3-YEAR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT (“Revolving Credit Facility”) dated as of October 14, 2011 (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”), among JANUS CAPITAL GROUP INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”); the LENDERS party hereto; JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as the Administrative Agent, BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as the Syndication Agent, and CITIBANK, N.A., as Documentation Agent in the amount of $250.0 million (the loans thereunder, the “Revolving Credit Loans”).

The parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

“Adjusted LIBO Rate” shall mean, with respect to any Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing for any Interest Period, an interest rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16 of 1%) equal to the product of (a) the LIBO Rate in effect for such Interest Period and (b) Statutory Reserves.

“Administrative Agent” shall mean JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in its capacity as administrative agent under the Loan Documents, and its successors in such capacity as provided in Article VIII.

“Administrative Agent’s Fees” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 2.07(b).

“Affected Subsidiary” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 6.04(c).

“Affiliate” shall mean, when used with respect to a specified Person, another Person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, Controls or is Controlled by or is under common Control with the Person specified and, in any case, shall include, when used with respect to the Borrower or any Subsidiary, any joint venture in which the Borrower or

such Subsidiary holds Equity Interests of any class representing 15% or more of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of such class.

“Agreement” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the preamble hereto.

“Alternate Base Rate” shall mean, for any day, a rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16 of 1.00%) equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1.00%, and (c) the Adjusted LIBO Rate on such day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) for a deposit in dollars with a maturity of one month commencing two Business Days thereafter plus 1.00%. If for any reason the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) it is unable to ascertain the Federal Funds Effective Rate for any reason, including the inability or failure of the Administrative Agent to obtain sufficient quotations in accordance with the definition of such term, Alternate Base Rate shall be determined without regard to clause (b) above until the circumstances giving rise to such inability no longer exist, or (ii) reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate (determined as set forth above), the Alternate Base Rate shall be determined without regard to clause (c) above until such reasonable means again exist. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate, as the case may be.

“Applicable Rate” shall mean, for any day on or after the Closing Date, with respect to any ABR Loan, any Eurodollar Revolving Loan or the Commitment Fees payable hereunder, the applicable rate per annum set forth below under the caption “ABR Spread”, “Eurodollar Revolving Spread” or “Commitment Fee Rate”, as the case may be, based upon the ratings by Xxxxx’x and S&P, respectively, applicable on such day to the Index Debt:

Index Debt Ratings	ABR Spread		Eurodollar Revolving Spread		Commitment Fee Rate
Category 1 BBB+/Baa1 or higher	0.25	%	1.25	%	0.35	%

Category 2 BBB/Baa2	0.50	%	1.50	%	0.40	%

Category 3 BBB-/Baa3	0.75	%	1.75	%	0.45	%

For purposes of the foregoing, (a) if either Xxxxx’x or S&P shall not have in effect a rating for the Index Debt (other than by reason of the circumstances referred to in the last sentence of this definition), then such rating agency shall be deemed to have established a rating in Category 5; (ii) if the ratings established or deemed to have been established by Xxxxx’x and S&P for the Index Debt shall fall within different Categories, the Applicable Rate shall be based on the higher of the two ratings unless one of the two ratings is two or more Categories above the other, in which case the Applicable Rate shall be determined by reference to the Category one level above the Category corresponding to the lower rating; and (iii) if the ratings established or deemed to have been established by Xxxxx’x and S&P for the Index Debt shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of Xxxxx’x or S&P), such change shall be effective as of the date on which it is first announced by the applicable rating agency, irrespective of when notice of such change shall have been furnished by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Each change in the Applicable Rate shall apply during the period commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change. If the rating system of Xxxxx’x or S&P shall change, or if either such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Borrower and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Rate shall be determined by reference to the rating of the other rating agency (or, if the circumstances referred to in this sentence shall affect both rating agencies, the ratings most recently in effect prior to such changes or cessations).

“Arrangers” shall mean X.X. Xxxxxx Securities LLC and Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated.

Event shall not result solely by virtue of any ownership interest, or the acquisition of any ownership interest, in such Person by a Governmental Authority or instrumentality thereof; provided, further, that such ownership interest does not result in or provide such Person with immunity from the jurisdiction of courts within the United States or from the enforcement of judgments or writs of attachment on its assets or permit such Person (or such Governmental Authority or instrumentality) to reject, repudiate, disavow or disaffirm any contracts or agreements made by such Person.

“B Share Fees” shall mean (a) the contingent deferred sales charges payable to the Borrower by an investor in a load fund offered by the Borrower upon any redemption by such investor prior to a certain number of years after such investor’s investment in such fund and (b) the distribution fees payable by an investor in a load fund offered by the Borrower, in each case payable at the times and in the amounts described in the Janus Capital Funds plc prospectus dated August 30, 2011 and the Janus Selection prospectus dated September 23, 2011, in each case as amended from time to time, or the prospectus for any other substantially similar fund.

ARTICLE II

THE CREDITS

SECTION 2.01 Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower, at any time and from time to time on and after the date hereof and until the earlier of the Maturity Date and the termination of the Commitment of such Lender, in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (a) the Revolving Credit

Exposure of such Lender exceeding such Lender’s Commitment or (b) the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures of all the Lenders outstanding at the time exceeding the Total Commitment at the time. Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow hereunder, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein.

SECTION 2.02 Loans. (a) Each Revolving Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their Commitments. At the time of the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000. At the time that each ABR Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000; provided that such Borrowing may be in an aggregate principal amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the Total Commitment.

(b) Each Revolving Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Eurodollar Revolving Loans or ABR Loans, as the Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.04. Each Lender may at its option make any Eurodollar Revolving Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option (i) in the case of any failure by such branch or Affiliate to make such Loan, shall not relieve such Lender of its obligation to the Borrower hereunder and (ii) shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing which, if made, would result in an aggregate of more than 10 separate Revolving Loans of any Lender being outstanding hereunder at any one time. For purposes of the foregoing, Loans having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Loans.

(c) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof (i) in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Loan, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent in New York, New York, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on such date and (ii) in the case of an ABR Loan, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent in New York, New York, not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly credit the amounts so received to the general deposit account of the Borrower with the Administrative Agent. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required hereby. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with this paragraph (c), and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date

such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.

SECTION 2.03 [RESERVED]

SECTION 2.04 Revolving Borrowing Procedure. In order to request a Revolving Borrowing, the Borrower shall hand deliver, e-mail or fax to the Administrative Agent a duly completed and executed Revolving Borrowing Request (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the requested Revolving Borrowing and (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of the requested Revolving Borrowing. Each such request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing; (ii) the date of such Revolving Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and the amount thereof; and (iii) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no election as to the Type of Revolving Borrowing is specified in any such request, then the requested Revolving Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing is specified in any such request, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Lenders of any request given pursuant to this Section and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing.

SECTION 2.05 Swingline Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrower from time to time on and after the date hereof and until the earlier of the Maturity Date and the termination of the Commitments in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $50,000,000, or (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the Total Commitment then in effect. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans. Swingline Loans shall be ABR Loans.

(b) Whenever the Borrower desires that the Swingline Lender make Swingline Loans it shall give the Swingline Lender irrevocable telephonic notice confirmed promptly in writing (which telephonic notice must be received by the Swingline Lender not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the proposed borrowing date), specifying (i) the amount of the Swingline Loan to be borrowed and (ii) the requested borrowing date (which shall be a Business Day prior to the Maturity Date). Not later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the borrowing date specified in a notice in respect of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately

available funds equal to the amount of the Swingline Loan to be made by the Swingline Lender. The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Swingline Loan available to the Borrower on such borrowing date by depositing such proceeds in the account of the Borrower with the Administrative Agent on such borrowing date in immediately available funds.

(c) The Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), on one Business Day’s notice given by the Swingline Lender no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, request each Lender to make, and each Lender hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Loan, in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans (the “Refunded Swingline Loans”) outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the Swingline Lender. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02(c) with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.02(c) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders). The Revolving Loans so received by the Administrative Agent shall be immediately made available by it to the Swingline Lender for application by the Swingline Lender to the repayment of the Refunded Swingline Loans.

(d) If prior to the time a Revolving Loan would have otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.05(c), one of the events described in clauses (g) or (h) of Article VII shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower or if for any other reason, as determined by the Swingline Lender in its sole discretion, Revolving Loans may not be made as contemplated by Section 2.05(c), each Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.05(c), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the then outstanding Swingline Loans by paying to the Swingline Lender an amount (the “Swingline Participation Amount”) equal to (i) such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage times (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding that were to have been repaid with such Revolving Loans.

(e) Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Lender such Lender’s Swingline Participation Amount, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of the Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its Swingline Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Lender’s pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swingline Loans then due); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swingline Lender is required to be returned, such Lender will return to the Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swingline Lender.

(f) Each Lender’s obligation to make the Loans referred to in Section 2.05(c) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.05(d) shall be absolute and

unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender or the Borrower may have against the Swingline Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Article IV, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, a Guarantor or any other Lender or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

SECTION 2.06 Revolving Interest Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Revolving Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Revolving Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Revolving Borrowing to a Revolving Borrowing of a different Type or to continue such Revolving Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Revolving Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Revolving Loans comprising such Revolving Borrowing, and the Revolving Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Revolving Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election (each, an “Interest Election Request”) by telephone by the time that a Revolving Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.04 if the Borrower were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or fax to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower.

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the Revolving Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Revolving Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Revolving Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Revolving Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Revolving Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Revolving Borrowing.

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Revolving Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Revolving Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.07 Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”), which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily unused amount of the Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates. Accrued Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date. All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing Commitment Fees, the Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure (excluding its Swingline Exposure).

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the administrative fees (the “Administrative Agent’s Fees”) at the times and in the amounts agreed by the Borrower.

(c) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.08 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay on the Maturity Date to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan. The Borrower shall repay to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least five Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type of each Loan made and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to this Section shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms or cause the Borrower’s obligations to be greater than they would have been absent such failure or error.

(c) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it to the Borrower be evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.09 Interest on Loans. (a) Subject to Section 2.10, the Loans comprising each Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate. Accrued interest on each Eurodollar Revolving Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan. Each Reference Bank agrees upon the request of the Administrative Agent to furnish to the Administrative Agent timely information for the purpose of determining the LIBO Rate and the Adjusted LIBO Rate. If any one or more of the Reference Banks shall not furnish such timely information to the Administrative Agent for the purpose of determining any such interest rate, the Administrative Agent shall determine such interest rate on the basis of timely information furnished by the remaining Reference Banks, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(b) Subject to Section 2.10, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. Accrued interest on each ABR Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan. The Alternate Base Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.10 Default Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (a) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under clause (b) of Article VII with respect to any Loan, the Borrower shall pay interest on the overdue principal amount of such Loan, payable in arrears on the dates referred to in Section 2.09, at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Revolving Loan and such Swingline Loan pursuant to Section 2.09(a) or (b), as applicable, and (b) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower shall pay interest on the amount of any interest, fee or other amount payable hereunder (other than the principal of any Revolving Loan) that is not paid when due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in full and on demand, at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be) equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on ABR Loans pursuant to Section 2.09(b).

SECTION 2.11 Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing the Administrative Agent shall have determined that dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Eurodollar Revolving Loans comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market, or that the rates at which such dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining its Eurodollar Revolving Loan during such Interest Period, or that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or fax notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination, until the Administrative Agent shall have advised the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.04 shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing. In the event of any such determination, the Lenders shall negotiate with the Borrower, at its request, as to the interest rate which the Loans comprising such an ABR Borrowing shall bear; provided that such Loans shall bear interest as provided in Section 2.09(b) pending the execution by the Borrower and each Lender of a written agreement providing for a different interest rate. Each determination by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.12 Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

(b) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable written or fax notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or

from time to time in part permanently reduce, without penalty but subject to Section 2.17, the Total Commitment; provided that (i) each partial reduction of the Total Commitment shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 and (ii) no such termination or reduction shall be made if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.14, the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures of all the Lenders would exceed the Total Commitment.

(c) Each reduction in the Total Commitment under this Section 2.12 shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, on the date of each termination or reduction of the Total Commitment under this Section 2.12, the Commitment Fees on the amount of the Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued through the date of such termination or reduction.

SECTION 2.13 Extension of Maturity Date. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Borrower may, by delivery of a Maturity Date Extension Request to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders) request that Lenders extend the Maturity Date as it applies to their respective Commitments for an additional period as specified in such Maturity Date Extension Request on the terms provided for therein (which terms shall not include any change to the Applicable Rate for the period prior to the Existing Maturity Date (as defined below) but may provide for fees payable to the extending Lenders prior thereto in consideration of their agreement to so extend the Maturity Date). Each Lender shall, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in accordance with procedures and timing reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrower, advise the Borrower and the Administrative Agent whether or not it agrees to the requested extension (each Lender agreeing to a requested extension being called a “Consenting Lender”, and each Lender declining to agree to a requested extension being called a “Declining Lender”). Any Lender that has not so advised the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such day shall be deemed to have declined to agree to such extension and shall be a Declining Lender. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Maturity Date shall, as to the Consenting Lenders, and subject to such conditions as may be specified in such Maturity Date Extension Request, be extended to the date specified in such Maturity Date Extension Request. The decision to agree or withhold agreement to any Maturity Date Extension Request shall be at the sole discretion of each Lender. The Commitment of any Declining Lender shall terminate on the Maturity Date in effect prior to giving effect to any such extension (such Maturity Date being called the “Existing Maturity Date”). The principal amount of any outstanding Loans made by Declining Lenders, together with any accrued interest thereon and any accrued fees and other amounts payable to or for the account of such Declining Lenders hereunder, shall be due and payable on the Existing Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the Borrower shall have the right, pursuant to Section 2.22, at any time prior to the Existing Maturity Date, to replace a Declining Lender with a Lender or other financial institution that will agree to the applicable Maturity Date Extension Request, and any such replacement Lender shall for all purposes constitute a Consenting Lender.

SECTION 2.14 Prepayment. (a) The Borrower shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to prepay any Revolving Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon giving written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) to the

Administrative Agent prior to (i) 1:00 p.m., New York City time, two Business Days prior to the date of prepayment, in the case of Eurodollar Revolving Loans, and (ii) before 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day of the date of prepayment, in the case of ABR Loans; provided that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount which is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than (A) $5,000,000 in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing and (B) $1,000,000 in the case of an ABR Borrowing or, if less, the aggregate principal amount of such Revolving Borrowing.

(b) In the event and on each occasion that the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures of all the Lenders exceeds, on any day, the Total Commitment (including as a result of any reduction in the Total Commitment pursuant to Section 2.12), the Borrower shall, on such day, (i) prepay Revolving Borrowings in an amount equal to the lesser of the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Borrowings then outstanding and the amount of such excess. In the event of a termination of all of the Commitments, the Borrower shall repay or prepay all the outstanding Loans on the date of such termination.

(c) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Revolving Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Revolving Borrowing (or portion thereof) by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein. All prepayments under this Section shall be subject to Section 2.17, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty. All prepayments under this Section shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of payment.

SECTION 2.15 Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any Lender shall have determined that the applicability of any law, rule, request, regulation, directive or guideline promulgated and adopted pursuant to or arising out of the July 2010 report of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (Basel III) or the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued, or if after the Closing Date any change in applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law) shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender of the principal of or interest on any Eurodollar Revolving Loan made by such Lender or any Fees or other amounts payable hereunder (other than changes in respect of Taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Lender by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal or applicable lending office or by any political subdivision or taxing authority therein), or shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by such Lender (except any such reserve requirement which is reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate), or shall impose on such Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or any Eurodollar Revolving Loan made by such Lender, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the direct cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Revolving Loan or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material, then the Borrower will pay to such Lender upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the applicability of any law, rule, request, regulation, directive or guideline promulgated and adopted pursuant to or arising out of the July 2010 report of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (Basel III) or the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued, or the adoption after the Closing Date of any other law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any of the foregoing or in the interpretation or administration of any of the foregoing by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or any lending office of such Lender) or any Lender’s holding company with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such applicability, adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Failure on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand compensation with respect to such period or any other period. The protection of this Section shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed.

SECTION 2.16 Change in Legality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Revolving Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Revolving Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, such Lender may:

(i) declare that Eurodollar Revolving Loans will not thereafter be made by such Lender hereunder and any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and

(ii) require that all outstanding Eurodollar Revolving Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Revolving Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below.

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under clause (i) or (ii) above, and (x) all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Revolving Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Revolving Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Revolving Loans and (y) such Lender shall negotiate with the Borrower, at its request, as to the interest rate which such ABR Loans shall bear; provided that such Loans shall bear interest as provided in Section 2.09(b) pending the execution by the Borrower and such Lender of a written agreement providing for a different interest rate.

(b) For purposes of this Section, a notice to the Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Revolving Loan, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently applicable to such Eurodollar Revolving Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower.

SECTION 2.17 Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss (other than loss of profits) or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any failure by the Borrower to fulfill on the date of any borrowing hereunder the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, (b) any failure by the Borrower to borrow or to refinance or continue any Loan hereunder, for any reason other than a default by such Lender, after irrevocable notice of such borrowing, refinancing or continuation has been given pursuant to Section 2.04, 2.05 or 2.06, (c) any payment, prepayment or conversion of a Eurodollar Revolving Loan required by any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise made or deemed made on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of the occurrence of any Event of Default) or (d) any default in payment or prepayment by the Borrower of the principal amount of any Loan or any part thereof or interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at the due date thereof, whether by scheduled maturity, acceleration, irrevocable notice of prepayment or otherwise), including, in each such case, any loss (other than loss of profits) or reasonable expense sustained or incurred or to be sustained or incurred in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain such Loan or any part thereof as a Eurodollar Revolving Loan. Such loss or reasonable expense shall include an amount equal to the excess, if any, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining the funds for the Loan being paid, prepaid, converted or not borrowed (assumed to be the Adjusted LIBO Rate) for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment or failure to borrow to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the Interest Period for such Loan which would have commenced on the date of such failure) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would be realized by such Lender in reemploying the funds so paid, prepaid or not borrowed for such period or Interest Period, as the case may be. This Section 2.17 shall not apply with respect to Taxes, other than Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

SECTION 2.18 Pro Rata Treatment. Except as required under Section 2.13, Section 2.16 or Section 2.24, each Revolving Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Revolving Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Revolving Loans, each payment of the Commitment Fees, each reduction of the Commitments and each refinancing of any Borrowing with a Revolving Borrowing of any Type, shall be allocated pro rata among the

Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Revolving Loans). For purposes of determining the available Commitments of the Lenders at any time, each outstanding Swingline Loan shall be deemed to have utilized the Commitments of the Lenders (including those Lenders that shall not have made Swingline Loans) pro rata in accordance with such respective Commitments, except as set forth in Section 2.07(a). Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount.

SECTION 2.19 Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Revolving Loan or Loans or participations in Swingline Loans as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of the Revolving Loans or participations in Swingline Loans of such Lender shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Revolving Loans or participations in Swingline Loans of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Revolving Loans and participations in Swingline Loans of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans and participations in the Revolving Loans and participations in Swingline Loans held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans and participations in Swingline Loans then outstanding as the principal amount of its Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Revolving Loans and participations in Swingline Loans outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that, if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Revolving Loan or Swingline Loan directly to the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.20 Payments. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts but excluding principal and interest on Swingline Loans, which shall be paid directly to the Swingline Lender except as provided in Section 2.05(c)) hereunder and under any other Loan Document not later than prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office, in dollars and in immediately available funds.

(b) Whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable.

SECTION 2.21 Taxes. (a) Each payment by or on behalf of either Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without withholding for any Taxes, unless such withholding is required by any law, as modified by the practice then in effect of any Governmental Authority. If any Withholding Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it is so required to withhold Taxes, then such Withholding Agent may so withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. To the extent that such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, then the amount payable by or on behalf of the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that, net of such withholding (including such withholding applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.21), the applicable Recipient receives the amount it would have received had no such withholding been made.

(b) The Loan Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Within 30 days after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.01 the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d) The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes payable by such Recipient with respect to any Loan Document or any payment by or on behalf of such Loan Party under any Loan Document (including amounts payable under this Section 2.21) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this paragraph (d) shall be paid within 30 days after the date the Recipient delivers to the applicable Loan Party a certificate stating the amount of Indemnified Taxes so payable by such Recipient. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so payable absent manifest error. Such Recipient shall deliver a copy of such certificate to the Administrative Agent.

(e) The Lenders shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for the full amount of any Excluded Taxes payable by the Administrative Agent with respect to any Loan Document or any payment by or on behalf of either Loan Party under any Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Excluded Taxes were correctly imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority, except to the extent that any such amount or payment is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Administrative Agent. The indemnity under this paragraph (e) shall be paid within 30 days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate

stating the amount of Excluded Taxes so payable by the Administrative Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so payable absent manifest error.

(f) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, any applicable withholding Tax with respect to payments under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding. In addition, any Lender shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.21(f)(ii) and (iii)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, any Lender shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.21. If any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form or certificate if it is legally eligible to do so.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Borrower is a U.S. Person, any Lender with respect to the Borrower shall, if it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies reasonably requested by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party hereto (or, in the case of a participation holder, on or before the date such participation is effective hereunder) and on or before the date, if any, such Lender changes its applicable lending office by designating a new lending office, duly completed and executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) in the case of a Lender that is a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;

(B) in the case of a Lender (other than a U.S. Person) claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (1) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (2) with respect to all other payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(C) in the case of a Lender (other than a U.S. Person) for whom payments under any Loan Document constitute income that is effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States, IRS Form W¬8ECI;

(D) in the case of a Lender (other than a U.S. Person) claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code both (1) IRS Form W-8BEN and (2) a certificate to the effect that such Lender is not (a) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (b) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, (c) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (d) conducting a trade or business in the United States with which the relevant interest payments are effectively connected;

(E) in the case of a Lender (other than a U.S. Person) that either is not the beneficial owner of payments made under any Loan Document (including a participating Lender) or is a partnership (1) an IRS Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (2) the relevant forms prescribed in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (F) of this paragraph (f)(ii) that would be required of each such beneficial owner or partner of such partnership if such beneficial owner or partner were a Lender; provided, however, that if the Lender is a partnership and one or more of its partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Lender may provide the certificate described in clause (D)(2) of this paragraph (f)(ii) on behalf of such partners; or

(F) any other form prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax together with such supplementary documentation necessary to enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the amount of Tax (if any) required by law to be withheld.

(iii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For purposes of this Section 2.21(f)(iii), FATCA shall include any regulations or official interpretations thereof.

(g) If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.21 (including additional amounts paid by either Loan Party pursuant to this Section 2.21), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.21 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of such Recipient and

without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such Recipient, shall repay to such Recipient the amount paid to such Recipient pursuant to the previous sentence (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will any Recipient be required to pay any amount to either Loan Party pursuant to this paragraph (g) if such payment would place such Recipient in a less favorable position (on a net after-Tax basis) than such Recipient would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph (g) shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to either Loan Party or any other Person.

(h) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement contained herein, the agreements and obligations contained in this Section 2.21 shall survive termination of the Loan Documents and payment of any obligations thereunder.

SECTION 2.22 Termination or Assignment of Commitments under Certain Circumstances. In the event that (a) any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, (b) any Lender shall have delivered a notice or certificate pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.16, (c) the Borrower shall be required to make additional payments to any Lender under Section 2.21, or (d) a Lender shall become a Non-Consenting Lender (as defined below), the Borrower shall have the right, at its own expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, to require such Lender to transfer and assign without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04) all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee which shall assume such obligations; provided that (i) no such termination or assignment shall conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any Governmental Authority, (ii) the Borrower or such assignee, as the case may be, shall pay to the affected Lender in immediately available funds on the date of such termination or assignment the principal of and interest accrued to the date of payment on the Loans made by it hereunder and all other amounts accrued for its account or owed to it hereunder, (iii) if such assignee is not a Lender, the Administrative Agent shall have given its prior written consent to such replacement (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld) and the Borrower or such financial institution shall have paid a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 to the Administrative Agent, (iv) in the case of any assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.21, such assignment will result in a reduction of such compensation or payments thereafter and (v) the Swingline Lender shall have consented in writing to such assignment (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld). A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

In the event that (i) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested the Lenders to consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or to agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of all affected Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 9.08 and (iii) the

Required Lenders have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender.”

SECTION 2.23 Lending Offices and Lender Certificates; Survival of Indemnity. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate lending office with respect to its Eurodollar Revolving Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Section 2.15 or to avoid the unavailability of Eurodollar Revolving Loans under Section 2.11 or 2.16, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender. A good faith certificate of a Lender setting forth a reasonable basis of computation and allocation of the amount due under Section 2.15 or 2.17 shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error. The amount specified in any such certificate shall be payable on demand after receipt by the Borrower of such certificate. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 2.15, 2.17, 2.21 and 9.05 shall survive the payment of all amounts due under any Loan Document and the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.24 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) Commitment Fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.07(a);

(b) the Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.08); provided that (i) such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment may not be increased or extended without its consent and (ii) the principal amount of, or interest or fees payable on, Loans may not be reduced or excused and the scheduled date of payment may not be postponed as to such Defaulting Lender without such Defaulting Lender’s consent;

(i) all or any part of the Swingline Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages but only to the extent that the aggregate amount of each non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure does not exceed its Commitment; and

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within three Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent prepay such Swingline Exposure; and

(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders, and participating interests in

any newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

If the Swingline Lender has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan unless the Swingline Lender shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to the Swingline Lender, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

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

SECTION 2.25 Commitment Increases.(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to (i) request an increase in the Commitments of any Lenders (“Commitment Increase”) and/or (ii) add Commitments of one or more other lenders or financial institutions or other entities that will become Lenders (each, an “Additional Commitment Lender”), subject to the consent of each such Lender that is increasing its Commitment or is an Additional Commitment Lender, as applicable, provided that after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of the Total Commitment shall not exceed $300,000,000. No Lender shall have any obligation to participate in any increase described in this paragraph unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion.

(b) With respect to a Commitment Increase pursuant to clause (a)(i) above, the Borrower shall provide a supplement substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 hereto (each, an “Increase Supplement”) specifying the amount of such Commitment Increase and the applicable Commitment Increase closing date, executed by each increasing Lender and the Borrower, which shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent for recording in the Register.

(c) With respect to an addition of one or more Additional Commitment Lenders pursuant to clause (a)(ii) above, (i) each such Additional Commitment Lender and the Borrower shall execute and provide a New Lender Supplement (each, a “New Lender Supplement”) substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 hereto, specifying, among other things, the Commitment amount and the applicable Commitment closing date, with the approval of the Administrative Agent (such approval, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such Additional Commitment Lender shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.

(d) Upon the effectiveness of the Increase Supplement or the New Lender Supplement, as the case may be, outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and/or participations in outstanding Swingline Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility shall be reallocated (and the

increasing Lenders or joining Additional Commitment Lenders, as applicable, shall make appropriate payments representing principal, with the Borrower making any necessary payments of accrued interest and other accrued amounts) so that after giving effect thereto the increasing Lenders or the joining Additional Commitment Lenders, as the case may be, and the other Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility share ratably in the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures thereunder in accordance with the applicable Commitments.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

SECTION 3.01 Corporate Existence and Standing. The Borrower and each Subsidiary is duly organized, validly existing and, where such concept exists in the relevant jurisdiction of organization, in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and has all requisite authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted where the failure to have such authority would have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.02 Authorization and Validity. Each Loan Party has the corporate or other organizational, as applicable, power and authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder (collectively, the “Transactions”). The Transactions have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action, and if required, stockholder or other equity holder action, as applicable. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and constitutes, and each other Loan Document to which either Loan Party is to be a party, when executed and delivered by such Loan Party, will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower or the Guarantors, enforceable against the Borrower or the Guarantors in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

SECTION 3.03 No Conflict; Governmental Consent. None of the Transactions will violate (i) any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on the Borrower or any Subsidiary or (ii) the Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s articles or certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents or (iii) the provisions of any indenture, instrument or agreement to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is a party or is subject, or by which it, or its property, is bound, or conflict therewith or constitute a default thereunder, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien in, of or on the property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, instrument or agreement. No order, consent, approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof (other than those which have been obtained or waived), is required to authorize, or is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of, or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of, any of the Loan Documents.

SECTION 3.04 Compliance with Laws; Environmental and Safety Matters. (a) The Borrower and each Subsidiary, to the best knowledge and belief of the Borrower, has complied with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, orders and restrictions of any domestic or foreign government, or any instrumentality or agency thereof, having jurisdiction over the conduct of their respective businesses or the ownership of their respective properties, in each case, except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) The Borrower and each Subsidiary has complied in all respects with all applicable Federal, state, local and other statutes, ordinances, orders, judgments, rulings and regulations relating to environmental pollution or to environmental regulation or control or to employee health or safety, in each case except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate or individually, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has received notice of any material failure so to comply which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower’s and the Subsidiaries’ facilities do not manage any hazardous wastes, hazardous substances, hazardous materials, toxic substances, toxic pollutants or substances similarly denominated, as those terms or similar terms are used in the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, the Toxic Substance Control Act, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act or any other applicable law relating to environmental pollution or employee health and safety, in violation in any material respect of any law or any regulations promulgated pursuant thereto. The Borrower is aware of no events, conditions or circumstances involving environmental pollution or contamination or employee health or safety that could reasonably be expected to result in liability on the part of the Borrower or any Subsidiary which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.05 Financial Statements. The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders its (i) audited consolidated balance sheet and statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows as of the end of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, audited by and accompanied by the opinion of Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm and (ii) unaudited consolidated balance sheet and statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows as of and for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011. The financial statements referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 3.05 were prepared in accordance with GAAP and present fairly in all material respects the financial condition and results of operations of the Borrower and the Consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date and for such period (in the case of unaudited financial statements, subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes). Such balance sheet and the notes thereto, if any, disclose all material liabilities, direct or contingent, of the Borrower and the Consolidated Subsidiaries as of the date thereof.

SECTION 3.06 No Material Adverse Change. Except for any Disclosed Matter, no material adverse change in the business, properties, financial condition or results of operations of the Borrower and the Consolidated Subsidiaries has occurred since December 31, 2010. It is understood that downgrades or negative pronouncements by rating agencies and volatility in the capital markets generally shall not in and of themselves be considered material

adverse changes, but that the antecedents or consequences thereof may constitute such changes (except to the extent the same constitute Disclosed Matters).

SECTION 3.07 Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.07 contains an accurate list of all the significant joint ventures and all the Subsidiaries, in each case on and as of the Closing Date, setting forth their respective jurisdictions of organization and the percentage of their respective ownership interests held by the Borrower or other Subsidiaries.

SECTION 3.08 Litigation. Except for any Disclosed Matter, there is no litigation, arbitration, governmental investigation, proceeding or inquiry pending or, to the knowledge of any of their officers, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any Subsidiary that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.09 Material Agreements. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement to which it is a party, which default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.10 [RESERVED].

SECTION 3.11 Investment Company Act. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is an “investment company,” required to register as such under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

SECTION 3.12 Use of Proceeds. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans only for working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, for any purpose that entails a violation of any of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulations U and X.

SECTION 3.13 Taxes. The Borrower and each Subsidiary have filed all United States Federal Tax returns, in the case of the Borrower and each Domestic Subsidiary, and all other Tax returns which are required to be filed and have paid all Taxes due pursuant to said returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Borrower or any such Subsidiary, including all Federal and state withholding Taxes and all Taxes required to be paid pursuant to applicable law, except such Taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been provided or in the case of Tax returns or Taxes (other than Federal Tax returns and Federal taxes) where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and the Consolidated Subsidiaries in respect of any Taxes or other governmental charges are adequate.

SECTION 3.14 Accuracy of Information. Neither the Confidential Information Memorandum nor any of the other reports, financial statements, certificates or other written or formally presented information furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower or the Guarantors to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or

any other Loan Document, included herein or therein or furnished hereunder or thereunder (in each case taken as a whole and as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, as to financial projections, forecasts or estimates, if any, that have been prepared by the Borrower and made available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any potential Lender, the Borrower only represents and warrants that such financial projections, forecasts or estimates have been prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by the management of the Borrower to be reasonable at the time of preparation (it being understood such projections, forecasts and estimates are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Borrower’s control, and that no assurance can be given that the projections, forecasts or estimates will be realized and the variations therefrom may be material).

SECTION 3.15 No Undisclosed Dividend Restrictions. Except for restrictions hereunder, and except for restrictions on the payment of dividends under applicable law, none of the Subsidiaries (other than the Excluded Subsidiary) is subject to any agreement, amendment or covenant that directly or indirectly (through the application of financial covenants or otherwise) restricts the ability of such entity to declare or pay dividends.

SECTION 3.16 No Default. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

ARTICLE VIII

THE AGENT

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the entity named as Administrative Agent in the heading of this Agreement to serve as administrative agent under the Loan Documents, and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or to exercise any discretionary power, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion, could expose the Administrative Agent to liability or be contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08) or in the absence of its own gross negligence, bad faith or wilful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm

receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person (including, if applicable, a Financial Officer of such Person). The Administrative Agent also may rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person (including, if applicable, a Financial Officer or a Responsible Officer of such Person). The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any determination made or action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

The Administrative Agent may perform any of and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of and all their duties and exercise their rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article VIII shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, after consultation with the Borrower, and in the absence of a continuing Event of Default, subject to the Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 or an Affiliate of any such bank, which, in the absence of a continuing Event of Default, shall be subject to the Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld). Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Closing Date.

Each Lender agrees (a) to reimburse the Administrative Agent, on demand, in the amount of its pro rata share (based on its Commitment hereunder or, if the Total Commitment shall be terminated, the percentage it holds of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans and participations in Swingline Loans) of any expenses incurred for the benefit of the Lenders by the Administrative Agent, including counsel fees and compensation of agents and employees paid for services rendered on behalf of the Lenders, which shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrower and (b) to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and any of its Related Parties, on demand, in the amount of such pro rata share, from and against any and all claims for liabilities, Taxes, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it in its capacity as the Administrative Agent or any of them in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by it or any of them under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to the extent the same shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrower; provided that no Lender shall be liable to the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties for any portion of such claim for liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent that such claim is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties. The obligations of the Lenders under this Article VIII shall survive the payment of all amounts due under any Loan Document and the termination of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Person named on the cover page of this Agreement as an Arranger shall have any duties or obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except in its capacity, as applicable, as a Lender), but all such Persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder.

Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto (but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.17, 2.21 and 9.05, as well as to any Fees accrued for its account prior to the effective date of the Assignment and Assumption and not yet paid)).

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) above and, if required, the written consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Assumption and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register.

(e) Each Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent, sell to any Person (other than the Borrower) that shall have represented to such Lender that such Person is not (A) an Affiliate of the Borrower or (B) an investment manager, any investment company or any similar entity that, in each case, is managed or advised by the Borrower or an Affiliate of the Borrower, participations in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (w) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (x) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (y) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and (z) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and, in the absence of a continuing Event of Default, the Borrower, no participation shall be sold to a prospective participant that bears a relationship to the Borrower described in Section 108(e)(4) of the Code; provided, however, that the agreement or instrument pursuant to which such Lender sells a participation may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.08(b). A participant shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.15, 2.17 and 2.21 to the same extent as it were a Lender; provided, however, that a participant shall not be entitled to receive any more than the selling Lender would have received had it not sold the participation except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from an adoption of or change in law, or in the interpretation or applicable thereof, that occurs after the participant acquires the applicable participation.

(ii) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a record of each participant and

the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement.

(f) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 9.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION 9.05 Expenses; Indemnity. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable and invoiced out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates in connection with the arrangement and syndication of the credit facility established hereby, the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby contemplated shall be consummated and except for such costs and expenses incurred after the termination of this Agreement), or incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Loans made hereunder, including the reasonable and invoiced fees, charges and disbursements of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP and, in connection with any such enforcement or protection, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any other counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender (it being agreed that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrower shall be responsible for the fees, charges and disbursements of only one counsel unless, in the good faith judgment of the Administrative Agent, additional counsel shall be required as a result of any conflict of interests). The Borrower further agrees that it shall indemnify the Lenders from and hold them harmless against any documentary Taxes that arise from or are connected to the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender, the Arrangers and each Related Party of any of the foregoing (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable and invoiced counsel fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel selected by the Administrative Agent for all the Indemnitees, such local counsel as the Administrative Agent may in good faith

deem advisable and, in the event the Administrative Agent shall have determined that a conflict of interest makes it inadvisable for a single counsel to represent all the Indemnitees, such additional counsel as may be required by reason of such conflict), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of or in connection with (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and whether initiated against or by any party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Affiliate of any of the foregoing or any third party (and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such claim (whether brought by a Lender or any other Person), liability, loss, damage, cost or expense is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from (x) the gross negligence, bad faith or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) disputes solely among Indemnitees that did not arise out of any act or omission of the Borrower or its Affiliates; it being understood that, notwithstanding the foregoing but solely to the extent such indemnification would not be denied pursuant to clause (x) of this proviso, clause (y) of this proviso shall not limit the Borrower’s indemnification obligations with respect to any Indemnitee acting in its capacity as Administrative Agent or Arranger. Each of the parties hereto also agrees not to assert any claim for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages against either Loan Party, the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing on any theory of liability, arising out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of proceeds of the Loans.

(c) The provisions of this Section shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable on written demand therefor.

SECTION 9.06 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Loan Documents due and payable to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although such deposits or other obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application made pursuant to the terms hereof. The rights of each Lender and each Affiliate under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender and such Affiliate may have.

SECTION 9.07 Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 9.08 Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement or the Subsidiary Guarantee nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on any Loan, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (ii) change or extend the Commitment or decrease or extend the date for payment of the Commitment Fee of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender, (iii) amend or modify the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” without the prior written consent of each Lender or (iv) release any Guarantor from the Subsidiary Guarantee, or limit its liability in respect of the Subsidiary Guarantee, in any case without the prior written consent of the Two-Thirds Lenders; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent if (A) by the terms of such agreement the Commitment of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided for therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment and (B) at the time such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives payment in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement; provided that the Borrower may prevent any such amendment from becoming effective by a notice delivered to the Administrative Agent at any time prior to such effectiveness, in which case the Commitments of the non-consenting Lenders will not terminate and their Loans will not be required to be repaid. Each Lender shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by this Section and any consent by any Lender pursuant to this Section shall bind any Person subsequently acquiring a Loan from it.

SECTION 9.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the applicable interest rate, together with all fees and charges which are treated as interest under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), as provided for herein or in any other document executed in connection herewith, or otherwise contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by any Lender, shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by such Lender in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable on the Loans made by such Lender, together with all Charges payable to such Lender, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate.

SECTION 9.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 9.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 9.12 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 9.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one contract.

SECTION 9.14 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.15 Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(b) Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 9.16 Confidentiality; Material Non-Public Information. (a) Each Lender agrees to keep confidential and not to disclose (and to cause its officers, directors, employees, agents, Affiliates and representatives to keep confidential and not to disclose) all Information (as defined below), except that such Lender shall be permitted to disclose Information (i) on a confidential basis, to such of its officers, directors, employees, advisors, agents, Affiliates and representatives as need to know such Information in connection with the servicing and protection of its interests in respect of its Loans and Commitments, the Loan Documents and the Transactions; (ii) to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process or requested by any Governmental Authority having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender (in which case, except in connection with regulatory examinations or audits or as otherwise requested by regulatory authorities, such Lender agrees to inform the Borrower promptly thereof to the extent legally permissible); (iii) to any other party to this Agreement for purposes directly related to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (iv) in connection with any suit or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (v) subject to an agreement containing confidentiality undertakings substantially similar to those of this Section, to (A) any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its Related Parties) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary and its obligations; (vi) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach by such Lender of this Agreement, (B) is generated by such Lender or becomes available to such Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or its Affiliates or the Administrative Agent, or (C) was available to such Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to its

disclosure to such Lender by the Borrower or its Affiliates or the Administrative Agent; or (vii) to the extent the Borrower shall have consented to such disclosure in writing. As used in this Section, “Information” shall mean the Confidential Memorandum and any other confidential materials, documents and information relating to the Borrower that the Borrower or any of its Affiliates may have furnished or made available or may hereafter furnish or make available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with this Agreement.

(b) Each Lender acknowledges that Information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement may include material non—public information concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates or the Borrower’s securities, and confirms that it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and that it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with those procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.

(c) All information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to, or in the course of administering, this Agreement will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its Affiliates or the Borrower’s securities. Accordingly, each Lender represents to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain material non-public information in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.

(d) Each Transferee shall be deemed, by accepting any assignment or participation hereunder, to have agreed to be bound by this Section.

SECTION 9.17 Electronic Communications. (a) The Borrower hereby agrees that, unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, it will provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Agent pursuant to Section 5.04(a), (b), (c), (f), (g), (h), (i), and (j) (the “Communications”) by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium (provided such Communications contain any required signatures) in a format reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent to one or more e-mail addresses as shall be designated by the Administrative Agent from time to time; provided that any delay or failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 9.17(a) shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default hereunder.

(b) Each party hereto agrees that the Administrative Agent may make the Communications available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on IntraLinks or another relevant website, if any, to which each Lender and the Administrative Agent have access (whether a commercial, third-party website or whether sponsored by the Administrative Agent) (the “Platform”). Nothing in this Section shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent to make the Communications available to the Lenders in any other manner specified in the Loan Documents.

(c) Each Lender agrees that e-mail notice to it (at the address provided pursuant to the next sentence and deemed delivered as provided in the next paragraph) specifying

that Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Lender 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.

(d) Each party hereto agrees that any electronic communication referred to in this Section shall be deemed delivered upon the posting of a record of such communication (properly addressed to such party at the e-mail address provided to the Administrative Agent) as “sent” in the e-mail system of the sending party or, in the case of any such communication to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, upon the posting of a record of such communication as “received” in the e-mail system of the Administrative Agent or any Lender; provided that if such communication is not so received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender during the normal business hours of the Administrative Agent or applicable Lender, such communication shall be deemed delivered at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the Administrative Agent or applicable Lender.

(e) Each party hereto acknowledges that (i) the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (ii) the Communications and the Platform are provided “as is” and “as available,” (iii) none of the Administrative Agent, its Affiliates or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “JPMorgan Parties”) warrants the adequacy of the Platform or the accuracy or completeness of the Communications or the Platform, and each JPMorgan Party expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in any Communications or the Platform, and (iv) no warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including 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 any JPMorgan Party in connection with any Communications or the Platform.

SECTION 9.18 Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act it is required 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 to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

SECTION 9.19 No Fiduciary Relationship. The Borrower, on behalf of itself and the Subsidiaries, agrees that in connection with all aspects of the Transactions and any communications in connection therewith, the Borrower, the Subsidiaries and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.
