(i) On any Business Day, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, advise the Administrative Agent to give notice to the Lenders that the Swingline Lender’s outstanding Swingline Loans shall be funded with one or more borrowings of Revolving Credit Loans made to the Company and denominated in Dollars (provided that such notice shall be deemed to have been automatically given with respect to outstanding Swingline Loans upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under

Section 11.1(i) or (j)), in which case one or more borrowings of Revolving Credit Loans constituting Base Rate Loans (each such Borrowing, a “Mandatory Borrowing”) shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day by all Lenders in accordance with each Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage and the proceeds thereof shall be applied directly by the Administrative Agent to repay the Swingline Lender for such outstanding Swingline Loans. Each Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make Revolving Credit Loans to the Company upon one Business Day’s notice pursuant to each Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the date specified in writing by the Administrative Agent notwithstanding (A) the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the minimum borrowing amount otherwise required hereunder, (B) whether any conditions specified in Section 5.2 are then satisfied, (C) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (D) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing and (E) whether the Revolving Credit Loans comprising the Mandatory Borrowing would, when combined with the sum of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, outstanding L/C Obligations and the aggregate principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans, exceed the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment at such time (so long as outstanding Swingline Loans do not exceed the Swingline Maximum). In the event that any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event with respect to any Borrower), then each Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from the respective Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Swingline Lender such participations in the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause the Lenders to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages, provided that (x) all interest payable on the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date as of which the respective participation is required to be purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased participation, shall be payable to the participant from and after such date and (y) at the time any purchase of participations pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing Lender shall be required to pay the Swingline Lender interest on the principal amount of participations purchased for each day from and including the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such participation, at the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder for each day thereafter.

(ii) To the extent amounts received from the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.6(b)(i) above are not sufficient to repay in full the outstanding Swingline Loans requested or required to be repaid, the Company agrees to pay to the Swingline Lender on demand the amount required to repay such Swingline Loans in full. In addition, the Company hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to charge any account maintained by the Company with the Swingline Lender (up to the amount available therein) in order to immediately pay the Swingline Lender the amount of such Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from the Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full the outstanding Swingline Loans requested or required to be repaid. If any portion of any

such amount paid to the Swingline Lender shall be recovered by or on behalf of the Company from the Swingline Lender in bankruptcy or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages.

(c) Amount of Each Swingline Borrowing. Each Swingline Loan shall be made in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $l00,000 in excess thereof.

(d) Notice of Borrowing.

(i) The Company shall give the Swingline Lender irrevocable prior written notice (a “Notice of Swingline Borrowing”) substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B-2 no later than 11:30 a.m. (Atlanta time) on the same Business Day as each Base Rate Loan of its intention to borrow, specifying (A) the date of such borrowing, which shall be a Business Day, and (B) the amount of such borrowing, which shall be in an amount equal to the unused amount of the Swingline Maximum or less. Notices received after 11:30 a.m. (Atlanta time) shall be deemed received on the next Business Day.

(ii) Mandatory Borrowings shall be made upon the notice specified in Section 2.6(b), with the Company irrevocably agreeing, by its incurrence of any Swingline Loan, to the making of the Mandatory Borrowings as set forth in Section 2.6(b).

(e) Disbursement of Funds. Not later than 2:00 p.m. (Atlanta time) on the proposed borrowing date, the Swingline Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Company, at the office of the Administrative Agent in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent, the amount of the Swingline Loan to be made on such borrowing date. In the case of Mandatory Borrowings, no later than 2:00 p.m. (Atlanta time) on the date specified in Section 2.6(b), each Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Company, at the office of the Administrative Agent in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of Mandatory Borrowings to be made on such borrowing date. The Company hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of each borrowing requested pursuant to this Section 2.6 in immediately available funds by crediting or wiring such proceeds to the deposit account of the Company identified in the most recent Notice of Account Designation or as may be otherwise agreed upon by the Company and the Administrative Agent from time to time or, in the case of Mandatory Borrowings, in the manner specified in Section 2.6(b)(i). Subject to Section 4.7 hereof, the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to disburse the proceeds of any Swingline Loan requested pursuant to this Section 2.6 to the extent that the Swingline Lender has not made available to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Swingline Loan.

(f) Notes. The Swingline Lender’s Swingline Loans shall be evidenced by such Lender’s respective Revolving Credit Notes issued by the Company.

(g) Usage Under Revolving Credit Commitments. While any Swingline Loan is outstanding, the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Lender shall be deemed used for all purposes by an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on its respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage) of the principal amount of such Swingline Loan.

(h) Notice to the Administrative Agent. The Swingline Lender shall promptly give notice to the Administrative Agent of all Swingline Loans made hereunder, and all repayments of such Swingline Loans.

SECTION 2.7 Commitment Reductions and Increases.

(a) Voluntary Reduction. The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time, upon at least four (4) Business Days’ prior written notice by the Company to the Administrative Agent, to permanently reduce, without premium or penalty (except as provided below), either (i) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment at any time or (ii) portions of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment from time to time, in an aggregate principal Dollar Equivalent amount not less than $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

(b) Payments Related to a Commitment Reduction.

Each permanent reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment made pursuant to this Section 2.7 or otherwise shall be accompanied, if necessary, by a payment of principal sufficient to reduce the aggregate outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans and L/C Obligations, as applicable, to the amount of the new Revolving Credit Commitment after such reduction to the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment and, if the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment as so reduced is less than the aggregate amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, the Borrowers shall be required to deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the amount by which the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment as so reduced. Such cash collateral shall be applied in accordance with Section 11.2(b). Any permanent reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment to zero (including upon termination of the Revolving Credit Facility on the Termination Date) shall be accompanied by payment of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans (and furnishing of cash collateral satisfactory to the Administrative Agent for all L/C Obligations) and shall result in the termination of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment. If the reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment requires the repayment of any Offshore Rate Loan, such repayment shall be accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 4.9 hereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment may not be permanently reduced by such an amount so that after such reduction, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment is less than the aggregate amount of all unpaid principal of and interest on outstanding Competitive Bid Loans.

SECTION 2.8 Termination of Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility shall terminate on the earliest of (a) the Maturity Date, (b) the date of termination of the

Revolving Credit Commitment by the Company pursuant to Section 2.7(a), and (c) the date of termination by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders pursuant to Section 11.2(a).

SECTION 2.9 Utilization of Revolving Commitments in Offshore Currencies.

(a) The Administrative Agent will determine the Dollar Equivalent amount with respect to any (i) Revolving Credit Loan or Competitive Bid Loan that is an Offshore Currency Loan as of the requested borrowing date and as of any requested continuation date, (ii) outstanding Offshore Currency Loan, as of each Interest Payment Date relating to such Loan and (iii) Letters of Credit denominated in an Offshore Currency, as of the requested issuance date and the first Business Day of each calendar month, and, during the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, such other dates as may be requested by the Required Lenders (but in no event more frequently than once a week) (each such date under clause (i), (ii) and (iii), a “Determination Date”).

(b) The Lenders shall be under no obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans in a requested Offshore Currency if the Administrative Agent has received notice from the Required Lenders by 12:30 p.m. (Atlanta time) two Business Days prior to the date of a requested borrowing of an Offshore Currency Loan that deposits in the relevant Offshore Currency (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to such Lenders in the interbank eurocurrency market for such Interest Period in which event the Administrative Agent will give notice to the Company, on behalf of such Borrower requesting such Offshore Currency Loan, no later than 1:30 p.m. (Atlanta time) on the second Business Day prior to the requested date of such borrowing that the borrowing in the requested Offshore Currency is not then available, and notice thereof will also be given promptly by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Company that any requested Offshore Currency Loan is not then available, the Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing relating to such requested Offshore Currency Loan shall be deemed to be withdrawn, the borrowing requested therein shall not occur and the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify each Lender.

(c) In the case of a proposed continuation of an Offshore Currency Loan for an additional Interest Period pursuant to Section 4.2, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to continue such Offshore Currency Loan if the Administrative Agent has received notice from the Required Lenders by 12:30 p.m. (Atlanta time) two Business Days prior to the requested date of such continuation that deposits in the relevant Offshore Currency (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to such Lenders in the interbank eurocurrency market for such Interest Period in which event the Administrative Agent will give notice to the Company, on behalf of the Borrower requesting such continuation, no later than 1:30 p.m. (Atlanta time) on the second Business Day prior to the requested date of such continuation that the continuation of such Offshore Currency Loan is not then available, and notice thereof will also be given promptly by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Company, on behalf of the Borrower requesting continuation of an Offshore Currency Loan, that the requested continuation is not then available, the Notice of Continuation with respect thereto shall be deemed to be withdrawn and such Offshore Currency Loan shall be repaid on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during the existence of a payment Default or an Event of Default, and at the request of the Required Lenders (or, in the case of a Competitive Bid Loan made in an Offshore Currency, the Lender that has made such Loan), all or any part of outstanding Offshore Currency Loans shall be redenominated and converted into their Dollar Equivalent of Base Rate Loans in Dollars on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to any such Offshore Currency Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of any such redenomination and conversion request.

(e) The Company shall be entitled to request that Revolving Credit Loans hereunder also be permitted to be made to a Borrower in any other lawful currency (other than Dollars), in addition to the currencies specified in the definition of “Offshore Currency” in Section 1.1, that in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and all of the Lenders is at such time freely traded in the offshore interbank foreign exchange markets, freely transferable and freely convertible into Dollars and readily utilized for the settlement of private international debt transactions (an “Agreed Alternative Currency”). The Company shall deliver in writing to the Administrative Agent any request for designation of an Agreed Alternative Currency in accordance with Section 13.1, to be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (Atlanta time) at least 10 Business Days in advance of the date of any borrowing hereunder proposed to be made in such Agreed Alternative Currency. Upon receipt of any such request the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders thereof, and each Lender will use its commercially reasonable efforts to respond to such request within five (5) Business Days of receipt thereof. Each Lender may grant or accept such request in its sole discretion. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company of the acceptance or rejection of any such request.

SECTION 2.10 Designated Borrowers.

(a) Addition of Designated Borrower. Equifax Plc constitutes a Designated Borrower as of the Closing Date. The Company may request designation of any of its other Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries (an “Applicant Borrower”) as a Designated Borrower hereunder by delivery of such a request to the Administrative Agent together with an executed copy of a Borrower Joinder Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such request together with a copy of the Borrower Joinder Agreement executed by the Applicant Borrower. The joinder of each Applicant Borrower as a designated Borrower will be subject to delivery of executed promissory notes, if any, required in connection therewith, and supporting resolutions, articles of incorporation, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and such other items as the Administrative Agent and/or the Required Lenders may reasonably request and which are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Any such addition of a Designated Borrower shall be effective five Business Days after receipt by the Administrative Agent of the items required by the Administrative Agent and/or the Required Lenders in connection therewith.

(b) Removal of a Designated Borrower. The Company may request that any of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries that is a Designated Borrower hereunder cease to be a Designated Borrower by delivering to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver copies thereof to each Lender) a written notice to such effect. Such Designated Borrower shall cease to be a Borrower hereunder and be released of all of its obligations and liabilities as a Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents on the later to occur of (i) the date the Administrative Agent receives such request and (ii) the date such Borrower has paid all of its Loans and all accrued and unpaid interest, fees and other Obligations owing by it hereunder or in connection herewith.

SECTION 2.11 Limitation on Liability.

Notwithstanding anything in this Article II or in any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, the obligations of the Borrowers (other than the Company) to repay the Lenders for any Loans made available to the Borrowers hereunder are several and not joint and several obligations of the Borrowers. Accordingly, no Borrower (other than the Company) shall be obligated to repay the principal amount of or to pay accrued interest on any Loans made by the Lenders to any other Borrower. Nothing in this section, however, is intended to limit or modify the Company’s guarantee under Article X hereof.

SECTION 2.12 Extension of Maturity Date.

(a) Requests for Extension. The Company may, by notice (each such notice, an “Extension Notice”) to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders) at any time not later than 35 days prior to the Maturity Date then in effect hereunder (the “Existing Maturity Date”) (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day), request that each Lender extend such Lender’s Maturity Date for an additional year from the Existing Maturity Date; provided, however, that the Borrower shall only be permitted to make such a request two times during the life of the Credit Facility. Each Extension Notice shall specify the date (the “Extension Effective Date”) on which the Company requests the applicable extension to become effective.

(b) Lender Elections to Extend. Each Lender, acting in its sole discretion, shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent given not later than the date (the “Notice Date”) that is 15 days after receipt by such Lender of the applicable Extension Notice (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day), advise the Administrative Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension (and each Lender that determines not to so extend its Maturity Date (a “Non-Extending Lender”) shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any event no later than the Notice Date) and any Lender that does not so advise the Administrative Agent on or before the Notice Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender. The election of any Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree.

(c) Notification by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Company of each Lender’s determination under this Section no later than the date 5 days following the applicable Notice Date (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day).

(d) Additional Commitment Lenders. The Company shall have the right, on or before the then applicable Extension Effective Date, to replace each Non-Extending Lender with, and add as “Lenders” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more Eligible Assignees (each, an “Additional Commitment Lender”) as provided in Section 13.9, each of which Additional Commitment Lenders shall have entered into an Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which such Additional Commitment Lenders shall, effective as of such Extension Effective Date, undertake Revolving Credit Commitments (and, if any of such Additional Commitment Lenders is already a Lender, its Revolving Credit Commitment shall be in addition to such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder on such date) in an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of the Non-Extending Lenders being replaced.

(e) Minimum Extension Requirement. If (and only if) the total of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders that have agreed so to extend their Maturity Date and the additional Revolving Credit Commitments of the Additional Commitment Lenders shall be more than 50% of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments in effect immediately prior to the then applicable Extension Effective Date, then, effective as of such Extension Effective Date, the Maturity Date of each Extending Lender and of each Additional Commitment Lender shall be extended to the date falling one year after the Existing Maturity Date and each Additional Commitment Lender shall, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 13.9, become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement.

(f) Conditions to Effectiveness of Extensions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the extension of the Maturity Date pursuant to this Section shall not be effective with respect to any Lender unless:

(i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such extension and after giving effect thereto or would result therefrom;

(ii) the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such extension and after giving effect thereto, as though made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date); and

(iii) on the Maturity Date of each Non-Extending Lender, the Company shall prepay any Loans outstanding on such date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.9) to the extent necessary to keep outstanding Loans ratable with any revised Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages of the respective Lenders as of such date.

SECTION 2.13 Increase in Commitments.

(a) Request for Increase. So long as there exists no Default or Event of Default, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Company may from time to time request an increase in the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment to a total aggregate amount not to exceed $1,000,000,000, less the amount of any permanent reductions in the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments requested by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.7;

provided that any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $100,000,000. The Company (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days nor more than fifteen Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders).

(b) Lender Elections to Increase. Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than or less than its ratable share of such requested increase (based on such Lender’s then existing Revolving Credit Commitment). Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment.

(c) Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and each Lender of the other Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase, and subject to the provisions of this Section 2.13 and the approval of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Company, after the earlier to occur of (i) the Administrative Agent’s receipt of responses to the increase request from each Lender or (ii) ten Business Days after the delivery of such increase request, may invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. No Lender shall be obligated to participate in such increase and shall have the right to accept or decline any request made hereunder in its sole discretion.

(d) Effective Date and Allocations. If the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Company shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company, the Lenders and such additional Eligible Assignees, if any, of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date; provided that if, in the event each Lender has agreed to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment by an amount at least equal to its ratable share of such increase, then the increase to the Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of each Lender shall be on a pro rata basis in accordance with such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment in effect on the Business Day prior to the Increase Effective Date.

(e) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to such increase, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Borrower dated as of the Increase Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of such Borrower (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Borrower approving or consenting to such increase and any other corporate documents deemed reasonably necessary by the Administrative Agent, and (ii) in the case of the Company, certifying that, before and immediately after giving effect to such increase, (A) no Default or Event of Default exists and (B) evidencing (in reasonable detail prepared in good faith and in a manner and using such methodology which is consistent with the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.1), compliance on a Pro Forma Basis (as defined below) with the financial covenant contained in Section 9.1 as of the most recently ended fiscal quarter on a trailing four quarter

basis. The Company shall also deliver opinions in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent of internal and external counsel to the Company, addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, with respect to the Borrowers, the increase and such other matters as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request. The applicable Borrower shall prepay any Loans outstanding on and prior to giving effect to the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.9) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Loans ratable with any revised Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments under Section 2.13.

As used in this clause, the term “Pro Forma Basis” means the following pro forma adjustments made for purposes of determining compliance on a pro forma basis with the maximum Leverage Ratio as required above pursuant to this clause: (x) the Consolidated EBITDA during the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended of (or attributable to) (A) any other Person acquired (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) or disposed of by the Company or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries, or (B) all or substantially all of the business or assets of any other Person or operating division or business unit of any other Person, acquired (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) or disposed of by the Company or one of its Consolidated Subsidiaries (in each case to the extent such acquisition or disposition is permitted under this Agreement), shall be included (in the case of any acquisition) or excluded (in the case of any disposition, so long as the Consolidated EBITDA of or attributable to such Capital Stock, asset, operating division or business unit disposed of, sold or otherwise transferred, exceeds 5% of Consolidated Operating Profit for the immediately preceding Fiscal Year), as applicable, in determining Consolidated EBITDA of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, provided further that such acquisition is or will be funded in whole or in part with the proceeds of any Loans contemplated to be made after giving effect to such requested increase in the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.13 (such Loans referred to herein as the “Subject Loans”), and (y) the principal amount of Debt in respect of any Subject Loans incurred or to be incurred by any Borrower, together with the aggregate amount of Debt assumed or otherwise continued in connection with any such acquisition (but only to the extent such Debt would constitute Consolidated Funded Debt following consummation of such acquisition), shall be included in determining Consolidated Funded Debt of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, in each case as if such transaction had been consummated on the first day of such period, and based on historical actual results accounted for in accordance with GAAP.

(a) Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants, a letter of credit fee (the “L/C Fee”) with respect to each Letter of Credit requested by the Company on behalf of such Borrower and issued by such Issuing Lender in an amount equal to the Applicable Percentage for L/C Fee times the average

daily undrawn amount of such issued Letters of Credit as reported by such Issuing Lender (or the Administrative Agent) pursuant to Section 3.2. Such fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the Closing, and on the Termination Date. Subject to Section 11.3, (x) in the case of any Event of Default under Xxxxxxx 00.0(x), (x), (x)(x), (x), (x), (x), (x), (x), (x) and (o), unless otherwise agreed by the Required Lenders, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of such Event of Default, the L/C Fee shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate then applicable for the L/C Fee, and (y) in the case of any other Event of Default, at the option of the Required Lenders exercised by written notice to the Company, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of such Event of Default, the L/C Fee shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate then applicable for the L/C Fee.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, distribute to each Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants the L/C Fees received by such Issuing Lender in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages.

(c) In addition to the L/C Fees, each Borrower agrees to pay to the relevant Issuing Lender that has issued a Letter of Credit at the request of the Company, on behalf of such Borrower, for such Issuing Lender’s own account without sharing by the other Lenders, (i) a fronting fee of 0.125% per annum on the aggregate stated amount of such Letter of Credit, due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Termination Date, and (ii) the normal issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the relevant Issuing Lender relating to such Letter of Credit as from time to time in effect, due and payable on demand therefor by the relevant Issuing Lender.

SECTION 3.4 L/C Participations.

(a) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce such Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from such Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk, an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage in such Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender upon demand at such Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed.

(b) Upon becoming aware of any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to any Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall notify each L/C Participant of the amount and due date of such required payment and such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender the amount specified on the applicable due date. If

any such amount is paid to such Issuing Lender after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender on demand, in addition to such amount, the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent during the period from and including the date such payment is due to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. With respect to payment to any Issuing Lender of the unreimbursed amounts described in this Section 3.4(b), if the L/C Participants receive notice that any such payment is due (A) prior to 1:00 p.m. (Atlanta time) on any Business Day, such payment shall be due that Business Day, and (B) after 1:00 p.m. (Atlanta time) on any Business Day, such payment shall be due on the following Business Day.

(c) Whenever, at any time after any Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such payment in accordance with this Section 3.4, such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from a Borrower or otherwise, or any payment of interest on account thereof), such Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof in accordance with such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage; provided that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to such Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender to it.

SECTION 3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrowers; Limitation on Liability.

(a) Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrowers. Each Borrower agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender on each date such Issuing Lender notifies the Company, on behalf of such Borrower, of the date and amount of a draft paid under any Letter of Credit requested by the Company, on behalf of such Borrower, for the amount of (i) such draft so paid and (ii) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by any Issuing Lender in connection with such payment. Each such payment shall be made to any Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on any and all amounts remaining unpaid by any Borrower under this Article III from the date such amounts become payable (which date shall be the date such draft is paid, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) until payment in full at the rate which would be payable on any outstanding Base Rate Loans which were then overdue. If any Borrower fails to timely reimburse such Issuing Lender on the date the Company, on behalf of such Borrower, receives the notice referred to in this Section 3.5, such Borrower shall be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.2 to the Administrative Agent requesting the Lenders to make a Base Rate Loan on such date in an amount equal to the amount of such draft paid, together with any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by any Issuing Lender and to be reimbursed pursuant to this Section 3.5 and, regardless of whether or not the conditions precedent specified in Article VI have been satisfied, the Lenders shall make Base Rate Loans in such amount, the proceeds of which shall be applied to reimburse such Issuing Lender for the amount of the related drawing and costs and expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 3.5 shall obligate

the Lenders to make such Base Rate Loans if the making of such Base Rate Loans would violate the automatic stay under federal bankruptcy laws.

(b) Limitation on Liability of Borrowers for Reimbursement Obligations. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.5 or in any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, the obligations of the Borrowers (other than the Company) to reimburse the Lenders for any drawings under any Letters of Credit or for any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by any Issuing Lender in connection with the payment of any drafts by the Issuing Lender with respect to any Letters of Credit are several and not joint and several obligations of the Borrowers. Accordingly, no Borrower (other than the Company) shall be obligated to reimburse the Lenders for any drawings under Letters of Credit that were not requested by such Borrower (or by the Company on behalf of such Borrower), or for any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by any Issuing Lender in connection with the payment of any drafts relating to Letters of Credit that were not requested by such Borrower or by the Company on behalf of such Borrower. The Company shall be jointly and severally liable to reimburse the Lenders for any drawings under any Letters of Credit and for any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by any Issuing Lender in connection with the payment of any drafts by the Issuing Lender with respect to any Letters of Credit.

SECTION 3.6 Obligations Absolute.

Each Borrower’s obligations under this Article III (including without limitation the Reimbursement Obligation) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

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

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

(iv) any payment by the applicable Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for

the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

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

No Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions caused by such Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding on such Borrower and shall not result in any liability of any Issuing Lender to such Borrower. The responsibility of each Issuing Lender to such Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are in conformity with such Letter of Credit. Each Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the applicable Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, such Borrower will promptly notify the applicable Issuing Lender. Each Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the applicable Issuing Lender and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

SECTION 3.7 Effect of L/C Application.

To the extent that any provision of any L/C Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Article III, the provisions of this Article III shall apply.

ARTICLE IV

GENERAL LOAN PROVISIONS

SECTION 4.1 Interest.

(a) Interest Rate Options. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.1, at the election of a Borrower, the aggregate principal balance of any Revolving Credit Loans shall bear interest at (i) the Base Rate or (ii) the Offshore Rate plus the Applicable Percentage for Offshore Rate Loans; provided that (A) such interest rate shall be increased by any amount required pursuant to Section 4.1(f) and (B) Offshore Rate Loans shall not be available until three (3) Business Days after the Closing Date. Such Borrower shall select the rate of interest, Interest Period, if any, and Applicable Currency, in the case of an Offshore Currency Loan, applicable to any Revolving Credit Loan at the time a Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing is given pursuant to Section 2.2, or at the time a Notice of Conversion/Continuation is given pursuant to Section 4.2. Each Revolving Credit Loan, Swingline Loan, or portion thereof bearing interest based on the Base

Rate shall be a “Base Rate Loan,” and each Revolving Credit Loan or portion thereof bearing interest based on the Offshore Rate shall be an “Offshore Rate Loan.” Any Revolving Credit Loan or any portion thereof as to which the Company, on behalf of a Borrower, requesting such Revolving Credit Loan has not duly specified an interest rate as provided herein shall be deemed a Base Rate Loan. A Competitive Bid Loan will bear interest at the Competitive Bid Rate specified in the Competitive Bid accepted by the Borrower with respect to such Competitive Bid Loan. Swingline Loans shall bear interest at the Swingline Rate.

(b) Interest Periods. In connection with each Offshore Rate Loan and each Competitive Bid Loan, the Company, on behalf of a Borrower, by giving notice at the times described in Section 4.1(a), shall elect an interest period (each, an “Interest Period”) to be applicable to such Revolving Credit Loan or such Competitive Bid Loan, which Interest Period shall, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, be a period of one (1), two (2), three (3), or, if available to all Lenders for the requested Available Currency, six (6) months with respect to each Offshore Rate Loan, a period of seven (7) days to 180 days with respect to each Dollar Competitive Bid Loan and a period of seven (7) to sixty (60) days with respect to Offshore Currency Competitive Bid Loans; provided that

(i) the Interest Period shall commence on the date of advance of or conversion to any Offshore Rate Loan and, in the case of immediately successive Interest Periods, each successive Interest Period shall commence on the date on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;

(ii) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided that if any Interest Period with respect to an Offshore Rate Loan would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

(iii) any Interest Period with respect to an Offshore Rate Loan that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period) shall end on the last Business Day of the relevant calendar month at the end of such Interest Period;

(iv) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Termination Date of the facility under which the Loan with respect to which such Interest Period relates was made; and

(v) there shall be no more than twelve (12) Offshore Rate Loans (exclusive of Competitive Bid Loans) outstanding hereunder at any time (it being understood that, for purposes hereof, Offshore Rate Loans with different Interest Periods shall be considered as separate Offshore Rate Loans, even if they begin on the same date, although borrowings, extensions and conversions may, in accordance with the provisions hereof, be combined by a Borrower at the end of existing Interest Periods to constitute a new Offshore Rate Loan with a single Interest Period).

(c) Default Rate, etc. Subject to Section 11.3, (x) in the case of any Event of Default under Xxxxxxx 00.0(x), (x), (x)(x), (x), (x), (x), (x), (x), (x) and (o), unless otherwise agreed by the Required Lenders, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of such Event of Default, (i) the Company, on behalf of the Borrowers, shall no longer have the option to request Offshore Rate Loans, (ii) all outstanding Offshore Rate Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate then applicable to such Offshore Rate Loans until the end of the applicable Interest Period and thereafter at a rate equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans, (iii) all outstanding Base Rate Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans and (iv) each outstanding Competitive Bid Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate then applicable to such Competitive Bid Loan and (y) in the case of any other Event of Default, at the option of the Required Lenders exercised by written notice to the Company, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of such Event of Default, (i) the Company, on behalf of the Borrowers, shall no longer have the option to request Offshore Rate Loans, (ii) all outstanding Offshore Rate Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate then applicable to such Offshore Rate Loans until the end of the applicable Interest Period and thereafter at a rate equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans, (iii) all outstanding Base Rate Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans and (iv) each outstanding Competitive Bid Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate then applicable to such Competitive Bid Loan. To the greatest extent permitted by law, interest shall continue to accrue on the amount of Loans outstanding after the filing by or against a Borrower of any petition seeking any relief in bankruptcy or under any act or law pertaining to insolvency or debtor relief, whether state, federal or foreign.

(d) Interest Payment and Computation. Interest on each Base Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the Closing Date, and interest on each Offshore Rate Loan and each Competitive Bid Loan shall be payable on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto, and if such Interest Period exceeds three (3) months, at the end of each three (3) month interval during such Interest Period. Interest on all Loans and all fees payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and assessed for the actual number of days elapsed; provided that interest on Loans bearing interest at a rate based upon the Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a 365- or 366-day year, as applicable. Interest on each Swingline Loan shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the Closing Date.

(e) Maximum Rate. In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts deemed interest hereunder or under any of the Notes charged or collected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or pursuant to any of the Notes exceed the highest rate permissible under any Applicable Law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that such a court determines that the Lenders have charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the highest applicable rate, the rate in effect hereunder shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law and the Lenders shall at the Administrative Agent’s option (i) promptly refund to the Borrowers any interest received by Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful rate or (ii) shall apply such excess

to the principal balance of the Obligations. It is the intent hereof that the Borrowers not pay or contract to pay, and that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender receive or contract to receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be paid by the Borrowers under Applicable Law.

(f) Mandatory Costs. In the case of a Revolving Credit Loan that is an Offshore Currency Loan, the otherwise applicable interest rate determined pursuant to Section 4.1(a) shall be increased by the Mandatory Cost, if any, of the applicable Lender associated with such Loan, computed in the manner set forth in Schedule 4.1(f) attached hereto.

(g) Determination of Rates. The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder as follows: (i) on the same Business Day of the date of borrowing for each Base Rate Loan and (ii) two (2) Business Days before the date of borrowing of (A) each Offshore Rate Loan denominated in Dollars and (B) each Offshore Currency Loan. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of such rate in writing (or by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing). Any such determination shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

SECTION 4.2 Conversion and Continuation of Revolving Credit Loans.

Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, and subject to the terms of this Agreement, any Borrower shall have the option (a) to convert all or any portion of its outstanding Base Rate Loans in a principal amount equal to $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof into one or more Offshore Rate Loans denominated in Dollars or an Offshore Currency and (b)(i) to convert all or any part of its outstanding Offshore Rate Loans in a principal amount equal to $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof into Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars or (ii) to continue Offshore Rate Loans, whether denominated in Dollars or Offshore Currency Loans, as Offshore Rate Loans in the same currency for an additional Interest Period; provided that if any conversion or continuation is made on a day other than the last day of any Interest Period, such Borrower shall pay any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 4.9 hereof. Whenever a Borrower desires to convert or continue Revolving Credit Loans or Swingline Loans as provided above, the Company, on behalf of such Borrower, shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable prior written notice in the form attached as Exhibit F (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) not later than 11:00 a.m. (Atlanta time) three (3) Business Days before the day on which a proposed conversion or continuation of such Revolving Credit Loan or Swingline Loan is to be effective (except in the case of a conversion of an Offshore Rate Loan denominated in Dollars to a Base Rate Loan, in which case same day notice not later than 11:00 a.m. (Atlanta time) by the Borrower shall be sufficient) specifying (A) the Revolving Credit Loans or Swingline Loans to be converted or continued, the facility under which such Loans were made and, in the case of any Offshore Rate Loan to be converted or continued, the last day of the Interest Period therefor, (B) the effective date of such conversion or continuation (which shall be a Business Day), (C) the principal Dollar Equivalent amount of such Revolving Credit Loans to be converted or continued, (D) the Interest Period to be applicable to such converted or continued Offshore Rate Loan and (E) in the case of any continued Offshore Rate Loan which is an Offshore Currency Loan, the Applicable Currency. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of such Notice of Conversion/Continuation.

SECTION 4.3 Fees.

(a) Facility Fee. The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, a non-refundable facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Percentage for Facility Fee for the Revolving Credit Facility on the average daily amount of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment during the applicable period, regardless of usage. The Facility Fee shall apply to the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the termination of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment and shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter for the immediately preceding calendar quarter (or portion thereof), beginning with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date. Such Facility Fee shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Lenders’ respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage.

(b) Administrative Fees. The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the fees referred to in the Administrative Agent’s Fee Letter.

SECTION 4.4 Manner of Payment.

Each payment by a Borrower on account of the principal of or interest on the Loans or of any fee (including any L/C Fees relating to an Letter of Credit denominated in an Offshore Currency), commission or other amounts (including the Reimbursement Obligation) payable to the Lenders under this Agreement or any Note shall be made on the date specified for payment under this Agreement to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the account of the Lenders (other than as set forth in the next sentence below), in Dollars (other than as set forth below), in immediately available funds and shall be made without any set-off, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever. Payment of principal of, interest on or any other amount relating to any Offshore Currency Loan shall be made in the Offshore Currency in which such Loan is denominated or payable. Such payments, if denominated in Dollars, shall be made no later than 2:00 p.m. (Atlanta time) on the relevant date and, if denominated in an Offshore Currency, by such time as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary for such funds to be credited on such date in accordance with normal banking practices in the place of payment. Any payment denominated in Dollars received after 1:00 p.m. (Atlanta time) but before 2:00 p.m. (Atlanta time) on a due date shall be deemed a payment on such date for the purposes of Section 11.1, but for all other purposes shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Any payment denominated in Dollars received after 2:00 p.m. (Atlanta time), or any payment denominated in an Offshore Currency received after the relevant time determined by the Administrative Agent, shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day for all purposes. Each payment to the Administrative Agent of the L/C Fees shall be made in like manner, but for the account of the Issuing Lenders and the L/C Participants. Each payment to the Administrative Agent of Administrative Agent’s fees or expenses shall be made for the account of the Administrative Agent and any amount payable to any Lender under Section 2.5, 2.6, 4.8, 4.9, 4.10, 4.11 or 13.2 shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Lender to such Lender promptly following receipt thereof and shall wire advice of the amount of such credit to such Lender. Subject to Section 4.l(b)(ii), if any payment under this Agreement or any Note shall be specified

to be made upon a day which is not a Business Day, it shall be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in computing any interest if payable along with such payment.

SECTION 4.5 Crediting of Payments and Proceeds.

In the event that any Borrower shall fail to pay any of the Obligations when due and the Obligations have been accelerated pursuant to Section 11.2, all payments received by the Lenders upon the Notes and the other Obligations and all net proceeds from the enforcement of the Obligations of such Borrower shall be applied first to all expenses then due and payable by such Borrower hereunder, then to all indemnity obligations then due and payable by such Borrower hereunder, then to all Administrative Agent’s fees then due and payable allocable to such Borrower, then to all commitment and other fees and commissions then due and payable allocable to such Borrower, then to accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes issued by such Borrower and L/C Fees owing from such Borrower, then to the principal amount of the Notes and Reimbursement Obligations of such Borrower and then to the cash collateral account described in Section 11.2(b) hereof to the extent of any L/C Obligations of such Borrower then outstanding, in that order (in each case, if applicable, pro rata in accordance with all such amounts due).

SECTION 4.6 Adjustments.

If any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or interest thereon, or if any Lender shall at any time receive any collateral in respect to the Obligations owing to it (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set- off or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders such portion of each such other Lender’s Extensions of Credit, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Each Borrower agrees that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Extensions of Credit may exercise all rights of payment (including, without limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion.

SECTION 4.7 Nature of Obligations of Lenders Regarding Extensions of Credit; Assumption by the Administrative Agent.

(a) The obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement to make the Loans and issue or participate in Letters of Credit are several and are not joint or joint and several.

(b) Unless any Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that such Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the

Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then:

(i) if any Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, at the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect; and

(ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan, as the case may be, included in the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the applicable Borrower, and such Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Revolving Credit Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or any Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

SECTION 4.8 Changed Circumstances.

(a) Circumstances Affecting Offshore Rate Availability. If with respect to any Interest Period: (i) the Administrative Agent or any Lender (after consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall determine that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Offshore Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Offshore Rate Loan or (ii) the Required Lenders reasonably determine (which determination shall be conclusive) and notify the Administrative Agent that the LIBOR Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Required Lenders of funding Offshore Rate Loans for such Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Company. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers that such circumstances no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make Offshore Rate Loans and the right of the Borrowers to convert any Revolving Credit Loan to or continue any Revolving Credit Loan as an Offshore Rate Loan shall be suspended, and the Borrowers shall repay in full

(or cause to be repaid in full) the then outstanding principal amount of each such Offshore Rate Loan together with accrued interest thereon, on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Offshore Rate Loan or convert the then outstanding principal amount of each such Offshore Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as of the last day of such Interest Period (Offshore Currency Loans which are not repaid shall be redenominated and converted into their Dollar Equivalent of Base Rate Loans in Dollars).

(b) Laws Affecting Offshore Rate Availability. If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) issued after the date hereof of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any Offshore Rate Loan, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Company and the other Lenders. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the affected Lenders to make Offshore Rate Loans and the right of the Borrowers to convert any Revolving Credit Loan of the affected Lenders or continue any Revolving Credit Loan of the affected Lenders as an Offshore Rate Loan shall be suspended and thereafter the Borrowers may select only Base Rate Loans hereunder, (ii) if any of the Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain an Offshore Rate Loan to the end of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto as an Offshore Rate Loan, the applicable Offshore Rate Loan of the affected Lenders shall immediately be converted to a Base Rate Loan for the remainder of such Interest Period (Offshore Currency Loans shall be redenominated and converted into their Dollar Equivalent of Base Rate Loans in Dollars) and the Borrowers shall pay any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 4.9 in connection therewith and (iii) if any of the Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain a Competitive Bid Loan which bears interest at a rate based on the Offshore Rate to the end of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto at such rate of interest, such Competitive Bid Loan of the affected Lender shall immediately be converted to a Base Rate Loan for the remainder of such Interest Period. The Borrowers shall repay the outstanding principal amount of any Competitive Bid Loans converted into Base Rate Loans in accordance with clause (iii) of this Section 4.8(b), together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 4.9 hereof, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Competitive Bid Loans.

(c) Increased Costs. If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law, or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) issued after the date hereof of such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency:

(i) shall subject any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any Note, Letter of Credit or L/C Application or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any of the Lenders (or

any of their respective Lending Offices) of the principal of or interest on any Note, Letter of Credit or L/C Application or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect thereof (except for taxes of the type excluded from the indemnity provided for in Section 4.11(a)); or

(ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, other than any reserve included in the Eurodollar Reserve Percentage), special deposit, insurance or capital or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) or shall impose on any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) or the foreign exchange and interbank markets any other condition affecting any Note;

and the result of any event of the kind described in the foregoing clause (i) or this clause (ii), is to increase the costs to any of the Lenders of maintaining any Offshore Rate Loan, Competitive Bid Loan or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit or to reduce the yield or amount of any sum received or receivable by any of the Lenders under this Agreement or under the Notes or any Letter of Credit or L/C Application in respect of an Offshore Rate Loan or Letter of Credit, then such Lender may promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company, on behalf of the respective Borrower, of such fact and demand compensation therefor and, within fifteen (15) days after such notice by the Administrative Agent, such Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Lenders for such increased cost or reduction, provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Lender under this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Lender notifies the Company of such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor. The Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender will promptly notify the Company, on behalf of the respective Borrower, of any event of which it has knowledge which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 4.8(c); provided that the Administrative Agent shall incur no liability whatsoever to the Lenders or the Borrowers in the event it fails to do so. The amount of such compensation shall be determined, in the applicable Lender’s reasonable discretion, based upon the assumption that such Lender funded its Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the Offshore Rate Loans, or the amount of any Competitive Bid Loans made by such Lender, in the London interbank market and using any reasonable attribution or averaging methods which such Lender deems appropriate and practical. A certificate of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be forwarded to the respective Borrower through the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error.

SECTION 4.9 Indemnity.

Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrowers shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or

(b) any failure by any Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by such Borrower;

including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrowers shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrowers to the Lenders under this Section 4.9, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Offshore Rate Loan made by it by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London Dollar interbank market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Offshore Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

SECTION 4.10 Capital Requirements.

If either (a) the introduction of, or any change in, or in the interpretation of, any Applicable Law after the date hereof or (b) compliance with any guideline or request issued after the date hereof from any central bank or comparable agency or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of, or has affected or would affect the amount of capital required to be maintained by, any Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to any Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment or with reference to the Swingline Lender’s Swingline Maximum and other commitments of this type, below the rate which the Lender or such other corporation could have achieved but for such introduction, change or compliance, then within five (5) Business Days after written demand by any such Lender, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender from time to time as specified by such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or other corporation for such reduction, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to pay to such Lender such additional amounts under this Section for any amount incurred as a result of such reduction more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Lender notifies the Borrower of such reduction and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor. A certificate of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for determining such amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be forwarded to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error.

SECTION 4.11 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free and Clear. Any and all payments by any Borrower hereunder or under the Notes or the Letters of Credit shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholding, and all liabilities with respect thereto excluding, (i) in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, income and franchise taxes imposed on (or measured by) its net income by the United States of America or by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the

Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or its principal office is located or is or should be qualified to do business or any political subdivision thereof, or in the case of any Lender, in which its applicable Lending Office is located (provided, however, that no Lender shall be deemed to be located in any jurisdiction solely as a result of taking any action related to this Agreement, the Notes or Letters of Credit) and (ii) any branch profits tax imposed by the United States of America or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction described in clause (i) above (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note or Letter of Credit to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (A) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.11) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the amount such party would have received had no such deductions been made, (B) such Borrower shall make such deductions, (C) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law, and (D) such Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence of such payment to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in the manner provided in Section 4.11(d). No Borrower shall, however, be required to pay any amounts pursuant to clause (A) of the preceding sentence to any Foreign Lender or the Administrative Agent not organized under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (or the District of Columbia) if such Foreign Lender or the Administrative Agent fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (e) of this Section 4.11.

(b) Stamp and Other Taxes. In addition, the Borrowers shall pay any present or future stamp, registration, recordation or documentary taxes or any other similar fees or charges or excise or property taxes, levies of the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof or any applicable foreign jurisdiction which arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the other Loan Documents, or the perfection of any rights or security interest in respect thereto (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) Indemnity. Each Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 4.11) paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared by a Lender or the Administrative Agent, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive, provided that if the Borrowers reasonably believe that such Taxes or Other Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers, at the Borrowers’ expense, to obtain a refund of such Taxes or Other Taxes. Such indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. If a Lender or the Administrative Agent shall become aware that it is entitled to receive a refund in respect of Taxes or Other Taxes, it promptly shall notify the Company, on behalf of the respective Borrower, of the availability of such refund and shall, within sixty (60) days after receipt of a request by the Company, on behalf of such Borrower,

pursue or timely claim such refund at such Borrower’s expense. If any Lender or the Administrative Agent receives a refund in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes for which such Lender or the Administrative Agent has received payment from any Borrower hereunder, it promptly shall repay such refund (plus interest received, if any) to such Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section 4.11 with respect to Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), provided that such Borrower, upon the request of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, agrees to return such refund (plus any penalties, interest or other charges required to be paid) to such Lender or the Administrative Agent in the event such Lender or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority. Nothing contained in this Section 4.11(c) shall require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential).

(d) Evidence of Payment. Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, the respective Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 13.1, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of payment satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Delivery of Tax Forms. Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company as will permit all payments under this Agreement to be made without withholding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Foreign Lender agrees that it will deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Company (or in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) (i) two (2) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN, or any successor form thereto, as the case may be, certifying in each case that such Foreign Lender is entitled to receive payments made by any Borrower hereunder and under the Notes payable to it, without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes and (ii) a duly completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9, or any successor form thereto, as the case may be, to establish an exemption from United State backup withholding tax. Each such Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent such forms on or before the date that it becomes a party to this Agreement (or in the case of a Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each such Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender. Each such Lender shall promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent at any time that it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Company (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose) which notice shall create in Borrower the right to replace such Lender pursuant to Section 4.12 hereof.

(f) Each Lender agrees upon the request of the Company and at the Company’s expense to complete, accurately and in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Administrative Agent, and to execute, arrange for any required certification of, and deliver to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) (or to such government or taxing authority as the Company or Administrative Agent reasonably directs), any other form or document that may be required under the laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States to allow the

Company or any other Borrower to make a payment under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any taxes of the type described in this Section 4.11 or with any such deduction or withholding for or on account of such taxes at a reduced rate, in each case so long as such Lender is (i) legally entitled to provide such certification and deliver such form or document and (ii) such action is consistent with its overall tax policies and is not otherwise, in the judgment of such Lender, impractical or disadvantageous in any material respect to such Lender.

(g) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 4.11 to the contrary, no Borrower shall have any obligation to pay any taxes or to indemnify any Lender for such taxes pursuant to this Section 4.11 to the extent that such taxes result from (i) the failure of any Lender to comply with its obligations pursuant to Section 4.11(f) or (ii) any representation made on Form 1001, 4224 or W-8 or successor applicable form or certification by any Lender incurring such taxes proving to have been incorrect, false or misleading in any material respect when so made or deemed to be made or (iii) such Lender changing its applicable Lending Office to a jurisdiction in which such taxes arise, except to the extent in the judgment of such Lender such change was required by the terms of this Agreement.

(h) To the extent that the payment of any Lender’s Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrowers hereunder gives rise from time to time to a Tax Benefit (defined below) to such Lender in any jurisdiction other than the jurisdiction which imposed such Taxes or Other Taxes, such Lender shall pay to the Borrowers the amount of each such Tax Benefit so recognized or received. The amount of each Tax Benefit and, therefore, payment to the Borrowers will be determined from time to time by the relevant Lender in its sole discretion, which determination shall be binding and conclusive on all parties hereto. Each such payment will be due and payable by such Lender to the Borrowers within a reasonable time after the filing of the tax return in which such Tax Benefit is recognized or, in the case of any tax refund, after the refund is received; provided, however, if at any time thereafter such Lender is required to rescind such Tax Benefit or such Tax Benefit is otherwise disallowed or nullified, the Borrowers shall promptly, after notice thereof from such Lender, repay to such Lender the amount of such Tax Benefit previously paid to it by such Lender and which has been rescinded, disallowed or nullified. For purposes hereof, the term “Tax Benefit” shall mean the amount by which any Lender’s income tax liability for the taxable period in question is reduced below what would have been payable had the Borrowers not been required to pay such Lender’s taxes hereunder.

(i) Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 4.11 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment, but shall be limited in duration to the applicable statute of limitations for Taxes or Other Taxes for which indemnification is sought.

SECTION 4.12 Mitigation of Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.8, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Sections 4.10 or 4.11, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to

assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the sole judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable under Sections 4.8, 4.10 or 4.11, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with such designation or assignment.

(b) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.8, (ii) any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Sections 4.10 or 4.11, (iii) any Lender is unable to make Offshore Rate Loans for the reasons set forth in Section 2.18 or is unwilling to accept a proposed Designated Borrower because it is unwilling or unable to obtain additional licenses or franchises to enable it to make such requested Loan, (iv) any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, or (v) any Lender does not consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to any Loan Document that requires the consent of each Lender and that has been approved by the Required Lenders then the Company may, at its sole expense (including as to any assignment fees payable in connection therewith) and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 13.9 all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (other than any outstanding Competitive Bid Loans held by such Lender) to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender); provided that (A) the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of all Loans (other than any outstanding Competitive Bid Loans) owed to it, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (in the case of such outstanding principal and accrued interest) and from the Company (in the case of all other amounts), (C) in the case of a claim for compensation under Section 4.8 or payments required to be made pursuant to Sections 4.10 or 4.11, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments, (D) in the case of an assignment and delegation pursuant to clause (v) above, the applicable amendment, waiver, consent or release can be effected as a result of the assignment contemplated hereby (together with all other such assignments required by the Company to be made pursuant hereto), and (E) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Laws. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

ARTICLE VI

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE CREDIT PARTIES

SECTION 6.1 Representations and Warranties.

To induce the Administrative Agent and Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to induce the Lenders to make Extensions of Credit, each Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and Lenders that:

(a) Organization; Power; Qualification. Each of the Borrowers and its Subsidiaries (other than inactive Subsidiaries which are not Material Subsidiaries) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing or active status, as applicable under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation, has the power and authority to own its properties and to carry on its business as now being and hereafter proposed to be conducted and is duly qualified and authorized to do business in each jurisdiction in which the character of its properties or the nature of its business requires such qualification and authorization, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Ownership. Each Subsidiary of each of the Borrowers as of the Closing Date is listed on Schedule 6.l(b).

(c) Authorization of Agreement, Loan Documents and Borrowing. Each of the Borrowers and, if applicable, their Subsidiaries has the right, power and authority and has taken all necessary corporate and other action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party in accordance with its respective terms. Each of the Loan Documents has been duly executed and delivered by the duly authorized officers of the Borrowers and each of their Subsidiaries party thereto, as applicable, and each such document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrowers and, if applicable, each of their Subsidiaries party thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar state or federal debtor relief laws from time to time in effect which affect the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and the availability of equitable remedies.

(d) Compliance of Agreement, Loan Documents and Borrowing with Laws, Etc. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries of the Loan Documents to which each such Person is a party, in accordance with their respective terms, the borrowings hereunder and the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not, by the passage of time, the giving of notice or otherwise, (i) require any of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries to obtain any Governmental Approval or approval of any other Person not otherwise already obtained or violate any Applicable Law relating to the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries, (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a default under the articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or any indenture or other material agreement or instrument to which such Person is a party or by which any of its properties may be bound or any Governmental Approval relating to such Person except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (iii) result in or require the creation or imposition of any material Lien (other than a Lien

permitted under Section 9.2) upon or with respect to any property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Person.

(e) Compliance with Law; Governmental Approvals. Each of the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries (i) has all Governmental Approvals required by any Applicable Law for it to conduct its business, each of which is in full force and effect, is final and not subject to review on appeal and is not the subject of any pending or, to the best of the Borrowers’ knowledge, threatened attack by direct or collateral proceeding, except where the failure to have such Governmental Approval could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) is in compliance with each Governmental Approval applicable to it and in compliance with all other Applicable Laws relating to it or any of its respective properties; in each case, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(f) Tax Returns and Payments. Each of the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be filed all federal and state, local and other tax returns required by Applicable Law to be filed, and has paid, or made adequate provision for the payment of, all federal and state, local and other taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies upon it and its property, income, profits and assets which are due and payable, except taxes (i) that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which such Borrower or Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves or (ii) to the extent the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Governmental Authority has asserted any material Lien or other claim against the Borrowers or any Subsidiary thereof with respect to unpaid taxes which has not been discharged or resolved. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of each of the Borrowers and any of their respective Subsidiaries in respect of federal and all material state, local and other taxes are, in the judgment of the Borrowers, adequate, and the Borrowers do not anticipate any material additional taxes or assessments for any of the periods reflected on such books.

(g) Intellectual Property Matters. Each of the Borrowers and its Subsidiaries owns or possesses rights to use all franchises, licenses, copyrights, copyright applications, patents, patent rights or licenses, patent applications, trademarks, trademark rights, trade names, trade name rights, copyrights and rights with respect to the foregoing which are required to conduct its business except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No event has occurred which, to the knowledge of the Borrowers, permits, or after notice or lapse of time or both would permit, the revocation or termination of any such rights, and, to the knowledge of the Borrowers, neither the Borrowers nor any Subsidiary thereof is liable to any Person for infringement under Applicable Law with respect to any such rights as a result of its business operations, except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(h) Environmental Matters. Except as set forth on Schedule 6.1(h) (and only to the extent described therein) or as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect:

(i) The properties of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries (including soils, surface waters, groundwaters on, at or under such properties) do not contain and are not

(ii) The properties of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and all operations conducted in connection therewith are in compliance, and have been in compliance, with all applicable Environmental Laws, and there are no Hazardous Materials at, under or about such properties or such operations which could reasonably be expected to interfere with the continued operation of such properties;

(vi) No judicial proceedings or governmental or administrative action is pending, or, to the knowledge of the Borrowers, threatened, under any Environmental Law to which any of the Borrowers or any Subsidiary thereof has been or will be named as a party, nor are there any consent decrees or other decrees, consent orders, administrative orders or other orders, or other administrative or judicial requirements outstanding under any Environmental Law with respect to the properties or operations of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries; and

(i) ERISA.

(i) Each of the Borrowers and each ERISA Affiliate is in compliance with all applicable provisions of ERISA and the regulations and published interpretations

thereunder with respect to all Employee Benefit Plans except where any such noncompliance could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except for any failure that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Employee Benefit Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be so qualified, and each trust related to such plan has been determined to be exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code. No liability that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect has been incurred by the Borrowers or any ERISA Affiliate which remains unsatisfied for any taxes or penalties with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan or any Multiemployer Plan;

(ii) No accumulated funding deficiency (as defined in Section 412 of the Code) has been incurred (without regard to any waiver granted under Section 412 of the Code), nor has any funding waiver from the Internal Revenue Service been received or requested with respect to any Pension Plan except for any accumulated funding deficiency or funding waiver that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(v) No proceeding, claim, lawsuit and/or investigation is existing or, to the knowledge of the Borrowers, threatened concerning or involving any Employee Benefit Plan that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(j) Margin Stock. No Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof is engaged principally or as one of its material activities in the business of extending credit for the purpose of ‘‘purchasing’’ or “carrying” any ‘‘margin stock’’ (as each such term is defined or used in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System). No part of the proceeds of any of the Loans or Letters of Credit will be used for purchasing or carrying margin stock, unless the Borrowers shall have given the Administrative Agent and Lenders prior notice of such event and such other information as is reasonably necessary to permit the Administrative Agent and Lenders to comply, in a timely fashion, with all reporting obligations required by Applicable Law, or for any purpose which violates, or which would be inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of such Board of Governors.

(k) Government Regulation. No Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” (as each such

term is defined or used in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) and neither the Borrowers nor any Subsidiary thereof is, or after giving effect to any Extension of Credit will be, subject to regulation under the Interstate Commerce Act, each as amended.

(l) Burdensome Provisions. No Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof is a party to any indenture, agreement (excluding the CSC Agreement and the CSC Put), lease or other instrument, or subject to any corporate or partnership restriction, Governmental Approval or Applicable Law which is so unusual or burdensome that in the foreseeable future it could be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Affect. The Borrowers and their Subsidiaries do not presently anticipate that their future expenditures needed to meet the provisions of any statutes, orders, rules or regulations of a Governmental Authority will be so burdensome as to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(m) Financial Statements; Financial Condition: Etc. The financial statements delivered to the Lenders pursuant to Section 5.1(e)(i) and, if applicable, Section 7.1, copies of which have been furnished to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (except, in the case of unaudited financial statements, for the absence of footnotes and subject to normal year end adjustments), are complete in all material respects and fairly present in all material respects the assets, liabilities and financial position of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries as at such dates, and the results of the operations and changes of financial position for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited financial statements, to the absence of footnotes and normal year end adjustments.

(n) No Material Adverse Effect. Since December 31, 2005, there has been no Material Adverse Effect.

(o) Liens. None of the properties and assets of the Borrowers or any Subsidiary thereof is subject to any Lien, except Liens permitted pursuant to Section 9.2.

(p) Debt and Support Obligations. Schedule 6.1(p) is a complete and correct listing of all Debt and Support Obligations of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date.

(q) Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending nor, to the knowledge of the Borrowers, threatened against or affecting the Borrowers or any Subsidiary thereof or any of their respective properties in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any Governmental Authority, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(r) Absence of Defaults. No event has occurred and is continuing which constitutes a Default or an Event of Default.

(s) Absence of Bankruptcy Events. Since December 31, 2005, no event has occurred and is continuing which constitutes a Bankruptcy Event, other than Bankruptcy Events affecting Subsidiaries which are not Material Subsidiaries.

(t) Accuracy and Completeness of Information. As of the Closing Date, the Borrowers have disclosed to the Lenders all agreements, instruments and corporate or other

restrictions to which they or any of their Subsidiaries are subject, and all other matters known to them, other than general market, economic and industry conditions, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The written information, taken as a whole, furnished by or on behalf of the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) does not contain any material misstatement of fact or omit 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, with respect to any projected financial information, the Borrowers represent only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.

(u) Property. The Borrowers and their Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to all material Property owned by them and valid leasehold interests in all material Property leased by them (except as permitted by the terms of this Agreement), free and clear of all Liens, except for Liens permitted pursuant to Section 9.2.

(v) Labor Practices. No Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof is engaged in any unfair labor practices that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is (i) no unfair labor practice complaint pending against any Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof, to the knowledge of the Borrowers, threatened against a Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof, before the National Labor Relations Board, and no grievance or arbitration proceeding arising out of or under any collective bargaining agreement is so pending against a Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof or, to the knowledge of the Borrowers, threatened against a Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof, (ii) no strike, labor dispute, slowdown or stoppage pending against a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of the Borrowers, threatened against a Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof and (iii) no union representation question exists with respect to the employees of a Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof, except (with respect to any matter specified in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, either individually or in the aggregate) such as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(w) Subordinated Indebtedness. Neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries has any Debt that is subordinated to any other Debt (except for any subordinated loans made or deemed made by the seller of any account receivables and related property to the purchaser of such receivables and related property in connection with the Permitted Securitization Transaction in order to fund all or a portion of the purchase price for such receivables and related property which are transferred as part of the Permitted Securitization Transaction), unless such subordinated debt is subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations.

(x) Foreign Assets Control Regulations, etc. Neither the making of any Loan nor the use of the proceeds thereof nor the issuance of any Letter of Credit will violate (a) the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, or any of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) or any enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto, (b) the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (the “Patriot Act”) or (c) Executive Order No. 13,224, 66 Fed. Reg. 49,079 (2001), issued by the President of the United States (Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions

with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit or Support Terrorism). Without limiting the foregoing, neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries is a “blocked person” as described in Section 1 of such Executive Order or engages in any dealings or transactions with, or is otherwise associated with, any such blocked person.

(y) Representations as to Foreign Obligors. Each of the Company and each Foreign Obligor represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that:

(i) Such Foreign Obligor is subject to civil and commercial Applicable Laws with respect to its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party (collectively as to such Foreign Obligor, the “Applicable Foreign Obligor Documents”), and the execution, delivery and performance by such Foreign Obligor of the Applicable Foreign Obligor Documents constitute and will constitute private and commercial acts and not public or governmental acts. Neither such Foreign Obligor nor any of its property has any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Foreign Obligor is organized and existing in respect of its obligations under the Applicable Foreign Obligor Documents.

(ii) The Applicable Foreign Obligor Documents are in proper legal form under the Applicable Laws of the jurisdiction in which such Foreign Obligor is organized and existing for the enforcement thereof against such Foreign Obligor under the Applicable Laws of such jurisdiction, and to ensure the legality, validity, enforceability, priority or admissibility in evidence of the Applicable Foreign Obligor Documents. It is not necessary to ensure the legality, validity, enforceability, priority or admissibility in evidence of the Applicable Foreign Obligor Documents that the Applicable Foreign Obligor Documents be filed, registered or recorded with, or executed or notarized before, any court or other authority in the jurisdiction in which such Foreign Obligor is organized and existing or that any registration charge or stamp or similar tax be paid on or in respect of the Applicable Foreign Obligor Documents or any other document, except for (i) any such filing, registration, recording, execution or notarization as has been made or is not required to be made until the Applicable Foreign Obligor Document or any other document is sought to be enforced and (ii) any charge or tax as has been timely paid.

All representations and warranties set forth in this Article VI and all representations and warranties contained in any certificate related hereto, or any of the Loan Documents (including

but not limited to any such representation or warranty made in or in connection with any amendment thereto) shall constitute representations and warranties made under this Agreement. All representations and warranties made under this Agreement shall be made or deemed to be made at and as of the Closing Date (unless expressly relating to any earlier date), shall survive the Closing Date and shall not be waived by the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any investigation made by or on behalf of the Lenders or any borrowing hereunder.

The Company agrees that this guaranty may be enforced by the Lenders without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any security or collateral and without the necessity at any time of having recourse to the Notes, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any collateral, if any, hereafter securing the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise and the Company hereby waives the right to require the Lenders to proceed against a Designated Borrower or any other Person (including a co-guarantor) or to require the Lenders to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right.

Neither the Company’s obligations under this guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by an impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of a Designated Borrower or by reason of the bankruptcy or insolvency of such Borrower.

SECTION 10.6 Remedies.

The Company agrees that, as between the Company, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, the Guaranteed Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 11.2 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 11.2) notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing such Guaranteed Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or such Guaranteed Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Company.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrowers:

(a) Acceleration: Termination of Facilities. Declare the principal of and interest on the Loans, the Notes and the Reimbursement Obligations at the time outstanding, and all other amounts owed to the Lenders and to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) and all other Obligations, to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived, anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, and terminate the Credit Facility and any right of the Borrowers to request borrowings or Letters of Credit thereunder; provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 11.1(i) or (j) with respect to the Borrowers, the Credit Facility shall be automatically terminated and all Obligations shall automatically become due and payable.

(b) Letters of Credit. With respect to all Letters of Credit with respect to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of an acceleration pursuant to the preceding paragraph, require the Borrowers at such time to deposit or cause to be deposited in a

cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent (in Dollars) an amount equal to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit. Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay the other Obligations. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, the Reimbursement Obligation shall have been satisfied and all other Obligations shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be promptly returned to the Borrowers.

The enumeration of the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders set forth in this Agreement is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of any right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies, all of which shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder or under the Loan Documents or that may now or hereafter exist in law or in equity or by suit or otherwise. No delay or failure to take action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default. No course of dealing between the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or their respective agents or employees shall be effective to change, modify or discharge any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or to constitute a waiver of any Event of Default.

The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Company or any 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 hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements, or other terms and conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (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 III or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

Each of the Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender 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 of the Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking of any action under or based on this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 12.4 Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent.

The bank acting as the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

SECTION 12.7 Successor Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and the Company. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, subject to the approval by the Company provided that no Event of Default shall exist at such time. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof or a bank which maintains an office in the United States, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000.

If within 45 days after written notice is given of the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation under this Section 12.7 no successor Administrative Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on such 45th day (i) the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective, (ii) the retiring Administrative Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and (iii) the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

SECTION 12.8 Additional Agencies; No Duties Imposed Upon Syndication Agents or Co-Documentation Agents.

(a) The Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Arrangers, shall have the right from time to time to designate one or more Co-Documentation Agents. Upon any such designation, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to replace the cover page to this Agreement to reflect the addition of such Person as Co-Documentation Agent.

(b) None of the Persons designated on the cover page hereof as a “Syndication Agent”, “Co-Documentation Agent” or “Joint Lead Arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents other than, if such Person is a Lender, those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Persons designated as a “Syndication Agent”, “Co-Documentation Agent” or “Joint Lead Arranger” shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary duty to or fiduciary relationship with any Lender. In addition to the agreements set forth in Section 12.8, each of the Lenders acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

100

Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Lender sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swingline Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, 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. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification that would (i) postpone any date upon which any payment of money is scheduled to be paid to such Participant, (ii) reduce the principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable to such Participant (other than as a result of (x) waiving the applicability of any post-default increases in interest rates or (y) an amendment approved by the Required Lenders as set forth in the definition of “Applicable Percentage” following the withdrawal by S&P and/or Xxxxx’x of an Applicable Rating), (iii) permit any assignment (other than as specifically contemplated in this Agreement) of any of the Borrowers’ rights and obligations hereunder or (iv) release the Borrower from its obligations hereunder. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.8, 4.9, 4.10 and 4.11 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.3 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.6 as though it were a Lender.

(e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 4.8, 4.9, 4.10 or 4.11 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Company’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.11 unless the Company is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 4.11(e) as though it were a Foreign Lender.

(f) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Notes, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

101

(g) If the consent of the Company to an assignment or to an Eligible Assignee is required hereunder (including a consent to an assignment which does not meet the minimum assignment threshold specified in clause (i) of the proviso to the first sentence of Section 13.9(b), the Company shall be deemed to have given its consent five Business Days after the date notice thereof has been delivered by the assigning Lender (through the Administrative Agent) unless such consent is expressly refused by a Borrower prior to such fifth Business Day.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time SunTrust assigns all of its Revolving Credit Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, SunTrust may, (i) upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Company and the Lenders, resign as Issuing Lender and/or (ii) upon five (5) Business Days’ written notice to the Company, terminate the Swingline Maximum. In the event of any such resignation as Issuing Lender or termination of the Swingline Maximum, the Company shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Issuing Lender and/or Swingline Lender hereunder; provided that no failure by the Company to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of SunTrust as Issuing Lender or the termination of the Swingline Maximum, as the case may be. SunTrust shall retain all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Lender hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Issuing Lender and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund participations pursuant to Section 3.4. If SunTrust terminates the Swingline Maximum, it shall retain all the rights of the Swingline Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swingline Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such termination, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund participations in outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.5(b).

(i) Designation of SPVs.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Designating Lender”) may grant to one or more special purpose funding vehicles (each, an “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Designating Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Company, the option to provide to the Company all or any part of any Loan that such Designating Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Company pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (A) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan, (B) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Designating Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof, (C) the Designating Lender shall remain liable for any indemnity or other payment obligation with respect to its Commitments hereunder and (D) each such SPV would satisfy the requirements of Section 4.11 if such SPV was a Lender hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Designating Lender to the same extent as a Loan made by, and as if such Loan were made by, such Designating Lender.

(ii) As to any Loans or portion thereof made by it, each SPV shall have all the rights that a Lender making such Loans or portion thereof would have had under this Agreement; provided, however, that each SPV shall have granted to its Designating Lender an irrevocable power of attorney, to deliver and receive all communications and

102

notices under this Agreement (and any related documents), including, without limitation, any Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing and any Notice of Conversion/Continuation, and to exercise on such SPV’s behalf, all of such SPV’s voting rights under this Agreement. No additional Note shall be required to evidence the Loans or portion thereof made by an SPV; and the related Designating Lender shall be deemed to hold its Note as agent for such SPV to the extent of the Loans or portion thereof funded by such SPV. In addition, any payments for the account of any SPV shall be paid to its Designating Lender as agent for such SPV.

(iii) Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or payment under this Agreement for which a Lender would otherwise be liable for so long as, and to the extent, the Designating Lender provides such indemnity or makes such payment. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding prior indebtedness of any SPV, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or similar proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof.

(iv) In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.9 or otherwise in this Agreement, any SPV may (A) at any time and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign or participate all or a portion of its interest in any Loans to the Designating Lender (or to any other SPV of such Designating Lender) or to any financial institutions providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (B) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancements to such SPV. This Section may not be amended without the written consent of any Designating Lender affected thereby.

SECTION 13.10 Confidentiality.

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information, except that Confidential Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and instructed to keep such Confidential Information confidential), solely for use in connection with this Agreement; (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority; (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any direct or indirect contractual counterparty or prospective counterparty (or such contractual counterparty’s or prospective counterparty’s

103

professional advisor) to any credit derivative transaction relating to obligations of the Borrowers; (g) with the consent of the Borrowers; (h) to the extent such Confidential Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers; or (i) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s or its Affiliates’ investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender or its Affiliates. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

SECTION 13.11 Amendments, Waivers and Consents.

Except as set forth below, any term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents may be amended or waived by the Lenders and any consent may be given by the Lenders, if, but only if, such amendment, waiver or consent is in writing signed by the Required Lenders (or by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) and delivered to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of an amendment, signed by the Borrowers; provided that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, without the consent of each Lender affected thereby, (a) increase the amount of any Lender’s Commitment or extend the time of the obligation of the Lenders to make Loans or issue or participate in Letters of Credit, (b) extend the originally scheduled time or times of payment of the principal of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or the time or times of payment of interest or fees on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation (except as expressly contemplated by Sections 2.7 or 2.8), (c) reduce the rate of interest or fees payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation (other than as a result of (x) waiving the applicability of any post-default increases in interest rates or (y) an amendment approved by the Required Lenders as set forth in the definition of “Applicable Percentage” following the withdrawal by S&P and/or Xxxxx’x of an Applicable Rating) (d) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, (e) permit any assignment (other than as specifically permitted or contemplated in this Agreement) of any of the Borrowers’ rights and obligations hereunder, (f) release the Company from its guaranty hereunder or (g) amend the provisions of this Section or the percentage set forth in the definition of Required Lenders.

SECTION 13.16 Severability of Provisions.

SECTION 13.17 Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and shall be binding upon all parties, their successors and assigns, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

SECTION 13.22 Subordination of Company’s Claims Against the Designated Borrowers.

The Borrowers hereby agree that any claims of the Company against a Designated Borrower or any rights the Company has to be indemnified by a Designated Borrower shall be subordinate in right of payment to the payment and satisfaction in full of the Guaranteed Obligations to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

The following notification is provided to the Company pursuant to Section 326 of the Patriot Act:
