WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Lenders establish in its favor a term loan facility pursuant to which term loans in the aggregate principal amount of U.S. $1,925,000,000 would be made to the Borrower on the closing date of such facility and, subject to certain conditions and requirements, additional term loans in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed U.S. $75,000,000 may be requested to be made to the Borrower on a date on or before the first anniversary of such closing date;

WHEREAS, the Lenders are willing to make such term loan facility available to the Borrower on the terms and subject to the conditions and requirements hereinafter set forth;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1. DEFINITIONS; INTERPRETATION.

Section 1.1. Definitions. Unless otherwise defined herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings, which meanings shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms:

“Additional Lender” has the meaning ascribed to such term in Section 2.13(b).

“Aggregate Commitment Amount” means an amount equal to $1,925,000,000, plus the amount of any commitments for additional Term Loans as may be agreed by any then-existing Lenders or Additional Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13 of this Agreement.

“Agreement” means this Term Credit Agreement, as the same may be amended, restated and supplemented from time to time.

“Angolan Debt” means the financing incurred for construction and mobilization of a drillship for expected operations offshore Angola, as more particularly described on Schedule 5.15.

BBB/Baa2		0.600	%

BBB-/Baa3		0.725	%

BB+/Ba1 or below		0.850	%

The Applicable Margin will be determined based upon the ratings issued by S&P and Moody’s. If such ratings differ (i) by one level, the higher of such ratings will apply to determine the Applicable Margin, (ii) by two levels, the rating which falls between such ratings will apply to determine the Applicable Margin, or (iii) by more than two levels, the rating which is one level

above the lower of such ratings will apply to determine the Applicable Margin. If only one such rating is issued by S&P and Moody’s, the Applicable Margin will be determined by such rating. The Borrower shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent of any changes to such ratings, within three (3) Business Days thereof, and any change to the Applicable Margin shall be effective on the date of the relevant change. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Borrower shall at any time fail to have in effect any such rating on the Borrower’s non-credit enhanced senior unsecured long-term debt, the Borrower shall seek and obtain (if not already in effect), within thirty (30) days after such rating first ceases to be in effect, a corporate credit rating or a bank loan rating from Moody’s and/or S&P (or if neither of Moody’s and S&P issue such types of ratings or ratings comparable thereto, from another nationally recognized rating agency approved by each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent), and the Applicable Margin shall thereafter be based on such ratings in the same manner as provided herein with respect to the Borrower’s senior unsecured long-term debt rating (with the Applicable Margin in effect prior to the issuance of such corporate credit rating or bank loan rating being the same as the Applicable Margin in effect at the time the senior unsecured long-term debt rating ceases to be in effect).

The Borrower may select multiple Interest Periods for Borrowings comprised of Eurodollar Loans, provided that at no time shall the number of different Interest Periods for outstanding Borrowings comprised of Eurodollar Loans exceed ten (10) (it being understood for such purposes that (x) Interest Periods of the same duration, but commencing on different dates, shall be counted as different Interest Periods, and (y) all Interest Periods commencing on the same date and of the same duration shall be counted as one Interest Period regardless of the number of Borrowings or Term Loans involved).

notice to the Borrower and each Lender by like means of the interest rate applicable to each Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans (but, if such notice is given by telephone, the Administrative Agent shall confirm such rate in writing) promptly after the Administrative Agent has made such determination.

(e) Conversion. If the Borrower shall elect to convert any particular Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.4 from one Type of Term Loan to the other Type only in part, then, from and after the date on which such conversion shall be effective, such particular Borrowing shall, for all purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation, for purposes of subsequent application of this sentence) be deemed to instead constitute two Borrowings (each originally commencing on the same date as such particular Borrowing), one comprised of (subject to subsequent conversion in accordance with this Agreement) Eurodollar Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the portion of such Borrowing so elected by the Borrower to be comprised of Eurodollar Loans and the second comprised of (subject to subsequent conversion in accordance with this Agreement) Base Rate Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the portion of such particular Borrowing so elected by the Borrower to be comprised of Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower shall elect to have multiple Interest Periods apply to any such particular Borrowing comprised of Eurodollar Loans, then, from and after the date such multiple Interest Periods commence, such particular Borrowing shall, for all purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation, for purposes of subsequent application of this sentence), be deemed to constitute a number of separate Borrowings (each originally commencing on the same date as such particular Borrowing) equal to the number of, and corresponding to, the different Interest Periods so selected, each such deemed separate Borrowing corresponding to a particular selected Interest Period comprised of (subject to subsequent conversion in accordance with this Agreement) Eurodollar Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the portion of such particular Borrowing so elected by the Borrower to have such Interest Period. This Section 2.4(e) shall be applied appropriately in the event that the Borrower shall make the elections described in the two preceding sentences at the same time with respect to the same particular Borrowing.

Loans from among the available options, subject to the limitations in Section 2.4; provided, however, that:

(i) the Borrower may not select an Interest Period that extends beyond the Scheduled Maturity Date;

(ii) whenever the last day of any Interest Period would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, the last day of such Interest Period shall either be (i) extended to the next succeeding Business Day, or (ii) in the case of Eurodollar Loans only, reduced to the immediately preceding Business Day if the next succeeding Business Day is in the next calendar month; and

(iii) for purposes of determining an Interest Period, a month means a period starting on one day in a calendar month and ending on the numerically corresponding day in the next calendar month; provided, however, that if there is no such numerically corresponding day in the month in which an Interest Period is to end or if an Interest Period begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month, then in the case of Eurodollar Loans only, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of the calendar month in which such Interest Period is to end.

Not later than 12:00 P.M. with respect to Borrowings comprised of Eurodollar Loans, and 3:00 P.M. with respect to Borrowings comprised of Base Rate Loans, on the date of any requested advance of a new Borrowing of Term Loans, each Lender, subject to all other provisions hereof, shall make available for the account of its applicable Lending Office its portion of such Borrowing in funds immediately available for the benefit of the Administrative Agent in the applicable Administrative Agent’s Account and according to the payment instructions of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of each such Borrowing available in immediately available funds to the Borrower (or as directed in writing by the Borrower) on such date. Acceptance by the Borrower of any late amount shall not be deemed a waiver by the Borrower of any rights it may have against any Lender making funds available after the time prescribed above. No Lender shall be responsible to the Borrower for any failure by another Lender to fund its portion of a Borrowing, and no such failure by a Lender shall relieve any other Lender from its obligation, if any, to fund its portion of a Borrowing.

(b) Administrative Agent Reliance on Lender Funding. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender prior to the time at which such Lender is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of the funds comprising its portion of a Borrowing (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that such Lender does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such payment when due and in reliance upon such assumption may (but shall not be required to) make available to the Borrower the portion of the Borrowing to be made by such Lender and, if any Lender has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall, on demand, pay to the Administrative Agent the amount made available to the Borrower attributable to such Lender

together with interest thereon for each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was made available to the Borrower and ending on (but excluding) the date such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to the Administrative Agent’s cost of funds for such amount. If such amount is not received from such Lender by the Administrative Agent immediately upon demand, the Borrower will, on demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of the Borrowing attributable to such Lender with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the relevant Borrowing, but the Borrower will in no event be liable to pay any amounts otherwise due pursuant to Section 2.12 in respect of such repayment. Nothing in this subsection shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from any obligation to fund any Term Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

Section 2.7. Applicable Interest Rates.

(a) Base Rate Loans. Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a 365-day year or 366-day year, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed excluding the date of repayment) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Base Rate Loan is made until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or until conversion to a Eurodollar Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the Highest Lawful Rate, or (ii) the Base Rate, in each case from time to time in effect. The Borrower agrees to pay such interest on each Interest Payment Date for such Base Rate Loan and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

(b) Eurodollar Loans. Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed, excluding the date of repayment) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Eurodollar Loan is made until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or until conversion to a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the Highest Lawful Rate, or (ii) the sum of Adjusted LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin, in each case from time to time in effect. The Borrower agrees to pay such interest on each Interest Payment Date for such Eurodollar Loan and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or conversion to a Base Rate Loan.

(c) Rate Determinations. The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Term Loans hereunder insofar as such interest rate involves a determination of Base Rate, Adjusted LIBOR or LIBOR Rate, or any applicable default rate pursuant to Section 2.8, and such determination shall be conclusive and binding except in the case of the Administrative Agent’s manifest error or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Borrower and each Lender of each determination of Adjusted LIBOR with respect to each Eurodollar Loan.

Section 2.8. Default Rate. If any payment of principal on any Term Loan is not made when due after the expiration of the grace period therefor provided in Section 7.1(a) (whether by acceleration or otherwise), such Term Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a year of 360, 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and actual days elapsed) after any such grace period expires until such principal then due is paid in full, which the Borrower agrees to pay on demand, at a rate per annum equal to:

(a) for any Base Rate Loan, the lesser of (i) the Highest Lawful Rate, or (ii) the sum of two percent (2%) per annum plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect (but not less than the Base Rate in effect at the time such payment was due); and

(b) for any Eurodollar Loan, the lesser of (i) the Highest Lawful Rate, or (ii) the sum of two percent (2%) per annum plus the rate of interest in effect thereon at the time of such default until the end of the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loan and, thereafter, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of two percent (2%) per annum plus the Base Rate, in each case from time to time in effect (but not less than the Base Rate in effect at the time such payment was due).

It is the intention of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to conform strictly to usury laws applicable to them. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby or any Term Loan or other Obligation would be usurious as to any of the Lenders under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States of America and the State of New York or any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to such Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Credit Document), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Notes or any other Credit Document, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under laws applicable to such Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by such Lender under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Credit Document or otherwise shall under no circumstances exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, and any excess shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Term Loans (or, if the principal amount of the Term Loans shall have been paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the Borrower); and (ii) in the event that the maturity of the Term Loans is accelerated by reason of an election of the holder or holders thereof resulting from any Event of Default hereunder or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under laws applicable to such Lender may never include more than the Highest Lawful Rate, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement, the Notes, any other Credit Document or otherwise shall be automatically canceled by such Lender as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Term Loans (or if the principal amount of the Term Loans shall have been paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the Borrower). To the extent that the Texas Finance Code, Chapters 302 and 303, are relevant to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the purpose of determining the Highest Lawful Rate, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby elect to determine the applicable rate ceiling under such Chapter by the indicated (weekly) rate ceiling from time to time in effect, subject to their right subsequently to change such method in accordance with applicable law. In the event the Term Loans are paid in full by the Borrower prior to the full stated term of the Term Loans and the interest received from the actual period of the existence of the Term Loans exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the Lenders shall refund to the Borrower the amount of the excess or shall credit the amount of the excess against amounts owing under the Term Loans and none of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall be subject to any of the penalties provided by law for contracting for, taking, reserving, charging or receiving interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate.

Section 2.9. Repayment of Term Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) Repayment of Term Loans. The Borrower hereby promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, on the Maturity Date, the unpaid amount of each Term Loan then outstanding.

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

(c) Record of Term Loans by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Term Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or accrued interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) Evidence of Obligations. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Term Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Notes. The Term Loans outstanding to the Borrower from each Lender shall, at the written request of such Lender, be evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower payable to such Lender in the form of Exhibit 2.9 (each a “Note”). The Borrower agrees to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Lender requesting a Note as aforesaid, an original of each such Note, appropriately completed, to evidence the respective Term Loans made by such Lender hereunder, within ten (10) Business Days after the Borrower receives a written request therefor.

(f) Recording of Term Loans and Payments on Notes. Each holder of a Note shall record on its books and records or on a schedule to its Note (and prior to any transfer of its Notes shall endorse thereon or on schedules forming a part thereof appropriate notations to evidence) the amount of each Term Loan outstanding from it to the Borrower, all payments of principal and interest and the principal balance from time to time outstanding thereon, the type of such Term Loan and, if a Eurodollar Loan the Interest Period and interest rate applicable thereto. Such record, whether shown on the books and records of a holder of a Note or on a schedule to its Note, shall be prima facie evidence as to all such matters; provided, however, that the failure of any holder to record any of the foregoing or any error in any such record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay all Term Loans outstanding to it hereunder together with accrued interest thereon. At the request of any holder of a Note and upon such holder tendering to the Borrower the Note to be replaced, the Borrower shall furnish a new Note to such holder to replace any outstanding Note and at such time the first notation

appearing on the schedule on the reverse side of, or attached to, such new Note shall set forth the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Term Loans, if any, then outstanding thereon.

Section 2.10. Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the privilege of prepaying any Base Rate Loans without premium or penalty at any time in whole or at any time and from time to time in part (but, if in part, then in an amount which is equal to or greater than $5,000,000 and in an integral multiple of $1,000,000); provided, however, that the Borrower shall have given notice of such prepayment to the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 P.M. on the date of such prepayment. The Borrower shall have the privilege of prepaying any Eurodollar Loans (a) without premium or penalty in whole or in part (but, if in part, then in an amount which is equal to or greater than $5,000,000 and in an integral multiple of $1,000,000) only on the last Business Day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loan, and (b) at any other time without premium or penalty except for the breakage fees and funding losses that are required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.12; provided, however, that the Borrower shall have given notice of such prepayment to the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 P.M. at least three (3) Business Days before the last Business Day of such Interest Period or the proposed prepayment date. Any such prepayments shall be made by the payment of the principal amount to be prepaid and accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of such prepayment. Unless otherwise specified in writing by the Borrower, optional prepayments shall be applied first, to the principal of the Term Loans and any interest accrued and unpaid on such principal amounts so prepaid, and second, to any other Obligations then outstanding.

Section 2.11. Mandatory Prepayments of Term Loans. In the event and on each occasion that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Term Loans exceeds the Aggregate Commitment Amount then in effect, then the Borrower shall promptly prepay Term Loans in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. Immediately upon determining the need to make any such prepayment, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such required prepayment and of the identity of the particular Term Loans being prepaid. If the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that the Administrative Agent has determined that any prepayment is required under this Section 2.11, the Borrower shall make such prepayment no later than the second Business Day following such notice. Any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans pursuant hereto shall not be limited by the notice provision for prepayments set forth in Section 2.10. Each such prepayment shall be accompanied by a payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on the Term Loans prepaid and any applicable breakage fees and funding losses pursuant to Section 2.12.

Section 2.12. Breakage Fees. If any Lender incurs any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits and other indirect or consequential damages) by reason of the liquidation or re-employment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain any Eurodollar Loan as a result of any of the following events other than any such occurrence as a result of a change of circumstance described in Sections 8.1 or 8.2:

(a) any payment, prepayment or conversion of any such Eurodollar Loan on a date other than the last day of its Interest Period (whether by acceleration, mandatory prepayment or otherwise);

(b) any failure to make a principal payment of any such Eurodollar Loan on the due date therefor; or

(c) any failure by the Borrower to borrow, continue or prepay, or convert to, any such Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in a notice given pursuant to Section 2.10 (other than by reason of a default of such Lender),

then the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amount as will reimburse such Lender for such loss, cost or expense. If any Lender makes such a claim for compensation, it shall provide to the Borrower a certificate executed by an officer of such Lender setting forth the amount of such loss, cost or expense in reasonable detail (including an explanation of the basis for and the computation of such loss, cost or expense) no later than ninety (90) days after the event giving rise to the claim for compensation, and the amounts shown on such certificate shall be prima facie evidence of such Lender’s entitlement thereto. Within ten (10) days of receipt of such certificate, the Borrower shall pay directly to such Lender such amount as will compensate such Lender for such loss, cost or expense as provided herein, unless such Lender has failed to timely give notice to the Borrower of such claim for compensation as provided herein, in which event the Borrower shall not have any obligation to pay such claim.

Section 2.13. Term Facility Increase; Additional Lenders.

(a) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may, from time to time, but in any case at least forty-five (45) days prior to the Facility Increase Expiration Date, notify the Administrative Agent in writing of the Borrower’s request to increase the Aggregate Commitment Amount pursuant to this Section 2.13 for a total principal amount of additional Term Loans not to exceed $75,000,000 (the amount of any such increase, the “Additional Commitment Amount”), and the requested Facility Increase Funding Date (which shall be a Business Day prior to the Facility Increase Expiration Date) for the additional Term Loans in such Additional Commitment Amount. Any agreement by a Lender to increase its Commitment pursuant to such request shall be made in its sole discretion. No increase in the Aggregate Commitment Amount or additional Term Loans may be effected or requested pursuant to this Section 2.13 on any occasion for an amount less than $25,000,000.

(b) The Borrower may designate one or more banks or other financial institutions (which may be, but need not be, one or more of the existing Lenders) which at the time agree to, in the case of any such Person that is an existing Lender, increase its Commitment, and in the case of any other such Person (an “Additional Lender”), become a party to this Agreement; provided, however, that any bank or financial institution that is not an existing Lender must be approved by the Administrative Agent (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The sum of the increases in the Commitments of the existing Lenders pursuant to this subsection (b) plus the Commitments of the Additional Lenders shall not in the aggregate exceed the Additional Commitment Amount.

(c) An increase in the Aggregate Commitment Amount pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall become effective on the Facility Increase Funding Date for the related Borrowing upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Joinder Agreement signed by the Borrower, by each

Additional Lender, and by each other Lender whose Commitment is to be increased, together with such evidence of appropriate corporate authorization on the part of the Borrower with respect to the increase in the Commitments and the Borrowing of the additional Term Loans, and such opinions of counsel for the Borrower with respect to the increase in the Commitments and the Borrowing of the additional Term Loans, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

(d) Upon the effectiveness of an increase in the Aggregate Commitment Amount pursuant to subsection (c) above, and the funding of the additional Term Loans, the respective Commitment amounts and Percentages of the Lenders set forth on the signature pages hereto shall automatically be deemed to be adjusted to take into account the Additional Commitment Amount and related funding of additional Term Loans.

(e) In order to obtain funding of the additional Term Loans on any Facility Increase Funding Date, the Borrower shall have given to the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Request for such Term Loans in the form required by Section 2.3 (and including any re-borrowings of existing Term Loans as provided in the last sentence of this subsection (e)), and shall have complied with the requirements and conditions set forth in Section 4.2. Each existing Lender that is increasing its Commitment and each Additional Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the additional Term Loans to be funded on such Facility Increase Funding Date in accordance with Section 2.6. On any Facility Increase Funding Date of any additional Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.13 that are not pro rata among all existing Lenders, the Borrower shall be deemed to have repaid in their entirety on such Facility Increase Funding Date all existing outstanding Term Loans (and shall pay to the existing Lenders any breakage fees and funding losses that would be required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.12 in connection with such prepayment), and all such existing Term Loans shall be deemed to be re-borrowed, and all such additional Term Loans shall be deemed to be funded, pro rata in accordance with the applicable Percentages of the respective Lenders (including the Additional Lenders) after giving effect to the increase in the Aggregate Commitment Amount and funding of the additional Term Loans, and all such Term Loans shall be outstanding as Borrowings subject to Interest Periods commencing on such Facility Increase Funding Date as specified by the Borrower in its Borrowing Request pursuant to this Section 2.13.

ARTICLE 3. FEES AND PAYMENTS.

Section 3.1. Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent the administrative agency fees from time to time agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

Section 3.2. Place and Application of Payments.

(a) All payments of principal of and interest on the Term Loans and all fees and other amounts payable by the Borrower under the Credit Documents shall be made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent without defense, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, for the benefit of the Lenders entitled to such payments, in immediately available funds on the due date thereof no later than 2:00 P.M. in the Administrative Agent’s Account or

such other location as the Administrative Agent may designate in writing to the Borrower. Any payments received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower after the time specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. The Administrative Agent will, on the same day each payment is received or deemed to have been received in accordance with this Section 3.2, cause to be distributed like funds to each Lender owed an Obligation for which such payment was received, pro rata based on the respective amounts of such type of Obligation then owing to each Lender.

(b) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent under any Credit Document is insufficient to pay in full all amounts then due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Credit Documents, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order set forth in Section 7.6. In calculating the amount of Obligations owing each Lender other than for principal and interest on Term Loans, the Administrative Agent shall only be required to include such other Obligations that Lenders have certified to the Administrative Agent in writing are due to such Lenders.

Section 3.3. Withholding Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Withholding. Except as otherwise required by law and subject to Section 3.3(b), each payment by the Borrower to any Lender or Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be made without withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes imposed by or within the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is incorporated, any jurisdiction from which the Borrower makes any payment, or (in each case) any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, excluding, in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, the following taxes:

(i) taxes imposed on, based upon, or measured by such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s net income or profits, and branch profits, franchise and similar taxes imposed on it;

(ii) taxes imposed on such Lender or the Administrative Agent as a result of a present or former connection between the taxing jurisdiction and such Lender or Administrative Agent, or any affiliate thereof, as the case may be, other than a connection resulting solely from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(iii) taxes imposed as a result of the transfer by such Lender or the Administrative Agent of its interest in this Agreement or any other Credit Document or a designation by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (other than pursuant to Section 8.3(c)) of a new Lending Office (other than taxes imposed as a result of any change in treaty, law or regulation after such transfer of such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s interest in this Agreement or any other Credit Document or designation of a new Lending Office);

(iv) taxes imposed by the United States of America (or any political subdivision thereof or tax authority therein) upon a Lender or the Administrative Agent

organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States, except to the extent that such tax is imposed as a result of any change in applicable law, regulation or treaty (other than any addition of or change in any “anti-treaty shopping,” “limitation of benefits,” or similar provision applicable to a treaty) after the date hereof, in the case of each Lender or the Administrative Agent originally a party hereto or, in the case of any Purchasing Lender (as defined in Section 10.10) or the Administrative Agent, after the date on which it becomes a Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be; or

(v) taxes which would not have been imposed but for (a) the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to provide (I) the applicable forms prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, as required pursuant to Section 3.3(b), or (II) any other form, certification, documentation or proof which is reasonably requested by the Borrower, or (b) a determination by a taxing authority or a court of competent jurisdiction that a form, certification, documentation or other proof provided by such Lender or the Administrative Agent to establish an exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge is false;

(all such present or future taxes, excluding only the taxes described in the preceding clauses (i) through (v), being hereinafter referred to as “Indemnified Taxes”). If any such withholding is so required, the Borrower shall make the withholding, pay the amount withheld to the appropriate governmental authority before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues thereon and forthwith pay such additional amount as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Lender and the Administrative Agent is free and clear of such Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes on such additional amount) and is equal to the amount that such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) would have received had withholding of any Indemnified Tax not been made. If the Borrower pays any Indemnified Taxes, or any penalties or interest in connection therewith, it shall deliver official tax receipts evidencing the payment or certified copies thereof, or other evidence of payment if such tax receipts have not yet been received by the Borrower (with such tax receipts to be delivered within fifteen (15) days after being actually received), to the Lender or the Administrative Agent on whose account such withholding was made (with a copy to the Administrative Agent if not the recipient of the original) within fifteen (15) days of such payment. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender pays any Indemnified Taxes, or any penalties or interest in connection therewith, the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent or such Lender for the payment on demand in the currency in which such payment was made. Such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall make written demand on the Borrower for reimbursement hereunder no later than ninety (90) days after the earlier of (i) the date on which such Lender or the Administrative Agent makes payment of the Indemnified Taxes, penalties and interest, and (ii) the date on which the relevant taxing authority or other governmental authority makes written demand upon such Lender or the Administrative Agent for payment of the Indemnified Taxes, penalties and interest. Any such demand shall describe in reasonable detail such Indemnified Taxes, penalties or interest, including the amount thereof if then known to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be. In the event that such Lender or the Administrative Agent fails to give the Borrower timely notice as provided herein, the Borrower shall not have any obligation to pay such claim for reimbursement.

(b) U.S. Withholding Tax Exemptions. Upon the written request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall submit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, promptly after such request, two duly completed and signed copies of either Form W-8BEN or any successor form (entitling such Lender to a complete exemption from withholding under the Code on all amounts to be received by such Lender, including fees, pursuant to the Credit Documents) or Form W-8ECI or any successor form (relating to all amounts to be received by such Lender, including fees, pursuant to the Credit Documents) of the United States Internal Revenue Service, and any other form of the United States Internal Revenue Service reasonably necessary to accomplish exemption from withholding obligations or to facilitate the Administrative Agent’s performance under this Agreement. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Lender shall submit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of such forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may be required under then-current United States law or regulations to avoid United States withholding taxes on payments in respect of all amounts to be received by such Lender, including fees, pursuant to the Credit Documents. Upon the request of the Borrower, each Lender that is a United States person shall submit to the Borrower a certificate to the effect that it is such a United States person and is exempt from information reporting under Section 6049 of the Code and backup withholding under Section 3406 of the Code.

(c) Inability of Lender to Submit Forms. If any Lender determines in good faith, as a result of any change in applicable law, regulation or treaty, or in any official application or interpretation thereof, that (i) it is unable to submit to the Borrower or Administrative Agent any form or certificate that such Lender is obligated to submit pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 3.3, (ii) it is required to withdraw or cancel any such form or certificate previously submitted, or (iii) any such form or certificate otherwise becomes ineffective or inaccurate, such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and Administrative Agent of such fact, and the Lender shall to that extent not be obligated to provide any such form or certificate and will be entitled to withdraw or cancel any affected form or certificate, as applicable.

(d) Refund of Taxes. If any Lender or the Administrative Agent becomes aware that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Tax or any tax referred to in Section 10.3 with respect to which the Borrower has paid any amount pursuant to this Section 3.3 or Section 10.3, such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall pay the amount of such refund (including any interest received with respect thereto) to the Borrower within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof. A Lender or the Administrative Agent shall provide, at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower, such assistance as the Borrower may reasonably request in order to obtain such a refund; provided, however, that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall in any event be required to disclose any information to the Borrower with respect to the overall tax position of the Administrative Agent or such Lender.

of its organization; (ii) has all necessary organizational power and authority to own the property and assets it uses in its business and otherwise to carry on its present business; and (iii) is duly licensed or qualified and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business transacted by it or the nature of the property owned or leased by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so licensed or qualified or to be in good standing, as the case may be, would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.2. Power and Authority; Validity. The Borrower has the organizational power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of the Credit Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary company action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of such Credit Documents. The Borrower has duly executed and delivered each Credit Document and each such Credit Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject as to enforcement only to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and equitable principles.

Section 5.3. No Violation. Neither the execution, delivery or performance by the Borrower of the Credit Documents to which it is a party nor compliance by it with the terms and provisions thereof, nor the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated herein or therein, will (i) contravene in any material respect any applicable provision of any law, statute, rule or regulation, or any applicable order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, (ii) conflict with or result in any breach of any term, covenant, condition or other provision of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien other than any Permitted Lien upon any of the property or assets of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under, the terms of any material contractual obligation to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which they or any of their properties or assets are bound or to which they may be subject, or (iii) violate or conflict with any provision of the memorandum of association and articles of association, charter, articles or certificate of incorporation, partnership or limited liability company agreement, by-laws, or other applicable governance documents of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

Section 5.4. Litigation. Except as may be described on Schedule 5.4, there are no actions, suits, proceedings or counterclaims (including, without limitation, derivative or injunctive actions) pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that are reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.5. Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations.

(a) Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Term Loans shall be used solely for repayment and debt service on the Bridge Facility and payment of fees, costs and expenses incurred or payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, provided that, after repayment in full of the Bridge Facility and termination or expiration of the Bridge Credit Agreement, such proceeds may be used for general corporate purposes.

(b) Margin Stock. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock. No proceeds of the Term Loans will be used for a purpose which violates Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. After application of the proceeds of the Term Loans and any acquisitions permitted hereunder, less than 25% of the assets of each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries consists of “margin stock” (as defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System).

All factual information (taken as a whole) furnished by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in writing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with any Credit Document or the Confidential Information Memorandum or any transaction contemplated therein did not, as of the date such information was furnished (or, if such information expressly related to a specific date, as of such specific date), contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein (taken as a whole), in light of the circumstances under which such information was furnished, not misleading, except for such statements, if any, as have been updated, corrected, supplemented, superseded or modified pursuant to a written correction or supplement furnished to the Lenders prior to the date of this Agreement.

Section 5.8. Financial Statements. The financial statements heretofore delivered to the Lenders for the Borrower’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent, except as otherwise noted therein, with the Borrower’s financial statements for the previous fiscal year. Such annual financial statements fairly present in all material respects on a consolidated basis the financial position of the Borrower as of the date thereof, and the results of operations for the fiscal year then ended. As of the Effective Date, except as described on Schedule 5.8, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, considered as a whole, had no material contingent liabilities or material Indebtedness required under GAAP to be disclosed in a consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower that were not included in the financial statements referred to in this Section 5.8 or disclosed in the notes thereto unless otherwise permitted under this Agreement.

Section 5.9. No Material Adverse Change. Except as may be described on Schedule 5.9, since December 31, 2007 there has occurred no event or effect with respect to the business, assets, operations or condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, as reflected in its annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.10. Taxes. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have filed all material tax returns required to be filed, whether in the United States or in any foreign jurisdiction, and have paid all governmental taxes, rates, assessments, fees, charges and levies (collectively, “Taxes”) shown to be due and payable on such returns or on any assessments made against Borrower and its Subsidiaries or any of their properties (other than any such assessments, fees, charges or

levies that are not more than ninety (90) days past due, or which can thereafter be paid without penalty, or which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which reserves have been provided in conformity with GAAP, or which the failure to pay could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect).

Section 5.11. Consents. On the Effective Date and on any Facility Increase Funding Date, all material consents and approvals of, and filings and registrations with, and all other actions of, all governmental agencies, authorities or instrumentalities required to have been obtained or made by the Borrower in order to obtain the Term Loans hereunder on such date have been or will have been obtained or made and are or will be in full force and effect.

Section 5.12. Insurance. The Borrower and its material Subsidiaries currently maintain in effect, with responsible insurance companies, including captive insurance companies, or through self-insurance, insurance against any loss or damage to all insurable property and assets owned by it, which insurance is of a character and in or in excess of such amounts as are customarily maintained by companies similarly situated and operating like property or assets (subject to self-insured retentions and deductibles), and insurance with respect to employers’ and public and product liability risks (subject to self-insured retentions and deductibles).

Section 5.13. Intellectual Property. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries own or hold valid licenses to use all the patents, trademarks, permits, service marks, and trade names that are necessary to the operation of the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as presently conducted, except where the failure to own, or hold valid licenses to use, such patents, trademarks, permits, service marks, and trade names could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.14. Ownership of Property. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have good title to or a valid leasehold interest in all of their real property and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all of their other property, subject to no Liens except Permitted Liens, except where the failure to have such title or leasehold interest in such property could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.15. Existing Indebtedness. Schedule 5.15 contains a complete and accurate list of all Indebtedness outstanding as of the Effective Date, with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, in each case in a principal amount of $30,000,000 (or, if denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, the Dollar Equivalent of $30,000,000) or more (other than the Obligations hereunder and Indebtedness permitted by Section 6.12(b) through (j)) and permitted by Section 6.12(a), in each case showing the aggregate principal amount thereof, the name of the respective borrower and any other entity which directly or indirectly guaranteed such Indebtedness, and the scheduled payments of such Indebtedness.

Section 5.16. Existing Liens. Schedule 5.16 contains a complete and accurate list of all Liens outstanding as of the Effective Date, with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries where the Indebtedness or other obligations secured by such Lien is in a principal amount of $30,000,000 (or, if denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, the Dollar Equivalent of $30,000,000) or more (other than the Liens permitted by Section 6.11(b) through (r)), and

permitted by Section 6.11(a), in each case showing the name of the Person whose assets are subject to such Lien, the aggregate principal amount of the Indebtedness secured thereby, and a description of the Agreements or other instruments creating, granting, or otherwise giving rise to such Lien.

Section 5.17. Employee Benefit Plan. The Borrower, each of its Subsidiaries and each of their respective ERISA Affiliates are in compliance with all applicable provisions and requirements of ERISA and the Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan, and have performed all their obligations under each Employee Benefit Plan except for any such non-compliance or non-performance which could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No liability to the PBGC (other than required premium payments), the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, any Employee Benefit Plan or any trust established under Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan, except for any such liability which could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Plan has Unfunded Vested Liabilities which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. As of the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan, the potential liability of the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective ERISA Affiliates for a complete withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of Section 4203 of ERISA), when aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, based on information available pursuant to Section 4221(e) of ERISA, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower, each of its Subsidiaries and each of their ERISA Affiliates have complied with the requirements of Section 515 of ERISA with respect to each Multiemployer Plan and are not in material “default” (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA) with respect to payments to a Multiemployer Plan, except for any such non-compliance which could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.18. OFAC. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) is a person on the list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons or subject to the limitations or prohibitions under any other U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control regulation or executive order, or (ii) will knowingly use any proceeds of the Loans, directly or indirectly, to support activities in any country subject to a comprehensive sanctions program administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) where such activities would be in violation of the sanctions program.

Section 5.19. Compliance with Certain Laws. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance, in all material respects, with (i) the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, and each of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) and any other enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto, and (ii) the Uniting And Strengthening America By Providing Appropriate Tools Required To Intercept And Obstruct Terrorism (USA Patriot Act of 2001). No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for

political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries will duly pay and discharge all Taxes upon or against it or its properties within ninety (90) days after becoming due or, if later, prior to the date on which penalties are imposed for such unpaid Taxes, unless and to the extent that (i) the same is being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and reserves have been established in conformity with GAAP, or (ii) the failure to effect such payment or discharge could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 6.4. ERISA.

intention to seek termination of any Plan or appointment of a trustee therefor; (iii) Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ intention to terminate or withdraw from any Plan if such termination or withdrawal would result in liability under Title IV of ERISA, unless such termination or withdrawal could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (iv) the receipt by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries of notice of the occurrence of any event that could reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence of any liability (other than for benefits), fine or penalty to the Borrower and/or to the Borrower’s Subsidiaries, or any plan amendment that could reasonably be expected to increase the contingent liability of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in either case in connection with any post-retirement benefit under a welfare plan (subject to ERISA), unless such event or amendment could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower will also promptly notify the Administrative Agent of (i) any material contributions to any Foreign Plan that have not been made by the required due date for such contribution if such default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (ii) any Foreign Plan that is not funded to the extent required by the law of the jurisdiction whose law governs such Foreign Plan based on the actuarial assumptions reasonably used at any time if such underfunding (together with any penalties likely to result) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (iii) any material change anticipated to any Foreign Plan that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The chief financial officer of the Borrower and/or his or her designee shall be afforded the opportunity to be present at any meeting of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and such accountants.

ARTICLE 8. CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES.

Section 8.1. Change of Law.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any Note, if at any time any change, after the date hereof (or, if later, after the date the Administrative Agent or any Lender becomes the Administrative Agent or a Lender), in applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof makes it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans, such Lender shall promptly give written notice thereof and of the basis therefor in reasonable detail to the Borrower, and such Lender’s obligations to fund affected Eurodollar Loans or make, continue or convert such Loans under this Agreement shall thereupon be suspended until it is no longer unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain such Eurodollar Loans.

(b) Upon the giving of the notice to Borrower referred to in subsection (a) above in respect of any such Eurodollar Loan, and provided the Borrower shall not have prepaid such Eurodollar Loan pursuant to Section 2.10, (i) any outstanding such Eurodollar Loan of such Lender shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable thereto or on such earlier date as required by law, and (ii) such Lender shall make or continue its portion of any requested Borrowing of such Eurodollar Loan as a Base Rate Loan, which Base Rate Loan shall, for all other purposes, be considered part of such Borrowing.

(c) Any Lender that has given any notice pursuant to Section 8.1(a) shall, upon determining that it would no longer be unlawful for it to make such Eurodollar Loans, give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and upon giving such notice, its obligation to make, allow conversions into and maintain such Eurodollar Loans shall be reinstated.

Section 8.2. Unavailability of Deposits or Inability to Ascertain LIBOR Rate. If on or before the first day of any Interest Period for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans the Administrative Agent determines in good faith (after consultation with the other Lenders) that, due to changes in circumstances since the date hereof, adequate and fair means do not exist for determining the LIBOR Rate (including without limitation, the unavailability of matching deposits in the applicable currency) or such rate will not accurately reflect the cost to the Required Lenders of funding Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall give written notice (in reasonable detail) of such determination and of the basis therefor to the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist (which the Administrative Agent shall do promptly after they do not exist), (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make, continue or convert Loans as or into such Eurodollar Loans, or to convert Base Rate Loans into such Eurodollar Loans, shall be suspended and (ii) each Eurodollar Loan will automatically on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, convert into a Base Rate Loan.

Section 8.3. Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

(a) If, on or after the date hereof, the adoption of or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its applicable Lending Office), with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency exercising control over banks or financial institutions generally issued after the date hereof (or, if later, after the date the Administrative Agent or such Lender becomes the Administrative Agent or a Lender):

(i) subjects any Lender (or its applicable Lending Office) to any tax, duty or other charge related to any Eurodollar Loan or its obligation to advance or maintain Eurodollar Loans, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender (or its applicable Lending Office) of the principal of or interest on its Eurodollar Loans or any participations in any thereof, or any other amounts due under this Agreement related to its Eurodollar Loans or participations therein, or its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans or acquire participations therein (except for changes with respect to taxes that are not Indemnified Taxes pursuant to Section 3.3); or

(ii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding for any Eurodollar Loan any such requirement included in an applicable Statutory Reserve Rate) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (or its applicable Lending Office) or imposes on any Lender (or its Lending Office) or on the interbank market any other condition affecting its Eurodollar Loans or its participation in any thereof, or its obligation to advance or maintain Eurodollar Loans or participate in any thereof;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its applicable Lending Office) of advancing or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable Lending Office) in connection therewith under this Agreement or its Note, by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then, subject to Section 8.3(c), from time to time, within thirty (30) days after receipt of a certificate from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) pursuant to subsection (c) below setting forth in reasonable detail such determination and the basis thereof, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

(b) If, after the date hereof, the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have reasonably determined that the adoption after the date hereof of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein (including, without limitation, any revision in the Final Risk-Based Capital Guidelines of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (12 CFR Part 208, Appendix A; 00 XXX Xxxx 000, Xxxxxxxx X) or of the Office

of the Comptroller of the Currency (12 CFR Part 3, Appendix A), or in any other applicable capital adequacy rules heretofore adopted and issued by any governmental authority), or any change after the date hereof in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or its applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital, or on the capital of any corporation controlling such Lender, as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or its controlling corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy in effect immediately before such adoption, change or compliance) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material, then, subject to Section 8.3(c), from time to time, within thirty (30) days after its receipt of a certificate from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) pursuant to subsection (c) below setting forth in reasonable detail such determination and the basis thereof, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction or the Borrower may prepay all Eurodollar Loans of such Lender.

(c) The Administrative Agent and each Lender that determines to seek compensation or additional interest under this Section 8.3 shall give written notice to the Borrower and, in the case of a Lender other than the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent of the circumstances that entitle the Administrative Agent or such Lender to such compensation no later than ninety (90) days after the Administrative Agent or such Lender receives actual notice or obtains actual knowledge of the law, rule, order or interpretation or occurrence of another event giving rise to a claim hereunder. In any event the Borrower shall not have any obligation to pay any amount with respect to claims accruing prior to the ninetieth day preceding such written demand, except if the law, rule, order or interpretation giving rise to such request for compensation has retroactive effect, such ninety (90) day period shall be extended to include such retroactive period. The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall use reasonable efforts to avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation, additional interest, and any payment under Section 3.3, including, without limitation, the designation of a different Lending Office, if such action or designation will not, in the sole judgment of the Administrative Agent or such Lender made in good faith, be otherwise disadvantageous to it; provided that the foregoing shall not in any way affect the rights of any Lender or the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 8.3, and provided further that no Lender shall be obligated to make its Eurodollar Loans hereunder at any office located in the United States of America. A certificate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as applicable, claiming compensation or additional interest under this Section 8.3, and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and accompanied by a statement prepared by the Administrative Agent or such Lender describing in reasonable detail the calculations thereof shall be prima facie evidence of the correctness thereof. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

Section 8.4. Lending Offices. The Administrative Agent and each Lender may, at its option, elect to make or maintain its Term Loans hereunder at the Lending Office for each Type

of Term Loan available hereunder or at such other of its branches, offices or affiliates as it may from time to time elect and designate in a written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, provided that, except in the case of any such transfer to another of its branches, offices or affiliates made at the request of the Borrower, the Borrower shall not be responsible for the costs arising under Section 3.3 or 8.3 resulting from any such transfer to the extent not otherwise applicable to such Lender prior to such transfer.

Section 8.5. Discretion of Lender as to Manner of Funding. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, each Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Term Loans in any manner it sees fit.

Section 8.6. Substitution of Lender. If (a) any Lender has demanded compensation or additional interest or given notice of its intention to demand compensation or additional interest under Section 8.3, (b) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender under Section 2.12, (c) any Lender is unable to submit any form or certificate required under Section 3.3(b) or withdraws or cancels any previously submitted form with no substitution therefor, (d) any Lender gives notice of any change in law or regulations, or in the interpretation thereof, pursuant to Section 8.1, (e) any Lender has been declared insolvent or a receiver or conservator has been appointed for a material portion of its assets, business or properties, (f) any Lender shall seek to avoid its obligation to make or maintain Term Loans hereunder for any reason, including, without limitation, reliance upon 12 U.S.C. § 1821(e) or (n) (1) (B), (g) any taxes referred to in Section 3.3 have been levied or imposed (or the Borrower determines in good faith that there is a substantial likelihood that such taxes will be levied or imposed) so as to require withholding or deductions by the Borrower or payment by the Borrower of additional amounts to any Lender, or other reimbursement or indemnification of any Lender, as a result thereof, or (h) any Lender shall decline to consent to a modification or waiver of the terms of this Agreement or any other Credit Documents requested by the Borrower, then and in such event, upon request from the Borrower delivered to such Lender, and the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall assign, in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.10 and an appropriately completed Assignment Agreement, all of its rights and obligations under the Credit Documents to another Lender or a commercial banking institution selected by the Borrower and (in the case of a commercial banking institution other than a Lender) reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, in consideration for the payments set forth in such Assignment Agreement and payment by the Borrower to such Lender of all other amounts which such Lender may be owed pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, Sections 2.12, 3.3, 8.3 and 10.13.

ARTICLE 9. THE AGENTS.

Section 9.1. Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent and Other Agents. Each Lender hereby appoints Citibank, N.A. as the Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents and hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as the Administrative Agent on each of its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Credit Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. None of the other Lenders appointed as one of the Other Agents shall have any duties, responsibilities, or obligations hereunder in such capacity.

Section 9.2. Rights and Powers. The Administrative Agent and the Other Agents shall have the same rights and powers under the Credit Documents as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising such rights and power as though it were not the Administrative Agent or an Other Agent, and the Administrative Agent and the Other Agents and their respective affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates as if it were not an Administrative Agent or an Other Agent under the Credit Documents. The term Lender as used in all Credit Documents, unless the context otherwise clearly requires, includes the Administrative Agent and the Other Agents in their respective individual capacities as a Lender.

Section 9.3. Action by Administrative Agent and the Other Agents. The obligations of the Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents are only those expressly set forth therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action concerning any Default or Event of Default, except as expressly provided in Sections 7.2 and 7.4. Unless and until the Required Lenders (or, if required by Section 10.11, all of the Lenders) give such direction (including, without limitation, the giving of a notice of default as described in Section 7.1(c)), the Administrative Agent may, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or therein, take or refrain from taking such actions as it deems appropriate and in the best interest of all the Lenders. In no event, however, shall the Administrative Agent be required to take any action in violation of applicable law or of any provision of any Credit Document, and each of the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or under any other Credit Document unless it first receives any further assurances of its indemnification from the Lenders that it may require, including prepayment of any related expenses and any other protection it requires against any and all costs, expenses, and liabilities it may incur in taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Default or Event of Default, other than non-payment of any scheduled principal or interest payment due hereunder, exists unless notified in writing to the contrary by a Lender or the Borrower. In all cases in which the Credit Documents do not require the Administrative Agent to take specific action, the Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in using its discretion in failing to take or in taking any action thereunder. Any instructions of the Required Lenders, or of any other group of Lenders called for under specific provisions of the Credit Documents, shall be binding on all the Lenders and holders of Notes.

Section 9.4. Consultation with Experts. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 9.5. Indemnification Provisions; Credit Decision. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, or employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by them in connection with the Credit Documents (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or, if required by Section 10.11, all of the Lenders), or (ii) in the absence of their own gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or

representation made in connection with this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any Borrowing; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of the Borrower or any Subsidiary contained herein or in any other Credit Document; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article 4, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability, value, worth or collectibility hereof or of any other Credit Document or of any other documents or writings furnished in connection with any Credit Document; and the Administrative Agent makes no representation of any kind or character with respect to any such matters mentioned in this sentence. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under any of the Credit Documents by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders or any other Person for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, other document or statement (whether written or oral) believed by it to be genuine or to be sent by the proper party or parties. In particular and without limiting any of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for confirming the accuracy of any Compliance Certificate or other document or instrument received by any of them under the Credit Documents. The Administrative Agent may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until written notice of transfer shall have been filed with such Administrative Agent signed by such owner in form satisfactory to such Administrative Agent. Each Lender acknowledges that it has independently, and without reliance on the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, obtained such information and made such investigations and inquiries regarding the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as it deems appropriate, and based upon such information, investigations and inquiries, made its own credit analysis and decision to extend credit to the Borrower in the manner set forth in the Credit Documents. It shall be the responsibility of each Lender to keep itself informed about the creditworthiness and business, properties, assets, liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise) and prospects of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and the Administrative Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any Lender for such matters. The Administrative Agent shall have no duty to disclose to the Lenders information that is not required by any Credit Document to be furnished by the Borrower or any Subsidiaries to such Agent at such time, but is voluntarily furnished to such Agent (either in its respective capacity as Administrative Agent or in its individual capacity).

Section 9.6. Indemnity. The Lenders shall ratably, in accordance with their Percentages, indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent and its directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives harmless from and against any liabilities, losses, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by them, in each case in their capacity as such, under any Credit Document or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, regardless of when asserted or arising, except to the extent they are promptly reimbursed for the same by the Borrower and except to the extent that any event giving rise to a claim was caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking to be indemnified. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 9.6 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Section 9.7. Resignation. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time and shall resign upon any removal thereof as a Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. Any resignation of

the Administrative Agent shall not be effective until a replacement therefor is appointed pursuant to the terms hereof. Upon any such resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders and, so long as no Event of Default shall then exist, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) 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 thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and, so long as no Event of Default shall then exist, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be any Lender hereunder or any commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations thereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent the provisions of this Article 9 and all protective provisions of the other Credit Documents shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent.

Section 9.8. Sub-Agents. The Administrative Agent may designate one or more Sub-Agents under this Agreement to carry out certain duties of the Administrative Agent as described herein. Each Sub-Agent shall be subject to each of the obligations in this Agreement to be performed by such Sub-Agent, and each of the Borrower and the Lenders agrees that each Sub-Agent shall be entitled to exercise each of the rights and shall be entitled to each of the benefits of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement as relate to the performance of its obligations hereunder.

ARTICLE 10. MISCELLANEOUS.

Section 10.1. No Waiver. No delay or failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or on the part of the holder or holders of any Notes, in the exercise of any power, right or remedy under any Credit Document shall operate as a waiver thereof or as an acquiescence in any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other power, right or remedy. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the powers, rights and remedies under the Credit Documents of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the holder or holders of any Notes are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any powers, rights or remedies any of them would otherwise have.

Section 10.2. Non-Business Day. Subject to Section 2.5, if any payment of principal or interest on any portion of any Term Loan or any other Obligation shall fall due on a day which is not a Business Day, interest or fees (as applicable) at the rate, if any, such portion of any Term Loan or other Obligation bears for the period prior to maturity shall continue to accrue in the manner set forth herein on such Obligation from the stated due date thereof to the next succeeding Business Day, on which the same shall instead be payable.

Section 10.3. Documentary Taxes. The Borrower agrees that it will pay any documentary, stamp or similar taxes payable with respect to any Credit Document, including interest and penalties, in the event any such taxes are assessed irrespective of when such assessment is made, other than any such taxes imposed as a result of any transfer of an interest in a Credit Document. Each Lender that determines to seek compensation under this Section 10.3 shall give written notice to the Borrower and, in the case of a Lender other than the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent of the circumstances that entitle such Lender to such compensation no later than ninety (90) days after such Lender receives actual notice or obtains actual knowledge of the law, rule, order or interpretation or occurrence of another event giving rise to a claim hereunder. In any event, the Borrower shall not have any obligation to pay any amount with respect to claims accruing prior to the 90th day preceding such written demand.

Section 10.4. Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties made herein or in certificates given pursuant hereto shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and shall continue in full force and effect with respect to the date as of which they were made as long as the Borrower has any Obligation hereunder or any Commitment hereunder is in effect.

Section 10.5. Survival of Indemnities. All indemnities and all provisions relative to reimbursement to the Lenders of amounts sufficient to protect the yield of the Lenders with respect to the Loans, including, but not limited to, Section 2.12, Section 3.3, Section 7.6, Section 8.3, Section 10.3, and Section 10.13 hereof, shall, subject to Section 8.3(c), survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the payment of the Term Loans and all other Obligations and, with respect to any Lender, any replacement by the Borrower of such Lender pursuant to the terms hereof, in each case for a period of one (1) year.

Section 10.6. Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of, and throughout the continuance of, any Event of Default, each Lender and each subsequent holder of any Note is hereby authorized by the Borrower at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Borrower or any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts, and in whatever currency denominated) and any other Indebtedness at any time owing by that Lender or that subsequent holder to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower, whether or not matured, against and on account of the due and unpaid obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to that Lender or that subsequent holder under the Credit Documents, irrespective of whether or not that Lender or that subsequent holder shall have made any demand hereunder. Each Lender shall promptly give notice to the Borrower of any action taken by it under this Section 10.6, provided that any failure of such Lender to give such notice to the Borrower shall not affect the validity of such setoff. Each Lender agrees with each other Lender a party hereto that if such Lender receives and retains any payment, whether by setoff or application of deposit balances or otherwise, in respect of the Term Loans in excess of its ratable share of payments on all such Obligations then owed to the Lenders hereunder, then such Lender shall purchase for cash at face value, but without recourse, ratably from each of the other Lenders such amount of the Term Loans and participations therein held by each such other

Lender as shall be necessary to cause such Lender to share such excess payment ratably with all the other Lenders; provided, however, that if any such purchase is made by any Lender, and if such excess payment or part thereof is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the related purchases from the other Lenders shall be rescinded ratably and the purchase price restored as to the portion of such excess payment so recovered, but without interest.

Section 10.7. Notices.

(a) Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices under the Credit Documents shall be in writing (including facsimile or other electronic means) and shall be given to a party hereunder at its address or facsimile number set forth below or such other address or facsimile number as such party may hereafter specify by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, given by courier, by United States certified or registered mail, by telegram or by other telecommunication device capable of creating a written record of such notice and its receipt.

Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by facsimile, when such facsimile is transmitted to the facsimile number specified in this Section 10.7 or pursuant to Section 10.10 and a confirmation of receipt of such facsimile has been received by the sender, (ii) if given by courier, when delivered, (iii) if given by mail, five (5) days after such communication is deposited in the mail, certified or registered with return receipt requested, or (iv) if given by any other means, when delivered at the addresses specified in this Section 10.7, or pursuant to Section 10.10; provided that any notice given pursuant to Article 2 shall be effective only upon receipt and, provided further, that any notice that but for this proviso would be effective after the close of business on a Business Day or on a day that is not a Business Day shall be effective at the opening of business on the next Business Day.

(b) The Borrower will provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Credit Documents, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (i) relates to a request for a new, or a conversion of an existing, Term Loan (including any election of an interest rate or Interest Period relating thereto), (ii) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (iii) provides notice of any Default or Event of Default or (iv) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of any provision of this Agreement and/or any Term Loan (all such non-excluded communications being referred to herein collectively as “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx.

The Borrower further agrees that the Administrative Agent may make the Communications

available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Intralinks or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”). The Borrower acknowledges that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution.

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE “AGENT PARTIES” (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE AGENT PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY OF THE RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ADVISORS OR REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES (COLLECTIVELY, THE “AGENT PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE BORROWER, ANY LENDER, OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF THE TRANSMISSION BY THE BORROWER, ANY OF THE AGENT PARTIES OR ANY OTHER PERSON OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY AGENT PARTY IS FOUND IN A FINAL NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM SUCH AGENT PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Credit Documents. Each of the Lenders agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Credit Documents. Each of the Lenders agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Credit Document in any other manner specified in such Credit Document.

Section 10.8. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by the different parties on different counterpart signature pages, each of which

when executed shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are attached to the same document. Delivery of an executed counterpart by facsimile or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 10.9. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Borrower, each of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Borrower, each of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, and their respective successors and assigns, including any subsequent holder of any Note; provided, however, the Borrower may not assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document without the written consent of all Lenders and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may not assign any of its respective rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Credit Document except in accordance with Article 9 and no Lender may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document except in accordance with Section 10.10. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall be construed to confer on any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, and to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, Controlling Affiliates of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Other Agents, and the Indemnified Parties as defined in Section 10.13) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and the Notes issued to it (i) to a Federal Reserve Bank to secure extensions of credit by such Federal Reserve Bank to such Lender, or (ii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund comprised in whole or in part of commercial loans, to a trustee for such fund in support of such Lender’s obligations to such trustee; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release any Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such Federal Reserve Bank or such trustee for such Lender as a party hereto and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely with such Lender in connection with the rights and obligations of such Lender under this Agreement.

Section 10.10. Sales and Transfers of Borrowing and Notes; Participations in Borrowings and Notes.

(a) Any Lender may, upon written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at any time sell to one or more commercial banking or other financial or lending institutions (“Participants”) participating interests in any Commitment of such Lender hereunder, provided that no Lender shall transfer, grant or assign any participation under which the Participant shall have rights to vote upon or to consent to any matter to be decided by the Lenders or the Required Lenders hereunder or under any other Credit Document or to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) increase the amount of such Lender’s Commitment and such increase would affect such Participant, (ii) reduce the principal of, or interest on, any of such Lender’s Borrowings, or any fees or other amounts payable to such Lender hereunder and such reduction would affect such Participant, (iii) postpone any date fixed for any scheduled payment of principal of, or interest on, any of such Lender’s Borrowings, or any fees or other amounts payable to such Lender hereunder and such postponement would affect such

Participant, or (iv) release any collateral security for any Obligation, except as otherwise specifically provided in any Credit Document. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes under this Agreement, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower under any Credit Document. The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Notes shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable in accordance with Section 7.2 or 7.3 upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and any Note to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement or any Note, provided that such right of setoff shall be subject to the obligation of such Participant to share with the Lenders, and the Lenders agree to share with such Participant, as provided in Section 10.6. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of and have the obligations under Sections 2.12, 3.3 and 8.3 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Borrowings outstanding from time to time, provided that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such Sections than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred if no participation had been transferred and provided, further, that Sections 8.3(c) and 8.6 shall apply to the transferor Lender with respect to any claim by any Participant pursuant to Section 2.12, 3.3 or 8.3 as fully as if such claim was made by such Lender. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall not, at any time, be obligated to pay to any Lender any sum in excess of the sum the Borrower would have been obligated to pay to such Lender hereunder if such Lender had not sold any participation in its rights and obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document.

(b) Any Lender may at any time sell to (i) any of such Lender’s affiliates or to any other Lender or any affiliate thereof that, in each case, is a commercial banking or other financial or lending institution not subject to Regulation T of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and, (ii) with the prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Administrative Agent, and the Borrower, to one or more commercial banking or other financial or lending institutions not subject to Regulation T of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (any of (i) or (ii), a “Purchasing Lender”), all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit 10.10, executed by such Purchasing Lender and such transferor Lender (and, in the case of a Purchasing Lender which is not then a Lender or an affiliate thereof, by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) and delivered to the Administrative Agent; provided that each such sale to a Purchasing Lender (other than an existing Lender) shall be in the amount of $5,000,000 or more, or if in a lesser amount or if as a result of such sale the sum of the unfunded Commitment of such Lender plus the aggregate principal amount of such Lender’s Term Loans would be less than the amount of $5,000,000 (calculated as hereinafter set forth), such sale shall be of all of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and all of the other Credit Documents payable to it to one

Purchasing Lender. Notwithstanding the requirement of the Borrower’s consent set forth above, but subject to all of the other terms and conditions of this Section 10.10(b), any Lender may sell to one or more commercial banking or other financial or lending institutions not subject to Regulation T of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, all or any part of their rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with only the consent of the Administrative Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Upon such execution, delivery and acceptance, from and after the effective date of the transfer determined pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, (x) the Purchasing Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with a Commitment as set forth herein and (y) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of a transferor Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such transferor Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). Such Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of Commitments and Percentages arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Credit Documents. On or prior to the effective date of the transfer determined pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall upon reasonable notice from the Administrative Agent execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for any surrendered Note, a new Note as appropriate to the order of such Purchasing Lender in an amount equal to the Commitments assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, and, if the transferor Lender has retained a Commitment or Borrowing hereunder, a new Note to the order of the transferor Lender in an amount equal to the Commitments or Borrowings retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall be dated the Effective Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Notes replaced thereby. The Notes surrendered by the transferor Lender shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower marked “cancelled.”

(c) Upon its receipt of an Assignment Agreement executed by a transferor Lender and a Purchasing Lender (and, in the case of a Purchasing Lender that is not then a Lender or an affiliate thereof, by the Administrative Agent and, to the extent required by Section 10.10(b), by the Borrower), together with payment by the transferor Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder of a registration and processing fee of $2,000 (unless (x) the Borrower is replacing such Lender pursuant to the terms hereof, in which event such fee shall be paid by the Borrower, or (y) the Purchasing Lender is an affiliate of the transferor Lender, in which event no such fee shall be payable), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment Agreement, and (ii) on the effective date of the transfer determined pursuant thereto give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the Borrower. The Borrower shall not be responsible for such registration and processing fee or any costs or expenses incurred by any Lender, any Purchasing Lender or the Administrative Agent in connection with such assignment except as provided above.

(d) If, pursuant to this Section 10.10 any interest in this Agreement or any Term Loan or Note is transferred to any transferee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction

other than the United States of America or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, (i) to represent to the transferor Lender (for the benefit of the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) that under applicable law and treaties no taxes will be required to be withheld by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or the transferor Lender with respect to any payments to be made to such transferee in respect of the Term Loans, (ii) to furnish to the transferor Lender (and, in the case of any Purchasing Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) two duly completed and signed copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities (wherein such transferee claims entitlement to complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax on all interest payments hereunder), and (iii) to agree (for the benefit of the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) to provide the transferor Lender (and, in the case of any Purchasing Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) new forms as contemplated by Section 3.3(b) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form and comparable statements in accordance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations and amendments duly executed and completed by such transferee, and to comply from time to time with all applicable U.S. laws and regulations with regard to such withholding tax exemption.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 10.10, no transfer or assignment of the interests of any Lender hereunder or any grant of participations therein shall be permitted if such transfer, assignment or grant would require the Borrower to file a registration statement with the SEC or to qualify the Term Loans, the Notes or any other Obligations under the securities laws of any jurisdiction.

Section 10.11. Amendments, Waivers and Consents. Any provision of the Credit Documents may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by (a) the Borrower, (b) the Required Lenders, and (c) if the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Other Agents are affected thereby, the Administrative Agent or the Other Agents, as the case may be, provided that:

(i) no amendment or waiver shall (A) increase the Aggregate Commitment Amount (except as provided pursuant to Section 2.13) without the consent of all Lenders, (B) increase any Commitment of any Lender without the consent of such Lender, (C) postpone or extend the Facility Increase Expiration Date or the Maturity Date without the consent of all Lenders, (D) reduce the amount of or postpone the date for any scheduled payment of any principal of or interest (including, without limitation, any reduction in the rate of interest unless such reduction is otherwise provided herein) on any Term Loan without the consent of all Lenders, or (E) reduce the amount of or postpone the date for any schedule payment of any fee or other Obligation payable hereunder, without the consent of each Lender owed any such fee or other Obligation; and

(ii) no amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by each Lender, change the provisions of this Section 10.11, Section 3.2(a) or the definition of Required Lenders or the number of Lenders required to take any action under any other provision of the Credit

Documents or any provision providing for the pro rata nature of payments by or to Lenders.

Section 10.12. Headings. Section headings used in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement.

Section 10.13. Legal Fees, Other Costs and Indemnification. The Borrower, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, agrees to pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of legal counsel to the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation and execution of the Credit Documents (which shall be in an amount agreed in writing by the Borrower), and any amendment, waiver or consent related thereto, whether or not the transactions contemplated therein are consummated. The Borrower further agrees to indemnify each Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Other Agents, and their respective directors, officers, employees and attorneys (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of litigation or preparation therefor, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto) which any of them may pay or incur as a result of (a) any action, suit or proceeding by any third party or Governmental Authority against such Indemnified Party and relating to any Credit Document, the Term Loans, or the application or proposed application by any of the Borrower of the proceeds of any Term Loan REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH CLAIMS OR ACTIONS ARE FOUNDED IN WHOLE OR IN PART UPON THE ALLEGED SIMPLE OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE OF ANY OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES AND/OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES OR ATTORNEYS, (b) any investigation of any third party or any Governmental Authority involving any Lender (as a lender hereunder), or the Administrative Agent or the Other Agents (in such capacity hereunder) and related to any use made or proposed to be made by the Borrower of the proceeds of any Term Loan or any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly with the proceeds of any Term Loan, and (c) any investigation of any third party or any Governmental Authority, litigation or proceeding involving any Lender (as a lender hereunder) or the Administrative Agent or the Other Agents (in such capacity hereunder) and related to any environmental cleanup, audit, compliance or other matter relating to any Environmental Law or the presence of any Hazardous Material (including, without limitation, any losses, liabilities, damages, injuries, costs, expenses or claims asserted or arising under any Environmental Law) with respect to the Borrower, regardless of whether caused by, or within the control of, the Borrower; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party for any of the foregoing arising out of such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct, as determined pursuant to a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or as expressly agreed in writing by such Indemnified Party. The Borrower, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, the Other Agents or any Lender at any time, shall reimburse such Agent or such Lender for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending against any of the foregoing, except if the same is excluded from indemnification pursuant to the provisions of the preceding sentence. Each Indemnified Party agrees to contest any indemnified claim if requested by the Borrower, in a manner reasonably directed by the Borrower, with counsel selected by the Indemnified Party and approved by the Borrower, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any Indemnified

Party that proposes or intends to settle or compromise any such indemnified claim shall give the Borrower written notice of the terms of such settlement or compromise reasonably in advance of settling or compromising such claim or proceeding and shall obtain the Borrower’s prior written consent thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that the Indemnified Party shall not be restricted from settling or compromising any such claim if the Indemnified Party waives its right to indemnity from the Borrower in respect of such claim and such settlement or compromise does not materially increase the Borrower’s liability pursuant to this Section 10.13 to any related party of such Indemnified Party.

Section 10.14. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(A) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS, AND THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES THERETO, SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

Section 10.15. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Other Agents and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to their respective affiliates and to prospective Purchasing Lenders and Participants and potential counterparties to hedge agreements or any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors who have reason to use such Information in connection with the evaluation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (subject to similar confidentiality provisions as provided herein) solely for purposes of evaluating such Information, (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (iii) to the extent required by applicable law or regulation or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any proceedings relating to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, (v) with the consent of the Borrower, (vi) to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Borrower received by it from any Lender, Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Other Agents, or (vii) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.15, or (y) becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or its affiliates, or the Lenders or their respective affiliates, excluding any Information from such source which, to the actual knowledge of the Administrative Agent, the Other Agent or the Lender receiving such Information, has been

disclosed by such source in violation of a duty of confidentiality to the Borrower. For purposes hereof, “Information” means all information received by the Lenders from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Lenders on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower, excluding any Information from a source which, to the actual knowledge of the Administrative Agent, the Other Agent or the Lender receiving such Information, has been disclosed by such source in violation of a duty of confidentiality to the Borrower. The Lenders shall be considered to have complied with their respective obligations if they have exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as they would accord their own confidential information. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any party to this Agreement (and any employee, representative, or other agent of any party to this Agreement) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to it relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. However, any such information relating to the tax treatment or tax structure is required to be kept confidential to the extent necessary to comply with any applicable federal or state securities laws.

Section 10.16. [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 10.17. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 10.18. Change in Accounting Principles, Fiscal Year or Tax Laws. If (i) any change in accounting principles from those used in the preparation of the financial statements of the Borrower referred to in Section 5.8 is hereafter occasioned by the promulgation of rules, regulations, pronouncements and opinions by or required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or the American Institute of Certified Public Accounts (or successors thereto or agencies with similar functions), and such change materially affects the calculation of any component of any financial covenant, standard or term found in this Agreement, or (ii) there is a material change in federal, state or foreign tax laws which materially affects any of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries’ ability to comply with the financial covenants, standards or terms found in this Agreement, the Borrower and the Lenders agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions (with the agreement of the Required Lenders or, if required by Section 10.11, all of the Lenders) so as to equitably reflect such changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating any of the Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ financial condition shall be the same after such changes as if such changes had not been made. Unless and until such provisions have been so amended, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

Section 10.19. Final Agreement. The Credit Documents constitute the entire understanding among the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and supersede all earlier or contemporaneous agreements, whether written or oral, concerning the subject matter of the Credit Documents. THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT

BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

Section 10.20. Officer’s Certificates. It is not intended that any certificate of any officer or director of the Borrower delivered to the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Agreement shall give rise to any personal liability on the part of such officer or director.

Section 10.21. Effect of Inclusion of Exceptions. It is not intended that the specification of any exception to any covenant herein shall imply that the excepted matter would, but for such exception, be prohibited or required.

Section 10.22. Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required (if subject to the Patriot Act) to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act. The Borrower shall provide, to the extent commercially reasonable, such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lenders in order to assist the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in maintaining compliance with the Patriot Act.

Section 10.23. No Fiduciary Duty. Each of the Administrative Agent, each Other Agent, each Lender and their respective affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lender Parties”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees that nothing in the Credit Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any of the Lender Parties and the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lender Parties, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction, each of the Lender Parties is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other person, (iii) no Lender Party has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender Party or any of its affiliates has advised or is currently advising the Borrower on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrower except the obligations expressly set forth in the Credit Documents and (iv) the Borrower has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. The Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. The Borrower agrees that it will not claim that any Lender Party has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Borrower, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered by their duly authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.
