If the Borrower shall fail to specify in any such Notice of Borrowing (I) an

No Letter of Credit shall (x) have an original expiry date more than one year from the date of issuance (provided that any such Letter of Credit may contain customary “evergreen” provisions pursuant to which the expiry date is automatically extended by a specific time period unless the Issuing Lender gives notice to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit at least a specified time period prior to the expiry date then in effect) or (y) as originally issued or as extended, have an expiry date extending beyond the date five (5) days prior to the Maturity Date. The Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue any Letter of Credit which would violate any Requirement of Law applicable to the Issuing Lender. Each Letter of Credit shall comply with the related LOC Documents. The issuance and expiry dates of each Letter of Credit shall be a Business Day. For purposes of this Credit Agreement, the Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued on the Closing Date.

(b) NOTICE AND REPORTS. The request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be submitted by an Executive Officer of the Borrower to the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance. The Issuing Lender will provide to the Administrative Agent, at least quarterly and more frequently upon request, who will in turn disseminate to each of the Lenders a detailed report specifying the Letters of Credit which are then issued and outstanding and any activity with respect thereto which may have occurred since the date of the prior report, and including therein, among other things, the beneficiary, the face amount and the expiry date, as well as any payment or expirations which may have occurred.

(c) PARTICIPATION. Each Revolving Lender, upon issuance of a Letter of Credit (or, in the case of each Existing Letter of Credit, on the Closing Date), shall be deemed to have purchased without recourse a Participation Interest from the Issuing Lender in such Letter of Credit and the obligations arising thereunder and any collateral relating thereto, in each case in an amount equal to its pro rata share of the obligations under such Letter of Credit (based on the respective Revolving Commitment Percentages of the Revolving Lenders) and shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume and be obligated to pay to the Issuing Lender and discharge when due, its pro rata share of the obligations arising under such Letter of Credit. Without limiting the scope and nature of each Revolving Lender’s Participation Interest in any Letter of Credit, to the extent that the Issuing Lender has not been reimbursed as required hereunder or under any such Letter of Credit, each such Revolving Lender shall pay to the

Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender its pro rata share of such unreimbursed drawing in same day funds on the day of notification by the Administrative Agent of an unreimbursed drawing pursuant to the provisions of subsection (d) below. The obligation of each Revolving Lender to so reimburse the Issuing Lender shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by the occurrence of a Default, an Event of Default or any other occurrence or event. Any such reimbursement shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as hereinafter provided.

(d) REIMBURSEMENT. In the event of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Unless the Borrower shall immediately notify the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender that the Borrower intends to otherwise reimburse the Issuing Lender for such drawing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that the Revolving Lenders make a Revolving Loan in the amount of the drawing as provided in subsection (e) below on the related Letter of Credit, the proceeds of which will be used to satisfy the related reimbursement obligations. The Borrower promises to reimburse the Issuing Lender on the day on which the Issuing Lender notifies the Borrower of a drawing under any Letter of Credit (either with the proceeds of a Revolving Loan obtained hereunder or deemed to have been requested hereunder or otherwise) in same day funds provided such notice is received by the Borrower from the Issuing Lender on or before 12:00 Noon (New York City time) (otherwise such payment shall be made on or before 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the Business Day next succeeding the day such notice is received). The Borrower hereby promises to pay to the Issuing Lender interest on the unreimbursed amount of any drawing under a Letter of Credit at a per annum rate equal to (i) for the first two (2) Business Days following the date of the related drawing, the Adjusted Base Rate and (ii) thereafter, the Adjusted Base Rate plus 2%. The Borrower’s reimbursement obligations hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under all circumstances irrespective of any rights of setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment the Borrower may claim or have against the Issuing Lender (other than that the payment of such drawing by the Issuing Lender constituted gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender), the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders, the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit drawn upon or any other Person, including without limitation any defense based on any failure of the Borrower or any other Credit Party to receive consideration or the legality, validity, regularity or unenforceability of the Letter of Credit. The Issuing Lender will promptly notify the Administrative Agent, who shall in turn, promptly notify the other Revolving Lenders of the amount of any unreimbursed drawing and each Revolving Lender shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender in Dollars and in immediately available funds, the amount of such Revolving Lender’s pro rata share of such unreimbursed drawing. Such payment shall be made on the day such notice is received by such Revolving Lender from the Administrative Agent if such notice is received at or before 2:00 P.M. (New York City time), and otherwise such payment shall be made at or before 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the Business Day next succeeding the day such notice is received. If such Revolving Lender does not pay such amount to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender in full upon such request, such Revolving Lender shall, on demand, pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender interest on the unpaid amount during the period from the date of such drawing until such Revolving Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender in full at a rate per annum equal to, if paid within two (2) Business Days of

the date that such Revolving Lender is required to make payments of such amount pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Federal Funds Rate and thereafter at a rate equal to the Base Rate. Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make such payment to the Issuing Lender, and the right of the Issuing Lender to receive the same, shall be absolute and unconditional, shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever and without regard to the termination of this Credit Agreement or the Commitments hereunder, the existence of a Default or Event of Default or the acceleration of the obligations of the Borrower hereunder and shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Simultaneously with the making of each such payment by a Revolving Lender to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender, such Revolving Lender shall, automatically and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Lender or such Revolving Lender, acquire a Participation Interest in an amount equal to such payment (excluding the portion of such payment constituting interest owing to the Issuing Lender) in the related unreimbursed drawing portion of the LOC Obligation and in the interest thereon and in the related LOC Documents, and shall have a claim against the Borrower with respect thereto.

(e) REPAYMENT WITH REVOLVING LOANS. On any day on which the Borrower shall have requested, or been deemed to have requested, a Revolving Loan advance to reimburse a drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Revolving Lenders that a Revolving Loan has been requested or deemed requested by the Borrower to be made in connection with a drawing under a Letter of Credit, in which case a Revolving Loan advance comprised of Base Rate Loans (or Eurodollar Loans to the extent the Borrower has complied with the procedures of Section 2.1(b)(i) with respect thereto) shall be immediately made to the Borrower by all Revolving Lenders (notwithstanding any termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 9.2) pro rata based on the respective Revolving Commitment Percentages of the Revolving Lenders (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 9.2) and the proceeds thereof shall be paid directly to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender for application to the respective LOC Obligations. Each such Revolving Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make its pro rata share of each such Revolving Loan immediately upon any such request or deemed request in the amount, in the manner and on the date specified in the preceding sentence notwithstanding (i) the amount of such borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for advances of Revolving Loans otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 5.2 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (iv) failure for any such request or deemed request for Revolving Loan to be made by the time otherwise required hereunder, (v) whether the date of such borrowing is a date on which Revolving Loans are otherwise permitted to be made hereunder or (vi) any termination of the Commitments relating thereto prior to or contemporaneously with such borrowing. In the event that any Revolving Loan cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Borrower or any other Credit Party), then each such Revolving Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date such borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from the Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Issuing Lender such Participation Interests in the outstanding LOC Obligations as shall be necessary to cause each such Revolving Lender to share in such LOC Obligations ratably (based upon the respective Revolving Commitment Percentages of the Revolving Lenders (determined before giving effect to any termination of the

Commitments pursuant to Section 9.2)), provided that at the time any purchase of Participation Interests pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing Revolving Lender shall be required to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender, to the extent not paid to the Issuing Lender by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of subsection (d) above, interest on the principal amount of Participation Interests purchased for each day from and including the day upon which such borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such Participation Interests, at the rate equal to, if paid within two (2) Business Days of the date of the Revolving Loan advance, the Federal Funds Rate, and thereafter at a rate equal to the Base Rate.

(f) DESIGNATION OF CONSOLIDATED PARTIES AS ACCOUNT PARTIES. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Credit Agreement, including without limitation Section 2.2(a), a Letter of Credit issued hereunder may contain a statement to the effect that such Letter of Credit is issued for the account of any Subsidiary of the Borrower, provided that notwithstanding such statement, the Borrower shall be the actual account party for all purposes of this Credit Agreement for such Letter of Credit and such statement shall not affect the Borrower’s reimbursement obligations hereunder with respect to such Letter of Credit.

(g) RENEWAL, EXTENSION. The renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit shall, for purposes hereof, be treated in all respects the same as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit hereunder.

(h) UNIFORM CUSTOMS AND PRACTICES. The Issuing Lender may have the Letters of Credit be subject to The Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (the “UCP”) or the International Standby Practices No. ISP1998 (the “ISP98”), in either case as published as of the date of issue by the International Chamber of Commerce, in which case the UCP or the ISP98, as applicable, may be incorporated therein and deemed in all respects to be a part thereof.

(i) In addition to its other obligations under this Section 2.2, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay, and protect, indemnify and save each Lender harmless from and against, any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, actual losses, costs, charges and reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that such Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (A) the issuance of any Letter of Credit or (B) the failure of such Lender to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or Governmental Authority (all such acts or omissions, herein called “GOVERNMENT ACTS”).

(ii) As between the Borrower and the Lenders (including the Issuing Lender), the Borrower shall assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuse of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. No Lender (including the Issuing Lender) shall be responsible: (A) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application

for and issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (B) for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, that may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (C) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (D) for any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under a Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; and (E) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of such Lender, including, without limitation, any Government Acts. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of the Issuing Lender’s rights or powers hereunder.

(iii) In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by any Lender (including the Issuing Lender), under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related certificates, if taken or omitted in good faith and without gross negligence, shall not put such Lender under any resulting liability to the Borrower or any other Credit Party. It is the intention of the parties that this Credit Agreement shall be construed and applied to protect and indemnify each Lender (including the Issuing Lender) against any and all risks involved in the issuance of the Letters of Credit, all of which risks are hereby assumed by the Borrower (on behalf of itself and each of the other Credit Parties), including, without limitation, any and all Government Acts. No Lender (including the Issuing Lender) shall, in any way, be liable for any failure by such Lender or anyone else to pay any drawing under any Letter of Credit as a result of any Government Acts or any other cause beyond the control of such Lender.

(iv) Nothing in this subsection (i) is intended to limit the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower contained in subsection (d) above. The obligations of the Borrower under this subsection (i) shall survive the termination of this Credit Agreement. No act or omission of any current or prior beneficiary of a Letter of Credit shall in any way affect or impair the rights of the Lenders (including the Issuing Lender) to enforce any right, power or benefit under this Credit Agreement.

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.2(i), no Credit Party shall have any obligation to indemnify or reimburse any Lender (including the Issuing Lender) in respect of any liability incurred by such Lender (A) arising out of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Lender, or (B) caused by such Lender’s failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit unless such payment is prohibited by any law, regulation, court order or decree.

(j) RESPONSIBILITY OF ISSUING LENDER. It is expressly understood and agreed that the obligations of the Issuing Lender hereunder to the Lenders are only those expressly set forth in this Credit Agreement and that the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to assume that the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.2 have been satisfied unless it shall have acquired actual knowledge that any such condition precedent has not been satisfied;

provided, however, that nothing set forth in this Section 2.2 shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Lender to recover from the Issuing Lender any amounts made available by such Lender to the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.2 in the event that it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the payment with respect to a Letter of Credit constituted gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender.

(k) CONFLICT WITH LOC DOCUMENTS. In the event of any conflict between this Credit Agreement and any LOC Document (including any letter of credit application), this Credit Agreement shall control.

2.3. SWINGLINE LOAN SUBFACILITY

(a) SWINGLINE COMMITMENT. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth herein, the Swingline Lender, in its individual capacity, agrees to make certain revolving credit loans requested by the Borrower in Dollars to the Borrower (each a “SWINGLINE LOAN” and, collectively, the “SWINGLINE LOANS”) from time to time from the Closing Date until the Maturity Date for the purposes hereinafter set forth; provided, however, (i) the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS ($20,000,000) (the “SWINGLINE COMMITTED AMOUNT”), and (ii) the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans plus LOC Obligations plus Swingline Loans shall not exceed the Revolving Committed Amount. Swingline Loans hereunder shall be made as Base Rate Loans or Quoted Rate Swingline Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.3 and may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof.

(b) SWINGLINE LOAN ADVANCES.

(i) NOTICES; DISBURSEMENT. Whenever the Borrower desires a Swingline Loan advance hereunder it shall give written notice from an Executive Officer of the Borrower (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Swingline Lender not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the Business Day of the requested Swingline Loan advance. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) that a Swingline Loan advance is requested, (B) the date of the requested Swingline Loan advance (which shall be a Business Day) and (C) the principal amount of the Swingline Loan advance requested. Each Swingline Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan or a Quoted Rate Swingline Loan and shall have such maturity date as the Swingline Lender and the Borrower shall agree upon receipt by the Swingline Lender of any such notice from the Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall initiate the transfer of funds representing the Swingline Loan advance to the Borrower by 3:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the Business Day of the requested borrowing.

(ii) MINIMUM AMOUNTS. Each Swingline Loan advance shall be in integral multiples of $100,000 (or the remaining amount of the Swingline Committed Amount, if less).

(iii) REPAYMENT OF SWINGLINE LOANS. The Borrower hereby promises to pay the outstanding principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of (A) the Maturity Date or (B) the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or the last day of a calendar month and is at least three Business days after such Swingline Loan is made. The Swingline Lender may, at any time, in its sole discretion, by written notice to the Borrower and the Revolving Lenders, demand repayment of its Swingline Loans by way of a Revolving Loan advance, in which case the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Loan advance comprised solely of Base Rate Loans in the amount of such Swingline Loans; provided, however, that any such demand shall be deemed to have been given one Business Day prior to the Maturity Date and on the date of the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 9.1 and upon acceleration of the indebtedness hereunder and the exercise of remedies in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.2. Each Revolving Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make its pro rata share of each such Revolving Loan in the amount, in the manner and on the date specified in the preceding sentence notwithstanding (I) the amount of such borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for advances of Revolving Loans otherwise required hereunder, (II) whether any conditions specified in Section 5.2 are then satisfied, (III) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (IV) failure of any such request or deemed request for a Revolving Loan to be made by the time otherwise required hereunder, (V) whether the date of such borrowing is a date on which Revolving Loans are otherwise permitted to be made hereunder or (VI) any termination of the Commitments relating thereto prior to or contemporaneously with such borrowing. In the event that any Revolving Loan cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Borrower or any other Credit Party), then each Revolving Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date such borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from the Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Swingline Lender such Participation Interests in the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause each such Revolving Lender to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Committed Amount (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 3.4), provided that (A) all interest payable on the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date as of which the respective Participation Interest is purchased and (B) at the time any purchase of Participation Interests pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing Revolving Lender shall be required to pay to the Swingline Lender, to the extent not paid to the Swingline Lender by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of subsection (c)(ii) below, interest on the principal amount of Participation Interests purchased for each day from and including the day upon which such borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such Participation Interests, at the rate equal to, if paid within two (2) Business Days of the date upon which such borrowing would otherwise have occurred, the Federal Funds Rate, and thereafter at a rate equal to the Adjusted Base Rate.

(c) INTEREST ON SWINGLINE LOANS.

(i) RATE OF INTEREST. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.1, each Swingline Loan shall bear interest as follows:

(A) BASE RATE LOANS. If such Swingline Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at a per annum rate equal to the Adjusted Base Rate.

(B) QUOTED RATE SWINGLINE LOANS. If such Swingline Loan is a Quoted Rate Swingline Loan, at a per annum rate equal to the Quoted Rate applicable thereto.

(ii) PAYMENT OF INTEREST. The Borrower hereby promises to pay interest on Swingline Loans in arrears on each applicable Interest Payment Date (or at such other times as may be specified herein).

Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary set forth in this Credit Agreement, in the event that the principal amount of any Quoted Rate Swingline Loan is not repaid on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan, then such Loan shall be automatically converted into a Base Rate Loan at the end of such Interest Period.

(d) SWINGLINE NOTE. The Borrower hereby agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by the Swingline Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to the Swingline Lender a promissory note evidencing the Swingline Loans of the Swingline Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.3(d), with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount (a “SWINGLINE NOTE”).

2.4. [INTENTIONALLY DELETED]

2.5. TRANCHE B TERM LOAN.

(a) TRANCHE B TERM COMMITMENT. (i) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including paragraph (ii) below) and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make available to the Borrower on the Closing Date such Lender’s Tranche B Term Loan Percentage of a term loan in Dollars (the “TRANCHE B TERM LOAN”) in the aggregate principal amount of FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS ($450,000,000) (the “TRANCHE B TERM LOAN COMMITTED AMOUNT”). The full principal amount of the Tranche B Term Loan shall be disbursed on the Closing Date as a Base Rate Loan. Thereafter, the Term Loan may consist of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, or a combination thereof, as the Borrower may request; provided, however, that no more than 15 Eurodollar Loans shall be outstanding hereunder at any time (it being understood that, for purposes hereof, Eurodollar Loans with different Interest Periods shall be considered as separate Eurodollar Loans, even if they begin on the same date, although borrowings, extensions and conversions may, in accordance with the provisions hereof, be combined at the end of existing Interest Periods to constitute a new Eurodollar Loan with a single Interest Period). Amounts repaid or prepaid on the Tranche B Term Loan may not be reborrowed.

(ii) Any Continuing Tranche B Term Lender shall be deemed to continue such Lender’s Continuing Tranche B Term Loans to the extent requested by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.5(b). On the Closing Date, such Lender’s Continuing Tranche B Term Loans shall, to the extent requested by the Borrower, be continued for all purposes of this Credit Agreement as Tranche B Term Loans, and the Administrative Agent shall record in the Register the aggregate amounts of Continuing Tranche B Term Loans continued as Tranche B Term Loans. From and after the Closing Date, Continuing Tranche B Term Loans shall constitute Tranche B Term Loans for all purposes of this Credit Agreement.

(b) BORROWING PROCEDURES. The Borrower shall submit an appropriate Notice of Borrowing for the Tranche B Term Loan to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the Closing Date. Such Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) that the funding of the Tranche B Term Loan is requested and (ii) that the funding of the Tranche B Term Loan shall be comprised of Base Rate Loans. Each Lender shall make its Tranche B Term Loan Percentage of the Tranche B Term Loan available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Schedule 2.1(a), or at such other office as the Administrative Agent may designate in writing, by 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the Closing Date in Dollars and in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Each Continuing Tranche B Term Lender’s Continuing Tranche B Term Loans shall be continued as Tranche B Term Loans hereunder to the extent requested by the Borrower.

(c) MINIMUM AMOUNTS. Each Eurodollar Loan or Base Rate Loan that is part of the Tranche B Term Loan shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $2,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 (or the then remaining principal balance of the Tranche B Term Loan).

(d) REPAYMENT OF TRANCHE B TERM LOAN. The Borrower hereby promises to pay the outstanding principal amount of the Tranche B Term Loan in twenty-four (24) consecutive quarterly installments as follows (as such installments may hereafter be adjusted as a result of prepayments made pursuant to Section 3.3), unless accelerated sooner pursuant to Section 9.2:

Xxxxxxx X Principal Amortization Payment Dates	Tranche B Term Loan Principal Amortization Payment

Maturity Date	$	424,125,000

(e) INTEREST. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.1, the outstanding Tranche B Term Loan shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to:

(i) BASE RATE LOANS. During such periods as the Tranche B Term Loan shall be comprised in whole or in part of Base Rate Loans, such Base Rate Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Adjusted Base Rate.

(ii) EURODOLLAR LOANS. During such periods as the Tranche B Term Loan shall be comprised in whole or in part of Eurodollar Loans, such Eurodollar Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate.

The Borrower hereby promises to pay interest on the Tranche B Term Loan in arrears on each applicable Interest Payment Date (or at such other times as may be specified herein).

(f) TRANCHE B TERM NOTES. The Borrower hereby agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note evidencing the Tranche B Term Loan of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.5(f), with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount (a “TRANCHE B TERM NOTE”).

2.6. INCREMENTAL TERM LOANS; REVOLVING COMMITMENT INCREASE.

(a) The Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders) request (i) additional Tranche B Term Loans or one or more additional tranches of term loans (the “INCREMENTAL TERM LOANS”) or (ii) one or more increases in the amount of the Revolving Committed Amount (each such increase, a “REVOLVING COMMITMENT INCREASE”), provided that, (i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist and be continuing at the time that any such Incremental Term Loan is made or any such Revolving Commitment Increase becomes effective (and after giving effect thereto), and (ii) the Consolidated Net Senior Secured Leverage Ratio of the Borrower determined on a Pro Forma Basis as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower as if such Incremental Term Loans had been outstanding on the last day of such fiscal quarter shall be

equal to or less than the then applicable Consolidated Net Senior Secured Leverage Ratio. Each tranche of Incremental Term Loans and each Revolving Commitment Increase shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $25,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than $25,000,000 if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in the next sentence). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate amount of the Incremental Term Loans and the Revolving Commitment Increases shall not exceed $125,000,000. The Incremental Term Loans and the Revolving Commitment Increases (a) shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of collateral security with the Tranche B Term Loan and the Revolving Loans and (b) shall not mature earlier than the Maturity Date with respect to the Tranche B Term Loan (but may have nominal amortization prior to such date) and shall have an average life to maturity no shorter than the remaining average life to maturity of the Tranche B Term Loan and the Maturity Date with respect to the Revolving Loans (in the case of Revolving Commitment Increases) and (c) except as set forth above, shall be treated substantially the same as (and in any event no more favorably than) the Term Loans and the Revolving Loans(in each case, including with respect to mandatory and voluntary prepayments), provided that (i) the terms and conditions applicable to Incremental Term Loans maturing after the Maturity Date with respect to the Tranche B Term Loans may provide for material additional or different financial or other covenants or prepayment requirements applicable only during periods after the Maturity Date with respect to the Tranche B Term Loans and (ii) the Incremental Term Loans may be priced differently than the Term Loans. Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Commitment Increases. Incremental Term Loans may be made, and Revolving Commitment Increases may be provided, by any existing Lender or by any other bank or other financial institution (any such other bank or other financial institution being called an “ADDITIONAL LENDER”), provided that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld) to such Lender’s or Additional Lender’s making such Incremental Term Loans or providing such Revolving Commitment Increases if such consent would be required under Section 11.3(b) for an assignment of Tranche B Term Loans or Revolving Commitments to such Lender or Additional Lender. Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Commitment Increases shall become Commitments (or in the case of a Revolving Commitment Increase to be provided by an existing Revolving Lender, an increase in such Lender’s applicable Revolving Commitment) under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “INCREMENTAL AMENDMENT”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Credit Documents, executed by the Parent, the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.6. The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (each, an “INCREMENTAL FACILITY CLOSING DATE”) of such conditions as the parties thereto shall agree. The Borrower may use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Commitment Increases for any purpose not prohibited by this Credit Agreement. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Commitment Increases unless it so agrees. Upon each increase in the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.6, (a) each Revolving Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and

without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Lender providing a portion of the Revolving Commitment Increase (each a “REVOLVING COMMITMENT INCREASE LENDER”) in respect of such increase, and each such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed a portion of such Revolving Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding (i) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and (ii) participations hereunder in Swing Line Loans held by each Revolving Lender (including each such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Commitments of all Revolving Lenders represented by such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment and (b) if, on the date of such increase, there are any Revolving Loans outstanding, such Revolving Loans shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase be prepaid from the proceeds of additional Revolving Loans made hereunder (reflecting such increase in Revolving Commitments), which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Revolving Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in accordance with Section 3.12. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Credit Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment, this Credit Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Term Loans and/or Revolving Commitment Increase evidenced thereby as provided for in Section 11.6. Any such deemed amendment may be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent with the Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and furnished to the other parties hereto.

(b) This Section 2.6 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.5 or 11.6 to the contrary.

2.7. REDESIGNATION OF EXISTING LOANS AND COMMITMENTS. As of the Closing Date, the Existing Loans and Revolving Commitments (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) immediately prior to the Closing Date shall automatically, without any action on the part of any Person, be redesignated for all purposes of this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents as follows: (a) $125,000,000 of Revolving Commitments; and (b) $450,000,000 principal amount of Tranche B Term Loans, and for the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto acknowledge that the Loans outstanding hereunder on the Closing Date were not made in repayment of all or any portion of any Existing Loan. The Administrative Agent shall modify the Register accordingly to provide for such redesignation of the Existing Loans and Revolving Commitments (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) among the Lenders according to their respective proportionate shares thereof, as applicable. Each Exiting Lender shall be deemed, by its acceptance of any such payment, to have assigned and sold its Commitments and Loans under the Existing Credit Agreement to the Lenders in exchange for payment on the Closing Date of obligations owed to it under the Existing Credit Agreement.

SECTION III

OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO CREDIT FACILITIES

3.1. DEFAULT RATE.

Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of a default in the payment of any amount hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents, such overdue amount shall bear interest, payable on demand, at a per annum rate 2% greater than the rate which would otherwise be applicable (or if no rate is applicable, whether in respect of interest, fees or other amounts, then the Adjusted Base Rate plus 2%).

3.2. EXTENSION AND CONVERSION.

The Borrower shall have the option, on any Business Day, to extend existing Loans into a subsequent permissible Interest Period or to convert Loans into Loans of another interest rate type; provided, however, that (i) except as provided in Section 3.8, Eurodollar Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans or extended as Eurodollar Loans for new Interest Periods only on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto unless the Borrower makes payment of any amounts then due and owing pursuant to Section 3.12, (ii) Loans extended as, or converted into, Eurodollar Loans shall be subject to the terms of the definition of “INTEREST PERIOD” set forth in Section 1.1 and shall be in such minimum amounts as provided in, with respect to Revolving Loans, Section 2.1(b)(ii), or, with respect to the Tranche B Term Loan, Section 2.5(c), (iii) no more than 15 Eurodollar Loans shall be outstanding hereunder at any time (it being understood that, for purposes hereof, Eurodollar Loans with different Interest Periods shall be considered as separate Eurodollar Loans, even if they begin on the same date, although borrowings, extensions and conversions may, in accordance with the provisions hereof, be combined at the end of existing Interest Periods to constitute a new Eurodollar Loan with a single Interest Period), (iv) any request for extension or conversion of a Eurodollar Loan which shall fail to specify an Interest Period shall be deemed to be a request for an Interest Period of one month and (v) Swingline Loans may not be extended or converted pursuant to this Section 3.2. Each such extension or conversion shall be effected by the Borrower by giving a Notice of Extension/Conversion (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Schedule 2.1(a), or at such other office as the Administrative Agent may designate in writing, prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the Business Day of, in the case of the conversion of a Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan, and on the third Business Day prior to, in the case of the extension of a Eurodollar Loan as, or conversion of a Base Rate Loan into, a Eurodollar Loan, the date of the proposed extension or conversion, specifying the date of the proposed extension or conversion, the Loans to be so extended or converted, the types of Loans into which such Loans are to be converted and, if appropriate, the applicable Interest Periods with respect thereto. In the event the Borrower fails to request extension or conversion of any Eurodollar Loan in accordance with this Section 3.2, or any such conversion or extension is not permitted or required by this Section 3.2, then such Eurodollar Loan shall be automatically converted into a Base Rate Loan at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender notice as promptly as practicable of any such proposed extension or conversion affecting any Loan.

3.3. PREPAYMENTS

(a) VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENTS

The Borrower shall have the right to prepay Loans in whole or in part from time to time upon providing at least three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (which notice may be waived by the Administrative Agent) other than in connection with Revolving Loans; provided, however, that each partial prepayment of Loans (other than Swingline Loans) shall be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000,000 (or $500,000 in the case of Revolving Loans) and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof (or the then remaining principal balance of the Revolving Loans or the Tranche B Term Loan, as applicable, if less). Subject to the foregoing terms, amounts prepaid under this Section 3.3(a) shall be applied as the Borrower may elect; provided that if the Borrower shall fail to specify with respect to any voluntary prepayment, such voluntary prepayment shall be applied first to Swingline Loans, then Revolving Loans and then to the Tranche B Term Loan (and applied to the remaining Principal Amortization Payments ratably), in each case first to Base Rate Loans and then to Eurodollar Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities. All prepayments under this Section 3.3(a) shall be subject to Section 3.12, but otherwise without premium or penalty, and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, shall be accompanied by interest on the principal amount prepaid through the date of prepayment.

(b) MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS

(i) (A) REVOLVING COMMITTED AMOUNT. If at any time, the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans plus LOC Obligations plus Swingline Loans shall exceed the Revolving Committed Amount, the Borrower immediately shall prepay the Revolving Loans and (after all Revolving Loans have been repaid) cash collateralize the LOC Obligations, in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(B) LOC COMMITTED AMOUNT. If at any time, the sum of the aggregate principal amount of LOC Obligations shall exceed the LOC Committed Amount, the Borrower immediately shall cash collateralize the LOC Obligations in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(ii) EXCESS CASH FLOW. Within 105 days after the end of each fiscal year (commencing with the fiscal year ending on or about June 30, 2008), the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to (A) 50% (if the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio as of the end of such fiscal year is equal to or greater than 4.00 to 1.00), 25% (if the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio as of the end of such fiscal year is less than 4.00 to 1.00 but equal to or greater than 3.50 to 1.00) or 0% (if the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio as of the end of such fiscal year is less than 3.50 to 1.00) of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year minus (B) the amount of any voluntary prepayments made during such fiscal year of the Tranche B Term Loan or (to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction in the Revolving Committed Amount) the Revolving Loans (such prepayment to be applied as set forth in clause (vi) below).

(iii) ASSET DISPOSITIONS. Immediately upon the occurrence of any Asset Disposition Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Asset Disposition not applied (or caused to be applied) by the Credit Parties during the related Application Period to make Eligible Reinvestments (in each case, such prepayment to be applied as set forth in clause (vi) below).

All amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 3.3(b) shall be applied as follows: (A) with respect to all amounts prepaid pursuant to Section 3.3(b)(i)(A), to Revolving Loans and (after all Revolving Loans have been repaid) to a cash collateral account in respect of LOC Obligations, (B) with respect to all amounts prepaid pursuant to Section 3.3(b)(i)(B), to a cash collateral account in respect of LOC Obligations, (C) with respect to all amounts prepaid pursuant to Section 3.3(b)(ii), as the Borrower may elect, and (D) with respect to all amounts prepaid pursuant to Sections 3.3(b)(iii) and 3.3(b)(iv), FIRST, to the Tranche B Term Loans (with such prepayment being applied ratably to the remaining Principal Amortization Payments thereof) and SECOND, to the Revolving Loans and (after all Revolving Loans have been repaid) to a cash collateral account in respect of LOC Obligations (without any reduction in the Revolving Committed Amount). Within the parameters of the applications set forth above, prepayments shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and then to Eurodollar Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities. All prepayments under this Section 3.3(b) shall be subject to Section 3.12, but otherwise without premium or penalty, and shall, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, be accompanied by interest on the principal amount prepaid through the date of prepayment.

(vii) PREPAYMENT ACCOUNT. If the Borrower is required to make a mandatory prepayment of Eurodollar Loans under this Section 3.3(b), the Borrower shall have the right, in lieu of making such prepayment in full, to deposit an amount equal to such mandatory prepayment with the Administrative Agent in a cash collateral account maintained (pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) by and in the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent. Any amounts so deposited shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the prepayment of such Eurodollar Loans and shall be applied to the prepayment of the applicable Eurodollar Loans at the end of the current Interest Periods applicable thereto

or, subject to the terms of Section 3.12, as earlier requested in writing by the Borrower. At the request of the Borrower, amounts so deposited shall be invested by the Administrative Agent in Cash Equivalents maturing prior to the date or dates on which it is anticipated that such amounts will be applied to prepay such Eurodollar Loans; any interest earned on such Cash Equivalents will be for the account of the Borrower and the Borrower will deposit with the Administrative Agent the amount of any loss on any such Cash Equivalents to the extent necessary in order that the amount of the prepayment to be made with the deposited amounts may not be reduced.

(viii) NOTICE OF MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS. The Borrower agrees to use reasonable efforts to notify the Administrative Agent of any mandatory prepayments of the Loans required to be made pursuant to this Section 3.3(b).

3.4. TERMINATION AND REDUCTION OF REVOLVING COMMITTED AMOUNT.

(a) VOLUNTARY REDUCTIONS. The Borrower may from time to time permanently reduce or terminate the Revolving Committed Amount in whole or in part (in minimum aggregate amounts of $2,500,000 or in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the full remaining amount of the then applicable Revolving Committed Amount)) upon five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, no such termination or reduction shall be made which would cause the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans plus LOC Obligations plus Swingline Loans to exceed the Revolving Committed Amount, unless, concurrently with such termination or reduction, the Revolving Loans are repaid to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender of receipt by the Administrative Agent of any notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.4(a).

(b) TERM LOAN COMMITMENTS. The Tranche B Term Loan Commitment of each Lender, if any, shall automatically terminate at such time as such Lender shall have made available to the Borrower such Lender’s share of the Tranche B Term Loan.

(c) MANDATORY REDUCTIONS. The Revolving Committed Amount and the Swingline Committed Amount automatically shall be permanently reduced from time to time in accordance with the terms of Section 3.3(b)(vi).

(d) MATURITY DATE. Unless terminated sooner pursuant to Section 3.4(a) or Section 9.2, the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders and the LOC Commitment of the Issuing Lender shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date.

(e) GENERAL. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders (except to the extent that any Lender was a Defaulting Lender during the applicable period in which such fee accrued) in accordance with the terms of Section 3.5(a), on the date of each termination or reduction of the Revolving Committed Amount, the Unused Fee accrued through the date of such termination or reduction on the amount of the Revolving Committed Amount so terminated or reduced.

3.5. FEES.

(a) UNUSED FEE. In consideration of the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders hereunder, the Borrower hereby promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (except to the extent that any Lender was a Defaulting Lender during the applicable period in which such fee accrued) a fee (the “UNUSED FEE”) on the Unused Revolving Committed Amount computed at a per annum rate for each day during the applicable Unused Fee Calculation Period (hereinafter defined) at a rate equal to the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time. The Unused Fee shall commence to accrue on the Closing Date and shall be due and payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (and on any date that the Revolving Committed Amount is reduced pursuant to Section 3.4(a) and on the Maturity Date) for the immediately preceding quarter (or portion thereof) (each such quarter or portion thereof for which the Unused Fee is payable hereunder being herein referred to as an “UNUSED FEE CALCULATION PERIOD”), beginning with the first of such dates to occur after the Closing Date.

(b) LETTER OF CREDIT FEES

(i) STANDBY LETTER OF CREDIT ISSUANCE FEE. In consideration of the issuance of standby Letters of Credit hereunder, the Borrower hereby promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (except to the extent that any Lender was a Defaulting Lender during the applicable period in which such fee accrued) a fee (the “STANDBY LETTER OF CREDIT FEE”) on such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under each such standby Letter of Credit computed at a per annum rate for each day from the date of issuance to the date of expiration equal to the Applicable Percentage. The Standby Letter of Credit Fee will be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December for the immediately preceding quarter (or a portion thereof) and on the Maturity Date for the Revolving Commitments.

(ii) TRADE LETTER OF CREDIT DRAWING FEE. In consideration of the issuance of trade Letters of Credit hereunder, the Borrower hereby promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (except to the extent that any Lender was a Defaulting Lender during the applicable period in which such fee accrued) a fee (the “TRADE LETTER OF CREDIT FEE”) on such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under each such trade Letter of Credit computed at a per annum rate for each day from the date of issuance to the date of expiration equal to 1.25%. The Trade Letter of Credit Fee will be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December for the immediately preceding quarter (or a portion thereof) and on the Maturity Date for the Revolving Commitments.

(iii) ISSUING LENDER FEES. In addition to the Standby Letter of Credit Fee payable pursuant to clause (i) above and the Trade Letter of Credit Fee payable pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower hereby promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender without sharing by the other Lenders (i) a letter of credit fronting fee of 0.125% on the average daily maximum

amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit computed at a per annum rate for each day from the date of issuance to the date of expiration (which fronting fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December for the immediately preceding quarter (or a portion thereof)) and on the Maturity Date for the Revolving Commitments and (ii) the customary charges from time to time of the Issuing Lender with respect to the issuance, amendment, transfer, administration, cancellation and conversion of, and drawings under, such Letters of Credit.

(c) ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S FEES. The Borrower hereby (i) absolutely accepts and assumes all of the duties, obligations and liabilities of the Sponsor in, to and under the Administrative Agent’s Fee Letter to the same extent as if the Borrower had executed the Administrative Agent’s Fee Letter and (ii) promises to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account and for the account of JPMorgan Securities Inc., as applicable, the fees referred to in the Administrative Agent’s Fee Letter.

3.6. CAPITAL ADEQUACY.

(a) If any Lender has determined, after the date hereof, that the adoption or the becoming effective of, or any change in, or any change by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof in the interpretation or administration of, any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or compliance by such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or assets as a consequence of its commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then, upon notice from such Lender through the Administrative Agent to the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation of such reduced rate of return to the Borrower, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines that such additional amount is allocable to the existence of such Lender’s commitments or obligations hereunder. Each determination by any such Lender of amounts owing under this Section shall, absent demonstrable error, be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto.

(b) The Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 3.6 for any additional amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the change of law giving rise to such additional amounts and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the change of law giving rise to such additional amounts is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

3.7. LIMITATION ON EURODOLLAR LOANS. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Loan:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period; or

(b) the Required Lenders determine (which determination shall be conclusive) and notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower prompt notice thereof, and so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to make additional Eurodollar Loans, Continue Eurodollar Loans, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans and the Borrower shall, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding Eurodollar Loans, either prepay such Eurodollar Loans or Convert such Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement. The Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, will withdraw such determination pursuant to this Section promptly as circumstances allow.

3.8. ILLEGALITY.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Credit Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to make, maintain, or fund Eurodollar Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue Eurodollar Loans and to Convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make, maintain, and fund Eurodollar Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 3.10 shall be applicable). Each Lender will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will permit such Lender to continue to make, maintain, or fund Eurodollar Loans hereunder and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to it.

3.9. REQUIREMENTS OF LAW.

(a) If, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule, or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule, or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank, or comparable agency:

(i) shall subject such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) to any tax, duty, or other charge with respect to any Eurodollar Loans or its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans, or change the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Credit Agreement in respect of any Eurodollar Loans (other than Taxes and taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Lender by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal office or such Applicable Lending Office);

(ii) shall impose, modify, or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment, or similar requirement (other than the Eurodollar Reserve Requirement utilized in the determination of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities or commitments of, such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office), including the Commitment of such Lender hereunder; or

(iii) shall impose on such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Credit Agreement or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities or commitments;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase, by an amount deemed by such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) to be material, the cost to such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making, Converting into, Continuing, or maintaining any Eurodollar Loans or to reduce any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Credit Agreement with respect to any Eurodollar Loans, then the Borrower shall pay to such Lender on demand such amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction. If any Lender requests compensation by the Borrower under this Section 3.9, the Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue Eurodollar Loans, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.10 shall be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.9 and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to it. Any Lender claiming compensation under this Section 3.9 shall furnish to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(b) The Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 3.9 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the change of law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the change of law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

3.10. TREATMENT OF AFFECTED LOANS.

If the obligation of any Lender to make any Eurodollar Loan or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.7, 3.8 or 3.9 hereof, such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for such Eurodollar Loans (or, in

the case of a Conversion required by Section 3.8, on such earlier date as required by law as such Lender may specify to the Borrower with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 3.7, 3.8 or 3.9 hereof that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:

(a) to the extent that such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and

(b) all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as Eurodollar Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into Eurodollar Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.

If such Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 3.7, 3.8 or 3.9 hereof that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans pursuant to this Section 3.10 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurodollar Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurodollar Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding Eurodollar Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.

3.11. TAXES.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all payments by any Credit Party to or for the account of any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, EXCLUDING, in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on it as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document) (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “TAXES”). If any Credit Party shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions of Taxes (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.11) such Lender or the Administrative Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Credit Party shall make such deductions, (iii) such Credit Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law, and (iv) such

Credit Party shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 11.1, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no additional sums shall be payable pursuant to this Section 3.11(a) with respect to Taxes (A) that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with Section 3.11(d), or (B) that are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time the Lender becomes a party to this Credit Agreement or (C) unless imposed as a result of a change in treaty, law or regulation.

(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document (hereinafter referred to as “OTHER TAXES”).

(c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 3.11) paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest, and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.

(d) Each Lender that is not a United States person under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Credit Agreement in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with (i) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN or W-8 ECI, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces to zero the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Credit Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States and/or (ii) any other form or certificate required by any taxing authority (including any certificate required by Sections 871(h) and 881(c) of the Code), certifying that such Lender is entitled to an exemption from tax on payments pursuant to this Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents. In addition, each Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered form to the Borrower (or any other form adopted by the United States taxing authorities for such purposes). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(e) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the appropriate form pursuant to Section 3.11(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law, or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 3.11(a) or 3.11(b) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United

States; provided, however, that should a Lender, which is otherwise exempt from withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.

(f) If any Credit Party is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Lender pursuant to this Section 3.11, then such Lender will agree to use reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue if such change, in the judgment of such Lender, is not otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

(g) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Credit Parties hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Credit Parties contained in this Section 3.11 shall survive the repayment of the Loans, LOC Obligations and other obligations under the Credit Documents and the termination of the Commitments hereunder.

(h) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender receives a refund with respect to Taxes paid by the Borrower, which in the good faith judgment of such Lender is allocable to such payment, the Administrative Agent or Lender, respectively shall promptly pay such refund, together with any other amounts paid by the Borrower in connection with such refunded Taxes, to the Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender incurred in obtaining such refund, provided, however, that the Borrower agrees to promptly return such refund to the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, if it receives notice from the Administrative Agent or applicable Lender that such Administrative Agent or Lender is required to repay such refund. This section shall not be construed to require any Lender or the Administrative Agent to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to any Credit Party or any other Person.

3.12. COMPENSATION. Upon the request of any Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost, or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any payment, prepayment, or Conversion of a Eurodollar Loan or Quoted Rate Swingline Loan for any reason (other than in connection with any assignment by any Lender pursuant to Section 11.3(b), but including acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 9.2) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or

(b) any failure by the Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any condition precedent specified in Section 5 to be satisfied) to borrow, Convert, Continue, or prepay a Eurodollar Loan or Quoted Rate Swingline Loan on the date for such borrowing, Conversion, Continuation, or prepayment specified in the relevant notice of borrowing, prepayment, Continuation, or Conversion under this Credit Agreement.

With respect to Eurodollar Loans, such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the amount of interest (other than the Applicable Percentage) which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, Converted or Continued, for the

period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, Convert or Continue to the last day of the applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, Convert or Continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Eurodollar Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Percentage included therein, if any) over (b) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank Eurodollar market. Any Lender claiming compensation under this Section 3.12 shall furnish to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amounts to be paid to it hereunder. The covenants of the Borrower set forth in this Section 3.12 shall survive the repayment of the Loans, LOC Obligations and other obligations under the Credit Documents and the termination of the Commitments hereunder; provided, however, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 3.12 for any such loss, cost or expense incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the incurrence of such loss, cost or expense.

3.13. PRO RATA TREATMENT.

Except to the extent otherwise provided herein:

(a) LOANS. Each Loan, each payment or (subject to the terms of Section 3.3) prepayment of principal of any Loan or reimbursement obligations arising from drawings under Letters of Credit, each payment of interest on the Loans or reimbursement obligations arising from drawings under Letters of Credit, each payment of Unused Fees, each payment of the Standby Letter of Credit Fee, each payment of the Trade Letter of Credit Fee, each reduction of the Revolving Committed Amount and each conversion or extension of any Loan, shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans of the applicable type and Participation Interests in Loans of the applicable type and Letters of Credit.

(b) ADVANCES. No Lender shall be responsible for the failure or delay by any other Lender in its obligation to make its ratable share of a borrowing hereunder; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to fulfill its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of any requested borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent its ratable share of such borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such borrowing, and the Administrative Agent in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion but without any obligation to do so) make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall be able to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall promptly pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from the Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding

amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent at a per annum rate equal to (i) from the Borrower at the applicable rate for the applicable borrowing pursuant to the Notice of Borrowing and (ii) from a Lender at the Federal Funds Rate.

3.14. SHARING OF PAYMENTS.

(a) The Lenders agree among themselves that, in the event that any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of any Loan, LOC Obligations or any other obligation owing to such Lender under this Credit Agreement through the exercise of a right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, in excess of its pro rata share of such payment as provided for in this Credit Agreement, such Lender shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders a Participation Interest in such Loans, LOC Obligations and other obligations in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time, as shall be equitable to the end that all Lenders share such payment in accordance with their respective ratable shares as provided for in this Credit Agreement. The Lenders further agree among themselves that if payment to a Lender obtained by such Lender through the exercise of a right of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or other event as aforesaid shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored, each Lender which shall have shared the benefit of such payment shall, by repurchase of a Participation Interest theretofore sold, return its share of that benefit (together with its share of any accrued interest payable with respect thereto) to each Lender whose payment shall have been rescinded or otherwise restored. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing such a Participation Interest may, to the fullest extent permitted by law and in a manner not inconsistent with this Credit Agreement, exercise all rights of payment, including setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim, with respect to such Participation Interest as fully as if such Lender were a holder of such Loan, LOC Obligations or other obligation in the amount of such Participation Interest. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Credit Agreement, if any Lender shall fail to remit to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender an amount payable by such Lender to the Administrative Agent or such other Lender pursuant to this Credit Agreement on the date when such amount is due, such payments shall be made together with interest thereon for each date from the date such amount is due until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent or such other Lender at a rate per annum equal to, for the first two days, the Federal Funds Rate, and thereafter, the Adjusted Base Rate. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section 3.14 applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders under this Section 3.14 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

3.15. PAYMENTS, COMPUTATIONS, ETC.

(a) GENERALLY. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent in Dollars in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction, counterclaim or withholding of any kind, at the Administrative Agent’s office specified in Schedule 2.1(a) not later than 2:00 P.M. (New York

City time) on the date when due. Payments received after such time shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day. The Borrower shall, at the time it makes any payment under this Credit Agreement, specify to the Administrative Agent the Loans, LOC Obligations, Fees, interest or other amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied (and in the event that it fails so to specify, or if such application would be inconsistent with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Lenders in such manner as the Administrative Agent may determine to be appropriate in respect of obligations owing by the Borrower hereunder, subject to the terms of Sections 3.3 and 3.13(a)). The Administrative Agent will distribute such payments to such Lenders, if any such payment is received prior to 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on a Business Day in like funds as received prior to the end of such Business Day and otherwise the Administrative Agent will distribute such payment to such Lenders on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (subject to accrual of interest and Fees for the period of such extension), except that in the case of Eurodollar Loans, if the extension would cause the payment to be made in the next following calendar month, then such payment shall instead be made on the next preceding Business Day. Except as expressly provided otherwise herein, all computations of interest and fees shall be made on the basis of actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days, except with respect to computation of interest on Base Rate Loans which shall be calculated based on a year of 365 or 366 days, as appropriate. Interest shall accrue from and include the date of borrowing, but exclude the date of payment.

(b) ALLOCATION OF PAYMENTS AFTER ACCELERATION. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Credit Agreement to the contrary, after acceleration of the Credit Party Obligations pursuant to Section 9.2(b), all amounts collected or received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender on account of the Credit Party Obligations or in respect of the Collateral shall be applied as set forth in Section 6.5 of the Collateral Agreement.

3.16. EVIDENCE OF DEBT.

(a) Each Lender shall maintain an account or accounts evidencing each Loan made by such Lender to the Borrower from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Credit Agreement. Each Lender will make reasonable efforts to maintain the accuracy of its account or accounts and to promptly update its account or accounts from time to time, as necessary.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 11.3(b), and a subaccount for each Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the amount, type and Interest Period of each such Loan hereunder, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from or for the account of any Credit Party and each Lender’s share thereof. The Administrative Agent will make reasonable efforts to maintain the accuracy of the subaccounts referred to in the preceding sentence and to promptly update such subaccounts from time to time, as necessary.

(c) The entries made in the accounts, Register and subaccounts maintained pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 3.16 (and, if consistent with the entries of the Administrative Agent, clause (a)) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Credit Parties therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain any such account, such Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Credit Parties to repay the Credit Party Obligations owing to such Lender.

3.17. REPLACEMENT OF AFFECTED LENDERS.

If (i) any Lender having a Revolving Commitment becomes a Defaulting Lender or otherwise defaults in its Revolving Commitment, (ii) any Credit Party is required to make any payments to any Lender under Section 3.6, Section 3.8, Section 3.9 or Section 3.11 in excess of the proportionate amount (based on the respective Commitments and/or Loans of the Lenders) of corresponding payments required to be made to the other Lenders or (iii) in the event of a refusal by a Lender to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination which requires the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders and for which approval of such Lenders holding more than a majority in interest has already been obtained, the Borrower shall have the right to replace such Lender (the “REPLACED LENDER”) with one or more other Eligible Assignee or Eligible Assignees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “REPLACEMENT LENDER”), provided that (a) except in the case of clause (iii) above, no Event of Default then exists, (b) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 3.17, the Replaced Lender and Replacement Lender shall enter into an Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of, and participation in Letters of Credit by, the Replaced Lender and (c) all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Replaced Lender relating to the Loans so replaced (including, without limitation, such increased costs and excluding those specifically described in clause (b) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being paid) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement. Upon the execution of the appropriate Assignment and Acceptance, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (b) and (c) above and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such replaced Loans, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, (1) the Lender that acts as the Issuing Lender may not be replaced hereunder at any time that it has Letters of Credit outstanding hereunder unless arrangements satisfactory to the Issuing Lender (including the furnishing of a back-up standby letter of credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer, satisfactory to such Issuing Lender or the depositing of cash collateral into a cash collateral account maintained with the Administrative Agent in amounts and pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to such Issuing Lender) have been made with respect to such outstanding Letters of Credit and (2) the Lender that acts as the Administrative Agent may not be replaced hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Section 10.7. The Replaced Lender shall be required to deliver for cancellation its applicable Notes, if any, to be canceled on the date of replacement, or if any such Note is lost or

unavailable, such other assurances or indemnification therefor as the Borrower may reasonably request.

SECTION IV

GUARANTY

4.1. THE GUARANTY.

Each of the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantees to each Lender, each Affiliate of a Lender that enters into a Hedging Agreement, and the Administrative Agent as hereinafter provided, as primary obligor and not as surety, the prompt payment of the Credit Party Obligations in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) strictly in accordance with the terms thereof. The Guarantors hereby further agree that if any of the Credit Party Obligations are not paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise), the Guarantors will, jointly and severally, promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Credit Party Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Credit Documents or Hedging Agreements, the maximum liability of each Guarantor under this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall in no event exceed the maximum amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors and fraudulent conveyance or transfers (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 4.6).

4.2. OBLIGATIONS UNCONDITIONAL.

The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 4.1 are joint and several, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Credit Documents or Hedging Agreements, or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, or any substitution, release, impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Credit Party Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 4.2 that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against the Borrower or any other Guarantor for amounts paid under this Section IV until such time as the Credit Party Obligations have been Fully Satisfied. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the occurrence of any one or more of the

following shall not alter or impair the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

(a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Credit Party Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

(b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any of the Credit Documents, any Hedging Agreement between any Consolidated Party and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Credit Documents or such Hedging Agreements shall be done or omitted;

(c) the maturity of any of the Credit Party Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Credit Party Obligations shall be increased, modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under any of the Credit Documents, any Hedging Agreement between any Consolidated Party and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Credit Documents or such Hedging Agreements shall be waived or released or any other guarantee of any of the Credit Party Obligations or any security therefor shall be released, impaired or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;

(d) any Lien granted to, or in favor of, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Lenders as security for any of the Credit Party Obligations shall fail to attach or be perfected or shall be released; or

(e) any of the Credit Party Obligations shall be determined to be void or voidable (including, without limitation, for the benefit of any creditor of any Guarantor) or shall be subordinated to the claims of any Person (including, without limitation, any creditor of any Guarantor).

With respect to its obligations hereunder, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Person under any of the Credit Documents, any Hedging Agreement between any Consolidated Party and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Credit Documents or such Hedging Agreements, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Credit Party Obligations.

4.3. REINSTATEMENT.

The obligations of the Guarantors under this Section IV shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Credit Party Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Credit Party Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in

defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

4.4. CERTAIN ADDITIONAL WAIVERS.

Without limiting the generality of the provisions of this Section IV, each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of recourse to security for the Credit Party Obligations, except through the exercise of rights of subrogation pursuant to Section 4.2 and through the exercise of rights of contribution pursuant to Section 4.6.

4.5. REMEDIES.

The Guarantors agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, the Credit Party Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 9.2 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in said Section 9.2) for purposes of Section 4.1 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing the Credit Party Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or the Credit Party Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), the Credit Party Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 4.1. The Guarantors acknowledge and agree that their obligations hereunder are secured in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents and that the Lenders may exercise their remedies thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.

4.6. RIGHTS OF CONTRIBUTION.

The Guarantors hereby agree as among themselves that, if any Guarantor shall make an Excess Payment (as defined below), such Guarantor shall have a right of contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s Contribution Share (as defined below) of such Excess Payment. The payment obligations of any Guarantor under this Section 4.6 shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Credit Party Obligations until such time as the Credit Party Obligations have been Fully Satisfied, and none of the Guarantors shall exercise any right or remedy under this Section 4.6 against any other Guarantor until such Credit Party Obligations have been Fully Satisfied. For purposes of this Section 4.6, (a) “EXCESS PAYMENT” shall mean the amount paid by any Guarantor in excess of its Pro Rata Share of any Guaranteed Obligations; (b) “PRO RATA SHARE” shall mean, for any Guarantor in respect of any payment of Credit Party Obligations, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) as of the date of such payment of Guaranteed Obligations of (i) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all of its assets and properties exceeds the amount of all debts and liabilities of such Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder) to (ii) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all assets and other properties of all of the Credit Parties exceeds the amount of all of the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Credit Parties hereunder) of the Credit Parties; provided, however, that, for purposes of calculating the

Pro Rata Shares of the Guarantors in respect of any payment of Credit Party Obligations, any Guarantor that became a Guarantor subsequent to the date of any such payment shall be deemed to have been a Guarantor on the date of such payment and the financial information for such Guarantor as of the date such Guarantor became a Guarantor shall be utilized for such Guarantor in connection with such payment; and (C) “CONTRIBUTION SHARE” shall mean, for any Guarantor in respect of any Excess Payment made by any other Guarantor, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) as of the date of such Excess Payment of (i) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all of its assets and properties exceeds the amount of all debts and liabilities of such Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder) to (ii) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all assets and other properties of the Credit Parties other than the maker of such Excess Payment exceeds the amount of all of the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Credit Parties) of the Credit Parties other than the maker of such Excess Payment; provided, however, that, for purposes of calculating the Contribution Shares of the Guarantors in respect of any Excess Payment, any Guarantor that became a Guarantor subsequent to the date of any such Excess Payment shall be deemed to have been a Guarantor on the date of such Excess Payment and the financial information for such Guarantor as of the date such Guarantor became a Guarantor shall be utilized for such Guarantor in connection with such Excess Payment. This Section 4.6 shall not be deemed to affect any right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution that any Guarantor may have under applicable law against the Borrower in respect of any payment of Guaranteed Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all rights of contribution against any Guarantor shall terminate from and after such time, if ever, that such Guarantor shall be relieved of its obligations pursuant to Section 8.5.

4.7. GUARANTEE OF PAYMENT; CONTINUING GUARANTEE.

The guarantee in this Section IV is a guaranty of payment and not of collection, is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Credit Party Obligations whenever arising.

9.2. ACCELERATION; REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, upon the request and direction of the Required Lenders (or in the case of an Event of Default under Section 7.10, the Required Revolving Lenders), shall, by written notice to the Credit Parties take any of the following actions (except in the case of an event under paragraph (c)(ii) of Section 9.1 in respect of a failure to observe or perform the covenant in Section 7.10 if a Cure Notice has been given as set forth in Section 9.3), then the following actions may not be taken until such time:

(a) TERMINATION OF COMMITMENTS. Declare the Commitments terminated whereupon the Commitments shall be immediately terminated.

(b) ACCELERATION. Declare the Credit Party Obligations to be due and payable, whereupon the same shall be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Credit Parties.

(c) CASH COLLATERAL. Direct the Borrower to pay (and the Borrower hereby promises to pay, upon receipt of such notice) to the Administrative Agent additional cash, to be held by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in a cash collateral account as additional security for the LOC Obligations in respect of subsequent drawings under all then outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount equal to the maximum aggregate amount which may be drawn under all Letters of Credits then outstanding.

(d) ENFORCEMENT OF RIGHTS. Enforce any and all rights and interests created and existing under the Credit Documents including, without limitation, all rights and remedies existing under the Collateral Documents, all rights and remedies against a Guarantor and all rights of set-off.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in Section 9.1(f) shall occur with respect to the Borrower, then, without the giving of any notice or other action by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, (i) the Commitments automatically shall terminate, (ii) all of the outstanding Credit Party Obligations under clause (i) of the definition thereof automatically shall immediately become due and payable and (iii) the Borrower automatically shall be obligated (and hereby promises) to pay to the Administrative Agent additional cash, to be held by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in a cash collateral account as additional security for the LOC Obligations in respect of subsequent drawings under all then outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount equal to the maximum aggregate amount which may be drawn under all Letters of Credits then outstanding.

9.3. RIGHT TO CURE. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9, in the event that the Consolidated Parties fail to comply with the requirements of

106

the financial covenant set forth in Section 7.10 the Parent shall have the right (the “CURE RIGHT”), upon delivery by the Parent or the Borrower to the Administrative Agent of a notice (“CURE NOTICE”) that Parent intends to execute the Cure Right (which notice may be given during the period beginning on the last day of the applicable fiscal quarter and ending on the date delivery of the Parent’s compliance certificate calculating such covenant is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.1(c)) to (i) issue Capital Stock or subordinated debt for cash or otherwise receive cash contributions to the equity of Parent and (ii) contribute the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom (the “CURE AMOUNT”) to the Borrower as common equity and thereupon such financial covenant shall be recalculated giving pro forma effect to the following: (i) Consolidated EBITDA shall be increased solely for the purpose of determining compliance or pro forma compliance with Section 7.10 as of the end of the applicable fiscal quarter and applicable subsequent periods that include such fiscal quarter by an amount equal to the Cure Amount; and (ii) if, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations (but not, for the avoidance doubt, taking into account any repayment of Indebtedness in connection therewith), the requirements of such financial covenant shall be satisfied, then the requirements of such financial covenant shall be deemed satisfied as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of such financial covenants that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) in each four fiscal quarter period there shall be a period of at least one fiscal quarter in which the Cure Right is not exercised, (y) the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required for purposes of complying with such financial covenants and (z) during the period beginning upon delivery of a Cure Notice until the 15th Business Day thereafter, none of Administrative Agent or any Lender shall exercise the right to accelerate the Loans or terminate the Revolving Commitments and none of Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall exercise any right to foreclose on or take possession of the Collateral solely on the basis of an Event of Default having occurred and being continuing under Section 7.10.

SECTION X

AGENCY PROVISIONS

10.1. APPOINTMENT, POWERS AND IMMUNITIES.

(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as its agent under this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents with such powers and discretion as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent (which term as used in this sentence and in Section 10.5 and the first sentence of Section 10.6 hereof shall include its Affiliates and its own and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, and agents): (i) shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Credit Agreement and shall not be a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender; (ii) shall not be responsible to the Lenders for any recital, statement, representation, or warranty (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Credit Document or any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, any Credit Document, or for the value, validity, effectiveness,

107

genuineness, enforceability, or sufficiency of any Credit Document, or any other document referred to or provided for therein or for any failure by any Credit Party or any other Person to perform any of its obligations thereunder; (iii) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify the performance or observance of any covenants or agreements by any Credit Party or the satisfaction of any condition or to inspect the Property (including the books and records) of any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates; and (iv) shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with any Credit Document, except to the extent that the taking of such action or omission is found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to constitute its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Issuing Lender shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith until such time (and except for so long) as the Administrative Agent may agree at the request of the Required Lenders to act for the Issuing Lender with respect thereto; provided, however, that the Issuing Lender shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Section 10 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Issuing Lender in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the application and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to the Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in this Section 10 included the Issuing Lender with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to the Issuing Lender.

10.2. RELIANCE BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice, instrument, writing, or other communication (including, without limitation, any thereof by telephone or telecopy) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel for any Credit Party or Lender), independent accountants, and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until the Administrative Agent receives and accepts an Assignment and Acceptance executed in accordance with Section 11.3(b) hereof. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding on all of the Lenders; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable law or unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking any such action.

10.3. DEFAULTS.

The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received written

108

notice from a Lender or a Credit Party specifying such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 10.2 hereof) take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall reasonably be directed by the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as required by Section 11.6), provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders.

10.4. RIGHTS AS A LENDER.

With respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it, JPMorgan Chase Bank (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent) in its capacity as a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. JPMorgan Chase Bank (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent) and its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to, make investments in, provide services to, and generally engage in any kind of lending, trust, or other business with any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates as if it were not acting as Administrative Agent, and JPMorgan Chase Bank (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent) and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates for services in connection with this Credit Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

10.5. INDEMNIFICATION.

The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed under Section 11.5 hereof, but without limiting the obligations of the Credit Parties under such Section) ratably (in accordance with their respective (i) Revolving Commitments (or, if the Revolving Commitments have been terminated, the outstanding Revolving Loans and Participation Interests in Letters of Credit (including the Participation Interests of the Issuing Lender in Letters of Credit)) and (ii) outstanding Tranche B Term Loans (and Participation Interests therein)) for, and hold the Administrative Agent harmless from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees), or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (including by any Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of any Credit Document or the transactions contemplated thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under any Credit Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Person to be indemnified. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or expenses payable by the Credit Parties under Section 11.5, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Credit Parties. The agreements in this Section 10.5 shall survive the

109

repayment of the Loans, LOC Obligations and other obligations under the Credit Documents and the termination of the Commitments hereunder.

10.6. NON-RELIANCE ON ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND OTHER LENDERS.

Each Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries and decision to enter into this Credit Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Documents. Except for notices, reports, and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition, or business of any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates.

10.7. SUCCESSOR ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 90 days prior notice thereof to the Lenders and the Credit Parties. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right with the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld) to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States having combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 10 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

10.8. CO-SYNDICATION AGENTS.

The Co-Syndication Agents, in their capacity as such, shall have no rights, powers, duties, liabilities, fiduciary relationships or obligations under this Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents.

110

10.9. CO-DOCUMENTATION AGENTS.

The Co-Documentation Agents, in their capacity as such, shall have no rights, powers, duties, liabilities, fiduciary relationships or obligations under this Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents.

112

11.2. RIGHT OF SET-OFF; ADJUSTMENTS.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under Section 9.1(a), 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, other than payroll or trust accounts) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender (or any of its Affiliates) to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against any and all of the obligations of such Person then due and owing under this Credit Agreement or under any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or thereunder. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify in writing any affected Credit Party after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 11.2 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that such Lender may have.

11.3. BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT.

(a) The provisions of this Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Credit Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnified Parties) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:

(A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(B) the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lender, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Lender shall be required for an assignment of a Term Loan to an assignee that is a Lender, Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment.

113

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s and its Affiliates’ or Approved Funds’ Commitment, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 in the case of Revolving Commitments and $1,000,000 in the case of Tranche B Term Loans unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent;

(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 in respect of the applicable class of Commitments or Loans; provided that this subsection shall not be construed to prohibit assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one class of Commitments or Loans;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500;

(D) in the case of an assignment by a Lender to a CLO managed by such Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender, unless such assignment shall have been approved by the Borrower (the Borrower agreeing that such an approval, if requested, will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the assigning Lender shall retain the sole right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, provided that the Assignment and Acceptance between such Lender and such CLO may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of such CLO, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 11.6(a) that affects such CLO; and

(E) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.

(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 Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, 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 Acceptance, be released

114

from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance 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 3.9, 3.11, 3.12 and 11.5 for matters arising while such person was a Lender). If the assignee is not a United States person under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, it shall deliver to the Credit Parties and the Administrative Agent certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of Taxes. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.3 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.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LOC Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “REGISTER”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, 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 Lender 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 Acceptance 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 Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing 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 Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Credit 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 Consolidated Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender 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 Credit 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 the Credit Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Credit Documents; 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

115

Section 11.6(A) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.9, 3.11 and 3.12 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 11.2 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.14 as though it were a Lender.

(i) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.9, 3.11 and 3.12 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 3.11 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 3.11(d) as though it were a Lender.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Credit Agreement (i) to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A and any Operating Circular issued by such 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, (ii) in the case of any Lender which has made Tranche B Term Loans and is an investment fund, to the trustee under the indenture to which such fund is a party in support of its obligations to such trustee for the benefit of the applicable trust beneficiaries and (iii) to appropriate entities within the Farm Credit System, as collateral security.

(e) Any Lender may furnish any information concerning the Consolidated Parties in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants), subject, however, to the provisions of Section 11.14 hereof.

11.4. NO WAIVER; REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.

No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Administrative Agent or any Lender and any of the Credit Parties shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Administrative Agent or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle the Credit Parties to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

116

11.5. EXPENSES; INDEMNIFICATION.

(a) The Credit Parties jointly and severally agree to pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the syndication, preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, and amendment of this Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents, and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Administrative Agent as to its rights and responsibilities under the Credit Documents. The Credit Parties further jointly and severally agree to pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and one counsel to all of the Lenders, if any, in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of the Credit Documents and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability, cost, or expense results from the gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct of the Person seeking reimbursement or a breach by such Person of its obligations hereunder.

The Credit Parties jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender and each of their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, trustees, employees and agents (each, an “INDEMNIFIED PARTY”) from and against any and all obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits claims, damages, actual losses, liabilities, costs, expenses and disbursements (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees of the Administrative Agent and, except as provided below, one counsel to all of the Lenders and excluding taxes) that may be incurred by or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation, or proceeding or preparation of defense in connection therewith) the Credit Documents, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability, cost, or expense results from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates or any their respective officers, directors, trustees, employees or agents) or from a breach by such Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates or any their respective officers, directors, trustees, employees or agents) of its obligations hereunder. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 11.5 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any of the Credit Parties, their respective directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person or any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. No party hereto shall assert any claim against any other party hereto, any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective directors, trustees, officers, employees, attorneys, agents, and advisers, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Credit Documents, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans. The Borrower shall be entitled to assume the defense of any action for which indemnification is sought by an Indemnified Party hereunder with counsel of the Borrower’s choice at its expense (in which case the Borrower shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by an Indemnified Person except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to each Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the election by the Borrower to assume the defense of any such action, each Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such action, and the Borrower shall bear the reasonable fees, costs, and expenses of

117

such separate counsel, if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the Borrower to represent such Indemnified Party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the Borrower and such Indemnified Party and such Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Borrower (in which case the Borrower shall not have the right to assume the defense or such action on behalf of such Indemnified Party); (iii) the Borrower shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party to represent it within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or (iv) the Borrower shall authorize such Indemnified Party to employ separate counsel at the Borrower’s expense.

(b) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Credit Parties hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Credit Parties contained in this Section 11.5 shall survive the repayment of the Loans, LOC Obligations and other Credit Party Obligations and the termination of the Commitments hereunder.

11.6. AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS AND CONSENTS.

Neither this Credit Agreement nor any other Credit Document nor any of the terms hereof or thereof may be amended, changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless such amendment, change, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing entered into by, or approved in writing by, each of the Credit Parties party thereto and the Required Lenders, provided, however, that:

(a) without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, neither this Credit Agreement nor any other Credit Document may be amended, changed, waived, discharged or terminated so as to

(i) extend any Commitment or the final maturity of any Loan or of any reimbursement obligation, or any portion thereof, arising from drawings under Letters of Credit, or extend or waive any Principal Amortization Payment of any Loan, or any portion thereof,

(ii) reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest on any Loan or of any reimbursement obligation, or any portion thereof, arising from drawings under Letters of Credit (other than as a result of waiving the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or of any Fees,

(iii) reduce or waive the principal amount of any Loan or of any reimbursement obligation, or any portion thereof, arising from drawings under Letters of Credit,

(iv) increase the Commitment of a Lender over the amount thereof in effect (it being understood and agreed that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 5.2 or of any Default or Event of Default or mandatory reduction in the Commitments shall not constitute a change in the terms of any Commitment of any Lender),

118

(v) except as the result of or in connection with an Asset Disposition not prohibited by Section 8.5, release all or substantially all of the Collateral,

(vi) except as the result of or in connection with a dissolution, merger or disposition of a Consolidated Party not prohibited by Section 8.4 or Section 8.5, release the Borrower or substantially all of the other Credit Parties from its or their obligations under the Credit Documents,

(vii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 11.6 or Section 3.13(a),

(viii) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, or

(ix) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower or all or substantially all of the other Credit Parties of any of its or their rights and obligations under (or in respect of) the Credit Documents except as permitted hereby or thereby;

(b) without the consent of Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders) holding in the aggregate at least a majority of the outstanding Tranche B Term Loans (and Participation Interests therein), Section 3.3(b)(vi) may not be amended, changed, waived, discharged or terminated so as to extend the time for or change the amount or the manner of application of proceeds of any mandatory prepayment required by Section 3.3(b)(ii), (iii) or (iv) hereof;

(c) without the consent of the Administrative Agent, no provision of Section 10 may be amended, changed, waived, discharged or terminated;

(d) without the consent of the Issuing Lender, no provision of Section 2.2 may be amended, changed, waived, discharged or terminated;

(e) without the consent of the Swingline Lender, no provision of Section 2.3 may be amended;

(f) without the consent of Lenders holding in the aggregate at least two-thirds of (i) the aggregate Revolving Commitments and the outstanding Tranche B Term Loans or (ii) if all of the Revolving Commitments have been terminated, the outstanding Loans and LOC Obligations (including, without limitation, Participation Interests), amend this Section 11.6 to impose any greater restriction on the ability of any Lender to assign any of its rights and obligations hereunder; and

(g) Section 7.10 and defined terms used for purposes of Section 7.10 may be amended, modified, waived or eliminated with the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders.

Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all the Lenders is required in certain circumstances as set forth above, (x) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any bankruptcy reorganization plan that affects the Loans, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code supersedes the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein and (y) the Required Lenders shall determine whether or not to allow a Credit Party to use

119

cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding and such determination shall be binding on all of the Lenders.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Credit Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Credit Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents with the Tranche B Term Loans and Revolving Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Credit Agreement and the Credit Documents may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to reflect and implement the provisions of Section 2.6.

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Credit Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Tranche B Term Loans (“Refinanced Term Loans”) with a replacement “B” or “C” term loan tranche hereunder (“Replacement Term Loans”), provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans, (b) the weighted average life to maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans at the time of such refinancing and (c) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Term Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than, those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the latest final maturity of the Refinanced Term Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time on or prior to the date that is 120 days after the Closing Date, this Credit Agreement and any other Credit Document may be amended solely with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment is delivered in order to cure ambiguities or defects of a technical or immaterial nature in this Credit Agreement or the applicable Credit Document; provided that (i) the Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of such changes and (ii) such changes shall not be adverse to any Lender in any material respect.

11.7. COUNTERPARTS.

This Credit Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Credit Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart for each of the parties hereto. Delivery by facsimile by any of the parties hereto of an executed counterpart of this Credit Agreement shall be as

120

effective as an original executed counterpart hereof and shall be deemed a representation that an original executed counterpart hereof will be delivered.

11.8. HEADINGS.

The headings of the sections hereof are provided for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Credit Agreement.

11.9. SURVIVAL.

All indemnities set forth herein, including, without limitation, in Section 2.2(i), 3.11, 3.12, 10.5 or 11.5 shall survive the execution and delivery of this Credit Agreement, the making of the Loans, the issuance of the Letters of Credit, the repayment of the Loans, LOC Obligations and other obligations under the Credit Documents and the termination of the Commitments hereunder, and all representations and warranties made by the Credit Parties herein shall survive until this Credit Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with the terms of Section 11.13(b).

11.10. GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; VENUE.

(a) THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT AND, UNLESS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED THEREIN, THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document may be brought in the courts of the State of New York in New York County, or of the United States for the Southern District of New York, and, by execution and delivery of this Credit Agreement, each of the Credit Parties hereby irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the nonexclusive jurisdiction of such courts. Each of the Credit Parties further irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to it at the address set out for notices pursuant to Section 11.1, such service to become effective three (3) days after such mailing. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or to otherwise proceed against any Credit Party in any other jurisdiction.

(b) Each of the Credit Parties hereby irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document brought in the courts referred to in subsection (a) above and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(c) TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE LENDERS AND EACH OF THE CREDIT PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS

121

CREDIT AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

11.11. SEVERABILITY.

If any provision of any of the Credit Documents is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect and shall be construed without giving effect to the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.

11.12. ENTIRETY.

This Credit Agreement together with the other Credit Documents represent the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, if any, including any commitment letters or correspondence relating to the Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated herein and therein.

11.13. BINDING EFFECT; TERMINATION.

(a) This Credit Agreement shall become effective at such time on or after the Closing Date when it shall have been executed by each Credit Party and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall have received copies hereof (telefaxed or otherwise) which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each Lender, and thereafter this Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Credit Party, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns.

(b) The term of this Credit Agreement shall be until the Credit Party Obligations under clause (i) of such definition (other than contingent indemnity obligations) are Fully Satisfied.

11.14. CONFIDENTIALITY.

i) The Administrative Agent and each Lender (each, a “LENDING PARTY”) agrees to keep confidential any information furnished or made available to it by or on behalf of the Credit Parties pursuant to this Credit Agreement; provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Lending Party from disclosing such information (a) to any other Lending Party or any Affiliate of any Lending Party, or any officer, director, trustee, employee, agent, or advisor of any Lending Party or Affiliate of any Lending Party, provided in each case that such Person is informed of the confidential nature of such information, (b) to any other Person if reasonably incidental to the administration of the Credit Facilities, provided in each case that such Person is informed of the confidential nature of such information, (c) as required by any law, rule, or regulation, (d) upon the order of any court or administrative agency, (e) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or authority having jurisdiction over such Lending Party, (f) that is or becomes available to the public or that is or becomes available to any Lending Party other than as a result of a disclosure by any Lending Party or other Person bound by this Section 11.14 prohibited by this Credit Agreement, (g) in connection with any litigation to which such Lending Party or any of its Affiliates may be a party, provided, such Lending Party will, to the extent practical, use reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower prior to such disclosure, (h) to the

122

extent necessary in connection with the exercise of any remedy under this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, (i) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender, (j) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty (i) has been approved in writing by the Borrower and (ii) agrees in a writing enforceable by the Borrower to be bound by the provisions of this Section 11.14) and (k) subject to provisions substantially similar to those contained in this Section 11.14, to any actual or proposed participant or assignee.

Each Lender acknowledges that information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities, and confirms that it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and that it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with those procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.

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 or the other Credit Documents will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities. Accordingly, each Lender represents to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it has identified in its administrative questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain material non-public information in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.

11.15. SOURCE OF FUNDS.

Each of the Lenders hereby represents and warrants to the Borrower that at least one of the following statements is an accurate representation as to the source of funds to be used by such Lender in connection with the financing hereunder:

(a) no part of such funds constitutes assets allocated by such Lender to any separate account maintained by such Lender in which any employee benefit plan (or its related trust) has any interest;

(b) to the extent that any part of such funds constitutes assets allocated to any separate account maintained by such Lender, such Lender has disclosed to the Borrower the name of each employee benefit plan whose assets in such account exceed 10% of the total assets of such account as of the date of such purchase (and, for purposes of this clause (b), all employee benefit plans maintained by the same employer or employee organization are deemed to be a single plan);

(c) to the extent that any part of such funds constitutes assets of an insurance company’s general account, such insurance company has complied with all of the requirements of the regulations issued under Section 401(c)(1)(A) of ERISA; or

123

(d) such funds constitute assets of one or more specific benefit plans which such Lender has identified in writing to the Borrower.

As used in this Section 11.15, the terms “employee benefit plan” and “separate account” shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in Section 3 of ERISA.

11.16. REGULATION D.

Each of the Lenders hereby represents and warrants to the Borrower that it is a commercial lender, other financial institution or other “accredited” investor (as defined in SEC Regulation D) which makes or acquires or loans in the ordinary course of business and that it will make or acquire Loans for its own account in the ordinary course of business.

11.17. CONFLICT.

To the extent that there is a conflict or inconsistency between any provision hereof, on the one hand, and any provision of any Credit Document, on the other hand, this Credit Agreement shall control.

11.18. USA PATRIOT ACT

Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.

11.19. NO NOVATION; AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT.

(a) This Agreement does not extinguish the outstanding indebtedness evidenced by the Existing Credit Agreement or any Credit Documents or discharge or release any lien or security interest or any other security for the Loans or other obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, all of which liens and security interests shall continue to secure the Loans and other Credit Party Obligations under this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a substitution or novation of the original indebtedness or of the instruments securing the same, which shall remain in full force and effect, except as amended hereby or by instruments executed concurrently herewith.

(b) This Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be an amendment to and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement. All extensions of credit under the Existing Credit Agreement on the Closing Date shall remain outstanding following the Closing Date as specified in Sections 2.7 and 2.2(a) and shall be continued under this Credit Agreement, as amended in the manner set forth herein. All references to the Existing Credit Agreement in any other agreement or document shall, on and after the Closing Date, be deemed to refer to the Existing Credit Agreement as amended and restated hereby. Each Credit Party agrees, acknowledges and affirms that (i) each of the Collateral Documents to which it is a party shall remain in full force and effect except to the extent amended in connection hereunder and shall constitute security for

124

all extensions of credit pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement as amended and restated hereby and (ii) any reference to the Existing Credit Agreement appearing in any such Collateral Document shall on and after the Closing Date be deemed to refer to the Existing Credit Agreement as amended and restated hereby.

(c) On the Closing Date, each Exiting Lender shall be deemed to agree that, upon its acceptance of the outstanding amounts owed to it under the Existing Credit Agreement on the Closing Date, such Exiting Lender shall have consented to the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement as provided herein, the redesignation of certain Loans and Commitments (each as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) set forth in Sections 2.7 and 2.2(a) hereof and the assignment of the Loans and all other rights under the Existing Credit Agreement to the extent necessary to give effect to such redesignation set forth in Sections 2.7 and 2.2(a).
