During the term of this Credit Agreement, the Swing Lender agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Credit Agreement, to make loans to the Borrowers in Dollars pursuant to this Section 2.1(b)(i) from time to time in amounts such that after giving effect to each such loan (A) the aggregate principal amount of Swing Loans does not at any time exceed the Swing Loan Commitment and (B) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding plus the aggregate amount of LOC Obligations outstanding does not exceed the Revolving Committed Amount.

Within the foregoing limits, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.1(b)(i), repay or, to the extent permitted by Section 3.3, prepay Swing Loans and reborrow at any time during the term of this Credit Agreement under this Section 2.1(b)(i).

No Lender shall be responsible for the failure or delay by any other Lender in its obligation to make Committed Loans hereunder; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to fulfill its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of any Committed Loan that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Committed Loans to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Committed Loans, and the Administrative Agent in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole

-32-

discretion but without any obligation to do so) make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall be able to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers, and the Borrowers shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the Borrowers, 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 Borrowers to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent at a per annum rate equal to (i) from the Borrowers at the applicable rate for such Committed Loan pursuant to the Notice of Borrowing and (ii) from such Lender at the Federal Funds Rate.

Any reduction in (or termination of) the Revolving Committed Amount shall be permanent and may not be reinstated. The Administrative Agent shall immediately notify the Lenders of any reduction in the Revolving Committed Amount and each Lender’s Commitment shall be reduced pro rata in accordance with each Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment Percentage.

(a) The Competitive Bid Option. For so long as either of the Borrowers shall maintain at least two (2) Investment Grade Ratings, the Borrowers may, as set forth in this Section 2.2, request that the Administrative Agent solicit the Lenders to make offers to make Competitive Bid Loans to the Borrowers (a “Competitive Bid Quote Request”), such Competitive Bid Loan not to exceed, at such time (i) together with all Competitive Bid Loans then outstanding, fifty percent (50%) of the Revolving Committed Amount, or (ii) the then Revolving Credit Availability. Subject to the provisions of this Credit

-34-

Agreement, the Borrowers may repay any outstanding Competitive Bid Loan on any day which is a Business Day and any amounts so repaid may be reborrowed, up to the amount available under this Section 2.2(a) at the time of such borrowing, until the Business Day next preceding the Revolving Loan Maturity Date. The Lenders may, but shall have no obligation to, make such offers and the Borrowers may, but shall have no obligation to, accept any such offers in the manner set forth in this Section 2.2. The Competitive Bid Loans outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement on the date hereof and listed on Schedule 2.2 shall become and be deemed to be Competitive Bid Loans outstanding under this Credit Agreement.

(b) Competitive Bid Quote Request. When the Borrowers wish to request offers to make Competitive Bid Loans under this Section 2.2, the Borrowers shall transmit to the Administrative Agent by telex or facsimile transmission a Competitive Bid Quote Request substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.2(b) hereto so as to be received not later than 10:30 A.M. (New York City time) on the fourth (4th) Business Day prior to the date of borrowing proposed therein (or such other time or date as the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall have mutually agreed and shall have notified to the Lenders not later than the date of the Competitive Bid Quote Request for the first LIBOR Auction for which such change is to be effective) specifying:

(i) the proposed date of the Loan, which shall be a Business Day;

(ii) the aggregate amount of such Loan, which shall be $5,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000 (which shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Availability);

(iii) the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto; and

(iv) the amount of all Competitive Bid Loans then outstanding (which, together with the requested Competitive Bid Loans shall not exceed, in the aggregate, fifty percent (50%) of the Revolving Committed Amount).

The Borrowers may request offers to make Competitive Bid Loans for one, two or three Interest Periods in a single Competitive Bid Quote Request. Borrowers may not make more than four (4) Competitive Bid Quote Requests in any thirty (30) day period.

(c) Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes. Promptly upon receipt of a Competitive Bid Quote Request, the Administrative Agent shall send to the Lenders by telex or facsimile transmission an Invitation for Competitive Bid

-35-

Quotes substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.2(c) hereto, which shall constitute an invitation by the Borrowers to each Lender to submit Competitive Bid Quotes offering to make the Competitive Bid Loans to which such Competitive Bid Quote Request relates in accordance with this Section.

(d) Submission and Contents of Competitive Bid Quotes. (i) Each Lender may submit a Competitive Bid Quote containing an offer or offers to make Competitive Bid Loans in response to any Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes. Each Competitive Bid Quote must comply with the requirements of this subsection (d) and must be submitted to the Administrative Agent by telex or facsimile transmission not later than 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the proposed date of borrowing (or such other time or date as the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall have mutually agreed and shall have notified the Lenders not later than the date of the Competitive Bid Quote Request for the first LIBOR Auction for which such change is to be effective); provided that Competitive Bid Quotes submitted by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate of the Person serving as the Administrative Agent) in the capacity of a Lender may be submitted, and may only be submitted, if the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or such affiliate notifies the Borrowers of the terms of the offer or offers contained therein not later than one-quarter (1/4) hour prior to the deadline for the other Lenders. Any Competitive Bid Quote so made shall be irrevocable, except with the written consent of the Administrative Agent given on the instruction of the Borrowers. Competitive Bid Loans to be funded pursuant to a Competitive Bid Quote may, as provided in Section 11.3(e), be funded by a Lender’s Designated Bank. A Lender making a Competitive Bid Quote may, but shall not be required to, specify in its Competitive Bid Quote whether the related Competitive Bid Loans are intended to be funded by such Lender’s Designated Bank, as provided in Section 11.3(e).

(i) Each Competitive Bid Quote shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit 2.2(d)(ii) hereto and shall in any case specify:

(A) the proposed date of borrowing;

(B) the principal amount of the Competitive Bid Loan for which each such offer is being made, which principal amount (w) may be greater than or less than the Commitment of the quoting Lender, (x) must be $5,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000 (or, if the Revolving Credit Availability then is less than $5,000,000, such lesser amount), (y) may not exceed the principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans for which offers were requested and (z) may be subject to an aggregate limitation as to the principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans for which offers being made by such quoting Lender may be accepted;

-36-

(C) the margin above or below the applicable Eurodollar Rate (the “Competitive Bid Margin”) offered for each such Competitive Bid Loan, expressed as a percentage (specified to the nearest 1/10,000th of 1%) to be added to or subtracted from such base rate offered for each Competitive Bid Loan; and

(D) the identity of the quoting Lender.

(ii) Any Competitive Bid Quote shall be disregarded if it:

(A) is not substantially in conformity with Exhibit 2.2(d)(ii) hereto or does not specify all of the information required by subsection (d)(ii) above;

(B) except as provided in subsection (d)(ii)(B)(z) above, proposes terms other than or in addition to those set forth in the applicable Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes; or

(e) Notice to Borrowers. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers of the terms (x) of any Competitive Bid Quote submitted by a Lender that is in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section and (y) of any Competitive Bid Quote that amends, modifies or is otherwise inconsistent with a previous Competitive Bid Quote submitted by such Lender with respect to the same Competitive Bid Quote Request. Any such subsequent Competitive Bid Quote shall be disregarded by the Administrative Agent unless such subsequent Competitive Bid Quote is submitted solely to correct a manifest error in such former Competitive Bid Quote. The Administrative Agent’s notice to the Borrowers shall specify (A) the aggregate principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans for which offers have been received for each Interest Period specified in the related Competitive Bid Quote Request, (B) the principal amounts and Competitive Bid Margins so offered and (C) if applicable, limitations on the aggregate principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans for which offers in any single Competitive Bid Quote may be accepted.

(f) Acceptance and Notice by Borrowers. Not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the proposed date of borrowing (or such other time or date as the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall have mutually agreed and shall have notified the Lenders not later than the date of the Competitive Bid Quote Request for the first LIBOR Auction for which such change is to be effective), the Borrowers shall telephonically notify the Administrative Agent of their acceptance or non-acceptance of the

-37-

offers so notified to them pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section 2.2, and the Borrowers shall confirm such telephonic notification in writing not later than the third (3^rd) Business Day prior to the proposed date of borrowing. In the case of acceptance, such notice (a “Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing”), whether telephonic or in writing, shall specify the aggregate principal amount of offers for each Interest Period that are accepted and shall be accompanied by an officer’s certificate of the Borrowers with respect to compliance with (including calculation of) Section 7.2. Any Competitive Bid Loan accepted by the Borrowers and made by the Lenders shall utilize the Revolving Committed Amount (but not the Commitments of the Lenders making such Competitive Bid Loan), and the Revolving Credit Availability shall be reduced by the amount of any Competitive Bid Loans. The Borrowers may accept any Competitive Bid Quote in whole or in part; provided that:

(i) the aggregate principal amount of each Competitive Bid Loan borrowing may not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the related Competitive Bid Quote Request;

(ii) the principal amount of each Competitive Bid Loan borrowing must be $5,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000 (or, if the Revolving Credit Availability then is less than $5,000,000, such lesser amount);

(iii) acceptance of offers may only be made on the basis of ascending Competitive Bid Margins; and

(iv) the Borrowers may not accept any offer that is described in subsection (d)(iii) of this Section or that otherwise fails to comply with the requirements of this Credit Agreement.

(g) Allocation by Administrative Agent. If offers are made by two or more Lenders with the same Competitive Bid Margins for a greater aggregate principal amount than the amount in respect of which such offers are permitted to be accepted for the related Interest Period, the principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans in respect of which such offers are accepted shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among such Lenders as nearly as possible (in multiples of $1,000,000, as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate) in proportion to the aggregate principal amounts of such offers; provided, that the principal amount of such Competitive Bid Loans shall be allocated among such Lenders, in ascending order from those subject to the lowest Competitive Bid Margin to those subject to the highest Competitive Bid Margin, as applicable to provide to the Borrowers the lowest effective cost based on offers accepted. Determinations by the Administrative Agent of the amounts of Competitive Bid Loans shall be

-38-

conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers of all offers.

(h) Notification by Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of the Borrowers’ Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.2(f) hereof, the Administrative Agent shall, on the date such Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing is received by the Administrative Agent, notify each Lender of the principal amount of the Competitive Bid Loan borrowing accepted by the Borrowers and of such Lender’s share (if any) of such Competitive Bid Loan borrowing and such Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrowers. A Lender who is notified that it has been selected to make a Competitive Bid Loan may designate its Designated Bank (if any) to fund such Competitive Bid Loan on its behalf, as described in Section 11.3(e). Any Designated Bank which funds a Competitive Bid Loan shall on and after the time of such funding become the obligee under such Competitive Bid Loan and be entitled to receive payment thereof when due. No Lender shall be relieved of its obligation to fund a Competitive Bid Loan, and no Designated Bank shall assume such obligation, prior to the time the applicable Competitive Bid Loan is funded.

(i) Each Competitive Bid Loan shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable, together with the accrued interest thereon, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such borrowing.

2.3 Letter of Credit Subfacility.

(a) Issuance. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and of the LOC Documents, if any, and any other terms and conditions which the Issuing Lender may reasonably require (so long as such terms and conditions do not impose any financial obligation on or require any Lien (not otherwise contemplated by this Credit Agreement) to be given by any Credit Party or conflict with any obligation of, or detract from any action which may be taken by, any Borrower or its Subsidiaries under this Credit Agreement), the Issuing Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.3, from time to time upon request to issue (from the Effective Date to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date and in a form reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Lender), in Dollars, and the LOC Participants shall participate in, Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries; provided, however, that (i) the aggregate amount of LOC Obligations shall not at any time exceed the LOC Committed Amount, (ii) the sum of the aggregate amount of LOC Obligations outstanding plus Loans outstanding shall not exceed the Revolving Committed Amount and (iii) with respect to each individual LOC Participant, such LOC Participant’s pro rata share of outstanding Committed Loans plus its pro rata share of outstanding LOC Obligations shall not exceed

-39-

such LOC Participant’s Commitment. The Issuing Lender may require the issuance and expiry date of each Letter of Credit to be a Business Day. Each Letter of Credit shall be either (x) a standby letter of credit issued to support the obligations (including pension or insurance obligations), contingent or otherwise, of a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (y) a commercial letter of credit in respect of the purchase of goods or services by a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business. Except as otherwise expressly agreed upon by all the LOC Participants, no Letter of Credit shall have an original expiry date more than one year from the date of issuance or shall have an expiry date that is less than 30 days prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date. Each Letter of Credit shall comply with the related LOC Documents. Each Letter of Credit shall be deemed to remain outstanding until it has expired or the original documents evidencing such Letter of Credit have been returned to the Issuing Lender. The Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued under this Credit Agreement.

(b) Notice and Reports. The request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be submitted to the Issuing Lender at least three Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance. The Issuing Lender will, at least quarterly and more frequently upon request, provide to the Administrative Agent for dissemination to the Lenders a detailed report specifying the Letters of Credit which are then issued and outstanding and any activity with respect thereto which may have occurred since the date of the prior report, and including therein, among other things, the account party, the beneficiary, the face amount, and the expiry date as well as any payments or expirations which may have occurred. The Issuing Lender will further provide to the Administrative Agent, promptly upon request, copies of the Letters of Credit and the other LOC Documents.

(i) Each LOC Participant acknowledges and confirms that it has a Participation Interest in the liability of the Issuing Lender under each Existing Letter of Credit in an amount equal to its Revolving Loan Commitment Percentage of such Existing Letters of Credit. The Borrowers’ reimbursement obligations in respect of each Existing Letter of Credit, and each LOC Participant’s obligations in connection therewith, shall be governed by the terms of this Credit Agreement.

(ii) Each LOC Participant, upon issuance of a Letter of Credit, shall be deemed to have purchased without recourse a risk participation from the Issuing Lender in such Letter of Credit and each LOC Document related thereto and the rights and obligations arising thereunder and any collateral relating thereto, in each case in an amount equal to its Revolving Loan Commitment Percentage of the obligations under such Letter of

-40-

Credit, and shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and be obligated to pay to the Issuing Lender therefor and discharge when due, its Revolving Loan Commitment Percentage of the obligations arising under such Letter of Credit. Without limiting the scope and nature of each LOC Participant’s participation in any Letter of Credit, to the extent that the Issuing Lender has not been reimbursed as required hereunder or with respect to any such Letter of Credit, each such LOC Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender (without duplication of its obligations under Sections 2.3(d) and 2.3(e) to make a Revolving Loan to the Borrowers) its Revolving Loan Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed drawing in same day funds on the day of notification by the Issuing Lender of an unreimbursed drawing pursuant to the provisions of subsection (d) or (e) of this Section 2.3. The obligation of each LOC Participant to so reimburse the Issuing Lender shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by the occurrence of a Default, an Event of Default or any other occurrence or event. Any such reimbursement shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the Issuing Lender in respect of any Letter of Credit, together with interest as hereinafter provided.

(d) Reimbursement. In the event of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender will promptly notify the Borrowers. Unless the Borrowers shall promptly notify the Issuing Lender of their intent to otherwise reimburse the Issuing Lender, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Loan at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate in the amount of such drawing, the proceeds of which will be used to satisfy the reimbursement obligations. The Borrowers shall reimburse the Issuing Lender on the day of drawing under any Letter of Credit either with the proceeds of such Revolving Loan obtained hereunder or otherwise in same day funds as provided herein or in the LOC Documents. If the Borrowers shall fail to reimburse the Issuing Lender as provided hereinabove, the unreimbursed amount of such drawing shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus two percent (2%). The Borrowers’ reimbursement obligations hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under all circumstances irrespective of (but without waiver of) any rights of set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment the applicable account party or the Borrowers may claim or have against an Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit drawn upon or any other Person, including without limitation, any defense based on any failure of the applicable account party or the Borrowers to receive consideration or the legality, validity, regularity or unenforceability of such Letter of Credit. The Issuing Lender will promptly notify the LOC Participants of the amount of any unreimbursed drawing and each LOC Participant shall promptly pay to the Issuing Lender, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, the amount (without duplication of its obligations under Sections 2.3(d) and 2.3(e) to make a

-41-

Revolving Loan to the Borrowers) of such LOC Participant’s Revolving Loan Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed drawing. Such payment shall be made on the day such notice is received by such Lender from the Issuing Lender if such notice is received at or before 2:00 p.m., otherwise such payment shall be made at or before 12:00 Noon on the Business Day next succeeding the day such notice is received. If such LOC Participant does not pay such amount to the Issuing Lender in full upon such request, such LOC Participant shall, on demand, pay to the Issuing Lender interest on the unpaid amount during the period from the date such LOC Participant received the notice regarding the unreimbursed drawing until such LOC Participant pays such amount to the Issuing Lender in full at a rate per annum equal to, if paid within two Business Days of the date of drawing, the Federal Funds Rate and thereafter at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate. Each LOC Participant’s obligation to make such payment to the Issuing Lender, and the right of the Issuing Lender to receive the same, shall be absolute and unconditional, shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever and without regard to the termination of this Credit Agreement or the Commitments hereunder, the existence of a Default or Event of Default or the acceleration of the obligations hereunder and shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Simultaneously with the making of each such payment by a LOC Participant to the Issuing Lender, such LOC Participant shall, automatically and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Lender or such LOC Participant, acquire a participation in an amount equal to such payment (excluding the portion of such payment constituting interest owing to the Issuing Lender) in the related unreimbursed drawing portion of such LOC Obligation and in the interest thereon and in the related LOC Documents, and shall have a ratable interest in the Issuing Lender’s claim against the Borrowers with respect thereto.

(e) Repayment with Revolving Loans. On any day on which the Borrowers shall have requested, or been deemed to have requested, a Revolving Loan borrowing to reimburse a drawing under a Letter of Credit (as set forth in clause (d) above), the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the applicable Lenders that a Revolving Loan has been requested or deemed requested in connection with a drawing under a Letter of Credit, in which case a Revolving Loan comprised solely of Base Rate Loans (each such borrowing, a “Mandatory Borrowing”) shall be immediately made from all applicable Lenders (without giving effect to any termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 9.2) pro rata based on each Lender’s respective Revolving Loan Commitment Percentage and the proceeds thereof shall be paid directly to the Issuing Lender for application to the respective LOC Obligations. Each such Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make such Revolving Loans immediately upon any such request or deemed request on account of each such Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the same such date notwithstanding (i) the amount of such Mandatory Borrowing may not

-42-

comply with the minimum amount for borrowings of Revolving Loans otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 5.2 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or Event of Default then exists, (iv) failure of any such request or deemed request for Revolving Loans to be made by the time otherwise required hereunder, (v) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing, or (vi) any reduction in the Revolving Committed Amount or any termination of the Commitments. In the event that any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to a Borrower), then each Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith fund (as of the date such Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from the Borrowers on or after such date and prior to such purchase) its Participation Interest in the outstanding LOC Obligations; provided, further, that in the event any Lender shall fail to fund its Participation Interest on the day such Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, then the amount of such Lender’s unfunded Participation Interest therein shall bear interest payable to the Issuing Lender upon demand, at a rate per annum equal to, if paid within two Business Days of such date, the Federal Funds Rate, and thereafter at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate.

(f) Modification and Extension. The issuance of any supplement, modification, amendment, renewal, or extensions to any Letter of Credit shall, for purposes hereof, be treated in all respects the same as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit hereunder; provided that the fees to be paid pursuant to Section 3.4(b)(i) shall only be due if the expiration date of such Letter of Credit is extended.

(g) Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Lender and the Borrowers when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) 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) (the “ISP98”) shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) at the time of issuance (including the ICC decision published by the Commission on Banking Technique and Practice on April 6, 1998 regarding the European single currency (euro)) (the “UCP”) shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

(h) Responsibility of Issuing Lender. It is expressly understood and agreed as between the Lenders that the obligations of an Issuing Lender hereunder to the LOC Participants are only those expressly set forth in this Credit Agreement and that an Issuing Lender shall be entitled to assume that the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.2 have been satisfied unless it shall

-43-

have acquired actual knowledge that any such condition precedent has not been satisfied; provided, however, that nothing set forth in this Section 2.3 shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any LOC Participant to recover from an Issuing Lender any amounts made available by such LOC Participant to such Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.3 in the event that it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the payment with respect to a Letter of Credit constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Lender.

(i) Conflict with LOC Documents. In the event of any conflict between this Credit Agreement and any LOC Document, this Credit Agreement shall govern.

(j) Indemnification of Issuing Lenders and LOC Participants.

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

(ii) As between the Borrowers and each Issuing Lender and the LOC Participants, the Borrowers shall assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuse of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. The Issuing Lenders and the LOC Participants shall not be responsible for: (A) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the application for and issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (B) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, that may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (C) failure of the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon a Letter of Credit; (D) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex

-44-

or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (E) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (F) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required to be delivered to the Issuing Lender in order to make a drawing under a Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; and (G) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Lender or any LOC Participant, including, without limitation, any Government Acts. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of the Issuing Lender’s or any LOC Participant’s rights or powers hereunder.

(iii) In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by any Agent-Related Person, the Issuing Lender, any LOC Participant or any of the correspondents, participants or assignees of the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related certificates, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put the Issuing Lender or any LOC Participant under any resulting liability to the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries. It is the intention of the parties that this Credit Agreement shall be construed and applied to protect and indemnify the Issuing Lender and each LOC Participant against any and all risks involved in the issuance of the Letters of Credit, all of which risks are hereby assumed by the Borrowers, including, without limitation, whether rightful or wrongful, any present or future Government Acts. The Issuing Lender and the LOC Participants shall not, in any way, be liable for any failure by the Issuing Lender or anyone else to pay any drawing under any Letter of Credit as a result of any Government Acts or any other cause beyond the control of the Issuing Lender or any LOC Participant.

(iv) Nothing in this subsection (j) is intended to limit the reimbursement obligation of the Borrowers contained in this Section 2.3. The obligations of the Borrowers under this subsection (j) shall survive the termination of this Credit Agreement. No act or omission of any current or prior beneficiary of a Letter of Credit shall in any way affect or impair the rights of the Issuing Lender to enforce any right, power or benefit under this Credit Agreement.

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection (j), the Borrowers shall have no obligation to indemnify the Issuing Lender in respect of any liability incurred by the Issuing Lender arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender. Nothing in this Credit Agreement shall relieve the Issuing Lender of any liability to the Borrowers in respect of any action taken by the Issuing Lender which action constitutes gross negligence or willful

-45-

misconduct of the Issuing Lender or a violation of the ISP98, the UCP or Uniform Commercial Code (as applicable).

(k) No Obligation to Issue. The Issuing Lender shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law applicable to the Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the Issuing Lender any unreimbursable loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the Issuing Lender in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it; or

(ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Issuing Lender.

2.4 Joint and Several Liability of the Borrowers.

(a) Each of the Borrowers is accepting joint and several liability hereunder in consideration of the financial accommodation to be provided by the Lenders under this Credit Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of the Borrowers and in consideration of the undertakings of each of the Borrowers to accept joint and several liability for the obligations of each of them.

(b) Each of the Borrowers jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrower with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations arising under this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each of the Borrowers without preferences or distinction among them.

(c) If and to the extent that either of the Borrowers shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such

-46-

event, the other Borrower will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation. Each Borrower further agrees that it shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against the other Borrower for amounts so paid under this Credit Agreement until such time as the Lenders have been paid in full and all Commitments under this Credit Agreement have been terminated.

(d) The obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of this Section 2.4 constitute full recourse obligations of such Borrower, enforceable against it to the full extent of its properties and assets.

(e) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to the extent permitted by law, each Borrower hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability and of all extensions of credit to the Borrowers by the Lenders, notice of occurrence of any Default or Event of Default (except to the extent notice is expressly required to be given pursuant to the terms of this Credit Agreement), or of any presentment or demand for any payment under this Credit Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under or in respect of any of the obligations hereunder, any requirement of diligence and, generally, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Credit Agreement and the benefit of any laws that exonerate or limit the liability of co-borrowers or sureties and any defenses provided by those laws. Each Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders at any time or times in respect of any default by either Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Credit Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in respect of any of the obligations hereunder, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of such obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of either Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other action or delay in acting or any failure to act on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.4, afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving such Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its obligations under this Section 2.4, it being the intention of each Borrower that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the obligations of such Borrower under this Section 2.4 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.4 shall not be

-47-

diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to either Borrower or a Lender. The joint and several liability of the Borrowers hereunder shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any absorption, merger, amalgamation or any other change whatsoever in the name, membership, constitution or place of formation of either Borrower or any of the Lenders.

(f) The provisions of this Section 2.4 are made for the benefit of the Lenders and their successors and assigns, and may be enforced by them from time to time against either of the Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of the Lenders first to marshal any of its claims or to exercise any of its rights against the other Borrower or to exhaust any remedies available to it against the other Borrower or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 2.4 shall remain in effect until all the Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Lenders upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of either of the Borrowers, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 2.4 will forthwith be reinstated and in effect as though such payment had not been made.

(g) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Credit Documents, to the extent the obligations of either Borrower shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of such Borrower hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable law (whether federal or state and including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code).

2.5 Appointment of BOP.

BRT hereby appoints BOP to act as its agent for all purposes under this Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, with respect to all matters related to the borrowing and repayment of Loans) and agrees that (i) BOP may execute such documents on behalf of BRT as BOP deems appropriate in its sole discretion and BRT shall be obligated by all of the terms of any such document executed on its behalf, (ii) any notice or communication delivered by the Administrative Agent or the Lender to BOP shall be deemed delivered to BRT and (iii) the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may accept, and be permitted to rely on, any document, instrument or agreement executed by BOP on behalf of BRT.

-48-

2.6 Non-Recourse.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no recourse shall be had against any past, present or future shareholder, officer, director or trustee of BRT for any obligation of the Credit Parties under the Credit Documents, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof; provided, however, that this Section 2.6 shall not restrict or limit any claim against any such Person arising out of or occurring with respect to fraud or any intentional misrepresentation or any act or omission that is willful or wanton or constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct.

2.7 Increase of Revolving Committed Amount.

Unless a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, may request on up to four (4) occasions during the term of this Agreement that the Revolving Committed Amount be increased by an amount not less than $25,000,000 per request and not more than $200,000,000 in the aggregate (such that the Revolving Committed Amount after such increase shall never exceed $800,000,000); provided that for any such request (a) the Borrowers shall not have requested the extension of the Revolving Loan Maturity Date pursuant to Section 3.5(b), (b) any Lender which is a party to this Credit Agreement prior to such request for increase, at its sole discretion, may elect to increase its Commitment, but shall not have any obligation to so increase its Commitment, and (c) in the event that a Lender does not elect to increase its Commitment, the Arrangers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to locate additional lenders (which qualify as Eligible Assignees) reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent willing to hold commitments for the requested increase. In the event that Lenders commit to any such increase, (i) the Commitments of the committed Lenders and the Revolving Committed Amount shall be increased, (ii) the Revolving Loan Commitment Percentage of each of the Lenders shall be adjusted according to the reallocated Revolving Loan Commitment Percentages (or, in the case of a new lender not previously party hereto, added to Exhibit 1.1(a)) and the Borrowers shall make such borrowings and repayments as shall be necessary to effect a reallocation of the Revolving Loans, (iii) if requested by any Lender making an additional or new commitment, new or replacement Notes shall be issued, and (iv) other changes shall be made by way of supplement, amendment or restatement of any Credit Document as may be necessary or desirable to reflect the aggregate amount, if any, by which Lenders have agreed to increase their respective Commitments or any other lenders (which qualify as Eligible Assignees) have agreed to make new commitments pursuant to this Section 2.7, in each case notwithstanding anything in Section 11.6 to the contrary, without the consent of any Lender other than those Lenders increasing their Commitments. The fees payable by the Borrowers upon any such increase in the Revolving Committed Amount shall be agreed upon by the Arrangers and the Borrowers at the time of such increase.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 2.7 shall constitute or be deemed to constitute an agreement by any Lender to increase its Commitment hereunder.

-49-

SECTION 3.

GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT

3.1 Interest.

(a) Interest Rate. All Base Rate Loans (excluding Swing Loans) shall accrue interest at the Base Rate. All Swing Loans shall accrue interest at the Swing Loan Rate. All Eurodollar Loans shall accrue interest at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate. All Competitive Bid Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Eurodollar Rate determined for the Interest Period (determined as if the related Competitive Bid Loan were a Revolving Loan which is a Eurodollar Loan) plus (ii) the Competitive Bid Margin quoted by the Lender making such Competitive Bid Loan in accordance with Section 2.2.

(b) Default Rate of Interest. Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default, the principal of and, to the extent permitted by law, interest on the Loans and any other amounts owing hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (including without limitation fees and expenses) shall bear interest, payable on demand, at a per annum rate equal to four percent (4%) plus the rate which would otherwise be applicable (or if no rate is applicable, then the rate for Base Rate Loans plus four percent (4%) per annum); provided that unless the Loans have been accelerated, interest, including the default rate of interest, shall only be due and payable on the Interest Payment Dates.

(c) Interest Payments. Interest on Loans shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. If an Interest Payment Date falls on a date which is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date shall be deemed to be the succeeding Business Day, except that in the case of Eurodollar Loans and Competitive Bid Loans where the succeeding Business Day falls in the succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date shall be the preceding Business Day.

3.2 Place and Manner of Payments.

All payments of principal, interest, fees, expenses and other amounts to be made by a Borrower under this Credit Agreement shall be made by such Borrower unconditionally and without deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff and received not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date when due, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent at its offices in New York City, New York or to the Swing Lender at its applicable address or Issuing Lender at its applicable address. Payments received after such time shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. The Borrowers shall, at the time they make any

-50-

payment under this Credit Agreement, specify to the Administrative Agent, Swing Lender or Issuing Lender, as applicable, the Loans, Letters of Credit, fees or other amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder to which such payment is to be applied (and in the event that they fail to specify, or if such application would be inconsistent with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to Section 3.7, distribute such payment to the Lenders in such manner as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate). The Administrative Agent will distribute any such payment to the Lenders on the day received if such payment is received prior to 2:00 p.m.; otherwise the Administrative Agent will distribute such payment to the Lenders on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (subject to accrual of interest and fees for the period of such extension), except that in the case of Eurodollar Loans, if the extension would cause the payment to be made in the next following calendar month, then such payment shall instead be made on the next preceding Business Day.

3.3 Prepayments.

(a) Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrowers shall have the right to prepay Committed Loans, in whole or in part from time to time without premium or penalty; provided, however, that (i) Eurodollar Loans may only be prepaid on three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and any prepayment of Eurodollar Loans will be subject to Section 3.14, (ii) (x) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, each such partial prepayment shall be in the minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof, or (y) in the case of Base Rate Loans, each such partial prepayment shall be in the minimum principal amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Credit Agreement to the contrary, Competitive Bid Loans may not be voluntarily prepaid without the consent of the Lender(s) making such Competitive Bid Loans.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments.

(i) If at any time (other than if consented to in writing by the Lenders) the aggregate amount of Loans outstanding plus LOC Obligations outstanding exceeds the Revolving Committed Amount, the Borrowers shall immediately prepay the Loans in the amount of such excess in accordance with Section 3.3(c); and

(ii) If at any time after the Closing Date a Change of Control shall occur (the date on which such Change of Control occurs being the “Prepayment Date”), the Commitments shall terminate and reduce to zero and the Borrowers shall immediately prepay the Loans and cause the return of any outstanding Letters of Credit on the Prepayment Date as if

-51-

the Prepayment Date were the Revolving Loan Maturity Date. The Borrowers shall make such prepayment on the Prepayment Date together with all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and any unpaid fees and expenses that are due and owing. Amounts prepaid pursuant to this Section 3.3(b)(ii) may not be reborrowed.

(c) Application of Prepayments. All amounts paid pursuant to Section 3.3(a) shall be applied as directed by the Borrowers. All amounts paid pursuant to Section 3.3(a) the application of which has not been directed by the Borrowers and all amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 3.3(b)(i) shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans, then to Eurodollar Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities, and then to Competitive Bid Loans (subject to the last sentence of Section 3.3(a)). All prepayments hereunder shall be subject to Section 3.14; provided that prepayments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.3(b) that repay a Eurodollar Loan within 30 days of the last day of its Interest Period shall not be subject to Section 3.14.

3.4 Fees.

(a) Facility Fees. In consideration of the Revolving Committed Amount being made available by the Lenders hereunder, the Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the pro rata benefit of each Lender (based on each Lender’s Commitment and the number of days that such Lender was a Lender during the prior fiscal quarter), a fee (collectively, the “Facility Fees”) equal to:

(i) for each day that BRT or BOP has at least two Unsecured Senior Debt Ratings in effect, (A) if the current Applicable Percentage for the Borrowers corresponds to Pricing Level I or II, 0.15% per annum on the entire Revolving Committed Amount, (B) if the current Applicable Percentage for the Borrowers corresponds to Pricing Level III, 0.175% per annum on the entire Revolving Committed Amount, or (C) if the current Applicable Percentage for the Borrowers corresponds to Pricing Level IV, 0.25% per annum on the entire Revolving Committed Amount; and

(ii) for each day that BRT or BOP does not have at least two Unsecured Senior Debt Ratings in effect, 0.25% per annum on the entire Revolving Committed Amount.

The Facility Fees shall commence to accrue on the Effective Date and shall be due and payable in arrears on the first day of each fiscal quarter of the Borrowers (as well as on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date and on any date that the Revolving Committed Amount is reduced) for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter (or portion thereof), beginning with the first of such dates to occur after

-52-

the Effective Date.

(b) Letter of Credit Fees.

(i) Letter of Credit Fees. In consideration of the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder, the Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the pro rata benefit of the applicable Lenders (based on each Lender’s Commitment), a per annum fee (the “Letter of Credit Fees”) equal to a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Percentage on the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under each such Letter of Credit from the date of issuance to the date of expiration. The Letter of Credit Fees will be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each fiscal quarter of the Borrowers after the issuance of such Letter of Credit (as well as on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date).

(ii) Issuing Lender Fees. In addition to the Letter of Credit Fees payable pursuant to subsection (i) above, the Borrowers shall pay to the Issuing Lender for its own account, without sharing by the other Lenders, (A) a fee equal to 0.10% per annum on the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under each such Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender from the date of issuance to the date of expiration, such fee to be paid quarterly in arrears or the first day of each fiscal quarter of the Borrowers after the issuance of such Letter of Credit (as well as the Revolving Loan Maturity Date), and (B) the customary charges from time to time of the Issuing Lender for its services in connection with the issuance, amendment, payment, transfer, administration, cancellation and conversion of, and drawings under, Letters of Credit (collectively, the “Issuing Lender Fees”).

(c) Administrative Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, an annual fee as agreed to between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in the Fee Letter.

(d) Competitive Bid Fee. Simultaneously with the delivery of each Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account, a fee equal to $2,500.

3.5 Payment in full at Maturity; Extension of Maturity.

(a) On the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, the Commitments and the Swing Loan Commitment shall terminate and the entire outstanding principal balance of all Loans and all LOC Obligations, together with accrued but unpaid interest and all other sums owing with respect thereto, shall be due and payable in

-53-

full, unless accelerated sooner pursuant to Section 9.2; provided that Competitive Bid Loans shall also be due and payable in full as provided in Section 2.2(i).

(b) So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers may elect at least 30 days but no more than 90 days prior to the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date, to extend the Revolving Loan Maturity Date for one (1) year by providing written notice of such election to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify each of the Lenders). If on the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date (i) no Default or Event of Default exists and is continuing, (ii) the Borrowers pay to the Administrative Agent, for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders, an extension fee equal to 0.15% of the then Revolving Committed Amount, and (iii) the Borrowers have given written notice to the Administrative Agent of such election to extend the Revolving Loan Maturity Date within the time frame set forth in this Section 3.5(b), the Revolving Loan Maturity Date shall be extended to June 29, 2012.

3.6 Computations of Interest and Fees.

(a) Except for Base Rate Loans bearing interest based on the Prime Rate, which shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 or 366 day year as the case may be, all computations of interest and fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days. Interest shall accrue from and include the date of borrowing (or continuation or conversion) but exclude the date of payment.

(b) It is the intent of the Lenders and the Borrowers to conform to and contract in strict compliance with applicable usury law from time to time in effect. All agreements between the Lenders and the Credit Parties are hereby limited by the provisions of this paragraph which shall override and control all such agreements, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral. In no way, nor in any event or contingency (including but not limited to prepayment or acceleration of the maturity of any obligation), shall the interest taken, reserved, contracted for, charged, or received under this Credit Agreement, under the Notes or otherwise, exceed the maximum nonusurious amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any possible construction of any of the Credit Documents or any other document, interest would otherwise be payable in excess of the maximum nonusurious amount, any such construction shall be subject to the provisions of this paragraph and such interest shall be automatically reduced to the maximum nonusurious amount permitted under applicable law, without the necessity of execution of any amendment or new document. If any Lender shall ever receive anything of value which is characterized as interest on the Loans under applicable law and which would, apart from this provision, be in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to the amount which would have been excessive interest shall, without penalty, be applied to the

-54-

reduction of the principal amount owing on the Loans and not to the payment of interest, or refunded to the Borrowers or the other payor thereof if and to the extent such amount which would have been excessive exceeds such unpaid principal amount of the Loans. The right to demand payment of the Loans or any other indebtedness evidenced by any of the Credit Documents does not include the right to receive any interest which has not otherwise accrued on the date of such demand, and the Lenders do not intend to charge or receive any unearned interest in the event of such demand. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders with respect to the Loans shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term (including any renewal or extension) of the Loans so that the amount of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the maximum nonusurious amount permitted by applicable law.

3.7 Pro Rata Treatment.

Except to the extent otherwise provided herein:

(a) Loans. Each Revolving Loan borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Revolving Loan, each payment of fees (other than administrative fees payable pursuant to Section 3.4(c) and Section 3.4(d), the Issuing Lender Fees and, as set forth in Section 3.4(a), the Facility Fees), each reduction of the Revolving Committed Amount, and each conversion or continuation of any Revolving Loan, shall (except as otherwise provided in Section 3.11) be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective Revolving Loan Commitment Percentages of the Lenders (or, if the Commitments of the Lenders have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the outstanding Loans and Participation Interests of the Lenders); provided that, if any Lender shall have failed to pay its applicable pro rata share of any Revolving Loan, then any amount to which such Lender would otherwise be entitled pursuant to this Section 3.7 shall instead be payable to the Administrative Agent until the share of such Loan not funded by such Lender has been repaid; provided further, that in the event any amount paid to any Lender pursuant to this Section 3.7 is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so paid to such Lender, with interest for the period commencing on the date such payment is returned by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent receives such repayment at a rate per annum equal to, during the period to but excluding the date two Business Days after such request, the Federal Funds Rate, and thereafter, at the Base Rate plus two percent (2%) per annum.

(b) Letters of Credit. Each payment of unreimbursed drawings in respect of LOC Obligations shall be allocated to each LOC Participant pro rata in

-55-

accordance with its Revolving Loan Commitment Percentage; provided that, if any LOC Participant shall have failed to pay its applicable pro rata share of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, then any amount to which such LOC Participant would otherwise be entitled pursuant to this subsection (b) shall instead be payable to the Issuing Lender until the share of such unreimbursed drawing not funded by such Lender has been repaid; provided further, that in the event any amount paid to any LOC Participant pursuant to this subsection (b) is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Issuing Lender, each LOC Participant shall, upon the request of the Issuing Lender, repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender the amount so paid to such LOC Participant, with interest for the period commencing on the date such payment is returned by the Issuing Lender until the date the Issuing Lender receives such repayment at a rate per annum equal to, during the period to but excluding the date two Business Days after such request, the Federal Funds Rate, and thereafter, the Base Rate plus two percent (2%) per annum.

3.8 Sharing of Payments.

The Lenders agree among themselves that, except to the extent otherwise provided herein, in the event that any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of any Loan or any other obligation owing to such Lender under this Credit Agreement through the exercise of a right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means (other than in connection with an assignment pursuant to Section 3.15 or Section 11.3 or the repayment of a Swing Loan to the Swing Lender or the repayment of a Competitive Bid Loan to a particular Competitive Bid Lender), in excess of its pro rata share of such payment as provided for in this Credit Agreement, such Lender shall promptly pay in cash or purchase from the other Lenders a participation in such Loans and other obligations in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time, as shall be equitable to the end that all Lenders share such payment in accordance with their respective ratable shares as provided for in this Credit Agreement. The Lenders further agree among themselves that if payment to a Lender obtained by such Lender through the exercise of a right of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or other event as aforesaid shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored, each Lender which shall have shared the benefit of such payment shall, by payment in cash or a repurchase of a participation theretofore sold, return its share of that benefit (together with its share of any accrued interest payable with respect thereto) to each Lender whose payment shall have been rescinded or otherwise restored. The Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing such a participation may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all rights of payment, including setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim, with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a holder of such Loan or other obligation in the amount of such participation. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Credit Agreement, if any Lender shall fail

-56-

to remit to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender an amount payable by such Lender to the Administrative Agent or such other Lender pursuant to this Credit Agreement on the date when such amount is due, such payments shall be made together with interest thereon for each date from the date such amount is due until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent or such other Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section 3.8 applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders under this Section 3.8 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

3.9 Capital Adequacy.

If, after the date hereof, any Lender has determined that the adoption or the becoming effective of, or any change in, or any change by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof in the interpretation or administration of, any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or compliance by such Lender, 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, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s (or parent corporation’s) capital or assets as a consequence of its 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 parent corporation’s) policies with respect to capital adequacy), then, upon notice from such Lender to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender (or parent corporation) on an after-tax basis (after taking into account applicable deductions and credits in respect of the amount indemnified) for such reduction. Each determination by any such Lender of amounts owing under this Section shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Credit Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

3.10 Inability To Determine Interest Rate.

If prior to the first day of any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate or the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter, and will also give prompt written notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders when such conditions no longer exist. If such notice is given (a) any Eurodollar Loans or

-57-

Competitive Bid Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans and (b) any Revolving Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to or continued as Eurodollar Loans shall be converted to or continued as Base Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans or Competitive Bid Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrowers have the right to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans.

3.11 Illegality.

Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof occurring after the Closing Date shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans or Competitive Bid Loans as contemplated by this Credit Agreement, (a) such Lender shall promptly give written notice of such circumstances to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be promptly withdrawn whenever such circumstances no longer exist), (b) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans or Competitive Bid Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert a Base Rate Loan to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be cancelled and, until such time as it shall no longer be unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans, such Lender shall then have a commitment only to make a Base Rate Loan when a Eurodollar Loan is requested and (c) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans or Competitive Bid Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan or a Competitive Bid Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 3.14; provided that no such payments shall be required if the conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs within 30 days of the last day of the Interest Period of such Eurodollar Loan.

3.12 Requirements of Law.

If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof applicable to any Lender, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, in each case made subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if later, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender):

(a) shall subject such Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Letter of Credit, any Eurodollar Loans made by it, any Competitive Bid Loans made by it, its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans or any obligation to make Competitive Bid Loans, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by

-58-

Section 3.13 (including Non-Excluded Taxes imposed solely by reason of any failure of such Lender to comply with its obligations (if any) under Section 3.13(b)) and changes in taxes measured by or imposed upon the overall net income, or franchise tax (imposed in lieu of such net income tax), of such Lender or its applicable lending office, branch, or any Affiliate thereof);

(b) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate hereunder; or

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, upon notice to the Borrowers from such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, in accordance herewith, the Borrowers shall be obligated to promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender on an after-tax basis (after taking into account applicable deductions and credits in respect of the amount indemnified) for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable, provided that, in any such case, the Borrowers may elect to convert the Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender hereunder to Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day’s notice of such election, in which case the Borrowers shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon demand, without duplication, such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 3.14. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.12, it shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Borrowers, through the Administrative Agent, certifying (x) that one of the events described in this Section 3.12 has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the increased cost or reduced amount resulting from such event and (z) as to the additional amount demanded by such Lender and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof. Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.12 submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrowers shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Credit Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

-59-

3.13 Taxes.

(a) Except as provided below in this Section 3.13, all payments made by the Borrowers under this Credit Agreement and any Notes shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any court, or governmental body, agency or other official, excluding taxes measured by or imposed upon the overall net income of any Lender or its applicable lending office, or any branch or Affiliate thereof, and all franchise taxes, branch taxes, taxes on doing business or taxes on the overall capital or net worth of any Lender or its applicable lending office, or any branch or Affiliate thereof, in each case imposed in lieu of net income taxes: (i) by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender, applicable lending office, branch or Affiliate is organized or is located, or in which its principal executive office is located, or any nation within which such jurisdiction is located or any political subdivision thereof; or (ii) by reason of any connection between the jurisdiction imposing such tax and such Lender, applicable lending office, branch or Affiliate other than a connection arising solely from such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations, or received payment under or enforced, this Credit Agreement or any Notes. If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any Notes, (A) the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest on any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Credit Agreement and any Notes, provided, however, that the Borrowers shall be entitled to deduct and withhold any Non-Excluded Taxes and shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender that is not organized under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof if such Lender fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (b) of this Section 3.13 whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by the Borrowers, and (B) as promptly as possible after request therefor the Borrowers shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrowers showing payment thereof. If the Borrowers fail to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fail to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and any Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this subsection shall survive the termination of this Credit Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

-61-

the Borrowers (for the benefit of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent) such other forms as may be reasonably required in order to establish the legal entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from withholding with respect to payments under this Credit Agreement and any Notes.

Notwithstanding the above, if any change in treaty, law or regulation has occurred after the date such Person becomes a Lender hereunder which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender so advises the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent then such Lender shall be exempt from such requirements. Each Person that shall become a Lender or a participant of a Lender pursuant to Section 11.3 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, and if applicable, be required to provide all of the forms, certifications and statements required pursuant to this subsection (b); provided that in the case of a participant of a Lender, the obligations of such participant of a Lender pursuant to this subsection (b) shall be determined as if such participant of a Lender were a Lender except that such participant of a Lender shall furnish all such required forms, certifications and statements to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased.

3.14 Compensation.

Except as expressly set forth in Section 3.3(c), the Borrowers promise to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrowers in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans, or a borrowing of Competitive Bid Loans, after the Borrowers have given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Credit Agreement, (b) default by the Borrowers in making any prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan or Competitive Bid Loan after the Borrowers have given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Credit Agreement and (c) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of Eurodollar Loans or Competitive Bid Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification shall be calculated by the Administrative Agent and shall include, without limitation, an amount equal to (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of the applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Eurodollar Loans or Competitive Bid Loans provided for herein minus (ii) the amount of interest which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank Eurodollar market. The agreements in this Section 3.14 shall survive the termination of

-62-

this Credit Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan made hereunder (as a result of a mandatory requirement of this Credit Agreement) within thirty (30) days of the end of the Interest Period with respect to such Eurodollar Loan, shall not be subject to this Section 3.14.

3.15 Mitigation; Mandatory Assignment.

Each Lender shall use reasonable efforts to avoid or mitigate any increased cost or suspension of the availability of an interest rate under Sections 3.9 through 3.14 inclusive to the greatest extent practicable (including transferring the Loans to another lending office or one of its Affiliates) unless, in the opinion of such Lender, such efforts would be likely to have an adverse effect upon it. In the event a Lender makes a request to the Borrowers for additional payments in accordance with Sections 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13 or 3.14 or a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time, the Borrowers may, at their own expense (such expense to include any transfer fee payable to the Administrative Agent under Section 11.3(b) and any expense pursuant to Section 3.14), and in their sole discretion, require such Lender to transfer and assign in whole (but not in part), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of Section 11.3(b)), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement to an Eligible Assignee which shall assume such assigned obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (a) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other governmental authority and (b) the Borrowers or such assignee shall have paid to the assigning Lender in immediately available funds the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the portion of the Loans hereunder held by such assigning Lender and all other amounts owed to such assigning Lender hereunder, including amounts owed pursuant to Sections 3.9 through 3.14. Notwithstanding such assignment, and without limiting any other provision of this Credit Agreement, such assigning Lender shall continue to benefit from the provisions of Sections 3.9, 3.12, 3.13 and 11.5 with respect to the period before the effectiveness of such assignment.

9.2 Acceleration; Remedies.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and at any time thereafter unless and until such Event of Default has been waived in writing by the Required Lenders (or the Lenders as may be required hereunder), the Administrative Agent shall, upon the request and direction of the Required Lenders, by written notice to the Borrowers, take any of the following actions without prejudice to the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to enforce its claims against the Borrowers, except as otherwise specifically provided for herein:

(a) Termination of Commitments. Declare the Commitments terminated whereupon the Commitments shall be immediately terminated.

(b) Acceleration of Loans. Declare the unpaid principal of and any accrued interest in respect of all Loans, any reimbursement obligations arising from drawings under Letters of Credit and any and all other indebtedness or obligations of any and every kind owing by a Borrower to any of the Lenders hereunder to be due whereupon the same shall be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers.

(c) Cash Collateral. Direct the Borrowers to pay (and the Borrowers agree that upon receipt of such notice, or automatically upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 9.1(e), they will immediately pay) to the Administrative Agent additional cash, to be held by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in a cash collateral account as additional security for the LOC Obligations in respect of subsequent drawings under all then outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount equal to the maximum aggregate amount which may be drawn under all Letters of Credits then outstanding.

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in Section 9.1(e) shall occur, then the Commitments shall automatically terminate and all Loans, all accrued interest in respect thereof, all accrued and unpaid fees, all reimbursement obligations under Letters of Credit and all other indebtedness or obligations owing to the Lenders hereunder shall automatically and immediately become due and payable without the giving of any notice or other action by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, which notice or other action is expressly waived by the Borrowers.

-91-

Notwithstanding the fact that enforcement powers reside primarily with the Administrative Agent, each Lender has, to the extent permitted by law, a separate right of payment and shall be considered a separate “creditor” holding a separate “claim” within the meaning of Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code or any other insolvency statute.

9.3 Allocation of Payments After Event of Default.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Credit Agreement, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts collected or received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender on account of amounts outstanding under any of the Credit Documents shall be paid over or delivered as follows:

FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the Administrative Agent in connection with enforcing the rights of the Lenders under the Credit Documents;

SECOND, to payment of any fees owed to the Administrative Agent;

THIRD, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) of each of the Lenders in connection with enforcing its rights under the Credit Documents;

FOURTH, to the payment of all accrued fees and interest payable to the Lenders hereunder;

FIFTH, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans, and, with respect to unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit, to the payment or cash collateralization of the outstanding LOC Obligations pro rata, as set forth below;

SIXTH, to all other Obligations which shall have become due and payable under the Credit Documents and not repaid pursuant to clauses “FIRST” through “FIFTH” above; and

SEVENTH, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to whoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

In carrying out the foregoing, (a) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next succeeding category; (b) each of the Lenders shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on the proportion that the then outstanding Loans and LOC Obligations held by such Lender bears to the aggregate then outstanding Loans and LOC Obligations) of amounts available to be applied pursuant to clauses “THIRD”, “FOURTH,” “FIFTH,” and “SIXTH” above and (c) to the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause “FIFTH” above are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, such amounts shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a cash collateral account and applied (x) first, to reimburse the Issuing Lender from time

-92-

to time for any drawings under such Letters of Credit and (y) then, following the expiration of all Letters of Credit, to all other Obligations of the types described in clauses “FIFTH” and “SIXTH” above in the manner provided in this Section 9.3.

SECTION 10.

AGENCY PROVISIONS

10.1 Appointment.

Each Lender hereby designates and appoints JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Administrative Agent of such Lender to act as specified herein and in the other Credit Documents, and each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, as the agent for such Lender, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated by the terms hereof and of the other Credit Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere herein and in the other Credit Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and therein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, or shall otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. The provisions of this Section are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and none of the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, the Administrative Agent shall act solely as an 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 any Borrowers or their Subsidiaries.

10.2 Delegation of Duties.

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

10.3 Exculpatory Provisions.

No Agent-Related Person shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection herewith or in connection with any of the other Credit Documents (except for such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals,

-93-

statements, representations or warranties made by any of the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries contained herein or in any of the other Credit Documents or in any certificate, report, document, financial statement or other written or oral statement referred to or provided for in, or received by an Agent-Related Person under or in connection herewith or in connection with the other Credit Documents, or the enforceability or sufficiency of this Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, or for any failure of the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries to perform their obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be responsible to any Lender for the effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency of this Credit Agreement, or any of the other Credit Documents or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made by the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries 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 an Agent-Related Person to the Lenders or by or on behalf of the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries to an Agent-Related Person 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 the use of the Letters of Credit or of the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries. No Agent-Related Person is a trustee for the Lenders or owes any fiduciary duty to the Lenders.

10.4 Reliance on Communications.

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, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to any of the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent with reasonable care). The Administrative Agent may deem and treat each Lender as the owner of its interests hereunder for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 11.3(b). The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Credit Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, to the extent provided in Section 11.6, all of the Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense (other than any liability or expense resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent) which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agent-Related Persons shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents in accordance with a request of the

-94-

Required Lenders (or to the extent specifically provided in Section 11.6, all the Lenders) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders (including their successors and assigns).

10.5 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 a Borrower referring to the applicable Credit Document, 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 (or, to the extent provided in Section 11.6, all of the Lenders).

10.6 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.

Each Lender expressly acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent-Related Person hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Borrower or its Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person or any other Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent and the Arranger that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person 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 Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Credit Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person 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 Credit 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 Borrowers and their Subsidiaries. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, no Agent-Related Person shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, assets, property, financial or other conditions, prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

-95-

10.7 Indemnification.

The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), ratably according to their respective Commitments (or if the Commitments have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of outstanding Loans and Participation Interests of the Lenders), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including without limitation at any time following payment in full of the Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent-Related Person in any way relating to or arising out of this Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent-Related Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent-Related Person. If any indemnity furnished to the Administrative Agent 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 (except against its gross negligence or willful misconduct) is furnished. The agreements in this Section 10.7 shall survive the payment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Credit Documents.

10.8 Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity.

The Person serving as the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries as though the Person serving as the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. With respect to the Loans made and Letters of Credit issued and all obligations owing to it, the Person serving as the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Credit 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 Person serving as the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

10.9 Successor Agent.

The Administrative Agent (a) may, at any time, resign upon 20 days written notice to the Lenders or (b) may be removed for willful misconduct or gross negligence by written notice from the Required Lenders; provided that no consent of the Borrowers shall be required during the existence and continuation of an Event of Default. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. In the case of the Administrative Agent’s resignation or

-96-

removal, if no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 45 days after the notice of resignation or removal, then the retiring Administrative Agent shall select a successor Administrative Agent provided such successor is a Lender hereunder or an Eligible Assignee. If no such successor shall have been appointed by the Administrative Agent, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 45 days after such notice of resignation, such notice shall nevertheless become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor as provided above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, if any, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as the Administrative Agent, as appropriate, under this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the provisions of this Section 10.9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Credit Agreement.

Any syndication agent or documentation agent hereunder may resign at any time without any requirement that a successor syndication agent or documentation agent, respectively, be appointed in its stead.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications shall have been duly given and shall be effective (a) when delivered, (b) when transmitted via telecopy (or other facsimile device), (c) the Business Day following the day on which the same has been delivered prepaid or on an invoice arrangement to a reputable national overnight air courier service, or (d) the third Business Day following the day on which the same is sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, in each case to the respective parties at the address or telecopy numbers set forth on Schedule 11.1, or at such other address or numbers as such party may specify by written notice to the other parties hereto.

11.2 Right of Set-Off.

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 of an Event of Default and the commencement of remedies described in Section 9.2, each Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without presentment, demand,

-97-

protest or other notice of any kind (all of which rights 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 (including, without limitation, branches, agencies or Affiliates of such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or its Subsidiaries against obligations and liabilities of such Borrower to the Lenders hereunder, under the Notes, the other Credit Documents or otherwise, irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall have made any demand hereunder and although such obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured, and any such set-off shall be deemed to have been made immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default even though such charge is made or entered on the books of such Lender subsequent thereto. The Borrowers hereby agree that any Person purchasing a participation in the Loans and Commitments hereunder pursuant to Section 11.3(c) or 3.8 may exercise all rights of set-off with respect to its participation interest as fully as if such Person were a Lender hereunder.

11.3 Benefit of Agreement.

(a) Generally. This Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided that none of the Borrowers may assign and transfer any of its interests, rights or obligations under any Credit Document (except as permitted by Sections 8.4 or 8.5) without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders (and any attempt at such assignment or transfer without such consent shall be null and void); and provided further that the rights of each Lender to transfer, assign or grant participations in its rights and/or obligations hereunder shall be limited as set forth in subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 11.3. Notwithstanding the above (including anything set forth in subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 11.3), nothing herein shall restrict, prevent or prohibit any Lender from (A) pledging or assigning a security interest in its rights hereunder or under its Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto, or (B) granting assignments or participations in such Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments hereunder to its parent company and/or to any Affiliate of such Lender or to any existing Lender or Affiliate thereof.

(b) Assignments. In addition to the assignments permitted by Section 11.3(a), each Lender may, with the prior written consent of the Borrowers, the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent (provided that no consent of the Borrowers shall be required during the existence and continuation of an Event of Default), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, assign all

-98-

or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder pursuant to an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit 11.3 to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that (i) any such assignment shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 of the Commitments and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 above such amount (or the remaining amount of Commitments held by such Lender) and (ii) each such assignment shall be of a constant, not varying, percentage of all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Commitment being assigned. Any assignment hereunder shall be effective upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth above and delivery to the Administrative Agent of a duly executed assignment agreement together with a transfer fee of $3,500 payable to the Administrative Agent for its own account. Upon the effectiveness of any such assignment, the assignee shall become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents and, to the extent of such assignment, the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder to the extent of the Loans and Commitment components being assigned. The Borrowers agree that upon notice of any assignment to an assignee that was not theretofore a Lender, they will promptly provide to such assignee a new Note. Each Lender agrees that, in the event it assigns all of its Commitment hereunder, it shall promptly return the Note or Note(s) executed by the Borrowers in its favor.

By executing and delivering an assignment agreement in accordance with this Section 11.3(b), the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and the assignee warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) except as set forth in clause (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Credit Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Credit Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto or the financial condition of any Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the performance or observance by any Credit Party of any of its obligations under this Credit Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (iii) such assigning Lender and such assignee each represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such assignment agreement; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such assignment agreement; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such

-99-

assigning Lender 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 decisions in taking or not taking action under this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(c) Participations. Each Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell, transfer or grant participations in all or any part of such Lender’s interests and obligations hereunder; provided that (i) such selling Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes under this Credit Agreement (such selling Lender’s obligations under the Credit Documents remaining unchanged) and the participant shall not constitute a Lender hereunder, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal exclusively with such selling Lender, and (ii) no such participant shall have, or be granted, rights to approve any amendment or waiver relating to this Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents except to the extent any such amendment or waiver would (A) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on or fees in respect of any Loans in which the participant is participating or increase any Commitments with respect thereto, or (B) postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal (including the extension of the final maturity of any Loan or the date of any mandatory prepayment, other than pursuant to Section 3.5), interest or fees in which the participant is participating. In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against the selling Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the participation agreement with such Lender creating such participation) and all amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation; provided, however, that such participant shall be entitled to receive additional amounts under Sections 3.9, 3.12, 3.13 and 3.14 to the same extent that the Lender from which such participant acquired its participation would be entitled to the benefit of such cost protection provisions. Participations by a Person in a Competitive Bid Loan of any Lender shall not be deemed “participations” for purposes of this Section 11.3(c) and shall not be subject to the restrictions on “participations” contained herein.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s office at the Agency Services Address a copy of each assignment agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and

-100-

addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans and LOC Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Credit Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Any Lender (each, a “Designating Lender”) may at any time designate one Designated Bank, which shall be an Affiliate of such Designating Lender, to fund Competitive Bid Loans on behalf of such Designating Lender subject to the terms of this Section 11.3(e) and the provisions in Section 11.3(b) and (c) shall not apply to such designation. No Lender may designate more than one (1) Designated Bank. The parties to each such designation shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance a Designation Agreement. Upon such receipt of an appropriately completed Designation Agreement executed by a Designating Lender and a designee representing that it is a Designated Bank, the Administrative Agent will accept such Designation Agreement and will give prompt notice thereof to the Borrowers, whereupon, (i) the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Designating Bank a Designated Bank Note payable to the order of the Designated Bank, (ii) from and after the effective date specified in the Designation Agreement, the Designated Bank shall become a party to this Agreement with a right to make Competitive Bid Loans on behalf of its Designating Lender pursuant to Section 2.2 after the Borrowers have accepted a Competitive Bid Loan (or portion thereof) of the Designating Lender, and (iii) the Designated Bank shall not be required to make payments with respect to any obligations in this Credit Agreement except to the extent of excess cash flow of such Designated Bank which is not otherwise required to repay obligations of such Designated Bank which are then due and payable; provided, however, that regardless of such designation and assumption by the Designated Bank, the Designating Lender shall be and remain obligated to the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, and the other Lenders for each and every of the obligations of the Designating Lender and its related Designated Bank with respect to this Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, any indemnification obligations under Section 10.7 hereof and any sums otherwise payable to the Borrowers by the Designated Bank. Each Designating Lender shall serve as the administrative agent of the Designated Bank and shall on behalf of, and to the exclusion of, the Designated Bank: (i) receive any and all payments made for the benefit of the Designated Bank and (ii) give and receive all communications and notices and take all actions hereunder, including, without limitation, votes, approvals, waivers, consents and amendments under or relating to this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Any such notice, communication, vote, approval,

waiver, consent or amendment shall be signed by the Designating Lender as administrative agent for the Designated Bank and shall not be signed by the Designated Bank on its own behalf but shall be binding on the Designated Bank to the same extent as if actually signed by the Designated Bank. The Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, and Lenders may rely thereon without any requirement that the Designated Bank sign or acknowledge the same. No Designated Bank may assign or transfer all or any portion of its interest hereunder or under any other Credit Document, other than assignments to the Designating Lender which originally designated such Designated Bank.

11.4 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.

No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Borrowers 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. The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Administrative Agent or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party 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.

11.5 Payment of Expenses; Indemnification.

The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to: (a) pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of (i) each Agent-Related Person in connection with (A) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery, syndication and administration of this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to therein (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Administrative Agent) and (B) any amendment, waiver or consent relating hereto and thereto including, but not limited to, any such amendments, waivers or consents resulting from or related to any work-out, renegotiation or restructure relating to the performance by the Borrowers under this Credit Agreement, and (ii) the Agent-Related Persons and the Lenders in connection with (A) enforcement of the Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein, including, without limitation, in connection with any such enforcement, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Agent-Related Persons and each of the Lenders, and (B) any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding of a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and (b) indemnify the Agent-Related Persons, each Lender and its officers, directors, employees, representatives, Affiliates and agents from and hold each of them harmless against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses incurred by any of them as a result

-102-

of, or arising out of, or in any way related to, or by reason of, any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not any Agent-Related Person or any Lender is a party thereto) related to (i) the entering into and/or performance of any Credit Document or the use of proceeds of any Extensions of Credit or the consummation of any other transactions contemplated in any Credit Document, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding (but excluding any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses to the extent incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Person to be indemnified), (ii) any Environmental Claim and (iii) any claims for Non-Excluded Taxes.

11.6 Amendments, Waivers and Consents.

Neither this Credit Agreement nor any other Credit Document nor any of the terms hereof or thereof may be amended, changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless such amendment, change, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing and signed by the Required Lenders and the Borrowers; provided that no such amendment, change, waiver, discharge or termination shall without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby:

(a) extend the final maturity of any Loan or any portion thereof or postpone any other date fixed for any payment of principal (other than in accordance with Section 3.5(b)) or permit the expiration date of any Letter of Credit to be after the Revolving Loan Maturity Date;

(b) reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest (other than as a result of waiving the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) thereon or fees hereunder;

(d) change the Commitment of a Lender from the amount thereof in effect, other than pursuant to an assignment permitted under Sections 3.5 or 11.3(b) or any reduction of the Commitments by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.1(e) (it being further understood and agreed that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or a waiver of any mandatory reduction in the Commitments shall not constitute a change in the terms of any Commitment of any Lender);

(e) release either Borrower from its obligations, or release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations, under the Credit Documents; provided that the Administrative Agent may release a Guarantor in accordance with Section 8.5 or in accordance with Section 11.19;

(f) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 11.6 or Section 3.7, 3.8, or 9.1(a), or any provision of any Credit Document which, by its

-103-

express terms, requires the consent, approval, agreement or satisfaction of all of the Lenders;

(g) reduce any percentage specified in, or otherwise modify, the definition of Required Lenders; or

(h) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under (or in respect of) the Credit Documents other than any assignment or transfer by a Guarantor permitted under this Credit Agreement.

If any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to the Credit Documents has been delivered in writing to a Lender by the Administrative Agent, and such amendment, waiver or consent requires only the approval of the Required Lenders to become effective, then such Lender shall have ten Business Days from the date of receipt of such amendment, waiver or consent to respond thereto. Failure of a Lender to timely respond to such amendment, waiver or consent shall be deemed an approval by such Lender of such amendment, waiver or consent.

No provision of Sections 2.2 or 2.3 may be amended or modified without the consent of the Swing Lender or Issuing Lender, as applicable. No provision of Section 10 may be amended or modified without the consent of the Administrative Agent.

Any increase in the Revolving Committed Amount pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof, shall be effective only after obtaining the consent of each of the Lenders electing to increase its respective Commitment and no other consent by any Lender not electing to increase its Commitment shall be required for any such increase in the Revolving Committed Amount.

Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all the Lenders is required in certain circumstances as set forth above, (x) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any reorganization plan that affects the Loans or the Letters of Credit, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code supersedes the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein and (y) the Required Lenders may consent to allow a Credit Party to use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

If, in connection with any proposed amendment, change, waiver, discharge or termination of this Credit Agreement as contemplated by this Section 11.6, the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then the Borrowers shall have the right to replace all, but not less than all, of such non-consenting Lender or Lenders (so long as all non-consenting Lenders are so replaced) with one or more Eligible Assignees identified by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 3.15 (as if each such non-consenting Lender had made a request referred to in Section 3.15) and Section 11.3 so long as at the time of such

-104-

replacement each such new Lender consents to the proposed amendment, change, waiver, discharge or termination.

11.7 Counterparts/Telecopy.

This Credit Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of executed counterparts by telecopy shall be as effective as an original and shall constitute a representation that an original will be delivered.

11.8 Headings.

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

11.9 Defaulting Lender.

Each Lender understands and agrees that if such Lender is a Defaulting Lender then notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.6 it shall not be entitled to vote on any matter requiring the consent of the Required Lenders or to object to any matter requiring the consent of all the Lenders; provided, however, that all other benefits and obligations under the Credit Documents shall apply to such Defaulting Lender.

11.10 Survival of Indemnification and Representations and Warranties.

All indemnities set forth herein and all representations and warranties made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Credit Agreement, the making of the Loans, the issuance of the Letters of Credit and the repayment of the Loans and other Obligations and the termination of the Commitments hereunder.

11.11 Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

(a) THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document may be brought in the courts of the State of New York in New York County, or of the United States for the Southern District of New York and, by execution and delivery of this Credit Agreement, each Borrower hereby irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of such courts. Each Borrower further irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the

-105-

aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to it at the address for notices pursuant to Section 11.1, such service to become effective 15 days after such mailing. Nothing herein shall affect the right of a Lender to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or to otherwise proceed against a Borrower in any other jurisdiction. Each Borrower agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law; provided that nothing in this Section 11.11(a) is intended to impair a Borrower’s right under applicable law to appeal or seek a stay of any judgment.

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

11.12 Waiver of Jury Trial.

EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY.

11.13 Time.

All references to time herein shall be references to Eastern Standard Time or Eastern Daylight Time, as the case may be, unless specified otherwise.

11.14 Severability.

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

11.15 Entirety.

This Credit Agreement together with the other Credit Documents represent the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, if any, including any commitment letters or

-106-

correspondence relating to the Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated herein and therein.

11.16 Binding Effect.

(a) This Credit Agreement shall become effective at such time as all of the conditions set forth in Section 5.1 have been satisfied or waived by the Lenders and it shall have been executed by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall have received copies hereof (telefaxed or otherwise) which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each Lender, and thereafter this Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns.

(b) This Credit Agreement shall be a continuing agreement and shall remain in full force and effect until all Loans, LOC Obligations, interest, fees and other Obligations have been paid in full and all Commitments and Letters of Credit have been terminated. Upon termination, the Borrowers shall have no further obligations (other than the indemnification provisions that survive) under the Credit Documents; provided that should any payment, in whole or in part, of the Obligations be rescinded or otherwise required to be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, then the Credit Documents shall automatically be reinstated and all amounts required to be restored or returned and all costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection therewith shall be deemed included as part of the Obligations.

11.17 Confidentiality.

Each Lender agrees that it will use its reasonable best efforts to keep confidential and to cause any representative designated under Section 7.11 to keep confidential any non-public information from time to time supplied to it under any Credit Document; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent the disclosure of any such information to (a) the extent a Lender in good faith believes such disclosure is required by Requirement of Law, (b) counsel for a Lender or to its accountants and other advisors, (c) bank examiners, auditors or comparable Persons or any regulatory body having jurisdiction over a Lender, (d) any Affiliate of a Lender, (e) any other Lender, or any assignee, transferee or participant, or, subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, (i) any potential assignee, transferee or participant, of all or any portion of any Lender’s rights under this Credit Agreement who is notified of the confidential nature of the information or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrowers and their obligations, (f) any other Person in connection with any litigation to which any one or more of the Lenders is a party or (g) any other Person to whom

-107-

disclosure of such information a Lender believes is necessary or appropriate in its reasonable judgment in connection with the exercise of remedies or enforcement of rights hereunder; and provided further that no Lender shall have any obligation under this Section 11.17 to the extent any such information becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than a Borrower or its Subsidiaries or that any information becomes publicly available other than by a breach of this Section 11.17.

11.18 Further Assurances.

The Borrowers agree, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, to promptly take such actions as are necessary to carry out the intent of this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

11.19 Release of Guarantors.

If a Guarantor no longer qualifies as the owner of Unencumbered Properties or becomes an Eligible Subsidiary, then, as long as no Default or Event of Default exists after giving effect to such event, the Lenders agree to release such Guarantor from its obligations hereunder.

11.20 USA PATRIOT Act.

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

11.21 Limitation on Liability.

Each Borrower waives any right to assert or make any claim against any Lender, the Swing Lender, any Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent for (or to xxx any Lender, the Swing Lender, any Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent upon any claim for) any special, indirect, incidental, punitive or consequential damages in respect of any breach or wrongful conduct (whether the claim is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by law) in connection with, arising out of or in any way related to this Agreement, any other Credit Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or any act, omission or event in connection therewith.

11.22 Transitional Arrangements.

(a) Existing Credit Agreement Superseded. This Agreement shall supersede the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety, except as provided in this Section 11.22. On the Closing Date, the rights and obligations of the parties

-108-

under each of the Existing Credit Agreement and the “Notes” defined therein shall be subsumed within and be governed by this Agreement and the Notes issued hereunder; provided however, that any of the “Obligations” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be Obligations hereunder. The Lenders’ interests in such Obligations shall be reallocated on the Closing Date in accordance with each Lender’s applicable Revolving Loan Commitment Percentage.

(b) Return and Cancellation of Notes. Upon its receipt of the Notes to be delivered hereunder on the Closing Date, each Lender will promptly return to the Borrowers, marked “Cancelled” or “Replaced”, the notes of the Borrowers held by such Lender pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement (other than any promissory notes issued to the Lenders to evidence Competitive Bid Loans made by Lenders which shall remain outstanding pursuant to Section 2.2(a)).

(c) Interest and Fees Under Existing Credit Agreement. All interest and all commitment, facility and other fees and expenses owing or accruing under or in respect of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be calculated as of the Closing Date (prorated in the case of any fractional periods), and shall be paid on the Closing Date in accordance with the method specified in the Existing Credit Agreement as if the Existing Credit Agreement were still in effect.

(d) Termination of Guaranties. On the Closing Date, all Guaranties (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) provided by the Guarantors (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be terminated and released.
