Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Revolver Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender shall not have any obligation to acquire a participation in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time such Swingline Loan was made and such Lender shall have notified the Swingline Lender in writing, at least one Business Day prior to the time such Swingline Loan was made, that such Event of Default has occurred and that such Lender will not acquire participations in Swingline Loans made while such Event of Default is continuing.

SECTION 2.06. Letters of Credit. (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance by an Issuing Bank of Letters of Credit in Dollars or in a Foreign Currency for its own account or that of a Subsidiary Borrower, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Applicable Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying which of the Borrowers shall be the account party with respect thereto, the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Applicable Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $200,000,000, (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the total Revolving Commitments, and (iii) the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate amount of all Revolving Loans, Letters of Credit, Swingline Loans and Alternate Currency Loans denominated in Foreign Currency shall not exceed $300,000,000; (iv) the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of all LC Exposure with respect to Letters of Credit issued for the account of Subsidiary Borrowers shall not exceed $100,000,000; and (v) the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate LC Exposure associated with the Letters of Credit issued by the applicable Issuing Bank shall not exceed $75,000,000 without the consent of such Issuing Bank.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Revolver Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Revolver Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Applicable Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Applicable Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.05 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Applicable Borrower fails to make such payment when due, such amount, if denominated in Foreign Currency, shall be converted to Dollars and shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Applicable Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Revolver Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Revolver Percentage of the payment then due from the Applicable Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Applicable Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Applicable Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of set-off against, the Applicable Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Applicable Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Applicable Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Applicable Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Applicable Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.14(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.13(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 51% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 51% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

(k) Existing Letters of Credit. On the Initial Borrowing Date each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a Letter of Credit issued hereunder on such date and governed in all respects by the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including without limitation Section 2.06(d)).

SECTION 2.07. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, Local Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Alternate Currency Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04 and Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.05. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Applicable Borrower or, in the case of Subsidiary Borrowers or Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency, in another account, in each case as designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request and acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, (x) the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation (in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars) or (y) the rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount (in the case of a Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency) or (ii) in the case of the Applicable Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.08. Interest Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing and Term Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type, in the case of Borrowings denominated in Dollars, or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Foreign Currency Borrowings or Swingline Dollar Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election in writing by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type and denominated in the Foreign Currency resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such written Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower.

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

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

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

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

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

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

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing (unless such Borrowing is denominated in a Foreign Currency, in which case such Borrowing shall be continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month’s duration commencing on the last day of such Interest Period). Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing, (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (iii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

SECTION 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Commitments; Increase of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Maturity Date. Unless previously terminated, the Term A Commitments shall terminate upon the earlier of the close of business (New York time) on November 10, 2008 (or, solely with respect to incremental Term A Commitments arising pursuant to Section 2.09(d), upon the making of the related incremental Term A Loans) and the date on which the aggregate amount of the Term A Borrowings made is equal to the Term A Commitment. Unless previously terminated, the Term X Commitments shall terminate upon the making of the Term X Loans on the Initial Borrowing Date. Unless previously terminated, the Term Y Commitments shall terminate upon the making of the Term Y Loans on the Initial Borrowing Date.

(b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.12, the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the total Revolving Commitments.

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments or Term Commitments, as applicable.

(d) The Borrower may, at its option, on up to five occasions, seek to increase the Revolving Commitments and/or the Term A Commitments by up to an aggregate amount of $300,000,000 in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 and in integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall (i) specify (a) the amount of any such increase and (b) whether such increase is in the Revolving Commitments, the Term A Commitments or a combination of any thereof, (ii) if any Indebtedness under the Senior Note Documents is then outstanding, certify that incurrence by the Borrower of Indebtedness under this Agreement in the full amount of the proposed increased Commitments is permitted by the Senior Note Documents, (iii) be delivered at a time when no Default has occurred and is continuing, and (iv) specify the effective date of any Revolving Commitments or Term A Commitments and the effective date of any incremental Term A Loans to be made pursuant thereto. The Borrower may, after giving such notice, offer the increase (which may be declined by any Lender in its sole discretion) in the Commitments on either a ratable basis to the Lenders or on a non pro-rata basis to one or more Lenders and/or to other Lenders or entities reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. No increase in the Commitments shall become effective until the existing or new Lenders extending such incremental Revolving Commitments or Term A Commitments and the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a document in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent pursuant to which each such existing Lender states the amount of its Commitment or Loan increase, each such new Lender becomes a party hereto, states its Commitment or Loan amount and agrees to assume and accept the obligations and rights of a Lender hereunder and the Borrower accepts such incremental Commitments or Loans and certifies that on such date the conditions for a new Loan pursuant to Section 4.03 are satisfied. In the event of an increase in the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section, the Lenders with Revolving Commitments (new or existing) shall accept an assignment from the existing Lenders with Revolving Commitments, and the existing Lenders with Revolving Commitments shall make an assignment to the new or existing Lenders with Revolving Commitments accepting a new or increased Revolving Credit Commitment, of an interest in each then outstanding Revolving Loan, Swingline Loan, Letter of Credit, LC Disbursement and Alternative Currency Loan such that, after giving effect thereto, all Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans, Letters of Credit, LC Disbursements and Alternate Currency Loans are held ratably by the Lenders with Revolving Commitments in proportion to their respective Revolving Commitments. Assignments pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be made in exchange for the principal amount assigned plus accrued and unpaid interest and shall not be subject to the assignment fee set forth in Section 9.04(b)(ii)(C). The Borrower shall make any payments under Section 2.17 resulting from such assignments. In the event of an increase in the Term A Commitments pursuant to this Section, each Lender accepting a portion of such increased Term A Commitments shall, on the effective date of the increase in such Term A Commitments, make a loan to the Borrower in the amount of its portion of such increase. Any such increase of the Revolving Commitments or Term A Commitments shall be subject to receipt by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower of such supplemental opinions, resolutions, certificates and other documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. From and after the making of an incremental Term A Loan or Revolving Loan pursuant to this Section, such Loan shall be deemed a “Term A Loan” or “Revolving Loan”, as applicable, hereunder for all purposes hereof, and shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as each other Term A Loan or Revolving Loan made pursuant to this Agreement.

SECTION 2.10. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Applicable Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each of its Revolving Loans on the Revolving Maturity Date and (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each applicable Lender the unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.11, (iii) to the Alternate Currency Lenders, the then unpaid principal amount of each of its Alternate Currency Loans on the Revolving Maturity Date, and (iv) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of (x) the Revolving Maturity Date and (y) a date that is no more than seven (7) Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers 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.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and 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 Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

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

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

(f) In the event and on such occasion that the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of the Lenders exceeds the aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Lenders, the Borrower immediately shall prepay the Loans in the amount of such excess.

(g) The Administrative Agent will determine the aggregate LC Exposure and the Dollar Equivalent of each Loan (other than Term Loans) on each Exchange Rate Date. If at any time the sum of such amounts exceeds 105% of the aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Lenders, the Borrower shall (or shall cause one or more Subsidiary Borrowers to) immediately prepay the Loans (other than Term Loans) in the amount of such excess. To the extent that, after the prepayment of all Loans (other than Term Loans) an excess of the sum of such amounts over the aggregate Revolving Commitments still exists, the Borrower shall (or shall cause one or more Subsidiary Borrowers to) promptly cash collateralize the Letters of Credit in the manner described in Section 2.06(j) in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

SECTION 2.11. Amortization of Term Loans. (a) Subject to adjustment pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, the Borrower shall repay Term A Borrowings on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter set forth below in the aggregate principal amount indicated (and in addition, to the extent that any incremental Term A Loans shall be made pursuant to Section 2.09(d), in an additional amount equal to the corresponding amount required to be amortized with respect to the other Term A Loans based on the initial aggregate principal amount of such incremental Term A Loans on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter from and including the calendar quarter immediately succeeding the calendar quarter in which such incremental Term A Loans are made):

(i) on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter ending after the calendar quarter in which the Term End Date occurs to and including the eighth such calendar quarter, the Borrower shall make an aggregate payment equal to 2.5% of the aggregate amount of the Term A Loan at the time the Term A Loan Commitment terminated;

(ii) on the last Business Day of each of the ninth through sixteenth calendar quarters next following the calendar quarter in which the Term End Date occurs, the Borrower shall make an aggregate payment equal to 3.75% of the initial aggregate principal amount of the Term A Loan at the time the Term A Loan Commitment terminated;

(iii) on the last Business Day of each of the seventeenth through nineteenth calendar quarters next following the calendar quarter in which the Term End Date occurs, the Borrower shall make an aggregate payment equal to 12.5% of the initial aggregate principal amount of the Term A Loan at the time the Term A Loan Commitment terminated; and

(iv) on the Term A Maturity Date, the Borrower shall pay the entire remaining unpaid principal amount of the Term A Loan.

(b) The Borrower shall repay the entire unpaid principal amount of the Term X Loan in full on the Term X Maturity Date.

(c) Subject to adjustment pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, the Borrower shall repay the Term Y Loan on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter set forth below in the aggregate principal amount indicated:

(i) on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter ending after the calendar quarter in which the Term End Date occurs, to and including the twenty third such calendar quarter, the Borrower shall make an aggregate payment equal to .25% of the initial aggregate amount of the Term Y Loan; and

(ii) on the Term Y Maturity Date, the Borrower shall pay the entire remaining unpaid principal amount of the Term Y Loan.

(d) Any optional or mandatory prepayment of a Term Borrowing of any Class shall be applied (i) first, in direct order of maturity to the scheduled repayments of the Term Borrowings of such Class occurring in the twelve months following the date of such prepayment and (ii) second, ratably to the remaining scheduled repayments of such Borrowings.

SECTION 2.12. Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section.

(b) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan or Alternate Currency Loan, the Swingline Lender or Alternate Currency Lender, as the case may be) by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing (excluding Alternate Currency Loans), not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of Alternate Currency Borrowings, not later than 11:00 a.m. London time, three (or, if so requested by the Alternate Currency Fronting Lender with respect to Alternate Currency Loans in a specified currency, four) Business Days before the date of prepayment, (iii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment or (iv) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time (or in the case of a Swingline Foreign Currency Loan, 12:00 noon, London time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.14. Prepayments shall be applied first, to any ABR Borrowings comprising all or a part of the Class being prepaid and second, if (or once) no ABR Borrowings of such Class remain outstanding, to outstanding Eurocurrency Borrowings of such Class with the shortest Interest Periods remaining.

(c) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary (i) in respect of any Prepayment Event described in clause (a) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event”, the Borrower shall, within ten Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received, prepay first, Term X Borrowings, second, Term Y Borrowings and third, Term A Borrowings and (ii) in respect of any other Prepayment Event described in the definition of the term “Prepayment Event”, the Borrower shall (subject to the following sentence, including the provisos thereto), within ten Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received, prepay first, Term Y Borrowings, second, Term X Borrowings and third, Term A Borrowings. The prepayments required pursuant to this Section 2.12(c) shall be made ratably, in each case in an aggregate amount equal to (i) prior to repayment in full of the Term X Loans and Term Y Loans, 100% of the amount of such Net Proceeds, and (ii) thereafter, the Applicable Prepayment Percentage of the amount of such Net Proceeds, provided that in the case of any such event described in clause (a) (following repayment in full of the Term X Loans and the Term Y Loans) or (b) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event,” if any Borrower or any Subsidiary applies (or commits to apply) the Net Proceeds from such event (or a portion thereof) within twelve months after receipt of such Net Proceeds and at a time when no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing to pay all or a portion of the purchase price in connection with a Permitted Acquisition or to acquire, restore, replace, rebuild, develop, maintain or upgrade real property, equipment or other tangible assets useful or to be used in the business of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries, provided that, in each case, the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent within ten days after such Net Proceeds are received a certificate of its Financial Officer stating its intention to do so and certifying that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of the Net Proceeds in respect of such event (or the portion of such Net Proceeds specified in such certificate, if applicable) except (x) to the extent of any such Net Proceeds therefrom that have not been so applied (or committed to be so applied) by the end of such twelve-month period, (or if committed to be so applied within such twelve-month period, have not been so applied within 18 months after receipt), or (y) if an Event of Default shall thereafter occur and such Net Proceeds have not yet been so applied or committed to be so applied, at which time a prepayment shall be required in an amount equal to such Net Proceeds that have not been so applied (or committed to be so applied) prior to the expiration of such period or the occurrence of such Event of Default. The Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent any such evidence reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent with respect to any commitment of any Borrower or any Subsidiary to apply Net Proceeds in accordance with this Section 2.12(c).

(d) Following the end of each fiscal year of Borrower, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, the Borrower shall prepay the Term A Borrowings and Term Y Borrowings ratably, in each case in an aggregate amount equal to (i) Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year multiplied by the Applicable Prepayment Percentage, less (ii) the amount of optional prepayments of principal under the Term Loans made during such fiscal year. Each prepayment pursuant to this paragraph shall be made before the date that is ten Business Days after the date on which financial statements are delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 with respect to the fiscal year for which Excess Cash Flow is being calculated (and in any event within 95 days after the end of such fiscal year).

(e) Prior to any optional prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that at any time prior to repayment in full of the Term Y Loans and the Term X Loans, any optional prepayment of the Term Loans shall first be applied to repay the Term Y Loans to the extent thereof and thereafter to repay the Term X Loans.

(f) (i) If after the date hereof and on or prior to the Initial Borrowing Date (i) any Prepayment Event shall occur and (ii) prior to the initial extension of credit hereunder, the Borrower shall not have reduced the applicable Term Commitment by an amount corresponding to the amount of mandatory prepayment which the Borrower would have been required to make in respect of the Term A Loan, Term X Loan or Term Y Loan, as applicable, as a result of such Prepayment Event had the Term Loans been outstanding at the time thereof in the amount of the corresponding Term Commitment specified in Article I hereof, then on the Business Day next following the Initial Borrowing Date, the Borrower shall prepay the applicable Term Loans in the amount which would have been required to be prepaid in respect of such Prepayment Event had such Term Loan been outstanding at the time of such Prepayment Event.

SECTION 2.13. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on (i) the average daily difference between the Revolving Commitment of such Lender and the Revolving Credit Exposure of such Lender during the period from and including the date hereof to but excluding the date on which such Revolving Commitment terminates and (ii) the average daily difference between the Term Commitments of such Lender and the outstanding Term Loans by such Lender during the period from and including the date hereof to but excluding the date on which the applicable Term Commitments terminate. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the applicable Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Revolving Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate or rates per annum separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Issuing Bank on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the ratable (relative to Revolving Commitment amount) account of each Lender (including each Alternate Currency Lender) a participation fee with respect to each Alternate Currency Loan, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Revolving Loans on the average daily amount of such Alternate Currency Loan during the period from and including the date such Alternate Currency Loan was made to but excluding the date of repayment thereof, and (ii) to the Alternate Currency Fronting Lender with respect to each Alternate Currency Loan made by it, a fronting fee with respect to the period from and including the date of the applicable Alternate Currency Loan to but excluding the date of repayment thereof at a rate per annum agreed between the Borrower and the Alternate Currency Fronting Lender. Such participation and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day (or, if earlier the date that the Commitments terminate). For purposes of clarity, no fee shall be payable under this clause (c) for Loans made pursuant to Section 2.01 or 2.05.

(d) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(e) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Bank or Alternate Currency Fronting Lender, in the case of fees payable to such Persons) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.14. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Dollar Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing (other than Alternate Currency Loans) shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate. Alternate Currency Loans shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing (without the addition of the Applicable Rate), in addition to the fees set forth in Section 2.13(c).

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by any of the Borrowers hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(e) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan, upon the final maturity thereof and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(f) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that (i) interest on Borrowings denominated in Sterling shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days, (ii) interest on Borrowings denominated in any other Foreign Currency for which it is required by applicable law or customary to compute interest on the basis of a year of 365 days or, if required by applicable law or customary, 366 days in a leap year, shall be computed on such basis, and (iii) interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.15. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in any currency:

(A) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

(B) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in such currency shall be ineffective and (ii) such Borrowing shall be converted to or continued as on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (A) if such Borrowing is denominated in Dollars, an ABR Borrowing or (B) if such Borrowing is denominated in a Foreign Currency, as a Borrowing bearing interest at such rate as the Administrative Agent determines adequately reflects the costs to the Lenders of making or maintaining such Borrowing, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing in such currency, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing (if such Borrowing is requested to be made in Dollars) or shall be made as a Borrowing bearing interest at such rate as the Administrative Agent determines adequately reflects the costs to the Lender of making or maintaining such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.16. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank; or

(ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.17. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.12(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.20, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the applicable currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurocurrency market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.18. Taxes. (a) Subject to Section 2.18(h), any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any of the Borrowers hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any of the Borrowers shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Applicable Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Applicable Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Applicable Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) The Applicable Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of such Applicable Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate in reasonable detail as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Applicable Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Applicable Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Applicable Borrower is regarded by the relevant Governmental Authority for purposes of its Tax laws as being resident, or under any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

(f) If the Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank or a Lender determines that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by one of the Borrowers or with respect to which one of the Borrowers has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.18, it shall pay over to the Applicable Borrower the amount of such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Applicable Borrower under this Section 2.18 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, or such Lender (as the case may be) and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Applicable Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender (as the case may be), agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Applicable Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, or Lender (as the case may be) in the event the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender (as the case may be) is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to any of the Borrowers or any other Person.

(g) Each of the Borrowers that is either resident in the United Kingdom for United Kingdom tax purpose or that otherwise makes payments under this Agreement that have a United Kingdom source (in each case, a “UK Borrower”) must make all payments hereunder without any deduction or withholding for or on account of United Kingdom Taxes (“UK Tax Deduction”), unless a UK Tax Deduction is required by law. If such a UK Tax Deduction is required by law, the amount of the payment due from the UK Borrower in question will be increased by an amount which (after making all UK Tax Deductions) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due had no UK Tax Deduction been required.

(h) Except as provided below, a UK Borrower is not required to make an increased payment under paragraph (g) above for a UK Tax Deduction:

(i) if on the date on which the payment in respect of which the UK Tax Deduction is required falls due, the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without a UK Tax Deduction if it was, or had not ceased to be, a Qualifying Lender, but on that date that Lender is not, or has ceased to be, a Qualifying Lender in respect of that UK Borrower;

(ii) if the relevant Lender is a Treaty Lender and the UK Borrower making the payment is able to demonstrate that the UK Tax Deduction would not have been required if the Lender had complied with its obligations under paragraph 2.18(e) above; or

(iii) If on the date on which the payment falls due:

(A)

the relevant Lender is a Qualifying Lender solely under sub-paragraphs (ii) and (iii) of the definition of UK Lender;

(B)

an officer of HM Revenue & Customs has given (and not revoked a direction) (a “Direction”) under section 931 of the Income Tax Act 2007 (as that provision has effect on the date on which the relevant Lender became a party to this Agreement) which relates to that payment and that Lender has received from that UK Borrower a certified copy of that Direction; and

(C)

the payment could have been made to the Lender with out any Tax Deduction in the absence of that Direction; or

(iv) the relevant Lender is a Qualifying Lender solely under sub-paragraphs (ii) and (iii) of the definition of UK Lender and it has not, other than by reason of any change after the date of this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration or application of) any law, or any published practice or concession of any relevant taxing authority, given a Tax Confirmation to the Borrowers.

(i) Paragraph (h)(i) above will not apply if the relevant Lender has ceased to be a Qualifying Lender in respect of that UK Borrower by reason of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration or application of) any law or treaty or any published practice or concession of any relevant taxing authority.

(j) If a UK Borrower is required to make a UK Tax Deduction, that UK Borrower must make the minimum UK Tax Deduction allowed by law and must make any payment required in connection with that UK Tax Deduction within the time allowed by law.

(k) Within 30 days of making either a UK Tax Deduction or a payment required in connection with a UK Tax Deduction, the UK Borrower making that UK Tax Deduction or payment must deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence satisfactory to that Lender (acting reasonably) that the UK Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) the appropriate payment has been paid to Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs.

(l) If a Lender is expressed to be a UK Lender then it shall confirm to the Borrowers that it is a UK Lender by entering into this Agreement. A UK Lender must promptly notify the Borrower if it ceases to be a UK Lender.

All payments hereunder of (i) principal or interest in respect of any Loan shall be made in the currency in which such Loan is denominated, (ii) reimbursement obligations shall be made in the currency in which the Letter of Credit in respect of which such reimbursement obligation exists is denominated or (iii) any other amount due hereunder or under another Credit Document shall be made in Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

Each of the Borrowers consents agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the exercise against such Applicable Borrower rights of with respect to such participation as fully as if such creditor of the Applicable Borrower in the amount of such

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Applicable Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Applicable Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Applicable Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, (i) at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation (in the case of an amount denominated in Dollars) and (ii) the rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount (in the case of an amount denominated in a Foreign Currency).

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(c), 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.19(d) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.20. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16, or if any of the Borrowers is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.16 or 2.18, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16, or if any of the Borrowers is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.16 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.18, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

(c) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification or waiver pursuant to Section 9.02 (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all or all affected Lenders, the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this clause (c) being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as the Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, at the Borrower’s request and at its sole cost and expense, the Administrative Agent, or a Person or Persons reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, shall have the right with the Administrative Agent’s consent (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lenders, and such Non-Consenting Lenders agree that they shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, sell and assign to the Administrative Agent or such Person, all of the Loans and Commitments of such Non-Consenting Lenders for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Loans held by the Non-Consenting Lenders and all accrued interest, fees and other amounts with respect thereto through the date of the sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated at par pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption (with the Borrower or the assignee paying any applicable assignment fee). Any such required sale and assignment shall be treated as a prepayment for purposes of Section 2.17 and the Borrower shall be liable for any amounts payable thereunder as a result of such sale and assignment.

SECTION 2.21. Subsidiary Borrowers.

(a) The Borrower may, at any time or from time to time, designate one or more Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries of the Borrower as a “Subsidiary Borrower” hereunder by furnishing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders at least five Business Days before such designation is to take effect a Designation Letter in duplicate, duly completed and executed by the Borrower and such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, together with (i) the items described in paragraphs (h) and (i) of Section 4.01 relating to such Subsidiary Borrower in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (ii) such security agreements and similar documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to accomplish the pledge by such Subsidiary Borrower of substantially all of its assets (other than Real Property) and such immaterial assets as may be agreed upon between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) to secure the obligations of such Subsidiary Borrower hereunder and under the Designation Letter, and (iii) such other documents and information (including information relating to “know your customer” rules and regulations) as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request. Upon any such designation of a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary and the consent of each of the Lenders, which will not be unreasonably withheld, such Subsidiary shall be a Subsidiary Borrower hereunder (with the related rights and obligations) and shall be entitled to request Revolving Loans on and subject to the terms and conditions of, and to the extent provided in, this Agreement; provided, however, that if the Borrower so indicates in the applicable Designation Letter, the Subsidiary Borrower may be entitled to request only Alternate Currency Loans, in which case such Subsidiary Borrower shall then be entitled to request Alternate Currency Loans on and subject to the terms and conditions of, and to the extent provided in, this Agreement and the consent to such designation of only the Administrative Agent and the applicable Alternate Currency Lenders shall be required.

(b) So long as all Loans made to any Subsidiary Borrower and any related obligations have been paid in full, the Borrower may terminate the status of such Subsidiary Borrower as a Subsidiary Borrower hereunder by furnishing to the Administrative Agent a Termination Letter in duplicate, duly completed and executed by the Borrower and such Subsidiary. Any Termination Letter furnished hereunder shall be effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify the Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of a Termination Letter with respect to any Subsidiary Borrower shall not terminate (i) any obligation of such Subsidiary Borrower that remains unpaid at the time of such delivery or (ii) the obligations of the Borrower under the Parent Guaranty with respect to any such unpaid obligations.

(c) BPGR and Manitowoc Asia Holdings as the initial Subsidiary Borrowers, hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of the second sentence of the third paragraph of the attached form of Designation Letter as if the same were fully set forth herein. The provisions of Section 2.21(a)(ii) shall not be applicable to such Subsidiary Borrowers.

SECTION 2.22. Additional Reserve Costs. (a) For so long as any Lender is required to comply with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank, in each case in respect of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Loans or Swingline Foreign Currency Loans, such Lender shall be entitled to require the Applicable Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such Loans, additional interest on such Loan at a rate per annum equal to the Mandatory Cost Rate calculated in accordance with the formula and in the manner set forth in Schedule 2.22 hereto.

(b) For so long as any Lender is required to comply with reserve assets, liquidity, cash margin or other requirements of any monetary or other authority (including any such requirement imposed by the European Central Bank or the European System of Central Banks, but excluding requirements reflected in the Statutory Reserves or the Mandatory Cost Rate) in respect of any of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Loans and Swingline Foreign Currency Loans, such Lender shall be entitled to require the Applicable Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such Lender’s Loans subject to such requirements, additional interest on such Loan at a rate per annum specified by such Lender to be the cost to such Lender of complying with such requirements in relation to such Loan.

(c) Any additional interest owed pursuant to paragraph (b) above shall be determined in reasonable detail by the applicable Lender, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and notified to the applicable Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at least five Business Days before each date on which interest is payable for the applicable Loan, and such additional interest so notified to the applicable Borrower by such Lender shall be payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender on each date on which interest is payable for such Loan.

ARTICLE III

Representations and Warranties

The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders that:

SECTION 3.01. Organization; Powers. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.01, each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization (except, with respect to Subsidiaries that are not Subsidiary Guarantors, where the failure to be in good standing under the laws of their respective jurisdiction of incorporation could not reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect), has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required.

SECTION 3.02. Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions are within the Credit Parties’ corporate or limited liability company or other organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate and, if required, stockholder or similar action. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

SECTION 3.03. Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect (or, in the case of the Acquisition, shall have been obtained or made prior to the Initial Borrowing Date), (b) will not violate any applicable law or regulation or the charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any order of any Governmental Authority, (c) will not violate or result in a default under (i) the Senior Note Documents or (ii) any other indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or its assets, other than (in the case of such other indentures, agreements or instruments referred to in clause (ii)) such violations or defaults which could not reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, other than Permitted Liens.

SECTION 3.04. Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change. (a) The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders its consolidated balance sheet and statements of income, stockholders equity and cash flows as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, reported on by Pricewaterhouse Coopers LLP, independent public accountants. Such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date and for such period in accordance with GAAP.

(b) Since December 31, 2007, there has been no material adverse change in the business, assets, operations, prospects or condition, financial or otherwise, of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

SECTION 3.05. Properties. (a) Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its real and personal property material to its business, except for minor defects in title that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties for their intended purposes, and free and clear of all Liens, other than Permitted Liens. All Real Property having a fair market value in excess of $5,000,000 owned by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors as of the Effective Date is set forth on Schedule 3.05. Schedule 3.05 also sets forth (i) the locations of all leased Real Property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor where equipment and/or inventory having a fair market value in excess of $500,000 in the aggregate (as determined at any time during the immediately preceding four fiscal quarters) is held as of the Effective Date, and (ii) the locations where such equipment and/or inventory is held pursuant to bailment arrangements as of the Effective Date.

(b) Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property material to its business, and the use thereof by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.06. Litigation and Environmental Matters. (a) There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) that involve the Credit Documents or the Transactions.

(b) Except with respect to any other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability.

SECTION 3.07. Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Default has occurred and is continuing.

SECTION 3.08. Investment Company Status. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940.

SECTION 3.09. Taxes. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed (including the filing of extensions in respect thereof) and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except (a) Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.10. ERISA; Foreign Pension Plans. (a) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.10, the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements prior to the Effective Date reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $20,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of such Plan, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements prior to the Effective Date reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $20,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans.

(b) Each Foreign Pension Plan has been maintained in substantial compliance with its terms and in substantial compliance with the requirements of any and all applicable laws, statutes, rules, regulations and orders and has been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities. All contributions required to be made with respect to a Foreign Pension Plan have been timely made. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any material obligation in connection with the termination of or withdrawal from any Foreign Pension Plan. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.10, the present value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each Foreign Pension Plan, determined as of the end of the Borrower’s most recently ended fiscal year prior to the Effective Date on the basis of actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable, did not exceed by more than $20,000,000 the current value of the assets of such Foreign Pension Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities.

(c) To the Borrower’s knowledge, (i) there are no grounds to suspect that the Pensions Regulator would have the power to issue a Financial Support Direction or a Contribution Notice to any member of the Target Group as a result of the consummation of the Acquisition or the Transactions or, if the Pensions Regulator had such a power, it would not be reasonable for it to exercise such a power, in each case with respect to any of the UK defined benefit pension schemes operated by or maintained for the benefit of members of the Target Group; and (ii) there is no requirement (and no requirement will arise) to notify, or, in consequence of (i) above, the Borrower does not consider it necessary to seek any clearance from, the Pensions Regulator as a result of the consummation of the Acquisition or the Transactions. Under the terms of the UK defined benefit pension schemes operated by or maintained for the benefit of members of the Target Group, the pension trustees do not have the power to unilaterally wind up those schemes or to unilaterally increase the contributions required to be made by the members of the Target Group.

SECTION 3.11. Disclosure. The Borrower has disclosed to the Lenders all agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known to it, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Information Memorandum nor any of the other reports, financial statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains or will contain any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.

SECTION 3.12. The Security Documents. (a) The provisions of the Security Documents are effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in all right, title and interest of the Credit Parties in the US Security Agreement Collateral and UK Security Agreement Collateral described therein, and the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, will have, upon its taking all actions required of it under the UCC, a fully perfected security interest in all right, title and interest in all of the US Security Agreement Collateral described therein (to the extent that such security interest can be perfected by filing a UCC financing statement or, to the extent required by the US Security Agreement, by taking possession of (or taking certain other actions with respect to) the respective US Security Agreement Collateral), subject to no other Liens other than Permitted Liens. In addition, the recordation of (x) the Grant of Security Interest in U.S. Patents and (y) the Grant of Security Interest in U.S. Trademarks in the respective forms attached to the US Security Agreement, in each case in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, together with UCC filings made pursuant to the US Security Agreement, will create, as may be perfected by such filings and recordation, a perfected security interest in the United States trademarks and patents covered by the US Security Agreement, and the recordation of the Grant of Security Interest in U.S. Copyrights in the form attached to the US Security Agreement with the United States Copyright Office, together with UCC filings made pursuant to the US Security Agreement, will create, as may be perfected by such filings and recordation, a perfected security interest in the United States copyrights covered by the US Security Agreement.

(b) The security interests created in favor of the Collateral Agent, as pledgee, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, under the US Pledge Agreement constitute perfected security interests in the US Pledge Agreement Collateral described in the US Pledge Agreement, subject to no security interests of any other Person. No filings or recordings are required in order to perfect (or maintain the perfection or priority of) the security interests created in the US Pledge Agreement Collateral under the US Pledge Agreement other than with respect to that portion of the US Pledge Agreement Collateral constituting a “general intangible” under the UCC.

SECTION 3.13. Subsidiaries. As of the Effective Date, the Borrower has no Subsidiaries other than those Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 3.13. Schedule 3.13 correctly sets forth, as of the Effective Date, (i) the percentage ownership (direct or indirect) of the Borrower in each class of capital stock or other equity of its Subsidiaries and also identifies the direct owner thereof, and (ii) the jurisdiction of organization of each such Subsidiary.

SECTION 3.14. Indebtedness. Schedule 6.01 sets forth a true and complete list of all Indebtedness (including Guarantees (other than Guarantees otherwise permitted under Section 6.01)) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and, to the knowledge of Borrower, the Target Group as of the Effective Date and which is to remain outstanding after giving effect to the Transactions (excluding the Loans and the Letters of Credit), in each case showing the aggregate principal amount thereof and the name of the respective borrower and any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries (and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, any member of the Target Group) which directly or indirectly guarantees such debt.

SECTION 3.15. Insurance. Schedule 3.15 sets forth a true and complete listing of all insurance maintained by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Date, with the amounts insured (and any deductibles) set forth therein.

SECTION 3.16. Regulation U. Margin stock (as defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) constitutes less than 25% of the value of those assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries which are subject to any limitation on sale, pledge, or other restriction hereunder. Neither the making of any Loan or issuance of any Letters of Credit hereunder, the use of the proceeds thereof, nor any other aspect of the financing of the Acquisition, will violate or be inconsistent with the provisions of Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

SECTION 3.17. Solvency. On the Initial Borrowing Date, after giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Transaction Documents and the payment of all fees, costs and expenses payable by the Borrower with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Transaction Documents, (a) on a going concern basis the fair market value of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, will exceed their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, (b) the present fair saleable value of the property of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay their debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts or other liabilities become absolute and matured in the ordinary course, (c) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, are able to pay their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured in the ordinary course, and (d) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, do not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which they are engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted following the Initial Borrowing Date. The amount of contingent liabilities at any time shall be computed as the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual and matured liability.

SECTION 5.12. Margin Regulations. The Borrower will take all actions so that at all times the fair market value of all Margin Stock owned by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (other than capital stock of the Borrower held in treasury) shall not exceed $2,500,000.

(b) If at any time, more than 45 days after the Initial Borrowing Date, the aggregate assets of all Domestic Subsidiaries of the Borrower that are not Subsidiary Guarantors which have pledged their assets to secure the Obligations (any such Subsidiary, a “Non-Subject Subsidiary”) exceed ten percent (10%) of the consolidated total assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, then the Borrower shall cause one or more of such Non-Subject Subsidiaries (other than any SPC) to promptly (i) execute a Subsidiary Guaranty and (ii) pledge to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors a first priority security interest in (A) all personal property owned by such Person pursuant to a security or pledge agreement substantially similar to the US Security Agreement or, as applicable, US Pledge Agreement (or pursuant to a joinder agreement to the US Security Agreement or US Pledge Agreement in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) and (B) all real property (including leaseholds) having a fair market value in excess of $5,000,000 owned by such Person pursuant to a Mortgage in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, so that the aggregate assets of all Non-Subject Subsidiaries do not exceed ten percent (10%) of the consolidated total assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

(c) Without limiting the provisions of Sections 5.10(c) or 5.13, the Borrower agrees that within 60 days after the Initial Borrowing Date (and periodically thereafter as the Administrative Agent may request) it will identify to the Administrative Agent by written notice each Foreign Subsidiary of the Borrower which may (i) become a guarantor of some or all of the Obligations, (ii) have 65% or more of its Equity Interests pledged to secure some or all of the Obligations or (iii) pledge its assets to secure some or all of the Obligations (each of the foregoing being “Credit Support”), in each case (A) without having an adverse tax or other financial consequence to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in any material respect, (B) solely to the extent any of the foregoing actions could not reasonably be expected to result in personal liability to the directors of such Foreign Subsidiary and (C) solely to the extent any of the foregoing actions are not otherwise prohibited by applicable law (any of the actions described in (i) – (iii) above which do not have any of the consequences described in (A) – (C) above being “Permitted Credit Support”). Such notice shall not be required to identify Foreign Subsidiaries already providing Credit Support which are not required to provide incremental Credit Support pursuant to this section.

(d) Within 30 days after the delivery of such notice pursuant to Section 5.13(c) (or such longer period to which the Administrative Agent may agree) the Borrower will cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary (or the Subsidiary which is the holder of Equity Interests therein, as applicable) to provide the applicable Permitted Credit Support pursuant to such documentation (including certificates and opinions of counsel) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request (which documentation shall provide equal and ratable credit support for Swap Agreements and Banking Product Agreements (as defined in the US Security Agreement) to the same extent as provided in the US Security Agreement). To the extent that provision of Credit Support by any Foreign Subsidiary would constitute Permitted Credit Support but for the completion by such Foreign Subsidiary or its parent entity of the Section 155 to 158 of the Company’s Act financial assistance whitewash procedure or any similar procedure (a “Whitewash”), then such Foreign Subsidiary shall be included in the notice referred to above and the Borrower shall cause such Foreign Subsidiary (or, if applicable, its parent entity) (i) to take all commercially reasonable steps necessary to complete such Whitewash as soon as practicable and (ii) following completion of the Whitewash, to take the actions described in the first sentence of this Section 5.13(d) within 30 days (or such longer period to which the Administrative Agent may agree) thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Lien shall be taken pursuant to this Section 5.13(d) in any assets as to which the Administrative Agent shall determine, in its reasonable discretion, that the cost of obtaining such Lien (including any mortgage, stamp, intangibles or other tax, title insurance or similar items or the cost of the Whitewash procedure) is excessive in relation to the benefit to the Lenders of the security afforded thereby or in real estate.

109

(l) an ERISA Event shall have occurred that, in the opinion of the Required Lenders, when taken together with all other ERISA Events that have occurred, could reasonably be expected to result in liability of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in an aggregate amount exceeding $20,000,000;

(m) a Change in Control shall occur;

Notwithstanding any other provision of any Credit Document:

(a) any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant set forth in any Credit Document; or

(b) any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default under paragraph (a), (b), (h), (i) or (j) of Article VII),

(each, a “Curable Circumstance”) will be deemed not to be a breach of representation or warranty, a breach of covenant or an Event of Default (as the case may be) during the period expiring on the day (the “Clean-Up Date”) falling 90 days after the Unconditional Date, if:

(i)

it would have been (if it were not for this provision) a breach of representation or warranty, a breach of covenant or an Event of Default only by reason of circumstances relating exclusively to any member of the Target Group (or any obligation to procure or ensure in relation to a member of the Target Group);

(ii)

it is capable of remedy and reasonable steps are being taken to remedy it;

(iii)

the circumstances giving rise to it have not been procured by (A) the Borrower or (B) a Subsidiary of the Borrower which is not a member of the Target Group, and neither the Borrower nor any such Subsidiary has acquiesced to such circumstances where they were legally able to avoid them; and

(iv)

it could not reasonably be expected (either individually or in the aggregate with all other Curable Circumstances) to have a Material Adverse Effect.

If the relevant circumstances are continuing on or after the Clean-Up Date, there shall be a breach of representation or warranty, breach of covenant or Event of Default, as the case may be notwithstanding the above (and without prejudice to the rights and remedies of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent).

ARTICLE VIII

The Administrative Agent

SECTION 8.01. The Administrative Agent.

(a) Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

111

(b) The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (iii) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

112

(e) The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

(f) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

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

(h) The Administrative Agent shall be permitted from time to time to designate one of its Affiliates to perform the duties to be performed by the Administrative Agent hereunder with respect to Loans and Borrowings denominated in Foreign Currencies. The provisions of this Article VIII shall apply to any such Affiliate mutatis mutandis. All provisions of this Article VIII relating to the Administrative Agent shall be equally applicable to the Collateral Agent mutatis mutandis.

113

Without limiting the foregoing, if any Collateral or any Subsidiary is sold in a transaction permitted hereunder (excluding sales to the Borrower or a Subsidiary thereof other than sales comprising part of a Permitted Securitization made to a Subsidiary which is an SPC), (a) such Collateral and the assets of such Subsidiary shall be sold free and clear of the Liens created by the Security Documents and (b) in the case of such a sale of a Subsidiary Guarantor, such Subsidiary Guarantor and its subsidiaries shall be released from the Subsidiary Guaranty and, in each case, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the UK Security Trustee shall be authorized to take any actions deemed appropriate in order to effect the foregoing. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the UK Security Trustee shall also be authorized, on behalf of the Lenders, to enter into such amendments of the Security Documents and to enter into such agreements (including intercreditor agreements but excluding any releases of Collateral not otherwise authorized hereby) as, in either case, it deems necessary or appropriate in connection with a Permitted Securitization. Additionally, in connection with the granting of Liens of the type described in clauses (i), (j), (m) or (s) of Section 6.02 by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the UK Security Trustee is authorized to take any actions deemed appropriate by it in connection therewith (including, without limitation, the execution of appropriate lien releases or lien subordination agreements in favor of the holder or holders of such Liens, in either case solely with respect to the item or items of equipment or other assets subject to such Liens.

SECTION 8.02. Administrative Agent as UK Security Trustee.

(a) In this Agreement, any rights and remedies exercisable by, any documents to be delivered to, or any other indemnities or obligations in favor of the Administrative Agent shall be, as the case may be, exercisable by, delivered to, or be indemnities or other obligations in favor of, the Administrative Agent (or any other Person acting in such capacity) in its capacity as the UK Security Trustee to the extent that the rights, deliveries, indemnities or other obligations relate to the UK Security Agreements or the security thereby created. Any obligations of the Administrative Agent (or any other Person acting in such capacity) in this Agreement shall be obligations of the Administrative Agent in its capacity as UK Security Trustee to the extent that the obligations relate to the UK Security Agreement or the security thereby created. Additionally, in its capacity as UK Security Trustee, the Administrative Agent (or any Person acting in such capacity) shall have all the rights, remedies, and benefits in favor of the Administrative Agent contained in the provisions of the whole of this Article VIII and, subject always to the provisions of the UK Security Agreement, (i) all the powers of an absolute owner of the security constituted by the US Pledge Agreement governed by English law and (ii) all the rights, remedies and powers granted to it and be subject to all the obligations and duties owed by it under the UK Security Agreements and/or any of the Credit Documents.

(b) Each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby appoint the UK Security Trustee to act as its trustee under and in relation to the UK Security Agreements and to hold the assets subject to the security thereby created as trustee for the Administrative Agent and Lenders on the trusts and other terms contained in the UK Security Agreements and the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorize the UK Security Trustee to exercise such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are specifically delegated to the UK Security Trustee by the terms of the UK Security Agreements together with all such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are reasonably incidental thereto.

114

(c) Any reference in this Agreement to Liens stated to be in favor of the Administrative Agent shall be construed so as to include a reference to Liens granted in favor of the UK Security Trustee.

(d) The Lenders agree that at any time that the UK Security Trustee shall be a Person other than the Administrative Agent, such other Person shall have the rights, remedies, benefits and powers granted to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as the UK Security Trustee in this Agreement.

(e) Nothing in this Section 8.02 shall require the UK Security Trustee to act as a trustee at common law or to be holding any property on trust, in any jurisdiction outside the United States or the United Kingdom which may not operate under principles of trust or where such trust would not be recognized or its effects would not be enforceable.

The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) upon the execution and delivery of all documentation required by Section 2.09(d) to be delivered in connection with an increase to the total Commitments, the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the new or existing Lenders whose Commitments have been affected may and shall enter into an amendment hereof (which shall be binding on all parties hereto and the new Lenders) solely for the purpose of reflecting any new Lenders and their new Commitments and any increase in the Commitment of any existing Lender and (ii) no consent of any Credit Party (nor, to the extent that the amendments referred to below are not materially adverse to the interests of the Lenders, the consent of any Lender other than the Initial Lenders (at least two) holding 51% or more of the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures, unused Revolving Commitments, unused Term Commitments and outstanding Term Loans at such time (the “Flex Lenders”)) shall be required in connection with an amendment hereof or of any other Credit Document being made pursuant to the letter agreement dated April 13, 2008 among the Borrower, the Arrangers and certain of their Lender Affiliates relating to fees and “flex” matters. The Borrower shall (A) at such time as the Flex Lenders shall request, execute and cause its Subsidiaries to execute such amendments to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents as may be requested by the Flex Lenders to effect compliance by the Borrower with its obligations under such letter agreement (in each case without respect to whether such execution by the Borrower is, giving effect to subsection (ii) of the preceding sentence, required for the effectiveness thereof) and (B) otherwise comply with its obligations under such letter agreement.

SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

117

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions, the Acquisition or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such 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.

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Alternate Currency Fronting Lender or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section (and without limiting its obligation to do so), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Alternate Currency Fronting Lender or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s ratable share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought by reference to the aggregate outstanding Term Loans and unused Term Commitments (or, if such Term Commitments have terminated, aggregate outstanding Term Loans) and Revolving Commitments (or, if such Revolving Commitments have terminated, aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure)) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Alternate Currency Fronting Lender or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrowers shall not assert, and hereby waive, 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 or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

118

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after written demand therefor.

119

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans; and provided further that assignments of Alternate Currency Loans to the Alternate Currency Fronting Lender as described in clause (ii) of Section 2.04(m) or by the Alternate Currency Fronting Lender to a Lender which becomes an Alternate Currency Lender shall not be required to be made as a proportionate part of the assigning Lender’s Commitment;

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

120

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements 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 Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank 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, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(c), 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.19(d) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Alternate Currency Fronting Lender or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17 and 2.18 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.19(c) as though it were a Lender.

121

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.16 or 2.18 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.18 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.18(e) as though it were a Lender.

(d) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrowers herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent or any Arranger constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. The Borrower agrees to comply with its obligations under such letter agreements. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

122

SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.08. Right of Set-off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any of the Borrowers against any of and all the obligations of such Person now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law (without regard to conflict of law provisions) of the State of New York.

(b) Each of the Borrowers hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the Borrowers or their respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

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

123

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01; provided that service of process may not be made by telecopy. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 9.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any of the Borrowers and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is or was clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

124

ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE BORROWER AND ITS AFFILIATES, THE PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES) AND ITS SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.

SECTION 9.13. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 9.14. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Person, which information includes the names and addresses of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Act.

SECTION 9.15. Conversion of Currencies. (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

125

(b) The obligations of each Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 9.15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

ARTICLE X

Collection Action Mechanism

SECTION 10.01. Implementation of CAM. (a)(i) On the CAM Exchange Date, to the extent not otherwise prohibited by applicable law or otherwise, each Lender shall immediately be deemed to have acquired (and shall promptly make payment therefor to the Alternate Currency Fronting Lender or Swingline Lender in accordance with Section 2.04(g) or 2.05(c), as applicable) participations in the Alternate Currency Loans and Swingline Loans in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Revolver Percentage of each Alternate Currency Loan and Swingline Loan outstanding on such date, (ii) on the CAM Exchange Date, all Loans outstanding in any Foreign Currency (“Loans to be Converted”) shall be converted into Dollars (calculated on the basis of the relevant Exchange Rates as of the Business Day immediately preceding the CAM Exchange Date) (“Converted Loans”), and (iii) on the CAM Exchange Date, to the extent necessary to cause each Lender’s Applicable Revolver Percentage, Applicable Term A Percentage, Applicable Term Y Percentage and Applicable Term X Percentage to be equal for such Lender after giving effect to the purchase and sale of participating interests under this clause, each Lender severally, unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that it shall purchase or sell in Dollars a participating interest in the Loans (including such Converted Loans) in an amount equal to its CAM Percentage of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans (including Converted Loans). All Converted Loans shall bear interest at the rate which would otherwise be applicable to ABR Borrowings. Each Lender and each Borrower hereby consents and agrees to the CAM Exchange, and each Lender agrees that the CAM Exchange shall be binding upon its successors and assigns and any person that acquires a participation in its interests in any Loan. Each Borrower agrees from time to time to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent all instruments and documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to evidence and confirm the respective interests of the Lenders after giving effect to the CAM Exchange.

126

(b) If, for any reason, the Loans to be Converted may not be converted into Dollars in the manner contemplated by paragraph (a) of this Section 10.01, (i) the Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Equivalent of the Loans to be Converted (calculated on the basis of the Exchange Rate as of the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such conversion would otherwise occur pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 10.01) and (ii) effective on such CAM Exchange Date, each Lender severally, unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that it shall purchase in Dollars a participating interest in such Loans to be Converted in an amount equal to its CAM Percentage of such Loans to be Converted. Each Lender will immediately transfer to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, the amount(s) of its participation(s) and the proceeds of such participation(s) shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to each relevant Lender in the amount(s) provided for in the preceding sentence.

(c) To the extent any Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable by a Lender (the “First Lender”) to another Lender (the “Other Lender”) in connection with its participating interest in any Converted Loan, each Borrower, with respect to the relevant Loans made to it, shall be required to pay increased amounts to the Other Lender receiving such payments from the First Lender to the same extent they would be required under Section 2.18 if such Borrower were making payments with respect to the participating interest directly to the Other Lender.

(d) As a result of the CAM Exchange, upon and after the CAM Exchange Date, each payment received by Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent pursuant to any Credit Document, and each distribution made by the Collateral Agent pursuant to any Security Document in respect of the Obligations, shall be distributed to the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective CAM Percentages. Any direct payment received by a Lender upon or after the CAM Exchange Date, including by way of setoff, in respect of an Obligation shall be paid over to Administrative Agent for distribution to the Lenders in accordance herewith.

SECTION 10.02. Letters of Credit. (a) In the event that on the CAM Exchange Date any Letter of Credit shall be outstanding and undrawn in whole or in part, or any amount drawn under a Letter of Credit shall not have been reimbursed either by the Borrowers or with the proceeds of a Revolving Loan, each Lender shall promptly pay over to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds in the same currency as such Letter of Credit, as the case may be, in the case of any undrawn amount, and in Dollars, in the case of any unreimbursed amount, an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Revolver Percentage (before giving effect to the CAM Exchange) of such undrawn face amount or (to the extent it has not already done so) such unreimbursed drawing, as the case may be, together with interest thereon from the CAM Exchange Date to the date on which such amount shall be paid to Administrative Agent at the rate that would be applicable at the time to an ABR Borrowing, in a principal amount equal to such amount. The Administrative Agent shall establish a separate interest bearing account or accounts for each Lender (each, an “LC Reserve Account”) for the amounts received with respect to each such Letter of Credit pursuant to the preceding sentence. The Administrative Agent shall deposit in each Lender’s LC Reserve Account such Lender’s CAM Percentage of the amounts received from the Lenders as provided above. The Administrative Agent shall have sole dominion and control over each LC Reserve Account, and the amounts deposited in each LC Reserve Account shall be held in such LC Reserve Account until withdrawn as provided in paragraph (b), (c), (d) or (e) below. The Administrative Agent shall maintain records enabling it to determine the amounts paid over to it and deposited in the LC Reserve Accounts in respect of each Letter of Credit and the amounts on deposit in respect of each Letter of Credit attributable to each Lender’s CAM Percentage. The amounts held in each Lender’s LC Reserve Account shall be held as a reserve against the Letters of Credit, shall be the property of such Lender, shall not constitute Loans to or give rise to any claim of or against any Credit Party and shall not give rise to any obligation on the part of any Borrower to pay interest to such Lender, it being agreed that the reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit shall arise only at such times as drawings are made thereunder, as provided in Section 2.06.

127

(b) In the event that after the CAM Exchange Date any drawing shall be made in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Issuing Bank, withdraw from the LC Reserve Account of each Lender any amounts, up to the amount of such Lender’s CAM Percentage of such drawing, deposited in respect of such Letter of Credit and remaining on deposit and deliver such amounts to the Issuing Bank in satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the applicable Lenders under Section 2.06(e). In the event any Lender shall default on its obligation to pay over any amount to the Administrative Agent in respect of any Letter of Credit as provided in this Section 10.02, the Issuing Bank shall, in the event of a drawing thereunder, have a claim against such Lender to the same extent as if such Lender had defaulted on its obligations under Section 2.06(e), but shall have no claim against any other Lender in respect of such defaulted amount, notwithstanding the exchange of interests in Borrowers’ reimbursement obligations pursuant to Section 10.01. Each other Lender shall have a claim against such defaulting Lender for any damages sustained by it as a result of such default, including, in the event such Letter of Credit shall expire undrawn, its CAM Percentage of the defaulted amount.

(c) In the event that after the CAM Exchange Date any Letter of Credit shall expire undrawn, the Administrative Agent shall withdraw from the LC Reserve Account of each Lender the amount remaining on deposit therein in respect of such Letter of Credit and distribute such amount to such Lender.

(d) With the prior written approval of the Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank (not to be unreasonably withheld), any Lender may withdraw the amount held in its LC Reserve Account in respect of the undrawn amount of any Letter of Credit. Any Lender making such a withdrawal shall be unconditionally obligated, in the event there shall subsequently be a drawing under such Letter of Credit, to pay over to Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, on demand, its CAM Percentage of such drawing.

128

(e) Pending the withdrawal by any Lender of any amounts from its LC Reserve Account as contemplated by the above paragraphs, the Administrative Agent will, at the direction of such Lender and subject to such rules as the Administrative Agent may prescribe for the avoidance of inconvenience, invest such amounts in Cash Equivalents. Each Lender which has not withdrawn its CAM Percentage of amounts in its LC Reserve Account as provided in paragraph (d) above shall have the right, at intervals reasonably specified by any Administrative Agent, to withdraw the earnings on investments so made by such Administrative Agent with amounts in its LC Reserve Account and to retain such earnings for its own account.

129
