Less than 1.00 to 1.00	475.00 bps	525.00 bps

(iii) Changes in the Applicable Margin based upon changes in the Leverage Ratio shall become effective on the third Business Day following the receipt by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.1(b), as the case may be, of the financial statements of the Borrower for the Testing Period most recently ended, accompanied by a Compliance Certificate in accordance with Section 8.1(c), demonstrating the computation of the Leverage Ratio. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, during any period when (A) the Borrower has failed to timely deliver its consolidated financial statements referred to in Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.1(b), accompanied by a Compliance Certificate in accordance with Section 8.1(c), (B) a Default under Section 10.1(a) has occurred and is continuing, or (C) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Applicable Margin shall be the highest number of basis points indicated therefor in the above matrix, regardless of the Leverage Ratio at such time.

(iv) In the event that any financial statement or Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 8.1(a), (b) or (c) is shown to be inaccurate (regardless of whether this Agreement or the Commitments are in effect when such inaccuracy is discovered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin for an applicable period than the Applicable Margin actually applied for such applicable period, then (i) the Borrower shall immediately deliver to the Administrative Agent a corrected Compliance Certificate for such applicable period, (ii) the Applicable Margin shall be determined as if such corrected, higher Applicable Margin were applicable for such period, and (iii) the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Lenders and/or the applicable Letter of Credit Issuers, the accrued additional interest owing (including for any retrospective periods) as a result of such higher Applicable Margin for such period.

Section 2.1. Establishment of the Credit Facility. On the Closing Date, and subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer agree to establish the Credit Facility for the benefit of the Borrower; provided, however, that at no time will (i) the Aggregate Credit Facility Exposure exceed the Total Credit Facility Amount, or (ii) the Credit Facility Exposure of any Lender exceed the aggregate amount of such Lender’s Commitment. The Revolving

Commitments (and the Revolving Commitment of each Lender) shall terminate on the Revolving Facility Termination Date and the Term Commitments (and the Term Commitment of each Lender) shall terminate on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

Section 2.2. Revolving Facility. During the Revolving Facility Availability Period, each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make a Revolving Loan or Revolving Loans to the Borrower from time to time pursuant to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, which Revolving Loans (i) may, except as set forth herein, at the option of the Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, or Converted into, Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, in each case denominated in Dollars, provided that all Revolving Loans made as part of the same Revolving Borrowing shall consist of Revolving Loans of the same Type; (ii) may be repaid or prepaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof; and (iii) shall not be made if, after giving effect to any such Revolving Loan, (A) the Revolving Facility Exposure of any Lender would exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (B) the Aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure plus the principal amount of Swing Loans would exceed the Total Revolving Commitment, or (C) the Borrower would be required to prepay Loans or cash collateralize Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 5.1(c). The Revolving Loans to be made by each Lender will be made by such Lender on a pro rata basis based upon such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of each Revolving Borrowing, in each case in accordance with Section 2.6 hereof.

Section 2.3. Term Loan. On the Closing Date, each Lender that has a Term Commitment severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make a Term Loan to the Borrower pursuant to such Lender’s Term Commitment, which Term Loans: (i) can only be incurred on the Closing Date in the entire amount of each Lender’s Term Commitment; (ii) once prepaid or repaid, may not be reborrowed, (iii) may, except as set forth herein, at the option of the Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, or Converted into, Term Loans that are Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, in each case denominated in Dollars, provided that all Term Loans made as part of the same Term Borrowing shall consist of Term Loans of the same Type; (iv) shall be repaid in accordance with Section 5.1(b); and (v) shall not exceed (A) for any Lender at the time of incurrence thereof the aggregate principal amount of such Lender’s Term Commitment, if any, and (B) for all the Lenders at the time of incurrence thereof the Total Term Loan Commitment. The Term Loans to be made by each Lender will be made by such Lender in the aggregate amount of its Term Commitment in accordance with Section 2.6 hereof.

Section 2.4. Swing Line Facility.

(a) Swing Loans. During the Revolving Facility Availability Period, the Swing Line Lender agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make a Swing Loan or Swing Loans to the Borrower from time to time, which Swing Loans (i) shall be payable on the Swing Loan Maturity Date applicable to each such Swing Loan; (ii) shall be made only in Dollars; (iii) may be repaid or prepaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof; (iv) may only be made if after giving effect thereto (A) the aggregate principal amount of Swing Loans outstanding does not exceed the Swing Line Commitment, and (B) the Aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure plus the principal amount of Swing Loans would not exceed the Total Revolving Commitment; (v) shall not be made if, after giving effect thereto, the Borrower would be required to prepay Loans or cash collateralize Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 5.1(c) hereof; (vi) shall not be made if the proceeds thereof would be used to repay, in whole or in part, any outstanding Swing Loan; and (vii) at no time shall there be more than five (5) Borrowings of Swing Loans outstanding hereunder.

(b) Swing Loan Refunding. The Swing Line Lender may at any time, in its sole and absolute discretion, direct that the Swing Loans owing to it be refunded by delivering a notice to such effect to the Administrative Agent, specifying the aggregate principal amount thereof (a “Notice of Swing Loan

Refunding”); provided, however, that if the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent are the same person or are Affiliates, a Notice of Swing Loan Refunding shall not be required to be delivered and the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to act as though such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding had been delivered. Promptly upon receipt of a Notice of Swing Loan Refunding, the Administrative Agent shall give notice of the contents thereof to the Lenders with Revolving Commitments and, unless an Event of Default specified in Section 10.1(h) in respect of the Borrower has occurred, the Borrower. Each such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding shall be deemed to constitute delivery by the Borrower of a Notice of Borrowing requesting Revolving Loans consisting of Base Rate Loans in the amount of the Swing Loans to which it relates. Each Lender with a Revolving Commitment (including the Swing Line Lender) hereby unconditionally agrees (notwithstanding that any of the conditions specified in Section 6.2 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not have been satisfied, but subject to the provisions of paragraph (d) below) to make a Revolving Loan to the Borrower in the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swing Loans to which such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding relates. Each such Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Payment Office not later than 4:00 P.M. (local time at the Payment Office), if such notice is received by such Lender prior to 12:00 Noon. (local time at its Domestic Lending Office), or not later than 4:00 P.M. (local time at the Payment Office) on the next Business Day, if such notice is received by such Lender after such time. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be made immediately available to the Swing Line Lender and applied by it to repay the principal amount of the Swing Loans to which such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding relates.

(c) Swing Loan Participation. If prior to the time a Revolving Loan would otherwise have been made as provided above as a consequence of a Notice of Swing Loan Refunding, any of the events specified in Section 10.1(h) shall have occurred in respect of the Borrower or one or more of the Lenders with Revolving Commitments shall determine that it is legally prohibited from making a Revolving Loan under such circumstances, each Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender), or each Lender (other than such Swing Line Lender) so prohibited, as the case may be, shall, on the date such Revolving Loan would have been made by it (the “Purchase Date”), purchase an undivided participating interest (a “Swing Loan Participation”) in the outstanding Swing Loans to which such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding relates, in an amount (the “Swing Loan Participation Amount”) equal to such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of such outstanding Swing Loans. On the Purchase Date, each such Lender or each such Lender so prohibited, as the case may be, shall pay to the Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds, such Lender’s Swing Loan Participation Amount, and promptly upon receipt thereof the Swing Line Lender shall, if requested by such other Lender, deliver to such Lender a participation certificate, dated the date of the Swing Line Lender’s receipt of the funds from, and evidencing such Lender’s Swing Loan Participation in, such Swing Loans and its Swing Loan Participation Amount in respect thereof. If any amount required to be paid by a Lender to the Swing Line Lender pursuant to the above provisions in respect of any Swing Loan Participation is not paid on the date such payment is due, such Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender on demand interest on the amount not so paid at the overnight Federal Funds Effective Rate from the due date until such amount is paid in full. Whenever, at any time after the Swing Line Lender has received from any other Lender such Lender’s Swing Loan Participation Amount, the Swing Line Lender receives any payment from or on behalf of the Borrower on account of the related Swing Loans, the Swing Line Lender will promptly distribute to such Lender its ratable share of such amount based on its Revolving Facility Percentage of such amount on such date on account of its Swing Loan Participation (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that if such payment received by the Swing Line Lender is required to be returned, such Lender will return to the Swing Line Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swing Line Lender.

(d) Obligations Unconditional. Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.4(b) and/or to purchase Swing Loan Participations in connection with a Notice of Swing

Loan Refunding shall be subject to the conditions that (i) such Lender shall have received, subject to the terms of Section 2.4(b), a Notice of Swing Loan Refunding complying with the provisions hereof and (ii) at the time the Swing Loans that are the subject of such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding were made, the Swing Line Lender making the same had no actual written notice from another Lender that an Event of Default had occurred and was continuing, but otherwise shall be absolute and unconditional, shall be solely for the benefit of the Swing Line Lender that gives such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding, and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against any other Lender, any Credit Party, or any other person, or any Credit Party may have against any Lender or other person, as the case may be, for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default; (C) any event or circumstance involving a Material Adverse Effect; (D) any breach of any Credit Document by any party thereto; or (E) any other circumstance, happening or event, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

Section 2.5. Notice of Borrowing.

(a) Time of Notice. Each Borrowing of a Loan (other than a Continuation or Conversion) shall be made upon notice in the form provided for below, which notice shall be provided by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office not later than (i) in the case of each Borrowing of a Eurodollar Loan, 12:00 Noon (local time at its Notice Office) at least three Business Days’ prior to the date of such Borrowing, (ii) in the case of each Borrowing of a Base Rate Loan, 12:00 Noon (local time at its Notice Office) on the proposed date of such Borrowing, and (iii) in the case of any Borrowing under the Swing Line Facility, 1:00 p.m. (local time at its Notice Office) on the proposed date of such Borrowing.

(b) Notice of Borrowing. Each request for a Borrowing (other than a Continuation or Conversion) shall be made by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower by delivering written notice of such request substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto (each such notice, a “Notice of Borrowing”) or by telephone (to be confirmed immediately in writing by delivery by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower of a Notice of Borrowing), and in any event each such request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing (which shall be in the Minimum Borrowing Amount), (ii) the date of the Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the Type of Loans such Borrowing will consist of, and (iv) if applicable, the initial Interest Period and the Swing Loan Maturity Date (which shall be less than 15 days). Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice permitted to be given hereunder, the Administrative Agent may act prior to receipt of written confirmation without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower entitled to give telephonic notices under this Agreement on behalf of the Borrower. In each such case, the Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(c) Minimum Borrowing Amount. The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing by the Borrower shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount. No partial Conversion of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto.

(d) Maximum Borrowings. More than one Borrowing may be incurred by the Borrower on any day, provided that (i) if there are two or more Borrowings on a single day (other than with respect to a Term Borrowing made on the Closing Date) by the Borrower that consist of Eurodollar Loans, each such Borrowing shall have a different initial Interest Period, and (ii) at no time shall there be more than six Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans outstanding hereunder.

Section 2.6. Funding Obligations; Disbursement of Funds.

(a) Several Nature of Funding Obligations. The Commitments of each Lender hereunder and the obligation of each Lender to make Loans, acquire and fund Swing Loan Participations and Letter of Credit Participations, as the case may be, are several and not joint obligations. No Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligation to make Loans or fund any participation hereunder and each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it and fund its participations required to be funded by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to fulfill any of its Commitments hereunder. Nothing herein and no subsequent termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 4.2 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder and in existence from time to time or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

(b) Borrowings Pro Rata. Except with respect to the making of Swing Loans by the Swing Line Lender, all Loans hereunder shall be made as follows: (i) all Revolving Loans made, and Letter of Credit Participations acquired by each Lender, shall be made or acquired, as the case may be, on a pro rata basis based upon each Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the amount of such Revolving Borrowing or Letter of Credit in effect on the date the applicable Revolving Borrowing is to be made or the Letter of Credit is to be issued (or is deemed issued), and (ii) all Term Loans shall be made by the Lenders having Term Commitments pro rata on the basis of their respective Term Commitments.

(i) Loans Generally. No later than 4:00 P.M. (local time at the Payment Office) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, each Lender will make available its amount, if any, of each Borrowing requested to be made on such date to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds, and the Administrative Agent promptly will make available to the Borrower by depositing to its account at the Payment Office (or such other account as the Borrower shall specify) the aggregate of the amounts so made available in the type of funds received.

(ii) Swing Loans. No later than 2:00 P.M. (local time at the Payment Office) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, the Swing Line Lender will make available to the Borrower by depositing to its account at the Payment Office (or such other account as the Borrower shall specify) the aggregate amount of Swing Loans requested in such Notice of Borrowing.

(d) Advance Funding. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and 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 by such Lender and the Administrative Agent has made the same available to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled 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 shall promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such 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 rate per annum equal to (i) if paid by such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Effective Rate or (ii) if paid by the Borrower, the then applicable rate of interest, calculated in accordance with Section 2.8, for the respective Loans (but without any requirement to pay any amounts in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.10).

(e) Notice to Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each proposed Borrowing, or Conversion or Continuation thereof, and Letter of Credit Issuance, and of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof or participation therein and of the other matters covered by the Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Continuation or Conversion, or Letter of Credit Request, as the case may be, relating thereto.

Section 2.7. Evidence of Obligations.

(a) Loan Accounts of Lenders. The Obligations of the Borrower owing to each Lender hereunder shall be evidenced by, and each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice, an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(b) Loan Accounts of Administrative Agent; Lender Register. The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan and Borrowing made hereunder, the Type thereof, the Interest Period and applicable interest rate and, in the case of a Swing Loan, the Swing Loan Maturity Date applicable thereto, (ii) the amount and other details with respect to each Letter of Credit issued (or deemed issued) hereunder, (iii) the amount of any principal due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof, and (v) the other details relating to the Loans, Letters of Credit and other Obligations. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain a register (the “Lender Register”) on or in which it will record the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make the Lender Register available to any Lender or the Borrower upon its request.

(c) Effect of Loan Accounts, etc. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.7(b) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations recorded therein; provided, that the failure of the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error (other than manifest error) therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Credit Party to repay or prepay the Loans or the other Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d) Notes. Upon request of any Lender or the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, (i) a Revolving Facility Note with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith to evidence the Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Revolving Loans made to it by such Lender, (ii) a Term Note with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith to evidence its obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Term Loan made to it by such Lender, and (iii) a Swing Line Note with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith to evidence the Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Swing Loans made to it by the Swing Line Lender; provided, however, that the decision of any Lender or the Swing Line Lender to not request a Note shall in no way detract from the Borrower’s obligation to repay the Loans and other amounts owing by the Borrower to such Lender or the Swing Line Lender.

Section 2.8. Interest; Default Rate.

(a) Interest on Revolving Loans. The outstanding principal amount of each Revolving Loan made by each Lender shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum that shall at all times be equal to (i) during such periods as such Revolving Loan is a Base Rate Loan, the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, and (ii) during such periods as such Revolving Loan is a Eurodollar Loan, the relevant Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar Loan for the applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time.

(b) Interest on Term Loans. The outstanding principal amount of each Term Loan made by each Lender shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum that shall at all times be equal to (i) during such periods as such Term Loan is a Base Rate Loan, the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, and (ii) during such periods as such Term Loan is a Eurodollar Loan, the relevant Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar Loan for the applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time.

(c) Interest on Swing Loans. The outstanding principal amount of each Swing Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing at a rate per annum that shall be equal to the Quoted Rate applicable thereto.

(d) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the above provisions, if a Default under Section 10.1(a) or an Event of Default is in existence, (i) all outstanding amounts of principal and, to the extent permitted by law, all overdue interest, in respect of each Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate, and (ii) the Letter of Credit Fees shall be increased by an additional 2% per annum in excess of the Letter of Credit Fees otherwise applicable thereto. In addition, if any amount (other than amounts as to which the foregoing subparts (i) and (ii) are applicable) payable by the Borrower under the Credit Documents is not paid when due, such amount shall bear interest, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.

(e) Accrual and Payment of Interest. Interest shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing to but excluding the date of any prepayment or repayment thereof and shall be payable by the Borrower:

(i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan, quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December,

(ii) in respect of each Eurodollar Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on the dates that are successively three months after the commencement of such Interest Period,

(iii) in respect of any Swing Loan, on the Swing Loan Maturity Date applicable thereto, and

(iv) in respect of all Loans, other than Revolving Loans accruing interest at a Base Rate, on any repayment, prepayment or Conversion (on the amount repaid, prepaid or Converted), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), and, after such maturity or, in the case of any interest payable pursuant to Section 2.8(d), on demand.

(f) Computations of Interest. All computations of interest on Eurodollar Loans and Swing Loans hereunder shall be made on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days. All computations of interest on Base Rate Loans and Unpaid Drawings hereunder shall be made on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable.

(g) Information as to Interest Rates. The Administrative Agent, upon determining the interest rate for any Borrowing, shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof. Any changes in the Applicable Margin shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions set forth in the definition of “Applicable Margin” and the Administrative Agent will promptly provide notice of such determinations to the Borrower and the Lenders. Any such determination by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

Section 2.9. Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.

(a) In the event that (y) in the case of clause (i) below, the Administrative Agent or (z) in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) below, any Lender, shall have determined on a reasonable basis (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto):

(i) on any date for determining the interest rate applicable to any Eurodollar Loan for any Interest Period that, by reason of any changes arising after the Closing Date, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in this Agreement for such Eurodollar Loan; or

(ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable by it hereunder in an amount that such Lender deems material with respect to any Eurodollar Loans (other than any increased cost or reduction in the amount received or receivable resulting from the imposition of or a change in the rate of taxes or similar charges) because of (x) any change since the Closing Date in any applicable law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or request (whether or not having the force of law), or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or request (such as, for example, but not limited to, a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves already includable in the interest rate applicable to such Eurodollar Loan pursuant to this Agreement) or (y) other circumstances adversely affecting the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in any such market; or

(iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any Eurodollar Loan has become unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any change since the Closing Date in any law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or the interpretation or application thereof, or would conflict with any thereof not having the force of law but with which such Lender customarily complies, or has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Closing Date that materially adversely affects the London interbank market;

then, and in each such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent in the case of clause (i) above) shall (1) on or promptly following such date or time and (2) within 10 Business Days of the date on which such event no longer exists give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, Eurodollar Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Continuation or Conversion given by the Borrower with respect to Eurodollar Loans that have not yet been incurred, Converted or Continued shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower or, in the case of a Notice of Borrowing shall, at the option of the Borrower, be deemed

converted into a Notice of Borrowing for Base Rate Loans to be made on the date of Borrowing contained in such Notice of Borrowing, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, upon written demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing the basis for the calculation thereof, which basis must be reasonable, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.9(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

(b) At any time that any Eurodollar Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.9(a)(ii) or (iii), the Borrower may (and in the case of a Eurodollar Loan affected pursuant to Section 2.9(a)(iii) the Borrower shall) either (i) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing) thereof on the same date that the Borrower was notified by a Lender pursuant to Section 2.9(a)(ii) or (iii), cancel said Borrowing, or, in the case of any Borrowing, convert the related Notice of Borrowing into one requesting a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or require the affected Lender to make its requested Loan as a Base Rate Loan, or (ii) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then outstanding, upon at least one Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to Convert each such Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan; provided, however, that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 2.9(b).

(c) If any Lender shall have determined that after the Closing Date, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged by law with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Lender or its parent corporation 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, in each case made subsequent to the Closing Date, has or would have the effect of reducing by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material to the rate of return on such Lender’s or its parent corporation’s capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender’s commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or its parent corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or its parent corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its parent corporation for such reduction. Each Lender, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.9(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, which basis must be reasonable, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish any of the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.9(c) upon the subsequent receipt of such notice.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) no Lender shall be entitled to compensation or payment or reimbursement of other amounts under Section 2.9 or Section 3.9 for any amounts incurred or accruing more than 120 days prior to the giving of notice to the Borrower of additional costs or other amounts of the nature described in such Sections, and (ii) no Lender shall demand compensation for any reduction referred to in Section 2.9(c) or payment or reimbursement of other amounts under Section 3.9 if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of such Lender to demand such compensation, payment or reimbursement in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements.

Section 2.10. Breakage Compensation. The Borrower shall compensate each Lender (including the Swing Line Lender), upon its written request (which request shall set forth the detailed basis for requesting and the method of calculating such compensation), for all reasonable losses, costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, cost, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Eurodollar Loans or Swing Loans) which such Lender may sustain in connection with any of the following: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans or Swing Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Continuation or Conversion (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 2.9(a)); (ii) if any repayment, prepayment, Conversion or Continuation of any Eurodollar Loan occurs on a date that is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto or any Swing Loan is paid prior to the Swing Loan Maturity Date applicable thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; (iv) as a result of an assignment by a Lender of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto pursuant to a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.11(b); or (v) as a consequence of (y) any other default by the Borrower to repay or prepay any Eurodollar Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or (z) an election made pursuant to Section 2.11(b). Such loss, cost, expense and liability to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the interest rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to effect a Borrowing, Conversion or Continuation, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such request within 10 days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.11. Change of Lending Office; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Sections 2.9(a)(ii) or (iii), 2.9(c), 5.3 or 3.9 requiring the payment of additional amounts to the Lender, such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another Applicable Lending Office for any Loans or Commitments affected by such event; provided, however, that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its Applicable Lending Office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such Section.

(b) If (i) any Lender requests any compensation, reimbursement or other payment under Sections 2.9(a)(ii) or (iii), 2.9(c) or 3.9 with respect to such Lender, or (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or Governmental Authority pursuant to Section 5.3, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with the restrictions contained in Section 13.5(c)), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations; provided, however, that (1) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (2) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and

accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts, including any breakage compensation under Section 2.10 hereof), and (3) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation, reimbursement or other payments required to be made under Section 2.9(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.9(c) or Section 3.9 with respect to such Lender, or resulting from any required payments to any Lender or Governmental Authority pursuant to Section 5.3, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation, reimbursement or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

(c) Nothing in this Section 2.11 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Sections 2.9, 3.9 or 5.3.

Section 2.12. Conversion and Continuation of Loans.

(a) Conversion and Continuation of Revolving Loans. The Borrower shall have the right, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to (i) Convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of Loans of one Type made to it into a Borrowing or Borrowings of another Type of Loans that can be made to it pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) Continue a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period as a new Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans with a new Interest Period; provided, however, that any Conversion of Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loans.

(b) Notice of Continuation and Conversion. Each Continuation or Conversion of a Loan shall be made upon notice in the form provided for below provided by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office not later than (i) in the case of each Continuation of or Conversion into a Eurodollar Loan, prior to 12:00 noon (local time at its Notice Office) at least three Business Days’ prior to the date of such Continuation or Conversion, and (ii) in the case of each Conversion to a Base Rate Loan, prior to 12:00 noon (local time at its Notice Office) on the proposed date of such Conversion. Each such request shall be made by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower delivering written notice of such request substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 hereto (each such notice, a “Notice of Continuation or Conversion”) or by telephone (to be confirmed immediately in writing by delivery by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower of a Notice of Continuation or Conversion), and in any event each such request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) the Borrowings to be Continued or Converted, (B) the date of the Continuation or Conversion (which shall be a Business Day), and (C) the Interest Period or, in the case of a Continuation, the new Interest Period. Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice permitted to be given hereunder, the Administrative Agent may act prior to receipt of written confirmation without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower entitled to give telephonic notices under this Agreement on behalf of the Borrower. In each such case, the Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

ARTICLE III.

LETTERS OF CREDIT

Section 3.1. Letter of Credit Issuances. On the Closing Date, each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued hereunder. During the Revolving Facility Availability Period, the Borrower may request a Letter of Credit Issuer at any time and from time to time to issue, for the account of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor, and subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set

forth, each Letter of Credit Issuer agrees to issue from time to time Letters of Credit denominated and payable in Dollars and in such form as may be approved by such Letter of Credit Issuer and the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no Letter of Credit Issuance shall be made if, after giving effect thereto, (i) the Letter of Credit Outstandings would exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment Amount, (ii) the Revolving Facility Exposure of any Lender would exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (iii) the Aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure plus the principal amount of Swing Loans outstanding would exceed the Total Revolving Commitment, or (iv) the Borrower would be required to prepay Loans or cash collateralize Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 5.1(c) hereof. Subject to Section 3.4 below, each Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date (including any renewal periods) occurring not later than the earlier of (y) one year from the date of issuance thereof, or (z) 30 Business Days prior to the Revolving Facility Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Lender Default exists, no Letter of Credit Issuer shall be required to issue any Letter of Credit unless either (i) such Letter of Credit Issuer has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate such Letter of Credit Issuer’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit of the Defaulting Lender or Lenders, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s or Lenders’ Revolving Facility Percentage of the Letter of Credit Outstandings; or (ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit, taking into account the potential failure of the Defaulting Lender or Lenders to risk participate therein, will not cause the Letter of Credit Issuer to incur aggregate credit exposure hereunder with respect to Loans and Letter of Credit Outstandings in excess of its Commitment, and the Borrower has undertaken, for the benefit of such Letter of Credit Issuer, pursuant to an instrument satisfactory in form and substance to such Letter of Credit Issuer, not to thereafter incur Loans or Letter of Credit Outstandings hereunder that would cause the Letter of Credit Issuer to incur aggregate credit exposure hereunder with respect to Loans and Letter of Credit Outstandings in excess of its Commitment.

Section 3.2. Letter of Credit Requests. Whenever the Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account or the account of any eligible Letter of Credit Obligor, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer written or telephonic notice (in the case of telephonic notice, promptly confirmed in writing if so requested by the Administrative Agent) which, if in the form of written notice, shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B-3 (each such request, a “Letter of Credit Request”), or transmit by electronic communication (if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer), prior to 12:00 noon (local time at the Notice Office) at least three Business Days (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer) prior to the proposed date of issuance (which shall be a Business Day), which Letter of Credit Request shall include such supporting documents that such Letter of Credit Issuer customarily requires in connection therewith (including, in the case of a Letter of Credit for an account party other than the Borrower, an application for, and if applicable a reimbursement agreement with respect to, such Letter of Credit). In the event of any inconsistency between any of the terms or provisions of any Letter of Credit Document and the terms and provisions of this Agreement respecting Letters of Credit, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall control.

Section 3.3. Notice of Letter of Credit Issuance. Each Letter of Credit Issuer shall, on the date of each Letter of Credit Issuance by it (other than on the Closing Date with respect to the Existing Letters of Credit), give the Administrative Agent, each applicable Lender and the Borrower written notice of such Letter of Credit Issuance, accompanied by a copy to the Administrative Agent of the Letter of Credit or Letters of Credit issued by it. Each Letter of Credit Issuer shall provide to the Administrative Agent a quarterly (or monthly if requested by any applicable Lender) summary describing each Letter of Credit issued (or deemed issued) by such Letter of Credit Issuer and then outstanding and an identification for the relevant period of the daily aggregate Letter of Credit Outstandings represented by Letters of Credit issued (or deemed issued) by such Letter of Credit Issuer.

Section 3.4. Auto-Renewal Letters of Credit. If a Letter of Credit Obligor so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Request, each Letter of Credit Issuer shall agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions; provided, however, that any Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions must permit such Letter of Credit Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Once any such Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions has been issued (or deemed issued), the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such Letter of Credit Issuer to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than 30 Business Days prior to the Revolving Facility Termination Date; provided, however, that such Letter of Credit Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if (i) such Letter of Credit Issuer has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof, or (ii) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is two Business Days before the date that such Letter of Credit Issuer is permitted to send a notice of non-renewal from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 6.2 is not then satisfied.

Section 3.5. Applicability of ISP98. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer and the applicable Letter of Credit Obligor, when a Letter of Credit is issued (or deemed issued), the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each Standby Letter of Credit.

Section 3.6. [Intentionally Omitted]

Section 3.7. Reimbursement Obligations.

(a) The Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse (or cause any Letter of Credit Obligor for whose account a Letter of Credit was issued (or deemed issued) to reimburse) each Letter of Credit Issuer, by making payment directly to such Letter of Credit Issuer in immediately available funds at the payment office of such Letter of Credit Issuer, for any Unpaid Drawing with respect to any Letter of Credit immediately after, and in any event on the date on which, such Letter of Credit Issuer notifies the Borrower (or any such other Letter of Credit Obligor for whose account such Letter of Credit was issued (or deemed issued)) of such payment or disbursement (which notice to the Borrower (or such other Letter of Credit Obligor) shall be delivered reasonably promptly after any such payment or disbursement), such payment to be made in Dollars, with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Letter of Credit Issuer, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 1:00 P.M. (local time at the payment office of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer) on the date of such payment or disbursement, from and including the date paid or disbursed to but not including the date such Letter of Credit Issuer is reimbursed therefor at a rate per annum that shall be the rate then applicable to Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.8(a)(i) that are Base Rate Loans or, if not reimbursed on the date of such payment or disbursement, at the Default Rate, any such interest also to be payable on demand. If by 11:00 A.M. on the Business Day immediately following notice to it of its obligation to make reimbursement in respect of an Unpaid Drawing, the Borrower or the relevant Letter of Credit Obligor has not made such reimbursement out of its available cash on hand or, in the case of the Borrower, a contemporaneous Borrowing hereunder (if such Borrowing is otherwise available to the Borrower), (x) the Borrower will in each case be deemed to have given a Notice of Borrowing for Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to reimburse such Unpaid Drawing (and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Lenders of such deemed Notice of Borrowing), (y) the Lenders shall, unless they are legally prohibited from doing so, make the Revolving Loans contemplated by such deemed Notice of Borrowing (which Revolving Loans shall be considered made under Section 2.2), and (z) the proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall

be disbursed directly to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer to the extent necessary to effect such reimbursement and repayment of the Unpaid Drawing, with any excess proceeds to be made available to the Borrower in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

(b) Obligations Absolute. Each Letter of Credit Obligor’s obligation under this Section 3.7 to reimburse, or cause another Letter of Credit Obligor to reimburse, each Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Unpaid Drawings (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower or any other Letter of Credit Obligor may have or have had against such Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any other Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender, including, without limitation, any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such drawing; provided, however, that neither the Borrower nor any other Letter of Credit Obligor shall be obligated to reimburse a Letter of Credit Issuer for any wrongful payment made by such Letter of Credit Issuer under a Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such Letter of Credit Issuer.

Section 3.8. Letter of Credit Participations.

(a) Immediately upon each Letter of Credit Issuance, the Letter of Credit Issuer of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender with a Revolving Commitment, and each such Lender (each a “Letter of Credit Participant”) shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Letter of Credit Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (an “Letter of Credit Participation”), to the extent of such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time of issuance, in such Letter of Credit, each substitute Letter of Credit, each drawing made thereunder, the obligations of any Letter of Credit Obligor under this Agreement with respect thereto (although Letter of Credit Fees relating thereto shall be payable directly to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders as provided in Section 4.1 and the Letter of Credit Participants shall have no right to receive any portion of any fees of the nature contemplated by Section 4.1(c) or Section 4.1(e)), the obligations of any Letter of Credit Obligor under any Letter of Credit Documents pertaining thereto, and any security for, or guaranty pertaining to, any of the foregoing.

(b) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, a Letter of Credit Issuer shall not have any obligation relative to the Letter of Credit Participants other than to determine that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by a Letter of Credit Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not create for such Letter of Credit Issuer any resulting liability.

(c) If a Letter of Credit Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall not have reimbursed (or caused any applicable Letter of Credit Obligor shall not have reimbursed) such amount in full to such Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 3.7, such Letter of Credit Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Letter of Credit Participant of such failure, and each Letter of Credit Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer, the amount of such Letter of Credit Participant’s Revolving Facility Percentage of such payment in Dollars and in same-day funds; provided, however, that no Letter of Credit Participant shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent its Revolving Facility Percentage of such unreimbursed amount for any wrongful payment made by such Letter of Credit Issuer under a Letter of Credit as a result

of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such Letter of Credit Issuer. If the Administrative Agent so notifies any Letter of Credit Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit prior to 11:00 A.M. (local time at its Notice Office) on any Business Day, such Letter of Credit Participant shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer such Letter of Credit Participant’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same-day funds. If and to the extent such Letter of Credit Participant shall not have so made its Revolving Facility Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer, such Letter of Credit Participant agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer, forthwith on demand, such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. The failure of any Letter of Credit Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer its Revolving Facility Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other Letter of Credit Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer its Revolving Facility Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Letter of Credit Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other Letter of Credit Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer such other Letter of Credit Participant’s Revolving Facility Percentage of any such payment.

(d) Whenever a Letter of Credit Issuer receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer any payments from the Letter of Credit Participants pursuant to subpart (c) above, such Letter of Credit Issuer shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each Letter of Credit Participant that has paid its Revolving Facility Percentage thereof, in same-day funds, an amount equal to such Letter of Credit Participant’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the principal amount thereof and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective Letter of Credit Participations, as and to the extent so received.

(e) The obligations of the Letter of Credit Participants to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to counterclaim, set-off or other defense or any other qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents;

(ii) the existence of any claim, set-off defense or other right that the Borrower (or any other Letter of Credit Obligor) may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer, any Lender, or other person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower (or any other Letter of Credit Obligor) and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit), other than any claim that the Borrower (or any other Letter of Credit Obligor) may have against any applicable Letter of Credit Issuer for gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Letter of Credit Issuer in making payment under any applicable Letter of Credit;

(iii) any draft, certificate or other document presented under the Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Credit Documents; or

(v) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.

(f) To the extent any Letter of Credit Issuer is not indemnified by the Borrower or any Letter of Credit Obligor, the Letter of Credit Participants will reimburse and indemnify such Letter of Credit Issuer, in proportion to their respective Revolving Facility Percentages, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature that may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by such Letter of Credit Issuer in performing its respective duties in any way related to or arising out of Letter of Credit Issuances by it; provided, however, that no Letter of Credit Participants shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Letter of Credit Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 3.9. Increased Costs to Letter of Credit Issuers. If after the Closing Date, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, 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 Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) by any such authority, central bank or comparable agency (in each case made subsequent to the Closing Date) shall either (i) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against Letters of Credit issued (or deemed issued) by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender’s participation therein, or (ii) impose on such Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender any other conditions affecting this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or such Lender’s participation therein; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender hereunder (other than any increased cost or reduction in the amount received or receivable resulting from the imposition of or a change in the rate of taxes or similar charges), then, upon demand to the Borrower by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender (a copy of which notice shall be sent by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate any such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender for such increased cost or reduction. A certificate submitted to the Borrower by any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender, as the case may be (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender to the Administrative Agent), setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for the determination of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate any Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender as aforesaid shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower absent manifest error, although the failure to deliver any such certificate shall not release or diminish the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.9.

ARTICLE IV.

If at the end of any such 270 day period any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds has not been so reinvested, the Borrower will immediately make a prepayment of the Loans, as provided above.

(vi) Certain Proceeds of Equity Sales. Not later than the Business Day following the date of the receipt by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries of the cash proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and commissions, placement agent fees and other customary fees and costs associated therewith) from any sale or issuance by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of its own Equity Interests as the case may be, after the Closing Date (other than (A) any sale or issuance to management, employees (or key employees) or directors pursuant to stock option or similar plans for the benefit of management, employees (or key employees) or directors generally or (B) any sale or issuance to management or employees pursuant to stock purchase plans or similar plans for the benefit of management or employees (or key employees) generally, up to an aggregate amount of $550,000 per fiscal year), (C) the issuance or sale of any Equity Interests by any Subsidiary of the Borrower to the Borrower or any other Subsidiary of the Borrower or (D) the issuance or sale of any Equity Interests by the Borrower on or before the 30th day following the Closing Date pursuant to the Equity Financing Documents or (E) the issuance or sale by a Care For Kids Subsidiary to a Minority Holder of any Equity Interests in such Care For Kids Subsidiary to the extent permitted by Section 9.15), the Borrower will make a prepayment of the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such net proceeds in accordance with Section 5.1(d) below.

shall be required if the Borrower immediately deposits such Cash Proceeds in a cash collateral deposit account over which the Administrative Agent shall have sole dominion and control, and which shall constitute part of the Collateral under the Security Documents and may be applied as provided in Section 10.3 if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent is authorized to disburse amounts from such cash collateral deposit account to or at the direction of the Borrower for application to the costs of rebuilding or restoration of the affected property. Any amounts not so applied to the costs of rebuilding or restoration or as provided in Section 10.3 shall be applied to the prepayment of the Loans as provided above.

With respect to each repayment or prepayment of Loans made or required by this Section, the Borrower shall designate the Types of Loans that are to be repaid or prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which such repayment or prepayment is to be made; provided, however, that (i) the Borrower shall first so designate all Loans that are Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Loans with Interest Periods ending on the date of repayment or prepayment prior to designating any other Eurodollar Loans for repayment or prepayment, and (ii) if the outstanding principal amount of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing is reduced below the applicable Minimum Borrowing Amount as a result of any such repayment or prepayment, then all the Loans outstanding pursuant to such Borrowing shall be Converted into Base Rate Loans. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its sole discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.10.

(b) Application of Payments. Except as specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement and subject to Section 10.3, (i) all payments and prepayments of Revolving Loans and Unpaid Drawings with respect to Letters of Credit shall be applied by the Administrative Agent on a pro rata basis based upon each Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the amount of such prepayment, (ii) all payments and prepayments of Term Loans shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reduce the principal amount of the Term Loans made by each Lender with a Term Commitment, pro rata on the basis of their respective Term Commitments, and (iii) all payments or prepayments of Swing Loans shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to pay or prepay such Swing Loans.

Section 5.3. Net Payments.

(a) Except as provided for in Section 5.3(b), all payments made by the Borrower hereunder, under any Note or any other Credit Document, including all payments made by the Borrower pursuant to its guaranty obligations under Article XII, will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding, except as provided in this Section 5.3(a), any tax imposed on or measured by the net income or net profits of a Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction under which such Lender is organized or the jurisdiction in which the principal office or Applicable Lending Office of such Lender, as applicable, is located or any subdivision thereof or therein) and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect to such non-excluded taxes, levies imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to collectively as “Taxes”). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the Borrower agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes and such additional amounts (including additional amounts to compensate for withholding on amounts paid pursuant to this Section 5.3) as may be necessary so that every payment by it of all amounts due hereunder, under any Note or under any other Credit Document, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in such Note or in such other Credit Document. If any amounts are payable in respect of Taxes pursuant to this Section 5.3(a), the Borrower agrees to reimburse each Lender, upon the written request of such Lender, for taxes imposed on or measured by the net income or profits of such Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized or in which the principal office or Applicable Lending Office of such Lender is located, as the case may be, or under the laws of any political subdivision or taxing authority therein, and for any withholding of income or similar taxes as such Lender shall determine are payable by, or withheld from, such Lender in respect of such amounts so paid to or on behalf of such Lender pursuant to the preceding

sentence and in respect of any amounts paid to or on behalf of such Lender pursuant to this sentence, which request shall be accompanied by a statement from such Lender setting forth, in reasonable detail, the computations used in determining such amounts. The Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent within 45 days after the date the payment of any Taxes, or any withholding or deduction on account thereof, is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts, or other evidence satisfactory to the respective Lender, evidencing such payment by the Borrower. The Borrower will indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and reimburse the Administrative Agent or such Lender upon its written request, for the amount of any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid or withheld by such Lender.

(b) Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for Federal income tax purposes and that is entitled to claim an exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to a payment by Borrower agrees to provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date, or in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.5 (unless the respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or transfer and such Lender is in compliance with the provisions of this Section), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender, and from time to time thereafter if required by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent: (i) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN, W-8ECI, W-8EXP or W-8IMY (or successor, substitute or other appropriate forms and, in the case of Form W-8IMY, complete with accompanying Forms W-8BEN with respect to beneficial owners of the payment) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement to exemption from or a reduced rate of withholding of United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement, any Note or any other Credit Document, or (ii) if the Lender cannot deliver the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms referred to in clause (i) above, (x) a certificate in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (any such certificate, an “Exemption Certificate”) and (y) other appropriate documentation certifying to such Lender’s entitlement to a complete exemption from, or reduced rate of withholding from, United States withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement, any Note or any other Credit Document. In addition, each Lender agrees that from time to time after the Closing Date, when a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, it will deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two new accurate and complete original signed copies of the applicable Internal Revenue Service Form, or an Exemption Certificate and related documentation, as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement, any Note or any other Credit Document, or it shall immediately notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to deliver any such Form or Exemption Certificate and related documentation, in which case such Lender shall not be required to deliver any such Form or Exemption Certificate and related documentation pursuant to this Section 5.3(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.3(a), but subject to Section 13.5(c) and the immediately succeeding sentence, (x) the Borrower shall be entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by law, to deduct or withhold income or other similar taxes imposed by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from interest, fees or other amounts payable hereunder for the account of any Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for United States federal income tax purposes and that has not provided to the Borrower such Forms or such Exemption Certificate and related documentation that establish a complete exemption from or reduction in the rate of such deduction or withholding and (y) the Borrower shall not be obligated pursuant to Section 5.3(a) hereof to gross-up payments to be made to a Lender in respect of income or similar taxes imposed by the United States or any additional amounts with respect thereto (i) if such Lender has not provided to the Borrower the Internal Revenue Service forms required to be provided to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.3(b) or (ii) in the case of a payment other than interest, to a

Lender described in clause (ii) above, to the extent that such forms do not establish a complete exemption from withholding of such taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.3(a), but subject to Section 13.5(c) and the immediately succeeding sentence, (x) the Borrower shall be entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by law, to deduct or withhold income or other similar taxes imposed by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from interest, fees or other amounts payable hereunder for the account of any Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for United States federal income tax purposes and that has not provided to the Borrower such forms that establish a complete exemption from such deduction or withholding and (y) the Borrower shall not be obligated pursuant to Section 5.3(a) hereof to gross-up payments to be made to a Lender in respect of income or similar taxes imposed by the United States or any additional amounts with respect thereto (i) if such Lender has not provided to the Borrower the Internal Revenue Service forms required to be provided to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.3(b) or (ii) in the case of a payment other than interest, to a Lender described in clause (ii) above, to the extent that such forms do not establish a complete exemption from withholding of such taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding sentence or elsewhere in this Section 5.3 and except as specifically provided for in Section 13.5(c), the Borrower agrees to pay additional amounts and indemnify each Lender in the manner set forth in Section 5.3(a) (without regard to the identity of the jurisdiction requiring the deduction or withholding) in respect of any Taxes deducted or withheld by it as described in the previous sentence as a result of any changes after the Closing Date in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting or withholding of income or similar Taxes.

(c) If any Lender, in its sole opinion, determines that it has finally and irrevocably received or been granted a refund in respect of any Taxes as to which indemnification has been paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.3, it shall promptly remit such refund (including any interest received in respect thereof), net of all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses to the Borrower; provided, however, that the Borrower agrees to promptly return any such refund (plus interest) to such Lender in the event such Lender is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority. Any such Lender shall provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment from the relevant taxing authority (redacting any unrelated confidential information contained therein) requiring repayment of such refund. Nothing contained herein shall impose an obligation on any Lender to apply for any such refund.

Section 7.2. Corporate Power and Authority, etc. Each Credit Party has the corporate, partnership or other organizational power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of the Credit Documents and the Equity Financing Documents to which it is party and has taken all necessary corporate or other organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Credit Documents to which it is party. Each Credit Party has duly executed and delivered each Credit Document and the Equity Financing Documents to which it is party and each Credit Document and each Equity Financing Document to which it is party constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement and obligation of such Credit Party enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).

Section 7.3. No Violation. Neither the execution, delivery and performance by any Credit Party of the Credit Documents and the Equity Financing Documents to which it is party nor compliance with the terms and provisions thereof (i) will contravene any material provision of any law, statute, rule, regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority applicable to such Credit Party or its material properties and assets, (ii) will conflict with or result in any breach of, any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien (other than the Liens created pursuant to the Security Documents) upon any of the property or assets of such Credit Party pursuant to the terms of any promissory note, bond, debenture, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, credit or loan agreement, or any other material agreement or other instrument, to which such Credit Party is a party or by which it or any of its property or assets are bound or to which it may be subject, or (iii) will violate any provision of the Organizational Documents of such Credit Party.

Section 7.4. Governmental Approvals. No order, consent, approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any Governmental Authority is required to authorize or is required as a condition to (i) the execution, delivery and performance by any Credit Party of any Credit Document to which it is a party or any of its obligations thereunder, or (ii) the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any Credit Document to which any Credit Party is a party, except the filing and recording of financing statements and other documents necessary in order to perfect the Liens created by the Security Documents.

The Borrower is not engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. At no time would more than 25% of the value of the assets of the Borrower or of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries that are subject to any “arrangement” (as such term is used in Section 221.2(g) of such Regulation U) hereunder be represented by Margin Stock.

Section 7.7. Financial Statements, etc.

(a) The Borrower has furnished to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Co-Lead Arrangers complete and correct copies of (i) the audited consolidated balance sheets of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and the related audited consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal year of the Borrower then ended, accompanied by the report thereon of PricewaterhouseCoopers or another accounting firm of nationally recognized standing that is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; and (ii) the condensed consolidated balance sheets of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal quarters ended as of March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009 and the related condensed consolidated statements of income and of cash flows of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal period then ended. All such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied (except as stated therein), and fairly present the financial position of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates indicated and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the respective periods indicated, subject in the case of any such financial statements that are unaudited, to normal audit adjustments, none of which will involve a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries did not have, as of the date of the latest financial statements referred to above, and will not have as of the Closing Date after giving effect to the incurrence of Loans or Letter of Credit Issuances hereunder, any material or significant contingent liability or liability for taxes, long-term lease or unusual forward or long-term commitment that is not reflected in the foregoing financial statements or the notes thereto in accordance with GAAP and that in any such case is material in relation to the business, operations, properties, assets, financial or other condition or prospects of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

(b) The financial projections of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal years 2009 through 2012 prepared by the Borrower and delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Co-Lead Arrangers and the Lenders (the “Financial Projections”) were prepared on behalf of the Borrower in good faith after taking into account historical levels of business activity of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, known trends, including general economic trends, and all other information, assumptions and estimates considered by management of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to be pertinent thereto; provided, however, that no representation or warranty is made as to the impact of future general economic conditions or as to whether the Borrower’s projected consolidated results as set forth in the Financial Projections will actually be realized, it being recognized by the Lenders that such projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results for the periods covered by the Financial

Projections may differ materially from the Financial Projections. No facts are known to the Borrower as of the Closing Date which, if reflected in the Financial Projections, would result in a material adverse change in the assets, liabilities, results of operations or cash flows reflected therein.

Section 7.8. Solvency. The Borrower has received consideration that is the reasonable equivalent value of the obligations and liabilities that the Borrower has incurred to the Administrative Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders under the Credit Documents. The Borrower now has capital sufficient to carry on its business and transactions and all business and transactions in which it is about to engage and is now solvent and able to pay its debts as they mature and the Borrower, as of the Closing Date, owns property having a value, both at fair valuation and at present fair salable value, greater than the amount required to pay the Borrower’s debts; and the Borrower is not entering into the Credit Documents with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud its creditors. For purposes of this Section 7.8, “debt” means any liability on a claim, and “claim” means (x) right to payment whether or not such a right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured or unsecured; or (y) right to an equitable remedy for breach of performance if such breach gives rise to a payment, whether or not such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured or unsecured.

Section 7.9. No Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2008, there has been no change in the financial or other condition, business, affairs or prospects of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, or their properties and assets considered as an entirety, except for changes none of which, individually or in the aggregate, has had or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 7.10. Tax Returns and Payments. Each of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has filed all federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns, domestic and foreign, required to be filed by it and has paid all material taxes and assessments payable by it that have become due, other than those not yet delinquent and except for those contested in good faith. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has established on its books such charges, accruals and reserves in respect of taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges for all fiscal periods as are required by GAAP. The Borrower knows of no proposed assessment for additional federal, foreign or state taxes for any period, or of any basis therefor, which, individually or in the aggregate, taking into account such charges, accruals and reserves in respect thereof as the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have made, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 7.11. Title to Properties, etc. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has good and marketable title, in the case of Real Property, and good title (or valid Leaseholds, in the case of any leased property), in the case of all other property, to all of its properties and assets free and clear of Liens other than Permitted Liens. The interests of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries in the properties reflected in the most recent balance sheet referred to in Section 7.7, taken as a whole, were sufficient, in the judgment of the Borrower, as of the date of such balance sheet for purposes of the ownership and operation of the businesses conducted by the Borrower and such Subsidiaries.

Section 7.12. Lawful Operations, etc. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries: (i) hold all necessary foreign, federal, state, local and other governmental licenses, registrations, certifications, permits and authorizations necessary to conduct its business, except to the extent the failure to so hold could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (ii) is in full compliance with all requirements imposed by law, regulation or rule, whether foreign, federal, state or local, that are applicable to it, its operations, or its properties and assets, including, without limitation, applicable requirements of Environmental Laws, except for any failure to obtain and maintain in effect, or noncompliance that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material

Adverse Effect; (iii) conduct their business in compliance with all provisions of the Fair Debt Practices Collection Act and all other applicable federal, state or local laws governing the collection of debts and neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in material violation of any of such laws; and (iv) are in compliance with all federal, state and local privacy laws.

Section 7.13. Environmental Matters.

(a) The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws, except to the extent that any such failure to comply (together with any resulting penalties, fines or forfeitures) would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All licenses, permits, registrations or approvals required for the conduct of the business of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries under any Environmental Law have been secured and the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is in substantial compliance therewith, except for such licenses, permits, registrations or approvals the failure to secure or to comply therewith is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has received written notice, or otherwise knows, that it is in any respect in noncompliance with, breach of or default under any applicable writ, order, judgment, injunction, or decree to which the Borrower or such Subsidiary is a party or that would affect the ability of the Borrower or such Subsidiary to operate any Real Property and no event has occurred and is continuing that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute noncompliance, breach of or default thereunder, except in each such case, such noncompliance, breaches or defaults as would not reasonably be expected to, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no Environmental Claims pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no facts, circumstances, conditions or occurrences on any Real Property now or at any time owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or on any property adjacent to any such Real Property, that are known by the Borrower or as to which the Borrower or any such Subsidiary has received written notice, that could reasonably be expected: (i) to form the basis of an Environmental Claim against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any Real Property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; or (ii) to cause such Real Property to be subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, use or transferability of such Real Property under any Environmental Law, except in each such case, such Environmental Claims or restrictions that individually or in the aggregate would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Hazardous Materials have not at any time been (i) generated, used, treated or stored on, or transported to or from, any Real Property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) released on any such Real Property, in each case where such occurrence or event is not in compliance with Environmental Laws and is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 7.14. Compliance with ERISA. Compliance by the Borrower with the provisions hereof and Credit Events contemplated hereby will not involve any prohibited transaction within the meaning of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries and each ERISA Affiliate (i) has fulfilled all obligations under the minimum funding standards of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan that is not a Multiemployer Plan or a Multiple Employer Plan, (ii) has satisfied all contribution obligations in respect of each Multiemployer Plan and each Multiple Employer Plan, (iii) is in compliance in all material respects with all other applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan and each Multiple Employer Plan, and (iv) has not incurred any liability under Title IV of ERISA to the PBGC with respect to any Plan, any Multiple Employer Plan, or any trust established thereunder (other than liabilities for any required premiums). No Plan or trust created thereunder has been terminated, and there have been no Reportable Events with respect to any Plan or trust created thereunder or with respect to any Multiple Employer Plan, which termination or Reportable Event will or could give rise to a material liability of the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate in respect

thereof. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary of the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate is at the date hereof, or has been at any time within the five years preceding the date hereof, an employer required to contribute to any Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan, or a “contributing sponsor” (as such term is defined in Section 4001 of ERISA) in any Plan. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary of the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has any contingent liability with respect to any post-retirement “employee welfare benefit plan” (as such term is defined in ERISA) except as has been disclosed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in writing.

Section 7.15. Intellectual Property, etc. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has obtained or has the right to use all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and other rights with respect to the foregoing necessary for the present and planned future conduct of its business, without any known conflict with the rights of others, except for such patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and rights, the loss of which, and such conflicts which, in any such case individually or in the aggregate would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The Administrative Agent agrees to act as such upon the express conditions contained in this Article. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or in the other Credit Documents, nor any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and no Credit Party shall have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall act solely as agent of the Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

Section 11.2. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Credit Document by or through agents, sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact, and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents, sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care except to the extent otherwise required by Section 11.3.

Section 11.3. Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document (except for its or such Related Party’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers contained in this Agreement, any other Credit Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Credit Document or for any failure of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective officers to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for the effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Credit Document or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statement or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports, certificates or any other documents in connection herewith or therewith furnished or made by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders or by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained herein or therein or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or of the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.

Section 11.4. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, e-mail or other electronic transmission, facsimile transmission, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it, in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Credit Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender), as applicable, as to any matter that, pursuant to Section 13.11, can only be effectuated with the consent of the Required Lenders or all Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender), as the case may be, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.

Section 11.5. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders, 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 interests of the Lenders.

Section 11.6. Non-Reliance. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, assets, property, financial and other conditions, prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties.

Section 11.7. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and its Related Parties, ratably according to their pro rata share of the Aggregate Credit Facility Exposure

(excluding Swing Loans), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, reasonable expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or such Related Party in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent or such Related Party under or in connection with any of the foregoing, but only to the extent that any of the foregoing is not paid by the Borrower; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable to the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Party for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent resulting solely from the Administrative Agent’s or such Related Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any indemnity furnished to the Administrative Agent or any such Related Party for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations.

Section 11.8. The Administrative Agent in Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their Affiliates as though not acting as Administrative Agent hereunder. With respect to the Loans made by it and all Obligations owing to it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

Section 11.9. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time upon not less than 30 days notice to the Lenders, each Letter of Credit Issuer and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and each Letter of Credit Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no such successor is willing to accept such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or any Letter of Credit Issuer under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and Letter of Credit Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 13.1 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Section 11.10. Other Agents. Any Lender identified herein as a Co-Agent, Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent, Managing Agent, Manager, Lead Arranger, Co-Lead Arranger, Arranger or any other corresponding title, other than “Administrative Agent,” shall have no right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement or any other Credit Document except those applicable to all Lenders as such. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any Lender so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking any action hereunder.

Section 11.11. No Reliance on Administrative Agent’s Customer Identification Program. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on Administrative Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereinafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, any of its respective Affiliates or agents, the Credit Documents or the transactions hereunder: (a) any identity verification procedures, (b) any record keeping, (c) any comparisons with government lists, (d) any customer notices or (e) any other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other laws.

(g) any other act or omission of any kind by any other Credit Party, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this Article, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations under this Section other than the irrevocable payment in full of all Borrower Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 12.4. Borrower Obligations to Remain in Effect; Restoration. The Borrower’s obligations under this Article shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments shall have terminated, and the principal of and interest on the Notes and other Borrower Guaranteed Obligations, and all other amounts payable by the Borrower, any other Credit Party or other Subsidiary, under the Credit Documents or any other agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations, shall have been paid in full.

In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to the Borrower or to any other person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer (including, without limitation, by branches, agencies and Affiliates of such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of the Obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in Obligations the Borrower purchased by such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 13.5(c), and all other claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer shall have made any demand hereunder and although said Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured.

Section 13.3. Equalization.

(a) Equalization. If at any time any Lender receives any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise) that is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans (other than Swing Loans), Letter of Credit Participations, Swing Loan Participations or Fees (other than Fees that are intended to be paid solely to the Administrative Agent or a Letter of Credit Issuer and amounts payable to a Lender under Article III), of a sum that with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all of the Lenders in such amount.

(b) Recovery of Amounts. If any amount paid to any Lender pursuant to subpart (a) above is recovered in whole or in part from such Lender, such original purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price restored ratably to the extent of the recovery.

(c) Consent of Borrower. The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(ii) To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 13.5(c) the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments.

(iii) At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 13.5(c) to a person that is not already a Lender hereunder and that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for Federal income tax purposes, the respective assignee Lender shall provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent the applicable Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable, an Exemption Certificate and any necessary additional documentation) described in Section 5.3(b).

The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments and Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Lender Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment Agreement pursuant to this subpart (c).

(v) Nothing in this Section 13.5(c) shall prevent or prohibit (i) any Lender that is a bank, trust company or other financial institution from pledging its Notes or Loans to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank, or (ii) any Lender that is a trust, limited liability company, partnership or other investment company from pledging its Notes or Loans to a trustee or agent for the benefit of holders of certificates or debt securities issued by it. No such pledge, or any assignment pursuant to or in lieu of an enforcement of such a pledge, shall relieve the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder.

(d) No SEC Registration or Blue Sky Compliance. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 13.5, no transfer or assignment of the interests or obligations of any Lender hereunder or any grant of participation therein shall be permitted if such transfer, assignment or grant would require the Borrower to file a registration statement with the SEC or to qualify the Loans under the “Blue Sky” laws of any State.

(e) Representations of Lenders. Each Lender initially party to this Agreement hereby represents, and each person that becomes a Lender pursuant to an assignment permitted by this Section 13.5 will, upon its becoming party to this Agreement, represent that it is a commercial lender, other financial institution or other “accredited” investor (as defined in SEC Regulation D) that makes or acquires loans in the ordinary course of its business and that it will make or acquire Loans for its own account in the ordinary course of such business, provided that subject to the preceding Sections 13.5(b) and (c), the disposition of any promissory notes or other evidences of or interests in Indebtedness held by such Lender shall at all times be within its exclusive control.

Section 13.6. 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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent or any Lender 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. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower 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. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or any Letter of Credit Issuance shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time. The rights and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies that the Administrative Agent or any Lender would otherwise have.

such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and instructed to keep such Confidential Information confidential), (2) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in any Hedge Agreement (or to any such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor), so long as such contractual counterparty (or such professional advisor) agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 13.14, (3) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (4) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (5) to any other party to this Agreement, (6) to any other creditor of the Borrower or any other Credit Party that is a direct or intended beneficiary of any of the Credit Documents, (7) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents, or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (8) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 13.14, to any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (9) with the consent of the Borrower, or (10) to the extent such Confidential Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 13.14, or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.

(b) As used in this Section, “Confidential Information” shall mean all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower, provided that in the case of information received from the Borrower after the Closing Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, “Confidential Information” shall not include, and the Administrative Agent and each Lender may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, any information with respect to the U.S. federal income tax treatment and U.S. federal income tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the Administrative Agent or such Lender relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

(c) Any person required to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information as provided in this Section 13.14 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information as such person would accord to its own confidential information. The Borrower hereby agrees that the failure of the Administrative Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender to comply with the provisions of this Section 13.14 shall not relieve the Borrower, or any other Credit Party, of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents.

Section 13.15. Limitations on Liability of the Letter of Credit Issuers. The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letters of Credit. Neither any Letter of Credit Issuer nor any of its officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for: (a) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by a Letter of Credit Issuer against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to such Letter of Credit; or (d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit, except that the Letter of Credit Obligor shall have a claim against a Letter of Credit Issuer, and a Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable to such Letter of Credit Obligor, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential, damages suffered by such Letter of Credit Obligor that such Letter of Credit Obligor proves were caused by (i) such Letter of Credit Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence in determining whether

100

documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (ii) such Letter of Credit Issuer’s willful failure to make lawful payment under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of documentation strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, a Letter of Credit Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation.

Section 13.16. General Limitation of Liability. No claim may be made by any Credit Party, any Lender, the Administrative Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer or any other person against the Administrative Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer, or any other Lender or the Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents of any of them for any damages other than actual compensatory damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and each of the Borrower, each Lender, the Administrative Agent and each Letter of Credit Issuer hereby, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, waives, releases and agrees not to xxx or counterclaim upon any such claim for any special, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

Section 13.17. No Duty. All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, consultants and other professional persons (including the firms or other entities on behalf of which any such person may act) retained by the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents shall have the right to act exclusively in the interest of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and shall have no duty of disclosure, duty of loyalty, duty of care, or other duty or obligation of any type or nature whatsoever to the Borrower, to any of its Subsidiaries, or to any other person, with respect to any matters within the scope of such representation or related to their activities in connection with such representation. The Borrower agrees, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, not to assert any claim or counterclaim against any such persons with regard to such matters, all such claims and counterclaims, now existing or hereafter arising, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseeable, being hereby waived, released and forever discharged.

Section 13.18. Lenders and Agent Not Fiduciary to Borrower, etc. The relationship among the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders, on the other hand, is solely that of debtor and creditor, and the Administrative Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders have no fiduciary or other special relationship with the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and no term or provision of any Credit Document, no course of dealing, no written or oral communication, or other action, shall be construed so as to deem such relationship to be other than that of debtor and creditor.

Section 13.19. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties herein shall survive the making of Loans and all Letter of Credit Issuances hereunder, the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Notes and the other documents the forms of which are attached as Exhibits hereto, the issue and delivery of the Notes, any disposition thereof by any holder thereof, and any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other holder of any of the Notes or on its behalf. All statements contained in any certificate or other document delivered to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any holder of any Notes by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant hereto or otherwise specifically for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall constitute representations and warranties by the Borrower hereunder, made as of the respective dates specified therein or, if no date is specified, as of the respective dates furnished to the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

Section 13.20. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such

101

(j) take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, by directing such Grantor or any other person in possession thereof in writing to deliver the same to the Administrative Agent at any place or places designated by the Administrative Agent, in which event such Grantor shall at its own expense:

(i) forthwith cause the same to be moved to the place or places so designated by the Administrative Agent and delivered to the Administrative Agent,

(ii) store and keep any Collateral so delivered to the Administrative Agent at such place or places pending further action by the Administrative Agent as provided in Section 8.2, and

(iii) while the Collateral shall be so stored and kept, provide such guards and maintenance services as shall be necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain them in substantially the same condition prior to such action;

it being understood that such Grantor’s obligation so to deliver the Collateral is of the essence of this Agreement and that, accordingly, upon application to a court of equity having jurisdiction, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by such Grantor of said obligation.

Section 8.2. Disposition of the Collateral. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, any Collateral repossessed by the Administrative Agent under or pursuant to Section 8.1 and

- 28 -

any other Collateral whether or not so repossessed by the Administrative Agent, may be sold, assigned, leased or otherwise disposed of under one or more contracts or as an entirety, and without the necessity of gathering at the place of sale of the property to be sold, and in general in such manner, at such time or times, at such place or places and on such terms as the Administrative Agent may, in compliance with any mandatory requirements of applicable law, determine to be commercially reasonable. Any of the Collateral may be sold, leased or otherwise disposed of, in the condition in which the same existed when taken by the Administrative Agent or after any overhaul or repair which the Administrative Agent shall determine to be commercially reasonable. Except in the case of any Collateral that is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, (i) in the case of any such disposition which shall be a private sale or other private proceedings permitted by such requirements, such sale shall be made upon not less than ten days’ written notice to such Grantor specifying the time at which such disposition is to be made and the intended sale price or other consideration therefor, and shall be subject, for the ten days after the giving of such notice, to the right of the relevant Grantor or any nominee of the relevant Grantor to acquire the Collateral involved at a price or for such other consideration at least equal to the intended sale price or other consideration so specified, and (ii) in the case of any such disposition which shall be a public sale permitted by such requirements, such sale shall be made upon not less than ten days’ written notice to the relevant Grantor specifying the time and place of such sale and, in the absence of applicable requirements of law, shall be by public auction (which may, at the Administrative Agent’s sole option, be subject to reserve), after publication of notice of such auction not less than ten days prior thereto in two newspapers in general circulation in the city where such Collateral is located. To the extent permitted by any such requirement of law, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Creditors (or certain of them) may bid for and become the purchaser (by bidding in Secured Obligations or otherwise) of the Collateral or any item thereof offered for sale in accordance with this Section without accountability to the relevant Grantor (except to the extent of surplus money received as provided in Section 8.5). Unless so obligated under mandatory requirements of applicable law, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to make disposition of the Collateral within a period of time which does not permit the giving of notice to the Grantor as hereinabove specified. The Administrative Agent need give the relevant Grantor only such notice of disposition as the Administrative Agent shall deem to be reasonably practicable in view of such mandatory requirements of applicable law.

Section 8.3. Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property. For the purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Article VIII at such time as the Administrative Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies and for no other purpose, each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantor) to use, assign or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property of such Grantor, now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.

Section 8.4. Waiver of Claims. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NOTICE AND JUDICIAL HEARING IN CONNECTION WITH THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TAKING POSSESSION OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S DISPOSITION OF ANY OF THE COLLATERAL, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AND ALL PRIOR NOTICE AND HEARING FOR ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OR REMEDIES AND ANY SUCH RIGHT WHICH THE GRANTOR WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OR ANY STATUTE OF THE UNITED STATES OR OF ANY STATE, and each Grantor hereby further waives, to the extent permitted by law: (i) all damages occasioned by such taking of possession except any damages which are the direct result of the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct;

- 29 -

(ii) all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale or other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Administrative Agent’s rights hereunder; and (iii) all rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any applicable law in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Agreement or the absolute sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof, and each Grantor, for itself and all who may claim under it, insofar as it or they now or hereafter lawfully may, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law now or hereafter in effect. Any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon, any Collateral shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand, either at law or in equity, of the relevant Grantor therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against the relevant Grantor and against any and all persons claiming or attempting to claim the Collateral so sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof, from, through and under the relevant Grantor.

Section 8.5. Application of Proceeds. All Collateral and proceeds of Collateral obtained and realized by the Administrative Agent in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement pursuant to this Article VIII shall be applied as follows:

(i) first, to the payment to the Administrative Agent, for application to the Secured Obligations as provided in Section 10.3 of the Credit Agreement; and

(ii) second, to the extent remaining after the application pursuant to the preceding clause (i) and following the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.9 hereof, to the relevant Grantor or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such payment.

Section 8.6. Remedies Cumulative, etc. Each and every right, power and remedy hereby specifically given to the Administrative Agent shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy specifically given under this Agreement, any Designated Hedge Agreement, or the other Credit Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, or by statute and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time or simultaneously and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Administrative Agent. All such rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative and the exercise or the beginning of exercise of one shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise any other or others. No delay or omission of the Administrative Agent in the exercise of any such right, power or remedy, or partial or single exercise thereof, and no renewal or extension of any of the Secured Obligations, shall impair or constitute a waiver of any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. No notice to or demand on any Grantor in any case shall entitle it to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the rights of the Administrative Agent to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall bring any suit to enforce any of its rights hereunder and shall be entitled to judgment, then in such suit the Administrative Agent may recover reasonable, actual expenses, including attorneys’ fees, and the amounts thereof shall be included in such judgment.

Section 8.7. Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case the Administrative Agent shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Administrative Agent, then and in every such case the relevant Grantor, the Administrative Agent and each holder of any of the Secured Obligations shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral subject to the security interest created under this Agreement, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Administrative Agent shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted.

- 30 -

Section 8.8. Purchasers of Collateral. Upon any sale of any of the Collateral by the Administrative Agent hereunder (whether by virtue of the power of sale herein granted, pursuant to judicial process or otherwise), the receipt of the Administrative Agent or the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Administrative Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication or nonapplication thereof.

ARTICLE IX.

Section 9.4. Successors and Assigns.

All agreements, statements, representations and warranties made by each Grantor herein or in any certificate or other instrument delivered by such Grantor or on its behalf under this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Secured Creditors and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any Designated Hedge Document regardless of any investigation made by the Secured Creditors on their behalf.

Section 9.5. Headings Descriptive. The headings of the several Sections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

Section 9.6. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.7. Enforcement Expenses, etc. The Grantors hereby jointly and severally agree to pay, to the extent not paid pursuant to Section 13.1 of the Credit Agreement, all reasonable, actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Creditor in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement, the preservation of the Collateral, the perfection of the Security Interest, and any amendment, waiver or consent relating hereto (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel employed by the Administrative Agent or any of the other Secured Creditors).

Section 9.8. Release of Portions of Collateral.

(a) So long as no Event of Default is in existence or would exist after the application of proceeds as provided below, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of a Grantor, release any or all of the Collateral of such Grantor, provided that (x) such release is permitted by the terms of the Credit Agreement (it being agreed for such purposes that a release will be deemed “permitted by the terms of the Credit Agreement” if the proposed transaction constitutes an exception contained in Section 9.2(c) of the Credit Agreement) or otherwise has been approved in writing by the Required Lenders (or, to the extent required by Section 13.11 of the Credit Agreement, all of the Lenders, or all of the Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender), as applicable) and (y) the proceeds of such Collateral are to be applied as required pursuant to the Credit Agreement or any consent or waiver entered into with respect thereto.

- 32 -

(b) At any time that a Grantor desires that the Administrative Agent take any action to give effect to any release of Collateral pursuant to the foregoing Section 9.8(a), it shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate signed by a principal executive officer stating that the release of the respective Collateral is permitted pursuant to Section 9.8(a). In the event that any part of the Collateral is released as provided in Section 9.8(a), the Administrative Agent, at the request and expense of a Grantor, will duly release such Collateral and assign, transfer and deliver to such Grantor (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as is then being (or has been) so sold and as may be in the possession of the Administrative Agent and has not theretofore been released pursuant to this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any Secured Creditor as the result of any release of Collateral by it as permitted by this Section 9.8.

Section 9.9. Termination. After the termination of all of the Commitments and all Designated Hedge Documents, when no Note or Letter of Credit is outstanding and when all Loans and other Secured Obligations (other than unasserted indemnity obligations) have been paid in full, this Agreement shall terminate, and the Administrative Agent, at the request and expense of the Grantors, will execute and deliver to the relevant Grantor a proper instrument or instruments (including UCC termination statements on form UCC-3) acknowledging the satisfaction and termination of this Agreement, and will duly assign, transfer and deliver to the relevant Grantor (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as may be in the possession of the Administrative Agent and as has not theretofore been sold or otherwise applied or released pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 9.10. Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent will hold in accordance with this Agreement all items of the Collateral at any time received under this Agreement. The acceptance by the Administrative Agent of this Agreement, with all the rights, powers, privileges and authority so created, shall not at any time or in any event obligate the Administrative Agent to appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to the Collateral to which it is not a party, or to take any action hereunder or thereunder, or to expend any money or incur any expenses or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under the Collateral. By accepting the benefits of this Agreement, each Secured Creditor acknowledges and agrees that the rights and obligations of the Administrative Agent shall be as set forth in Article IX of the Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 9.3 of this Agreement or Section 13.11 of the Credit Agreement, this Section 9.10, and the duties and obligations of the Administrative Agent set forth in this Section 9.10, may not be amended or modified without the consent of the Administrative Agent.

Section 9.11. Only Administrative Agent to Enforce on Behalf of Secured Creditors. The Secured Creditors agree by their acceptance of the benefits hereof that this Agreement may be enforced on their behalf only by the action of the Administrative Agent, acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders (or, after all Credit Document Obligations have been paid in full, instructions of the holders of greater than 50% of the outstanding Designated Hedge Obligations) and that no other Secured Creditor shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Agreement or to realize upon the security to be granted hereby, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, upon the terms of this Agreement.

Section 9.12. Other Creditors, etc. Not Third Party Beneficiaries. No creditor of any Grantor or any of its Affiliates, or other person claiming by, through or under any Grantor or any of its Affiliates, other than the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Creditors, and their respective successors and assigns, shall be a beneficiary or third-party beneficiary of this Agreement or otherwise shall derive any right or benefit herefrom.

Section 9.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, including via facsimile transmission or other electronic transmission capable of authentication, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same agreement. A set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

- 33 -

Section 9.14. Amendments; Additional Grantors. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent to any departure by any Grantor shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent acting at the direction of the requisite number of Lenders, if any, required pursuant to Section 13.11 of the Credit Agreement, and the applicable Grantor or Grantors, as the case may be, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Upon the execution and delivery by any Person of a Security Agreement Joinder, (a) such Person shall be referred to as an “Additional Grantor” and shall become and be a Grantor hereunder, and each reference in this Agreement to a “Grantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Grantor, and each reference in any other Credit Document to a “Grantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Grantor, and (b) each reference herein to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof” or words of like import referring to this Agreement, and each reference in any other Credit Document to the “Security Agreement,” “thereunder,” “thereof” or words of like import referring to this Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to this Agreement as supplemented by such Security Agreement Joinder.

Section 9.15. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall be effective as to any Grantor upon its execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent of a counterpart of this Agreement manually executed on behalf of such Grantor, regardless of the date of this Agreement or the date this Agreement is executed and delivered by any other party hereto.

Section 9.16. Full Recourse Obligations; Effect of Fraudulent Transfer Laws. It is the desire and intent of each Grantor, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Creditors that this Agreement shall be enforced as a full recourse obligation of each Grantor to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If and to the extent that the obligations of any Grantor under this Agreement would, in the absence of this sentence, be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers, then the amount of such Grantor liability hereunder in respect of the Secured Obligations shall be deemed to be reduced ab initio to that maximum amount that would be permitted without causing such Grantor’s obligations hereunder to be so invalidated.

Section 9.17. Governing Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE OTHER SECURED CREDITORS AND OF EACH GRANTOR SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF OHIO, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement may be brought in the Courts of the State of Ohio, or of the United States of America for the Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Grantor hereby irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Each Grantor hereby 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 mail, return receipt requested, to such Grantor at its address provided herein, such service to become effective 30 days after such mailing, or such earlier time as may be provided by applicable law. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent or any of the other Secured Creditors to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against each Grantor in any other jurisdiction.

- 34 -

(b) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives any objection that 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 Agreement or any other Credit Document brought in the courts referred to in Section 9.17(a) above and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(c) EACH GRANTOR, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH OTHER SECURED CREDITOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY SECURED CREDITOR HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH SECURED CREDITOR WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS:

(2) This Guaranty is made pursuant to the Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as may be amended or otherwise modified, restated, replaced or amended and restated from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among American Dental Partners, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the “Borrower”), the financial institutions named as lenders therein (together with their successors and assigns, the “Lenders”), and the Administrative Agent.

Section 1. Certain Definitions. As used in this Guaranty, the following terms shall have the meanings herein specified unless the context otherwise requires:

“Additional Guarantor” has the meaning provided in Section 16.

Section 2. Guaranty by the Guarantors, etc.

(a) Each Guarantor, jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees: (i) to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Creditors, the full and prompt payment when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of all of the Guaranteed Obligations. Such guaranty is an absolute, unconditional, present and continuing guaranty of payment and not of collectibility and is in no way conditioned or contingent upon any attempt to collect from the Borrower or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower, or any other action, occurrence or circumstance whatsoever. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing under the Credit Agreement or any payment default shall occur and be outstanding under any Designated Hedge Document, each Guarantor will, immediately upon (and in any event no later than two Business Days following) its receipt of written notice from the Administrative Agent demanding payment hereunder, pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Creditors, in immediately available funds, at the Payment Office, such amount of the Guaranteed Obligations as the Administrative Agent shall specify in such notice.

(b) In addition to the foregoing, each Guarantor also, jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees that each of the terms, conditions, covenants and agreements of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement, and of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties under the other Guaranteed Documents, will be duly and punctually performed and observed strictly in accordance with the terms thereof and that if for any reason whatsoever the Borrower or the other Credit Parties shall fail to do so, such Guarantor shall duly and punctually perform and observe, or cause the Borrower or such other Credit Party, as applicable, to duly and punctually perform and observe, the same. Such guaranty is an absolute, unconditional, present and continuing guaranty of performance and is in no way conditioned or contingent upon any attempt to enforce performance by the Borrower or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower, or any other act, occurrence or circumstance whatsoever.

(c) In addition to the foregoing, each Guarantor, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees to the Creditors the payment of any and all Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower and each other Credit Party, whether or not due or payable by the obligor thereon, upon the occurrence in respect of the Borrower, any other Credit Party or other applicable

obligor of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or case under the Bankruptcy Code, and unconditionally and irrevocably, jointly and severally, promises to pay such Guaranteed Obligations to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Creditors, on demand, in such currency and otherwise in such manner as is provided in the Guaranteed Documents governing such Guaranteed Obligations.

(d) As a separate, additional and continuing obligation, each Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes and agrees, for the benefit of the Creditors, that, should any amounts constituting Guaranteed Obligations not be recoverable from the Borrower or any other Credit Party for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, by reason of any provision of any Guaranteed Document or any other agreement or instrument executed in connection therewith being or becoming, at any time, voidable, void, unenforceable, or otherwise invalid under any applicable law), then notwithstanding any notice or knowledge thereof by the Administrative Agent, any other Creditor, any of their respective Affiliates, or any other person, each Guarantor, jointly and severally, as sole, original and independent obligor, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, will make payment to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Creditors, of all such obligations not so recoverable by way of full indemnity, in such currency and otherwise in such manner as is provided in the Guaranteed Documents.

(e) Each Guarantor understands, agrees and confirms that the Administrative Agent and the other Creditors may enforce this Guaranty up to the full amount of the Guaranteed Obligations against any Guarantor without proceeding against any other Guarantor, the Borrower or any other person, or against any security or other collateral.

(f) All payments by each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Creditors, in such currency and otherwise in such manner as is provided in the Guaranteed Documents to which such payments relate.

Section 3. Subordination.

(a) Any Indebtedness or other obligations or liabilities of the Borrower now or hereafter held by any Guarantor (collectively, “Subordinated Obligations”) are hereby subordinated to the Guaranteed Obligations (but solely to the extent constituting a guaranty of any obligation of the Borrower to any Creditor); and such Subordinated Obligations of the Borrower to any Guarantor, if the Administrative Agent, after an Event of Default has occurred, so requests, shall be collected, enforced and received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Administrative Agent and the other Creditors and be paid over to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Creditors, on account of the Indebtedness of the Borrower owing under the Guaranteed Documents to the Administrative Agent and to the other Creditors, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by any Guarantor of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any Subordinated Obligation of the Borrower to such Guarantor, such Guarantor shall xxxx such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination.

(b) If and to the extent that any Guarantor makes any payment to the Administrative Agent or any other Creditor or to any other person pursuant to or in respect of this Guaranty, any reimbursement or similar claim that such Guarantor may have against the Borrower by reason thereof shall be subject and subordinate to the prior termination of all of the Commitments and indefeasible payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 4. Guarantors’ Obligations Absolute, etc. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional, shall not be subject to any counterclaim, setoff, deduction or defense based on any claim such Guarantor may have against the Borrower or any other

person, including, without limitation, the Administrative Agent, any other Creditor, any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Guarantor, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, abated, deferred, reduced, limited, discharged, terminated or otherwise impaired or adversely affected by any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, other than indefeasible payment in full of, and complete performance of, all of the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation:

Borrower to recover full reimbursement or indemnity for any payments made pursuant to this Guaranty, or (B) contribution from any other Guarantor for any such payments made by it, or that otherwise may adversely affect the amount recoverable upon the exercise of any such right of subrogation or contribution;

The rights and remedies herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies that the Administrative Agent or any other Creditor would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any other Creditor to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. It is not necessary for, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Creditor, undertakes any obligation or duty to, inquire into the capacity or powers of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and any indebtedness made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

In the event that all of the capital stock of one or more Guarantors is sold or otherwise disposed of or liquidated in compliance with the requirements of Section 9.2(c) of the Credit Agreement (or such sale or other disposition has been approved in writing by the Required Lenders (or all Lenders, or all of the Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender), as applicable, if required by Section 13.11 of the Credit Agreement)) and the proceeds of such sale, disposition or liquidation are applied, to the extent applicable, in accordance with

the provisions of the Credit Agreement, such Guarantor shall be released from this Guaranty and this Guaranty shall, as to each such Guarantor or Guarantors, terminate, and have no further force or effect (it being understood and agreed that the sale of one or more persons that own, directly or indirectly, all of the capital stock or other equity interests of any Guarantor shall be deemed to be a sale of such Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 23).

Section 24. Contribution Among Guarantors. Each Guarantor, in addition to the subrogation rights it shall have against the Borrower under applicable law as a result of any payment it makes hereunder, shall also have a right of contribution against all other Guarantors in respect of any such payment pro rata among the same based on their respective net fair value as enterprises, provided any such right of contribution shall be subject and subordinate to the prior payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (and such Guarantor’s obligations in respect thereof).

Section 25. Full Recourse Obligations; Effect of Fraudulent Transfer Laws, etc. It is the desire and intent of each Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and the other Creditors that this Guaranty shall be enforced as a full recourse obligation of each Guarantor to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If and to the extent that the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty would, in the absence of this sentence, be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers, then the amount of such Guarantor’s liability hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be deemed to be reduced ab initio to that maximum amount that would be permitted without causing such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder to be so invalidated.

Section 26. Payments Free and Clear of Setoffs, Counterclaims and Taxes, etc.

(a) All payments made by any Guarantor hereunder will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense and, except as provided for in this Section 26(a), all such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding, except as provided in the second succeeding sentence, any tax, imposed on or measured by the net income or net profits of a Creditor pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction under which such Creditor is organized or the jurisdiction in which the principal office or Applicable Lending Office of such Creditor is located or any subdivision thereof or therein) and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect to such non excluded taxes, levies imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges (all such nonexcluded taxes levies, imposts, duties, fees assessments or other charges being referred to collectively as “Taxes”). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the applicable Guarantor agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment by it of all amounts due hereunder, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes will not be less than the amount provided for herein. If any amounts are payable in respect of Taxes pursuant to the preceding sentence, the applicable Guarantor agrees to reimburse each Creditor, upon the written request of such Creditor for taxes imposed on or measured by the net income or profits of such Creditor pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Creditor is organized or in which the principal office or Applicable Lending Office of such Creditor is located or under the laws of any political subdivision or taxing authority of any such jurisdiction in which the principal office or Applicable Lending Office of such Creditor is located and for any withholding of income or similar taxes imposed by the United States of America as such Creditor shall determine are payable by, or withheld from, such Creditor in respect of such amounts so paid to or on behalf of such Creditor pursuant to the preceding sentence, which request shall be accompanied by a statement from such Creditor setting forth, in reasonable detail, the computations used in determining such amounts. The applicable Guarantor will furnish to the Administrative Agent within 45 days after the date the payment of any Taxes, or any

withholding or deduction on account thereof, is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts, or other evidence satisfactory to the applicable Creditor, evidencing such payment by the applicable Creditor. Each applicable Guarantor will indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Creditor, and reimburse the Administrative Agent or such Creditor upon its written request, for the amount of any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid or withheld by such Creditor.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 26, (i) any applicable Guarantor shall be entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by law, to deduct or withhold income or other similar taxes imposed by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from any amounts payable hereunder for the account of any Creditor that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for United States federal income tax purposes and that has not provided to the Borrower such forms that establish a complete exemption from such deduction or withholding; and (ii) any applicable Guarantor shall not be obligated pursuant to this Section 26 hereof to gross-up payments to be made to a Creditor in respect of income or similar taxes imposed by the United States or any additional amounts with respect thereto if such Creditor has not provided to the Borrower such forms.

Section 27. Termination. After the termination of all of the Commitments and all Designated Hedge Documents, when no Note or Letter of Credit is outstanding and when all Loans and other Guaranteed Obligations (other than unasserted indemnity obligations) have been paid in full, this Guaranty will terminate and the Administrative Agent, at the request and expense of the Borrower and/or any of the Guarantors, will execute and deliver to the Guarantors an instrument or instruments acknowledging the satisfaction and termination of this Guaranty.

Section 28. Enforcement Only by Administrative Agent. The Creditors agree that this Guaranty may be enforced only by the action of the Administrative Agent, acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and that no Creditor shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Creditors, upon the terms of this Guaranty. The Administrative Agent and the other Creditors further agree that this Guaranty may not be enforced against any director, officer or employee of any Guarantor, as such.

Section 29. General Limitation on Claims by Guarantors. NO CLAIM MAY BE MADE BY ANY GUARANTOR AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OTHER CREDITOR, OR THE AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS OR AGENTS OF ANY OF THEM, FOR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN ACTUAL COMPENSATORY DAMAGES IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT OR ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OF THE OTHER GUARANTEED DOCUMENTS, OR ANY ACT, OMISSION OR EVENT OCCURRING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH; AND EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, WAIVES, RELEASES AND AGREES NOT TO XXX OR COUNTERCLAIM UPON ANY SUCH CLAIM FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, WHETHER OR NOT ACCRUED AND WHETHER OR NOT KNOWN OR SUSPECTED TO EXIST IN ITS FAVOR.

Section 30. Attorneys, Accountants, etc. of Creditors Have No Duty to Guarantors. All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, consultants and other professional persons (including the firms or other entities on behalf of which any such person may act) retained by the Administrative Agent or any other Creditor with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Guaranteed Documents shall have the right to act exclusively in the interest of the Administrative Agent or such other Creditor, as the case may be, shall have no duty of disclosure, duty of loyalty, duty of care, or other duty or obligation of any type or

nature whatsoever to any Guarantor, to any of its Affiliates, or to any other person, with respect to any matters within the scope of such representation or related to their activities in connection with such representation and shall be subject to the provisions contained in Section 13.14 of the Credit Agreement. Each Guarantor agrees, on behalf of itself, its Subsidiaries and its other Affiliates, not to assert any claim or counterclaim against any such persons with regard to such matters, all such claims and counterclaims, now existing or hereafter arising, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseeable, being hereby waived, released and forever discharged.

Section 31. Creditors Not Fiduciary to Guarantors, etc. The relationship among any Guarantor and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the other Creditors, on the other hand, is solely that of debtor and creditor, and the Administrative Agent and the other Creditors have no fiduciary or other special relationship with any Guarantor or any of its Affiliates, and no term or provision of any Guaranteed Document, no course of dealing, no written or oral communication, or other action, shall be construed so as to deem such relationship to be other than that of debtor and creditor.

Section 32. Counterparts. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts including, by way of facsimile transmission or other electronic transmission capable of authentication, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
