect to the foregoing, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of Term B-1 Loans is $39,277,052.91 and the aggregate outstanding principal balance of Term B-2 Loans is $149,572,320.49, each of which is held by the Lenders as designated in the Register. Loans from time to time made under the Delayed Draw Term B Commitments shall be designated Term B-3 Loans for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Finance Documents. Term B-3 Loans shall be made from the several Term B Lenders holding Delayed Draw Term B Commitments ratably in proportion to their respective Delayed Draw Term B Commitments in accordance with Section 2.01(d). Once designated a Term X-0 Xxxx, Xxxx X-0 Loan or Term B-3 Loan or Delayed Draw Term B Commitment, as applicable, the portion of the Term B Loan or Commitment, as applicable, so designated shall maintain such designation until the applicable Term B Loan has been repaid in full or the applicable Commitment expires or is terminated, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement regardless of the holder thereof. Term B Loans are not revolving in nature, and amounts repaid or prepaid in respect thereof may not be reborrowed.

(c) Swingline Loans.

(i) The Swingline Lender agrees, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the other Senior Finance Documents, to make a portion of the Revolving Commitments available to the Borrower from time to time prior to the expiration or termination of the

- 46 -

Revolving Commitments in full by making Swingline Loans to the Borrower in Dollars (each such loan, a “Swingline Loan” and, collectively, the “Swingline Loans”); provided that (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans outstanding at any one time shall not exceed the Swingline Committed Amount, (B) with regard to each Lender individually (other than the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such), such Lender’s outstanding Revolving Loans plus its Participation Interests in outstanding Swingline Loans plus its Participation Interests in outstanding LC Obligations shall not at any time exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Committed Amount, (C) with regard to the Revolving Lenders collectively, the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding plus the aggregate amount of Revolving Loans outstanding plus the aggregate amount of LC Obligations outstanding shall not exceed the lesser of the Revolving Committed Amount and $20,000,000 and (D) the Swingline Committed Amount shall not exceed the aggregate of the Revolving Commitments then in effect. Swingline Loans shall be made and maintained as Base Rate Loans and may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof prior to the Swingline Termination Date. Swingline Loans may be made notwithstanding the fact that such Swingline Loans, when aggregated with the Swingline Lender’s other Revolving Outstandings, exceeds its Revolving Commitment. The proceeds of a Swingline Borrowing may not be used, in whole or in part, to refund any prior Swingline Borrowing.

(ii) The principal amount of all Swingline Loans shall be due and payable on the earliest of (A) the Swingline Termination Date, (B) the occurrence of a bankruptcy or similar proceeding with respect to the Borrower or (C) the acceleration of any Loan or the termination of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 8.02.

(iii) With respect to any Swingline Loans that have not been voluntarily prepaid by the Borrower or paid by the Borrower when due under clause (ii) above, the Swingline Lender (by request to the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative Agent at any time may, on one Business Day’s notice, require each Revolving Lender, including the Swingline Lender, and each such Lender hereby agrees, subject to the provisions of this Section 2.01(c), to make a Revolving Loan (which shall be initially funded as a Base Rate Loan) in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the amount of the Swingline Loans (the “Refunded Swingline Loans”) outstanding on the date notice is given.

(iv) In the case of Revolving Loans made by Lenders other than the Swingline Lender under clause (iii) above, each such Revolving Lender shall make the amount of its Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent, in same day funds, at the Administrative Agent’s Office, not later than 1:00 P.M. on the Business Day next succeeding the date such notice is given. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be immediately delivered to the Swingline Lender (and not to the Borrower) and applied to repay the Refunded Swingline Loans. On the day such Revolving Loans are made, the Swingline Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Refunded Swingline Loans shall be deemed to be paid with the proceeds of a Revolving Loan made by the Swingline Lender and such portion of the Swingline Loans deemed to be so paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swingline Loans and shall instead be outstanding as Revolving Loans. The Borrower authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender to charge the Borrower’s account with the Administrative Agent (up to the amount available in such account) in order to pay immediately to the Swingline Lender the amount of such Refunded Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from the Revolving Lenders, including amounts deemed to be received from the Swingline Lender, are not sufficient to repay in full such Refunded Swingline Loans. If any portion of any such amount paid (or deemed to be paid) to the Swingline Lender should be recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower from the Swingline Lender in bankruptcy, by assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all Revolving Lenders in the manner contemplated by Section 2.13.

- 47 -

(v) A copy of each notice given by the Swingline Lender pursuant to this Section 2.01(c) shall be promptly delivered by the Swingline Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Upon the making of a Revolving Loan by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this Section 2.01(c), the amount so funded shall no longer be owed in respect of its Participation Interest in the related Refunded Swingline Loans.

(vi) If as a result of any bankruptcy or similar proceeding, Revolving Loans are not made pursuant to this Section 2.01(c) sufficient to repay any amounts owed to the Swingline Lender as a result of a nonpayment of outstanding Swingline Loans, each Revolving Lender agrees to purchase, and shall be deemed to have purchased, a participation in such outstanding Swingline Loans in an amount equal to its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the unpaid amount together with accrued interest thereon. Upon one Business Day’s notice from the Swingline Lender, each Revolving Lender shall deliver to the Swingline Lender an amount equal to its respective Participation Interest in such Swingline Loans in same day funds at the office of the Swingline Lender specified or referred to in Section 10.01. In order to evidence such Participation Interest each Revolving Lender agrees to enter into a participation agreement at the request of the Swingline Lender in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to all parties. In the event any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Swingline Lender the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Participation Interest as provided in this Section 2.01(c)(vi), the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender together with interest at the customary rate set by the Swingline Lender for correction of errors among banks in New York City for one Business Day and thereafter at the Base Rate plus the then Applicable Margin for R-2 Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans.

(vii) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to clause (iv) above and to purchase Participation Interests in outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to clause (vi) above shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (without limitation) (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender or any other Person may have against the Swingline Lender, the Borrower, Holdings or any other Credit Party, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the termination or reduction in the amount of the Revolving Commitments after any such Swingline Loans were made, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, Holdings or any other Person, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Senior Finance Document by the Borrower or any other Lender, (v) whether any condition specified in Article IV is then satisfied or (vi) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the forgoing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Swingline Lender’s demand therefor, and until such time as such Lender makes the required payment, the Swingline Lender shall be deemed to continue to have outstanding Swingline Loans in the amount of such unpaid Participation Interest for all purposes of the Senior Finance Documents other than those provisions requiring the other Lenders to purchase a participation therein. Further, such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Loans, and any other amounts due to it hereunder to the Swingline Lender to fund Swingline Loans in the amount of the Participation Interest in Swingline Loans that such Lender failed to purchase pursuant to this Section 2.01(c)(vii) until such amount has been purchased (as a result of such assignment or otherwise).

(d) Term B-3 Loans. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, each Term B Lender with a Delayed Draw Term B Commitment severally agrees to make loans to Borrower from time to time after the First Amendment Effective Date but prior to the Delayed Draw Term B Commitment Termination Date as set forth herein (each a “Term B-3 Loan”) equal to such Term B Lender’s Delayed Draw Term B Commitment Percentage of Term B-3 Loans requested by Borrower hereunder, provided that after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal balance of Term B-3 Loans that have been funded pursuant to this Section 2.01(d) shall not exceed $30,000,000 (as such amount may

- 48 -

be reduced, if at all, by reductions in the Delayed Draw Term B Commitments in accordance with the last sentence of the definition thereof). Each Term B Lender with a Delayed Draw Term B Commitment shall, on a several basis and not jointly with any other Lender, fund its portion of Term B-3 Loans requested by Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement directly to Administrative Agent for application to the Principal Amortization Payment on account of the Term B-1 Loans required to be satisfied with the proceeds of such Term B-3 Loan in accordance with the conditions precedent to funding Term B-3 Loans set forth below; provided that (i) notwithstanding the funding of Term B-3 Loans directly to Administrative Agent, such Term B-3 Loans shall be deemed borrowed by and made to Borrower for all purposes hereunder and Borrower hereby directs Administrative Agent to so apply the proceeds of such Term B-3 Loan to each Applicable Principal Amortization Payment and (ii) such funding shall only be required to be made prior to the Delayed Draw Term B Commitment Termination Date. On the Delayed Draw Term B Commitment Termination Date, one hundred percent of the unfunded portion of the Delayed Draw Term B Commitments shall immediately and irrevocably terminate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Financing Document, both before and after the Delayed Draw Term B Commitment Termination Date, all amounts repaid or prepaid on account of Term B-3 Loans may not be reborrowed. No provision of this Section 2.01(d) or the definitions of “Applicable Principal Amortization Payments,” “Delayed Draw Term B Commitment,” “Delayed Draw Term B Commitment Percentage,” “Delayed Draw Term B Commitment Termination Date” or “Required Term B-3 Lenders” shall be amended or otherwise modified without the written consent of Borrower, Administrative Agent and Required Term B-3 Lenders. Term B-3 Loans shall only be available in four (4) draws on each of June 30, 2010, September 30, 2010, December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011 (or on the applicable Business Day on which the corresponding Applicable Principal Amortization Payment is due and payable in accordance with Section 2.14(a)). The proceeds of each Term B-3 Loan shall be used solely to satisfy the Applicable Principal Amortization Payment due and payable on the proposed date of funding.

The obligation of the Lenders holding unfunded Delayed Draw Term B Commitments to Borrower to fund a Term B-3 Loan is subject to the satisfaction of all of the following conditions precedent (unless waived by Administrative Agent and Required Term B-3 Lenders):

(i) the amount of each funding of a Term B-3 Loan shall not exceed, the Applicable Principal Amortization Payment due and payable on the proposed date of funding;

(ii) Administrative Agent shall have received a Notice of Borrowing requesting the making of the applicable Term B-3 Loan, duly executed and completed, no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of funding such Term B-3 Loan;

(iv) the representations and warranties made by the Credit Parties in any Senior Financing Document are true and correct in all material respects at and as if made as of the applicable date of funding such Term B-3 Loan except to the extent they expressly relate to an earlier date; and

(v) Borrower shall have delivered to Administrative Agent no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of funding such Term B-3 Loan a certificate signed by the chief financial officer or other appropriate Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying that all of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.01(d) have been satisfied and correctly and accurately demonstrating, pursuant to calculations in form and detail reasonably acceptable to

- 49 -

Administrative Agent, pro forma compliance with the financial covenants contained in Section 7.17, as in effect on the First Amendment Effective Date or as otherwise modified or amended with the consent of Required Lenders and Required Term B-3 Lenders (based on the covenant testing levels at the end of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the proposed date of funding) after giving effect to the making of such Term B-3 Loan (it being agreed that, in calculating such pro forma financial covenant compliance, (x) Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Fixed Charges, Consolidated Capital Expenditures and Consolidated Cash Interest Expense shall be calculated for the twelve (12) month period ending on the last day of the most recent month for which financial statements pursuant to Section 6.01(c) have been delivered to Administrative Agent and Lenders, (y) the amount of Debt constituting Consolidated Funded Debt, Junior Debentures and Subordinated Seller Paper shall be determined as of the proposed date of funding such Term B-3 Loan and (z) Consolidated Cash Interest Expense shall be determined as if all fundings of Term B-3 Loans on and prior to the proposed date of funding such Term B-3 Loan had been funded on the first day of the 12-month period described in the preceding clause (x) in lieu of (and not in addition to) the Term B-1 Loan Principal Amortization Payments satisfied with the proceeds of such Term B-3 Loan fundings.

The delivery of each Notice of Borrowing with respect to the making of Term B-3 Loans shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Credit Parties of the correctness of the matters specified in clauses (i), (iii), (iv) and (v) above.

Section 2.02 Notice of Borrowings.

(a) Borrowings Other Than Swingline Loans. Except in the case of Swingline Loans, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent a Notice of Borrowing (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by a Notice of Borrowing) not later than 12 noon on (i) the Business Day of each Base Rate Borrowing and (ii) the third Business Day before each Eurodollar Borrowing (and in any event, with respect to Term B-3 Loans, within the time periods prescribed by Section 2.01(d)). Each such Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify:

(A) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(B) the aggregate principal amount of such Borrowing;

- 50 -

(b) Swingline Borrowings. The Borrower shall request a Swingline Loan by written notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed in writing) substantially in the form of Exhibit A-4 hereto (a “Swingline Loan Request”) to the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 12 Noon on the Business Day of the requested Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) that a Swingline Loan is requested, (ii) the date of the requested Swingline Loan (which shall be a Business Day) and (iii) the principal amount of the Swingline Loan requested and, (iv) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.03. Each Swingline Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan.

Section 2.03 Notice to Lenders; Funding of Loans.

(a) Notice to Lenders. Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such Lender’s ratable share (if any) of the Borrowing referred to therein.

(b) Funding of Loans.

(i) On the date of each Borrowing (other than a Swingline Borrowing), each Lender participating therein shall make available its share of such Borrowing, in Federal or other immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office. Unless the Administrative Agent determines that any applicable condition specified in Article IV has not been satisfied, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute the proceeds to an account designated by the Borrower from time to time in the Applicable Notice of Borrowing (provided such account is the subject of an Account Control Agreement (as defined in the Security Agreement) and is in full force and effect at the date thereof), or if not so identified, credit the amounts so received to the general deposit account of the Borrower with the Administrative Agent or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein shall not have been met, promptly return the amounts received from the Lenders in like funds; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, proceeds of Term B-3 Loans shall be retained by Administrative Agent and used by Administrative Agent to satisfy, on behalf of Borrower (and Borrower hereby so directs), the Term B-1 Loan Principal Amortization Payment required to be satisfied with the proceeds of such funding of Term B-3 Loans in accordance with the conditions precedent to funding Term B-3 Loans set forth in Section 2.01(d).

(ii) Not later than 3:00 P.M. on the date of each Swingline Borrowing, the Swingline Lender shall, unless the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Swingline Lender that any applicable condition specified in Article IV has not been satisfied, make available the amount of such Swingline Borrowing, in Dollars in Federal or other immediately available funds, to the Borrower at an account designated by the Borrower from time to time in the Swingline Loan Request (provided such account is the subject of an Account Control Agreement (as defined in the Security Agreement) and is in full force and effect at the date thereof), or if not so identified, to the Borrower at the Swingline Lender’s address referred to in Section 10.01.

(c) Funding by the Administrative Agent in Anticipation of Amounts Due from the Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section 2.03, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so

- 51 -

made such share available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith within two Business Days of such corresponding amount, together with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) a rate per annum equal to the higher of the Federal Funds Rate and the interest rate applicable thereto pursuant to Section 2.06, in the case of the Borrower, and (ii) the Federal Funds Rate, in the case of such Lender. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

(d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The failure of any Lender to make a Loan required to be made by it as part of any Borrowing hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make any Loan on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on such date of Borrowing.

(e) Failed Loans. If any Lender shall fail to make any Loan (a “Failed Loan”) which such Lender is otherwise obligated hereunder to make to the Borrower on the date of Borrowing thereof, and the Administrative Agent shall not have received notice from the Borrower or such Lender that any condition precedent to the making of the Failed Loan has not been satisfied, then, until such Lender shall have made or be deemed to have made (pursuant to the last sentence of this subsection (e)) the Failed Loan in full or the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower or such Lender that any condition precedent to the making of the Failed Loan was not satisfied at the time the Failed Loan was to have been made, whenever the Administrative Agent shall receive any amount from the Borrower for the account of such Lender, (i) the amount so received (up to the amount of such Failed Loan) will, upon receipt by the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been paid to the Lender in satisfaction of the obligation for which paid, without actual disbursement of such amount to the Lender, (ii) the Lender will be deemed to have made the same amount available to the Administrative Agent for disbursement as a Loan to the Borrower (up to the amount of such Failed Loan) and (iii) the Administrative Agent will disburse such amount (up to the amount of the Failed Loan) to the Borrower or, if the Administrative Agent has previously made such amount available to the Borrower on behalf of such Lender pursuant to the provisions hereof, reimburse itself (up to the amount of the amount made available to the Borrower); provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to disburse any such amount to the Borrower or otherwise apply it or deem it applied as provided herein unless the Administrative Agent shall have determined in its sole discretion that to so disburse such amount will not violate any law, rule, regulation or requirement applicable to the Administrative Agent. Upon any such disbursement by the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan of the same Class as the Failed Loan to the Borrower in satisfaction, to the extent thereof, of such Lender’s obligation to make the Failed Loan.

Section 2.04 Evidence of Loans.

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

(b) Administrative Agent Records. The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type of each Loan made and the Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the

- 52 -

amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c) Evidence of Debt. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 2.04 shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans made to it in accordance with their terms.

(d) Notes. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall request and receive a Note or Notes as provided in Section 10.06 or otherwise, then the Loans of such Lender shall be evidenced by one or more Revolving Notes or Term B Notes, as applicable, in each case, substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 or B-2 as applicable, payable to the order of such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Lender’s Revolving Loan or Term B Loan, as applicable. If requested by the Swingline Lender, the Swingline Loans shall be evidenced by a single Swingline Note, substantially in the form of Exhibit B-3, payable to the order of the Swingline Lender in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Swingline Loans.

(e) Note Endorsements. Each Lender having one or more Notes issued by the Borrower shall record the date, amount, Class and Type of each Loan made by it to the Borrower evidenced by such Note and the date and amount of each payment of principal made by the Borrower with respect thereto, and may, if such Lender so elects in connection with any transfer or enforcement of any Note, endorse on the reverse side or on the schedule, if any, forming a part thereof appropriate notations to evidence the foregoing information with respect to each outstanding Loan evidenced thereby; provided that the failure of any Lender to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any such Note. Each Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Borrower so to endorse each of its Notes and to attach to and make a part of each of its Notes a continuation of any such schedule as and when required. All Notes outstanding as of the First Amendment Effective Date shall be deemed automatically updated to reflect whether the Loans and Commitments evidenced thereby are R-1 Revolving Loans, R-2 Revolving Loans, R-1 Revolving Commitments, R-2 Revolving Commitments, Term B-1 Loans or Term B-2 Loans based on whether the Lender holding such Notes is a Consenting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender as of such date.

Section 2.05 Letters of Credit.

(a) Existing Letters of Credit. On the Closing Date, each Issuing Lender that had issued an Existing Letter of Credit was deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have sold to each Revolving Lender, and each such Revolving Lender was deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have purchased from each such Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided participation interest in such Existing Letter of Credit and the related LC Obligations in the proportion its Revolving Commitment Percentage borne to the Revolving Committed Amount as in effect at such time (although any fronting fee payable under Section 2.11 was payable directly to the Administrative Agent for the accounting of each applicable Issuing Lender, and the Lenders (other than the applicable Issuing Lender) had no right to receive any portion of such fronting fee) and any security therefore or guaranty pertaining thereto. On and after the Closing Date, each Existing Letter of Credit constituted a Letter of Credit for all purposes hereof.

(b) Additional Letters of Credit. The Administrative Agent agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to issue letters of credit or guarantees (each an “LC Support Agreement”) to an Issuing Lender to induce such Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit denominated in

- 53 -

Dollars from time to time before the 30th day prior to the New Revolving Termination Date for the account, and upon the request, of the Borrower and in support of (i) trade obligations of the Borrower and/or its Subsidiaries, which shall be payable at sight (each such letter of credit, a “Trade Letter of Credit” and, collectively, the “Trade Letters of Credit”) and (ii) such other obligations of the Borrower that are acceptable to the Administrative Agent (each such letter of credit, a “Standby Letter of Credit” and, collectively, the “Standby Letters of Credit”); provided that, immediately after each Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the aggregate LC Obligations shall not exceed $15,000,000 (the “LC Committed Amount”), (ii) the Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the lesser of the Revolving Committed Amount and $20,000,000, and (iii) with respect to each individual Revolving Lender, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loans plus its Participation Interests in outstanding LC Obligations plus its (other than the Swingline Lender’s) Participation Interests in outstanding Swingline Loans shall not exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Committed Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the account party for each Additional Letter of Credit shall be the Borrower.

(c) Method of Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice substantially in the form of Exhibit A-3 hereto (a “Letter of Credit Request”) of the requested issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit prior to 1:00 P.M. (Chicago time) on the proposed date of the issuance or amendment of Trade Letters of Credit (which shall be a Business Day) and at least three Business Days before the proposed date of issuance or extension of Standby Letters of Credit (which shall be a Business Day) (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the applicable Issuing Lender in any particular instance). In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Request shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent: (i) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (ii) the amount thereof; (iii) the expiry date thereof; (iv) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (v) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (vi) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (vii) such other matters as the Administrative Agent may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Request shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent: (i) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (ii) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (iv) such other matters as the Administrative Agent may require. If requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall also submit a letter of credit application on the Administrative Agent’s standard form in connection with any request for a letter of credit. The extension or renewal of any Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be an issuance of such Letter of Credit. Subject to the provisions of the following paragraph with respect to Evergreen Letters of Credit, no Letter of Credit shall have a term of more than one year or shall have a term extending or be extendible beyond the fifth Business Day before the New Revolving Termination Date.

If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Request, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to induce an Issuing Lender to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Evergreen Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Evergreen Letter of Credit must permit the Issuing Lender to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Nonrenewal Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Administrative Agent for any such renewal. Once an Evergreen Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Issuing Lender to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to a date not later than the New Revolving Termination Date; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not permit any such renewal if (i) the

- 54 -

Issuing Lender would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof or (ii) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the Nonrenewal Notice Date (A) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Revolving Lenders have elected not to permit such renewal or (B) from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to permit the renewal of any Evergreen Letter of Credit at any time.

Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Lender will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(d) Conditions to Issuance of Additional Letters of Credit. The issuance by the Administrative Agent of an LC Support Agreement to induce an Issuing Lender to issue each Additional Letter of Credit shall, in addition to the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02, be subject to the conditions precedent that (i) such Letter of Credit shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Borrower shall have executed and delivered such other instruments and agreements relating to such Letter of Credit as the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably requested, (iii) on the date of (and after giving effect to) such issuance that (A) the aggregate amount of all LC Obligations will not exceed the LC Committed Amount and (B) the aggregate Revolving Outstandings will not exceed the lesser of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments and $20,000,000 and (iv) the Issuing Lender shall not have been notified by the Administrative Agent that any condition specified in Section 4.02(b) or (c) is not satisfied on the date such Additional Letter of Credit is to be issued. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.05, the Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation hereunder to issue any LC Support Agreement if: (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Administrative Agent from issuing such LC Support Agreement, or any requirement of Law applicable to the Administrative Agent or any request or directive (whether or not having a force of Law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent shall prohibit, or request that the Administrative Agent refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such LC Support Agreement in particular or shall impose upon the Administrative Agent with respect to such LC Support Agreement any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Administrative Agent is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the Administrative Agent any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the Administrative Agent in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it; or (ii) the issuance of such LC Support Agreement shall violate any applicable general policies of the Administrative Agent.

(e) Purchase and Sale of Letter of Credit Participations. Upon the issuance by an Issuing Lender of an Additional Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have sold to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have purchased from the Administrative Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided Participation Interest in the LC Support Agreement obligations in respect of such Additional Letter of Credit and the related LC Obligations in the proportion its Revolving Commitment Percentage bears to the Revolving Committed Amount (although any fronting fee payable under Section 2.11 shall be payable directly to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender, and the Lenders (other than such Issuing Lender) shall have no right to receive any portion of any such fronting fee) and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 10.06 and upon the Original Revolving Termination Date after giving effect to the termination of the R-1 Revolving Commitments on

- 55 -

such date, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the Participation Interests in all outstanding LC Support Agreements to reflect the adjusted Revolving Commitments of the assigning and assignee Lenders or of all Lenders having Revolving Commitments, as the case may be and/or in connection with such termination of the R-1 Revolving Commitments.

(f) Duties of Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent to Revolving Lenders; Reliance. In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit or LC Support Agreement, the relevant Issuing Lender or Administrative Agent as applicable shall not have any obligation relative to the Revolving Lenders participating in such Letter of Credit or any LC Support Agreement other than to determine that any document or documents required to be delivered under a Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent as applicable under or in connection with any LC Support Agreement or Letter of Credit shall not create for the Issuing Lender or Administrative Agent as applicable any resulting liability if taken or omitted in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent as applicable shall be entitled (but not obligated) to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, on the representation and warranty by the Borrower set forth in the last sentence of Section 4.02 to establish whether the conditions specified in paragraphs (b) and (c) of Section 4.02 are met in connection with any issuance or extension of an LC Support Agreement or a Letter of Credit. Each Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent as applicable shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by such Issuing Lender or Administrative Agent as applicable and upon any Letter of Credit, LC support Agreement draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopier, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary unless the beneficiary and the Borrower shall have notified such Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent as applicable that such documents do not comply with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit. Each Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in refusing to take any action requested of it under this Section 2.05 in respect of any Letter of Credit or any LC Support Agreement unless it shall first have received such advice or concurrence of the Required Revolving Lenders as it reasonably deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Revolving Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take, or omitting or continuing to omit, any such action. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.05, each Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent and shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Section 2.05 in respect of any LC Support Agreement or Letter of Credit or in accordance with a request of the Required Revolving Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant hereto shall be binding upon all Revolving Lenders and all future holders of participations in such LC Support Agreement or Letter of Credit.

(g) Reimbursement Obligations. The Borrower shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated forthwith to reimburse each Issuing Lender for any amounts paid by such Issuing Lender upon any drawing under any Existing Letter of Credit and reimburse the Administrative Agent upon any payment made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to an LC Support Agreement, together with any and all reasonable charges and expenses which the Issuing Lender or Administrative Agent respectively may pay or incur relative to such drawing or payment and interest on the amount drawn or paid at the rate applicable to R-2 Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans for each day from and including the date such amount is drawn or paid to but excluding the date such reimbursement payment is due and payable. Such reimbursement payment shall be due and payable (i) at or before 2:00 P.M. (Chicago time or the relevant local time, as applicable) on the third Business Day after the date the

- 56 -

Issuing Lender or Administrative Agent (as the case may be) notifies the Borrower of such drawing or payment; provided that no payment otherwise required by this sentence to be made by the Borrower at or before 2:00 P.M. (Chicago time or the relevant local time, as applicable) on any day shall be overdue hereunder if arrangements for such payment satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent, in its reasonable discretion, shall have been made by the Borrower at or before 2:00 P.M. (Chicago time or the relevant local time, as applicable) on such day and such payment is actually made at or before 3:00 P.M. (Chicago time or the relevant local time, as applicable) on such day. In addition to the foregoing, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuing Lender and Administrative Agent interest, payable on demand, on any and all amounts not paid by the Borrower to the Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent (as applicable) when due under this subsection (g), for each day from and including the date when such amount becomes due to but excluding the date such amount is paid in full, whether before or after judgment, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2.00% plus the rate applicable to R-2 Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans for such day. Subject to the satisfaction of all applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, the Borrower may, at its option, utilize the Swingline Commitment or the Revolving Commitments, or make other arrangements for payment satisfactory to the Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent, (as applicable) for the reimbursement of all LC Disbursements as required by this subsection (g). Each reimbursement payment to be made by the Borrower pursuant to this subsection (g) shall be made to the Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent (as applicable) in Federal or other funds immediately available to it at its address referred to in Section 10.01.

(h) Obligations of Revolving Lenders to Reimburse Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent for Unpaid LC Disbursements. If the Borrower shall not have reimbursed an Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in full for any LC Disbursement as required pursuant to subsection (g) of this Section 2.05, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender, (other than the relevant Issuing Lender), and each such Revolving Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Lender; or for itself as the case may be, such Revolving Lender’s pro-rata share of such unreimbursed LC Disbursement (each such Lender’s pro rata share of such LC Disbursement determined by the proportion its Revolving Commitment Percentage bears to the aggregate Revolving Committed Amount) in Dollars in Federal or other immediately available funds. Such payment from the Revolving Lender shall be due (i) at or before 1:00 P.M. (Chicago time) on the date the Administrative Agent so notifies a Revolving Lender, if such notice is given at or before 10:00 A.M. (Chicago time) on such date or (ii) at or before 10:00 A.M. (Chicago time) on the next succeeding Business Day, together with interest on such amount for each day from and including the date of such drawing to but excluding the day such payment is due from such Revolving Lender at the Federal Funds Rate for such day (which funds, in the case of a failure to reimburse an Issuing Lender under an Existing Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable Issuing Lender). The failure of any Revolving Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent its pro-rata share of any unreimbursed LC Disbursement shall not relieve any other Revolving Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent its pro-rata share of any payment made under any Letter of Credit or LC Support Agreement (as applicable) on the date required, as specified above, but no such Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent such other Lender’s pro-rata share of any such payment. Upon payment in full of all amounts payable by a Lender under this subsection (h), such Lender shall be subrogated to the rights of the Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent as applicable against the Borrower to the extent of such Lender’s pro-rata share of the related LC Obligation so paid (including interest accrued thereon). If any Revolving Lender fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it pursuant to this subsection (h) on the date on which such payment is due, interest shall accrue on such Lender’s obligation to make such payment, for each day from and including the date such payment became due to but excluding the date such Lender makes such payment, whether before or after

- 57 -

judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) for each day from the date such payment is due to the third succeeding Business Day, inclusive, the Federal Funds Rate for such day as determined by the relevant Issuing Lender and (ii) for each day thereafter, the sum of 2.00% plus the rate applicable to R-2 Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans for such day. Any payment made by any Lender after 3:00 P.M. on any Business Day shall be deemed for purposes of the preceding sentence to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day.

(i) Obligations in Respect of Letters of Credit Unconditional. The obligations of the Borrower under Section 2.05(g) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including, without limitation, the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement any LC Support Agreement, or any Letter of Credit or any document related hereto or thereto;

(ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of this Agreement, any LC Support Agreement, or any Letter of Credit or any document related hereto or thereto, in each case consented to by the Borrower;

(iii) the use which may be made of the Letter of Credit by, or any acts or omission of, a beneficiary of a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom the beneficiary may be acting);

(iv) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other rights that the Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary of a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom the beneficiary may be acting), the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any LC Support Agreement or any Letter of Credit or any document related hereto or thereto or any unrelated transaction;

(v) any statement or any other document presented under an LC Support Agreement or a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever;

(vi) payment under a Letter of Credit against presentation to an Issuing Lender of a draft or certificate that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; provided that the relevant Issuing Lender’s determination that documents presented under such Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender; or

(vii) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this subsection (vii), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

(j) Designation of Subsidiaries as Account Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, an LC Support Agreement or Letter of Credit issued hereunder may contain a statement to the effect that such Letter of Credit is issued for the account of a Subsidiary of the Borrower; provided that notwithstanding such statement, the Borrower shall be the actual account party for all purposes of this Agreement for such Letter of Credit and such statement shall not affect the Borrower’s reimbursement obligations hereunder with respect to such Letter of Credit.

- 58 -

(k) Modification and Extension. The issuance of any supplement, restatement, modification, amendment, renewal, or extensions to any LC Support Agreement or Letter of Credit shall, for purposes hereof, be treated in all respects the same as a Credit Extension hereunder.

(l) Uniform Customs and Practices. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower when an LC Support Agreement is issued in support of a Letter of Credit (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each Standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) at the time of issuance (including the ICC decision published by the Commission on Banking Technique and Practice on April 6, 1998 regarding the European single currency (euro)) shall apply to each Trade Letter of Credit.

(m) Responsibility of Issuing Lenders. It is expressly understood and agreed that the obligations of the Issuing Lenders and Administrative Agent hereunder to the Revolving Lenders are only those expressly set forth in this Agreement and that each Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied unless it shall have acquired actual knowledge that any such condition precedent has not been satisfied; provided, however, that nothing set forth in this Section 2.05 shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Revolving Lender to recover from any Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent any amounts made available by such Revolving Lender to such Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.05 in the event that it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the payment with respect to a Letter of Credit or an LC Support Agreement constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender or Administrative Agent (as applicable).

(n) Conflict with LC Documents. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any LC Document, this Agreement shall govern.

(o) Indemnification of Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent.

(i) In addition to its other obligations under this Agreement, the Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that the Administrative Agent and Issuing Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (A) the issuance of any LC Support Agreement or Letter of Credit as applicable or (B) the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender to honor a drawing under an LC Support Agreement or 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 (all such acts or omissions, herein called “Government Acts”).

(ii) As between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or each Issuing Lender, the Borrower shall assume all risks of the acts or omissions of or the misuse of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. The Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for: (A) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any LC Support Agreement or Letter 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 or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, that may prove to be invalid

- 59 -

or ineffective for any reason; (C) failure of the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon a Letter of Credit; (D) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (E) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (F) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any documents required in order to make a drawing under a Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; and (G) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender, including, without limitation, any Government Acts. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of the Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender’s rights or powers hereunder.

(iii) In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or an Issuing Lender, under or in connection with any LC Support Agreement or Letter of Credit or the related certificates, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put the Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender under any resulting liability to the Borrower or any other Credit Party other than for gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. It is the intention of the parties that this Agreement shall be construed and applied to protect and indemnify the Administrative Agent or Issuing Lenders against any and all risks involved in the issuance of any LC Support Agreement or Letter of Credit, all of which risks are hereby assumed by the Credit Parties, including, without limitation, any and all risks, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future Government Acts. The Administrative Agent or Issuing Lenders shall not, in any way, be liable for any failure by the Administrative Agent or Issuing Lenders or anyone else to pay any drawing under any LC Support Agreement or Letter of Credit as a result of any Government Acts or any other cause beyond the control of the Issuing Lenders.

(iv) Nothing in this subsection (o) is intended to limit the reimbursement obligation of the Borrower contained in this Section 2.05. The obligations of the Borrower under this subsection (o) shall survive the termination of this Agreement. No act or omission of any current or prior beneficiary of a Letter of Credit shall in any way affect or impair the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender to enforce any right, power or benefit under this Agreement.

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection (o), the Borrower shall not have any obligation to indemnify the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender in respect of any liability to the extent incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender arising solely out of the gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender, respectively, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Agreement shall relieve Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender of any liability to the Borrower in respect of any action taken by the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender which action constitutes gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender or a violation of the UCP or Uniform Commercial Code, as applicable, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(p) Cash Collateral. If the Borrower is required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to Cash Collateralize any LC Obligations, the Borrower shall deposit in an account (which may be an XX Xxxx Collateral Account under the Security Agreement) with the Collateral Agent an amount in Dollars in cash equal to 105% of such LC Obligations. Such deposit shall be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the LC Obligations. The Collateral Agent shall have exclusive control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over each collateral account referred to in this subsection (p). The Collateral Agent will, at the request of the Borrower, invest amounts deposited in such account in Cash Equivalents; provided, however, that (i) the Collateral Agent

- 60 -

shall not be required to make any investment that, in its sole judgment, would require or cause the Collateral Agent to be in, or would result in any, violation of any Law, (ii) such Cash Equivalents shall be subjected to a first priority perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent and (iii) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the selection of such Cash Equivalents shall be in the sole discretion of the Collateral Agent. The Borrower shall indemnify the Collateral Agent for any losses relating to such investments in Cash Equivalents. Other than any interest or profits earned on such investments, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Collateral Agent to reimburse the Issuing Lenders immediately for drawings under the applicable Letters of Credit and reimburse the Administrative Agent immediately for payments under the applicable LC Support Agreement and, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, to satisfy the LC Obligations of the Borrower. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of an Event of Default, such amount together with any interest or profits earned thereon (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.08(a) or 2.09(b)(i), such amount together with any interest or profits earned thereon (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower upon demand; provided that, after giving effect to the return, (i) the aggregate Revolving Outstandings would not exceed the lesser of the Revolving Committed Amount and $20,000,000 and (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. If the Borrower is required to deposit an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.09(b) (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), or (vii), interest or profits thereon (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower after the full amount of such deposit has been applied by the Collateral Agent to reimburse the Issuing Lender for drawings under Letters of Credit and the Administrative Agent for payments under LC Support Agreements. The Borrower hereby pledges and assigns to the Collateral Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the Finance Parties, each cash collateral account established by it hereunder (and all monies and investments held therein) to secure its Finance Obligations.

(q) Resignation or Removal of an Issuing Lender. An Issuing Lender may resign at any time by giving 60 days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders and the Borrower; provided, however, that such resignation shall not affect the status of any outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such resigning Issuing Lender as set forth in subsection (r) below. Upon any such resignation, the Borrower shall (within 60 days after such notice of resignation) either appoint a successor, or terminate the unutilized LC Commitment of such Issuing Lender; provided, however, that, if the Borrower elects to terminate such unutilized LC Commitment, the Borrower may at any time thereafter that the Revolving Commitments are in effect reinstate such LC Commitment in connection with the appointment of another Issuing Lender. Subject to subsection (r) below, upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Issuing Lender hereunder by a successor Issuing Lender, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the interests, rights and obligations of the retiring Issuing Lender and the retiring Issuing Lender shall be discharged from its obligations to issue Additional Letters of Credit hereunder. The acceptance of any appointment as Issuing Lender hereunder by a successor Issuing Lender shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such successor, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such successor shall be a party hereto and have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement and the other Senior Finance Documents, and (ii) references herein and in the other Senior Finance Documents to the “Issuing Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Lender, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Lenders, as the context shall require.

(r) Rights with Respect to Outstanding Letters of Credit. After the resignation of an Issuing Lender hereunder the retiring Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to

- 61 -

have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement and the other Senior Finance Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation, but shall not be required to issue Additional Letters of Credit.

(s) Reporting. Each Issuing Lender will report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on the first Business Day of each week, the aggregate amount of the face amount of Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding as of the last Business Day of the preceding week, (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Lender expects to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance or amendment, and the aggregate amount of the face amount of Letters of Credit to be issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and such Issuing Lender shall advise the Administrative Agent on such Business Day whether such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension occurred and whether the amount thereof changed), (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Lender makes any LC Disbursement, the date of such LC Disbursement and the amount of such LC Disbursement and (iv) on any Business Day on which the Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Lender on such day, the date of such failure, the Borrower and the amount, of such LC Disbursement.

Section 2.06 Interest.

(a) Rate Options Applicable to Loans. Each Borrowing shall be comprised of Base Rate Loans or (except in the case of Swingline Loans, which shall be made and maintained as Base Rate Loans only) Eurodollar Loans, as the Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.02. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that the Borrower may not request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in an aggregate of more than 15 separate Groups of Eurodollar Loans being outstanding hereunder at any one time. For this purpose, Loans having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether commencing on the same date, shall be considered separate Groups.

(b) Base Rate Loans. Each Loan of a Class which is made as, or converted into, a Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Loan is made as, or converted into, a Base Rate Loan until it becomes due or is converted into a Loan of any other Type, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate for such day plus the then Applicable Margin. Such interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and, with respect to the principal amount of any Base Rate Loan converted to a Eurodollar Loan, on the date such Base Rate Loan is so converted.

(c) Eurodollar Loans. Each Eurodollar Loan of a Class shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day during the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the applicable Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate for such Interest Period plus the then Applicable Margin. Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on each Interest Payment Date.

(d) Determination and Notice of Interest Rates. The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the participating Lenders of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Any such notice shall, without the necessity of the Administrative Agent so stating in such notice, be subject to the provisions of the definition of “Applicable Margin” providing for adjustments in the Applicable Margin from time to time. When during an Interest Period any event occurs that causes an adjustment in the Applicable Margin applicable to Loans to which such Interest Period is applicable, the Administrative Agent shall give

- 62 -

prompt notice to the Borrower and the applicable Lenders affected thereby of such event and the adjusted rate of interest so determined for such Loans, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(e) Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) and/or (f), the overdue principal of and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest on the Loans and any other overdue amounts owing herein or under the other Senior Finance Documents shall bear interest, payable on demand, at a per annum rate equal to (i) in the case of principal of any Loan, the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan during such period pursuant to this Section 2.06 plus 2.00%, (ii) in the case of interest on any Loan the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Loans that are Base Rate Loans of such Class on such day plus 2.00% and (iii) in the case of any other amount, if expressly provided for herein, at the rate so provided and otherwise at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for R-2 Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans plus 2.00%.

Section 2.07 Extension and Conversion.

(a) Continuation and Conversion Options. The Loans included in each Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate allowed by Section 2.06 and as specified by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. Thereafter, the Borrower shall have the option to elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Group of Loans (subject in each case to the provisions of Article III and subsection 2.07(d)), as follows:

(i) if such Loans are Base Rate Loans, the Borrower may elect pursuant to a Notice of Extension/Conversion to convert such Loans to Eurodollar Loans as of any Business Day; and

(ii) if such Loans are Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert such Loans to Base Rate Loans or elect to continue such Loans as Eurodollar Loans for an additional Interest Period, subject to Section 3.05 in the case of any such conversion or continuation effective on any day other than the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Loans.

Each such election shall be made by delivering a notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 hereto (a “Notice of Extension/Conversion”) or by telephone promptly confirmed by a Notice of Extension/Conversion, which notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower, to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 Noon on the second Business Day before the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective. A Notice of Extension/Conversion may, if it so specifies, apply to only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Group of Loans; provided that (i) such portion is allocated ratably among the Loans comprising such Group and (ii) the portion to which such Notice applies, and the remaining portion to which it does not apply, are each $1,000,000 or any larger multiple of $100,000.

(b) Contents of Notice of Extension/Conversion. Each Notice of Extension/Conversion shall specify:

(i) the Group of Loans (or portion thereof) to which such notice applies;

(ii) the date on which the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective, which shall comply with the applicable clause of subsection 2.07(a) above;

- 63 -

(iii) if the Loans comprising such Group are to be converted, the new Type of Loans and, if the Loans being converted are to be Eurodollar Loans, the duration of the next succeeding Interest Period applicable thereto; and

(iv) if such Loans are to be continued as Eurodollar Loans for an additional Interest Period, the duration of such additional Interest Period.

Each Interest Period specified in a Notice of Interest Rate Election shall comply with the provisions of the definitions of the term “Interest Period”. If no Notice of Extension/Conversion is timely received prior to the end of an Interest Period for any Group of Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected that such Group be converted to Base Rate Loans as of the last day of such Interest Period.

(c) Notification to Lenders. Upon receipt of a Notice of Extension/Conversion (written or telephonic as set forth above) from the Borrower pursuant to subsection 2.07(a) above, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender affected thereby of the contents thereof.

(d) Limitation on Conversion/Continuation Options. The Borrower shall not be entitled to elect to convert any Loans to, or continue any Loans for an additional Interest Period as, Eurodollar Loans if (i) the aggregate principal amount of any Group of Eurodollar Loans created or continued as a result of such election would be less than $1,000,000 or (ii) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing when the Borrower delivers notice of such election to the Administrative Agent. In the case of (y) R-1 Revolving Loans and Term B-1 Loans, the Borrower shall not be entitled to elect to continue any Eurodollar Loans for an Interest Period in excess of one month and (z) R-2 Revolving Loans, Term B-2 Loans and Term B-3 Loans, the Borrower shall not be entitled to elect to continue any Eurodollar Loans for an Interest Period in excess of three months, in either case, if a Default shall have occurred and be continuing when the Borrower delivers notice of such election to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Accrued Interest. Accrued interest on a Loan (or portion thereof) being extended or converted shall be paid by the Borrower (i) with respect to any Base Rate Loan being converted to a Eurodollar Loan, on the last day of the first fiscal quarter of the Borrower ending on or after the date of conversion and (ii) otherwise, on the date of extension or conversion.

Section 2.08 Maturity of Loans.

(a) Maturity of Revolving Loans. The R-1 Revolving Loans shall mature on the Original Revolving Termination Date, and any R-1 Revolving Loans then outstanding (together with accrued interest thereon and fees in respect thereof) shall be due and payable on such date. In addition, on the Original Revolving Termination Date the Borrower shall repay in full all outstanding Swingline Loans (together with accrued interest thereon) other than with proceeds of a Revolving Loan. The R-2 Revolving Loans shall mature on the New Revolving Termination Date, and any R-2 Revolving Loans then outstanding (together with accrued interest thereon and fees in respect thereof), Swingline Loans then outstanding (together with accrued interest thereon) and LC Obligations shall be due and payable in full on such date.

(b) Scheduled Amortization of Term B Loans. The Borrower shall repay, and there shall become due and payable (together with accrued interest thereon) on each Principal Amortization Payment Date set forth below, the principal amount of each Class of Term B Loan set forth opposite each such Principal Amortization Payment Date as follows (and in each case the Term B Loans of each Class of each Lender shall be ratably repaid):

With respect to each Class of Term B Loans, the aggregate unpaid principal balance of such Class of Term B Loans then outstanding shall be due and payable in full on the applicable Term B Maturity Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Principal Amortization Payments set forth above for the Term B-1 Loans reflect the application of prior prepayments of the Term B Loan (as in effect immediately prior to the First Amendment Effective Date) by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2.09 Prepayments.

(a) Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right voluntarily to prepay Loans in whole or in part from time to time, subject to Section 3.05 but otherwise without premium or penalty; provided, however, that (i) each partial prepayment of the Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof, (ii) the Borrower shall have given prior written or telecopy notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or telecopy notice) to the Administrative Agent, (A) in the case of any Revolving Loan which is a Base Rate Loan or any Swingline Loan, by 12 Noon on the date of prepayment and (B), in the case of any other Loan, by 12 Noon at least two Business Days prior to the date of prepayment, (iii) each such voluntary prepayment of Revolving Loans shall be applied ratably to each Class of Revolving Loans based on the outstanding principal balances thereof and (iv) except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of this Section 2.09(a), voluntary prepayments of Term B Loans under this Section 2.09(a) shall be applied ratably to each Class of Term B Loans based on the outstanding principal balances thereof and, within each Class, ratably to the remaining Principal Amortization Payments thereof based on the outstanding principal balances thereof. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount remaining and amount to be prepaid, whether the Loan to be prepaid is a Revolving Loan, Term B Loan or Swingline Loan, whether the Loan to be prepaid is a Eurodollar Loan or a Base Rate Loan and, in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, the Interest Period of such Loan. Each notice of prepayment shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Loan by the amount, and on the date stated therein. Subject to the foregoing, amounts prepaid under this Section 2.09(a) shall be applied as the Borrower may elect; provided that if the Borrower fails to specify the application of a voluntary prepayment, then such prepayment shall be applied first to Revolving Loans (applied ratably to each

- 65 -

Class of Revolving Loans based on the outstanding principal balances thereof) to the full extent thereof (without a permanent reduction in the Revolving Committed Amount), then to Swingline Loans to the full extent thereof (without a permanent reduction in the Revolving Committed Amount), then to Term B Loans (ratably to each Class and then ratably to the remaining Principal Amortization Payments of each Class), in each case first to Base Rate Loans and then to Eurodollar Loans of the applicable Class in direct order of Interest Period maturity. All prepayments under this Section 2.09(a) shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may elect to cause all or a portion of any such prepayment of Term B Loans to be applied to the remaining Principal Amortization Payments thereof in direct order of maturity, in which case such prepayment shall be applied to the Principal Amortization Payments of all Classes of Term B Loans in the order in which their Principal Amortization Payment Dates occur (with such prepayment being applied ratably to multiple Principal Amortization Payments due on the same Principal Amortization Payment Date based on the outstanding principal balances of such Principal Amortization Payments).

(b) Mandatory Prepayments.

(i) Revolving Committed Amount. If on any date the aggregate Revolving Outstandings exceed the lesser of the Revolving Committed Amount and $20,000,000, the Borrower shall repay, and there shall become due and payable (together with accrued interest thereon), on such date an aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans equal to such excess. If the outstanding Swingline Loans have been repaid in full, the Borrower shall prepay, and there shall become due and payable (together with accrued interest thereon), Revolving Loans in such amounts as are necessary so that, after giving effect to the repayment of the Swingline Loans and the repayment of Revolving Loans, the aggregate Revolving Outstandings do not exceed the lesser of the Revolving Committed Amount and $20,000,000. If the outstanding Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans have been repaid in full, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize LC Obligations so that, after giving effect to the repayment of Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans and the Cash Collateralization of LC Obligations pursuant to this subsection (i), the aggregate Revolving Outstandings do not exceed the lesser of the Revolving Committed Amount and $20,000,000. In determining the aggregate Revolving Outstandings for purposes of this subsection (i), LC Obligations shall be reduced to the extent that they are Cash Collateralized as contemplated by this subsection (i). Each prepayment of Revolving Loans required pursuant to this subsection (i) shall be applied ratably among outstanding Revolving Loans (including ratably across Classes of Revolving Loans) based on the respective amounts of principal then outstanding. Each Cash Collateralization of LC Obligations required by this subsection (i) shall be applied ratably among LC Obligations based on the respective amounts thereof then outstanding.

(ii) Excess Cash Flow. Within 125 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower (commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006), the Borrower shall prepay the Loans and/or Cash Collateralize or pay the LC Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to (A) 75% of the Excess Cash Flow for such prior fiscal year if the Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such prior fiscal year was equal to or greater than 3.0 to 1.0, (B) 50% of the Excess Cash Flow for such prior fiscal year, if the Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such prior fiscal year was less than 3.0 to 1.0 but equal to or greater than 2.0 to 1.0 or (C) 25% of the Excess Cash Flow for the prior fiscal year, if the Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such prior fiscal year was less than 2.0 to 1.0. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the date of such prepayment, a payment in respect of the Junior Debentures would not be permitted pursuant to Section 7.08 (d) below, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans and/or Cash Collateralize or pay the LC Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to 75% of the Excess Cash Flow for such prior fiscal year.

- 66 -

(iii) Asset Dispositions, Casualties and Condemnations, etc. Within five Business Days after receipt by any Group Company of proceeds from any Asset Disposition (other than any Excluded Asset Disposition), Casualty or Condemnation, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans and/or Cash Collateralize or pay the LC Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Asset Disposition, Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable.

(iv) Debt Issuances. Within five Business Days after receipt by any Group Company of proceeds from any Debt Issuance (other than such Debt Issuance permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of this Agreement), the Borrower shall prepay the Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the LC Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Debt Issuance.

(v) Equity Issuances. Within five Business Days after receipt by any Group Company of proceeds from any Equity Issuance (other than any Excluded Equity Issuance), the Borrower shall prepay the Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the LC Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to (A) 75% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Equity Issuance if the Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the fiscal quarter on a Pro-Forma Basis (as confirmed by the delivery of the Pro-Forma Compliance Certificate) of the Borrower ending on or most recently preceding the date of the receipt of such proceeds was equal to or greater than 3.5 to 1.0, (B) 50% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Equity Issuance, if the Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the fiscal quarter on a Pro-Forma Basis (as confirmed by the delivery of the Pro-Forma Compliance Certificate) of the Borrower ending on or most recently preceding the date of the receipt of such proceeds was less than 3.5 to 1.0 but equal to or greater than 2.5 to 1.0, and (C) 25% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Equity Issuance, if the Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the fiscal year of the Borrower ending on or most recently preceding the date of the receipt of such proceeds was less than 2.5 to 1.0, and in each case, Holdings shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a Pro-Forma Compliance Certificate in connection therewith.

(vi) Payments in Respect of Subordinated Debt. Immediately upon receipt by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any amount pursuant to the subordination provision of any Debt of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries that is subordinate to the Senior Obligations, all proceeds thereof shall be applied as set forth in subsection (vii)(B) below.

(vii) Application of Mandatory Prepayments. All amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.09(b) shall be applied as follows:

(A) with respect to all amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.09(b)(i) in the order provided in such Section; and

(B) with respect to all amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.09(b)(ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) (1) first, to the Term B Loans (ratably to the remaining Principal Amortization Payments of all Classes thereof, provided that the Borrower may elect to cause all or a portion of such prepayment of Term B Loans to be applied to the remaining Principal Amortization Payments of all Classes thereof in direct order of maturity, due in the twelve month period commencing on the date of prepayment, in which case such prepayment shall be applied ratably to multiple Principal Amortization Payments due on the same Principal Amortization Payment Date based on the outstanding principal balances of such Principal Amortization Payments) and (2) second, (x) to the Revolving Loans ratably between Classes of Revolving Loans (with a corresponding reduction in the Revolving Committed Amount (applied to the R-1 Revolving Commitments and R-2

- 67 -

Revolving Commitments based on the amounts of the applicable Classes of Revolving Loans so prepaid) pursuant to Section 2.10(b)), (y) then to Swingline Loans (with a corresponding reduction in the Revolving Committed Amount (applied ratably to R-1 Revolving Commitments and R-2 Revolving Commitments) and the Swingline Committed Amount pursuant to Section 2.10(b)), and (z) then to Cash Collateralize LC Obligations.

(viii) Order of Applications. All amounts allocated to Revolving Outstandings as provided in this Section 2.09(b) shall be applied, first, to Swingline Loans, second, after all Swingline Loans have been repaid, to Revolving Loans (ratably to R-1 Revolving Loans and R-2 Revolving Loans), and third, after all Revolving Loans have been repaid, to Cash Collateralize or pay the LC Obligations; provided that any balance of such amounts remaining after all Revolving Loans have been repaid and, if applicable, all LC Obligations have been Cash Collateralized shall be applied to the Term B Loans in each case ratably to the remaining Principal Amortization Payments of all Classes of Term B Loans. Within the parameters of the applications set forth above, prepayments of Revolving Loans and Term B Loans shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and then, subject to subsection (ix) below, to Eurodollar Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities. All prepayments under this Section 2.09(b) shall be subject to Section 3.05. All prepayments under this Section 2.09(b) shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of payment.

(ix) Prepayment Accounts. Amounts to be applied as provided in subsection (vii) above to the prepayment of Revolving Loans or Term B Loans shall be applied first to reduce outstanding Base Rate Loans of the applicable Class. Any amounts remaining after each such application shall, at the option of the Borrower, be applied to prepay Eurodollar Loans of the applicable Class immediately and/or shall be deposited in a separate Prepayment Account (as defined below) for the Loans of the applicable Class. The Administrative Agent shall apply any cash deposited in the Prepayment Account for any Class of Loans, upon withdrawal by the Collateral Agent, to prepay Eurodollar Loans of such Class on the last day of their respective Interest Periods (or, at the direction of the Borrower, on any earlier date) until all outstanding Loans of such Class have been prepaid or until all the allocable cash on deposit in the Prepayment Account for such Class has been exhausted. Concurrently with such application, the aggregate amount of any interest or profits earned on the amount so applied shall be withdrawn by the Collateral Agent and paid to the order of the Borrower. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Prepayment Account” for any Class of Loans shall mean an account (which may include the Prepayment Account established under the Security Agreement) established by the Borrower with the Collateral Agent and over which the Collateral Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal for application in accordance with this subsection (ix). The Collateral Agent will, at the request of the Borrower, invest amounts on deposit in the Prepayment Account for any Class of Loans in Cash Equivalents that mature prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Periods of the Eurodollar Loans of such Class to be prepaid; provided, however, that (i) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to make any investment that, in its sole judgment, would require or cause the Collateral Agent to be in, or would result in any, violation of any Law, (ii) such Cash Equivalents shall be subjected to a first priority perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent and (iii) if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the selection of such Cash Equivalents shall be in the sole discretion of the Collateral Agent. The Borrower shall indemnify the Collateral Agent for any losses relating to such investments in Cash Equivalents so that the amount available to prepay Eurodollar Loans on the last day of the applicable Interest Periods is not less than the amount that would have been available had no investments been made pursuant thereto. Other than any interest or profits earned on such investments, the Prepayment Accounts shall not bear

- 68 -

interest. Interest or profits, if any, on the investments in any Prepayment Account shall accumulate in such Prepayment Account and be paid to the Borrower as provided above. If the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.02, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, cause the Collateral Agent to withdraw amounts on deposit in the Prepayment Account for any Class of Loans and apply such funds to satisfy any of the Senior Obligations related to such Class of Loans.

(x) Payments Cumulative. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.09, payments required under any subsection or clause of this Section 2.09 are in addition to payments made or required under any other subsection or clause of this Section 2.09.

(xi) Notice. The Borrower shall give to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders at least five Business Days’ prior written or telecopy notice of each and every event or occurrence requiring a prepayment under Section 2.09(b)(iii), (iv), (v) or (vi), including the amount of Net Cash Proceeds expected to be received therefrom and the expected schedule for receiving such proceeds; provided, however, that in the case of any prepayment event consisting of a Casualty or Condemnation, the Borrower shall give such notice within five Business Days after the occurrence of such event.

Section 2.10 Adjustment of Commitments.

(a) Optional Termination or Reduction of Commitments (Pro-Rata). The Borrower may from time to time permanently reduce or terminate the Revolving Committed Amount in whole or in part (in minimum aggregate amounts of $1,000,000 or in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the full remaining amount of the then applicable Revolving Committed Amount)) upon two Business Days’ prior written or telecopy notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that no such termination or reduction shall be made which would cause the Revolving Outstandings to exceed the Revolving Committed Amount as so reduced unless, concurrently with such termination or reduction, the Revolving Loans are repaid or, if no Revolving Loans are outstanding, the Swingline Loans are repaid and, after the Swingline Loans have been paid in full, the LC Obligations are Cash Collateralized to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender of the receipt by the Administrative Agent of any notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.10(a). Any partial reduction of the Revolving Committed Amount pursuant to this Section 2.10(a) shall be applied to the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders pro-rata based upon their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages (and pro rata to the R-1 Revolving Commitments and R-2 Revolving Commitments of Revolving Lenders based on the respective amounts thereof, it being understood that in no event shall Borrower be permitted to voluntarily reduce or terminate one Class of Revolving Commitments versus another Class of Revolving Commitments). The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 2.11, on the date of each termination or reduction of the Revolving Committed Amount, any fees accrued through the date of such termination or reduction on the amount of the Revolving Committed Amount so terminated or reduced.

- 69 -

(b) Mandatory Reductions.

On any date that any Revolving Loans are required to be prepaid, Swingline Loans are required to be prepaid and/or LC Obligations are required to be Cash Collateralized pursuant to the terms of Section 2.09(b), (iv), (v) or (vi) (or would be so required if any Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans or LC Obligations were outstanding), the Revolving Committed Amount shall be automatically and permanently reduced by the total amount of such required prepayments (applied ratably to the R-1 Revolving Commitments and R-2 Revolving Commitments based on the respective amounts thereof) and cash collateral (and, in the event that the amount of any payment referred to in Section 2.09(b), (iv), (v) or (vi) which is allocable to the Revolving Outstandings exceeds the amount of all outstanding Revolving Outstandings, the Revolving Committed Amount shall be further reduced by 100% of such excess (applied ratably to the R-1 Revolving Commitments and R-2 Revolving Commitments based on the respective amounts thereof)).

(c) Termination. The R-1 Revolving Commitments of the Lenders shall terminate automatically on the Original Revolving Termination Date. The R-2 Revolving Commitments of the Lenders and the LC Commitments of the Issuing Lenders shall terminate automatically on the New Revolving Termination Date. The Swingline Commitment of the Swingline Lender shall terminate automatically on the Swingline Termination Date. The Delayed Draw Term B Commitment of the applicable Term B Lenders shall terminate automatically on the Delayed Draw Term B Commitment Termination Date.

(d) Optional Termination of Commitments (Non-Pro-Rata). If (i) any Lender has demanded compensation or indemnification pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.04, (ii) the obligation of any Lender to make Eurodollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 3.02, (iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or (iv) any Lender has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 10.03 or any other provision of any Senior Finance Document requires the consent of more than the Required Lenders and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, the Borrower shall have the right, if no Default or Event of Default then exists, to (i) remove such Lender by terminating such Lender’s Commitment in full or (ii) replace such Lender by causing such Lender to assign its Commitment to one or more existing Lenders or Eligible Assignees pursuant to Section 10.06; provided, however, that if the Borrower elects to exercise such right with respect to any Lender pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, it shall be obligated to remove or replace, as the case may be, all Lenders that have similar requests then outstanding for compensation pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04 or whose obligation to make Eurodollar Loans has been similarly suspended. The replacement of a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.10(d) shall be effective on the date of notice of such replacement to the Lenders through the Administrative Agent (the “Replacement Date”), subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

(i) each replacement Lender and/or Eligible Assignee, and the Administrative Agent acting on behalf of each Lender subject to replacement, shall have satisfied the conditions to an Assignment and Acceptance set forth in Section 10.06(b) and, in connection therewith, the replacement Lender(s) and/or Eligible Assignee(s) shall pay:

(A) to each Lender subject to replacement an amount equal in the aggregate to the sum of (x) the principal of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, its outstanding Loans, (y) the amount of all LC Disbursements that have been funded by (and not reimbursed to) it under Section 2.05, together with all accrued but unpaid interest with respect thereto, and (z) all accrued but unpaid fees owing to it pursuant to Section 2.11; and

- 70 -

(B) to the Issuing Lenders an amount equal to the aggregate amount owing by the replaced Lenders to the Issuing Lenders as reimbursement pursuant to Section 2.05, to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such replaced Lenders; and

(ii) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of each replaced Lender an amount equal to all obligations owing to such replaced Lenders by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and the other Senior Finance Documents (other than those obligations of the Borrower referred to in clause (i)(A) above).

In the case of the removal of a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.10(d), upon (i) payment by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender subject to such removal of an amount equal to the sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount of all Loans and LC Obligations held by such Lender and (B) all accrued interest, fees and other amounts owing to such Lender hereunder, including, without limitation, all amounts payable by the Borrower to such Lender under Article III or Sections 10.04 and 10.05, and (ii) provision by the Borrower to the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Lender of appropriate assurances and indemnities (which may include letters of credit) as each may reasonably require with respect to any continuing obligation of such removed Lender to purchase Participation Interests in any LC Obligations or Swingline Loans then outstanding, such Lender shall, without any further consent or other action by it, cease to constitute a Lender hereunder; provided that the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions of Article III and Sections 10.04 and 10.05) shall continue to govern the rights and obligations of a removed Lender with respect to any Loans made, any Letters of Credit issued or any other actions taken by such removed Lender while it was a Lender.

(e) General. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 2.11, on the date of each termination or reduction of the Revolving Committed Amount, the Commitment Fee accrued through the date of such termination or reduction on the amount of the Revolving Committed Amount (as allocated between R-1 Revolving Commitments and R-2 Revolving Commitments) so terminated or reduced.

Section 2.11 Fees.

(a) Revolving Commitment Fee. At all times the Unused Revolving Committed Amount shall be allocated to the R-1 Revolving Commitments and R-2 Revolving Commitments on a pro rata basis based on the respective amounts thereof. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a fee (the “Commitment Fee”) on such Lender’s pro rata share of the daily Unused Revolving Committed Amount allocated to the R-1 Revolving Commitments and R-2 Revolving Commitments (based on the percentage that its applicable Class of Commitment bears to the aggregate Class of Commitment), computed at a per annum rate for each day equal to (i) 0.50% of such Unused Revolving Committed Amount allocated to the R-1 Revolving Commitments and (ii) 0.75% of such Unused Revolving Committed Amount allocated to the R-2 Revolving Commitments. The Commitment Fee shall commence to accrue on the Effective Date and shall be due and payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (and any date that the Revolving Committed Amount is reduced as provided in Section 2.10(a) or (b) and the Original Revolving Termination Date and New Revolving Termination Date) for the quarter or portion thereof ending on each such date, beginning with the first of such dates to occur after the Effective Date; provided that, the Commitment Fees to be paid by the Borrower on the first of such dates to occur after the Effective Date shall include all Commitment Fees accrued under (and as defined in) the Existing Credit Agreement to the extent such Commitment Fees remain unpaid as of the Effective Date.

- 71 -

(b) Letter of Credit Fees.

(i) R-1 Revolving Commitment Letter of Credit Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender with an R-1 Revolving Commitment a fee on such Revolving Lender’s pro rata share (based on the percentage that its R-1 Revolving Commitment bears to the aggregate R-1 Revolving Commitments) of the average daily maximum amount of Participation Interests in Letters of Credit deemed purchased by Revolving Lenders under their R-1 Revolving Commitments in accordance with Section 2.05(e) and the definition of Revolving Commitment, computed at a per annum rate for each day from the date of issuance to the date of expiration of the applicable Letters of Credit equal to the Applicable Margin for Letter of Credit Fees in effect from time to time. All Letter of Credit Fees described in this Section 2.11(b)(i) will be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December for the immediately preceding quarter (or portion thereof), beginning with the first of such dates to occur after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, and on the Original Revolving Termination Date.

(ii) Fronting Fees. The Borrower shall pay directly to each Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit, in an amount to be agreed between the Borrower and the relevant Issuing Lender, such fronting fee to be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, and on the New Revolving Termination Date.

(iii) Issuing Lender Fees. In addition to the Letter of Credit Fee payable pursuant to clause (i) above and any fronting fees payable pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower promises to pay to the Issuing Lender for its own account without sharing by the other Lenders the letter of credit fronting and negotiation fees agreed to by the Borrower and the Issuing Lender from time to time and the customary charges from time to time of the Issuing Lender with respect to the issuance, amendment, transfer, administration, cancellation and conversion of, and drawings under, each Letter of Credit (collectively, the “Issuing Lender Fees”).

(iv) Computation of Certain Fees after Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a payment or insolvency Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) and/or (f) any overdue Letter of Credit Fee payable under subsection (i) above or subsection (v) below shall be computed at a rate per annum equal to the relevant “Applicable Margin for Letter of Credit Fee” as set forth in the definition of “Applicable Margin” in Section 1.01 hereof plus 2.00%.

(v) R-2 Revolving Commitment Letter of Credit Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender with an R-2 Revolving Commitment a fee on such Revolving Lender’s pro rata share (based on the percentage that its R-2 Revolving Commitment bears to the aggregate R-2 Revolving Commitments) of the average daily maximum amount of Participation Interests in Letters of Credit deemed purchased by Revolving Lenders under their R-2 Revolving Commitments in accordance with Section 2.05(e) and the definition of Revolving Commitment, computed at a per annum rate for each day from the date of issuance to the date of expiration of the applicable Letters of Credit equal to the Applicable Margin for Letter of Credit Fees in effect from time to time. All Letter of Credit Fees described in this Section 2.11(b)(v) will be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December for the immediately preceding quarter (or portion

- 72 -

thereof), beginning with the first of such dates to occur after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, and on the New Revolving Termination Date.

(c) Delayed Draw Term B Commitment Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Term B Lender with a Delayed Draw Term B Commitment a fee on such Term B Lender’s Delayed Draw Term B Commitment Percentage of the daily Unused Delayed Draw Term B Committed Amount, computed at a per annum rate for each day equal to 1.50% of such Unused Delayed Draw Term B Committed Amount. Such fee shall accrue from the First Amendment Effective Date through the Delayed Draw Term B Commitment Termination Date and shall be due and payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December for the quarter or portion thereof ending on each such date, beginning with the first of such dates to occur after the First Amendment Effective Date.

Section 2.12 Pro-Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein (including, without limitation, Section 2.08(a)):

(a) Loans. Each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of or interest on any Loan, each payment of fees (other than the Issuing Lender Fees retained by an Issuing Lender for its own account and the administrative fees retained by the Agents for their own account), each reduction of the Revolving Committed Amount and each conversion or continuation of any Loan, shall be allocated ratably amongst the relevant Lenders; provided that, in the event any amount paid to any Lender pursuant to this subsection (a) is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so paid to such Lender, with interest for the period commencing on the date such payment is returned by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent receives such repayment at a rate per annum equal to, during the period to but excluding the date two Business Days after such request, the Federal Funds Rate, and thereafter, the Base Rate plus 2.00% per annum.

(b) Letters of Credit. Each payment of LC Obligations shall be allocated to each Revolving Lender pro-rata in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage; provided that, if any Revolving Lender shall have failed to pay its applicable pro-rata share of any LC Disbursement, then any amount to which such Revolving Lender would otherwise be entitled pursuant to this subsection (b) shall instead be payable to the Issuing Lender; provided, further, that in the event any amount paid to any Revolving Lender pursuant to this subsection (b) is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Issuing Lender, each Revolving Lender shall, upon the request of the Issuing Lender, repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender the amount so paid to such Revolving Lender, with interest for the period commencing on the date such payment is returned by the Issuing Lender until the date the Issuing Lender receives such repayment at a rate per annum equal to, during the period to but excluding the date two Business Days after such request, the Federal Funds Rate, and thereafter, the Base Rate plus 2.00% per annum.

Section 2.13 Sharing of Payments. The Lenders agree among themselves that, except to the extent otherwise provided herein, if any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of any Loan, unreimbursed LC Disbursements or any other obligation owing to such Lender under this Agreement through the exercise of a right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, in excess of its pro-rata share of such payment as provided for in this Agreement, such Lender shall promptly pay in cash or purchase from the other Lenders a participation in such Loans, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, and other obligations in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time, as shall be equitable to the end that all Lenders share such payment

- 73 -

in accordance with their respective ratable shares as provided for in this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Section 2.13 shall impair the right of any Lender to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have for payment of indebtedness of the Borrower other than its indebtedness hereunder. The Lenders further agree among themselves that if payment to a Lender obtained by such Lender through the exercise of a right of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or other event as aforesaid shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored, each Lender which shall have shared the benefit of such payment shall, by payment in cash or a repurchase of a participation theretofore sold, return its share of that benefit (together with its share of any accrued interest payable with respect thereto) to each Lender whose payment shall have been rescinded or otherwise restored. Holdings and the Borrower agree that any Lender so purchasing such a participation may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all rights of payment, including setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim, with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a holder of such Loan, LC Obligation or other obligation in the amount of such participation. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section 2.13 applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders under this Section 2.13 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

Section 2.14 Payments; Computations.

(a) Payments by the Borrower. Each payment of principal of and interest on Loans, LC Obligations and fees hereunder (other than fees payable directly to the Issuing Lenders) shall be paid not later than 2:00 P.M. on the date when due, in Federal or other funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent at the account designated by it by notice to the Borrower. Each such payment shall be made irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which might in the absence of this provision be asserted by the Borrower or any Affiliate against any Agent or any Lender. Payments received after 2:00 P.M. shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. The Borrower shall, at the time it makes any payments under this Agreement, specify to the Administrative Agent the Loan, Letters of Credit, fees or other amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied (and if any such specified application would be inconsistent with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to Section 2.12, distribute such payment to the Lenders in such manner as the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably appropriate). The Administrative Agent will distribute such payments to the applicable Lenders on the date of receipt thereof, if such payment is received prior to 2:00 P.M.; otherwise the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion distribute such payment to the applicable Lenders on the date of receipt thereof or on the immediately succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless such Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time. The Borrower hereby authorizes and directs each Agent to debit any account maintained by the Borrower for such purpose with such Agent to pay when due any amounts required to be paid from time to time under this Agreement as directed at such time(s) by the Borrower.

(b) Distributions by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice (written or telephonic) from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have so made such payment, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day

- 74 -

from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. To the extent that any Lender has failed, in whole or in part, to fund any Loan or the purchase of any participations hereunder or to make any other payment, in each case, required to be funded or made by such Lender pursuant to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to set off the funding shortfall against such Lender’s pro rata share of all payments received from or on behalf of the Borrower or any Guarantor or on account of the Collateral.

(c) Computations. Except for interest on Base Rate Loans which shall be computed on the basis of a 365 or 366 day year as the case may be (unless the Base Rate is determined by reference to the Federal Funds Rate), all computations of interest and fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days. Interest shall accrue from and including the date of borrowing (or continuation or conversion) but excluding the date of payment.

ARTICLE III
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

Section 3.01 Taxes.

(a) Payments Net of Certain Taxes. Any and all payments by any Credit Party to or for the account of any Lender or any Agent hereunder or under any other Senior Finance Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding any and all Excluded Taxes (all such non-Excluded Taxes being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Credit Party shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under this Agreement or any other Senior Finance Document to any Lender or any Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) such Lender or such Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) such Credit Party shall make such deductions and withholdings, (ii) such Credit Party shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) such Credit Party shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent’s Office, the original or a certified copy of a receipt, if any, evidencing payment thereof or other documentation evidencing such payment.

(b) Other Taxes. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp or documentary, excise or property taxes or similar charges or levies (including mortgage recording taxes) which arise from any payment made by it under this Agreement or any other Senior Finance Document or from the execution, delivery, registration or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Senior Finance Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) Additional Taxes. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and each Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 3.01), as applicable, whether or not correctly or legally asserted, paid by such Lender or such Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto; provided, however, that if the Borrower reasonably believes that such Taxes or Other Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, the Administrative Agent or the Lender, as the case may be, will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to obtain a refund of such Taxes or other Taxes so long

- 75 -

as such efforts would not, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent or the Lender, as the case may be, result in any additional costs, expenses or risks or be otherwise disadvantageous to it.

(d) U.S. Tax Forms and Certificates. Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States (a “Non-U.S. Lender”), on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter as required by law, shall provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with (i) Internal Revenue Service Form X-0 XXX, X-0 IMY or W-8 ECI, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, and (ii) any other form or certificate required by any taxing authority (including any certificate required by Sections 871(h) and 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code), certifying that such Lender is entitled to an exemption from or a reduced rate of tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Senior Finance Documents. Should a Lender, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required to be delivered hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.

(e) Obligations in Respect of Non-U.S. Lenders. The Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Non-U.S. Lender or to pay any additional amounts to any Non-U.S. Lender, in respect of Taxes (other than Other Taxes) pursuant to subsection (a) above to the extent that the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to Taxes (other than Other Taxes) existed on the date such Non-U.S. Lender became a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a participant, on the date such participant acquired its participation interest) or, with respect to payments to a new Applicable Lending Office, the date such Non-U.S. Lender designated such new Applicable Lending Office with respect to a Loan; provided, however, that this subsection (e) shall not apply (i) to any participant or new Applicable Lending Office that becomes a participant or new Applicable Lending Office as a result of an assignment, participation, transfer or designation made at the request of the Borrower and (ii) to the extent the indemnity payment or additional amounts any participant, or any Lender acting through a new Applicable Lending Office, would be entitled to receive (without regard to this subsection (e)) do not exceed the indemnity payment or additional amounts that the Person making the assignment, participation or transfer to such participant, or Lender (or participant) making the designation of such new Applicable Lending Office, would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment, participation, transfer or designation.

(f) Mitigation. If any Credit Party is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Lender pursuant to this Section 3.01, then such Lender will agree to use reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office or to file or deliver to the Borrower any certificate or document so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue if such change, filing or delivery, in the judgment of such Lender, is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(g) Tax Receipts. Within thirty days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment (to the extent the Borrower receives a receipt for such payment).

(h) Refunds or Credits. If any Lender or Agent (i) receives a refund from a taxation authority in respect of any tax for which it has been indemnified by a Credit Party or with respect to

- 76 -

which a Credit Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01 or (ii) claims any credit or other tax benefit (such credit to include any increase in any foreign tax credit) with respect to any tax for which it has been indemnified by a Credit Party or with respect to which a Credit Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, which refund, credit or other tax benefit in the sole judgment of such Lender or Agent is directly attributable to any such indemnified tax or additional amounts, such Lender or Agent shall (within 30 days from the date of such receipt) pay over to such Credit Party the amount of such refund, credit or other tax benefit (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Credit Party with respect to the tax giving rise to such refund or credit), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any taxes on a refund or on interest received or credited) which such Lender or Agent certifies that it has reasonably determined to have been incurred in connection with obtaining such refund, credit or other tax benefit; provided, however, that (i) each Credit Party shall repay, upon the request of such Lender or Agent, the amount paid over to such Credit Party (plus penalties, interest or other charges) to such Lender or Agent in the event such Lender or Agent is required to repay such refund or credit to such tax authority, (ii) such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall have no obligation to cooperate with respect to any contest (or continue to cooperate with respect to any contest), or to seek or claim any refund, credit or other tax benefit if such Lender or Agent determines that its interest would be adversely affected by so cooperating (or continuing to cooperate) or by seeking or claiming any such refund, credit or other tax benefit and (iii) no Credit Party shall have any right to examine the tax returns or other records of any Lender or Agent or to obtain any information with respect thereto by reason of the provisions of this Section 3.01 or any judgment or determination made by any Lender or Agent pursuant to this Section 3.01.

Section 3.02 Change in Law, Etc. If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any applicable Law, or any change in any applicable Law, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of Law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund any of its Eurodollar Loans and, in each such case, the affected Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Lenders and the Borrower, whereupon, until each affected Lender notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, (i) the obligation of each affected Lender to make Eurodollar Loans, or to convert outstanding Loans into Eurodollar Loans, shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.02, such Lender shall designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. If such notice is given, each Eurodollar Loan of such Lender then outstanding shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan either (i) on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loan to such day or (ii) immediately, if such Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loan to such day.

Section 3.03 Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Loan:

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period; or

- 77 -

(ii) Lenders having 50% or more of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments, Delayed Draw Term B Commitments, or Class of Term B Loans, as applicable (or the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans if the Revolving Commitments have expired or terminated) advise the Administrative Agent that the London Interbank Offered Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding their Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period;

the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders, whereupon, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Loans, or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or into Eurodollar Loans, shall be suspended and (ii) each outstanding Eurodollar Loan shall be converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto. Unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days before the date of any Eurodollar Borrowing for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously been given that it elects not to borrow on such date, such Borrowing shall instead be made as a Base Rate Borrowing in the same aggregate amount as the requested Borrowing and shall bear interest for each day from and including the first day to but excluding the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans of the relevant Class for such day.

Section 3.04 Increased Costs and Reduced Return.

(a) If on or after the date hereof, the adoption of or any change in any applicable Law or in the interpretation or application thereof applicable to any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office), or compliance by any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of Law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, in each case made subsequent to the Effective Date (or, if later, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender):

(i) shall subject such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Letter of Credit, any Eurodollar Loans made by it or any of its Notes or its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans or to participate in Letters of Credit, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) in respect thereof (except for (A) Taxes and Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 (including Taxes imposed solely by reason of any failure of such Lender to comply with its obligations under Section 3.01(d)) and (B) Excluded Taxes);

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

(iii) shall impose on such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) any other condition (excluding any tax of any kind whatsoever);

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining any Eurodollar Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, upon notice to the Borrower from such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, in accordance herewith, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay such Lender, within 10 Business Days of its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender on an after-tax basis (after taking

- 78 -

into account applicable deductions and credits in respect of the amount indemnified) for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption or the becoming effective of, or any change in, or any change by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof in the interpretation or administration of, any applicable Law regarding capital adequacy, or compliance by such Lender, or its parent corporation, with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of Law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s (or parent corporation’s) capital or assets as a consequence of its commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender, or its parent corporation, could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s (or parent corporation’s) policies with respect to capital adequacy), then, upon notice from such Lender to the Borrower, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender on an after-tax basis (after taking into account applicable deductions and credits in respect of the amount indemnified) for such reduction; provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to subsection (a) above or this subsection (b) for any additional costs or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date such Lender notifies the Borrower of the circumstances giving rise to such additional costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intentions to claim compensation therefor, and provided, further, that, if the Change in Law or in the interpretation or administration thereof giving rise to such additional costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. Each determination by any such Lender of amounts owing under this Section 3.04 shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto.

(c) A certificate in reasonable detail of each Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company as specified in subsection (a) or (b) above, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay each Lender or the Issuing Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 Business Days after receipt of the same.

(d) Promptly after any Lender becomes aware of any circumstance that will, in its reasonable judgment, result in a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 3.04, such Lender shall notify the Borrower thereof. Failure on the part of any Lender so to notify the Borrower or to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand compensation with respect to such period or any other period, except as expressly otherwise provided above. The protection of this Section 3.04 shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed.

Section 3.05 Funding Losses. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense (but excluding in any event loss of anticipated profit) which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) any failure by the Borrower to fulfill on the date of any Borrowing hereunder the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV or Section 2.01(d), as applicable, (ii) any failure by the Borrower to borrow or to refinance, convert or continue any Loan hereunder after irrevocable notice of such Borrowing, refinancing, conversion or continuation has been given pursuant to Section 2.01(d), 2.02 or 2.07, (iii) any payment, prepayment or conversion of a Eurodollar Loan, whether voluntary or involuntary, pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise made on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (iv) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the

- 79 -

Borrower pursuant to Section 2.10(d), including, in each such case, any loss or reasonable expense sustained or incurred or to be sustained or incurred in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain such Loan or any part thereof as a Eurodollar Loan. Such loss or reasonable expense (other than loss of anticipated profits) shall include an amount equal to the excess, if any, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining the funds for the Loan being paid, prepaid, converted, not borrowed or assigned (based on the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate), for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment, conversion, failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the Interest Period for such Loan which would have commenced on the date of such failure to borrow, convert or continue) or assignment over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would be realized by such Lender in reemploying the funds so paid, prepaid, converted, not borrowed, converted or continued for such period or Interest Period or assignment, as the case may be. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 3.05 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 3.06 Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Eurodollar Loans. If (i) the obligation of any Lender to make, or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or to, Eurodollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 3.02 or (ii) any Lender has demanded compensation under Section 3.01 or 3.04 with respect to its Eurodollar Loans, and in any such case the Borrower shall, by at least five Business Days’ prior notice to such Lender through the Administrative Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section 3.06 shall apply to such Lender, then, unless and until such Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist, all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Lender as (or continued as or converted to) Eurodollar Loans shall instead be Base Rate Loans (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Eurodollar Loans of the other Lenders). If such Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist, the principal amount of each such Base Rate Loan shall be converted into a Eurodollar Loan on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period applicable to the related Eurodollar Loans of the other Lenders.

No Default or Event of Default has occurred or exists.

Section 5.05 Financial Condition.

(a) Audited Financial Statements. The consolidated balance sheets of Holdings and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003, December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005 and the related consolidated and consolidating statements of income and cash flows for the respective fiscal years then ended, reported on by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, copies of each of which have been delivered to each of the Lenders, fairly present in all material respects, in accordance with GAAP (except as disclosed therein), the consolidated financial position of Holdings and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of each such date and their consolidated results of operations and cash flows for such fiscal year.

(b) Pro-Forma Financial Statements. The consolidated balance sheet of Holdings and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter prior to the Closing Date for which financial information is available, prepared on a pro-forma basis in accordance with Regulation S-X giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions, has heretofore been furnished to each Lender as part of the Pre-Commitment Information. Such pro-forma balance sheet has been prepared in good faith by the Borrower, based on the assumptions used to prepare the pro-forma financial information contained in the Pre-Commitment Information (which assumptions are believed by the Borrower on the date hereof and on the Closing Date to be reasonable and fair in light of current conditions and facts known to the Borrower), is based on the best information available to the Borrower as of the date of delivery thereof, accurately reflects all material adjustments required to be made to give effect to the Transactions and presents fairly on a pro-forma basis the estimated consolidated financial position of Holdings and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003, assuming that the Transactions had actually occurred on that date. None of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries has any reason to believe that such pro-forma balance sheet is misleading in any material respect in light of the circumstances existing at the time of the preparation thereof.

(c) Projections. The projections prepared as part of, and included in, the Pre-Commitment Information (which include projected balance sheets, income and cash flow statements on a quarterly basis for the period from the Closing Date through December 31, 2008 and on an annual basis for each of the following three fiscal years) have been prepared on a basis consistent with the financial statements referred to in subsection (a) above and are based on good faith estimates and assumptions believed by management of the Borrower to be reasonable and fair in light of current conditions and facts known to the Borrower at the time delivered. On the Closing Date, such management believes that such projections are reasonable and attainable, it being recognized by the Lenders, however, that projections as

- 90 -

to future events are not to be viewed as facts or guaranties of future performance, that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections may differ from the projected results and that such differences may be material and that the Credit Parties make no representation that such projections will be in fact be realized. There is no fact known to Holdings or the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect which has not been disclosed herein or in the Pre-Commitment Information.

(d) Post-Closing Financial Statements.

Declare the unpaid principal of and any accrued interest in respect of all Loans, any reimbursement obligations arising from drawings under Letters of Credit and any and all other indebtedness or obligations of any and every kind owing by a Credit Party to any of the Lenders hereunder to be due whereupon the same shall be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Credit Parties.

(c) Cash Collateral.

In case any one or more of the covenants and/or agreements set forth in this Agreement or any other Senior Finance Document shall have been breached by any Credit Party, then the Administrative Agent may proceed to protect and enforce the Lenders’ rights either by suit in equity and/or by action at law, including an action for damages as a result of any such breach and/or an action for specific performance of any such covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or such other Senior Finance Document. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Borrower agrees that failure to comply with any of the covenants contained herein will cause irreparable harm and that specific performance shall be available in the event of any breach thereof. The Administrative Agent acting pursuant to this paragraph shall be indemnified by the Borrower against all liability, loss or damage, together with all reasonable costs and expenses related thereto (including reasonable legal and accounting fees and expenses) in accordance with Section 10.05.

The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments in respect of its Finance Obligations and any proceeds of Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and agrees that, notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.09(b) and 2.14, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts collected or received by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Finance Party on account of amounts then due and outstanding under any of the Senior Finance Documents or any Derivative Agreement or in respect of the Collateral shall be paid over or delivered in respect of its Finance Obligations as follows:

FIRST, to pay interest on and then principal of any portion of the Revolving Loans that the Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower;

SECOND, to pay interest on and then principal of any Swingline Loan;

THIRD, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in connection with enforcing the rights of the Finance Parties under the Finance Documents, including all expenses of sale or other realization of or in respect of the Collateral, including reasonable compensation to the agents and counsel for the Collateral Agent, and all expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith, and

- 130 -

any other obligations owing to the Collateral Agent in respect of sums advanced by the Collateral Agent to preserve the Collateral or to preserve its security interest in the Collateral;

FOURTH, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of (i) each of the Lenders (including any Issuing Lender in its capacity as such) in connection with enforcing its rights under the Senior Finance Documents or otherwise with respect to the Senior Obligations owing to such Lender and (ii) each Derivatives Creditor in connection with enforcing any of its rights under the Derivatives Agreements or otherwise with respect to the Derivatives Obligations owing to such Derivatives Creditor;

FIFTH, to the payment of all of the Senior Obligations consisting of accrued fees and interest;

SIXTH, except as set forth in clauses FIRST through FIFTH above, to the payment of the outstanding Senior Obligations and Derivatives Obligations owing to any Finance Party, pro-rata, as set forth below, with (i) an amount equal to the Senior Obligations being paid to the Collateral Agent (in the case of Senior Obligations owing to the Collateral Agent) or to the Administrative Agent (in the case of all other Senior Obligations) for the account of the Lenders or any Agent, with the Collateral Agent, each Lender and the Agents receiving an amount equal to its outstanding Senior Obligations, or, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all Senior Obligations, its Pro-Rata Share of the amount remaining to be distributed, and (ii) an amount equal to the Derivatives Obligations being paid to the trustee, paying agent or other similar representative (each a “Representative”) for the Derivatives Creditors, with each Derivatives Creditor receiving an amount equal to the outstanding Derivatives Obligations owed to it by the Credit Parties or, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all such Derivatives Obligations, its Pro-Rata Share of the amount remaining to be distributed;

SEVENTH, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next succeeding category; (ii) each of the Finance Parties shall receive an amount equal to its Pro-Rata Share of amounts available to be applied pursuant to clauses “FOURTH”, “FIFTH”, and “SIXTH” above; and (iii) to the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause “SIXTH” above are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, such amounts shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a cash collateral account and applied (x) first, to reimburse the Issuing Lender from time to time for any drawings under such Letters of Credit and (y) then, following the expiration of all Letters of Credit, to all other obligations of the types described in clause “SIXTH” above in the manner provided in this Section 8.03.

(b) Pro-Rata Treatment. For purposes of this Section, “Pro-Rata Share” means, when calculating a Finance Party’s portion of any distribution or amount, that amount (expressed as a percentage) equal to a fraction the numerator of which is the then unpaid amount of such Finance Party’s Senior Obligations or Derivatives Obligations, as the case may be, and the denominator of which is the then outstanding amount of all Senior Obligations or Derivatives Obligations, as the case may be. When payments to the Finance Parties are based upon their respective Pro-Rata Shares, the amounts received by such Finance Parties hereunder shall be applied (for purposes of making determinations under this Section 8.03 only) (i) first, to their Senior Obligations and (ii) second, to their Derivatives Obligations. If any payment to any Finance Party of its Pro-Rata Share of any distribution would result in overpayment to such Finance Party, such excess amount shall instead be distributed in respect of the unpaid Senior

- 131 -

Obligations or Derivatives Obligations, as the case may be, of the other Finance Parties, with each Finance Party whose Senior Obligations or Derivatives Obligations, as the case may be, have not been paid in full to receive an amount equal to such excess amount multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the unpaid Senior Obligations or Derivatives Obligations, as the case may be, of such Finance Party and the denominator of which is the unpaid Senior Obligations or Derivatives Obligations, as the case may be, of all Finance Parties entitled to such distribution.

(c) Distributions with Respect to Letters of Credit. Each of the Finance Parties agrees and acknowledges that if (after all outstanding Loans and Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Letters of Credit have been paid in full) the Lenders are to receive a distribution on account of undrawn amounts with respect to Letters of Credit issued (or deemed issued) under the Credit Agreement, such amounts shall be deposited in the XX Xxxx Collateral Account as cash security for the repayment of Senior Obligations owing to the Lenders as such. Upon termination of all outstanding Letters of Credit, all of such cash security shall be applied to the remaining Senior Obligations of the Lenders. If there remains any excess cash security, such excess cash shall be withdrawn by the Collateral Agent from the XX Xxxx Collateral Account and distributed in accordance with Section 8.03(a) hereof.

(d) Distributions of Funds on Deposit in a Prepayment Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.03, amounts on deposit in a Prepayment Account for any Class of Loans shall be applied upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, first, to pay Loans of such Class and, second, after all the Loans of such Class have been paid in full, to the other Senior Obligations in the manner provided in this Section 8.03.

(e) Reliance by Collateral Agent. For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with this Section 8.03, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon (i) the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement and (ii) the Representative, if any, for the Derivatives Creditors for a determination (which the Administrative Agent, each Representative for any Derivatives Creditor and the Finance Parties agree (or shall agree) to provide upon request of the Collateral Agent) of the outstanding Senior Obligations or Derivatives Obligations owed to the Agents, the Lenders or the Derivatives Creditors, as the case may be. Unless it has actual knowledge (including by way of written notice from a Derivatives Creditor or any Representatives thereof) to the contrary, the Collateral Agent, in acting hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that no Derivatives Agreements are in existence.

AGENCY PROVISIONS

Section 9.01 Appointment; Authorization.

(a) Appointment. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints GE Business Financial Services Inc. (f/k/a Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Business Financial Services Inc.) as Administrative Agent and as Collateral Agent and JPMorgan Chase Bank as Syndication Agent for such Lender to act as specified herein and in the other Senior Finance Documents, and each such Lender hereby authorizes the Agents, as the agents for such Lender, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Senior Finance Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated by the terms hereof and of the other Senior Finance Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere herein and in the other Senior Finance Documents, the Agents shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and therein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any of the other Senior Finance Documents, or shall otherwise exist against the Agents. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement and the other Senior Finance

- 132 -

Documents, each Agent shall act solely as an agent of the Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Credit Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing two sentences, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Senior Finance Documents with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The provisions of this Article IX (other than Section 9.10) are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, and none of the Credit Parties shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of the provisions hereof (other than Section 9.10).

(b) Release of Collateral. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent, at the Collateral Agent’s option and in its discretion, to release any security interest in or Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Collateral Agent (i) upon termination of this Agreement and the other Senior Finance Documents, termination of the Commitments and all Letters of Credit and payment in full of all Senior Obligations, including all fees and indemnified costs and expenses that are payable pursuant to the terms of the Senior Finance Documents, (ii) if such Collateral constitutes property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or (iii) if approved by the Required Lenders or Lenders, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of Section 10.03. Upon the request of the Collateral Agent, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 9.01(b).

(c) Release of Guarantors. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent’s option and in its discretion, to release any Guarantor from its obligations hereunder if (i) such Guarantor is no longer required to be a Guarantor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or (ii) if approved by the Required Lenders or Lenders, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of Section 10.03. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release a particular Guarantor pursuant to this Section 9.01(c).

(d) HLT Classification. Each Lender recognizes that applicable Laws may require the Administrative Agent to determine whether the transactions contemplated hereby should be classified as “highly leveraged” or assigned any similar or successor classification, and that such determination may be binding upon the other Lenders. Each Lender understands that any such determination shall be made solely by the Administrative Agent based upon such factors (which may include the Administrative Agent’s internal policies and prevailing market practices) as the Administrative Agent shall deem relevant and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have no liability for the consequences of any such determination.

Section 9.02 Delegation of Duties. An Agent may execute any of its duties hereunder or under the other Senior Finance Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. An Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent nor any of its or their directors, officers, employees or agents shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection herewith or in connection with any of the other Senior Finance Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (except for its own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders or participants for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties

- 133 -

made by any of the Credit Parties contained herein or in any of the other Senior Finance Documents or in any certificate, report, document, financial statement or other written or oral statement referred to or provided for in, or received by an Agent under or in connection herewith or in connection with the other Senior Finance Documents, or enforceability or sufficiency therefor of any of the other Senior Finance Documents, or for any failure of any Credit Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder or be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained herein or therein or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or the use of the Letters of Credit or of the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Credit Parties.

Section 9.04 Reliance on Communications. The Agents shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex, teletype or e-mail message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to any of the Credit Parties, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agents). The Agents may deem and treat each Lender as the owner of its interests hereunder for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 10.06(b). The Agents shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or under any of the other Senior Finance Documents unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or the Required Term B-3 Lenders in the case of Section 2.01(d)) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agents shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or under any of the other Senior Finance Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or to the extent specifically provided in Section 10.03, all the Lenders, or to the extent involving Section 2.01(d), Required Term B-3 Lenders) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders (including their successors and assigns). Where this Agreement expressly permits or prohibits an action unless the Required Lenders or Required Term B-3 Lenders otherwise determine, any Agent shall, and in all other instances an Agent may, but shall not be required to, initiate any solicitation for the consent or vote of the Lenders.

Section 9.05 Notice of Default. An Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to such Agent for the accounts of the Lenders, unless such Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to the Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. If an Agent receives such a notice, such Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to each other Agent and the Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default or it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

Section 9.06 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Administrative Agent. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that no Agent has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereinafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender as to any matter, including whether any Agent has

- 134 -

disclosed material information in its possession. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other condition, prospects and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties, and all requirements of Law pertaining to the Transaction, and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Senior Finance Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Agents shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, assets, property, financial or other conditions, prospects or creditworthiness of any Credit Party or their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent.

Section 9.07 No Reliance on Arranger’s or Agent’s Customer Identification Program. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees may rely on either Lead Arranger or any Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the U.S. Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 C.F.R. 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of the Credit Parties, their Affiliates or agents, the Senior Finance Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i) any identification procedures; (ii) and recordkeeping; (iii) comparisons with government lists, (iv) customer notices; or (v) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other Laws.

Section 9.08 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or any other Credit Party and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower or any other Credit Party to do so), ratably according to their respective Commitments and outstanding principal balances of Term B Loans (or if the Commitments have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of outstanding Loans and Participation Interests of the Lenders), from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities which may at any time (including without limitation at any time following payment in full of the Senior Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against an Agent in its capacity as such in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Senior Finance Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by an Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or Required Term B-3 Lenders in accordance with Section 2.01(d)) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 9.08. If any indemnity furnished to an Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether

- 135 -

through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Senior Finance Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Credit Party. The agreements in this Section 9.08 shall survive the payment of the Senior Obligations and all other obligations and amounts payable hereunder and under the other Senior Finance Documents.

Section 9.09 Agents in Their Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire Equity Interests in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting and other business with the Borrower or any other Credit Party as though such Agent were not an Agent hereunder or under another Senior Finance Document. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to any such activities, an Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Credit Party or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Credit Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that no Agent shall be under any obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to the Loans made by and Letters of Credit issued by and all obligations owing to it, an Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it was not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

Section 9.10 Successor Agents. Any Agent may, at any time, resign upon 30 days’ written notice to the Lenders. If an Agent resigns under a Senior Finance Document, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor Agent, which successor Agent shall be consented to by the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment prior to the effective date of the resignation of the resigning Agent, then the resigning Agent shall have the right, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, to appoint a successor Agent; provided such successor is a Lender hereunder or an Eligible Assignee. If no successor Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the resigning Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor Agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor, 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 as an Agent, as appropriate, under this Agreement and the other Senior Finance Documents and the provisions of this Section 9.10 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under this Agreement. If no successor Administrative Agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent within 60 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless become effective and the Lenders shall perform all duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Likewise, if no successor Collateral Agent has accepted appointment as Collateral Agent within 60 days after the retiring Collateral Agent’s giving notice of resignation, the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless become effective and the Lenders shall perform all duties of the Collateral Agent under the Collateral Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Collateral Agent as provided for above.

Section 9.11 Certain Other Agents. None of the Lenders identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent”, “documentation agent”, “co-agent”, “bookrunner”, “lead manager” or “arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under the Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or any such Person so identified shall have or be deemed to

- 136 -

have any fiduciary relationship to any Lender or Credit Party. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

Section 9.12 Agents’ Fees; Arranger Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates for such Person’s own account, to the Collateral Agent for its own account and to the Lead Arrangers, in their capacity as Lead Arrangers, for their own account, fees in the amounts and at the times agreed upon from time to time between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates, the Collateral Agent and the Lead Arrangers, respectively, in each case with respect to this Agreement, the other Senior Finance Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

(i) no such amendment, change, waiver, discharge or termination shall, without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby:

(A) extend the final maturity of any Loan or the time of payment of any reimbursement obligation, or any portion thereof, arising from drawings under Letters of Credit, or extend or waive any Principal Amortization Payment or any portion thereof (it being understood that only Required Lenders are necessary to consent to the amendment or waiver of any prepayment required under Section 2.09(b)); provided that this clause (A) shall not restrict the ability of the Required Lenders to waive any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default the waiver of which would effectively result in

any such extension or waiver), prior to the time the Administrative Agent shall have declared, or the Required Lenders shall have requested the Administrative Agent to declare, the Loans immediately due and payable pursuant to Article VIII;

The Register shall be available at the offices where kept by the Administrative Agent for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior notice to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower may not replace any Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(d), unless, with respect to any Notes held by such Lender, the requirements of subsection 10.06(b) and this subsection 10.06(d) have been satisfied. The Administrative Agent shall update the Register on the First Amendment Effective Date to reflect the Revolving Commitments (including R-1 Revolving Commitments and R-2 Revolving Commitments), the

Term B Loans (including Term B-1 Loans and Term B-2 Loans) and the Delayed Draw Term B Loan Commitments, in each case, of the Lenders after giving effect to the First Amendment and the amendments to this Agreement effectuated thereby.

(e) Participations. Each Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender or any Agent, sell participations to one or more Persons in all or a portion of its rights, obligations or rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Loans, its Notes, its Commitments and any Participation Interest in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participant shall be entitled to the benefit of the right of setoff contained in Section 10.08 and the yield protection provisions contained in Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 and to the same extent that the Lender from which such participant acquired its participation would be entitled to the benefits of such yield protection provisions; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to reimburse any participant pursuant to Sections 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 in an amount which exceeds the amount that would have been payable thereunder to such Lender had such Lender not sold such participation and (iv) the Credit Parties, the Agents, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender 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, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Credit Parties relating to the Senior Obligations owing to such Lender and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on such Loans or Notes, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on such Loans or Notes or extending its Commitment).

(f) Other Assignments. Any Lender may at any time (i) assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Notes to a Federal Reserve Bank, (ii) pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its interest and rights under this Agreement (including all or any portion of its Notes, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender (including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment to any holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Lender as collateral security for such obligations or securities, or to any trustee for, or any other representative of such holders) and (iii) grant to an SPC referred to in subsection (h) below identified as such in writing from time to time by such Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loans that such Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that no such assignment, option, pledge or security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such Federal Reserve Bank or other Person to which such option, pledge or assignment has been made for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) Information. Any Lender may furnish any information concerning any Credit Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants), subject, however, to the provisions of Section 10.07.

(h) Other Funding Vehicles. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”) the option to fund all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to fund pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, (ii) if an 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, (iii) no SPC shall have any voting rights pursuant to Section 10.01 and (iv) with respect to notices, payments and other matters hereunder, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be obligated to

deal with an SPC, but may limit their communications and other dealings relevant to such SPC to the applicable Granting Lender. The funding of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the applicable Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent that, and as if, such Loan were funded by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any SPC may disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or guarantee to such SPC. This subsection (h) may not be amended without the prior written consent of each Granting Lender, all or any part of whose Loan is being funded by an SPC at the time of such amendment.

Section 10.07 Confidentiality and Disclosure. (a) Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, trustees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority (in which case the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to notify the “Borrower prior to such disclosure); (iii) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (iv) to any other party to this Agreement; (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder; (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.07, to (A) any Eligible Assignee of or participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (B) any direct or indirect contractual counterparty or prospective counterparty (or such contractual counterparty’s or prospective counterparty’s professional advisor) to any credit derivative transaction relating to obligations of the Borrower; (vii) with the consent of the Borrower; (viii) to the extent such information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.07 or (B) becomes available to an Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower; or (ix) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s or its Affiliates’ investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender or its Affiliates. For the purposes of this Section 10.07, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any of its Affiliates relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified in writing at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.07 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Agent and any Lender may place advertisements in financial and other newspapers and periodicals or on a home page or similar place for dissemination of information on the Internet or worldwide web as it may choose, and circulate similar promotional materials, after the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in the form of a “tombstone” or otherwise describing the names of the Credit Parties, or any of them, and the amount, type and closing date of such transactions, all at their sole expense.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other contrary provision in this Agreement or any other Senior Finance Documents, the parties hereto hereby agree that, from the commencement of

- 145 -

discussions with respect to the Transactions and the Senior Finance Documents, each of the parties hereto and each of their respective employees, representatives and other agents may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure (as such terms are used in Sections 6011, 6111 and 6112 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder) of the Senior Finance Documents and the Transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to any of the parties hereto relating to such tax treatment and tax structure, other than any information for which nondisclosure is reasonably necessary in order to comply with applicable securities laws; provided, however, that for this purpose the U.S. federal income tax treatment and U.S. federal income tax structure shall not include (i) the identity of any existing or future party (or affiliate of such party) to this Agreement or (ii) any specific market pricing information, including the amount of any fees, expenses, rates or payments, arising in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 10.08 Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Lender (and each of its Affiliates) is authorized at any time and from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind (all of such rights being hereby expressly waived), to set-off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or specific, but excluding Exempt Deposit Accounts as defined in the Security Agreement) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender (including, without limitation, branches, agencies or Affiliates of such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against obligations and liabilities of such Credit Party then due to the Lenders hereunder, under the Notes, under the other Senior Finance Documents or otherwise, and any such set-off shall be deemed to have been made immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default even though such charge is made or entered on the books of such Lender subsequent thereto. The Credit Parties hereby agree that to the extent permitted by law any Person purchasing a participation in the Loans, Commitments and LC Obligations hereunder pursuant to Section 2.01(c), 2.05(a) or (e), 2.13 or 10.06(e) may exercise all rights of set-off with respect to its participation interest as fully as if such Person were a Lender hereunder and any such set-off shall reduce the amount owed by such Credit Party to the Lender.

Section 10.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be charged or contracted for, charged or otherwise received by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 10.09, shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such Lender shall have received such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate to the date of payment.

Section 10.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.

Section 10.11 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Senior Finance Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of

- 146 -

any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Senior Finance Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Senior Finance Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Senior Finance Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

Section 10.12 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Senior Finance Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Agents and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Senior Obligation shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

Section 10.13 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement and the other Senior Finance Documents to which any Credit Party is a party that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions thereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 10.14 Headings. The headings of the sections and subsections hereof are provided for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

Section 10.15 Defaulting Lenders. Each Lender understands and agrees that if such Lender is a Defaulting Lender then, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.03, it shall not be entitled to vote on any matter requiring the consent of the Required Lenders or Required Term B-3 Lenders or to object to any matter requiring the consent of all the Lenders adversely affected thereby; provided, however, that all other benefits and obligations under the Senior Finance Documents shall apply to such Defaulting Lender, except as provided in Section 2.03(e).

Section 10.21 Amendment and Restatement. It is the intention of each of the parties hereto that the Existing Credit Agreement be amended and restated so as to preserve the perfection and priority of all security interests securing indebtedness and obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement and that all Indebtedness and obligations of the Borrower hereunder and thereunder shall be supported by the Guaranty and secured by the Collateral Documents and that this Agreement does not constitute a novation of the obligations and liabilities existing under the Existing Credit Agreement. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that this Agreement constitutes an amendment of the Existing Credit Agreement made under and in accordance with the terms of Section 10.03 of the Existing Credit Agreement. In addition, unless specifically amended or updated hereby, each of the Credit Documents, the Exhibits and Schedules to the Existing Credit Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and that, from and after the Effective Date, all references to the “Credit Agreement” contained therein shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement.

Section 10.22 Reaffirmation and Grant of Security Interests.

(a) Each Credit Party (other than the Borrower) has guaranteed the Finance Obligations and each Credit Party has created Liens in favor of Lenders on all Collateral to secure its obligations hereunder, under the Guaranty, the Security Agreement and the Pledge Agreement, respectively. Each Credit Party hereby acknowledges that it has reviewed the terms and provisions of this Agreement and consents to the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement effected pursuant to this Agreement. Each Credit Party hereby (i) confirms that each Credit Document to which it is a party or is otherwise bound and all Collateral encumbered thereby will continue to guarantee or secure, as the case may be, to the fullest extent possible in accordance with the Credit Documents, the payment and performance of the obligations under the Credit Documents, as the case may be, including without limitation, the payment and performance of all such obligations which are joint and several obligations of each Credit Party now or hereafter existing, and (ii) grants to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders a continuing lien on and security interest in and to such Credit Party’s right, title and interest in, to and under all Collateral as collateral security for the prompt payment and performance in full when due of the obligations of the Credit Parties under the Credit Documents (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise).

(b) Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that any of the Credit Documents to which it is a party or otherwise bound shall continue in full force and effect and that all of its obligations thereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be impaired or limited by the execution or

effectiveness of the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement, except (i) as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) that rights of acceleration and the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by equitable principles of general applicability (regardless of whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law). Each Credit Party represents and warrants that all representations and warranties contained in the Credit Documents to which it is a party or otherwise bound are true, correct and complete on and as of the Effective Date to the same extent as though made on and as of that date, except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, in which case they were true, correct and complete on and as of such earlier date.
