2.2 Issuance of Letters of Credit and Purchase of Participations Therein.

A. Letters of Credit. During the Commitment Period, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Bank agrees to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower in the aggregate amount up to but not exceeding the Letter of Credit Sublimit; provided (i) each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars; (ii) the stated amount of each

Letter of Credit shall not be less than $5,000,000 or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the Issuing Bank; (iii) after giving effect to such issuance, in no event shall the Total Utilization of Commitments exceed the Commitments then in effect; (iv) after giving effect to such issuance, in no event shall the Letter of Credit Usage exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit then in effect; (v) in no event shall any standby Letter of Credit have an expiration date later than the earlier of (1) five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date and (2) the date which is one year from the date of issuance of such standby Letter of Credit; and (vi) in no event shall any commercial Letter of Credit (x) have an expiration date later than the earlier of (1) five Business Days before the Maturity Date and (2) the date which is 180 days from the date of issuance of such commercial Letter of Credit or (y) be issued if such commercial Letter of Credit is otherwise unacceptable to the Issuing Bank in its reasonable discretion. Subject to the foregoing, the Issuing Bank may agree that a standby Letter of Credit will automatically be extended for one or more successive periods not to exceed one year each, unless the Issuing Bank elects not to extend for any such additional period; provided the Issuing Bank shall not extend any such Letter of Credit if it has received written notice that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time the Issuing Bank must elect to allow such extension; provided further in the event a Funding Default exists, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue any Letter of Credit unless the Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate the Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit of the Defaulting Lender, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Usage.

B. Notice of Issuance. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued upon notice, given not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the fifth Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Issuance of such Letter of Credit (or on such shorter notice as the Issuing Bank may agree), by the Borrower to the Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall give the Administrative Agent, prompt notice thereof. Each such Issuance Notice by the Borrower shall be by facsimile or telephone, confirmed immediately in writing, specifying therein the requested (A) date of such Issuance (which shall be a Business Day), (B) Available Amount of such Letter of Credit, (C) expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (D) name and address of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and (E) form of such Letter of Credit. Such Letter of Credit shall be issued pursuant to such application and agreement for letter of credit as the Issuing Bank and the Borrower shall agree for use in connection with such requested Letter of Credit (a “Letter of Credit Agreement”). If the requested form of such Letter of Credit is acceptable to the Issuing Bank in its reasonable discretion (it being understood that any such form shall have only explicit documentary conditions to draw and shall not include discretionary conditions), the Issuing Bank will, unless any Lender gives prior notice to the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent that the applicable conditions of Section 3.2 would not be satisfied at the time of such issuance, upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.2, make such Letter of Credit available to the Borrower at its office referred to in Section 9.8 or as otherwise agreed with the Borrower in connection with such Issuance. In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Letter of Credit Agreement shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

C. Responsibility of the Issuing Bank With Respect to Requests for Drawings and Payments. In determining whether to honor any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Bank shall be responsible only to examine the documents

delivered under such Letter of Credit with reasonable care so as to ascertain whether they appear on their face to be in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. As between the Borrower and the Issuing Bank, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, by the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank, including any Governmental Acts; none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the Issuing Bank’s rights or powers hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing and in furtherance thereof, any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not give rise to any liability on the part of the Issuing Bank to the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.2C, the Borrower shall retain any and all rights it may have against the Issuing Bank for any liability arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank.

D. Reimbursement by the Borrower of Amounts Drawn or Paid Under Letters of Credit. In the event the Issuing Bank has determined to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit, it shall immediately notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank on or before the Business Day immediately following the date on which such drawing is honored (the “Reimbursement Date”) in an amount in Dollars and in same day funds equal to the amount of such honored drawing; provided, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) unless the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date such drawing is honored that the Borrower intends to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of such honored drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have given a timely Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent requesting the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans on the Reimbursement Date in an amount in Dollars equal to the amount of such honored drawing, and (ii) subject to satisfaction or waiver of the applicable conditions specified in Section 3.2, the Lenders shall, on the Reimbursement Date, make Base Rate Loans in the amount of such honored drawing, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of such honored drawing; and provided further, if for any reason proceeds of Loans are not received by the Issuing Bank on the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the amount of such honored

drawing, the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank, on demand, in an amount in same day funds equal to the excess of the amount of such honored drawing over the aggregate amount of such Loans, if any, which are so received. Nothing in this Section 2.2D shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Loans on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and the Borrower shall retain any and all rights it may have against any Lender resulting from the failure of such Lender to make such Loans under this Section 2.2D.

E. Lenders’ Purchase of Participations in Letters of Credit. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender having a Commitment shall be deemed to have purchased, and hereby agrees to irrevocably purchase, from the Issuing Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit and any drawings honored thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (with respect to the Commitments) of the maximum amount which is or at any time may become available to be drawn thereunder. In the event that the Borrower shall fail for any reason to reimburse the Issuing Bank as provided in Section 2.2D, the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify each Lender of the unreimbursed amount of such honored drawing and of such Lender’s respective participation therein based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Commitments. Each Lender shall make available to the Issuing Bank an amount equal to its respective participation, in Dollars and in same day funds, at the office of the Issuing Bank specified in such notice, not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first Business Day (under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such office of the Issuing Bank is located) after the date notified by the Issuing Bank. In the event that any Lender fails to make available to the Issuing Bank on such Business Day the amount of such Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit as provided in this Section 2.2E, the Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for three Business Days at the rate customarily used by the Issuing Bank for the correction of errors among banks and thereafter at the Base Rate. Nothing in this Section 2.2E shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Lender to recover from the Issuing Bank any amounts made available by such Lender to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.2E in the event that it is determined that the payment with respect to a Letter of Credit in respect of which payment was made by such Lender constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank. In the event the Issuing Bank shall have been reimbursed by other Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.2E for all or any portion of any drawing honored by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under this Section 2.2E with respect to such honored drawing such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments subsequently received by the Issuing Bank from the Borrower in reimbursement of such honored drawing when such payments are received. Any such distribution shall be made to a Lender at its notice address set forth on the signature pages hereto or at such other address as such Lender may request.

F. Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Bank for drawings honored under the Letters of Credit issued by it and to repay any Loans made by Lenders pursuant to Section 2.2D and the obligations of Lenders under Section 2.2E shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof under all circumstances including any of the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit; (ii) the existence of any claim, set off, defense or other right which the Borrower or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting),

the Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other Person or, in the case of a Lender, against the Borrower, whether in connection herewith, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured); (iii) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iv) payment by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document which does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (v) the occurrence of any Material Adverse Effect; (vi) any breach hereof or any other Loan Document by any party thereto; (vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; or (viii) the fact that an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; provided, in each case, that payment by the Issuing Bank under the applicable Letter of Credit shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank under the circumstances in question.

G. Indemnification. Without duplication of any obligation of the Borrower under Section 9.2 or 9.3, in addition to amounts payable as provided therein, the Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Issuing Bank from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel and, without duplication, allocated costs of internal counsel) which the Issuing Bank may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit by the Issuing Bank, other than as a result of (1) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank or (2) the wrongful dishonor by the Issuing Bank of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit issued by it, or (ii) the failure of the Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under any such Letter of Credit as a result of any Governmental Act.

2.3 Pro Rata Shares; Availability of Funds; UCP.

A. Pro Rata Shares. All Loans shall be made, and all participations purchased, by the Lenders (or, if applicable, by their Affiliates) simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares (determined as of the date of such Loans or such purchases, as the case may be), it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its participation in each Letter of Credit will be automatically adjusted to reflect such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each Letter of Credit at each time such Lender’s Commitment is increased pursuant to Section 2.14, reduced pursuant to Section 2.7B, amended pursuant to an assignment in accordance with Section 9.1 or otherwise changed pursuant to this Agreement.

B. Availability of Funds. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the applicable Credit Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s Loan requested on such Credit Date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount

available to the Administrative Agent on such Credit Date and the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount on such Credit Date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the customary rate set by the Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the rate payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans. Nothing in this Section 2.3B shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

C. Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits. It is hereby agreed that, except as otherwise specified in any Letter of Credit, each commercial Letter of Credit shall be subject to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits and each standby Letter of Credit shall be subject to the International Standby Practices (ISP 98).

2.4 The Register; Evidence of Debt; Notes.

A. Register.

(i) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its Payment and Funding Office a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment and Loans of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The Register shall be available for inspection by the Credit Parties or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Administrative Agent shall record in the Register the Commitment and the Loans of each Lender, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of such Loans. Any such recordation shall be prima facie evidence of the amount owed to such Lender hereunder; provided that failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Commitment or the Obligations in respect of any Loan. The Credit Parties hereby designate Citibank to serve as the Credit Parties’ agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2.4, and the Credit Parties hereby agree that, to the extent Citibank serves in such capacity, Citibank and its officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates shall constitute “Indemnitees” hereunder.

(ii) The Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the corresponding Commitments and Loans listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any Commitment or Loan shall be effective, in each case unless and until an Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been accepted by the Administrative Agent and recorded in the Register as provided in Section 9.1C. Prior to such recordation, all amounts owed with respect to the applicable Commitment or Loan shall be owed

to the Lender listed in the Register as the owner thereof, and any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Commitments or Loans.

B. Lenders’ Evidence of Debt. Each Lender shall maintain on its internal records an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of each Credit Party to such Lender, including the amounts of the Loans made by it and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Credit Parties, absent manifest error; provided that the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Commitments or the Obligations of the Credit Parties in respect of any applicable Loans; and provided further, in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern.

C. Notes. If so requested by any Lender by written notice to any Credit Party (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), such Credit Party shall execute and deliver to such Lender, promptly after such Credit Party’s receipt of such notice, a Note or Notes to evidence such Lender’s Loans.

2.5 Interest on the Loans.

A. Rate of Interest; Type of Loan.

(i) Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.5E, 2.8 and 2.9, each Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through the Maturity Date (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate equal to (a) if a Base Rate Loan, the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or (b) if a LIBOR Rate Loan, the sum of LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin.

(ii) The basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Loan and the Interest Period with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan, shall be selected by the applicable Credit Party and notified to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be. If on any day a Loan is outstanding with respect to which a Notice of Borrowing or Conversion/Continuation Notice has not been delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then for that day such Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan.

(iii) With respect to Dollar-Denominated Loans or Alternative Currency Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, in the event the Borrower fails to specify Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans in the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Conversion/Continuation Notice, such Loans (if outstanding as a LIBOR Rate Loans) will be automatically converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loans (or if outstanding as Base Rate Loans will remain as, or (if not then outstanding) will be made as, Base Rate Loans). As soon as practicable after 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply

to the LIBOR Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the applicable Credit Party and each Lender.

B. Interest Periods. The applicable interest period (each an “Interest Period”) of each Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans shall be a one (1), two (2), three (3) or six (6) month period, as selected by the applicable Credit Party in the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Conversion/Continuation Notice, initially commencing on the date of the Loan or any Conversion/Continuation Date, as the case may be; provided that

(i) in the case of immediately successive Interest Periods applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans, each successive Interest Period shall commence on the day on which the immediately preceding Interest Period expires;

(ii) if an Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided that, if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the immediately preceding Business Day;

(iii) any Interest Period that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period) shall, subject to clause (iv) of this Section 2.5B, end on the last Business Day of a calendar month;

(iv) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Maturity Date;

(v) no more than ten (10) Interest Periods shall be outstanding at any time; and

(vi) if the applicable Credit Party fails to specify an Interest Period for any Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans in the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Conversion/Continuation Notice, such Credit Party shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one (1) month.

C. Interest Payments. On each Interest Payment Date for a Borrowing, the applicable Credit Party shall pay an amount equal to the aggregate amount of interest that has accrued on such Borrowing since the Effective Date or the last Interest Payment Date for such Borrowing, as applicable. In addition, interest on each Loan shall be payable upon any prepayment of such Loan (to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid) and at maturity.

D. Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, (i) the Credit Parties shall no longer have the option to request LIBOR Rate Loans, (ii) each LIBOR Rate Loan denominated in Dollars shall convert to a Base Rate Loan at the end of the Interest Period then in effect for such LIBOR Rate Loan, (iii) upon request of the Requisite Lenders, the outstanding principal amounts of all LIBOR Rate Loans shall bear interest (including post-petition interest in any case or proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code) at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) plus the rate then applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans until the

end of the applicable Interest Period and thereafter at a rate equal to two percent (2%) plus the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans, and (iv) upon request of the Requisite Lenders, all outstanding Base Rate Loans and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, other Obligations arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall bear interest (including post-petition interest in any case or proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code) at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) plus the rate then applicable to such Base Rate Loans or such other Obligations arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.5D is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Agents or Lenders.

E. Computation of Interest.

(i) Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.5A shall be computed (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans on the basis of a 365 day or 366 day year, as the case may be, and (ii) in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, on the basis of a 360 day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted from a LIBOR Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such LIBOR Rate Loan to such Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a LIBOR Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such LIBOR Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided, if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan.

(ii) For purposes of disclosure pursuant to the Interest Act (Canada), R.S. 1985, c I-15, the annual rates of interest or fees to which the rates of interest or fees provided in this Agreement and each Note (and stated herein or therein as applicable to be computed on the basis of a 365-day year or any other period of time less than a calendar year) are equivalent, and are the rates so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the applicable calendar year and divided by 365 or such other period of time.

F. Conversion/Continuation.

(i) Subject to Section 2.9 and so long as no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, each Credit Party shall have the option:

(a) to convert at any time all or any part of any Borrowing of Dollar-Denominated Loans in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000 from one Type of Loan to another Type of Loan; provided if any LIBOR Rate Loan is converted on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, the applicable Credit Party shall pay all amounts due under Section 2.8 in connection with such conversion; or

(b) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any Borrowing LIBOR Rate Loans, to continue all or any portion of such Loans in a minimum

amount of $5,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of 1,000,000 units of the Applicable Currency as LIBOR Rate Loans.

(ii) The applicable Credit Party shall deliver a Conversion/Continuation Notice to the Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed conversion date (in the case of a conversion to Base Rate Loans) and at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed Conversion/Continuation Date (in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, LIBOR Rate Loans). Except as otherwise provided herein, a Conversion/Continuation Notice for conversion to, or continuation of, LIBOR Rate Loans (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and the applicable Credit Party shall be bound to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance therewith.

G. Letter of Credit Drawings. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuing Bank, with respect to drawings honored under any Letter of Credit, interest on the amount paid by the Issuing Bank in respect of each such honored drawing from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date such amount is reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower at a rate equal to (i) for the period from the date such drawing is honored to, but excluding, the applicable Reimbursement Date, the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, and (ii) thereafter, the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin plus 2%.

H. Computation of Interest on Reimbursement Obligations. Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.5G shall be computed on the basis of a 365/366 day year for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues, and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand is made, on the date on which the related drawing under a Letter of Credit is reimbursed in full. Promptly upon receipt by the Issuing Bank of any payment of interest pursuant to Section 2.5G, the Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender, out of the interest received by the Issuing Bank in respect of the period from the date such drawing is honored to, but excluding, the date on which the Issuing Bank is reimbursed for the amount of such drawing (including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of any Loans), the amount that such Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the letter of credit fee that would have been payable in respect of such Letter of Credit for such period if no drawing had been honored under such Letter of Credit. In the event the Issuing Bank shall have been reimbursed by the Lenders for all or any portion of such honored drawing, the Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under Section 2.2E with respect to such honored drawing such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any interest received by the Issuing Bank in respect of that portion of such honored drawing so reimbursed by the Lenders for the period from the date on which the Issuing Bank was so reimbursed by the Lenders to but excluding the date on which such portion of such honored drawing is reimbursed by the Borrower.

I. Additional Interest on LIBOR Rate Loans. Each Credit Party shall pay to each Lender, so long as and to the extent such Lender shall be required under regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including “Eurocurrency liabilities” (as such term is defined in Regulation D), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Rate Loan of such Lender, from the date of such Loan until such principal amount is paid in full, at an interest rate per annum equal at all times to the remainder obtained by subtracting (a) the LIBOR rate for the

applicable Interest Period for such Loan from (b) the rate obtained by dividing such LIBOR rate by a percentage equal to 100% minus the Applicable Reserve Requirement (expressed as a percentage) of such Lender for such Interest Period, payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan. Such Lender shall as soon as practicable provide notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of any such additional interest arising in connection with such Loan, which notice shall be conclusive and binding, absent demonstrable error.

2.6 Fees.

All fees referred to in this Section 2.6 shall be paid to the Administrative Agent at its Funding and Payment Office and upon receipt, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof.

(i) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender having Credit Exposure the fees listed below.

(a) Facility Fee: From the Effective Date until the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall pay a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) to each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender for such time as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender solely in respect of its unused Commitment), ratably in accordance with such Lender’s then current Commitment, determined by reference to the pricing grid set forth in the definition of Applicable Margin. The Facility Fee shall be paid quarterly in arrears and on the Maturity Date;

(b) Letter of Credit Fee: From the Effective Date until the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall pay letter of credit fees to each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender for such time as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, but subject to Section 2.11B(iv)), ratably in accordance with its then current Commitment, equal to (1) the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Rate Loans, times (2) the average aggregate daily maximum amount available to be drawn under all Letters of Credit (regardless of whether any conditions for drawing could then be met and determined as of the close of business on any date of determination).

(ii) The Borrower agrees to pay directly to the Issuing Bank, for its own account, the following fees:

(a) a fronting fee equal to 0.25% per annum (or such other rate as may be agreed to by the Borrower and the Issuing Bank), times the average aggregate daily maximum amount available to be drawn under all Letters of Credit (determined as of the close of business on any date of determination); and

(b) such documentary and processing charges for any issuance, amendment, transfer or payment of a Letter of Credit as are in accordance with the Issuing Bank’s standard schedule for such charges and as in effect at the time of such issuance, amendment, transfer or payment, as the case may be.

(iii) All fees referred to in Section 2.6(i) and 2.6(ii)(a) shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and the actual number of days elapsed and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year during the

Commitment Period, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date, and on the Maturity Date.

(iv) In addition to any of the foregoing fees, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Lead Arrangers and the Agents such other fees in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon in the Fee Letter.

2.7 Provisions Regarding Payments.

A. Voluntary Prepayments.

(i) Any time and from time to time:

(a) the Borrower may prepay any Base Rate Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part, in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000; provided, that if Loans are made pursuant to Section 2.2D, then during the thirty (30) days after the making of such Loans, the Borrower may make one prepayment of Base Rate Loans in any amount so long as after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of all Base Rate Loans is an integral multiple of $1,000,000; and

(b) the Borrower may prepay any Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part in an aggregate principal Dollar Amount of $5,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of 1,000,000 units of the Applicable Currency.

(ii) All prepayments shall be made upon prior written or telephonic notice received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time):

(a) In the case of Base Rate Loans, on the date of such prepayment; and

(b) In the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, two (2) Business Days’ prior to the date of such prepayment;

and, if such notice is given by telephone, such notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent will promptly transmit such telephonic or original notice for the Loans by facsimile or telephone to each Lender). Upon the giving of any such notice, the principal amount of the Loans specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified therein.

B. Voluntary Commitment Reductions.

(i) The Credit Parties may, upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice confirmed in writing to the Administrative Agent (which original written or telephonic notice the Administrative Agent will promptly transmit by facsimile or telephone to each applicable Lender), at any time and from time to time terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part, without premium or penalty, the Commitments in an amount up to the amount by which the Commitments exceed the Total Utilization of Commitments at the time

of such proposed termination or reduction; provided any such partial reduction of the Commitments shall be in the amount of $5,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000.

(ii) The Credit Parties’ notice to the Administrative Agent shall designate the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such termination or reduction and the amount of any partial reduction, and such termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be effective on the date specified in the Borrower’s notice and shall reduce the Commitment of each Lender proportionately to its Pro Rata Share thereof.

C. Mandatory Prepayments. Subject to Section 2.10B, the Credit Parties shall from time to time prepay the Loans to the extent necessary so that the Total Utilization of Commitments shall not at any time exceed the Commitments then in effect.

D. Application of Prepayments/Reductions. Unless otherwise specified by the applicable Credit Party in a notice of prepayment,

(a) any amount to be applied pursuant to Section 2.7A or C shall be applied as follows:

first, to prepay outstanding reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit;

second, to prepay Loans to the full extent thereof; and

third, to cash collateralize Letters of Credit; and

(b) considering each Type of Loan being prepaid separately, any prepayment thereof shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to LIBOR Rate Loans, in each case in a manner which minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Credit Parties pursuant to Section 2.9C.

E. General Provisions Regarding Payments.

(i) Manner and Time of Payment. All payments by the Credit Parties of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made in Dollars or, with respect to Alternative Currency Loans, in the relevant Alternative Currency in same day funds, without defense, set-off or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date due at the Funding and Payment Office for the account of the Lenders; funds received by the Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by the applicable Credit Party on the next succeeding Business Day.

(ii) Payments on Business Days. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.5B with respect to Interest Periods, whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder.

(iii) Application of Payments to Principal and Interest. All payments in respect of the principal amount of the Loans shall include payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid, and all such payments shall be applied to the payment of interest before application to principal.

(iv) Distribution to Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such address as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder, together with all other amounts due thereto, including all fees payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by Administrative Agent.

(v) Withdrawal of Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions hereof, if any Conversion/Continuation Notice is withdrawn as to any Affected Lender or if any Affected Lender makes Base Rate Loans in lieu of its Pro Rata Share of any LIBOR Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent shall give effect thereto in apportioning payments received thereafter.

(vi) Authorization to Charge Accounts. Each Credit Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to charge such Credit Party’s accounts with the Administrative Agent in order to cause timely payment to be made to the Administrative Agent of all principal, interest, fees and expenses due hereunder (subject to sufficient funds being available in its accounts for that purpose).

(vii) Non-Conforming Payments. The Administrative Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf of any Credit Party hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) to be a non-conforming payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds, and (ii) the applicable next Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic notice to the applicable Credit Party and each applicable Lender (confirmed in writing) if any payment is non-conforming. Any non-conforming payment may constitute or become a Potential Event of Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 8.1. Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the rate determined pursuant to Section 2.5D from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full.

2.8 Increased Costs; Taxes.

A. Compensation for Increased Costs and Taxes. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.8B (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Lender shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order), or any determination of a court or Governmental Authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or

directive issued or made after the date hereof by any central bank or other governmental or quasi-governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law):

(i) subjects such Lender (or its applicable lending office) to any additional Tax (other than any Tax on the overall net income of such Lender) with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such Lender (or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder;

(ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender (other than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans that are reflected in the definition of LIBOR); or

(iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder or the London interbank market;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, the Credit Parties shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Such Lender shall deliver to the Credit Parties (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for, and a calculation in reasonable detail of, the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.8A, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

B. Withholding of Taxes.

(i) Payments to Be Free and Clear. All sums payable by any Credit Party under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall (except to the extent required by law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax (other than a Tax on the overall net income of any Lender) imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or within the United States of America or any political subdivision in or of the United States of America or any other jurisdiction from or to which a payment is made by or on behalf of any Credit Party or by any federation or organization of which the United States of America or any such jurisdiction is a member at the time of payment.

(ii) Grossing-up of Payments. If any Credit Party or any other Person is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any such Tax from any sum

paid or payable by such Credit Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents:

(a) such Credit Party shall notify the Administrative Agent of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as such Credit Party becomes aware of it;

(b) such Credit Party shall pay any such Tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on such Credit Party) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be) on behalf of and in the name of the Administrative Agent or such Lender;

(c) the sum payable by such Credit Party in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date and retains a net sum equal to what it would have received and retained had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made; and

(d) within thirty (30) days after paying any sum from which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, and within thirty (30) days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required by clause (b) above to pay, such Credit Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to the other affected parties of such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority.

(iii) Evidence of Exemption from U.S. Withholding Tax.

(a) Each Lender that is not a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “Non-US Lender”) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent for transmission to the Credit Parties, on or prior to the Effective Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Effective Date) or on or prior to the date of the Assumption Agreement or Assignment Agreement, as applicable, pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of the Credit Parties or Administrative Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (x) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code or reasonably requested by the Credit Parties to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of the Loan Documents.

(b) Each Lender required to deliver any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters pursuant to Section 2.8B(iii)(a) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of

such forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall promptly (1) deliver to Administrative Agent for transmission to the Borrower two new original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or a Certificate re Non-Bank Status and two (2) original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor form), as the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by the Credit Parties to confirm or establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents or (2) notify Administrative Agent and the Borrower of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence.

(c) The Credit Parties shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Non-US Lender under clause (c) of Section 2.8B(ii) if such Lender shall have failed to satisfy the requirements of clause (a) or (b)(1) of this Section 2.8B(iii); provided that if such Lender shall have satisfied the requirements of Section 2.8B(iii)(a) on the Effective Date or on the date of the Assumption Agreement or Assignment Agreement, as applicable, pursuant to which it became a Lender, as applicable, nothing in this Section 2.8B(iii)(c) shall relieve the Credit Parties of its obligation to pay any additional amounts pursuant to clause (c) of Section 2.8B(ii) in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender is not subject to withholding as described herein.

(iv) If a payment is made by a Credit Party under the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.8(B) for the account of any Lender and such Lender, in its sole opinion, determines that it has irrevocably received or been granted a credit against, or relief or remission from, or repayment or refund of, any tax paid or payable by it in respect of or calculated with reference to the deduction or withholding giving rise to such additional payment, such Lender shall, to the extent that it determines that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such credit, relief, remission or repayment, pay to such Credit Party such amount as such Lender shall, in its sole opinion, have determined is attributable to such deduction or withholding and will leave such Lender (after such payment) in no worse position than it would have been had such Credit Party not been required to make such deduction or withholding. Nothing contained herein shall (i) interfere with the right of a Lender to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit, (ii) oblige any Lender to disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or (iii) require any Lender to take or refrain from taking any action that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other credit, relief, remission, repayment or refund to which it may be entitled.

(v) Evidence of Exemption from Applicable Withholding Tax. Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax imposed by the jurisdiction in which a Subsidiary Borrower is organized (the “Relevant Jurisdiction”) with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the relevant Subsidiary Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) within 15 Business Days following receipt of the written notice referred to below, such properly completed and executed documentation as is reasonably

requested by such Subsidiary Borrower or the Administrative Agent in order to permit such payments to be made with the benefit of such exemption or reduction (and shall make application to the relevant Governmental Authority for exemption or reduced rates if it is the party required by law to do so), provided that such Lender has received written notice from such Subsidiary Borrower or the Administrative Agent identifying the requirements for such exemption or reduction, supplying all applicable documentation and specifying the time period within which documentation is to be provided under this Section 2.8B(v) (or such application is to be made). Without limiting the Lenders’ obligations under the preceding sentence, each Lender agrees that it will, without material cost or other material disadvantage (as determined in such Lender’s good faith judgment), cooperate with such Subsidiary Borrower to minimize the applicable withholding tax burdens in the Relevant Jurisdiction. If any Lender becomes subject to any Tax because it fails to comply with this Section 2.8B(v), each Subsidiary Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Tax. The Administrative Agent agrees that it will provide administrative and ministerial assistance to each relevant Subsidiary Borrower with respect to any payments made by such Subsidiary Borrower to the Lenders, and the calculation, reporting, withholding and remitting of any Taxes imposed by Canada or Ireland to the appropriate Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the Subsidiary Borrowers shall retain primary responsibility for ascertaining the requirements of Applicable Law and providing to the Lenders the written notice described in the first sentence of this Section 2.8B(v), and (b) no failure by the Administrative Agent to meet any obligations under this Section 2.8B(v) shall operate to excuse any Subsidiary Borrower from its obligations to the Lenders under this Section 2.8B(v).

C. Capital Adequacy Adjustment. In the event that any Lender shall have determined that the adoption, effectiveness, phase-in or applicability after the Effective Date of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein after the Effective Date or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) with any guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency issued after the Effective Date, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s Loans or Commitment, or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase-in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy), then from time to time, the Credit Parties shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling corporation on an after-tax basis for such reduction. Such Lender shall deliver to the Credit Parties (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for, and calculation in reasonable detail of, the additional amounts owed to the Lender under this Section 2.8C, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

2.9 Special Provisions Governing LIBOR Rate Loans.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the following provisions shall govern with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans as to the matters covered:

A. Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans, that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank LIBOR market adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBOR Rate, the Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice (by facsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Credit Parties and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (i) no Loans may be made as, or converted to, LIBOR Rate Loans until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Credit Parties and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and (ii) any Notice of Borrowing or Conversion/Continuation Notice given by any Credit Party with respect to the Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by such Credit Party.

B. Illegality or Impracticability of LIBOR Rate Loans. In the event that on any date any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with Credit Parties and the Administrative Agent) that the making, maintaining or continuation of its LIBOR Rate Loans in Dollars or any Alternative Currency (i) has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful) or (ii) has become impracticable, or would cause such Lender material hardship, as a result of contingencies occurring after the date of this Agreement which materially and adversely affect the interbank LIBOR market or the position of such Lender in that market, then, and in any such event, such Lender shall be an “Affected Lender” and it shall on that day give notice (by facsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Credit Parties and the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Thereafter (a) (i) if such LIBOR Rate Loan is denominated in Dollars, it shall be Converted into a Base Rate Loan and (ii) if such LIBOR Rate Loan is denominated in any Alternative Currency, it shall be exchanged into an Equivalent amount of Dollars and be Converted into a Base Rate Loan and (b) the obligation of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans in the affected currency or to Convert Loans into LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

C. Compensation For Breakage. The Credit Parties shall compensate each Lender upon written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts and a calculation thereof in reasonable detail) for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by such Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its LIBOR Rate Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds, but excluding lost profits)

which that Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a LIBOR Rate Loan is not made on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a telephonic request for borrowing, or a conversion to or continuation of any LIBOR Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Conversion/Continuation Notice or a telephonic request for conversion or continuation, (ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment of, or any conversion of, any of its LIBOR Rate Loans occurs on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan or (iii) if any prepayment of any LIBOR Rate Loan made by such Lender is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower.

D. Booking of LIBOR Rate Loans. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer LIBOR Rate Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of that Lender.

E. Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Rate Loans. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 2.9 and under Section 2.8A shall be made as though that Lender had actually funded each of its relevant LIBOR Rate Loans through the purchase of a LIBOR deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to the definition of LIBOR in an amount equal to the amount of such LIBOR Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of such LIBOR deposit from an offshore office of that Lender to a domestic office of that Lender in the United States of America; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 2.9 and under Section 2.8A and 2.8C.

2.10 Matters Relating to Currency Exchange Rates and Conversion of Amounts to Alternative Currencies.

A. Spot Rate Calculation. The Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Amount of each Alternative Currency Loan as of (x) the first day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and (y) the last Business Day of each calendar month, and such calculation shall remain in effect for purposes of this Agreement until the next date on which an event described in this Section 2.10A occurs and a recalculation is made. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Credit Party and the Lenders of each Dollar Amount so determined by it. Each such determination shall be based on the Spot Rate (x) on the date of the related Notice of Borrowing for purposes of the initial such determination for any Alternative Currency Loan and (y) on the fourth Business Day prior to the date as of which such Dollar Amount is to be determined, for purposes of any subsequent determination.

B. Prepayment. If after giving effect to any such determination of a Dollar Amount, the Total Utilization of Commitments exceeds 105% of the Commitments or the aggregate Dollar Amount of Alternative Currency Loans exceeds 105% of the Alternative Currency Sublimit, the Credit Parties shall, within five Business Days of receipt of notice thereof from the Administrative Agent setting forth such calculation in reasonable detail, prepay outstanding Loans (as selected by the Credit Parties and notified to the Lenders through the Administrative Agent not less than three Business Days prior to the date of prepayment) or take other action (including, in the Credit Parties’ discretion, Dollar cash collateralization of Letters

of Credit pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in amounts from time to time equal to such excess) to the extent necessary to eliminate any such excess.

C. Conversion of Amounts to Applicable Currencies. To the extent funds received by the Administrative Agent (or debited from any Person’s account with the Administrative Agent) must be converted into Dollars or an Alternative Currency for any payment required hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall effect such conversion on the applicable payment date on the basis of the Spot Rate then in effect.

2.11 Defaulting Lenders.

A. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any Lender defaults (a “Defaulting Lender”) in its obligation to fund (a “Funding Default”) any Loan or its portion of any unreimbursed payment under Section 2.2D (in each case, a “Defaulted Loan”) within three Business Days of the date required to be funded, then (a) to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, until such time as the Default Excess with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to zero, (i) any voluntary prepayment of the Loans shall, if the applicable Credit Party so directs at the time of making such voluntary prepayment, be applied to the Loans of other Lenders as if such Defaulting Lender had no Loans outstanding and the Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender were zero, and (ii) any mandatory prepayment of the Loans shall, if the applicable Credit Party so directs at the time of making such mandatory prepayment, be applied to the Loans of other Lenders (but not to the Loans of such Defaulting Lender) as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Loans of such Defaulting Lender; and (b) the Total Utilization of Commitments as at any date of determination shall be calculated as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Loans of such Defaulting Lender.

B. If any Letters of Credit are outstanding at the time a Lender becomes a Potential Defaulting Lender, then:

(i) all or any part of the Available Amount of outstanding Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among the Lenders that are not Potential Defaulting Lenders (“non-Defaulting Lenders”) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (disregarding any Potential Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount of all Loans made by such non-Defaulting Lenders (in their capacity as Lenders) and outstanding at such time, plus (B) such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Shares (before giving effect to the reallocation contemplated herein) of the Available Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, plus (C) the aggregate principal amount of all Loans made by each Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.2E that have not been ratably funded by such non-Defaulting Lenders and outstanding at such time, plus (D) such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Available Amount of such Letters of Credit, does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 3.2C and 3.2D are satisfied at such time;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the

Administrative Agent, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Available Amount of such Letters of Credit (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) by paying cash collateral to the Issuing Bank for so long as such Letters of Credit are outstanding;

(iii) if the Pro Rata Shares of Letters of Credit of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.11B, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.6(i)(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Shares of Letters of Credit; or

(iv) if any Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Letters of Credit is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to Section 2.11B, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.6(i)(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Letters of Credit shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Letters of Credit is cash collateralized and/or reallocated; and

C. So long as any Lender is a Potential Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.11B, and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.11B(i) (and Potential Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).

D. No Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.11, performance by the Credit Parties of their Obligations shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of any Funding Default or the operation of this Section 2.11. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.11 are in addition to other rights and remedies which the Credit Parties may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default and which the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default.

2.12 Removal or Replacement of a Lender.

Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any Lender shall give notice to the Credit Parties that such Lender is an Affected Lender or that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Section 2.8 or 2.9, if the circumstances which have caused such Lender to be an Affected Lender or which entitle such Lender to receive such payments shall remain in effect, and such Lender shall fail to withdraw such notice within five (5) Business Days after receipt by such Lender of a written request for such withdrawal from a Credit Party, or such Lender is a Potential Defaulting Lender, then, with respect to each such Lender (the “Terminated Lender”), the Credit Parties may, by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent and any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its Commitment and outstanding Loans in full to one or more Eligible Assignees (each a “Replacement Lender”) in

accordance with the provisions of Section 9.1 for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loans assigned and accrued interest thereon and accrued and theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Terminated Lender under Section 2.6 through the date of assignment, to be paid by the Replacement Lender; provided that concurrently with such assignment, the Credit Parties shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender to the date of such assignment pursuant to Sections 2.8 or 2.9 or otherwise as if it were a prepayment. Upon the completion of such assignment and the prepayment without giving effect to Section 2.11A of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided that any rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Lender.

2.13 Mitigation.

A. Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering the Loans of such Lender becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under Section 2.8 or 2.9, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts (i) to make, issue, fund or maintain the Commitment of such Lender or the affected Loans of such Lender through another lending office of such Lender, or (ii) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.8 or 2.9 would be materially reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Commitment or Loans through such other lending office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Commitment or Loans or the interests of such Lender; provided that such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other lending office pursuant to this Section 2.13 unless the Credit Parties agree to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other lending office as described in clause (i) above. A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by the Credit Parties pursuant to this Section 2.13 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount and a calculation thereof in reasonable detail) submitted by such Lender to the Credit Parties (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

B. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.8, if any Lender fails to notify the Borrower of any event or circumstance which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to Section 2.8 within 365 days after such Lender obtains knowledge of such event or circumstance, then such Lender shall not be entitled to compensation from the Borrower for any amount arising prior to the date which is 365 days before the date on which such Lender notifies the Borrower of such event or circumstance.

2.14 Increase in the Aggregate Commitments.

A. The Borrower may, at any time but in any event not more than twice in any calendar year prior to the Maturity Date (unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents), by notice to the Administrative Agent, request that the aggregate amount of the Commitments be

increased by (i) increasing the amount of the Commitment of any Lender which has agreed to such increase (any such Lender, an “Increasing Lender”) and/or (ii) adding one or more Eligible Assignees as parties hereto with Commitments in an amount agreed to by such respective Eligible Assignees; provided that (a) the aggregate amount of any such increase (for all Increasing Lenders and Eligible Assignees on any particular day) shall be $25,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $5,000,000, (b) the amount of the Commitment of any Eligible Assignee that is not already a Lender shall be not less than $5,000,000, (c) any such increase shall be effective as of a date that is at least 90 days prior to the Maturity Date (the “Increase Date”) as specified in the related notice to the Administrative Agent; (d) in no event shall the aggregate amount of increases in the Commitments pursuant to this Section exceed $125,000,000 and (iv) on the date of any request by the Borrower for a Commitment Increase and on the related Increase Date, the conditions set forth in Section 3.3 shall be satisfied.

B. On each Increase Date, each Eligible Assignee that has agreed to participate in the applicable Commitment Increase (each such Eligible Assignee, an “Assuming Lender”) shall become a Lender party to this Agreement as of such Increase Date and the Commitment of each Increasing Lender shall be increased by the amount agreed upon by such Lender and the Borrower; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall have received on or before such Increase Date the following, each dated such date:

(i) (A) certified copies of resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Borrower or the Executive Committee of such Board approving the Commitment Increase and the corresponding modifications to this Agreement and (B) an opinion of counsel for the Borrower (which may be in-house counsel), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel;

(ii) an assumption agreement from each Assuming Lender, if any, in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (each an “Assumption Agreement”), duly executed by such Assuming Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower; and

(iii) confirmation from each Increasing Lender of the increase in the amount of its Commitment in a writing satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

On each Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders (including each Assuming Lender) and the Borrower, on or before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time), by facsimile, of the occurrence of the Commitment Increase to be effected on such Increase Date and shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Increasing Lender and each Assuming Lender on such date. Each Increasing Lender and each Assuming Lender shall, before 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the Increase Date, make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding and Payment Office, in same day funds, in the case of such Assuming Lender, an amount equal to such Assuming Lender’s ratable portion of the Loans then outstanding (calculated based on its Commitment as a percentage of the aggregate Commitments outstanding after giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase) and, in the case of such Increasing Lender, an amount equal to the excess of (i) such Increasing Lender’s ratable portion of the Loans then outstanding (calculated based on its Commitment as a percentage of the aggregate Commitments outstanding

after giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase) over (ii) such Increasing Lender’s ratable portion of the Loans then outstanding (calculated based on its Commitment (without giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase) as a percentage of the aggregate Commitments (without giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase). After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds from each such Increasing Lender and each such Assuming Lender, the Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds to the other Lenders in an amount to each other Lender such that the aggregate amount of the outstanding Loans owing to each Lender after giving effect to such distribution equals such Lender’s ratable portion of the aggregate Loans then outstanding (calculated based on its Commitment as a percentage of the aggregate Commitments outstanding after giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase).

4.1 Organization, Powers, Qualification, Good Standing, Business and Subsidiaries.

A. Organization and Powers. Such Credit Party and each of its Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing, as applicable, under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, except, in the case of any Subsidiary that is not a Credit Party, where the failure to be so organized, existing or in good standing has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Such Credit Party and each of its Subsidiaries has all requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties, to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted, to enter into the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to carry out the transactions contemplated thereby.

B. Qualification and Good Standing. Such Credit Party and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business and in good standing, as applicable, in every jurisdiction in which its assets are located and wherever necessary to carry out its business and

4.2 Authorization of Borrowing, etc.

A. Authorization of Borrowing, etc. The execution, delivery and performance of each Loan Document to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of each Credit Party.

B. No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance by such Credit Party of each Loan Document to which it is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by each such Loan Document do not and will not (i) violate any provision of any Applicable Law with respect to such Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, any of the Organizational Documents of such Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority binding on such Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, except to the extent such violation would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any Contractual Obligation of such Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, except to the extent such conflict, breach or default would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of such Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) require any approval of stockholders, partners or members or any approval or consent of any Person under any Contractual Obligation of such Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, except for such approvals or consents which will be obtained on or before the Effective Date and disclosed in writing to Administrative Agent.

4.3 Disclosure.

No representation or warranty of such Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries contained in any Loan Document or in any other document, certificate or written statement furnished to any Agent or any Lender by or on behalf of such Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact (known to such Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries in the case of any document not furnished by any of them) necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in

which the same were made. Any projections and pro forma financial information contained in such materials are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by the applicable Credit Party to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Agents and the Lenders that such projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ from the projected results.

4.4 Financial Condition.

The Borrower has heretofore delivered to the Administrative Agent the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2008 and the related audited consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows of the Borrower for the Fiscal Year then ended, together with all related notes and schedules thereto and the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at June 30, 2009 and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows of the Borrower for the six months then ended. All such statements were prepared in conformity with GAAP and fairly present, in all material respects, the financial position of the entities described in such financial statements as at the respective dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows of the entities described therein for each of the periods then ended, subject, in the case of any such unaudited financial statements, to changes resulting from audit and normal year-end adjustments. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has any contingent liability or liability for taxes, long-term lease or unusual forward or long-term commitment that is not reflected in the foregoing financial statements or the notes thereto and which in any such case could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.5 No Material Adverse Change.

Since December 31, 2008, no event or change has occurred that has caused or evidences, or could reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

4.6 Intellectual Property Matters.

Except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries owns or possesses rights to use all franchises, licenses, copyright registrations, copyright applications, issued patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, trademark registrations, trademark rights, service marks, service xxxx applications, service xxxx rights, trade names, trade name rights, copyrights and rights with respect to the foregoing which are required to conduct its business. Except for the Disclosed Litigation, (a) no event has occurred which permits, or after notice or lapse of time or both would permit, the revocation or termination of any such rights (except for the expiration of patents in the ordinary course) and (b) neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary thereof is liable to any Person for infringement under Applicable Law with respect to any such rights as a result of its business operations, other than any such revocation, termination or infringement that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.7 No Litigation; Compliance with Laws.

Except for the Disclosed Litigation, there are no actions, suits, proceedings (whether administrative, judicial or otherwise), litigations, arbitrations or governmental investigations (whether or not purportedly on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries) at law or in equity, or before or by any Governmental Authority, domestic or foreign (including any Environmental Claims), that are pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) is in violation of any Applicable Laws (including, but not limited to, Environmental Laws) that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) is subject to or in default with respect to any final judgments, writs, injunctions, decrees, rules or regulations of any Governmental Authority, domestic or foreign, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

4.8 No Default.

Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any of its Contractual Obligations, and no condition exists that, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default, except where the consequences, direct or indirect, of such default or defaults, if any, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.9 Governmental Regulation.

Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to regulation under any federal or state statute or regulation which may limit its ability to incur Indebtedness or which may otherwise render all or any portion of the Obligations unenforceable. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a “registered investment company” or a company “controlled” by a “registered investment company” or a “principal underwriter” of a “registered investment company” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

4.10 Securities Activities.

Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock in violation of the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Following the application of the proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit, no more than 25% of the value of the consolidated assets of the Borrower will consist of or be represented by Margin Stock.

4.11 Employee Benefit Plans.

A. The Borrower and its ERISA Affiliates are in material compliance with all applicable provisions and requirements of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan, and have performed all their obligations under each Employee Benefit Plan in all material respects.

B. No material liability to the PBGC (other than required premium payments) or the Internal Revenue Service has been or is expected to be incurred by the Borrower or any of its ERISA Affiliates with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan, and no ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur, other than ERISA Events for which the liability has been satisfied in full or is immaterial in amount.

C. As of the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan for which the actuarial report is available, the potential liability of the Borrower or any of its ERISA Affiliates for a complete withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of Section 4203 of ERISA), when aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, based on information available pursuant to Section 4221(e) of ERISA is not expected to be material. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries and each of their ERISA Affiliates have complied in all material respects with the requirements of Section 515 of ERISA with respect to each Multiemployer Plan and are not in material “default” (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA) with respect to payments to a Multiemployer Plan.

B. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any letter or request for information under Section 104 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. § 9604) or any comparable state law, except to the extent that such letter or request could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

C. There are and, to the Borrower’s and each of its Subsidiaries’ knowledge, have been no conditions, occurrences, or Hazardous Materials Activities which could reasonably be expected to form the basis of an Environmental Claim against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

D. Compliance with all current or reasonably foreseeable future requirements pursuant to or under Environmental Laws could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to give rise to a Material Adverse Effect.

E. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to the knowledge of the Borrower, any predecessor of the Borrower or any Subsidiary of such predecessor, has filed any notice under any Environmental Law indicating past or present treatment of Hazardous Materials at any Facility, and none of the Borrower’s nor any of its Subsidiaries’ operations involves the generation, transportation, treatment, storage or disposal of hazardous waste, as defined under 40 C.F.R. Parts 260 270 or any state equivalent, except to the extent that any of the foregoing could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

F. No event or condition has occurred or is occurring with respect to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to any Environmental Law, any Release of Hazardous Materials, or any Hazardous Materials Activity which individually or in the aggregate has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 7. GUARANTY

The Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Beneficiaries the due and punctual payment in full of all Obligations of the Subsidiary Borrowers when the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)) (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

7.2 Payment by the Borrower.

The Guarantor hereby agrees, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Beneficiary may have at law or in equity against the Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of any Subsidiary Borrower to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)), the Guarantor will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in Cash, to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Beneficiaries, an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including interest which, but for such Subsidiary Borrower becoming the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against such Credit Party for such interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to the Beneficiaries as aforesaid.

7.3 Liability of Guarantor Absolute.

The Guarantor agrees that its Obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the Guarantor agrees as follows:

(a) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectability. This Guaranty is a primary obligation of the Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety;

(b) the Administrative Agent may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between any Credit Party and any Beneficiary with respect to the existence of such Event of Default;

(c) the Obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are independent of the Obligations of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Borrowers and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor), and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against the Borrower or any Subsidiary Borrower or any of such other guarantors and whether or not the Borrower or any Subsidiary Borrower is joined in any such action or actions;

(d) payment by the Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge the Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which has not been paid. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce the Guarantor’s covenant to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release the Guarantor from its covenant to pay the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that is not the subject of such suit;

(e) any Beneficiary, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of the Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Beneficiary in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Beneficiary may have against any such security, in each case as such Beneficiary in its discretion may determine consistent herewith and any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the Guarantor against any Subsidiary Borrower or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Loan Documents; and

(f) this Guaranty and the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not the Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Loan Documents, at law, in equity or

otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to events of default) hereof, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Loan Document or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security; (iii) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Loan Documents or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for Indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of Indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though any Beneficiary might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any Beneficiary’s consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) any defenses, set offs or counterclaims which any Credit Party may allege or assert against any Beneficiary in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (viii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

7.4 Waivers by Guarantor.

The Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of Beneficiaries: (a) any right to require any Beneficiary, as a condition of payment or performance by the Guarantor, to (i) proceed against the Borrower or the Subsidiary Borrowers, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Borrower or any Subsidiary Borrower, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any Deposit Account or credit on the books of any Beneficiary in favor of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Borrower or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Beneficiary whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Borrower including any defense based on or arising out of the illegality, lack of validity or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Borrower from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Beneficiary’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to bad faith; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof,

(iii) any rights to set offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to any Subsidiary Borrower and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 7.2 and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof.

7.5 Guarantor’s Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, etc.

Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, the Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that the Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any Subsidiary Borrower or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by the Guarantor of its Obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that the Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any Subsidiary Borrower with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have against any Subsidiary Borrower, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Beneficiary. In addition, until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, the Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution the Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification the Guarantor may have against any Subsidiary Borrower or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution the Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any Beneficiary may have against any Subsidiary Borrower, to all right, title and interest any Beneficiary may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Beneficiary may have against such other guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been finally and indefeasibly paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.

7.6 Subordination of Other Obligations.

Any Indebtedness of any Subsidiary Borrower now or hereafter held by the Guarantor is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and any such Indebtedness collected or received by the Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Guarantor under any other provision hereof.

7.7 Continuing Guaranty.

This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled. The Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations.

7.8 Authority of Credit Parties.

It is not necessary for any Beneficiary to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Credit Party or the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them.

7.9 Financial Condition of Credit Parties.

Any Credit Extension may be made to any Credit Party or continued from time to time, without notice to or authorization from the Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of any Credit Party at the time of any such grant or continuation is entered into, as the case may be. No Beneficiary shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with the Guarantor its assessment, or the Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of any Credit Party. The Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from the other Credit Parties on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of the other Credit Parties and their ability to perform their Obligations under the Loan Documents, and the Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the other Credit Parties and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Beneficiary to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of any other Credit Parties now known or hereafter known by any Beneficiary.

7.10 Bankruptcy, etc.

(a) So long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, the Guarantor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent acting pursuant to the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency case or proceeding of or against any other Credit Party. The Obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or

arrangement of any Credit Party or by any defense which such Credit Party or any other Credit Party may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.

(b) The Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding referred to in clause (a) above (or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention of the Guarantor and the Beneficiaries that the Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by the Guarantor pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve any other Credit Party of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantor will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar person to pay the Administrative Agent, or allow the claim of the Administrative Agent in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced.

(c) In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by any Credit Party, the Obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment (s) are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from any Beneficiary as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder.

SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS

A. Right to Assign. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, including all or a portion of its Commitment or Loans owing to it or other Obligation (provided, however, that each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of Loans and its Commitment): (i) to any Person meeting the criteria of clause (A) of the definition of the term of “Eligible Assignee” or to any Approved Fund upon the giving of notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent; and (ii) to any Person meeting the criteria of clause (B) of the definition of the term of “Eligible Assignee” and consented to by each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be (x) unreasonably withheld or delayed and, (y) in the case of the Borrower, required at any time an Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing); provided further each such assignment pursuant to this Section 9.1A shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $5,000,000, which such amount shall be reduced to $1,000,000 at any time an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or as shall constitute the aggregate amount of the Commitment and Loans of the assigning Lender).

B. Requirements. The assigning Lender and the assignee thereof shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement, together with (i) a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and (ii) such forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment Agreement may be required to deliver to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.8B(iii).

C. Acceptance and Notice of Assignment. Upon its receipt of a duly executed and completed Assignment Agreement, together with the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.1B (and any forms, certificates or other evidence required by this Agreement in connection therewith), the Administrative Agent shall record the information contained in such Assignment Agreement in the Register, shall give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower and shall maintain a copy of such Assignment Agreement.

D. Representations and Warranties of Assignee. Each Lender, upon execution and delivery hereof or upon executing and delivering an Assignment Agreement, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the Effective Date or as of the applicable Effective Date (as defined in the applicable Assignment Agreement) that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) it has experience and expertise in the making of or investing in commitments or loans such as its Commitment or Loans, as the case may be; and (iii) it will make or invest in, as the case may be, its Commitment or Loans for its own account in the ordinary course of its business and without a view to distribution of its Commitment or Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Section 9.1, the disposition of its Commitment or Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control).

E. Effect of Assignment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 9.1, as of the “Effective Date” specified in the applicable Assignment Agreement: (i) the assignee thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder to the extent such rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement and shall thereafter be a party hereto and a “Lender” for all purposes hereof; (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned thereby pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the termination hereof under Section 9.9) and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto; provided, anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, (y) the Issuing Bank shall continue to have all rights and obligations thereof with respect to such Letters of Credit until the cancellation or expiration of such Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder and (z) such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of all indemnities hereunder as specified herein with respect to matters arising out of the prior involvement of such assigning Lender as a Lender hereunder); (iii) the Commitments shall be modified to reflect the Commitment of such assignee and any Commitment of such assigning Lender, if any; and (iv) if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of any Note to the assigning Lender, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Notes to the Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon the Credit Parties shall issue and deliver

new Notes, if so requested by the assignee and/or assigning Lender, to such assignee and/or to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to evidence the Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender.

F. Certain Other Permitted Assignments. In addition to any other assignment permitted pursuant to this Section 9.1, any Lender may assign and/or pledge all or any portion of its Loans, the other obligations owed by or to such Lender, and its Letters of Credit, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender including to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such assignment or pledge shall release any Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

G. Participations. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participations to any Person (other than the Credit Parties, any of their Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates) in all or any part of its Commitment, Loans or other Obligations. The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate of the Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except with respect to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof) or (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement. The Credit Parties agree that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.9C and 2.8 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.1A; provided (i) a participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.8 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, unless the sale of the participation to such participant is made with the applicable Credit Party’s prior written consent and (ii) a participant that would be a Non-US Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.8B unless the applicable Credit Party is notified of the participation sold to such participant and such participant agrees, for the benefit of such Credit Party, to comply with Section 2.8B as though it were a Lender. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.5 as though it were a Lender, provided such participant agrees to be subject to Section 9.19 as though it were a Lender.

9.3 Indemnity.

In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 9.2, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, the Credit Parties agree to defend (subject to Indemnitees’ selection of counsel), indemnify, pay and hold harmless each of the Lead Arrangers and Agents and each Lender, and the respective partners, officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, and affiliates of each of the Lead Arrangers and each of the Agents and each Lender (collectively called the “Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities (as hereinafter defined); provided that the Credit Parties shall not have any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. As used herein, “Indemnified Liabilities” means, collectively, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages (including natural resource damages), penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims (including environmental claims), costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel for Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened by any Credit Party or any other Person, whether or not any such Indemnitee shall be designated as a party or a potential party thereto, and any fees or expenses incurred by Indemnitees in enforcing this indemnity), whether direct, indirect or consequential and whether based on any federal, state or foreign laws, statutes, rules or regulations (including securities and commercial laws, statutes, rules or regulations and Environmental Laws), on common law or equitable cause or on contract or otherwise, that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any such Indemnitee, in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated

C. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Credit Parties and each of their Subsidiaries shall not assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against the Lenders, the Agents, the Lead Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys or agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and the Credit Parties and each of its Subsidiaries hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

9.4 Exception for Subsidiary Borrowers.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in Sections 9.2 and 9.3 shall require a payment by a Subsidiary Borrower if such payment would violate any Applicable Law or if any Applicable Law would require minority shareholder approval, a valuation or a discretionary order, provided that the Guarantor shall be liable for any such payment referred to in this Section 9.4.

9.5 Set-Off.

In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each of the Agents and each Lender (and each of their respective Affiliates) is hereby authorized by the Credit Parties at any time or from time to time subject, except in the case of an Event of Default under Section 8.1, 8.6 or 8.7, to the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), without notice to the Credit Parties or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set-off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Agent or such Lender (or such Affiliate), and any of their respective affiliates, as the case may be, to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of any Credit Party to such Agent or such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Loan

The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle such Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(iv) The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents.

No failure or delay on the part of any Lead Arranger, any Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege.

9.11 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside.

No Agent or Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.

EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN TRANSACTION OR THE LENDER/BORROWER RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED.

9.18 Confidentiality.

Each Agent and Lender shall hold all confidential, proprietary or non-public information regarding the Credit Parties and their respective Subsidiaries and their respective businesses which has been identified as confidential by any such Credit Party and obtained pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement in accordance with such Agent’s or Lender’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices, it being understood and agreed by the Credit Parties that in any event each Lender may make disclosures (i) to Affiliates of such Agent or Lender and the directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives of such Agent or Lender and their Affiliates (and to other persons authorized by an Agent or Lender to organize, present or disseminate such information in connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section 9.18) and to third party settlement providers or third parties who provide administrative services to such Agent or Lender; (ii) reasonably required by any bona fide or potential assignee, transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer or participation by any Lender of its Loans or any interest therein; (iii) to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Credit Parties or their Subsidiaries received by it from any of the Agents or any Lender; (iv) required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof; provided that unless specifically prohibited by applicable law, court order or similar regulatory process, each

9.19 Ratable Sharing.

The Lenders hereby agree among themselves that, subject to Section 2.11 in the case of a Defaulting Lender, if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, amounts payable in respect of facility fees or commitment fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender), which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect to of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent of the receipt of such payment and (ii) apply a portion of such payment to purchase (for cash at face value) participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment), or such other adjustments as shall be equitable, in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided that, if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Credit Party or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Credit Parties and each of their Subsidiaries expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by the Credit Parties or any of their Subsidiaries to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder.

9.20 Counterparts; Effectiveness.

This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto or in connection herewith may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by the Administrative Agent of written or telephonic notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof.

9.21 Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights.

The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document, and no action taken by the Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out hereof and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

9.22 Usury Savings Clause.

Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. As used herein, “Highest Lawful Rate” means the maximum lawful interest rate, if any, that at any time or from time to time may be contracted for, charged, or received under the laws applicable to any Lender which are presently in effect or, to the extent allowed by law, under such applicable laws which may hereafter be in effect and which allow a higher maximum nonusurious interest rate than applicable laws now allow. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, the Credit Parties shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of the Lenders and the Credit Parties to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to the Credit Parties.

9.23 Judgment Currency.

The obligation of the Credit Parties to make payments of the principal of and interest on the Obligations in the currency specified for such payment shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment, which is expressed in or converted into any other currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt by the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender of the full amount of the particular currency expressed to be payable pursuant to the applicable Loan Document. The Administrative Agent shall, using all amounts obtained or received from the applicable Credit Party pursuant to any such tender or recovery in payment of principal of and interest on the Obligations, promptly purchase the applicable currency at the most favorable spot exchange rate determined by the Administrative Agent to be available to it. The obligation of the Credit Parties to make payments in the applicable currency shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action solely for the purpose of recovering in the applicable currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the currency expressed to be payable pursuant to the applicable Loan Document.

9.24 Termination of Existing Credit Agreement.

The Borrower and each of the Lenders that is also a “Lender” party to the Credit Agreement and Guaranty dated as of December 16, 2005, as amended on January 15, 2007, among the Borrower, the lenders party thereto and Citicorp North America, Inc., as administrative agent (the “Existing Credit Agreement”), agrees that the “Commitments” as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement shall be terminated in their entirety on the Effective Date in accordance with the terms thereof. Each of such Lenders waives any requirement of notice of such termination pursuant to Section II of the Existing Credit Agreement.

9.25 No Fiduciary Duty.

Each Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower, its stockholders and/or its affiliates. The Borrower agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other. The Credit Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower, its stockholders or its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise the Borrower, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrower except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Borrower has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate

and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. The Borrower agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Borrower, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

SECTION 10. AGENTS

10.1 Authorization and Authority.

Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Citibank to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section 10 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any other Credit Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

10.2 Agent Individually.

(a) The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

(b) Each Lender understands that the Person serving as Administrative Agent, acting in its individual capacity, and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Agent’s Group”) are engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses (including investment management, financing, securities trading, corporate and investment banking and research) (such services and businesses are collectively referred to in this Section 10.2 as “Activities”) and may engage in the Activities with or on behalf of one or more of the Credit Parties or their respective Affiliates. Furthermore, the Agent’s Group may, in undertaking the Activities, engage in trading in financial products or undertake other investment businesses for its own account or on behalf of others (including the Credit Parties and their Affiliates and including holding, for its own account or on behalf of others, equity, debt and similar positions in the Borrower or another Credit Party or their respective Affiliates), including trading in or holding long, short or derivative positions in securities, loans or other financial products of one or more of the Credit Parties or their Affiliates. Each Lender understands and agrees that in engaging in the Activities, the Agent’s Group may receive or otherwise obtain information concerning the Credit Parties or their Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Credit Parties to perform their respective obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) which information may not be available to any of the Lenders that are not members of the Agent’s Group. None of the Administrative Agent nor any member of the Agent’s Group shall have any duty to disclose

to any Lender or use on behalf of the Lenders, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, any information whatsoever about or derived from the Activities or otherwise (including any information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof) or to account for any revenue or profits obtained in connection with the Activities, except that the Administrative Agent shall deliver or otherwise make available to each Lender such documents as are expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders.

(c) Each Lender further understands that there may be situations where members of the Agent’s Group or their respective customers (including the Credit Parties and their Affiliates) either now have or may in the future have interests or take actions that may conflict with the interests of any one or more of the Lenders (including the interests of the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents). Each Lender agrees that no member of the Agent’s Group is or shall be required to restrict its activities as a result of the Person serving as Administrative Agent being a member of the Agent’s Group, and that each member of the Agent’s Group may undertake any Activities without further consultation with or notification to any Lender. None of (i) this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, (ii) the receipt by the Agent’s Group of information concerning the Credit Parties or their Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Credit Parties to perform their respective obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) nor (iii) any other matter shall give rise to any fiduciary, equitable or contractual duties (including without limitation any duty of trust or confidence) owing by the Administrative Agent or any member of the Agent’s Group to any Lender including any such duty that would prevent or restrict the Agent’s Group from acting on behalf of customers (including the Credit Parties or their Affiliates) or for its own account.

10.3 Duties of Agent; Exculpatory Provisions.

X. Xxxxxx; Duties Specified. The Administrative Agent’s duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are solely ministerial and administrative in nature and the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, but shall be required to act or refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written direction of the Requisite Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law.

B. No Responsibility for Certain Matters. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Requisite Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 9.6 or Section 8) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Event of Default or Potential Event of Default or the event or events that give or may give rise to any

Event of Default or Potential Event of Default unless and until the Borrower or any Lender shall have given notice to the Administrative Agent describing such Event of Default or Potential Event of Default and such event or events.

C. Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any member of the Agent’s Group shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty, representation or other information made or supplied in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith or the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the information contained therein, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Event of Default or Potential Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created hereby or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 3 or elsewhere herein, other than (but subject to the foregoing clause (ii)) to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

D. “Know Your Customer”. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall require the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties to carry out any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any person on behalf of any Lender and each Lender confirms to the Administrative Agent that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties.

10.4 Reliance by Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless an officer of the Administrative Agent responsible for the transactions contemplated hereby shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit, and in the case of a Borrowing, such Lender shall not have made available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower or any other Credit Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

10.5 Delegation of Duties.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. Each such sub-agent and the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and each such sub-agent shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Section 10 and Section 9.3 (as though such sub-agents were the “Agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

10.6 Resignation of Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Credit Parties and the Administrative Agent and signed by the Requisite Lenders. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation or such removal, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right, with, so long as no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default exists, the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), upon five (5) Business Days’ notice to the Credit Parties, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in New York, New York. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation or is removed by the Requisite Lenders (such 30-day period, the “Lender Appointment Period”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, with, so long as no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default exists, the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), upon five (5) Business Days’ notice to the Credit Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. In addition and without any obligation on the part of the retiring Administrative Agent to appoint, on behalf of the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent may at any time upon or after the end of the Lender Appointment Period notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted appointment as successor Administrative Agent and the effective date of such retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal. Upon the resignation or removal effective date established in such notice and regardless of whether a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed and accepted such appointment, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal shall nonetheless become effective and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties as Administrative Agent of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged

therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 10 and Section 9.3 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

(b) Upon any resignation or removal pursuant to this Section of a Person acting as Administrative Agent and the appointment of a replacement Issuing Bank, unless such Person shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders otherwise, such Person and its Affiliates shall be relieved of any obligation to advance or issue new, or extend existing, Letters of Credit where such issuance or extension is to occur on or after the effective date of such resignation or removal and appointment. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Issuing Bank hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank, (ii) the retiring Issuing Bank shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and (iii) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit.

10.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.

(a) Each Lender confirms to the Administrative Agent, each other Lender and each of their respective Related Parties that it (i) possesses (individually or through its Related Parties) such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable, without reliance on the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, of evaluating the merits and risks (including tax, legal, regulatory, credit, accounting and other financial matters) of (x) entering into this Agreement, (y) making Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (z) in taking or not taking actions hereunder and thereunder, (ii) is financially able to bear such risks and (iii) has determined that entering into this Agreement and making Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder and under the other Loan Documents is suitable and appropriate for it.

(b) Each Lender acknowledges that (i) it is solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, made its own appraisal and investigation of all risks associated with, and its own credit analysis and decision to enter into, this Agreement based on such documents and information, as it has deemed appropriate and (iii) it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, continue to be solely responsible for making its own appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with, and its own credit analysis and decision to take or not take action under, this

Agreement and the other Loan Documents based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, which may include, in each case:

(i) the financial condition, status and capitalization of the Borrower and each other Credit Party;

(ii) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Loan Document;

(iii) determining compliance or non-compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit and the form and substance of all evidence delivered in connection with establishing the satisfaction of each such condition;

(iv) the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the information delivered by the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or by any of their respective Related Parties under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Loan Document.

10.8 Right to Indemnity.

Each Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, severally agrees to indemnify each Agent, to the extent that such Agent shall not have been reimbursed by the Credit Parties to the full extent required by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or otherwise in its capacity as such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that (a) no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct and (b) no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of an Indemnified Liability pursuant to this Section 10.8 unless such Indemnified Liability was incurred by such Agent in its capacity as such or by another Person acting for such Agent in such capacity. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished.

10.9 Agents Under Guaranty.

Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent on behalf of and for the benefit of the Lenders, to be the agent for and representative of the Lenders with respect to the Guaranty.

10.10 No Other Duties, etc.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Persons acting as Lead Arrangers, Syndication Agents or Documentation Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or as a Lender hereunder.
