SECTION 2. THE COMMITTED RATE LOANS; THE BID LOANS; AMOUNT AND TERMS

2.1 The Committed Rate Loans . (a) During the Commitment Period, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make loans (individually, a “Committed Rate Loan”) to the Company from time to time in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed (after giving effect to the simultaneous use of the proceeds thereof to repay Loans) such Lender’s Commitment, provided that no Committed Rate Loan shall be made hereunder which would result in the Aggregate Loans (after giving effect to the simultaneous use of the proceeds thereof to repay Loans) being in excess of the Aggregate Commitments then in effect. The Company may use the Commitments to borrow, repay and reborrow Committed Rate Loans from time to time during the Commitment Period, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.

(b) The Committed Rate Loans may be (i) Eurodollar Loans, (ii) Alternate Base Rate Loans or (iii) a combination thereof.

(c) The Company may borrow Committed Rate Loans on any Business Day; provided, however, that the Company, shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice thereof (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent (i) prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Eurodollar Loans and (ii) prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans). Each such notice shall be given by facsimile transmission substantially in the form of Exhibit A (with appropriate insertions) or shall be given by telephone (specifying the information set forth in Exhibit A) promptly confirmed by notice given by facsimile transmission substantially in the form of Exhibit A (with appropriate insertions). On the day of receipt of any such notice from the Company, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. Each Lender will make the amount of its share of each borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Company at the office of the Administrative Agent set forth in subsection 8.2 by 11:00 A.M. (or 3:00 P.M., in the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans), New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Company in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent may direct. The proceeds of all such Committed Rate Loans will then be promptly made available to the Company by the Administrative Agent at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in subsection 8.2 by crediting the account of the Company on the books of such office of the Administrative Agent with the aggregate of the amount made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

(d) All Committed Rate Loans shall be due and payable upon the Termination Date.

2.2 The Bid Loans . (a) The Company may borrow Bid Loans from time to time on any Business Day during the Commitment Period in the manner set forth in this subsection and in amounts such that the Aggregate Loans at any time outstanding shall not exceed (after giving effect to the simultaneous use of the proceeds thereof to repay Loans) the Aggregate Commitments at such time, provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Bid Loans of a Bid Loan Lender may (but shall not be required to) exceed its Commitment.

(b) (i) The Company shall request Bid Loans by delivering a Bid Loan Request to the Administrative Agent, not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) four Business Days prior to the proposed Bid Loan Date (in the case of an Index Rate Bid Loan Request), and not later than 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) one Business Day prior to the proposed Bid Loan Date (in the case of an Absolute Rate Bid Loan Request). Each Bid Loan Request may solicit bids for Bid Loans in an aggregate principal amount of $50,000,000 or an integral multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof and for not more than three alternative Interest Periods for such Bid Loans. The Interest Period for each Bid Loan shall end not less than 7 days (one month in the case of Index Rate Bid Loans) nor more than 180 days (six months in the case of Index Rate Bid Loans) after the Bid Loan Date therefor (and in any event subject to the proviso to the definition of “Interest Period” in subsection 1.1). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bid Loan Lender by facsimile transmission of the contents of each Bid Loan Request received by it.

(ii) In the case of an Index Rate Bid Loan Request, upon receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent of the contents of such Bid Loan Request, any Bid Loan Lender that elects, in its sole discretion, to do so, shall irrevocably offer to make one or more Bid Loans to the Company at the Applicable Index Rate plus or minus a margin for each such Bid Loan determined by such Bid Loan Lender, in its sole discretion. Any such irrevocable offer shall be made by delivering a Bid Loan Offer to the Administrative Agent before 10:30 A.M. (New York City time) three Business Days before the proposed Bid Loan Date, setting forth the maximum amount of Bid Loans for each Interest Period, and the aggregate maximum amount for all Interest Periods, which such Lender would be willing to make (which amount may, subject to subsection 2.2(a), exceed such Lender’s Commitment) and the margin above or below the Applicable Index Rate at which such Bid Loan Lender is willing to make each such Bid Loan; the Administrative Agent shall advise the Company before 11:15 A.M. (New York City time) three Business Days before the proposed Bid Loan Date of the contents of each such Bid Loan Offer received by it. If the Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Bid Loan Lender shall, in its sole discretion, elect to make any such offer, it shall advise the Company of the contents of its Bid Loan Offer before 10:15 A.M. (New York City time) three Business Days before the proposed Bid Loan Date.

(iii) In the case of an Absolute Rate Bid Loan Request, upon receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent of the contents of such Bid Loan Request, any Bid Loan Lender that elects, in its sole discretion, to do so, shall irrevocably offer to make one or more Bid Loans to the Company at a rate or rates of interest for each such Bid Loan determined by such Bid Loan Lender in its sole discretion. Any such irrevocable offer shall be made by delivering a Bid Loan Offer to the Administrative Agent before 9:30 A.M. (New York City time) on the proposed Bid Loan Date, setting forth the maximum amount of Bid Loans for each Interest Period, and the aggregate maximum amount for all Interest Periods, which such Bid Loan Lender would be willing to make (which amount may, subject to subsection 2.2(a), exceed such Bid Loan Lender’s Commitment) and the rate or rates of interest at which such Bid Loan Lender is willing to make each such Bid Loan; the Administrative Agent shall advise the Company before 10:15 A.M. (New York City time) on the proposed Bid Loan Date of the contents of each such Bid Loan Offer received by it. If the Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Bid Loan Lender shall, in its sole discretion, elect to make any such offer, it shall advise the Company of the contents of its Bid Loan Offer before 9:15 A.M. (New York City time) on the proposed Bid Loan Date.

(iv) The Company shall before 11:45 A.M. (New York City time) three Business Days before the proposed Bid Loan Date (in the case of Bid Loans requested by an Index Rate Bid Loan Request) and before 10:45 A.M. (New York City time) on the proposed Bid Loan Date (in the case of Bid Loans requested by an Absolute Rate Bid Loan Request) either, in its absolute discretion:

(A) cancel such Bid Loan Request by giving the Administrative Agent telephone notice to that effect, or

(B) accept one or more of the offers made by any Bid Loan Lender or Bid Loan Lenders pursuant to clause (ii) or clause (iii) above, as the case may be, by giving telephone notice to the Administrative Agent (immediately confirmed by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Bid Loan Confirmation) of the amount of Bid Loans for each relevant Interest Period to be made by each Bid Loan Lender (which amount shall be equal to or less than the maximum amount for such Interest Period specified in the Bid Loan Offer of such Bid Loan Lender, and for all Interest Periods included in such Bid Loan Offer shall be equal to or less than the aggregate maximum amount specified in such Bid Loan Offer for all such Interest Periods) and reject any remaining offers made by Bid Loan Lenders pursuant to clause (ii) or clause (iii) above, as the case may be; provided, however, that (x) the Company may not accept offers for Bid Loans for any Interest Period in an aggregate principal amount in excess of the maximum principal amount requested for such Interest Period in the related Bid Loan Request, (y) if the Company accepts any of such offers, it must accept offers strictly based upon pricing for such relevant Interest Period and no other criteria whatsoever and (z) if two or more Bid Loan Lenders submit offers for any Interest Period at identical pricing and the Company accepts any of such offers but does not wish to borrow the total amount offered by such Bid Loan Lenders with such identical pricing, the Company shall accept offers from all of such Bid Loan Lenders in amounts allocated among them pro rata according to the amounts offered by such Bid Loan Lenders (or as nearly pro rata as shall be practicable, after giving effect to the requirement that Bid Loans made by a Bid Loan Lender on a Bid Loan Date for each relevant Interest Period shall be in a principal amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof).

(v) If the Company notifies the Administrative Agent that a Bid Loan Request is cancelled pursuant to clause (iv)(A) above, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephone notice thereof to the Bid Loan Lenders, and the Bid Loans requested thereby shall not be made.

(vi) If the Company accepts pursuant to clause (iv)(B) above one or more of the offers made by any Bid Loan Lender or Bid Loan Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify by telephone each Bid Loan Lender which has made such an offer of the aggregate amount of such Bid Loans to be made on such Bid Loan Date for each Interest Period and of the acceptance or rejection of any offers to make such Bid Loans made by such Bid Loan Lender. Each Bid Loan Lender which is to make a Bid Loan shall, before 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the Bid Loan Date specified in the Bid Loan Request applicable thereto, make available to the Administrative Agent at its office set forth in subsection 8.2 the amount of Bid Loans to be made by such Bid Loan Lender, in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Company promptly on such date at the Administrative Agent’s aforesaid address. As soon as practicable after each Bid Loan Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the aggregate amount of Bid Loans advanced on such Bid Loan Date and the respective Interest Periods therefor.

(c) Within the limits and on the conditions set forth in this subsection, the Company may from time to time borrow under this subsection, repay pursuant to paragraph (d) below, and reborrow under this subsection.

(d) The Company shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bid Loan Lender which has made a Bid Loan to it on the last day of the Interest Period for such Bid Loan (such Interest Period being that specified by the Company for repayment of such Bid Loan in the related Bid Loan Request) the then unpaid principal amount of such Bid Loan. The Company shall not have the right to prepay any principal amount of any Bid Loan without the prior consent of the Bid Loan Lender with respect thereto.

(e) The Company shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Bid Loan made to it from the applicable Bid Loan Date to the stated maturity date thereof, at the rate of interest determined pursuant to paragraph (b) above (calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for actual days elapsed), payable on the interest payment date or dates specified by the Company for such Bid Loan in the related Bid Loan Request. If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Bid Loan or any interest payable thereon shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall, without limiting any rights of any Lender under this Agreement, bear interest at a rate per annum which is (x) in the case of overdue principal, 2% above the rate which would otherwise be applicable to such Bid Loan until the scheduled maturity date with respect thereto and for each day thereafter at a rate per annum which is 2% above the Alternate Base Rate or (y) in the case of overdue interest, 2% above the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, in each case from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

2.3 Denomination of Committed Rate Loans. Each borrowing of Committed Rate Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $50,000,000 or a whole multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof.

2.4 Fees. The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) in an amount equal to the Facility Fee Percentage, of the Aggregate Commitments from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the Termination Date, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December, and on the Termination Date. Such quarterly payment made hereunder shall be a payment in consideration for holding open the availability of the Commitments or making the Loans for the quarterly period completed on the date payment is due.

2.5 Changes of Commitments. (a) The Company shall have the right to terminate or reduce the unused portion of the Commitments at any time or from time to time upon not less than three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall notify the Lenders thereof as soon as practicable) of each such termination or reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date thereof and the amount of any such reduction (which shall be in a minimum amount of $50,000,000 or a whole multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof) and shall be irrevocable and effective only upon receipt by the Administrative Agent, provided that no such reduction or termination shall be permitted if after giving effect thereto, and to any prepayments of the Committed Rate Loans made on the effective date thereof, the then outstanding principal amount of the Aggregate Loans would exceed the Aggregate Commitments then in effect.

(b) The Commitments once terminated or reduced pursuant to this subsection may not be reinstated.

2.6 Optional Prepayments. (a) The Company may prepay Committed Rate Loans or (with the consent of the Bid Loan Lender in respect thereof) Bid Loans upon receipt by the Administrative Agent (which shall notify the Lenders thereof as soon as practicable) of irrevocable notice from the Company prior to 11:30 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of such prepayment.

(b) If any Eurodollar Loan shall be prepaid on any day under this subsection 2.6 other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or prior to the conversion thereof if a notice of conversion has been delivered with respect thereto pursuant to subsection 2.9, the Company shall, on the date of such payment, also pay all interest accrued on such Eurodollar Loan to the date of such payment and all amounts payable pursuant to subsection 2.16 in connection therewith.

2.7 Minimum Principal Amount of Tranches. All borrowings, payments and prepayments in respect of Committed Rate Loans shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that after giving effect thereto the aggregate principal amount of the Committed Rate Loans comprising any Tranche shall not be less than $50,000,000 or a whole multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof.

2.8 Committed Rate Loan Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Committed Rate Loan comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) The Alternate Base Rate Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Committed Rate Loan which is a Eurodollar Loan shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue principal amount of such Committed Rate Loan shall be converted to an Alternate Base Rate Loan at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

(d) If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Committed Rate Loan, (ii) any interest payable thereon or (iii) any fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is (x) in the case of overdue principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this subsection plus 2% or (y) in the case of overdue interest, fees or other amounts, the rate described in paragraph (b) of this subsection plus 2%, in each case from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

(e) Interest on each Committed Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (d) of this subsection shall be payable from time to time on demand.

2.9 Conversion Options. (a) The Company may elect from time to time to convert Alternate Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable written notice of such election received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, three Business Days prior to the proposed conversion date. The Company may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to Alternate Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, one Business Day prior to the proposed conversion date. If the date upon which an Alternative Base Rate Loan is to be converted to a Eurodollar Loan is not a Business Day in London, then such conversion shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day in London and during the period from such last day of an Interest Period to such succeeding Business Day such Loan shall bear interest as if it were an Alternate Base Rate Loan. All or any part of outstanding Eurodollar Loans and Alternate Base Rate Loans may be converted as provided herein, provided that (i) no Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders have determined that such conversion is not appropriate and (ii) partial conversions shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $50,000,000 or a whole multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof.

(b) Any Eurodollar Loans may be continued as such upon the expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto by compliance by the Company with the notice provisions contained in subsection 2.9(a); provided, that no Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders have determined that such a continuation is not appropriate, in which case such Loan shall be automatically converted to an Alternate Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto.

2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest payable hereunder with respect to Alternate Base Rate Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365/6 days for the actual days elapsed. All other fees, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Company and the Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate on the Business Day of the determination thereof. Any change in the interest rate on a Committed Rate Loan resulting from a change in the Alternate Base Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change in the Alternate Base Rate shall become effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Company and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Company, deliver to the Company a statement showing the quotations and the computations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate.

(c) If any Reference Lender’s Commitment shall terminate for any reason whatsoever (otherwise than with termination of all the Commitments), such Reference Lender shall thereupon cease to be a Reference Lender, and if for any reason there shall cease to be at least two Reference Lenders, then the Administrative Agent (after consultation with the Company and the Lenders) shall, by notice to the Company and the Lenders, designate another Lender as a Reference Lender (who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company) so that there shall at all times be at least two Reference Lenders.

(d) Each Reference Lender shall use its best efforts to furnish quotations of rates to the Administrative Agent when and as contemplated hereby. If any of the Reference Lenders shall be unable or otherwise fails to supply such rates to the Administrative Agent upon its request, the rate of interest shall, subject to the provisions of subsection 2.13, be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Lenders or Reference Lender.

2.11 Pro Rata Treatment, Payments and Evidence of Debt. (a) Each borrowing of Committed Rate Loans and any reduction of the Commitments shall be made pro rata according to the respective Commitment Percentages of the Lenders. Each payment by the Company under this Agreement shall be applied, first, to any fees then due and owing by the Company pursuant to subsection 2.4, second, to interest then due and owing in respect of the Loans and, third, to principal then due and owing in respect of the Loans. Each payment by the Company on account of any fees pursuant to subsection 2.4 shall be made pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts due and owing. Each payment (other than prepayments) by the Company on account of principal of and interest on the Committed Rate Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective amounts due and owing. Each prepayment on account of principal of the Loans (except to the extent designated to be applied to Bid Loans) shall be applied, first, to such of the Committed Rate Loans as the Company may designate (to be applied pro rata among the Lenders), and, second, after all Committed Rate Loans shall have been paid in full, to Bid Loans, pro rata according to the respective amounts outstanding; provided, that prepayments made pursuant to subsection 2.14 shall be applied in accordance with such subsection; and provided further that nothing herein shall be deemed to permit optional prepayments on account of Bid Loans without the prior consent of the Bid Loan Lender with respect thereto.

(b) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Company on account of principal, interest and fees shall be made without defense, set-off or counterclaim (except as provided in subsection 2.17(b)) and shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders at the Administrative Agent’s office specified in subsection 8.2 in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders entitled thereto promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans or Index Rate Bid Loans payable on the next preceding Business Day as a result of the following sentence) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan or an Index Rate Bid Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

(c) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Company to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Company to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to the two preceding sentences shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Company to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d) Any Lender (including any Replacement Lender) may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Company shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to subsection 8.6) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

2.12 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. (a) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender prior to the time a Committed Rate Loan is to be made by such Lender (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that such Lender does not intend to make the proceeds of such Committed Rate Loan available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such proceeds available to the Administrative Agent at such time, and the Administrative Agent may in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to) make available to the Company a corresponding amount. If such amount is made available to the Administrative Agent on a date after such Borrowing Date, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during such period, times (ii) the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such borrowing, times (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse from and including such Borrowing Date to the date on which such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such borrowing shall have become immediately available to the Administrative Agent and the denominator of which is 360. If such Lender’s Commitment Percentage is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Alternate Base Rate Loans hereunder, on demand, from the Company.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by the Company prior to the date on which any payment is due from it hereunder (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that the Company does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Company has made such payment when due, and the Administrative Agent may in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to) make available to each Lender on such payment date an amount equal to the portion of such assumed payment to which such Lender is entitled hereunder, and if the Company has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall, on demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount made available to such Lender. If such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent on a date after the date such amount was made available to such Lender, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during such period, times (ii) the amount made available to such Lender by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this paragraph (b), times (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse from and including the date on which such amount was made available to such Lender to the date on which such amount shall have been repaid to the Administrative Agent by such Lender and become immediately available to the Administrative Agent and the denominator of which is 360.

(c) A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to the Company or any Lender with respect to any amount owing under this subsection shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

2.13 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if (i) the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that, for any reason whatsoever, a rate for Eurodollar Loans cannot be determined as provided in the definition of Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period or (ii) the Majority Lenders shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive) that the rates for the purpose of computing the Eurodollar Rate do not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding Eurodollar Loans that the Company has requested be outstanding as a Eurodollar Tranche during such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give telephone notice of such determination, confirmed in writing, to the Company and the Lenders at least two Business Days prior to the first day of such Interest Period. Unless the Company shall have notified the Administrative Agent upon receipt of such telephone notice that it wishes to rescind or modify its request regarding such Eurodollar Loans, any Loans that were requested to be made as Eurodollar Loans shall be made as Alternate Base Rate Loans and any Loans that were requested to be converted into or continued as Eurodollar Loans shall be converted into Alternate Base Rate Loans. Until any such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Loans shall be made as, continued as, or converted into, Eurodollar Loans.

(b) In the event that the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period with respect to a proposed Bid Loan to be made pursuant to an Index Rate Bid Loan Request, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give telephone notice of such determination, confirmed in writing, to the Company and the Bid Loan Lenders at least two Business Days prior to the proposed Bid Loan Date, and such Bid Loans shall not be made on such Bid Loan Date. Until any such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Index Rate Bid Loan Requests shall be submitted by the Company.

2.14 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by any relevant Governmental Authority to any Lender shall make it unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement or to obtain in the interbank eurodollar market the funds with which to make such Loans, (a) such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Company thereof, (b) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans or continue Eurodollar Loans as such shall forthwith be cancelled and (c) such Lender’s Committed Rate Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law into Alternate Base Rate Loans. The Company hereby agrees promptly to pay any Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for actual and direct costs reasonably incurred by such Lender in making any repayment in accordance with this subsection including, but not limited to, any interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its Eurodollar Loans hereunder. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Company shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts to avoid or to minimize any amounts which may otherwise be payable pursuant to this subsection; provided, however, that such efforts shall not cause the imposition on such Lender of any additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens deemed by such Lender to be material.

2.15 Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i) does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which are not otherwise covered by subsection 2.15(b); or

(ii) does or shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining Loans or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, then, in any such case, the Company shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which such Lender reasonably deems to be material as determined by such Lender with respect to its Eurodollar Loans; provided however, that the Company shall have no obligation under this subsection 2.15 to pay such Lender any additional amounts with respect to any such additional cost or reduced amount receivable resulting from taxes addressed in subsection 2.17. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Company shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts to avoid or to minimize any amounts which might otherwise be payable pursuant to this paragraph of this subsection; provided, however, that such efforts shall not cause the imposition on such Lender of any additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens deemed by such Lender to be material.

(b) In addition to amounts which may become payable from time to time pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection, the Company agrees to pay to each Lender which requests compensation under this paragraph (b) (by notice to the Company), on the last day of each Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, so long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves against “Eurocurrency liabilities” under Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or, so long as such Lender may be required by such Board of Governors or by any other Governmental Authority to maintain reserves against any other category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or against any category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender which includes any Eurodollar Loans), an additional amount (determined by such Lender and notified to the Company) representing such Lender’s calculation or, if an accurate calculation is impracticable, reasonable estimate (using such reasonable means of allocation as such Lender shall determine) of the actual costs, if any, incurred by such Lender during such Interest Period as a result of the applicability of the foregoing reserves to such Eurodollar Loans, which amount in any event shall not exceed the product of the following for each day of such Interest Period:

(i) the principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender to which such Interest Period relates outstanding on such day; and

(ii) the difference between (x) a fraction (expressed as a decimal) the numerator of which is the Eurodollar Rate (expressed as a decimal) applicable to such Eurodollar Loan and the denominator of which is one minus the maximum rate (expressed as a decimal) at which such reserve requirements are imposed by such Board of Governors or other Governmental Authority on such date minus (y) such numerator; and

(iii) a fraction the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is 360.

(c) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Lender, the Company shall pay to such Lender such additional amount as shall be certified by such Lender as being required to compensate it for such reduction.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not have any obligation to pay to any Lender amounts owing under this subsection 2.15 for any period which is more than 60 days prior to the date upon which the request for payment therefor is delivered to the Company; provided that in no event shall the Company have any obligation to pay to any Lender amounts owing under subsection 2.15(b) for any period which is prior to the commencement of the Interest Period in effect at the time a demand for payment is made by such Lender.

(e) The agreements in this subsection shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.16 Indemnity. The Company hereby agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold such Lender harmless from any funding loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Company in payment of the principal amount of or interest on any Loan by such Lender in accordance with the terms of subsections 2.1(d), 2.2(d), 2.2(e) and 2.8(e), as the case may be, (b) default by the Company in making a borrowing after the Company has given a notice in accordance with subsection 2.1 or 2.2, (c) default by the Company in making any prepayment after the Company has given a notice in accordance with subsection 2.6 and/or (d) the making by the Company of a prepayment of a Committed Rate Loan (including without limitation, any prepayment of an Alternate Base Rate Loan after notice of conversion to a Eurodollar Loan has been delivered with respect thereto pursuant to subsection 2.9), or the conversion thereof, on a day which is not the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto, in each case including, but not limited to, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain its Loans hereunder. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by any Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Company (which certificate must be delivered to the Administrative Agent within thirty days following such default, prepayment or conversion) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The agreements in this subsection shall survive termination of this Agreement and payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.17 Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Company hereunder will be, except as provided in subsection 2.17(b), made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any Governmental Authority or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding any tax imposed on or measured by the net income or net profits of a Lender (or franchise, capital or other similar taxes imposed in lieu of a tax on net income or net profits), pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or the jurisdiction in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located or any subdivision thereof or therein) and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to collectively as “Taxes”). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the Company agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes, and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount that would have been paid had no such withholding or deduction of Taxes been made. The Company will furnish to the Administrative Agent as soon as practicable after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies (to the extent reasonably available and required by law) of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, and reimburse such Lender upon its written request, for the amount of any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such Lender.

(b) Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for United States federal income tax purposes agrees to deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Effective Date, or in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to subsection 8.6(c) (unless the respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or transfer), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender, (i) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN (with respect to the benefit of any income tax treaty) (or successor forms) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement, or (ii) if the Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN (with respect to the benefit of any income tax treaty) pursuant to clause (i) above, or (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C (any such certificate, a “2.17 Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exception under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code) (or successor form) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement to an exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement. In addition, each Lender agrees that it will deliver upon the Company’s request updated versions of the foregoing, as applicable, whenever the previous certification has become obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, together with such other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement, or it shall immediately notify the Company and the Administrative Agent of its inability to deliver any such Form or Certificate, in which case such Lender shall not be required to deliver any such Form or Certificate pursuant to this subsection 2.17(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in subsection 2.17(a), but subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, (x) the Company shall be entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by law, to deduct or withhold Taxes imposed by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from interest, fees or other amounts payable hereunder for the account of any Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for United States federal income tax purposes and (y) the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to subsection 2.17(a) hereof to gross-up payments to be made to or otherwise indemnify a Lender in respect of such Taxes to the extent that such Lender has not provided to the Company U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable, a 2.17 Certificate) that establish a complete exemption from such deduction or withholding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding sentence or elsewhere in this subsection 2.17, the Company agrees to pay additional amounts and to indemnify each Lender in the manner set forth in subsection 2.17(a) (without regard to the identity of the jurisdiction requiring the deduction or withholding) in respect of the incremental amount of Taxes deducted or withheld or required to be deducted or withheld by it as a result of any changes after the Effective Date, or in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to subsection 8.6(c), after the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender, in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting or withholding of Taxes even if such Lender is unable, as a result of such changes, to deliver the forms or 2.17 Certificate described in clause (i) or (ii) of the first sentence of this subsection 2.17(b).

(c) Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (including reasonable efforts to change its lending office) to avoid or to minimize any amounts which might otherwise be payable pursuant to this subsection; provided, however, that such efforts shall not cause the imposition on such Lender of any additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens deemed by such Lender to be material.

(d) If the Company pays any additional amount pursuant to this subsection 2.17 with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to obtain a refund of tax or credit against its tax liabilities on account of such payment; provided that such Lender shall have no obligation to use such reasonable efforts if either (i) it is in an excess foreign tax credit position or (ii) it believes in good faith, in its sole discretion, that claiming a refund or credit would cause adverse tax consequences to it. In the event that such Lender receives such a refund or credit, such Lender shall pay to the Company an amount that such Lender reasonably determines is equal to the net tax benefit obtained by such Lender as a result of such payment by the Company. In the event that no refund or credit is obtained with respect to the Company’s payments to such Lender pursuant to this subsection 2.17, then such Lender shall provide a certification that such Lender has not received a refund or credit for such payments. Nothing contained in this subsection 2.17 shall require a Lender to disclose or detail the basis of its calculation of the amount of any tax benefit or any other amount or the basis of its determination referred to in the proviso to the first sentence of this subsection 2.17(d) to the Company or any other party.

(e) The agreements in this subsection shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.18 Replacement of Lenders. In the event that any Lender shall submit a request for additional reimbursement under subsection 2.15(a), (b) or (c) or subsection 2.17, the Company shall have the right to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Transferee or Transferees, (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided that:

(i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this subsection 2.18, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Commitment Transfer Supplements pursuant to subsection 8.6(c) (and with all fees payable pursuant to subsection 8.6(e) to be paid by the Replacement Lender) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Committed Rate Loans of the Replaced Lender hereunder and (if the Company so requests) under the Existing 5-Year Credit Agreement, and in connection therewith, shall pay to the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (x) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, all outstanding Committed Rate Loans of the Replaced Lender hereunder and thereunder, and (y) an amount equal to all accrued but unpaid Facility Fees (if any) owing to the Replaced Lender pursuant to subsection 2.4 hereof and thereof; and

(ii) all obligations of the Company owing to the Replaced Lender hereunder and (if the Company so requests) under the Existing 5-Year Credit Agreement (including the aforesaid increased fees but other than (x) those specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid and (y) accrued but not due interest on, and the principal of, all Bid Loans of the Replaced Bank then outstanding (which will be paid when and as due by the Company)) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender by the Company concurrently with such replacement; provided, that, no such payment shall be required in respect of periods commencing (x) prior to the commencement of the Interest Period in respect of which such payment is sought, in the case of any payment pursuant to subsection 2.15(b), or (y) prior to the date which is 60 days prior to the date of such payment request, in all other cases.

The Company will also be required to provide reimbursement to such Replaced Lender for any additional amounts owing pursuant to subsection 2.15(a), (b) or (c) or subsection 2.17 for the period subsequent to such request through the date of such replacement. Upon the execution of the respective Commitment Transfer Supplements and the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (and the obligation, if any, owed it in respect of any outstanding Bid Loan), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender. The Administrative Agent agrees with the Company to use diligent efforts to assist the Company in locating any necessary Replacement Lender.

SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans herein provided for, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and to each Lender that:

3.1 Financial Condition. The consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2004 and as at March 31, 2005 and the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal year or three-month period ended on such date, reported on (in the case of such annual statements) by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, are complete and correct and present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for the fiscal year or three-month period then ended, subject in the case of the March 31, 2005 statements to normal year-end adjustments. All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as disclosed therein). Neither the Company nor any of its consolidated Subsidiaries had, at the date of the balance sheets referred to above, any material Guarantee Obligation, contingent liabilities or liability for taxes, long-term lease or unusual forward or long-term commitment, including, without limitation, any material interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction, which is not reflected in the foregoing statements or in the notes thereto.

3.2 No Change. Since December 31, 2004, there has been no development or event which has had a Material Adverse Effect.

3.3 Existence; Compliance with Law. Each of the Company and its Significant Subsidiaries (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the corporate, limited liability company or partnership power and authority and the legal right to own and operate all its material property, to lease the material property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation, limited liability company or partnership and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification except to the extent that the failure to so qualify or be in good standing would not, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith would not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.4 Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. The Company has full power and authority and the legal right to make, deliver and perform this Agreement and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the borrowings hereunder or with the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by the Company or with the validity or enforceability of this Agreement against the Company. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Company. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

3.5 No Legal Bar; No Default . The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the borrowings thereunder and the use of the proceeds of the Loans will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of the Company or its Significant Subsidiaries, and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of its or their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

3.6 No Material Litigation. No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened by or against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or against any of its or their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to this Agreement or any Loan or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or (b) except as previously disclosed in filings with the SEC, which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.7 Investment Company Act. The Company is not an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

3.8 Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loan hereunder will be used directly or indirectly for any purpose which violates, or which would be inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as now and from time to time hereafter in effect. No part of any such proceeds shall be used to purchase or carry any “Margin Stock”, as that term is defined in said Regulation U.

3.9 ERISA. Neither a Reportable Event nor an “accumulated funding deficiency” (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA) has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Plan, and each Plan has complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code, except to the extent that any such occurrence or failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred resulting in any liability that has remained underfunded, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during such five-year period which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except for the Company’s Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, the present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by an amount which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Commonly Controlled Entity is currently subject to any liability for a complete or partial withdrawal from a Multiemployer Plan which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.10 Environmental Matters. Except to the extent that all of the following, in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect:

(a) To the best knowledge of the Company, the facilities and properties owned, leased or operated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Properties”) do not contain any Materials of Environmental Concern in amounts or concentrations which (i) constitute a violation of, or (ii) could give rise to liability under, any Environmental Law.

(b) To the best knowledge of the Company, the Properties and all operations at the Properties are in compliance, and have in the last five years been in compliance, in all material respects with all applicable Environmental Laws, and there is no contamination at, under or about the Properties or violation of any Environmental Law with respect to the Properties or the business operated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Business”).

(c) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice of violation, alleged violation, non-compliance, liability or potential liability regarding environmental matters or compliance with Environmental Laws with regard to any of the Properties or the Business, nor does the Company have knowledge or reason to believe that any such notice will be received or is being threatened.

(d) To the best knowledge of the Company, Materials of Environmental Concern have not been transported or disposed of from the Properties in violation of, or in a manner or to a location which could give rise to liability under, any Environmental Law, nor have any Materials of Environmental Concern been generated, treated, stored or disposed of at, on or under any of the Properties in violation of, or in a manner that could give rise to liability under, any applicable Environmental Law.

(e) No judicial proceeding or governmental or administrative action is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, under any Environmental Law to which the Company or any Subsidiary is or will be named as a party with respect to the Properties or the Business, 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 the Business.

(f) To the best knowledge of the Company, there has been no release or threat of release of Materials of Environmental Concern at or from the Properties, or arising from or related to the operations of the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the Properties or otherwise in connection with the Business, in violation of or in amounts or in a manner that could give rise to liability under Environmental Laws.

3.11 Purpose of Loans. This Agreement, and/or the proceeds of the Loans, will be used (i) for the Company’s general corporate and working capital purposes and (ii) to support commercial paper, if any.

3.12 Restrictions on Subsidiaries. There are no restrictions on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which prohibit or otherwise restrict the transfer of cash or other assets (x) between the Company and any of its Subsidiaries or (y) between any Subsidiaries of the Company, other than (i) applicable restrictions of law imposed on Subsidiaries by the jurisdictions in which such Subsidiaries are incorporated or do business or (ii) other restrictions which, in the aggregate, do not encumber a material amount of cash or other assets.

SECTION 7. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

7.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints JPMCB as the Administrative Agent of such Lender under this Agreement, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes JPMCB, as the Administrative Agent for such Lender, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. None of the Syndication Agent, the Co-Documentation Agent or the Co-Lead Arrangers shall have any duties under this Agreement or assume (or be deemed to have assumed) any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

7.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

7.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement (except for its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Company or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or for any failure of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance by the Company of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement (other than the receipt by the Administrative Agent of the documents specified in subsection 4.1), or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Company.

7.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Loan as the owner thereof for all purposes unless (a) a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent and (b) the Administrative Agent shall have received the written agreement of such assignee to be bound hereby as fully and to the same extent as if such assignee were an original Lender party hereto, in each case in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of the Majority Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

7.5 Notice of Default . The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Company referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Majority Lenders; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

7.6 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representation or warranty to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Company shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent 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 appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Company and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Company. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Company which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

7.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so), ratably according to their respective Commitment Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this subsection, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this subsection shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

7.8 Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

7.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 15 days’ notice to the Company and the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement, then the Majority Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor Administrative Agent for the Lenders, which successor (so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists under subsection 6(a) or (e)) shall be approved by the Company, whereupon such successor shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this subsection shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

(b) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender, or any other interest of such Lender hereunder. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof and the Company and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. No Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the Participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the scheduled maturity of any Loan in which such Participant is participating, or reduce the stated rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Facility Fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of interest at the increased post-default rate) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the Participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without consent of any Participant if the Participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof) or (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Company of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement. In the case of any such participation, the Participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement (the Participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the Participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Company hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation, provided that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of subsections 2.15, 2.16 and 8.5 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time; provided that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such subsections than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred.

(c) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell, pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement, to (i) any Lender or any affiliate thereof all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) with the consent of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default under subsection 6(a) or (e) is then in existence, the Company (in each case, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to one or more additional banks or financial institutions (“Purchasing Lenders”), all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in the case of the aforementioned clause (ii), in minimum amounts of $10,000,000 (or, if less, the entire amount of such Lender’s obligations) so long as, in the case of each of the aforementioned clauses (i) and (ii) hereof, after giving effect thereto, the remaining Commitment of such selling Lender shall not be less than $10,000,000, unless such selling Lender has not retained any Commitment hereunder, and a Commitment Transfer Supplement has been executed by such Purchasing Lender, such transferor Lender (and, in the case of a Purchasing Lender that is not then a Lender or an affiliate thereof, by the Company and the Administrative Agent), and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the Transfer Effective Date specified in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, (x) the Purchasing Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with a Commitment as set forth therein, and (y) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of a Commitment Transfer Supplement covering all or the remaining portion of a transferor Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such transferor Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). Such Commitment Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of Commitment Percentages arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in subsection 8.2 a copy of each Commitment Transfer Supplement delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loan recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon its receipt of a Commitment Transfer Supplement executed by a transferor Lender and a Purchasing Lender (and, in the case of a Purchasing Lender that is not then a Lender or an affiliate thereof, by the Company and the Administrative Agent), together with payment to the Administrative Agent (by the transferor Lender or the Purchasing Lender, as agreed between them) of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 for each Purchasing Lender listed in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Commitment Transfer Supplement, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the Company.

(f) The Company authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchasing Lender (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Company and its Affiliates which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Company in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Company and its Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement; in each case subject to subsection 8.14.

(g) At the time of each assignment pursuant to this subsection 8.6 to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder and which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for Federal income tax purposes, the respective assignee Lender shall provide to the Company and the Administrative Agent the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable, a 2.17 Certificate) described in subsection 2.17.

(h) Nothing herein shall prohibit any Lender from pledging or assigning any of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, any right to payment of principal and interest under any Loan) to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable laws.

8.7 Adjustments; Set-off. (a) Each Lender agrees that if any Lender (a “benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Committed Rate Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in clause (e) of Section 6, or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Committed Rate Loans, or interest thereon (except as expressly provided in subsection 2.18), such benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Committed Rate Loan, 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, however, 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. The Company agrees that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Committed Rate Loan 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.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off), each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Company, any such notice being expressly waived by the Company to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, to setoff and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Company, or any part thereof in such amounts as such Lender may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of the Company to such Lender hereunder and claims of every nature and description of such Lender against the Company, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Loans or under any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein, as such Lender may elect, whether or not such Lender has made any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. The aforesaid right of set-off may be exercised by such Lender against the Company or against any trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of the Company, or against anyone else claiming through or against the Company or any such trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact that such right of set-off shall not have been exercised by such Lender prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Company and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

8.8 Table of Contents and Section Headings. The table of contents and the Section and subsection headings herein are intended for convenience only and shall be ignored in construing this Agreement.

8.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Company and the Administrative Agent.

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

8.11 Integration. This Agreement represents the agreement of the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent, the Company or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein.

8.12 Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

8.13 Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process. All judicial proceedings brought against the Company with respect to this Agreement may be brought in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company accepts, for itself and in connection with its properties, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any final judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement from which no appeal has been taken or is available. The Company irrevocably agrees that all process in any such proceedings in any such court may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to it at its address set forth in subsection 8.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto, such service being hereby acknowledged by the Company to be effective and binding service in every respect. Each of the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders irrevocably waives any objection, including, without limitation, any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in any such jurisdiction. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of any Lender to bring proceedings against the Company in the court of any other jurisdiction.

8.14 Confidentiality. Each of the Lenders agrees that it will maintain in confidence, and will not disclose without the prior consent of the Company (other than to its employees, auditors or counsel or to another Lender or to any affiliate of a Lender) any information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries which is furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein and which is designated by the Company to the Lenders in writing as confidential, except that any Lender may disclose any such information (a) as has become generally available to the public other than by a breach of this subsection 8.14, (b) as may be required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or federal regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender (or any of its affiliates) or to the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors, (c) as may be required or appropriate in connection with any litigation with respect to this Agreement or in response to any summons or subpoena or any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender, or (d) to any prospective Transferee in connection with any contemplated transfer pursuant to subsection 8.6, provided that such prospective Transferee shall have been made aware of this subsection 8.14 and shall have agreed to be bound by its provisions as if it were a party to this Agreement.

8.15 Acknowledgments. The Company hereby acknowledges that:

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of the Agreement;

(b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to the Company arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and the relationship between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, in connection herewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

8.16 Waivers Of Jury Trial. The Company, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive trial by jury in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and for any counterclaim therein.
