FIFTH AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT

AGREEMENT, made this 27th day of July, 2011, by and among:

HEALTH CARE REIT, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”);

Each Lender from time to time party hereto (individually, a “Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”); and

KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, as Administrative Agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, together with its successors in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”);

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Borrower and certain related entities, the Administrative Agent, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as Syndication Agent, and UBS Securities LLC, Bank of America, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Calyon New York Branch, Barclays Bank PLC, and Fifth Third Bank, as Documentation Agents, entered into a certain Fourth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated as of August 6, 2007 (as amended through the date hereof, the “Existing Loan Agreement”) with the financial institutions from time to time party thereto (collectively, the “Existing Lenders”) pursuant to which the Existing Lenders made certain loans to the Borrower and such related entities; and

WHEREAS, the Borrower desires to amend and restate the Existing Loan Agreement, in the form hereof, and the Lenders party hereto are willing to so amend and restate the Existing Loan Agreement, in order to, among other things, provide for a revolving credit facility from the Lenders to the Borrower in the aggregate principal amount of up to Two Billion ($2,000,000,000) Dollars on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree to amend and restate the Existing Loan Agreement in its entirety as follows:

Article 1. Definitions.

Section 1.1 Defined Terms.

As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Absolute Rate” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 2.1(b)(ii)(C).

“Additional Costs” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 2.18(b).

“Adjusted One-Month LIBOR Rate” means an interest rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/100 of 1%) equal to the quotient of (i) the interest rate

determined by the Administrative Agent by reference to the Reuters screen LIBOR01 Page (or on any successor or substitute page) to be the rate at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such date or, if such date is not a LIBOR Business Day, on the immediately preceding LIBOR Business Day, for Dollar deposits with a maturity equal to one (1) month divided by (ii) one (1) minus the Reserve Requirement for such Loan (expressed as a decimal) applicable to Dollar deposits in the London interbank market with a maturity equal to one (1) month.

“Affected Loans” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 2.21.

“Affected Type” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 2.21.

“Affiliate” means, as to any Person, any other Person that directly or indirectly controls, or is under common control with, or is controlled by, such Person. As used in this definition, “control” (including, with its correlative meanings, “controlled by” and “under common control with”) shall mean possession, directly or indirectly, of power to direct or cause the direction of management or policies (whether through ownership of securities or partnership or other ownership interests, by contract or otherwise), provided that, in any event: (a) any Person that owns directly or indirectly 15% or more of the securities having ordinary voting power for the election of directors or other governing body of a corporation or 15% or more of the partnership or other ownership interests of any other Person (other than as a limited partner of such other Person) will be deemed to control such corporation or other Person; and (b) each 15% or more shareholder, each director and each executive officer of the Borrower shall be deemed to be an Affiliate of the Borrower.

“Aggregate Exposure” means, with respect to any Lender as of any date, the sum as of such date of (i) the outstanding principal balance of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans, plus (ii) the outstanding principal balance of such Lender’s Bid Loans, plus (iii) such Lender’s Swing Line Exposure, plus (iv) such Lender’s LC Exposure.

“Agency Fee” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 2.7(d).

“Alternate Base Rate” means for any day, a rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16th of 1%) equal to the greatest of (a) the Base Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such day plus 0.5%, and (c) the Adjusted One-Month LIBOR Rate on such day plus 1%. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Base Rate, the Federal Funds Rate or the Adjusted One-Month LIBOR Rate shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Base Rate, the Federal Funds Rate or the Adjusted One-Month LIBOR Rate, respectively. Notwithstanding the reference to the Adjusted One-Month LIBOR Rate in this definition, such rate is for reference only, and the Alternate Base Rate shall in no event include “match-funding” of Revolving Credit Loans bearing interest based on the Alternate Base Rate or cause such Revolving Credit Loans to be subject to an interest period or adjustment of the rate due to taxes or the like; the unavailability of the Adjusted One-Month LIBOR Rate at any time shall result solely in the Alternate Base Rate being the higher of the other two rates.

2

“Applicable Margin” means, as at any date of determination, with respect to LIBOR Loans, Swing Line Loans, Base Rate Loans, and Letters of Credit, the applicable percentage per annum set forth below based upon the Ratings in effect on such date:

Xxxxx 0 XXX-/Xxx0		1.600%			0.600	%
Xxxxx 0 Xxxxx xxxx Xxxxx 0 or No Rating		1.950%			0.950	%

For purposes of the foregoing: (a)(i) at any time when the Borrower has Ratings from only two (2) Ratings Agencies, if the Ratings established by such Ratings Agencies shall fall within different levels and (A) the difference between such Ratings is one ratings category (e.g. Baa2 by Xxxxx’x and BBB- by S&P or Fitch) the Applicable Margin shall be based upon the higher of the two Ratings, or (B) the difference between such Ratings is two ratings categories (e.g. Baa1 by Xxxxx’x and BBB- by S&P or Fitch) or more, the median of the applicable Ratings shall apply, and (ii) at any time when the Borrower has Ratings from all three (3) Ratings Agencies, if the Ratings established by such Ratings Agencies shall fall within different levels and (A) the difference between the highest and the lowest such Ratings is one ratings category (e.g. Baa2 by Xxxxx’x and BBB- by S&P or Fitch), the highest of such Ratings shall apply, or (B) the difference between such Ratings is two ratings categories (e.g. Baa1 by Xxxxx’x and BBB- by S&P or Fitch) or more, the average of the two (2) highest Ratings shall apply, provided that if such average is not a recognized rating category, then the second highest Rating of the three shall apply; and (b) if any Rating shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of the applicable Ratings Agency), such change shall be effective as of the date on which it is first announced by the Ratings Agency making such change. Each such change in the Applicable Margin shall apply to all outstanding LIBOR Loans, Swing Line Loans, Base Rate Loans and Letters of Credit during the period commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change.

Each change in any interest rate provided for herein based upon the Base Rate resulting from a change in the Base Rate shall take effect at the time of such change in the Base Rate.

Article 2. Revolving Credit Commitments; Revolving Credit Loans; Bid Loans.

Section 2.1 Loans.

(a) Revolving Credit Loans. Each Lender hereby severally agrees, on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, to make loans (individually a “Revolving Credit Loan” and, collectively, the “Revolving Credit Loans”) to the Borrower during the Credit Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to, but not exceeding, an amount that will not result in such Lender’s Revolving Exposure exceeding the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender as then in effect; provided that the Total Aggregate Exposure shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment as then in effect. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, during the Credit Period the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Credit Loans.

(b) Bid Loans.

(i) General Terms. At any time commencing on the Effective Date and prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date, the Borrower may request the Lenders to make offers to make bid loans to the Borrower (each a “Bid Loan”); provided that (i) the sum of all Bid Loans outstanding shall not exceed 50% of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment as then in effect, (ii) the Total Aggregate Exposure shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment as then in effect; (iii) the aggregate amount of Bid Loans requested for any date and with the same Interest Period (each a “Bid Loan Borrowing”) shall be at least $2,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (iv) all Interest Periods applicable to Bid Loans shall be subject to and shall comply with the definition of “Interest Period”.

In no event shall Bid Loans be made to the Borrower unless, at the time such Loans are made, the Borrower’s senior implied rating by Xxxxx’x is Baa3 or higher and the Borrower’s corporate rating by S&P is BBB- or higher.

(ii) Bid Loan Procedures.

(A) When the Borrower wishes to request offers to make Bid Loans, it shall provide telephonic notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders) followed promptly by written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit D (each, a “Bid Loan Quote Request”) duly completed and executed by a duly authorized executive officer of the Borrower, so as to be received no later than 10:00 a.m., Cleveland, Ohio time, on the second Business Day before the proposed funding date (or such other time and date as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Required Lenders, may agree). Subject to the definition of “Interest Period”, the Borrower may request offers for up to three different Bid Loan Borrowings in a single Bid Loan Quote Request, in which case such Bid Loan Quote Request shall be deemed a separate Bid Loan Quote Request for each such borrowing. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.1(b), no Bid Loan Quote Request shall be given within five Business Days (or such other number of days as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Required Lenders, may agree) of any other Bid Loan Quote Request.

22

(B) Each Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, in response to any Bid Loan Quote Request submit one or more written quotes substantially in the form of Exhibit E (each a “Bid Loan Quote”), duly completed, each containing an offer to make a Bid Loan for the Interest Period requested and setting forth the Absolute Rate to be applicable to such Bid Loan; provided that (1) a Lender may make a single submission containing one or more Bid Loan Quotes in response to several Bid Loan Quote Requests given at the same time; and (2) the principal amount of the Bid Loan for which each such offer is being made shall be at least $2,000,000 and multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided that the aggregate principal amount of all Bid Loans for which a Lender submits Bid Loan Quotes (x) may be greater or less than the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender but (y) may not exceed the principal amount of the Bid Loan Borrowing for which offers were requested. Each Bid Loan Quote by a Lender other than the Person serving as the Administrative Agent must be submitted to the Administrative Agent by fax not later than 8:00 a.m., Cleveland, Ohio time, on the funding date (or such other time and date as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Required Lenders, may agree); provided that any Bid Loan Quote may be submitted by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as a Lender, only if the Person serving as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower of the terms of the offer contained therein not later than 7:45 a.m., Cleveland, Ohio time, on the funding date. Subject to Articles 4 and 8, any Bid Loan Quote so made shall be irrevocable except with the consent of the Administrative Agent given on the instructions of the Borrower. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, no Bid Loan Quote shall contain qualifying, conditional or similar language or propose terms other than or in addition to those set forth in the applicable Bid Loan Quote Request and, in particular, no Bid Loan Quote may be conditioned upon acceptance by the Borrower of all (or some specified minimum) of the principal amount of the Bid Loan for which such Bid Loan Quote is being made.

(C) The Administrative Agent shall, as promptly as practicable after any Bid Loan Quote is submitted (but in any event not later than 8:30 a.m., Cleveland, Ohio time, on the funding date, or 7:45 a.m., Cleveland, Ohio time, on the Funding Date with respect to any Bid Loan Quote submitted by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as a Lender), notify the Borrower of the terms (1) of any Bid Loan Quote submitted by a Lender that is in accordance with Section 2.1(b)(ii)(B) and (2) of any Bid Loan Quote that amends, modifies or is otherwise inconsistent with a previous Bid Loan Quote submitted by such Lender with respect to the same Bid Loan Quote Request. Any subsequent Bid Loan Quote shall be disregarded by the Administrative Agent unless the subsequent Bid Loan Quote is submitted solely to correct a manifest error in a former Bid Loan Quote. The Administrative Agent’s notice to the Borrower shall specify (x) the aggregate principal amount of the Bid Loan Borrowing for which Bid Loan Quotes have been received, and (y) (I) the respective principal amounts and (II) the rates of interest (which shall be expressed as an absolute number and not in terms of a specified margin over the quoting Lender’s cost of funds) (the “Absolute Rate”) so offered by each Lender (identifying the Lender that made each such Bid Loan Quote).

23

(D) Not later than 9:00 a.m., Cleveland, Ohio time, on the funding date (or such other time and date as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, with the consent of each Lender that has submitted a Bid Loan Quote may agree), the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of its acceptance or nonacceptance of the Bid Loan Quotes so notified to it pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(ii)(C) (and the failure of the Borrower to give such notice by such time shall constitute nonacceptance), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender. In the case of acceptance, such notice shall specify the aggregate principal amount of offers for each Interest Period that are accepted. The Borrower may accept any Bid Loan Quote in whole or in part; provided that (1) any Bid Loan Quote accepted in part shall be at least $1,000,000 and multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; (2) the aggregate principal amount of each Bid Loan Borrowing may not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the related Bid Loan Quote Request; (3) the aggregate principal amount of each Bid Loan Borrowing shall be at least $2,000,000 and multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and shall not cause the limits specified in Section gg) to be violated; (4) acceptance of offers may be made only in ascending order of Absolute Rates, beginning with the lowest rate so offered; and (5) the Borrower may not accept any offer where the Administrative Agent has advised the Borrower that such offer fails to comply with Section g) or otherwise fails to comply with the requirements of this Agreement (including Section 2.1(a)). If offers are made by two or more Lenders with the same Absolute Rates for a greater aggregate principal amount than the amount in respect of which offers are permitted to be accepted for the related Interest Period, the principal amount of Bid Loans in respect of which such offers are accepted shall be allocated by the Borrower among such Lenders as nearly as possible (in amounts of at least $1,000,000 and multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof) in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of such offers. Determinations by the Borrower of the amounts of Bid Loans shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, the Borrower shall have no obligation to accept any Bid Loan Quote by a Defaulting Lender.

(E) Subject to the terms set forth in this Agreement, any Lender whose offer to make any Bid Loan has been accepted shall, prior to 10:00 a.m., Cleveland, Ohio time, on the date specified for the making of such Loan, make the amount of such Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, for the account of the Borrower. The amount so received by the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be made available to the Borrower on or before 11:00 a.m., Cleveland, Ohio time, on such date by depositing the same, in immediately available funds, in an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower and maintained with the Administrative Agent.

The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent written notice of each termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments, each borrowing, continuation, conversion, repayment and prepayment of each Revolving Credit Loan and of the duration of each Interest Period applicable to each LIBOR Loan. Each such Borrowing Notice shall be irrevocable and shall be effective only if received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., Cleveland, Ohio time, on the date that is:

(a) In the case of each notice of termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments, five Business Days prior to the date of the related termination or reduction;

24

(b) In the case of each notice of borrowing and repayment of, or conversion into, Base Rate Loans, one Business Day prior to the date of the related borrowing or repayment or conversion; and

(c) In the case of each notice of borrowing or repayment of, or conversion into, LIBOR Loans, or the duration of an Interest Period for LIBOR Loans, two LIBOR Business Days prior to the date of the related borrowing, repayment or conversion or the first day of such Interest Period.

Each such notice of termination or reduction shall specify the amount thereof. Each such notice of borrowing, conversion, continuation, repayment or prepayment shall specify the amount (subject to Section 2.1(a)) and Type of Loans to be borrowed, converted, continued, repaid or prepaid (and, in the case of a conversion, the Type of Loans to result from such conversion), the date of borrowing, continuation, conversion, repayment or prepayment (which shall be: (i) a Business Day in the case of each borrowing or repayment of Base Rate Loans, and (ii) a LIBOR Business Day in the case of each borrowing, continuation, prepayment, or repayment of LIBOR Loans and each conversion of or into a LIBOR Loan). Each such notice of the duration of an Interest Period shall specify the Loans to which such Interest Period is to relate. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of the content of each such Borrowing Notice promptly after its receipt thereof.

Section 2.3 Disbursement of Loan Proceeds.

Not later than 1:00 p.m., Cleveland, Ohio time, on the date specified for each borrowing hereunder, each Lender shall transfer to the Administrative Agent, by wire transfer or otherwise, but in any event in immediately available funds, the amount of the Revolving Credit Loan to be made by it on such date, and the Administrative Agent, upon its receipt thereof, upon compliance with the requirements of Sections 4.1 and 4.2, as applicable, shall disburse such sum to the Borrower by depositing the amount thereof in an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower and maintained with the Administrative Agent.

Section 2.4 Notes, etc.

(a) Evidence of Loans. The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the

25

Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a promissory note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each such promissory note shall (i) in the case of Revolving Credit Loans, be a Revolving Credit Note, (ii) in the case of the Bid Loans, be a Bid Loan Note, and (iii) in the case of Swing Line Loans, be a Swing Line Note. Each Note shall, by its terms, mature in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement applicable to the relevant Loans.

(b) Notation of Amounts and Maturities, Etc. Each Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized to record on the schedule attached to its Notes (or a continuation thereof) the information contemplated by such schedule. The failure to record, or any error in recording, any such information shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any Note to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. All such notations shall constitute conclusive evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded, in the absence of manifest error.

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

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein in this Section 2.4, in the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Swing Line Commitment, provided that the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Swing Line Commitment if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Swing Line Loans in accordance with Section 2.23(c), the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Swing Line Loans would exceed the Swing Line Commitment. Any such termination or reduction in the Swing Line Commitment shall be permanent and irrevocable.

(c) Repayment of a LIBOR Loan on a day other than the last day of the relevant Interest Period relating thereto shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.22; and all repayments of principal (whether mandatory or voluntary) shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans, then to the fewest number of Types of LIBOR Loans as possible.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Post-Default Rate.

(c) Except as provided in the next sentence, accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable: (i) in the case of each Base Rate Loan, quarterly on the Quarterly Dates, (ii) in the case of a LIBOR Loan and a Bid Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period for such Loan (and, if such Interest Period exceeds three months’ duration, quarterly, commencing on the first quarterly anniversary of the first day of such Interest Period), and (iii) in the case of any Loan, upon the payment or repayment thereof or the conversion thereof into a Loan of another Type (but only on the principal so paid, repaid or converted); provided, however, that (A) Bid Loans may not be continued or converted and (B) this clause (iii) shall not apply in the case of a conversion of a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan. Interest that is payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand of the Administrative Agent.

(d) Anything in this Agreement or any of the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligation of the Borrower to make payments of interest shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required to be made to any Lender to the extent that such Lender’s receipt thereof would not be permissible under the law or laws applicable to such Lender limiting rates of interest that may be charged or collected by such Lender. Any such payments of interest that are not made as a result of the limitation referred to in the preceding sentence shall be made by the Borrower to such Lender on the earliest interest payment date or dates on which the receipt thereof would be permissible under the laws applicable to such Lender limiting rates of interest that may be charged or collected by such Lender. Such deferred interest shall not bear interest.

The Loans of each Type made by each Lender shall be made and maintained at such Lender’s applicable Lending Office for Loans of such Type.

Section 2.13 Several Obligations.

The failure of any Lender to make any Loan to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve the other Lenders of their respective obligations to make their Loans on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of the other Lenders to make Loans to be made by such other Lenders.

Section 2.14 Pro Rata Treatment Among Lenders.

Except as otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans from the Lenders under Section 2.1(a) will be made from the Lenders and each payment of each Fee (other than the Agency Fee and Fees payable pursuant to Section 2.7(c)) shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata according to the amount of their respective Revolving Percentages; (b) each partial reduction of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall be applied to the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders pro rata according to each Lender’s respective Revolving Percentage; (c) each payment and repayment of principal of or interest on Revolving Credit Loans will be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans held by such Lenders; (d) each conversion of Revolving Credit Loans of a particular Type under Section 2.17 (other than conversions provided for by Section 2.20 or 2.21) shall be made pro rata among the Lenders holding Revolving Credit Loans of such Type according to the respective principal amounts of such Revolving Credit Loans held by such Lenders; (e) each payment by the Borrower of principal of Bid Loans made as part of the same Bid Loan Borrowing shall be made and applied for the account of the Lenders holding such Bid Loans pro rata according to the respective unpaid principal amount of such Bid Loans owed to such Lenders and each payment by the Borrower of interest on Bid Loans shall be made and applied for the account of the Lenders holding such Bid Loans pro rata according to the respective accrued but unpaid interest on the Bid Loans owed to such Lenders.

Section 2.15 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent.

Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender or the Borrower (the “Payor”) prior to the date on which such Lender is to make payment to the Administrative Agent of the proceeds of a Loan to be made by it hereunder or the Borrower is to make a payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of one or more of the Lenders, as the case may be (such payment being herein called the “Required Payment”), which notice shall

31

be effective upon receipt, that the Payor does not intend to make the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient on such date and, if the Payor has not in fact made the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount made available to it together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) when the recipient is a Lender, the Federal Funds Rate for such day, or (ii) when the recipient is the Borrower, the rate of interest applicable to such Loan.

Section 2.16 Sharing of Payments and Set-Off Among Lenders.

The Borrower hereby agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim a Lender may otherwise have, each Lender shall be entitled, at its option, to offset balances held by it at any of its offices against any principal of or interest on any of its Loans hereunder or any Fee payable to it, that is not paid when due (regardless of whether such balances are then due the Borrower), in which case it shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof, provided that its failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof. If a Lender shall effect payment of any principal of or interest on Revolving Credit Loans held by it under this Agreement or any Fee through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar right, it shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders participations in the Revolving Credit Loans held by the other Lenders in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such payment pro rata in accordance with the unpaid amount of principal and interest on the Revolving Credit Loans held by each of them and the Fees due them. To such end all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation in the Revolving Credit Loans held by the other Lenders may exercise all rights of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Revolving Credit Loans in the amount of such participation. If a Lender shall effect payment of any principal of or interest or fee on Bid Loans made as part of the same Bid Loan Borrowing held by it under this Agreement through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar right, it shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders holding such Bid Loans participations in such Bid Loans held by the other Lenders holding such Bid Loans in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders holding such Bid Loans shall share the benefit of such payment pro rata in accordance with the unpaid amount of principal and interest or fee on Bid Loans of the same Bid Loan Borrowing held by each of them. To such end all such Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation in Bid Loans of the same Bid Loan Borrowing held by other Lenders may exercise all rights of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of such Bid Loans in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein

32

shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower.

Section 2.17 Conversion of Loans.

The Borrower shall have the right to convert Revolving Credit Loans of one Type into Revolving Credit Loans of another Type from time to time, provided that: (i) the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice of each such conversion as provided in Section 2.2; (ii) LIBOR Loans may be converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Loans; and (iii) no Base Rate Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Loan continued as or converted into another LIBOR Loan if on the proposed date of conversion a Default or an Event of Default exists. The Administrative Agent shall use its best efforts to notify the Borrower of the effectiveness of such conversion, and the new interest rate to which the converted Revolving Credit Loans are subject, as soon as practicable after the conversion; provided, however, that any failure to give such notice shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations, or the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ rights and remedies, hereunder in any way whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) Swing Line Loans shall be based solely on the respective Swing Line Lender’s cost of funds as set forth in Section 2.6(a)(ii) and shall not be made or converted to LIBOR Loans or Base Rate Loans, and (b) Bid Loans may not be continued or converted but instead must be repaid in full at the end of the applicable Interest Period therefor.

Section 2.18 Additional Costs; Capital Requirements.

(a) In the event that any Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable or result in the application of, any capital maintenance, capital ratio or similar requirement against commitments made by any Lender hereunder, and the result of any event referred to above is to impose upon any Lender or any corporation controlling any Lender or increase any capital requirement applicable as a result of the making or maintenance of such Lender’s commitments (including its Revolving Credit Commitment and/or its commitment to issue and maintain or participate in Letters of Credit) or the obligation of the Borrower hereunder with respect to such commitments (which imposition of capital requirements may be determined by each Lender’s reasonable allocation of the aggregate of such capital increases or impositions), then, within ten Business Days of demand made by such Lender as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge that such Change in Law exists and determines to make such demand, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender from time to time as specified by such Lender additional amounts which shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender or such controlling corporation for such imposition of or increase in capital requirements together with interest on each such amount from the date demanded until payment in full thereof at the Post-Default Rate. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount necessary to compensate such Lender or such controlling corporation as a result of an imposition of or increase in capital requirements submitted by such Lender to the Borrower shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, as to the amount thereof. All references to any “Lender” shall be deemed to include any participant of such Lender.

33

(b) In the event that any Change in Law shall: (i) change the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to any Lender under this Agreement in respect of any Obligations including, without limitation, LIBOR Loans and the issuance and maintenance of and participations in Letters of Credit (other than taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Lender for any such Loans or in respect of any Letters of Credit (or participations therein) by the United States of America or the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal office); or (ii) impose or modify any reserve, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation premium or assessment, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Lender (including any of such Loans, any Letters of Credit (or participations therein) or any deposits referred to in the definition of “LIBOR Base Rate” in Article 1); or (iii) impose any other conditions affecting this Agreement in respect of extensions of credit, including, without limitation, LIBOR Loans and the issuance and maintenance of and participations in Letters of Credit (or any of such extensions of credit, assets, deposits or liabilities); and the result of any event referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above shall be to increase such Lender’s costs of making or maintaining any extensions of credit including, without limitation, LIBOR Loans and Letters of Credit (and participations therein), or its commitments (including its Revolving Credit Commitment and/or its commitment to issue and maintain or participate in Letters of Credit), or to reduce any amount receivable by such Lender hereunder in respect of any such commitment (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable are hereinafter referred to as “Additional Costs”) in each case, only to the extent, with respect to LIBOR Loans, that such Additional Costs are not included in the LIBOR Base Rate applicable to LIBOR Loans, then, within ten Business Days of demand made by such Lender as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge that such a Change in Law exists and determines to make such demand (a copy of which demand shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts which shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction in amounts receivable by such Lender from the date of such Change in Law, together with interest on each such amount from the date demanded until payment in full thereof at the Post-Default Rate. All references to any “Lender” shall be deemed to include any participant of such Lender.

(c) Without limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.18, in the event that, by reason of any Change in Law, any Lender either: (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender which includes LIBOR Loans, or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make or continue, and to convert Loans of any other Type into, Loans of such Type hereunder shall be suspended until the date such Change in Law ceases to be in effect (and all Loans of such Type then outstanding shall be converted into Base Rate Loans or into LIBOR Loans of another duration, as the case may be, in accordance with Sections 2.17 and 2.21).

(d) Determinations by any Lender for purposes of this Section 2.18 of the effect of any Change in Law on its costs of making or maintaining Loans or issuing and

34

maintaining or participating in Letters of Credit or on amounts receivable by it in respect thereof, and of the additional amounts required to compensate such Lender in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be set forth in writing in reasonable detail describing the Additional Costs together with a calculation demonstrating the allocation to the Borrower of such Additional Costs which shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.18 shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 2.19 Limitation on Types of Loans.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of an interest rate for any LIBOR Loans for any Interest Period therefor, the Required Lenders determine (which determination shall be conclusive):

(a) by reason of any event affecting the money markets in the United States of America or the London interbank market, quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining the rate of interest for such Loans under this Agreement; or

(b) the rates of interest referred to in the definition of “LIBOR Base Rate” in Article 1 upon the basis of which the rate of interest on any LIBOR Loans for such period is determined, do not accurately reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans for such period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof (and shall thereafter give the Borrower and each Lender prompt notice of the cessation, if any, of such condition), and so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to make or continue Loans of such Type or to convert Loans of any other Type into Loans of such Type and the Borrower shall, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding Loans of the affected Type either repay such Loans in accordance with Section 2.5 or convert such Loans into Loans of another Type in accordance with Section 2.17.

Section 2.20 Illegality.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to: (a) honor its obligation to make LIBOR Loans hereunder or (b) maintain LIBOR Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), describing such illegality in reasonable detail (and shall thereafter promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of the cessation, if any, of such illegality), and such Lender’s obligation to make or continue LIBOR Loans and to convert Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans hereunder shall, upon written notice given by such Lender to the Borrower, be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans and such Lender’s outstanding LIBOR Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Loans, in accordance with Sections 2.17 and 2.21.

35

Section 2.21 Certain Conversions pursuant to Sections 2.18 and 2.20.

If the Loans of any Lender of a particular Type (Loans of such Type are hereinafter referred to as “Affected Loans” and such Type is hereinafter referred to as the “Affected Type”) are to be converted pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.20, such Lender’s Affected Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Loans, or LIBOR Loans of another Type, as the case may be (the “New Type Loans”), on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the Affected Loans (or, in the case of a conversion required by Section 2.18(b) or Section 2.20, on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to the Borrower with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and, until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 2.18 or 2.20 which gave rise to such conversion no longer exist:

(a) to the extent that such Lender’s Affected Loans have been so converted, all repayments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such Affected Loans shall be applied instead to its New Type Loans; and

(b) all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Lender as Loans of the Affected Type shall be made instead as New Type Loans and all Loans of such Lender which would otherwise be converted into Loans of the Affected Type shall be converted instead into (or shall remain as) New Type Loans.

Section 2.22 Indemnification.

The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of such Lender through the Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as shall compensate such Lender for any loss (including loss of profit), cost or expense incurred by such Lender (as reasonably determined by such Lender) as a result of:

(a) any payment or repayment or conversion of a LIBOR Loan held by such Lender on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan except pursuant to Sections 2.18 or 2.20;

(b) any failure by the Borrower to borrow or continue, or convert into, a LIBOR Loan held by such Lender on the date for such borrowing, continuation or conversion specified in the relevant Borrowing Notice under Section 2.2 or 2.17; or

(c) any prepayment of a Bid Loan due to acceleration pursuant to Article 8 or otherwise,

such compensation to include, without limitation, an amount equal to: (i) any loss or expense suffered by such Lender during the period from the date of receipt of such early payment or repayment or prepayment or the date of such conversion or the date of such failure to the last day of such Interest Period if the rate of interest obtainable by such Lender upon the redeployment of an amount of funds equal to such Lender’s pro rata share of such payment, prepayment or conversion or failure to borrow, continue or convert is less than the rate of interest applicable to such LIBOR Loan for such Interest Period, and (ii) any loss or expense suffered by such Lender in liquidating deposits prior to maturity which correspond to such Lender’s pro rata share of such payment, repayment, prepayment, conversion, failure to borrow, failure to continue or failure to

36

convert. The determination by each such Lender of the amount of any such loss or expense, when set forth in a written notice to the Borrower, containing such Lender’s calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall be presumed correct, in the absence of manifest error. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.22 shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 2.23 Swing Line Loans.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in Section 2.23(d), to make swing line loans (each a “Swing Line Loan” and, collectively, the “Swing Line Loans”), ratably in accordance with their respective Swing Line Percentages, to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date of this Agreement to the sixth Business Day preceding the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date, in an aggregate amount with respect to all Swing Line Lenders not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Commitment, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Revolving Percentage of the outstanding amount of Revolving Credit Loans, the Bid Loans and the LC Exposure of a Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Swing Line Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan (i) the Total Aggregate Exposure will not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, and (ii) with respect to each individual Lender, such Lender’s Revolving Exposure shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. The Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loans.

(b) To request a Swing Line Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent and each Swing Line Lender by the delivery of a Borrowing Notice, which shall be sent by facsimile and shall be irrevocable (confirmed promptly by hand delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Notice in a form approved by the Administrative Agent signed by the Borrower), no later than: 11:00 a.m., Cleveland, Ohio time, on the requested borrowing date, specifying (i) the aggregate principal amount to be borrowed and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each Swing Line Lender will, subject to its determination that the terms and conditions of this Agreement have been satisfied, make its Swing Line Percentage of the requested amount available promptly on that same day to the Administrative Agent (for the account of the Borrower) which, thereupon, will promptly make such amount available to the Borrower by crediting the account of the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.3. Each borrowing of a Swing Line Loan shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and if in excess thereof, in integral multiples of $1,000,000, or, if less, the unused portion of the Swing Line Commitment.

(c) Neither Swing Line Lender shall be obligated to make any Swing Line Loan at a time when any Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender unless arrangements to eliminate such Swing Line Lender’s risk (substantially similar to those provided in Section 2.27(c)) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in such Swing Line Loan shall have been made for the benefit of such Swing Line Lender and such arrangements are satisfactory to such Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent. Neither Swing Line Lender will make a Swing Line Loan if the Administrative Agent, or any Lender by notice to the Swing Line Lenders and the Borrower no later than one Business Day prior to the borrowing

37

date with respect to such Swing Line Loan, shall have determined that the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 shall not be satisfied and such conditions remain unsatisfied as of the requested time of the making of such Swing Line Loan. Each Swing Line Loan shall be due and payable on the earliest to occur of (i) the fifteenth day after the borrowing date thereof, (ii) the fifth Business Day prior to the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date, (iii) the date on which the Swing Line Commitment shall have been terminated by the Borrower or the Swing Line Lenders in accordance with Section 2.5(b), or (iv) the date on which the Swing Line Loans shall become due and payable pursuant to the provisions hereof, whether by acceleration or otherwise. No more than five (5) Swing Line Loans shall be outstanding at the same time.

(d) Upon each receipt by a Lender of notice of an Event of Default from the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article 9, such Lender shall purchase unconditionally, irrevocably, and severally from the Swing Line Lenders a participation in the outstanding Swing Line Loans (including accrued interest thereon) in an amount equal to the product of its Revolving Percentage and the outstanding amount of the Swing Line Loans (the “Swing Line Participation Amount”). Each Lender shall also be liable for an amount equal to the product of its Revolving Percentage and any amounts paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.23(d) that are subsequently rescinded or avoided, or must otherwise be restored or returned. Such liabilities shall be unconditional and without regard to the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default or the compliance by the Borrower with any of its obligations under the Loan Documents. In furtherance of this Section 2.23(d), upon each receipt by a Lender of notice of an Event of Default from the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall promptly make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lenders, as applicable, its Swing Line Participation Amount, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall deliver the payments made by each Lender pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence to the Swing Line Lenders, as applicable, promptly upon receipt thereof in like funds as received. If a Lender does not make its Swing Line Participation Amount so available, such Lender shall be required to pay interest to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lenders, as applicable, from the date such amount was due until paid in full, on the unpaid portion thereof, at the rate set forth in Section 2.15, payable upon demand by the Swing Line Lenders, as applicable. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such interest payments to the Swing Line Lenders, as applicable, upon receipt thereof in like funds as received. Whenever the Administrative Agent is reimbursed by the Borrower, for the account of the Swing Line Lenders, as applicable, for any payment in connection with Swing Line Loans and such payment relates to an amount previously paid by a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.23, the Administrative Agent will promptly pay over such payment to such Lender.

Section 2.24 Letters of Credit.

(a) The Letter of Credit Commitment.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) each LC Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section 2.24, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit in Dollars for the account of the Borrower (which may be in support of obligations of the Borrower or in support of obligations of

38

a Subsidiary), and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower and any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any LC Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (x) the Total Aggregate Exposure shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, (y) with respect to each individual Lender, such Lender’s Revolving Exposure shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and (z) the LC Exposure shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment. Each request by the Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the LC Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the provisos to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

(ii) The LC Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit if the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur (A) more than one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) or (B) after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date (except that a Letter of Credit may expire up to one year beyond the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date so long as the Borrower Cash Collateralizes (as provided in Section 2.28) the LC Exposure with respect to such Letter of Credit no later than 30 days prior to the Letter of Credit Expiration Date).

(iii) The LC Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

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

(B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the LC Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;

(C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the LC Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $50,000;

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

39

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

(F) any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the LC Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the LC Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower.

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

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

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit.

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the LC Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a duly authorized executive officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., Cleveland, Ohio time, at least five Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the LC Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit; and (H) such other matters as the LC Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the LC Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the LC Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the LC Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, the LC Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the LC Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article 4 shall

40

not be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the LC Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the LC Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the LC Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Revolving Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(iii) 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 LC Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. On a monthly basis, each LC Issuer shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a complete list of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by the LC Issuer as provided in Section 2.24(j).

(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of drawing under such Letter of Credit, the LC Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m., Cleveland, Ohio time, on the date of any payment by the LC Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse the LC Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the LC Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount with respect to such Letter of Credit, and the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.10 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 (other than the delivery of a Borrowing Notice) and provided that, after giving effect to such Borrowing, the Total Aggregate Exposure shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment. Any notice given by the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.24(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.24(c)(i) make funds available for the account of the LC Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Revolving Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m., Cleveland, Ohio time, on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.24(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the LC Issuer.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall

41

be deemed to have incurred from the LC Issuer an LC Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which LC Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Post-Default Rate. In such event, each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the LC Issuer pursuant to Section 2.24(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such LC Borrowing and shall constitute an LC Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.24.

(iv) Until each Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loan or LC Advance pursuant to this Section 2.24(c) to reimburse the LC Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the LC Issuer.

(v) Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or LC Advances to reimburse the LC Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.24(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the LC Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) solely with respect to LC Advances, the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing (other than the issuance of a Letter of Credit after a Lender has given the notice described in Section 2.24(b)(ii)); provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.24(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Borrowing Notice). No such making of an LC Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the LC Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the LC Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the LC Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.24(c) by the time specified in Section 2.24(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, the LC Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the LC Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the LC Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the LC Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan included in the relevant borrowing or LC Advance in respect of the relevant LC Borrowing, as the case may be, as of the date of such borrowing or LC Borrowing. A certificate of the LC Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

42

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after the LC Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s LC Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.24(c), if the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the LC Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise), the LC Issuer shall turn over such payment to the Administrative Agent for distribution to such Lender and the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender, in each case, its Revolving Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent for the account of the LC Issuer and distributed to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.24(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 2.5(e), each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the LC Issuer its Revolving Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the LC Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each LC Borrowing and each Revolving Credit Loan made pursuant to Section 2.24(c)(i) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any other Loan Document;

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the LC Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv) any payment by the LC Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the LC Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any similar proceeding under any other applicable Law; or

43

(v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the LC Issuer. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the LC Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f) Role of LC Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the LC Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by such Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the LC Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties or any correspondent, participant or assignee of the LC Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against such beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the LC Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any of their respective Related Parties or any correspondent, participant or assignee of the LC Issuers shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.24(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the LC Issuer, and the LC Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) were caused by the LC Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the LC Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit (other than as a result of an order of a court of competent jurisdiction). In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the LC Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the LC Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

44

(g) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the LC Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance, shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

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

(i) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of a Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the LC Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

(j) Letters of Credit Reports. For so long as any Letter of Credit issued by the LC Issuer is outstanding, the LC Issuer shall deliver to the Administrative Agent on the last Business Day of each calendar month, and on each date that an LC Credit Extension occurs with respect to any such Letter of Credit, a report in the form of Exhibit F, appropriately completed with the information for every outstanding Letter of Credit issued by the LC Issuer.

Section 2.25 Extension of Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date.

Subject to the following provisions, the Borrower shall have the option to extend the initial Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date to July 27, 2016. By written notice to the Administrative Agent delivered at least 30 days, but not more than 90 days, prior to the initial Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred since the date of this Agreement, the Borrower may request such extension of the initial Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date (which request shall be accompanied by a Compliance Certificate). Promptly upon receipt of such written notice, the Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy to each Lender and the initial Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date shall be deemed so extended. In the event that the Borrower shall have delivered an extension notice under this Section 2.25, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders on the initial Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date, a non-refundable extension fee in an amount equal to 25 basis points multiplied by the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, as then in effect.

Section 2.26 Increase in Total Revolving Credit Commitment.

(a) The Borrower may at its sole expense and effort and after consulting with the Administrative Agent, request: (i) one or more Lenders acceptable to the Administrative Agent to increase (in the sole and absolute discretion of each such Lender) the

45

amount of their respective Revolving Credit Commitments, and/or (ii) one or more other lending institutions acceptable to the Administrative Agent (each, a “New Lender”) to become “Lenders” and extend Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder (each such existing Lender and each New Lender being referred to as a “Proposed Lender”). To request an increase pursuant to this Section 2.26 (the “Commitment Increase”), the Borrower shall submit to the Administrative Agent a written increase request signed by the Borrower and in form approved by the Administrative Agent (the “Increase Request”), which shall specify, as the case may be: (A) each such existing Lender and the amount of the proposed increase to its Revolving Credit Commitment, or (B) the proposed Revolving Credit Commitment for each New Lender. Promptly following receipt of the Increase Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Proposed Lender of the details thereof.

(b) If one or more Proposed Lender(s) shall have unconditionally agreed to such Increase Request in a writing delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at any time prior to the 30th day following the date of the delivery to such Proposed Lenders(s) of the Increase Request (each such Proposed Lender being hereinafter referred to as an “Incremental Lender”), then: (x) each such Incremental Lender which shall then be an existing Lender shall have its Revolving Credit Commitment increased by the amount set forth in the Increase Request, and (y) each such Incremental Lender which shall then be a New Lender shall be and become a “Lender” hereunder having a Revolving Credit Commitment equal to the amount set forth in such Increase Request, provided, however, that (1) immediately before and after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default shall or would exist, (2) each such Incremental Lender shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent a supplement to this Agreement providing for its increased Revolving Credit Commitment or its Revolving Credit Commitment, as applicable, in form approved by the Administrative Agent, (3) immediately after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall not exceed $2,500,000,000 less the amount of any permanent reductions under Section 2.5(b), (4) the increase of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment specified in the Increase Request shall be not less than $25,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof, (5) the minimum Revolving Credit Commitment extended by each Incremental Lender which is a New Lender shall be in an amount of not less than $15,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and (6) the minimum increase to the Revolving Credit Commitment extended by each Incremental Lender which is an existing Lender shall be in an amount of not less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Any increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall not increase the Letter of Credit Commitment or Swing Line Commitment.

(c) Simultaneously with each Commitment Increase under this Section 2.26, each Incremental Lender shall, to the extent necessary, purchase from each other existing Lender, and each other existing Lender shall sell to each Incremental Lender, in each case at par and without representation, warranty, or recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.13), such principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans of such other existing Lender(s), together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, as will result, after giving effect to such transaction, in each Lender’s pro rata share of Revolving Credit Loans outstanding being equal to such Lender’s pro rata share of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, provided that each such assignor Lender shall have received (to the extent of the interests, rights and obligations assigned) payment then due and owing of the outstanding

46

principal amount of its Revolving Credit Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees, commissions and all other amounts payable to it under the Loan Documents from the applicable assignee Lenders (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest, fees and commissions) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts).

Section 2.27 Defaulting Lenders.

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

(a) fees under Section 2.7(a) shall cease to accrue for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender on that portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment that exceeds the outstanding amount of the Loans funded by it;

(b) the Revolving Credit Commitment and the Revolving Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 10.6, other than in respect of an increase in the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment or an extension of the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which adversely affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;

(c) if any Swing Line Loans or LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i) all or any part of the contingent obligations of the Lenders in respect of such Swing Line Exposure and LC Exposure shall, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time, be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure and Swing Line Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, (A) prepay the Swing Line Loans and (B) Cash Collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrower Cash Collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to this Section 2.27(c), the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to 2.7 with respect to such Cash Collateralized portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is Cash Collateralized;

47

(iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.27(c), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.7 shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Percentages; and

(v) if any Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither Cash Collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.27(c), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder, all fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.7 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure that is neither Cash Collateralized nor reallocated shall be payable to the LC Issuer until such LC Exposure is fully Cash Collateralized and/or reallocated;

(d) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) a Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loan and (ii) the LC Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend, renew, increase or extend any Letter of Credit unless such Swing Line Lender or the LC Issuer, respectively, is satisfied, in its sole discretion, that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or Cash Collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.27(c), and participating interests in any such newly issued, amended, renewed, increased or extended Letter of Credit or newly made Swing Line Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.27(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); and

(e) any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated account and subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, to the Cash Collateralization of any participating interest in any Letter of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, (iii) third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, held in such account as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of any Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, (iv) fourth, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower or the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower or any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement and (v) fifth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction, provided that if such payment is (x) a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loan and (y) made at a time when the conditions set forth in Article 4 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loan of any Defaulting Lender.

(f) In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then on such date the LC Exposure and Swing Line Exposure of Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Credit Loans of the other

48

Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Credit Loans in accordance with its Revolving Percentage. Except as expressly modified by this Section 2.27, the performance by the Borrower under any Loan Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of this Section 2.27.

(g) In the event that any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall have the right, at its own expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, to require such Lender to transfer and assign without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.6) all its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more other financial institutions acceptable to (i) the Borrower (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and (ii) the Administrative Agent, which consent, in each case shall not be unreasonably withheld, which financial institution shall assume such obligations; provided that (A) no such assignment shall conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any Governmental Authority, and (B) the Borrower or the assignee or assignees, as the case may be, shall pay to such Defaulting Lender in immediately available funds on the date of such assignment the principal of and interest accrued to the date of payment on the Loans made by it hereunder and all other amounts accrued for its account or owed to it hereunder. Upon receipt by such Defaulting Lender of all amounts required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.27, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated) and authorized to execute an Assignment and Assumption on behalf of such Defaulting Lender, and any such Assignment and Assumption so executed by the Administrative Agent and the assignee shall be effective for purposes of this Section 2.27 and Section 10.13. A Defaulting Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment if, prior to the Administrative Agent’s approval of such assignment, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment cease to apply.

Section 2.28 Cash Collateral.

(a) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the LC Issuer (i) if the LC Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an LC Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of 30 days prior to the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any portion of the LC Exposure for any reason remains outstanding (including, without limitation, as a result of the issuance of a Letter of Credit with, or an amendment of a Letter of Credit that results in, an expiration date after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date as provided in Section 2.24(a)(ii)(B)), the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then outstanding amount of the LC Exposure. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer or the Swing Line Lenders, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.27(c)(i)).

(b) All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at the Administrative Agent. The Borrower hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer and the Lenders (including the Swing Line Lenders), and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all Cash Collateral provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as

49

security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.28(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.28 or otherwise under this Agreement in respect of Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific LC Exposure, Swing Line Loans, obligations to fund participations therein and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such Cash Collateral as may be provided for in this Section 2.28.

(d) Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender) or (ii) upon the Borrower’s request if there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default.

Article 3. Representations and Warranties.

The Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent that:

Section 3.1 Organization.

(a) Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its state of organization and has the power to own its assets and to transact the business in which it is presently engaged.

(b) Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries is in good standing in its state of organization and in each state in which the character of the properties owned or the business transacted requires qualification, except to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.2 Power, Authority, Consents.

The Borrower has the power to execute, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to be executed by it. The Borrower has the power to request extensions of credit hereunder and has taken all necessary action, corporate or otherwise, to authorize the extensions of credit hereunder on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Borrower has taken all necessary action, corporate or otherwise, to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to be executed by it. No consent or approval of any Person (including, without limitation, any stockholder of the Borrower), no consent or approval of any landlord or

Section 3.3 No Violation of Law or Agreements.

The execution and delivery by the Borrower of each Loan Document to which it is a party, the performance by it thereunder and the extensions of credit hereunder, will not violate any provision of law and will not conflict with or result in a breach of any order, writ, injunction, ordinance, resolution, decree, or other similar document or instrument of any court or governmental authority, bureau or agency, domestic or foreign, or any certificate of incorporation or by-laws or other organizational document of the Borrower, or create (with or without the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both) a default under or breach of any agreement, bond, note or indenture to which the Borrower is a party, or by which the Borrower is bound or any of its properties or assets is affected, except for such defaults and breaches which in the aggregate could not have a Material Adverse Effect, or result in the imposition of any Lien of any nature whatsoever upon any of the properties or assets owned by or used in connection with the business of the Borrower.

Section 3.4 Due Execution, Validity, Enforceability.

This Agreement and each other Loan Document to which the Borrower is a party has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and each constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other similar laws, now or hereafter in effect, relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and except that the remedy of specific performance and other equitable remedies are subject to judicial discretion.

Section 3.5 Title to Properties.

Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries has good and marketable title in fee simple to, or valid leasehold interests in, all real property necessary or used in the ordinary course of its business, except for such defects in title as could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

51

there any reasonable basis for the institution of any such action or proceeding that is probable of assertion, nor are there any pending actions or proceedings in which the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries is a plaintiff or complainant, involving, in the case of any court proceeding, a claim in excess of $2,000,000.

Except as set forth on Schedule 3.7 hereto, none of the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries is in default under any agreement, ordinance, resolution, decree, bond, note, indenture, order or judgment to which it is a party or by which it is bound, or any other agreement or other instrument by which any of the properties or assets owned by it or used in the conduct of its business is affected, which default could have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.6 Non-Reliance on Agent and other Lenders.

Each Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Borrower and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative

The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrower of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the properties or books of the Borrower.

Section 9.7 Failure to Act.

Except for action expressly required of the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or thereunder unless it shall be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense (other than any liability or expense that results from its gross negligence or willful misconduct) that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, after consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 9 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent.

(ii) in the event that any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of any Bid Loan or Interest Rate Contract to which such Lender is a party, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, and whether through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, set-off or counterclaim against the Borrower or otherwise, such Lender shall (subject to Section 2.16(a) with respect to Bid Loans made as part of the same Bid Loan Borrowing of other Lenders) be permitted to retain the full amount of such payment and shall not be required to share such payment with any other Lender.

For the purposes of this Section 9.9(b), payments on Revolving Credit Loans received by each Lender shall be in the same proportion as the proportion of: (A) the sum of: (x) the Revolving Exposure of such Lender, plus (y) the Obligations owing to such Lender in respect of Interest Rate Contracts to which such Lender is party, if any, to (B) the sum of: (x) the Total Revolving Exposure, plus (y) the Obligations owing to all of the Lenders in respect of all Interest Rate Contracts to which any Lender is a party; provided, however, that, with respect to Sections 9.9(a)(i) and (b), if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from the Lender that received the proportionate overpayment, such purchase of Revolving Credit Loans or payment of benefits, as the case may be, shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(ii) Upon or following any acceleration by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of the Obligations in the event that any Lender shall obtain payment in

74

respect of any Bid Loan, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, and whether through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, set-off or counterclaim against the Borrower or otherwise, such Lender shall (subject to Section 2.16(a) with respect to Bid Loans made as part of the same Bid Loan Borrowing of other Lenders) be permitted to retain the full amount of such payment and shall not be required to share such payment with any other Lender.

Section 10.7 Remedies Cumulative; Counterclaims.

Each and every right granted to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder or under any other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, or allowed them by law or equity, shall be cumulative and may be exercised from time to time. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or the holder of any Note to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The due payment and performance of the Obligations shall be without regard to any counterclaim, right of offset or any other claim whatsoever that the Borrower may have against any Lender or the Administrative Agent and without regard to any other obligation of any nature whatsoever that any Lender or the Administrative Agent may have to the Borrower, and no such counterclaim or offset shall be asserted by the Borrower (unless such counter-claim or offset would, under applicable law, be permanently and irrevocably lost if not brought in such action) in any action, suit or proceeding instituted by any Lender or the Administrative Agent for payment or performance of the Obligations.

Section 10.8 Further Assurances.

At any time and from time to time, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute, deliver and acknowledge or cause to be executed, delivered and acknowledged, such further documents and instruments and do such other acts and things as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to fully effect the purposes of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other agreements, instruments and documents delivered pursuant hereto or in connection with the Loans.

Section 10.10 Counterparts.

This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

Section 10.11 Severability.

The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if any clause or provision hereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or any other clause or provision in this Agreement in any jurisdiction. Each of the covenants, agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement is independent and compliance by the Borrower with any of them shall not excuse non-compliance by the Borrower with any other. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

Section 10.12 Binding Effect; No Assignment or Delegation by Borrower.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and its successors and to the benefit of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns. The rights and obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement shall not be assigned or delegated without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and any purported assignment or delegation without such consent shall be void.

Section 10.13 Assignments and Participations by Lenders.

(a) Each Lender may assign to one or more banks or other entities all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment and the Revolving Credit Loans (including participations in LC Exposures and in Swing Line Loans) owing to it, and the Revolving Credit Note(s), if any, held by it); provided, however, that: (i) (A) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent must give prior written consent to such assignment (unless such assignment is to an Affiliate of such Lender or to another Lender), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, (B) the LC Issuer must give prior written consent to any assignment of a Revolving Credit Commitment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (C) the Swing Line Lenders must give prior written consent to any assignment in respect of Revolving Credit Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, and a processing fee of $3,500.00, (iii) each partial assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all of the assigning Lenders’ rights and obligations under this Agreement, except that this clause (iii) shall not apply to rights in respect of Bid Loans or any Swing Line Lender’s rights and

81

obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans, (iv) the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $5,000,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $1,000,000, and (v) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee and no such assignment shall be to a Defaulting Lender or to any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute a Defaulting Lender. Upon such execution, delivery and acceptance, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, which effective date shall be at least five Business Days after the execution thereof: (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder, and (y) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto), except that an assigning Lender shall retain the benefit of Sections 2.18, 10.1 and 10.2 for the period prior to the effective date of such Assignment and Assumption. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clause (a)(i) above, (1) no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (2) the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof from the Administrative Agent.

(b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Assumption, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of such financial statements and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Assumption; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

82

(c) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, together with each Note, if any, subject to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall: (i) accept such Assignment and Assumption, and (ii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower. Within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall, if requested by such Eligible Assignee, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for each surrendered Note a new Note to the order of such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment (or Swing Line Commitment or Bid Loan, as applicable) assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption and, if the assigning Lender has retained a Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder, a new Revolving Credit Note to the order of the assigning Lender (if requested) in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such new Note shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Assumption and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto.

(d)    (i) Each Lender may, without the prior consent of the Administrative Agent, the other Lenders or the Borrower, sell participations to one or more Persons (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or a Person who, if it were to become a Lender hereunder, would constitute a Defaulting Lender, or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment, the Loans owing to it, and the Note held by it); provided, however, that: (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

(ii) Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification that would change the amount, interest rate or maturity of the Revolving Credit Loans or any other matter that requires unanimous consent of all of the Lenders. Subject to subsection (iii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.18 and 2.22 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section.

(iii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.18 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Non-U.S. Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.18 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 10.14 as though it were a Lender.

83

(e) Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 10.13, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to any Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Borrower received by it from such Lender.

(f) Anything in this Section 10.13 to the contrary notwithstanding, any Lender may at any time pledge and assign, or grant a security interest in, all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note(s), if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment, or grant of a security interest, to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment, or grant of a security interest, shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time a Lender acting as LC Issuer or a Swing Line Lender assigns all of its Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to subsection (a) above, such Lender may, as applicable, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as LC Issuer and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower, resign as a Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as LC Issuer or a Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of such Lender as LC Issuer or a Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If a Lender resigns as LC Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of LC Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as LC Issuer and all LC Exposure with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.24(c)). If a Lender resigns as a Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of a Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.23(d). Upon the acceptance by a successor LC Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, of its appointment as a successor LC Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, (1) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (2) the successor LC Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the resigning LC Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the resigning LC Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit, whereupon such substitute letters of credit or other arrangements shall be deemed to be, and the Letters of Credit issued by the retiring L/C Issuer shall cease to be, Letters of Credit hereunder.

84

Section 10.14 Delivery of Tax Forms.

(a) Each Lender that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, prior to the receipt of any payment subject to withholding under the Code (or upon accepting an assignment of an interest herein), two duly signed completed copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto (relating to such Non-U.S. Lender and entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax on all payments to be made to such Non-U.S. Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such Non-U.S. Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or such other evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that such Non-U.S. Lender is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax, including any exemption pursuant to Section 881(c) of the Code. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Non-U.S. Lender shall (i) upon the written request of the Administrative Agent promptly submit to the Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one of such forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available under the then current United States laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent of any available exemption from or reduction of, United States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Non-U.S. Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstance which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction. Each Non-U.S. Lender, to the extent it does not act or ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Lender under any of the Loan Documents (for example, in the case of a participation by such Lender), shall deliver to the Administrative Agent on the date when such Non-U.S. Lender ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any such sums paid or payable, and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of the Administrative Agent (in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (A) two duly signed completed copies of the forms or statements required to be provided by such Lender as set forth above, to establish the portion of any such sums paid or payable with respect to which such Lender acts for its own account that is not subject to United States withholding tax, and (B) two duly signed completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto), together with any information such Lender chooses to transmit with such form, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Code, to establish that such Lender is not acting for its own account with respect to a portion of any sums payable to such Lender. The Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Non-U.S. Lender under this Section 10.14(a)(i) with respect to any Taxes required to be deducted or withheld on the basis of the information, certificates or statements of exemption such Lender transmits with an IRS Form W-8IMY pursuant to this Section 10.14(a) or (ii) if such Lender shall have failed to satisfy the provisions of this Section 10.14(a) on the date such Lender became a Lender or ceases to act for its own account with respect to any payment under any of the Loan Documents. Nothing in this Section 10.14(a) shall relieve the Borrower of its obligation to pay any amounts otherwise due pursuant to this Section 10.14 in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender or other Person for the account of which such Lender receives any sums

85

payable under any of the Loan Documents is not subject to withholding or is subject to withholding at a reduced rate. The Administrative Agent may, without reduction, withhold any Taxes required to be deducted and withheld from any payment under any of the Loan Documents with respect to which the Borrower is not required to pay additional amounts under this Section 10.14(a).

(b) If a payment made to any Lender hereunder would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

THE BORROWER SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ASSERT ANY DEFENSE

86

GIVEN OR ALLOWED UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK UNLESS SUCH DEFENSE IS ALSO GIVEN OR ALLOWED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 10.15 SHALL AFFECT OR IMPAIR IN ANY MANNER OR TO ANY EXTENT THE RIGHT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST THE BORROWER IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION OR THE RIGHT, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER, TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.

For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from Borrower relating to Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from Borrower after the Effective Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 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.

(c) the Revolving Credit Notes, to the extent necessary, amend and restate the Original Revolving Credit Notes; and

(d) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, whether executed and delivered in connection herewith or otherwise, including, without limitation, the Revolving Credit Notes, (i) are not a novation, or given as payment or satisfaction, of the Existing Loan Agreement or any Original Revolving Credit Note and (ii) do not constitute a reborrowing or termination of the “Obligations” (as defined in the Existing Loan Agreement) under the Existing Loan Agreement as in effect prior to the Effective Date and such “Obligations” are in all respects continuing (as amended and restated hereby) with only the terms thereof being modified as provided in this Agreement.

89

FORM OF REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE

Dated:                     , 2011

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of                                          (the “Lender”) on the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans made by the Lender to the Borrower outstanding on the close of business on the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date; and to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan from time to time outstanding on the dates, at the rates per annum, and for the periods, set forth in or established by the Loan Agreement referred to below and calculated as provided therein.

The Borrower shall pay interest on any Revolving Credit Loan or any installment thereof, which is not paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) for the period commencing on the due date thereof until the same is paid in full at the applicable Post-Default Rate, and all of such interest shall be payable on demand.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligation of the Borrower to make payments of interest shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required to be made to the Lender to the extent that the Lender’s receipt thereof would not be permissible under the law or laws applicable to the Lender limiting rates of interest which may be charged or collected by the Lender. Any such payments of interest which are not made as a result of the limitation referred to in the preceding sentence shall be made by the Borrower to the Lender on the earliest interest payment date or dates on which the receipt thereof would be permissible under the laws applicable to the Lender limiting rates of interest which may be charged or collected by the Lender.

Payments of both principal and interest on this Note are to be made to the office of KeyBank National Association, as Administrative Agent, at 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxx 00000-0000 or such other place as the holder hereof shall designate to the Borrower in writing, in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds.

This Note is one of the Notes referred to in, and is entitled to the benefits of, the Fifth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated as of July 27, 2011 by and among the Borrower, the Lenders from time to time party thereto (including the Lender) and KeyBank National Association, as Administrative Agent (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”). [This Note supersedes and is given in replacement of the Note dated August 6, 2007 made by the Borrower to the order of the Lender in the original principal amount of $             but does not constitute a novation, extinguishment or termination of the obligations evidenced thereby.] Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Loan Agreement.

The Lender is hereby authorized by the Borrower to record on the schedule to this Note (or on a supplemental schedule thereto) the amount of each Revolving Credit Loan made by the
