FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of May 31, 2006, among XXXXXXXX AMERICAN INC., a North Carolina corporation (the “Borrower”), and the lending institutions listed from time to time on Annex I hereto (each, a “Lender” and, collectively, the “Lenders”). Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein and defined in Section 10 are used herein as so defined.

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Borrower, X.X. Xxxxxxxx Tobacco Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“RJRTH”), and certain financial institutions are party to a Credit Agreement, dated as of May 7, 1999, amended and restated as of November 17, 2000, amended and restated as of May 10, 2002 and further amended and restated as of July 30, 2004 (as so amended and restated and as the same has been further amended, modified, supplemented to, but not including, the Fourth Restatement Effective Date, the “Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the parties hereto wish to amend and restate the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement in its entirety as herein provided;

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree that the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement shall be and is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED:

SECTION 1. Amount and Terms of Credit.

1.01 Commitments. (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment severally agrees to make a loan or loans (each, a “Revolving Loan” and, collectively, the “Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower, which Revolving Loans:

(i) shall be made at any time and from time to time on and after the Original Effective Date and prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date;

(ii) may, at the option of the Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, Reference Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, provided that all Revolving Loans comprising the same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, consist entirely of Revolving Loans of the same Type;

(iii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof; and

(iv) shall not exceed for any Lender at any time outstanding that aggregate principal amount which, when added to the product of (x) such Lender’s RL Percentage and (y) the sum of (I) the aggregate Letter of Credit Outstandings plus (II) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Swingline Loans then outstanding, equals the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender at such time.

(b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Swingline Lender agrees, at any time and from time to time on and after the Original Effective Date and prior to the Swingline Maturity Date, to make a loan or loans (each, a “Swingline Loan” and, collectively, the “Swingline Loans”) to the Borrower, which Swingline Loans:

(i) shall be Reference Rate Loans;

(ii) shall have the benefit of the provisions of Section 1.01(c);

(iii) shall not exceed in the aggregate at any one time outstanding the Swingline Commitment of the Swingline Lender at such time;

(iv) shall not exceed at any time outstanding that aggregate principal amount which, when combined with the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding and all Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time, equals the Total Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect; and

(v) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof.

On (x) the Swingline Maturity Date, all Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full and (y) the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, all Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full and may not be reborrowed until the next succeeding Business Day, provided that repayment of the Swingline Loans pursuant to this clause (y) shall not be required to the extent that the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Swingline Loans to be repaid is less than $10,000,000. The Swingline Lender will not make a Swingline Loan after it has received written notice from the Required Lenders that one or more of the applicable conditions to Credit Events specified in Section 5 are not then satisfied.

(c) On any Business Day, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, give notice to the RL Lenders that all then outstanding Swingline Loans shall be funded with a Borrowing of Revolving Loans (provided that such notice shall be deemed to have been automatically given by the Swingline Lender upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 9.05), in which case a Borrowing of Revolving Loans constituting Reference Rate Loans (each such Borrowing, a “Mandatory Borrowing”) shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day by all RL Lenders pro rata based on each RL Lender’s RL Percentage, and the proceeds thereof shall be applied directly to repay the Swingline Lender for its outstanding Swingline Loans. Each RL Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make Reference Rate Loans upon one Business Day’s notice (or deemed notice) pursuant to each Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the date specified in writing by the Swingline Lender, notwithstanding (i) that the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the Minimum Borrowing Amount otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 5 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (iv) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing and (v) any reduction in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment after any such Swingline Loans were made. In the event that any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code in respect of the Borrower), each

-2-

RL Lender (other than the Swingline Lender) hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase from the Swingline Lender (without recourse or warranty) such assignment of its outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause the RL Lenders to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon their respective RL Percentages; provided that all interest payable on such Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date the respective assignment is purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased assignment, shall be payable to the RL Lender purchasing same from and after such date of purchase.

(d) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender with a Term Loan Commitment severally agrees to make a term loan or term loans (each, a “Term Loan” and, collectively, the “Term Loans”) to the Borrower, which Term Loans:

(i) shall be incurred pursuant to a single drawing on the Fourth Restatement Effective Date;

(ii) may, at the option of the Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, Reference Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, provided that all Term Loans comprising the same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, consist entirely of Term Loans of the same Type; and

(iii) shall be made by each such Lender in that aggregate principal amount which equals the Term Loan Commitment of such Lender on the Fourth Restatement Effective Date (before giving effect to the termination thereof on such date pursuant to Section 3.03(c)).

Once repaid, Term Loans incurred hereunder may not be reborrowed.

1.02 Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing; Maximum Number of Borrowings. The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of Loans under a respective Tranche shall not be less than the applicable Minimum Borrowing Amount with respect thereto (except that Mandatory Borrowings shall be made in the amounts required by Section 1.01(c)). More than one Borrowing may be incurred on any date; provided that at no time shall there be outstanding more than twenty Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans in the aggregate for all Tranches of Loans under this Agreement.

1.03 Notice of Borrowing of Committed Loans. (a) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur (x) Eurodollar Loans hereunder, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office at least three Business Days’ prior notice of each Eurodollar Loan to be incurred hereunder and (y) Reference Rate Loans hereunder (excluding Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing), the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office at least one Business Day’s prior notice of each Reference Rate Loan to be incurred hereunder, provided that (in each case) any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on a certain day only if given before 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on such day. Each such notice (each, together with each notice of a Borrowing of Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 1.03(b), a “Notice of Borrowing”), shall be irrevocable and shall be in writing, or by telephone promptly confirmed in writing, appropriately completed to specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be

-3-

incurred pursuant to such Borrowing, (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) whether the Loans being incurred pursuant to such Borrowing shall constitute Term Loans or Revolving Loans, and (iv) whether the Loans being incurred pursuant to such Borrowing are to be initially maintained as Reference Rate Loans or, to the extent permitted hereunder, Eurodollar Loans and, if Eurodollar Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender which is required to make Loans of the Tranche specified in the respective Notice of Borrowing, notice of such proposed Borrowing, of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters required by the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in the Notice of Borrowing.

(b) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur Swingline Loans hereunder, it shall give the Swingline Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Borrowing of Swingline Loans prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on the date of such Borrowing. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing and (ii) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day).

(c) Mandatory Borrowings shall be made upon the notice specified in Section 1.01(c), with the Borrower irrevocably agreeing, by its incurrence of any Swingline Loan, to the making of Mandatory Borrowings as set forth in such Section.

(d) Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any notice it may give hereunder by telephone, the Administrative Agent may act prior to receipt of written confirmation without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice, believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower. In each such case, the Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of any such telephonic notice.

1.04 Disbursement of Funds. (a) No later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date of each Borrowing (including Mandatory Borrowings), each Lender with a Commitment under the respective Tranche will make available its pro rata portion, if any, of each Borrowing requested to be made on such date in the manner provided in Section 1.04(b) below.

(b) Each Lender with a Commitment under the respective Tranche shall make available all amounts it is to fund under any Borrowing in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office and the Administrative Agent will (except in the case of Mandatory Borrowings) make available to the Borrower by depositing to its account at the Administrative Agent’s Office the aggregate of the amounts so made available in U.S. Dollars and the type of funds received. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of any such Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the

-4-

Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Administrative Agent has made available same to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (x) if paid by such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Rate or (y) if paid by the Borrower, the then applicable rate of interest, calculated in accordance with Section 1.08, for the respective Loans.

(c) Nothing in this Section 1.04 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

1.05 Notes; Register. (a) The Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Loans made by each Lender shall be set forth in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.04(f) and, subject to the provisions of Section 1.05(f), shall be evidenced (i) if Term Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “Term Note” and, collectively, the “Term Notes”), (ii) if Revolving Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “Revolving Note” and, collectively, the “Revolving Notes”) and (iii) if Swingline Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit A-3 with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (the “Swingline Note” and, together with the Term Notes and the Revolving Notes, each, a “Note” and, collectively, the “Notes”).

(b) The Term Note issued to each Lender with a Term Loan Commitment or outstanding Term Loans shall (i) be executed by the Borrower, (ii) be payable to such Lender or its registered assigns and be dated the Fourth Restatement Effective Date (or, in the case of any Term Note issued after the Fourth Restatement Effective Date, the date of issuance thereof), (iii) be in a stated principal amount equal to the Term Loan Commitment of such Lender on the date of issuance thereof (or, if issued after the termination of such Term Loan Commitment, in a stated principal amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans of such Lender on the date of the issuance thereof) and be payable in the principal amount of the Term Loans evidenced thereby from time to time, (iv) mature on the Term Loan Maturity Date, (v) bear interest as provided in the appropriate clause of Section 1.08 in respect of the Reference Rate Loans and Eurodollar Loans, as the case may be, evidenced thereby, (vi) be subject to voluntary repayment as provided in Section 4.01 and mandatory repayment as provided in Section 4.02 and (vii) be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

-5-

(c) The Revolving Note issued to each Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment or outstanding Revolving Loans shall (i) be executed by the Borrower, (ii) be payable to such Lender or its registered assigns and be dated the Fourth Restatement Effective Date (or, in the case of any Revolving Note issued after the Fourth Restatement Effective Date, the date of issuance thereof), (iii) be in a stated principal amount equal to the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender on the date of issuance thereof (or, if issued after the termination of such Revolving Loan Commitment, in a stated principal amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans of such Lender on the date of the issuance thereof) and be payable in the principal amount of the Revolving Loans evidenced thereby from time to time, (iv) mature on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, (v) bear interest as provided in the appropriate clause of Section 1.08 in respect of the Reference Rate Loans and Eurodollar Loans, as the case may be, evidenced thereby, (vi) be subject to voluntary repayment as provided in Section 4.01 and mandatory repayment as provided in Section 4.02 and (vii) be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

(d) The Swingline Note issued to the Swingline Lender shall (i) be executed by the Borrower, (ii) be payable to the Swingline Lender or its registered assigns and be dated the Fourth Restatement Effective Date (or, in the case of any Swingline Note issued after the Fourth Restatement Effective Date, the date of issuance thereof), (iii) be in a stated principal amount equal to the Swingline Commitment of the Swingline Lender on the date of issuance thereof (or, if issued after the termination of such Swingline Commitment, in a stated principal amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Swingline Loans of the Swingline Lender on the date of the issuance thereof) and be payable in the principal amount of the Swingline Loans evidenced thereby from time to time, (iv) mature on the Swingline Maturity Date, (v) bear interest as provided in the appropriate clause of Section 1.08 in respect of the Reference Rate Loans evidenced thereby, (vi) be subject to voluntary repayment as provided in Section 4.01 and mandatory repayment as provided in Section 4.02 and (vii) be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

(e) Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof and will prior to any transfer of its Note endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding principal amount of Loans evidenced thereby. Failure to make any such notation or any error in any such notation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above or elsewhere in this Agreement, Notes shall only be delivered to Lenders that at any time specifically request the delivery of such Notes. No failure of any Lender to request or obtain a Note evidencing its Loans to the Borrower shall affect or in any manner impair the obligations of the Borrower to pay the Loans (and all related Obligations) which would otherwise be evidenced thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and shall not in any way affect the security or guaranties therefor provided pursuant to the various Credit Documents. Any Lender that does not have a Note evidencing its outstanding Loans shall in no event be required to make the notations otherwise described in preceding clause (e). At any time when any Lender requests the delivery of a Note to evidence any of its Loans, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to the respective Lender the requested Note or Notes in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans.

-6-

1.06 Conversions. The Borrower shall have the option to convert on any Business Day all or a portion equal to at least the applicable Minimum Borrowing Amount of the outstanding principal amount of Loans under a given Tranche of one Type into a Borrowing or Borrowings of Loans under such Tranche of another Type; provided that (i) no partial conversion of Eurodollar Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the applicable Minimum Borrowing Amount, (ii) Reference Rate Loans may only be converted into Eurodollar Loans if no Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion and (iii) Borrowings resulting from conversions pursuant to this Section 1.06 shall be limited in number as provided in Section 1.02. Each such conversion shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York time) at least three Business Days’ (or one Business Day’s in the case of a conversion into Reference Rate Loans) prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) (each, a “Notice of Conversion”) specifying the Loans of a given Tranche to be so converted, the Type of Loans to be converted into and, if to be converted into Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender notice as promptly as practicable of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its Loans.

1.07 Pro Rata Borrowings. All Borrowings of Term Loans and Revolving Loans under this Agreement shall be loaned by the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their respective Term Loan Commitments or Revolving Loan Commitments, as the case may be. It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder.

1.08 Interest. (a) The unpaid principal amount of each Reference Rate Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall at all times be the Applicable Margin plus the Reference Rate, in each case as in effect from time to time.

(b) The unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall at all times be the Applicable Margin plus the relevant Eurodollar Rate.

(c) Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of each Loan under a given Tranche shall, in each case, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Reference Rate in effect from time to time plus the sum of (i) 2% and (ii) the Applicable Margin for Loans of the respective Tranche maintained as Reference Rate Loans; provided that each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest after maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) until the end of the Interest Period then applicable thereto at a rate per annum equal to 2% in excess of the rate of interest applicable thereto at maturity. All other overdue amounts payable hereunder and under any other Credit Document shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate applicable to Revolving Loans that are maintained as Reference Rate Loans from time to time. Interest that accrues under this Section 1.08(c) shall be payable on demand.

(d) Interest on each Loan shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof and shall be payable (i) in respect of each Reference Rate Loan, quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, (ii) in respect of each Eurodollar Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three-month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period, and on any prepayment (on the amount prepaid) and (iii) in respect of each Loan, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.

(e) All computations of interest hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 12.07(b).

(f) The Administrative Agent, upon determining the interest rate for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans for any Interest Period, shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof.

1.09 Interest Periods. At the time the Borrower gives a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion in respect of the making of, or conversion into, a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, it shall have the right to elect by giving the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) the Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower, be a one, two, three or six month period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above:

(i) the initial Interest Period for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans shall commence on the date of such Borrowing (including the date of any conversion from a Borrowing of Reference Rate Loans) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Borrowing shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;

(ii) if any Interest Period relating to a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month;

(iii) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day, provided that if any Interest Period in respect of a Eurodollar Loan would otherwise expire on a day which 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 next preceding Business Day;

(iv) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of any Tranche of Loans shall be selected which extends beyond the Maturity Date for such Tranche of Loans; and

-8-

(v) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of Term Loans shall be selected which extends beyond any date upon which a mandatory repayment of such Term Loans will be required to be made under Section 4.02(b), if the aggregate principal amount of such Term Loans which have Interest Periods which will expire after such date will be in excess of the aggregate principal amount of such Term Loans then outstanding less the aggregate amount of such required repayment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default is in existence at the time any Interest Period in respect of any Eurodollar Loans is to expire, such Eurodollar Loans may not be continued as Eurodollar Loans but instead shall be automatically converted on the last day of such Interest Period into Reference Rate Loans. If upon the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect a new Interest Period to be applicable thereto as provided above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Borrowing into a Borrowing of Reference Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

1.10 Increased Costs, Illegality, etc. (a) In the event that (x) in the case of clause (i) below, the Administrative Agent or (y) in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) below, any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto):

(i) on any date for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period that, by reason of any changes arising on or after the Fourth Restatement Effective Date affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of Eurodollar Rate; or

(ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Eurodollar Loans because of (x) any change since the Fourth Restatement Effective Date in any applicable law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order) such as, for example, but not limited to, (A) a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the Eurodollar Rate or (B) a change in the basis of taxation of payments to a Lender of the principal of or interest on the Loans or any other amount payable hereunder (except for changes in the rate of tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income or net profits of such Lender imposed by the jurisdiction in which its principal office or applicable lending office is located) and/or (y) other circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market; or

(iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any Loan (other than Reference Rate Loans) has become unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or, in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after

-9-

the Fourth Restatement Effective Date which materially and adversely affects the interbank Eurodollar market;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall on such date give notice (if by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, Eurodollar Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion given by the Borrower with respect to Eurodollar Loans which have not yet been incurred shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, upon written demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 1.10(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

(b) At any time that any Eurodollar Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 1.10(a)(ii) or (iii), the Borrower may (and in the case of a Eurodollar Loan affected pursuant to Section 1.10(a)(iii) shall) either (i) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, cancel said Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing) thereof as promptly as practicable after the Borrower was notified by a Lender pursuant to Section 1.10(a)(ii) or (iii), or (ii) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert each such Eurodollar Loan into a Reference Rate Loan; provided that if more than one Lender is affected in a similar manner at any time, then all such similarly affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 1.10(b).

(c) If after the Fourth Restatement Effective Date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by a Lender or its parent with any request or directive made or adopted after the Fourth Restatement Effective Date regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or its parent’s capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender’s commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or its parent could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or its parent’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or

-10-

amounts as will compensate such Lender or its parent for such reduction. Each Lender, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 1.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, although the failure to give any such notice shall not, subject to Section 1.15, release or diminish any of the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 1.10(c) upon receipt of such notice.

1.11 Compensation. The Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Eurodollar Loans but excluding any loss of anticipated profit with respect to such Loans) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 1.10); (ii) if any repayment or conversion of any of its Eurodollar Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; or (iv) as a consequence of (x) any other default by the Borrower to repay its Eurodollar Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or (y) an election made pursuant to Section 1.10(b). Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 1.11 in respect of Eurodollar Loans shall be made as though that Lender had actually funded its relevant Eurodollar Loan through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate in an amount equal to the amount of that Loan, having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of such Eurodollar 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 Eurodollar Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this Section 1.11.

1.12 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 1.10(a)(ii) or (iii), 2.05 or 4.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event; provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such Section. Nothing in this Section 1.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Section 1.10, 2.05 or 4.04.

1.13 [RESERVED]

1.14 Replacement of Lenders. If (x) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or otherwise defaults in its obligations to make Loans or fund Unpaid Drawings, (y) any Lender refuses to give timely consent to proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with

-11-

respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as, and to the extent, provided in Section 12.12(b), or (z) any Lender is owed increased costs under Section 1.10(a) or (c), Section 2.05 or Section 4.04 which in the judgment of the Borrower are material in amount and which are not otherwise requested generally by the other Lenders, the Borrower shall have the right, if no Event of Default then exists and, in the case of a Lender described in clause (z) above, such Lender has not withdrawn its request for such compensation or changed its applicable lending office with the effect of eliminating or substantially decreasing (to a level which in the judgment of the Borrower is not material) such increased cost, to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Transferee or Transferees (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of the replacement of a Replaced Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment (and/or related Obligations), each Significant Letter of Credit Issuer, provided that (i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 1.14, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment Agreements pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitment and outstanding Loans of, and participations in Letters of Credit by, the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to (x) the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (a) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender, (b) an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s participations in Unpaid Drawings that have been funded by such Replaced Lender, together with all then accrued but unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time, and (c) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees owing to the Replaced Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof and (y) the appropriate Letter of Credit Issuer an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s RL Percentage of any Unpaid Drawing not funded by such Replaced Lender and (ii) all Obligations of the Borrower owing to the Replaced Lender (other than those specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement. Upon the execution of the respective assignment documentation, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note executed by the Borrower (if any), the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender.

1.15 Notice of Certain Costs. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any notice required by Section 1.10 or 2.05 is given by any Lender more than 180 days after the occurrence of the event giving rise to the additional cost, reduction in amounts or other additional amounts of the type described in such Section, such Lender shall not be entitled to compensation under Section 1.10 or Section 2.05, as the case may be, for any such amounts incurred or accruing prior to the giving of such notice to the Borrower.

1.16 Incremental RL Commitments. (a) The Borrower shall have the right, without requiring the consent of any of the Lenders, to request at any time and from time to time after the Fourth Restatement Effective Date so long as no Default or Event Default has occurred and is continuing, that one or more Lenders (and/or one or more other Persons which are Eligible Transferees and which will become Lenders as provided below) satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (with such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) provide Incremental RL Commitments and, subject to the applicable terms and conditions contained in this

-12-

Agreement, make Revolving Loans pursuant thereto; it being understood and agreed, however, that (i) until such time, if any, as such Lender has agreed in its sole discretion to provide an Incremental RL Commitment and executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent an Incremental RL Commitment Agreement in respect thereof as provided in clause (b) of this Section 1.16, such Lender shall not be obligated to fund any Revolving Loans in excess of its Revolving Loan Commitment as in effect prior to giving effect to such Incremental RL Commitment provided pursuant to this Section 1.16, (ii) any Lender (including any Eligible Transferee who will become a Lender) may so provide an Incremental RL Commitment without the consent of any other Lender, (iii) each provision of Incremental RL Commitments on a given date pursuant to this Section 1.16 shall be in a minimum aggregate amount (for all Lenders (including any Eligible Transferee who will become a Lender)) of at least $20,000,000, (iv) the aggregate amount of all Incremental RL Commitments provided pursuant to this Section 1.16 shall not exceed $250,000,000, (v) all Revolving Loans made pursuant to an Incremental RL Commitment (and all interest, fees and other amounts payable thereon) shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents and shall be secured by the Security Documents, and guaranteed under the Subsidiaries Guaranty, on a pari passu basis with all other Obligations secured by the Security Documents and guaranteed under the Subsidiaries Guaranty and (vi) all actions taken by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 1.16 shall be done in coordination with the Administrative Agent.

(b) At the time of the provision of Incremental RL Commitments pursuant to this Section 1.16, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each such Lender or other Eligible Transferee which agrees to provide an Incremental RL Commitment (each, an “Incremental RL Lender”) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental RL Commitment Agreement, with the effectiveness of such Incremental RL Lender’s Incremental RL Commitment to occur on the date set forth in such Incremental RL Commitment Agreement, which date in any event shall be no earlier than the date on which (w) all fees required to be paid in connection therewith at the time of such effectiveness shall have been paid (including, without limitation, any agreed upon up-front or arrangement fees), (x) all Incremental Commitment Requirements are satisfied, (y) all other conditions set forth in this Section 1.16 shall have been satisfied, and (z) all other conditions precedent that may be set forth in such Incremental RL Commitment Agreement shall have been satisfied. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental RL Commitment Agreement, and at such time, (i) the Total Revolving Loan Commitment under, and for all purposes of, this Agreement shall be increased by the aggregate amount of such Incremental RL Commitments, (ii) Annex I shall be deemed modified to reflect the revised Revolving Loan Commitments of the affected Lenders and (iii) to the extent requested by any Incremental RL Lender, Revolving Notes will be issued, at the Borrower’s expense, to such Incremental RL Lender in conformity with the requirements of Section 1.05.

(c) At the time of any provision of Incremental RL Commitments pursuant to this Section 1.16, the Borrower shall, in coordination with the Administrative Agent, repay outstanding Revolving Loans of certain of the RL Lenders, and incur additional Revolving Loans from certain other RL Lenders (including the Incremental RL Lenders), in each case to the extent necessary so that all of the RL Lenders participate in each outstanding Borrowing of Revolving Loans pro rata on the basis of their respective Revolving Loan Commitments (after giving effect to any increase in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to this Section 1.16) and with

-13-

the Borrower being obligated to pay to the respective RL Lenders any costs of the type referred to in Section 1.11 in connection with any such repayment and/or Borrowing.

SECTION 2. Letters of Credit.

2.01 Letters of Credit. (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request that a Letter of Credit Issuer issue, at any time and from time to time on or after the Original Effective Date and prior to the L/C Termination Date, for the account of the Borrower and in support of any Permitted Obligations, to replace Existing Letters of Credit, to effect Permitted Litigation Bonding or in support of such other obligations of the Borrower and/or any of its Subsidiaries as are acceptable to the Administrative Agent, an irrevocable standby letter of credit or letters of credit in such form as may be approved by such Letter of Credit Issuer and the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably, and, subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Letter of Credit Issuer will issue the Letters of Credit so requested to be issued.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing (i) no Letter of Credit shall be issued (x) the Stated Amount of which, when added to the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time would exceed, when added to the sum of the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans and all Swingline Loans then outstanding, the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time or (y) with an expiration date beyond the L/C Termination Date, provided that, at the request of the Borrower, a Letter of Credit Issuer may in its sole discretion permit any Letter of Credit to have an expiration date after the L/C Termination Date by giving written notice of such permission to the Borrower, so long as (x) upon the earlier to occur of (I) the date of any request of the respective Letter of Credit Issuer and (II) the 91st day preceding the L/C Termination Date, the Borrower shall pay to the respective Letter of Credit Issuer an amount of cash and/or Marketable Investments acceptable to such Letter of Credit Issuer equal to 105% of the Letter of Credit Outstandings with respect to such Letter of Credit, such cash and Marketable Investments to be held as security for the obligations of the Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit in a cash collateral account, and pursuant to cash collateral arrangements, satisfactory to such Letter of Credit Issuer and (y) the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit at any time having an expiration date after the L/C Termination Date shall not exceed $15,000,000; (ii) each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars or an Approved Alternate Currency; and (iii) no Letter of Credit shall be issued by a Letter of Credit Issuer after it has received a notice in writing from the Required Lenders that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5 are not then satisfied.

(c) Annex III hereto contains a description of all letters of credit issued by any Lender for the account of RJRTH pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and outstanding on the Fourth Restatement Effective Date (and setting forth, with respect to each such letter of credit, (i) the name of the issuing lender, (ii) the letter of credit number, (iii) the name(s) of the account party or account parties, (iv) the stated amount (which shall be in U.S. Dollars or an Approved Alternate Currency), (v) the name of the beneficiary and (vi) the expiry date). Each such letter of credit, including any extension or renewal thereof (each, as amended from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof and hereof, an “Existing Letter of Credit”) shall constitute a “Letter of Credit” issued for the account of the Borrower for all purposes of this Agreement, issued, for purposes of Section 2.03(a), on the

-00-

Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx Effective Date and the respective issuer(s) thereof shall constitute the “Letter of Credit Issuer(s)” with respect to such Letter of Credit for all purposes of this Agreement.

2.02 Letter of Credit Requests. Whenever the Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account, it shall give the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer that is to issue same at least five Business Days’ (or such lesser number of days as may be agreed to by the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer) written notice thereof. Each notice shall be executed by the Borrower and shall be in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (each, a “Letter of Credit Request”). The Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit copies of each Letter of Credit Request to each RL Lender.

2.03 Letter of Credit Participations. (a) Immediately upon the issuance by a Letter of Credit Issuer of any Letter of Credit (and on the Fourth Restatement Effective Date, in the case of Existing Letters of Credit), such Letter of Credit Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each other RL Lender (each such other RL Lender, in its capacity under this Section 2.03, a “Participant”), and each such Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Letter of Credit Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (each, a “participation”), to the extent of such Participant’s RL Percentage, in such Letter of Credit, each substitute letter of credit, each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor that remains in effect after the Original Effective Date, or guaranty pertaining thereto (although Letter of Credit Fees will be paid directly to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Participants as provided in Section 3.01(c) and the Participants shall have no right to receive any portion of any Facing Fees). Upon any change in the Revolving Loan Commitments of the RL Lenders pursuant to Section 1.14, 1.16 or 12.04, it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 2.03 to reflect the new RL Percentages of the assignor and assignee RL Lender and of all RL Lenders.

(b) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer issuing same shall have no obligation relative to the Participants other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by a Letter of Credit Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not create for such Letter of Credit Issuer any resulting liability.

(c) In the event that any Letter of Credit Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the Borrower shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 2.04(a), such Letter of Credit Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and each Participant of such failure, and each Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer, the amount of such Participant’s RL Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in U.S. Dollars and in same day funds; provided, however, that no Participant shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer its RL Percentage of such unreimbursed amount for any wrongful payment made by such Letter of Credit Issuer under a Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such Letter of

-15-

Credit Issuer (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). If such Letter of Credit Issuer so notifies, prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on any Business Day, any Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such Participant shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer such Participant’s RL Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds. If and to the extent such Participant shall not have so made its RL Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer, such Participant agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer at the overnight Federal Funds Rate. The failure of any Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer its RL Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer its RL Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent such other Participant’s RL Percentage of any such payment.

(c) Whenever any Letter of Credit Issuer receives a payment in respect of an unpaid reimbursement obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer any payments from the Participants pursuant to the preceding clause (c), such Letter of Credit Issuer shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each Participant which has paid its RL Percentage of such reimbursement obligation, in U.S. Dollars and in same day funds, an amount equal to such Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all Participants) of the principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective participations.

(d) The obligations of the Participants to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of a Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to counterclaim, set-off or other defense or any other qualification or exception whatsoever (except as expressly provided in Section 2.03(c)) and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:

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

(ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer, any Lender, or other

-16-

Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit);

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

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

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

(vi) the failure of any condition precedent set forth in Section 5 hereof to have been satisfied at the time of the issuance of any Letter of Credit, unless the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer shall have received a notice in writing to such effect from the Required Lenders pursuant to Section 2.01(b)(iv) hereof prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit.

2.04 Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings. (a) The Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse the respective Letter of Credit Issuer, by making payment to the Administrative Agent in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office, for any payment or disbursement made by such Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit issued by it (each such amount so paid until reimbursed, an “Unpaid Drawing”) promptly after, and in any event within one Business Day after the date of, notice given by such Letter of Credit Issuer to the Borrower of such payment (which notice each Letter of Credit Issuer hereby agrees to give promptly after the making of any payment or disbursement under a Letter of Credit, provided that no such notice shall be required to be given if a Default or an Event of Default under Section 9.05 shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the Unpaid Drawing shall be due and payable immediately without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower)), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Letter of Credit Issuer, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date of such payment or disbursement, from and including the date paid or disbursed to but excluding the date such Letter of Credit Issuer is reimbursed therefor, at a rate per annum which shall be the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans maintained as Reference Rate Loans plus the Reference Rate as in effect from time to time (plus an additional 2% per annum if not reimbursed by the second Business Day following any such notice of payment or disbursement), such interest to be payable on demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that a Letter of Credit Issuer of a Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars has agreed in writing to such arrangement at the time of the issuance of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse any Drawing thereunder in the currency in which such Letter of Credit is denominated; provided that (x) if any such Drawing is made at a time when there exists an Event of Default or (y) if such reimbursement is not made by the close of business two Business Days after the Borrower has received notice of such Drawing, then, in either such case, such reimbursement shall instead be made in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds (with the amount of such reimbursement to be calculated as provided in Section 12.07(c)).

-17-

(b) The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.04 to reimburse each Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Unpaid Drawings (including, in each case, interest thereon) issued by it shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower or any other Person may have or have had against any Lender (including in its capacity as a Letter of Credit Issuer or as a Participant), including, without limitation, any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit (each, a “Drawing”) to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing; provided that the Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse the respective Letter of Credit Issuer for any wrongful payment made by such Letter of Credit Issuer under a Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction on the part of such Letter of Credit Issuer.

2.05 Increased Costs. If after the Fourth Restatement Effective Date, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or actual compliance by any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Participant with any request or directive made or adopted after the Fourth Restatement Effective Date (whether or not having the force of law), by any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall either (i) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer, or such Participant’s participation therein, or (ii) impose on any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Participant any other conditions affecting its obligations under this Agreement in respect of Letters of Credit or participations therein or any Letter of Credit or such Participant’s participation therein; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Participant hereunder in respect of Letters of Credit or participations therein, then, upon demand to the Borrower by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Participant, as the case may be (a copy of which notice shall be sent by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Participant such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Participant for such increased cost or reduction. A certificate submitted to the Borrower by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Participant, as the case may be (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the determination of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Participant as aforesaid shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower absent manifest error, although the failure to deliver any such certificate shall not, subject to Section 1.15, release or diminish any of the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.05 upon receipt of such certificate.

2.06 Indemnification; Nature of Letter of Credit Issuers’ Duties. (a) In addition to its other obligations under this Section 2, the Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save each of the Letter of Credit Issuers harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees but excluding those taxes excluded from the definition of Taxes in

-18-

Section 4.04) that any such Letter of Credit Issuer may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit or (ii) the failure of any Letter of Credit Issuer to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or Governmental Authority (all such acts or omissions, herein called “Government Acts”).

(b) As between the Borrower and the Letter of Credit Issuers, the Borrower shall assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuse of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. Except as expressly provided in Section 2.06(e), the Letter of Credit Issuers shall not be responsible: (i) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, that may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) for failure of the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon a Letter of Credit; (iv) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) for errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) for any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under a Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; and (vii) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Letter of Credit Issuers, including, without limitation, any Government Acts. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any of the Letter of Credit Issuers’ rights or powers hereunder.

(c) In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by any Letter of Credit Issuer, under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related certificates, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put such Letter of Credit Issuer under any resulting liability to the Borrower. It is the intention of the parties that this Agreement shall be construed and applied to protect and indemnify the Letter of Credit Issuers against any and all risks involved in the issuance of the Letters of Credit arising from any present or future Government Acts. The Letter of Credit Issuers shall not, in any way, be liable for any failure by the Letter of Credit Issuers or anyone else to pay any Drawing under any Letter of Credit as a result of any Government Acts or any other cause beyond the control of the Letter of Credit Issuers.

(d) Nothing in this Section 2.06 is intended to limit the reimbursement obligation of the Borrower contained in Section 2.04 hereof. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.06 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. No act or omission of any current or prior beneficiary of a Letter of Credit shall in any way affect or impair the rights of the Letter of Credit Issuers to enforce any right, power or benefit under this Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.06, (i) the Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify any Letter of Credit Issuer in respect of any liability incurred by such Letter of Credit Issuer arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Letter of Credit Issuer (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) and (ii) the Borrower shall have a claim

-19-

against any Letter of Credit Issuer and such Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable to the Borrower to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by (x) such Letter of Credit Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) in determining whether the documents presented under its Letter of Credit complied with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (y) such Letter of Credit Issuer’s willful or grossly negligent failure to pay under its Letter of Credit after presentation to it of a drawing certificate and any other documents strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

SECTION 3. Fees; Commitments.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the RL Lenders pro rata on the basis of their respective RL Percentages, a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit (the “Letter of Credit Fee”), computed for each day at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans maintained as Eurodollar Loans for such day multiplied by the then Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit. Such Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the date upon which the Total Revolving Loan Commitment is terminated.

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Letter of Credit Issuer a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by it (the “Facing Fee”) computed for each day at a rate per annum equal to 0.25% (or such lesser percentage as may be agreed by the Borrower and the respective Letter of Credit Issuer in any given case) multiplied by the average daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit. Such Facing Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the date upon which the Total Revolving Loan Commitment is terminated.

(c) The Borrower hereby agrees to pay directly to each Letter of Credit Issuer upon each issuance of, drawing under, and/or amendment of, a Letter of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer such amount as shall at the time of such issuance, drawing or amendment be the administrative charge which such Letter of Credit Issuer is customarily charging for issuances of, drawings under or amendments of, letters of credit issued by it.

3.02 Voluntary Reduction of Revolving Loan Commitments. Upon at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the Borrower shall have the right, without premium or penalty, to terminate Revolving Loan Commitments of the RL Lenders, in part or in whole, in an amount equal to the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment at such time (or, to the extent that at such time there are no Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans outstanding and no Letter of Credit Outstandings, to terminate all Revolving Loan Commitments, in full), provided that (x) any such termination shall apply to proportionately and permanently reduce the Revolving Loan Commitment of each of the RL Lenders and (y) any partial reduction pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall be in the amount of at least $10,000,000.

3.03 Termination of Commitments. (a) The Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall terminate on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

The Borrower shall have the right to prepay Loans of a given Tranche in whole or in part from time to time on the following terms and conditions: (i) the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to make such prepayment, whether such Loans are Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans, the amount of such prepayment and (in the case of Eurodollar Loans) the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made, which notice shall be given by the Borrower no later than (x) in the case of Reference Rate Loans, 11:00 A.M. (New York time) one Business Day prior to, (y) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, 11:00 A.M. (New York time) three Business Days prior to, and (z) in the case of Swingline Loans, 11:00 A.M.

-21-

shall be applied pro rata among such Loans, provided that at the Borrower’s election in connection with any prepayment pursuant to this Section 4.01, such prepayment shall not be applied to any Revolving Loan of a Defaulting Lender at any time when the aggregate amount of Revolving Loans of any Non-Defaulting Lender exceeds such Non-Defaulting Lender’s RL Percentage of all Revolving Loans then outstanding; and (iv) each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 4.01 shall be applied (I) first, to reduce the four immediately succeeding Scheduled Repayments (after giving effect to all prior reductions thereto) required to be made after the date of the respective prepayment pursuant to this Section 4.01 in direct order of maturity and (II) second, to the extent in excess thereof, to reduce the then remaining Scheduled Repayments on a pro rata basis (based upon the then remaining principal amount of each such Scheduled Repayment after giving effect to all prior reductions thereto).

4.02 Mandatory Prepayments. (a) If on any date the sum of the outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans and the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Outstandings (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Aggregate RL Outstandings”) exceeds the Total Revolving Commitment as then in effect, the Borrower shall repay on such date the principal of Swingline Loans and, after Swingline Loans have been paid in full, Revolving Loans, in an amount equal to such excess. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans, the Aggregate RL Outstandings exceed the Total Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount in cash equal to such excess and the Administrative Agent shall hold such payment as security for the Obligations of the Borrower hereunder (including, without limitation, obligations in respect of Letter of Credit Outstandings) pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (which shall permit certain investments in Marketable Investments reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, until the proceeds are applied to the secured obligations).

-24-

(e) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 4.02, all then outstanding Loans of a respective Tranche shall be repaid in full on the respective Maturity Date for such Tranche of Loans.

(f) Each principal repayment of Term Loans made as required by Sections 4.02(c) and (d) shall be applied to reduce the then remaining Scheduled Repayments of Term Loans on a pro rata basis (based upon the then remaining principal amounts of the Scheduled Repayments after giving effect to all prior reductions thereto).

(g) With respect to each prepayment of Loans required by this Section 4.02, the Borrower may designate the Types of Loans of the respective Tranche which are to be prepaid and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the specific Borrowing(s) of the respective Tranche pursuant to which made; provided that: (i) if any prepayment of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing under a given Tranche shall reduce the outstanding Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the applicable Minimum Borrowing Amount for such Eurodollar Loans, such Borrowing shall immediately be converted into a Borrowing of Reference Rate Loans under such Tranche; and (ii) each prepayment of any Tranche of Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Tranche of Loans. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its sole discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 1.11.

4.03 Method and Place of Payment. (a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders entitled thereto, not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date when due and shall be made in immediately available funds and in lawful money of the United States of America at the Administrative Agent’s Office, it being understood that written, telex or facsimile notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent to make a payment from the funds in the Borrower’s account at the Administrative Agent’s Office shall constitute the making of such payment to the extent of such funds held in such account. The Administrative Agent will thereafter cause to be distributed on the same day (if payment was actually received by the Administrative Agent prior to 2:00 P.M. (New York time) on such day) like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or Fees ratably to the Lenders entitled thereto. If and to the extent that any such distribution shall not be so made by the Administrative Agent in full on the same day (if payment was actually received by the Administrative Agent prior to 2:00 P.M. (New York time) on such day), the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Lender its ratable amount thereof and each such Lender shall be entitled to receive from the Administrative Agent, upon demand, interest on such amount at the overnight Federal Funds Rate for each day from the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent pays such amount to such Lender.

(b) Any payments under this Agreement which are made later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension.

-25-

4.04 Net Payments. (a) All payments made by the Borrower hereunder will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense. The Borrower will pay, prior to the date on which penalties attach thereto, all present and future income, stamp and other taxes, levies, or costs and charges whatsoever imposed, assessed, levied or collected on or in respect of a Loan and/or the recording, registration, notarization or other formalization thereof and/or any payments of principal, interest or other amounts made on or in respect of a Loan (all such taxes, levies, costs and charges being herein collectively called “Taxes”; provided that Taxes shall not include taxes imposed on or measured by the overall net income of that Lender (or any alternative tax imposed generally by any relevant jurisdiction in lieu of a tax on net income) by the United States of America or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein or taxes on or measured by the overall net income (or any alternative tax imposed generally by any relevant jurisdiction in lieu of a tax on net income) of that Lender by any foreign country or subdivision thereof pursuant to the laws of which such Lender is organized or in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located). The Borrower shall also pay such additional amounts equal to increases in taxes payable by that Lender described in the foregoing proviso which increases are attributable to payments made by the Borrower described in the immediately preceding sentence of this Section. Promptly after the date on which payment of any such Tax is due pursuant to applicable law, the Borrower will, at the request of that Lender, furnish to that Lender evidence, in form and substance satisfactory to that Lender, that the Borrower has met its obligation under this Section 4.04. The Borrower will indemnify each Lender against, and reimburse each Lender on demand for, any Taxes, as determined by that Lender in its good faith and reasonable discretion. Such Lender shall provide the Borrower with appropriate receipts for any payments or reimbursements made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.04.

(b) Each Lender which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for United States federal income tax purposes agrees to provide to the Borrower on or prior to the Fourth Restatement Effective Date, or in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 1.14 or Section 12.04 (unless the respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or transfer and such Lender is in compliance with the provisions of this Section 4.04(b)), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender, (i) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) (or successor forms) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement or any Note or (ii) if the Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) pursuant to clause (i) above, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J (any such certificate, a “Section 4.04(b)(ii) Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) (or successor form) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement or under any Note. Each Lender that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for Federal income tax purposes, but that is not a corporation (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(3) of the Code) for such purposes, agrees to provide to the Borrower on or prior to the Fourth Restatement

-26-

Effective Date, or in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 1.14 or Section 12.04 (unless the respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or transfer and such Lender is in compliance with the provisions of this Section 4.04(b)), on the date of such assignment to such Lender, two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor form). In addition, each such Lender agrees that from time to time after the Fourth Restatement Effective Date, when a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, it will deliver to the Borrower two new accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN (with respect to a claim for benefits of an income tax treaty) or Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) and a Section 4.04(b)(ii) Certificate, as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement or any Note, or it shall immediately notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to deliver any such form. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 4.04(a), (x) the Borrower shall be entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by law, to deduct or withhold income or other similar taxes imposed by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from interest, fees or other amounts payable hereunder for the account of any Lender which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for United States federal income tax purposes and which has not provided to the Borrower such forms that establish a complete exemption from such deduction or withholding and (y) the Borrower shall not be obligated pursuant to Section 4.04(a) to pay a Lender in respect of income or similar taxes imposed by the United States or any additional amounts with respect thereto if such Lender has not provided to the Borrower the Internal Revenue Service forms required to be provided to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.04(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding sentence or elsewhere in this Section 4.04, the Borrower agrees to pay additional amounts and to indemnify each Lender in the manner set forth in Section 4.04(a) (without regard to the identity of the jurisdiction requiring the deduction or withholding) in respect of any amounts deducted or withheld by it as described in the immediately preceding sentence as a result of any changes after the Fourth Restatement Effective Date in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting or withholding of income or similar taxes.

(c) If the Borrower pays any additional amount under this Section 4.04 to a Lender and such Lender determines in its sole discretion that it has actually received or realized in connection therewith any refund or any reduction of, or credit against, its Tax liabilities in or with respect to the taxable year in which the additional amount is paid (a “Tax Benefit”), such Lender shall pay to the Borrower an amount that the Lender shall, in its sole discretion, determine is equal to the net benefit, after tax, which was obtained by the Lender in such year as a consequence of such Tax Benefit; provided, however, that (i) any Lender may determine, in its sole discretion consistent with the policies of such Lender, whether to seek a Tax Benefit; (ii) any Taxes that are imposed on a Lender as a result of a disallowance or reduction (including through the expiration of any tax credit carryover or carryback of such Lender that otherwise would not have expired) of any Tax Benefit with respect to which such Lender has made a payment to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.04(c) shall be treated as a Tax for which the Borrower is obligated to indemnify such Lender pursuant to this Section 4.04 without any

-27-

exclusions or defenses; (iii) subject to Section 12.15, nothing in this Section 4.04(c) shall require the Lender to disclose any confidential information to the Borrower (including, without limitation, its tax returns); and (iv) no Lender shall be required to pay any amounts pursuant to this Section 4.04(c) at any time when a Default or Event of Default exists. If in the reasonable opinion of the Borrower, any amount has been paid to, by or on behalf of any Lender pursuant to this Section 4.04 with respect to Taxes which are not correctly or legally asserted, such Lender will (subject, however, to the immediately succeeding proviso and the limitations described in the immediately preceding sentence) cooperate in good faith with the Borrower in identifying any purported Tax Benefit, provided that the rendering of any such cooperation by such Lender would not cause such Lender to incur any out of pocket expense (which is not otherwise paid in full by Borrower prior to or at the time such expense is incurred).

The Lenders agree to indemnify each Lead Agent in its capacity as such ratably according to the sum of their outstanding Term Loans and their aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments (or, if the Total Revolving Loan Commitment has been terminated, their aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments as in effect immediately prior to such termination), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, reasonable expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Lead Agent in its capacity as such in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Lead Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing, but only to the extent that any of the foregoing is not paid by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that no Lender shall be liable to any Lead Agent for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from such Lead Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). If any indemnity furnished to any Lead Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Lead Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Lead Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished. The agreements in this Section 11.07 shall survive the payment of all Obligations.

11.08 Lead Agents in Their Individual Capacities. Each Lead Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower and/or any of its Subsidiaries as though such Lead Agent were not a Lead Agent hereunder. With respect to the Loans made by it, Letters of Credit issued by it and all Obligations owing to it, each Lead Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and each other Credit Document as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not a Lead Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Lead Agent in its individual capacity.

11.09 Successor Lead Agents, etc. (a) Each Lead Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents (including, without limitation, its functions and duties as Collateral Agent) at any time by giving 30 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and, unless a Default or an Event of Default under Section 9.05 then exists, the Borrower. Any such resignation by a Lead Agent hereunder shall also constitute its resignation (if applicable) as a Letter of Credit Issuer and the Swingline Lender, in which case the resigning Lead Agent (x) shall not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit or make any additional Swingline Loans hereunder and (y) shall maintain all of its rights as Letter of Credit Issuer or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by it, or Swingline Loans made by it, prior to the date of such resignation. Such resignation shall take effect upon (i) in the case of the Lead Agent serving

-105-

as Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below and (ii) in the case of any other Lead Agent, on such 30^th Business Day following delivery of the notice described above.

(b) Upon any such notice of resignation by a Lead Agent then serving as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Lead Agent hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents to act in such capacities which shall be a commercial bank or trust company acceptable to the Borrower, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that the Borrower’s approval shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists).

(c) If a successor Lead Agent shall not have been so appointed within such 30 Business Day period as contemplated by preceding clause (b), the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists), shall then appoint a successor Lead Agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Lead Agent to act in such capacities as provided above.

(d) If no successor Lead Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c) above by the 30th Business Day after the date such notice of resignation was given by such Lead Agent, such Lead Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of such Lead Agent hereunder and/or under any other Credit Document until such time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a successor Lead Agent as provided above.

(e) Upon a resignation of any Lead Agent pursuant to this Section 11.09, such Lead Agent shall remain indemnified to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the provisions of this Section 11 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Lead Agent for all of its actions and inactions while serving as such Lead Agent.

SECTION 12. Miscellaneous.

12.01 Payment of Expenses, etc. (a) The Borrower agrees to: (i) pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of (x) the Agents, whether or not the transactions herein contemplated are consummated, in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of the Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to therein and any amendment, waiver or consent relating thereto (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of White & Case LLP), (y) each Letter of Credit Issuer incurred in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (z) each Lead Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer, the Swingline Lender and each of the Lenders in connection with the enforcement of or protection of its rights under the Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to therein (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for each Lead Agent and for each of the Lenders incurred during any workout, restructuring or

-106-

negotiations in respect of any Credit Event); (ii) pay and hold each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all present and future stamp and other similar taxes with respect to the foregoing matters and save each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission (other than to the extent attributable to such Lender) to pay such taxes; and (iii) indemnify each Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer, the Swingline Lender and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the Transaction or any other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Letter of Credit Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claims, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless any Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer, the Swingline Lender or any Lender set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

(b) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to any Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Letter of Credit Issuer or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s proportional share (determined (x) using such Lender’s respective “percentage” as used in determining the Required Lenders as if there were no Defaulting Lenders and (y) as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claims, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Letter of Credit Issuer or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such.

(c) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Credit Document or any agreement or instrument

-107-

contemplated thereby, the Transaction, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(d) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

12.02 Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to any Credit Party or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) and any other obligations at any time held or owing by such Lender of Affiliate (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies of such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against and on account of the Obligations and liabilities of such Credit Party to such Lender under this Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in Obligations of such Credit Party purchased by such Lender pursuant to Section 12.06(b), and all other claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although said Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

12.03 Notices. (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein (including Section 12.03(b) below), all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telegraphic, telex, facsimile transmission or cable communication) and mailed, telegraphed, telexed, telecopied, cabled or delivered, if to a Credit Party, at the address specified opposite its signature below or in the other relevant Credit Documents, as the case may be; if to any Lender, at its address specified for such Lender on Annex II hereto or its Administrative Questionnaire; or, at such other address as shall be designated by any party in a written notice to the other parties hereto. All such notices and communications shall be telegraphed, telexed, telecopied, or cabled or sent by overnight courier, and shall be effective when received.

(b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Sections 1, 2, 3 or 4 unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

12.04 Benefit of Agreement. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto, provided that (i) the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its interests hereunder,

-108-

except to the extent any such assignment results from the consummation of a transaction permitted under Section 8.02, without the prior written consent of each of the Lenders (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) the rights of each Lender to transfer, assign or grant participations in its rights and/or obligations hereunder shall be limited as set forth below in this Section 12.04. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this Section 12.04, any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and including further, in the case of any Lender that is a fund, all or any portion of its Notes of Loans to its trustee or to a collateral agent or to another creditor providing credit or credit support to such Lender in support of its obligations to such trustee, such collateral agent or a holder of, or any other representative of a holder of, such obligations, or such other creditor, as the case may be, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided however that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(b) Each Lender shall have the right to transfer, assign or grant participations in all or any part of its remaining rights and obligations hereunder on the basis set forth below in this clause (b).

(A) Assignments. At any time, each Lender may assign pursuant to an Assignment Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto (each, an “Assignment Agreement”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all or a portion of any of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) pursuant to this clause (b)(A) to one or more Lenders and/or their affiliates and/or one or more Eligible Transferees, in any such case with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Significant Letter of Credit Issuer, provided that (x) the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee and (y) no consent of the Administrative Agent, any Significant Letter of Credit Issuer or the Borrower shall be required for any assignment of Term Loans. Each assignment shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(I) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund of a Lender, or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment or Loans of any Tranche, the amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment or Loans of each Tranche of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than (x) $1,000,000 in the case of Term Loans and (y) $5,000,000 in the case of Revolving Loan Commitments (and related Obligations), unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(II) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided

-109-

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

(III) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

Any assignment to another Lender pursuant to this clause (b)(A) will become effective upon the payment to the Administrative Agent by (I) either the assigning or the assignee Lender or (II) in the case of an assignment pursuant to Section 1.14, the Replacement Lender, of a nonrefundable assignment fee of $3,500, the satisfaction of clause (III) of the preceding sentence (if applicable), the receipt of any written consents to such assignment required above and the recording by the Administrative Agent of such assignment, and the resultant effects thereof on the Commitments and outstanding Loans of the assigning Lender and the assignee Lender, in the Register, the Administrative Agent hereby agreeing to effect such recordation no later than five Business Days after its receipt of a written notification by the assigning Lender and the assignee Lender of the proposed assignment, provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to (but may if it so elects) so record any assignment in the Register on or after the date on which any proposed amendment, modification or supplement in respect of this Agreement has been circulated to the Lenders for approval until the earlier of (x) the effectiveness of such amendment, modification or supplement in accordance with Section 12.12(a) or (y) 30 days following the date on which such proposed amendment, modification or supplement was circulated to the Lenders. Upon the effectiveness of any assignment pursuant to this clause (b)(A), (x) the assignee will become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with a Commitment and/or outstanding Loans as so recorded by the Administrative Agent in the Register, and to the extent of such assignment, the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to the portion of its Commitment and/or Loans being assigned, (y) Annex I shall be deemed to be amended to reflect the Commitment and outstanding Loans of the respective assignee and of the other Lenders and (z) the Borrower shall issue new Notes (in exchange for the Note of the assigning Lender) to the assigning Lender (to the extent such Lender’s Commitment or outstanding Loans, as the case may be, are not reduced to zero as a result of such assignment) and to the assignee Lender, in each case to the extent requested by the assigning Lender or assignee Lender, as the case may be, in conformity with the requirements of Section 1.05 to the extent needed to reflect the revised Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of such Lenders. The Administrative Agent will (x) notify each Letter of Credit Issuer within 5 Business Days of the effectiveness of any assignment hereunder and (y) prepare on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter during which an assignment has become effective pursuant to this clause (b)(A) a new Annex I giving effect to all such assignments effected during such quarter and will promptly provide same to the Borrower and each of the Lenders. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(B) Participations. Each Lender may transfer, grant or assign participations in all or any part of such Lender’s interests and obligations hereunder pursuant to this clause (b)(B) to any Eligible Transferee, provided that (i) such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and the transferee of such participation shall not constitute a Lender hereunder

-110-

and (ii) no participant under any such participation shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (u) extend the scheduled final maturity of any Loan, Commitment or Note, or any portion thereof, in which such participant is participating, (v) reduce the interest rate or extend the time of payment of interest (other than as a result of waiving the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or Fees applicable to any of the Loans, Commitments or Letters of Credit or reduce the principal amount thereof, (w) release Xxxxxxxx Tobacco from its Guaranty, (x) at any time Collateral is pledged pursuant to the Security Documents release (other than pursuant to the automatic release provided for in Section 7.10 or as otherwise expressly permitted by the Security Documents) all or substantially all of the Collateral, (y) amend, modify or waive any provision of this clause (B) (other than technical amendments which do not adversely affect the rights of any Lender) or (z) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement. In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against the granting Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement with such Lender creating such participation) and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation, provided that such participant shall be entitled to receive additional amounts under Sections 1.10, 1.11, 2.05 and 4.04 on the same basis as if it were a Lender. In addition, each agreement creating any participation must include an agreement by the participant to be bound by the provisions of Section 12.15.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 12.04, no transfer or assignment of the interests or obligations of any Lender hereunder or any grant of participations therein shall be permitted if such transfer, assignment or grant would require the Borrower or any Guarantor to file a registration statement with the SEC or to qualify the Loans under the “Blue Sky” laws of any State.

(b) Each Lender initially party to this Agreement hereby represents, and each Person that becomes a Lender pursuant to an assignment permitted by the preceding clause (b)(A) will upon its becoming party to this Agreement represent, that it is an Eligible Transferee which makes loans in the ordinary course of its business and that it will make or acquire Loans for its own account in the ordinary course of such business, provided that, subject to the preceding clauses (a) through (c), the disposition of any promissory notes or other evidences of or interests in Indebtedness held by such Lender shall at all times be within its exclusive control.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (each, an “SPC”) of such Granting Lender, identified as such in writing from time to time by the respective Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Revolving Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to Section 1.01(a), provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment to make any Revolving Loan by any SPC and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the respective Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Revolving Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Revolving Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Revolving Loan Commitment of the respective Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Revolving

-111-

Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (x) no SPC shall be liable for any payment under this Agreement for which a Lender would otherwise be liable and (y) the Granting Lender for any SPC shall be (and hereby agrees that it is) liable for any payment under this Agreement for which the SPC would be liable in the absence of preceding clause (x). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or similar proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12.04, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to its Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (if consented to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit facilities to or for the account of such SPC to fund the Revolving Loans made by such SPC or to support the securities (if any) issued by such SPC to fund such Revolving Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of a surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

(f) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one its offices a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and Unpaid Drawings owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Letter of Credit Issuer and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

12.05 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Lead Agent, the Administrative Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between any Credit Party and any Lead Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Swingline Lender, any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any Lead Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Swingline Lender, any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender would otherwise have. 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 or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Lead Agents, the Collateral Agent, the Swingline Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuers or the Lenders to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section

-112-

12.12(a), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality for the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time.

12.06 Payments Pro Rata. (a) The Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of any Credit Party in respect of any Obligations of such Credit Party, it shall, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, distribute such payment to the Lenders pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.

(b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or Lender’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise) which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans or Fees, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligations then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligations then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash (without recourse or warranty) from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of the respective Credit Party to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all of the Lenders in such amount; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

12.07 Calculations; Computations. (a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders) pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent); provided that, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all computations determining compliance with Section 8, including definitions used therein, shall utilize accounting principles and policies in effect at the time of the preparation of, and in conformity with those used to prepare, the financial statements for the fiscal year of the Borrower ended December 31, 2005 delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 7.01(b), provided that in the event GAAP shall be modified from that in effect at the time of the preparation of such financial statements, the Borrower shall be entitled to utilize GAAP, as so modified, for purposes of such computations to the extent that (x) the Borrower gives the Administrative Agent 30 days’ prior written notice of such proposed modification and (y) prior thereto the Borrower and the Lead Agents shall have agreed upon adjustments, if any, to Sections 8.05, 8.07, 8.08 and 8.13 (and the definitions used therein), the sole purpose of which shall be to give effect to such proposed change (it being understood and agreed that to the extent that the Borrower and the Lead Agents cannot agree on appropriate adjustments to such Sections (or that no adjustments are necessary), the proposed change may not be effected); and provided, further, that if at any time the computations determining compliance with Section 8 (and the definitions used therein) utilize accounting principles different from those utilized in the financial statements furnished to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement, such

-113-

financial statements shall be accompanied by reconciliation work-sheets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of the computations determining compliance with Section 8, all expenses and other charges arising from any settlement of tobacco liability which are required by GAAP to be retroactively applied to a previous fiscal quarter of the Borrower shall instead be accrued in the fiscal quarter in which such expenses and charges occur.

(b) All computations of interest and Fees hereunder shall be made on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days (or in the case of Reference Rate Loans determined by reference to the Base Rate, 365/366 days).

(c) All determinations of the Stated Amount of Letters of Credit and of the principal amount of Unpaid Drawings, in each case to the extent denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, shall be made by converting same into U.S. Dollars at (x) if a Currency Agreement has been entered into by the Borrower and/or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with such Indebtedness, and is in effect at the time of such determination, the rate provided in such Currency Agreement, provided that this clause (x) shall not be applicable (I) unless the Administrative Agent has received sufficient information from the Borrower to determine the exchange rate established by such Currency Agreement and the duration thereof, or (II) to any determination of the Borrower’s obligation to reimburse in U.S. Dollars a Drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, (y) in the case of a determination of the Borrower’s obligation to reimburse in U.S. Dollars a Drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, the spot exchange rate for the currency in question of the Letter of Credit Issuer on the date of such Drawing or (z) if the provisions of the foregoing clauses (x) and (y) are not applicable, the “official” exchange rate, if applicable, or the spot exchange rate for the currency in question calculated by the Administrative Agent on the last Business Day of the month then last ended preceding the date on which any such determination is being made and at such other times as the Administrative Agent elects to make such determination, it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to make any such other determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and each Letter of Credit Issuer of its determinations hereunder.

12.08 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Venue. (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN CERTAIN SECURITY DOCUMENTS EXPRESSLY PROVIDING OTHERWISE) AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any Lead Agent, the Collateral Agent, any

-114-

Letter of Credit Issuer, the Swingline Lender or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section.

SECTION 13. Borrower Guaranty.

13.01 The Guaranty. In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit hereunder, to induce the Credit Card Issuers to enter into and/or maintain Secured Credit Card Agreements, to induce the Lenders or any of their respective affiliates to enter into Hedging Agreements and to induce Calyon to maintain the Existing Interest Rate Swap Agreement and, in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by the Borrower from the proceeds of the Loans, the issuance of the Letters of Credit and the entering into and/or maintenance of Secured Credit Card Agreements and Hedging Agreements, the Borrower hereby agrees as follows: the Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors. If any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors becomes due and payable hereunder, the Borrower unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Guaranteed Creditors, or order, on demand, together with any and all expenses which may be incurred by the Guaranteed Creditors in collecting any of the Guaranteed Obligations. This Borrower Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. This Borrower Guaranty is a continuing one and all liabilities to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. If claim is ever made upon any Guaranteed Creditor for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and any of the aforesaid payees repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such payee with any such claimant (including any Guaranteed Party), then and in such event the Borrower agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon the Borrower, notwithstanding any revocation of this Borrower Guaranty or any other instrument evidencing any liability of any other Guaranteed Party, and the Borrower shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee.

13.02 Bankruptcy. Additionally, the Borrower unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the payment of any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors whether or not due or payable by any Guaranteed Party upon the occurrence of any of the events

-121-

specified in Section 9.05, and unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Guaranteed Creditors, or order, on demand.

13.03 Nature of Liability. The liability of the Borrower hereunder is exclusive and independent of any guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations whether executed by the Borrower, any other guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of the Borrower hereunder is not affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by any Guaranteed Party or by any other party, or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Guaranteed Obligations, or (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, or (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by any Guaranteed Party, or (e) any payment made to the Guaranteed Creditors on the Guaranteed Obligations which any such Guaranteed Creditor repays to any Guaranteed Party pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and the Borrower waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding, or (f) any action or inaction of the type described in Section 13.05, or (g) the lack of validity or enforceability of any Credit Document or any other instrument relating thereto.

13.04 Independent Obligation. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations shall affect, impair or be a defense to this Borrower Guaranty, and this Borrower Guaranty shall be primary, absolute and unconditional notwithstanding the occurrence of any event or the existence of any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor except payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower. The obligations of the Borrower hereunder are independent of the obligations of any Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other Person and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Borrower whether or not action is brought against any Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other Person and whether or not any Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other Person be joined in any such action or actions. The Borrower waives, to the full extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by any Guaranteed Party with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to such Guaranteed Party shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to the Borrower.

13.05 Authorization. The Borrower authorizes the Guaranteed Creditors without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to:

(i) change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of the Guaranteed Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the rate of interest thereon) or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and this Borrower Guaranty made shall apply to the Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed, increased or altered;

-122-

(ii) take and hold security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and sell, exchange, release, impair, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset thereagainst;

(iii) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any Guaranteed Party or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

(iv) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, any Guaranteed Party or other obligors;

(v) settle or compromise any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of any Guaranteed Party to their respective creditors other than the Guaranteed Creditors;

(vi) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of any Guaranteed Party to the Guaranteed Creditors regardless of what liability or liabilities of such Guaranteed Party remain unpaid;

(vii) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, this Agreement, any other Credit Document, any Secured Credit Card Agreement, any Hedging Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein or therein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement this Agreement, any other Credit Document, any Secured Credit Card Agreement, any Hedging Agreement or any of such other instruments or agreements; and/or

(viii) take any other action which would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower from its liabilities under this Borrower Guaranty.

13.06 Reliance. It is not necessary for the Guaranteed Creditors to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Party or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any Guaranteed Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder by the Borrower.

13.07 Subordination. Any of the indebtedness of any Guaranteed Party now or hereafter owing to the Borrower is hereby subordinated to the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guaranteed Party owing to the Guaranteed Creditors; and if the Administrative Agent so requests at a time when an Event of Default exists, all such indebtedness of such Guaranteed Party to the Borrower shall be collected, enforced and received by the Borrower for the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors and be paid over to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Guaranteed Creditors on account of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guaranteed Party to the Guaranteed Creditors, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of the Borrower under the other provisions of this Borrower Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by the Borrower to any

-123-

Person (other than a Subsidiary Guarantor) of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any of the indebtedness of any Guaranteed Party to the Borrower, the Borrower shall xxxx such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower hereby agrees with the Guaranteed Creditors that it will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Borrower Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until all Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash.

13.08 Waiver. (a) Each Borrower waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require any Guaranteed Creditor to (i) proceed against any Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Party, any other guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in any Guaranteed Creditor’s power whatsoever. The Borrower waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, other than payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations, based on or arising out of the disability of any Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Guaranteed Party other than payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guaranteed Creditors may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Guaranteed Creditors may have against any Guaranteed Party or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of the Borrower hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower have been paid in full in cash. The Borrower waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Guaranteed Creditors, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the Borrower against any Guaranteed Party or any other party or any security.

(b) The Borrower waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including, without limitation, notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Borrower Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation, modification or incurring of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations. The Borrower assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Guaranteed Party’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which the Borrower assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that the Guaranteed Creditors shall have no duty to advise the Borrower of information known to it regarding such circumstances or risks.

(c) Until such time as the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash, the Borrower hereby waives all rights of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Borrower Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise) to the claims of the Guaranteed Creditors against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations and all contractual, statutory or common law rights of

-124-

reimbursement, contribution or indemnity from any Guaranteed Party or any other guarantor which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Borrower Guaranty.

13.09 Payments. All payments made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 13 shall be made in U.S. Dollars. All payments made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 13 will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense, and shall be subject to the payment provisions applicable to the Borrower in Sections 4.03 and 4.04.
