WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested the Lenders severally to commit to lend to the Borrower up to $100,000,000 on a revolving basis to fund fees and expenses associated with this Agreement (as defined below) and for general corporate purposes; and

WHEREAS, the Lenders are willing to make such loans, on the terms and conditions provided herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

Section 1.01 Definitions.

(a) Terms Generally. The definitions ascribed to terms in this Agreement apply equally to both the singular and plural forms of such terms. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall be deemed to include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include”, “includes” and “including” shall be interpreted as if followed by the phrase “without limitation”. The phrase “individually or in the aggregate” shall be deemed general in scope and not to refer to any specific Section or clause of this Agreement. All references herein to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules shall be deemed references to Articles and Sections of, and Exhibits and Schedules to, this Agreement unless the context shall otherwise require. The table of contents, headings and captions herein shall not be given effect in interpreting or construing the provisions of this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all references to “dollars” or “$” shall be deemed references to the lawful money of the United States of America.

(b) Accounting Terms. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the term “consolidated” and all other terms of an accounting nature shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time; provided, however, that, for purposes of determining compliance with any covenant set forth in Article VII, such terms shall be construed in accordance with GAAP as in effect on the date of this Agreement, applied on a basis consistent with the construction thereof applied in preparing the Borrower’s audited financial statements referred to in Section 5.01(k). If

there shall occur a change in GAAP which but for the foregoing proviso would affect the computation used to determine compliance with any covenant set forth in Article VII, the Borrower and the Lenders agree to negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon an amendment to this Agreement that will permit compliance with such covenant to be determined by reference to GAAP as so changed while affording the Lenders the protection intended to be afforded by such covenant prior to such change (it being understood, however, that such covenant shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its existing terms unless and until such amendment shall become effective).

Promptly following receipt of an Increase Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof. If one or more of such Proposed Lenders shall have unconditionally agreed to such Increase Request in a writing delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (each such existing Lender and New Lender being hereinafter referred to as an “Incremental Lender”), then: (1) each such Incremental Lender which shall then be an existing Lender shall have its Commitment increased by the amount set forth in such Increase Request, and (2) each such New Lender shall be and become a “Lender” hereunder having a Commitment equal to the amount set forth

The decision to agree or withhold agreement to any Termination Date extension shall be at the

sole discretion of each Lender. The Commitment of any Declining Lender shall terminate on the Termination Date in effect prior to giving effect to any such extension (such Termination Date being called the “Existing Termination Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(e), the Borrower shall have the right, with the prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) of the Administrative Agent, at any time prior to the Existing Termination Date, to replace a Declining Lender with a Lender or Eligible Institution that will agree to a request for the extension of the Termination Date then in effect, and any such Replacement Lender shall for all purposes constitute a Consenting Lender, provided, however, that in each such case (i) each such Replacement Lender shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent a supplement to this Agreement, in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit J, providing for its Commitment, and (ii) the Declining Lender shall assign, in accordance with Section 10.03(a), all or part, as the case may be, of its Loans, Commitment, Revolving Credit Note and other rights and obligations under this Agreement and all other Credit Documents to such Replacement Lender, in exchange for payment of the principal of, and interest accrued to the date of such payment on, Loans owing to such Declining Lender and any accrued Commitment Fees owing to such Declining Lender; and upon such payments, the obligations of such Declining Lender hereunder in respect of its Commitment shall, by the provisions hereof, be released and discharged and such Replacement Lender shall be and become a “Lender” hereunder having a Commitment equal to the amount set forth therefor in such supplement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no extension of the Termination Date pursuant to this paragraph shall become effective unless (i) the Administrative Agent shall have received documents consistent with those delivered with respect to the Lender under Section 6.01(c), (d), (e)(ii) (it being understood and agreed that the date referred to in Section 6.01(e)(ii) shall refer to the date of the then most recently delivered audited financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(i)), (e)(iii), (e)(iv) and (e)(v), giving effect to such extension and (ii) on the date on which the Required Lenders shall have agreed to an extension request, (A) the conditions set forth in Section 6.02(b) shall be satisfied and (B) the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.01 shall be true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent that any representation or warranty speaks as of a date certain), except for any representation or warranty that is qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse Effect (in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects), and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate with respect to the matters referred to in clauses (A) and (B) dated such date and executed by a Responsible Officer. Unless a Declining Lender ceases to be a Lender hereunder pursuant to the above provisions in this Section 2.03(e), the Borrower hereby agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, for distribution to the Declining Lenders, all of the outstanding Loans made by the Declining Lenders, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all accrued fees and other amounts payable to or for the accounts of the Declining Lenders on the Existing Termination Date, and, upon each Declining Lender’s receipt of such amounts, such Declining Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder.

Section 2.04 Repayment.

All Loans shall be repaid, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on the Termination Date.

Section 2.05 Optional Prepayment.

The Borrower may prepay Loans bearing interest on the same basis and having the same Interest Periods, if any, by giving notice to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 P.M., New York time, on the third Business Day preceding the proposed date of prepayment, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or not later than 1:00 P.M., New York time, on the Business Day of the proposed prepayment, in the case of ABR Loans. Each such prepayment of Eurodollar Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $2,500,000 or in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if the aggregate amount of outstanding Eurodollar Loans is less than $2,500,000, then all of such lesser amount), and each prepayment of ABR Loans shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if the aggregate amount of outstanding ABR Loans is less than $1,000,000, then all of such lesser amount), and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, together with the amounts required by Section 4.03, accrued interest on the principal being prepaid to the date of prepayment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, prepaid Loans may be reborrowed.

Section 2.06 Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i) Commitment Fees shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.07;

(ii) the Commitment and Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 11.06); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification that would (A) increase the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender or subject such Defaulting Lender to any additional obligations, (B) reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Loans made by such Defaulting Lender or (C) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loans made by such Defaulting Lender (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include forbearing from exercising remedies as a result thereof), shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender; and

(iii) any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would

otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent, in the following order of priority: (A) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (B) second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists) to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, (C) third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender in respect of any Loans under this Agreement, and (D) fourth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement.

(b) The Borrower may, by ten Business Days’ notice in writing to the Administrative Agent and a Defaulting Lender, (i) request such Defaulting Lender to cooperate with the Borrower in obtaining a Replacement Lender for such Defaulting Lender; (ii) request the non-Defaulting Lenders to acquire and assume all or a portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Loans and Commitment, but none of such Lenders shall be obligated to do so; or (iii) propose a Replacement Lender. If a Replacement Lender shall be accepted by the Administrative Agent or one or more of the non-Defaulting Lenders shall agree to acquire and assume all or part of a Defaulting Lender’s Loans and Commitment, then such Defaulting Lender shall assign, in accordance with Section 10.03(a), all or part, as the case may be, of its Loans, Commitment, Revolving Credit Note and other rights and obligations under this Agreement and all other Credit Documents to such Replacement Lender or non-Defaulting Lenders, as the case may be, in exchange for payment of the principal of, and interest accrued to the date of such payment on, Loans owing to such Defaulting Lender and any accrued Commitment Fees owing to such Defaulting Lender; and upon such payments, the obligations of such Defaulting Lender hereunder in respect of its Commitment shall, by the provisions hereof, be released and discharged; provided, however, that such Defaulting Lender’s rights under Sections 4.03, 4.04 and 4.06, and its obligations under Section 9.06 shall survive such release and discharge as to matters occurring prior to such date; provided further, however, that such assignment shall be on the terms and conditions set forth in Section 10.03(a). If the Replacement Lender and the non-Defaulting Lenders shall only be willing to acquire less than all of a Defaulting Lender’s outstanding Loans and Commitment, the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not terminate, but shall be reduced proportionately, and such Defaulting Lender shall continue to be a “Lender” hereunder with a reduced Commitment and Pro Rata Share. Upon the effective date of such assignment, such Replacement Lender shall, if not already a Lender, become a “Lender” for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

(c) The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

(d) In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans ratably in accordance with its Commitments and such Lender shall no longer be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided further that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE III

INTEREST AND FEES

Section 3.01 Interest Rate Determination; Conversion.

(a) Except to the extent that the Borrower shall request, in a Borrowing Request, in a Conversion Request or in a written election pursuant to Section 3.03(b), that Loans (or portions thereof) bear interest as Eurodollar Loans, Loans shall bear interest as ABR Loans.

(b) The Borrower may request, by giving a Conversion Request to the Administrative Agent, not later than 1:00 P.M., New York time, on the third Business Day prior to the requested Conversion Date, that all or portions of the outstanding Loans, in the aggregate principal amount of $2,500,000 or in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, in the case of Loans being converted to or continued as Eurodollar Loans, and in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Loans is less than $1,000,000, then all such lesser amount), in the case of ABR Loans, bear interest from and after the Conversion Date as either ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans; provided, however, that during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default that shall have occurred, no Loan (or portion thereof) may be converted into Eurodollar Loans. Upon receipt, the Administrative Agent forthwith shall give notice to each Lender of the substance of each Conversion Request. Upon payment by the Borrower of the amounts, if any, required by Section 4.03, on the Conversion Date the Loans or portions thereof as to which the Conversion Request was made shall commence to accrue interest in the manner selected by the Borrower therein.

Section 3.02 Interest on ABR Loans.

Each ABR Loan shall bear interest from the date made until the date repaid, or (if converted into a Eurodollar Loan) to (but excluding) the first day of any relevant Interest Period, as the case may be, payable in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter of each year, commencing with the first such date after the Effective Date, and on the date such Loan is repaid, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Applicable Margin and (ii) the Alternate Base Rate in effect from time to time, which rate shall change as and when said Applicable Margin or Alternate Base Rate shall change.

Section 3.03 Interest on Eurodollar Loans.

(a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest from the date made until the date repaid or converted to an ABR Loan, payable in arrears, with respect to Interest Periods of three months or less, on the last day of such Interest Period, and with respect to Interest Periods longer than three months, the respective dates that fall every three months after the commencement of such Interest Period and on the last day of such Interest Period, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Applicable Margin and (ii) the LIBOR rate for such Interest Period.

(b) Each Eurodollar Loan shall become an ABR Loan at the end of the Interest Period therefor, unless (i) there shall not have occurred and be continuing a Default or Event of Default and (ii) not later than the third Business Day prior to the last day of such Interest Period, (x) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable written election of the subsequent Interest Period, in which case such Eurodollar Loan shall remain outstanding as a Eurodollar Loan, or (y) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a Conversion Request with respect thereto, in which case such Eurodollar Loan shall be converted in accordance with Section 3.01(b).

(c) If, during any period, a Lender shall be required to maintain reserves against “Eurocurrency Liabilities” in accordance with Federal Reserve Board Regulation D (or any successor regulation), the Borrower shall pay additional interest during such period on each outstanding Eurodollar Loan of such Lender (contemporaneously with each interest payment due thereon commencing with the first such payment due at least five Business Days after receipt of the notice referred to in the next sentence) at a rate per annum up to but not exceeding the marginal rate determined by the following formula:


		LIBOR		- LIBOR
		l -Eurodollar Reserve Percentage

Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, upon becoming aware that the Borrower may be required to make a payment of additional interest to such Lender. When requesting payment pursuant to this Section 3.03(c), a Lender shall provide to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent,

a certificate, signed by an officer of such Lender setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis of such claim, the amount required to be paid by the Borrower to such Lender and the computations made by such Lender to determine such amount. Absent demonstrable error, such certificate shall be binding as to the amounts of additional interest owing in respect of such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans. Any Lender that gives notice under this Section 3.03(c) shall promptly withdraw such notice (by written notice of withdrawal given to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) whenever such Lender is no longer required to maintain such reserves or the circumstances giving rise to such notice shall otherwise cease.

Section 3.04 Interest on Overdue Amounts.

All overdue amounts (including principal, interest and fees) hereunder shall bear interest, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) 2% and (ii) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the rate then applicable until the end of the current Interest Period therefor, and thereafter the rate of interest applicable to ABR Loans, changing as and when such rate shall change, and in the case of ABR Loans, the rate of interest applicable thereto, changing as and when such rate shall change.

Section 3.05 Day Counts.

Interest on ABR Loans shall be calculated on the basis of (a) a 365- or, if applicable, a 366-day year for the actual number of days elapsed for so long as interest is determined pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate” and (b) a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed for so long as interest is determined based on clause (ii) or clause (iii) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”. Interest on all other Loans, and all fees shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

Section 3.06 Maximum Interest Rate.

(a) Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Borrower to pay interest at a rate exceeding the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. Neither this Section nor Section 11.01 is intended to limit the rate of interest payable for the account of any Lender to the maximum rate permitted by the laws of the State of New York (or any other applicable law) if a higher rate is permitted with respect to such Lender by supervening provisions of U.S. Federal law.

(b) If the amount of interest payable for the account of any Lender on any interest payment date in respect of the immediately preceding interest computation period, computed pursuant to this Article III, would exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law to be charged by such Lender, the amount of interest payable for its account on such interest payment date shall automatically be reduced to such maximum permissible amount.

(c) If the amount of interest payable for the account of any Lender in respect of any interest computation period is reduced pursuant to Section 3.06(b) and the amount of interest payable for its account in respect of any subsequent interest computation period would be less than the maximum amount permitted by law to be charged by such Lender, then the amount of interest payable for its account in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall be automatically increased to such maximum permissible amount; provided that at no time shall the aggregate amount by which interest paid for the account of any Lender has been increased pursuant to this Section 3.06(c) exceed the aggregate amount by which interest paid for its account has theretofore been reduced pursuant to Section 3.06(b).

Section 3.07 Commitment Fees.

The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, on the last day of each calendar quarter of each year, commencing with the first such day after the Effective Date (or such later date on which such Lender becomes a Lender), and on the Termination Date (or other date on which the Commitment shall terminate) with respect to such Lender, a fee (the “Commitment Fee”) computed by applying (i) on each day on which the applicable Pricing Level set forth below is in effect, the percentage per annum set forth below adjacent to such Pricing Level on such day during the then-ending quarter (or shorter period ending with the Termination Date or any other date on which the Commitment of such Lender shall terminate) to (ii) the amount of such Lender’s Unused Commitment on such day:

DISBURSEMENT AND PAYMENT

Section 4.01 Disbursement.

(a) Each Loan shall be made by the relevant Lender from such Lender’s branch or affiliate identified as its Applicable Lending Office.

(b) The failure of any Lender to make any Loan to be made by it on the Borrowing Date therefor shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make its Loan or Loans on such date, but neither any Lender nor the Administrative Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan to be made by such other Lender.

(c) The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, advance on behalf of any Lender the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made on a Borrowing Date, unless such Lender shall have notified the Administrative Agent prior to such Borrowing Date that it does not intend to make such Loan on such date. If the Administrative Agent makes any such advance, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover the amount so advanced on demand from the Lender on whose behalf such advance was made and, if such Lender does not pay the Administrative Agent the amount of such advance on demand, the Borrower agrees promptly to repay such amount to the Administrative Agent. Until such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent by such Lender or the Borrower, such advance shall be deemed for all purposes to be a Loan made on such Borrowing Date by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover from the Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on the amount advanced by it for each day from the Borrowing Date therefor until repaid to the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate until the third Business Day after the date of the advance and, thereafter, at the rate per annum equal to the relevant rate on Loans made on the relevant Borrowing Date.

Section 4.02 Method and Time of Payments; Sharing among Lenders.

(a) All funds received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders in respect of payments made by the Borrower under, or from any other Person on account of, any Credit Document shall be distributed forthwith by the Administrative Agent among the Lenders, in like funds as received, ratably in proportion to their respective interests therein. Each payment of Commitment Fees and each reduction of the Total Commitment shall be apportioned among the Lenders in proportion to each Lender’s Pro Rata Share.

(b) All payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made without setoff or counterclaim to the Administrative Agent, for its account or for the account of the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto, as the case may be, in dollars and in immediately available

funds at the office of the Administrative Agent prior to 3:00 P.M., New York time, on the date when due; provided, however, that the Borrower shall have setoff rights with respect to any Defaulting Lender with the application of any amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender to be administered by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.06(a)(iii).

(c) Whenever any payment from the Borrower shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date of payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment from the Borrower is due that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, but shall not be obligated to, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have so made such payment, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

(e) If any Lender shall receive from the Borrower or any other Person any amount owing under any Credit Document (whether received pursuant to the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien, realization upon any security held for or appropriated to such obligation or otherwise) other than in proportion to such Lender’s ratable share thereof, then such Lender shall purchase from each other Lender a participating interest in so much of the other Lenders’ Loans as shall be necessary in order that each Lender shall share such payment with each of the other Lenders in proportion to each Lender’s ratable share; provided that nothing herein contained shall obligate any Lender to apply any set-off, banker’s lien or collateral security first to the obligations of the Borrower hereunder if the Borrower is obligated to such Lender pursuant to other loans or notes. If any purchasing Lender shall be required to return any excess payment received by it, such participation shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such return, but without interest.

Section 4.03 Compensation for Losses.

(a) If (i) the Borrower makes a prepayment, or a Conversion Date occurs, other than on the last day of the relevant Interest Period, (ii) the Borrower fails to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, (iii) the Borrower revokes any Borrowing Request for Eurodollar Loans, (iv) Eurodollar Loans (or portions thereof) are converted into ABR Loans pursuant to Section 4.05 at any time other than at the end of an Interest Period or (v) Loans (or portions thereof) shall become or be declared to be due prior to the

scheduled maturity thereof, then the Borrower shall pay to each Lender an amount that will compensate such Lender for any loss (other than lost profit) or premium or penalty incurred by such Lender as a result of such prepayment, conversion, declaration or revocation in respect of funds obtained for the purpose of making or maintaining such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans, or any portion thereof. Such compensation shall include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so paid or prepaid, or not borrowed or converted, for the period from the date of such payment or prepayment or conversion or failure to borrow to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure to borrow) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Eurodollar Loan provided for herein (excluding, however, any Applicable Margin included therein) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the London interbank deposit market.

(b) In connection with a demand for payment pursuant to this Section 4.03, a Lender shall provide to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a certificate, signed by an officer of such Lender, setting forth in reasonable detail the amount required to be paid by the Borrower to such Lender and the computations made by such Lender to determine such amount. In the absence of demonstrable error, such certificate shall be conclusive as to the amount so required to be paid.

Section 4.04 Withholding and Additional Costs.

(a) Withholding. (i) To the extent permitted by law, all payments under this Agreement and under the Revolving Credit Notes (including payments of principal and interest) shall be payable to each Lender free and clear of any and all present and future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, withholdings, fees, liabilities and similar charges other than Excluded Taxes (collectively, “Taxes”). If any Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from any amount payable under this Agreement, then the amount payable under this Agreement shall be increased to the amount which, after deduction from such increased amount of all Taxes required to be withheld or deducted therefrom, will yield to such Lender the amount stated to be payable under this Agreement. The Borrower shall also hold each Lender harmless and indemnify it for any stamp or other taxes with respect to the preparation, execution, delivery, recording, performance or enforcement of the Credit Documents (all of which shall be included within “Taxes”). If any of the Taxes specified in this Section 4.04(a) are paid by any Lender, the Borrower shall, upon demand of such Lender, promptly reimburse such Lender for such payments, together with any interest, penalties and expenses incurred in connection therewith; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to reimburse any Lender for any penalties incurred or caused by the failure or delay on the part of such Lender to pay any of the Taxes specified in this Section 4.04(a). The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent certificates or other valid vouchers for all Taxes or other charges

deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by the Borrower hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall be entitled, to the extent required to do so by law, to deduct or withhold (and shall not be required to make payments as otherwise required by this Section 4.04 on account of such deductions or withholdings) income or other similar taxes imposed by the United States of America from interest, fees or other amounts payable hereunder for the account of any Lender other than a Lender (A) that is a U.S. Person for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (B) that has the Prescribed Forms on file with the Borrower for the applicable year to the extent deduction or withholding of such taxes is not required as a result of such filing of such Prescribed Forms; provided that, if the Borrower shall so deduct or withhold any such taxes, the Borrower shall provide a statement to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, setting forth the amount of such taxes so deducted or withheld, the applicable rate and any other information or documentation which such Lender may reasonably request for assisting such Lender to obtain any allowable credits or deductions for the taxes so deducted or withheld in the jurisdiction or jurisdictions in which such Lender is subject to tax.

(ii) Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) agrees to deliver to the Borrower 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 Section 10.03 (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) if the Lender is a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E or Form W-8ECI (or successor forms) or any other form (together with supplementary documentation) prescribed by applicable laws (collectively, the “Prescribed Forms”) certifying such Lender’s entitlement to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Revolving Credit Note, 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-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E or Form W-8ECI as set forth in clause (i) above, or (x) a certificate in substantially the form of Schedule II (any such certificate, a “Schedule II Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E (or successor form) certifying such Lender’s entitlement to an exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement and under any Revolving Credit Note. In addition, each Lender agrees that it will deliver upon the Borrower’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 and any Revolving Credit Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.04(a), but subject to the immediately

succeeding sentence, (x) the Borrower 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 which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent that such Lender has not provided to the Borrower U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms that establish a complete exemption from such deduction or withholding and (y) the Borrower shall not be obligated pursuant to this Section 4.04(a) to gross-up payments to be made to a Lender in respect of Taxes imposed by the United States if (I) such Lender has not provided to the Borrower the Internal Revenue Service Forms required to be provided to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.04(a) or (II) in the case of a payment, other than interest, to a Lender described in clause (ii) above, to the extent that such Forms do not establish a complete exemption from withholding of such Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding sentence or elsewhere in this Section 4.04, the Borrower agrees to pay additional amounts and to indemnify each Lender in the manner set forth in this Section 4.04(a) (without regard to the identity of the jurisdiction requiring the deduction or withholding) in respect of any amounts deducted or withheld by it as described in the immediately preceding sentence as a result of any changes after the Effective Date in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting or withholding of Taxes.

(b) Additional Costs. Subject to Sections 4.04(c), (d) and (e):

(i) Without duplication of any amounts payable described in Section 3.03(c) or 4.03(a), if after the date hereof, any Regulatory Change shall (1) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against any Lender’s Commitment or Loans, (2) subject the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Excluded Taxes (other than Taxes measured by the overall capital or net worth of the Administrative Agent or such Lender) and (C) Other Connection Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or (3) impose on any Lender (or such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office) any other condition regarding this Agreement, its Commitment or the Loans and the result of any event referred to in clause (1), (2) or (3) shall be to increase the cost to such Lender (or such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office) of maintaining its Commitment or any Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender (which increase in cost shall be calculated in accordance with such Lender’s reasonable averaging and attribution methods) by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, then, upon demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on demand, an amount equal to such increase in cost; and

(ii) Without duplication of any amounts payable described in Section 3.03(c) or 4.03(a), if any Lender shall have determined that any Regulatory Change

relating to capital adequacy or liquidity (including any Regulatory Change made prior to the date hereof but not effective until after the date hereof), or compliance by such Lender (or such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office) with any Regulatory Change regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law), has or would have the effect of, reducing the rate of return on capital for such Lender (or such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office) or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of its obligations under this Agreement to a level below that which such Lender (or such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office) or such corporation could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s (or such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office) or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time, upon demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, on demand, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender (or such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office) or such corporation for such reduction.

(c) Lending Office Designations. Before making any demand for payment pursuant to this Section 4.04, each Lender shall, if possible, designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(d) Certificate, Etc. In connection with any demand for payment pursuant to this Section 4.04, a Lender shall provide to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a certificate, signed by an officer of such Lender, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such demand, the amount required to be paid by the Borrower to such Lender and the computations made by such Lender to determine such amount.

(e) Limitations; Delay in Requests. The Borrower shall not be obligated to compensate a Lender for any amount under Section 4.04(b) arising or occurring more than (i) 90 days prior to the date on which an office of such Lender primarily responsible for the administration of this Agreement obtains actual knowledge that such Lender is entitled to such compensation or (ii) nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(f) FATCA. If a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), to the extent reasonably possible, such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative

Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 4.04(f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(g) Cooperation. The Borrower agrees, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, promptly to execute, deliver and complete such forms, certificates and other documents, make such filings and otherwise cooperate with the Administrative Agent or such Lender, in each case as the Administrative Agent or such Lender may reasonably request from time to time, in order for the Administrative Agent or such Lender to establish that the Administrative Agent or such Lender is not subject to, or is entitled to a reduction in the amount of or exemption from, any deduction, withholding or other Taxes with respect to any payments to the Administrative Agent or such Lender for principal, interest, fees or other amounts under the Credit Documents, including United Kingdom HM Revenue & Customs’ Form DTTP2.

Section 4.05 Funding Impracticable.

If at any time any Lender shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive) that the making or maintenance of all or any part of such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans has been made impracticable or unlawful because of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law or guideline or interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or with any request or directive of such body (whether or not having the effect of law) or because U.S. dollar deposits in the amount and requested maturity of such Eurodollar Loans are not available to such Lender in the London Eurodollar interbank market, then the Administrative Agent, upon notification to it of such determination by such Lender, shall forthwith advise the other Lenders and the Borrower thereof. Upon such date as shall be specified in such notice and until such time as the Administrative Agent, upon notification to it by such Lender, shall notify the Borrower and the other Lenders that the circumstances specified by it in such notice no longer apply, (i) notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, such Eurodollar Loans shall, automatically and without requirement of further notice, or any payment pursuant to Section 4.03 or 4.04, by the Borrower, be converted to ABR Loans, and (ii) the obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended, and, if the Borrower shall request in a Borrowing Request or Conversion Request that the Lenders make a Eurodollar Loan, the Loan requested to be made by such Lender shall instead be made as an ABR Loan.

Section 4.06 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waivers.

(a) The Borrower agrees, whether or not any Loan is made, to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent all of its reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation, negotiation, execution, closing and syndication of, the Credit Documents and the administration of the credit facility established under the Credit Documents and any amendment, supplement or modification thereto (whether or not executed or effective) and any documents prepared in connection therewith, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and the maintenance of an electronic platform (including without limitation charges of Debtdomain or any similar electronic information platform)) or information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Joint Bookrunners or any Lender (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel to the Administrative Agent, unless (and to the extent) conflicts of interest require the use of more than one counsel) in connection with the enforcement of, and the protection of their respective rights under, any provision of any Credit Document or any amendment or supplement to this Agreement (including all such fees and expenses incurred during any “workout” or restructuring in respect of the Obligations and during any legal proceeding, including any bankruptcy proceeding).

(c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Joint Bookrunners, each of the Lenders and each of their respective Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including counsel fees and expenses, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated by any Credit Document, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations under any Credit Document or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by any Credit Document, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. In connection with any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement by more than one Indemnitee, all such Indemnitees shall be represented by the same legal counsel selected by the Indemnitees; provided that if such legal counsel determines in good faith that representing all such Indemnitees is reasonably likely to result in a conflict of interest under laws or ethical

principles applicable to such legal counsel or that a defense or counterclaim is available to an Indemnitee that is not available to all such Indemnitees, then to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid such a conflict of interest or to permit unqualified assertion of such a defense or counterclaim, each Indemnitee shall be entitled to separate representation.

(d) All amounts due under this Section 4.06 shall be payable in immediately available funds upon written demand therefor.

(e) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan, or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in paragraph (c) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

Section 4.07 Survival.

The provisions of Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.06 and 9.06, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the reduction or termination of any Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of any Credit Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Lenders.

Section 4.08 Replacement of a Lender.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any Lender shall request compensation pursuant to Section 4.04(b)(i) or (ii) then, in each case, the Borrower may require that such Lender transfer all of its right, title and interest under this Agreement and such Lender’s Revolving Credit Notes to one or more of the other Lenders or any other lender identified by the Borrower and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent as a Replacement Lender which is willing to assume all of the obligations of such Lender, for consideration equal to the outstanding principal amount of such Lender’s Loans, together with interest thereon to the date of such transfer and all other amounts payable under the Credit Documents to such Lender on or prior to the date of such transfer (including, without limitation, any fees accrued hereunder and any amounts which would be payable under Section 4.03 as if all of such Lender’s Loans were being prepaid in full on such date). Subject to the execution and delivery of new notes, an Assignment and Acceptance, and such other documents as such Lender may

reasonably require, such Replacement Lender shall be a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements of the Borrower contained in Sections 4.04 and 4.06 (without duplication of any payments made to such Lender by the Borrower or the Replacement Lender) shall survive for the benefit of any Lender replaced under this Section 4.08 with respect to the time prior to such replacement.

Section 9.03 Limitation of Liabilities.

Each of the Lenders and the Borrower agree that (i) neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them hereunder except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final and nonappealable ruling by a court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in good faith in reliance upon the advice of counsel, independent public accountants or other experts selected by the Administrative Agent, and (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement or other document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed and/or sent by the proper Persons.

Neither the Administrative Agent, nor any of its Affiliates, officers or employees has any responsibility for, gives any guaranty in respect of, nor makes any representation to the Lenders as to, (i) the condition, financial or otherwise, of the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof or the truth of any representation or warranty given or made in this Agreement, or in connection herewith or (ii) the validity, execution, sufficiency, effectiveness, construction, adequacy, enforceability or value of this Agreement or any other document or instrument related hereto.

EVIDENCE OF LOANS; TRANSFERS

Section 10.01 Evidence of Loans; Revolving Credit Notes.

The Borrower’s obligation to repay the Loans shall be evidenced by Revolving Credit Notes if requested by each Lender, one such payable to the order of each such Lender. The Revolving Credit Note of each Lender shall (i) be in the principal amount of such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) be dated the Effective Date (or the effective date on which such Lender becomes a Lender hereunder) and (iii) be stated to mature on the Termination Date and bear interest from its date until maturity on the principal balance (from time to time outstanding thereunder) payable at the rates and in the manner provided herein. Each Lender is authorized to indicate upon the grid attached to its Revolving Credit Note all Loans made by it pursuant to this Agreement, interest elections and payments of principal and interest thereon. Such notations shall be presumptive, absent manifest error, as to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans made by such Lender, and interest due thereon, but the failure by any Lender to make such notations or the inaccuracy or incompleteness of any such notations shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Revolving Credit Notes.

Section 10.02 Participations.

(a) Any Lender may at any time grant to one or more financial institutions (but not to a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person, or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its Commitment or any or all of its Loans. In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and, except to the extent such participating interest has been granted pursuant to Section 4.02(e), the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder including the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, that such participation agreement may provide that such Lender will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in clauses (i) through (vi), inclusive, of Section 11.06(b) without the consent of the Participant.

(b) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(c) The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.03 and 4.04(b) (subject to the requirements and limitations in Section 4.04, including the requirements under Section 4.04(a) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.04(a) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.03; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 4.08 as if it were an assignee under Section 10.03; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.04(b), with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to

receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Regulatory Change that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.

(d) To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.04 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.02(e) as though it were a Lender.

Section 10.03 Assignments.

(a) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more financial institutions (but not to a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person, or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each an “Assignee”), other than a Defaulting Lender or a subsidiary thereof or any financial institution who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute a Defaulting Lender or a subsidiary thereof, all, or a proportionate part of all, of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to an instrument, in substantially the form of Exhibit E (an “Assignment and Acceptance”), executed by such Assignee and such transferring Lender, with (and subject to) the signed consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and which consent shall be deemed to have been given if the Borrower has not responded within ten Business Days of its receipt of a written request for such consent) and the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided that (i) each such assignment (other than assignments (x) to its Affiliates or (y) its entire interest) shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 or in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (unless otherwise approved by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), (ii) each assignee shall be an Eligible Institution, and (iii) after giving effect to each such assignment, the Commitment of the assignor (if it has not assigned its entire interest) and of the assignee shall be at least $5,000,000; provided further, that the foregoing consent requirement shall not be applicable in the case of an assignment or other transfer by any Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender or to another Lender; provided further, that any consent of the Borrower otherwise required under this Section shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon execution and delivery of an Assignment and Acceptance and payment by such Assignee to such transferring Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferring Lender and such Assignee and payment by the transferring Lender or the Assignee of an assignment fee of $4,500 (or $7,500, if the transferring Lender is a Defaulting Lender) to the Administrative Agent (unless such fee is waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), such Assignee shall be a Lender party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender with a Commitment as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance, and the transferring Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required.

(b) No Assignee of any transferring Lender’s rights shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.03 or 4.04 than such Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred, unless such transfer is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent or by reason of the provisions of Section 4.04(c) requiring such transferring Lender to designate a different Applicable Lending Office under certain circumstances or at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such payment did not exist.

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

Section 10.04 Certain Pledges.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Revolving Credit Note held by it in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Federal Reserve Board Regulation A (or any successor provision) or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 C.F.R. § 203.14 (or any successor provision), and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law.

All parties hereto, whether as makers, endorsers, or otherwise, severally waive diligence, presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind whatsoever. The failure or forbearance by the holder to exercise any of its rights hereunder in any particular instance shall in no event constitute a waiver thereof.
