If the Administrative Agent shall fail to obtain consent to any request for an additional currency under this Section 1.08, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Company and Credit Extensions in such requested additional currency shall not be permitted hereunder.

1.09 Change of Currency.

a) Each obligation of the Borrowers to make a payment denominated in the national currency unit of any member state of the European Union that adopts the Euro as its lawful currency after the date hereof shall be redenominated into Euro at the time of such adoption (in accordance with the EMU Legislation). If, in relation to the currency of any such member state,

-53-

the basis of accrual of interest expressed in this Agreement in respect of that currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the London interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or practice with effect from the date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency; provided that if any Committed Borrowing in the currency of such member state is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such Committed Borrowing, at the end of the then current Interest Period.

b) Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time in consultation with the Company specify to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the Euro.

c) Each provision of this Agreement also shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify in consultation with the Company to be appropriate to reflect a change in currency of any other country and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the change in currency,

d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no change of construction pursuant to this Section 1.09 shall reduce or increase any actual or contingent liability arising under this Agreement.

2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Committed Loans.

a) Each Committed Borrowing, each conversion of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans shall be made upon the Company’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans denominated in Dollars or of any conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans denominated in Dollars to Base Rate Committed Loans, (ii) three Business Days (or four Business Days in the case of Australian Dollars, New Zealand Dollars or Yen and four or five Business Days in the case of any other Special Notice Currency, as determined by the Administrative Agent and specified to the Company) prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies, and (iii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Committed Loans; provided, however, that if the Company wishes to request Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans for a Tranche having an Interest Period other than one, two, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period,” the applicable notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) four Business Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans denominated in Dollars, or (ii) four Business Days (or five Business Days in the case of Australian Dollars, New Zealand Dollars or Yen and five or six Business Days in the case of any other Special Notice Currency, as determined by the Administrative Agent and specified to the Company) prior to the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Lenders of such Tranche of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them. Not later than 11:00 a.m., (i) three Business Days before the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans denominated in Dollars, or (ii) three Business Days (or four Business Days in the case of Australian Dollars, New Zealand Dollars or Yen and four or five Business Days in the case of any other Special Notice Currency, as determined by the Administrative Agent and specified to the Company) prior to the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the

-56-

requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the Lenders of such Tranche. Each telephonic notice by the Company pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Sections 2.04(c) and 2.05(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Committed Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Company is requesting a Committed Borrowing, a conversion of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Committed Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type and Tranche of Committed Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Committed Loans are to be converted, (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto, (vi) the currency of the Committed Loans to be borrowed and (vii) if applicable, the Designated Borrower. If the Company fails to specify a currency in a Committed Loan Notice requesting a Borrowing, then the Committed Loans so requested shall be made in Dollars. If the Company fails to specify a Tranche of a Committed Loan in a Committed Loan Notice, then the Committed Loans so requested shall be deemed to be a request for a Committed Borrowing under the U.S. Dollar Tranche if the request is for a Committed Borrowing in Dollars, the Alternative Currency Tranche if the request is for a Committed Borrowing in an Alternative Currency (other than New Zealand Dollars), the New Zealand Dollar Tranche if the request is for a Committed Borrowing in New Zealand Dollars and the Supplemental Tranche if the request is for a Committed Borrowing in a Supplemental Currency. If the Company fails to specify a Type of Committed Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Company fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Committed Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans; provided, however, that in the case of a failure to timely request a continuation of Committed Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, such Loans shall be continued as Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans in their original currency with an Interest Period of one month. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans. If the Company requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. No Committed Loan may be converted into or continued as a Committed Loan denominated in a different currency or in a different Tranche, but instead must be prepaid in the original currency of such Committed Loan and reborrowed in the other currency or reborrowed in another Tranche to the extent permitted herein.

b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the applicable Tranche of the amount (and currency) of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Committed Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Company, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or continuation of Committed Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, in each case as described in the preceding subsection. In the case of a Committed Borrowing, each Lender shall make the

-57-

amount of its Committed Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the applicable currency not later than 1:00 p.m., in the case of any Committed Loan denominated in Dollars, and not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of any Committed Loan in an Alternative Currency, in each case on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Company or the other applicable Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the such Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Company; provided, however, that if, on the date the Committed Loan Notice with respect to such Borrowing denominated in Dollars is given by the Company, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second, shall be made available to the applicable Borrower as provided above.

c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan. During the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as, Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans (whether in Dollars or any Alternative Currency) without the consent of the Required Lenders, and the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency be converted into Base Rate Loans in such Alternative Currency on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto.

d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders of any change in Bank of America’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

e) After giving effect to all Committed Borrowings, all conversions of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Committed Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than 20 Interest Periods in effect with respect to Committed Loans.

2.03 Bid Loans.

a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, on the first date on which the Company shall have Investment Grade Status and thereafter for so long as the Company has an Investment Grade Debt Rating, each Lender agrees that the Company may from time to time request the Lenders to submit offers to make loans (each such loan, a “Bid Loan”) to the Borrowers prior to the Maturity Date pursuant to this Section 2.03; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Bid Borrowing, (i) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Bid Loans shall not exceed the Bid Loan Sublimit. There shall not be more than ten different Interest Periods in effect with respect to Bid Loans at any time. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company may not request Bid Loans if it does not have an Investment Grade Debt Rating.

Each Bid Request shall specify (i) the requested date of the Bid Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Bid Loans requested (which must be $10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof), (iii) the Type of Bid Loans requested, (iv) the currency in which the requested Bid Loans are to be denominated and (v) the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto, and shall be signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company. No Bid Request shall contain a request for (i) more than one Type of Bid Loan or (ii) Bid Loans having more than three different Interest Periods. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees in its sole discretion, the Company may not submit a Bid Request if it has submitted another Bid Request within the prior five Business Days.

c) Submitting Competitive Bids.

(i) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of each Bid Request received by it from the Company and the contents of such Bid Request.

(ii) Each Lender may (but shall have no obligation to) submit a Competitive Bid containing an offer to make one or more Bid Loans in response to such Bid Request.

Each Competitive Bid shall specify (A) the proposed date of the Bid Borrowing, (B) the principal amount of each Bid Loan for which such Competitive Bid is being made, which principal amount (x) may be equal to, greater than or less than the Commitment of the bidding Lender, (y) must be $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and (z) may not exceed the principal amount of Bid Loans for which Competitive Bids were requested, (C) if the proposed Bid Borrowing is to consist of Absolute Rate Bid Loans, the Absolute Rate offered for each such Bid Loan and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (D) if the proposed Bid Borrowing is to consist of Eurocurrency Margin Bid Loans, the Eurocurrency Bid Margin with respect to each such Eurocurrency Margin Bid Loan and the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (E) the identity of the bidding Lender.

Any Lender may correct a Competitive Bid containing a manifest error by submitting a corrected Competitive Bid (identified as such) not later than the applicable time required for submission of Competitive Bids. Any such submission of a corrected Competitive Bid shall constitute a revocation of the Competitive Bid that contained the manifest error. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, notify any Lender of any manifest error it detects in such Lender’s Competitive Bid.

(iv) Subject only to the provisions of Sections 3.02, 3.03 and 4.02 and clause (iii) above, each Competitive Bid shall be irrevocable.

d) Notice to Company of Competitive Bids. Not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) on the requested date of any Bid Borrowing that is to consist of Absolute Rate Loans, or (ii) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Bid Borrowing that is to consist of Eurocurrency Margin Bid Loans, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company of the identity of each Lender that has submitted a Competitive Bid that complies with Section 2.03(c) and of the terms of the offers contained in each such Competitive Bid.

e) Acceptance of Competitive Bids. Not later than 11:30 a.m. (i) on the requested date of any Bid Borrowing that is to consist of Absolute Rate Loans, and (ii) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Bid Borrowing that is to consist of Eurocurrency Margin Bid Loans, the Company (on behalf of itself or the relevant Borrower) shall notify the Administrative Agent of its acceptance or rejection of the offers notified to it pursuant to Section 2.03(d). The Company (on behalf of itself or the relevant Borrower) shall be under no obligation to accept any Competitive Bid and may choose to reject all Competitive Bids. In the case of acceptance, such notice shall specify the aggregate principal amount of Competitive Bids for each Interest Period that is accepted.

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

(ii) the principal amount of each Bid Loan must be $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof;

-60-

f) Procedure for Identical Bids. If two or more Lenders have submitted Competitive Bids at the same Absolute Rate or Eurocurrency Bid Margin, as the case may be, for the same Interest Period, and the result of accepting all of such Competitive Bids in whole (together with any other Competitive Bids at lower Absolute Rates or Eurocurrency Bid Margins, as the case may be, accepted for such Interest Period in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.03(e)(iii)) would be to cause the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the applicable Bid Borrowing to exceed the amount specified therefor in the related Bid Request, then, unless otherwise agreed by the Company, the Administrative Agent and such Lenders, such Competitive Bids shall be accepted as nearly as possible in proportion to the amount offered by each such Lender in respect of such Interest Period, with such accepted amounts being rounded to the nearest whole multiple of $1,000,000.

g) Notice to Lenders of Acceptance or Rejection of Bids. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender having submitted a Competitive Bid whether or not its offer has been accepted and, if its offer has been accepted, of the amount of the Bid Loan or Bid Loans to be made by it on the date of the applicable Bid Borrowing. Any Competitive Bid or portion thereof that is not accepted by the Company by the applicable time specified in Section 2.03(e) shall be deemed rejected.

h) Notice of Eurocurrency Base Rate. If any Bid Borrowing is to consist of Eurocurrency Margin Loans, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Eurocurrency Base Rate for the relevant Interest Period, and promptly after making such determination, shall notify the Company and the Lenders that will be participating in such Bid Borrowing of such Eurocurrency Base Rate.

i) Funding of Bid Loans. Each Lender that has received notice pursuant to Section 2.03(g) that all or a portion of its Competitive Bid has been accepted by the Company shall make the amount of its Bid Loan(s) available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the requested Bid Borrowing.

(iii) The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day), (B) the amount and currency thereof (which shall be in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) and the Tranche (which shall be a Letter of Credit Tranche) under which such Letter of Credit shall be issued, (C) the expiry date thereof, (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder, (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder, (G) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit, and (H) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended, (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day), (C) the nature of the proposed amendment, and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, the Company shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Company and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue the applicable Letter of Credit for the account of the Company (or the applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(iii) If the Company so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided

-64-

that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. The Company shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date (or such later date if the Company provides Cash Collateral in accordance with Section 2.17); provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.04(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Company that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

(iv) If the Company so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that permits the automatic reinstatement of all or a portion of the stated amount thereof after any drawing thereunder (each, an “Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit”). Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Company shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer to permit such reinstatement. Once an Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit has been issued, except as provided in the following sentence, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to reinstate all or a portion of the stated amount thereof in accordance with the provisions of such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit permits the L/C Issuer to decline to reinstate all or any portion of the stated amount thereof after a drawing thereunder by giving notice of such non-reinstatement within a specified number of days after such drawing (the “Non-Reinstatement Deadline”), the L/C Issuer shall not permit such reinstatement if it has received a notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Reinstatement Deadline from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Company that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied (treating such reinstatement as an L/C Credit Extension for purposes of this clause) and, in each case, directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such reinstatement.

(v) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

-65-

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Company, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent thereof. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Company shall reimburse the L/C Issuer in Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Company of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Company shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing in Dollars. If the Company does not reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (expressed in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency) (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, the Company shall be deemed to have requested a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.04(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the L/C Issuer in Dollars at the Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar-denominated payments in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Honor Date, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.04(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Committed Loan to the Company in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not (x) fully refinanced by a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason or (y) otherwise reimbursed by the Company on the Honor Date, the Company shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and, subject to Section 2.09(b), shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.04.

-66-

(iv) Until each Lender funds its Committed Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.

(v) Each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.04(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Company of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Company to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in the relevant Committed Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.04(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Company or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in Dollars and in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

-67-

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer, which has been distributed to Lenders, pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Company to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Company or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such 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; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;

(v) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to the Company or any Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally; or

(vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Company or any Subsidiary.

-68-

The Company shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Company’s instructions or other irregularity, the Company will notify the L/C Issuer within five Business Days. The Company shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Company agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties or any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Company hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Company’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any of their respective Related Parties or any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.04(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Company, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Company which the Company proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

g) Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Company when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit.

h) Letter of Credit Fees. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender of a Tranche in accordance with its Applicable Percentage for such Tranche, in Dollars, a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit under such Tranche equal to the Applicable Rate times the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit; provided, however, the Company shall not have to pay any Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender

-69-

with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.04, except (x) to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Applicable Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.18(a)(iv), and (y) to the extent allocable to the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure in respect of such Defaulting Lender, to the L/C Issuer for its own account. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Maturity Date and thereafter on demand and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

i) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The Company shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account, in Dollars, a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by it, at the rate per annum specified in the applicable Fee Letter, computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the tenth Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount, in Dollars, of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. In addition, the Company shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable by the Company within 15 days following receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor and are nonrefundable.

j) Conflict with Issuer Documents. To the extent the terms of any Issuer Document are inconsistent with, or impose additional material obligations not otherwise set forth herein, the terms of the Loan Documents shall control for such time as the Loan Documents remain in effect.

k) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Company shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Company hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Company, and that the Company’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

l) Letters of Credit Issued under Particular Tranche; Changes in the Letter of Credit Sublimit with respect to any Letter of Credit Tranche. Each Letter of Credit may only be issued

-70-

under a Letter of Credit Tranche. Letters of Credit may not be issued under any other Tranche. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 2.04 shall, as to any particular Letter of Credit, be applied only to the Tranche under which it was issued and not under any other Tranche, subject to the provisions of Section 2.14. The Company may from time to time increase or decrease the Letter of Credit Sublimit with respect to a Letter of Credit Tranche (but not any other Tranche) by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer specifying (i) the revised Letter of Credit Sublimit for each such Letter of Credit Tranche, which shall be in a whole multiple of $1,000,000, and (ii) the effective date of such change, which shall be a Business Day at least two Business Days after the delivery of such notice, provided, however, (i) the aggregate Letter of Credit Sublimit for all Letter of Credit Tranches shall not exceed $100,000,000 and (ii) the Letter of Credit Sublimit with respect to any Letter of Credit Tranche shall not exceed the aggregate Commitments for such Tranche and shall not be less than the then Outstanding Amount of Letters of Credit issued under such Tranche.

2.05 Swing Line Loans.

a) The Domestic Swing Line.

(i) The Domestic Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Domestic Swing Line Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.05, agrees to make loans in Dollars (each such loan, a “Domestic Swing Line Loan”) to the Company from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Domestic Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Domestic Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of U.S. Dollar Committed Loans and U.S. Dollar L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Domestic Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s U.S. Dollar Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Domestic Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the U.S. Dollar Committed Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all U.S. Dollar L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Domestic Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s U.S. Dollar Commitment, (iii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Domestic Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the Domestic Swing Line Sublimit and (iv) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Committed Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations under the U.S. Dollar Tranche shall not exceed the Applicable Sublimit for the U.S. Dollar Tranche, and provided, further, that the Company shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Company may borrow under this Section 2.05(a), prepay under Section 2.06, and reborrow under this Section 2.05(a). Each Domestic Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Domestic Swing Line Loan, each U.S. Dollar Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Domestic Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Domestic Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable U.S. Dollar Percentage times the amount of such Domestic Swing Line Loan.

-71-

(ii) Borrowing Procedures. Each Domestic Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Company’s irrevocable notice to the Domestic Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Domestic Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $500,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Domestic Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Domestic Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company. Promptly after receipt by the Domestic Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Domestic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Domestic Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Domestic Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Domestic Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Domestic Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 3:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Domestic Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Domestic Swing Line Lender not to make such Domestic Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.05(a)(i) or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Domestic Swing Line Lender will, not later than 4:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Domestic Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of the requested Domestic Swing Line Loan available to the Company (x) at the Domestic Swing Line Lender’s office by crediting the account of the Company on the books of the Domestic Swing Line Lender in Same Day Funds or (y) by wire transfer of such funds in Same Day Funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Company.

(iii) Refinancing of Domestic Swing Line Loans.

(A) Unless the Company has repaid any Domestic Swing Line Loan then outstanding by 11 a.m. on the tenth Business Day after such Loan was made (the “Swing Line Repayment Date”), the Domestic Swing Line Lender or the Administrative Agent shall, no later than 12 noon on the Swing Line Repayment Date, or at any time prior thereto in its sole discretion may, request, on behalf of the Company (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Domestic Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each U.S. Dollar Lender make a Base Rate Committed Loan in Dollars to the Company in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable U.S. Dollar Percentage of the amount of Domestic Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate U.S. Dollar Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Domestic Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Company with a copy of the applicable Committed

-72-

Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each U.S. Dollar Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable U.S. Dollar Percentage of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Domestic Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Domestic Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar-denominated payments, not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Swing Line Repayment Date, whereupon, subject to Section 2.05(a)(iii)(B), each U.S. Dollar Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Committed Loan to the Company in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Domestic Swing Line Lender.

(B) If for any reason any Domestic Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Committed Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.05(a)(iii)(A), the request for Base Rate Committed Loans submitted by the Domestic Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Domestic Swing Line Lender that each of the U.S. Dollar Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Domestic Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(iii)(A) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(C) If any U.S. Dollar Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Domestic Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such U.S. Dollar Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05(a)(iii) by the time specified in Section 2.05(a)(iii)(A), the Domestic Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such U.S. Dollar Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Domestic Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Domestic Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such U.S. Dollar Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid (other than such interest and fees) shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in the relevant Committed Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Domestic Swing Line Loan, as the case may be, as of the date of such Committed Borrowing or participation. A certificate of the Domestic Swing Line Lender submitted to any U.S. Dollar Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (C) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(D) Each U.S. Dollar Lender’s obligation to make U.S. Dollar Committed Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Domestic Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a)(iii) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any

-73-

setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such U.S. Dollar Lender may have against the Domestic Swing Line Lender, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, or (iii) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each U.S. Dollar Lender’s obligation to make U.S. Dollar Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a)(iii) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Company to repay Domestic Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(iv) Repayment of Participations.

(ii) Borrowing Procedures. Each Alternative Currency Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Company’s irrevocable notice to the Alternative Currency Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Alternative Currency Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $500,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day.

-75-

Administrative Agent has also received such Alternative Currency Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Alternative Currency Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Alternative Currency Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 3:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Alternative Currency Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Alternative Currency Swing Line Lender not to make such Alternative Currency Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.05(b)(i), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Alternative Currency Swing Line Lender will, not later than 4:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Alternative Currency Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of the requested Alternative Currency Swing Line Loan available to the Company (x) at the Alternative Currency Swing Line Lender’s office by crediting the account of the Company on the books of the Alternative Currency Swing Line Lender in Same Day Funds or (y) by wire transfer of such funds in Same Day Funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Company.

(iii) Refinancing of Alternative Currency Swing Line Loans.

(A) Unless the Company has repaid any Alternative Currency Swing Line Loan then outstanding by 11 a.m. on the Swing Line Repayment Date, the Alternative Currency Swing Line Lender or the Administrative Agent shall, no later than 12 noon on the Swing Line Repayment Date, or at any time prior thereto in its sole discretion may, request, on behalf of the Company (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Alternative Currency Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Alternative Currency Lender make a Base Rate Committed Loan in Dollars to the Company in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Alternative Currency Percentage of the amount of Alternative Currency Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Alternative Currency Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Alternative Currency Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Company with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Alternative Currency Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Alternative Currency Percentage of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Alternative Currency Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Alternative Currency Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar-denominated payments not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Swing Line Repayment Date, whereupon, subject to Section 2.05(b)(iii)(B), each Alternative Currency Lender that so makes funds available

-76-

shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Committed Loan to the Company in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Alternative Currency Swing Line Lender.

(B) If for any reason any Alternative Currency Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by a Committed Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.05(b)(iii)(A), the request for Base Rate Committed Loans submitted by the Alternative Currency Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Alternative Currency Swing Line Lender that each of the Alternative Currency Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Alternative Currency Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(iii)(A) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(C) If any Alternative Currency Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Alternative Currency Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Alternative Currency Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05(b)(iii) by the time specified in Section 2.05(b)(iii)(A), the Alternative Currency Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Alternative Currency Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Alternative Currency Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Alternative Currency Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Alternative Currency Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid (other than such interest and fees) shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in the relevant Committed Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Alternative Currency Swing Line Loan, as the case may be, as of the date of such Committed Borrowing or participation. A certificate of the Alternative Currency Swing Line Lender submitted to any Alternative Currency Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (C) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(D) Each Alternative Currency Lender’s obligation to make Alternative Currency Committed Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Alternative Currency Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(iii) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Alternative Currency Lender may have against the Alternative Currency Swing Line Lender, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, or (iii) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Alternative Currency Lender’s obligation to make Alternative Currency Committed Loans pursuant to this

-77-

Section 2.05(b)(iii) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Company to repay Alternative Currency Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(B) If any payment received by the Alternative Currency Swing Line Lender, which has been distributed to Lenders, in respect of principal or interest on any Alternative Currency Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Alternative Currency Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Alternative Currency Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Alternative Currency Lender shall pay to the Alternative Currency Swing Line Lender its Applicable Alternative Currency Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Alternative Currency Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Alternative Currency Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(v) Interest for Account of Alternative Currency Swing Line Lender. The Alternative Currency Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Company for interest on the Alternative Currency Swing Line Loans. Until each Alternative Currency Lender funds its Base Rate Committed Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) to refinance such Lender’s Applicable Alternative Currency Percentage of any Alternative Currency Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Alternative Currency Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Alternative Currency Swing Line Lender.

(i) First, (A) to permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments by 20% of the Aggregate Commitments then in effect (whether or not any Loans are outstanding) and (B) to repay any outstanding Loans in the amount that the Aggregate Commitments are reduced pursuant to clause (A) (it being understood that, to the extent that such commitment reduction exceeds the amount of such outstanding Loans, the proceeds associated with such excess may be retained by the applicable Borrower without any requirement for application pursuant to this Section 2.06(g) to prepay any outstanding Loans), with such reduction and repayment, if any, to be allocated between Loans denominated in Dollars, Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies and Loans denominated in Supplemental Currencies as the Company shall elect; and

(ii) Second, to the extent of any remaining Excess Proceeds to be applied under this Section 2.06(g) after application pursuant to clause (i), to (A) to permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments, by an amount, if any, equal to the difference between (x) such remaining Excess Proceeds minus (y) the amount of principal payments

-85-

made by the Company and its Subsidiaries in respect of Qualifying Indebtedness during the period between the period commencing 180 days prior to the commencement of the Asset Sale Period and ending on the Final Proceeds Application Date (excluding, however, any principal repayments that constituted scheduled amortization payments or prepayments in respect of Qualifying Indebtedness that was either (1) secured by a Lien on the property or assets sold in an Asset Sale or (2) required to be paid as a result of an Asset Sale), and (B) repay any outstanding Loans in the amount that the Aggregate Commitments are reduced pursuant to clause (A) (it being understood that, to the extent that such commitment reduction exceeds the amount of such outstanding Loans, the proceeds associated with such excess may be retained by the applicable Borrower without any requirement for application pursuant to this Section 2.06(g) to prepay any outstanding Loans), with such reduction and repayment, if any, to be allocated between Loans denominated in Dollars, Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies and Loans denominated in Supplemental Currencies as the Company shall elect.

h) Any reduction to the Aggregate Commitments shall reduce the Applicable Sublimits as specified by the Company or, if the Company fails to specify the allocation of the reduction, on a pro rata basis. Any reduction to the Aggregate Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.06(g) shall be permanent.

i) Cash Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.06, if at any time the mandatory prepayment of Loans pursuant to Section 2.06(d), 2.06(e) or 2.06(f) would result, after giving effect to the procedures set forth above, in any Borrower incurring breakage costs under Section 3.05 as a result of Loans being prepaid other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (the “Affected Eurodollar Loans”), then Company may in its sole discretion initially deposit a portion (up to 100%) of the amounts that otherwise would have been paid in respect of the Affected Eurodollar Loans with the Administrative Agent (which deposit must be equal in amount to the amount of Affected Eurodollar Loans not immediately prepaid) to be held as security for the obligations of the Company hereunder pursuant to a cash collateral agreement (which shall permit investments in Cash Equivalents satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) to be entered into in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (which agreement shall provide for the payment of interest to the Company in respect of such deposit), with such cash collateral to be directly applied upon the first occurrence (or occurrences) thereafter of the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the relevant Loans (or such earlier date or dates as shall be requested by the Company), to repay an aggregate principal amount of such Revolving Loans equal to the Affected Eurodollar Loans not initially repaid pursuant to this sentence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the immediately preceding sentence, all amounts deposited as cash collateral pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be held for the benefit of the Lenders whose Loans would otherwise have been immediately repaid with the amounts deposited and upon the taking of any action by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to the remedial provisions of Section 8.02, any amounts held as cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.06(h) shall, subject to the requirements of applicable law, be immediately applied to the relevant Loans. Until actually applied to the repayment of Loans, interest shall continue to accrue thereon.

-86-

2.07 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Company may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the Company shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and (iv) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments, the Alternative Currency Sublimit, the Bid Loan Sublimit, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Commitments, such Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments. The amount of any such Aggregate Commitment reduction shall be applied to the U.S. Dollar Sublimit, Alternative Currency Sublimit, any other Applicable Sublimit and each of the Letter of Credit Sublimits as specified by the Company. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its Applicable Percentage. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

2.08 Repayment of Loans.

a) Each Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of Committed Loans made to such Borrower outstanding on such date.

b) Each Borrower shall repay each Bid Loan made to such Borrower on the last day of the Interest Period in respect thereof.

c) The Company shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) the Swingline Repayment Date applicable to such Loan and (ii) the Maturity Date.

2.09 Interest.

a) General. Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; (ii) each Base Rate Committed Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate plus (in the case of a Base Rate Committed Loan of any Lender which is lent from a Lending Office in the United Kingdom or a Participating Member State) the Mandatory Cost; (iii) each Bid Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for the Interest Period therefor at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Base Rate for such Interest Period plus (or minus) the Eurocurrency Bid Margin, or at the Absolute Rate for such Interest Period, as the case may be; and (iv) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

-87-

b) Default Interest.

(i) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by any Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(iii) [Intentionally Omitted].

(iv) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

c) Interest Payment Date. Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

d) If any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document would require a Canadian Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in payment of “interest” at a “criminal rate” (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by applicable law or so result in payment of “interest” at a “criminal rate”, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary), as follows:

(i) first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest; and

(ii) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, costs, expenses, premiums and other amounts required to be paid which would constitute interest for purposes of section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).

2.10 Fees. In addition to certain fees described in subsections (h) and (i) of Section 2.04:

a) Commitment Fee. At all times prior to the first date on which the Company has Investment Grade Status, the Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent with respect to each Tranche for the account of each Lender in such Tranche in accordance with its Applicable Percentage for such Tranche, a commitment fee equal to either (i) if during the applicable

-88-

quarter, the average daily Outstanding Amount of Committed Loans under all Tranches and Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations is less than 50% of the Aggregate Commitments, 0.35% per annum times the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Commitments exceed the sum of (A) the Outstanding Amount of Committed Loans under all Tranches and (B) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations or (ii) if during the applicable quarter, the average daily Outstanding Amount of Committed Loans under all Tranches and Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations is equal to or greater than 50% of the Aggregate Commitments, 0.25% per annum times the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Commitments exceed the sum of (A) the Outstanding Amount of Committed Loans under all Tranches and (B) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.18. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period. The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears.

b) Facility Fee. At all times following the first date on which the Company has Investment Grade Status, the Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent with respect to each Tranche for the account of each Lender in such Tranche in accordance with its Applicable Percentage for such Tranche, a facility fee equal to the Applicable Rate set forth in clause (b) of the definition thereof times the aggregate Commitments for such Tranche (or, if the Aggregate Commitments have terminated, on the Outstanding Amount of all Committed Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations in such Tranche), regardless of usage, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.18. The facility fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period (and thereafter so long as any Committed Loans, Swing Line Loans or L/C Obligations remain outstanding in such Tranche), including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period (and, if applicable, thereafter on demand). The facility fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate (as set forth in clause (b) of the definition thereof) during any quarter, the aggregate Commitments for the relevant Tranche shall be multiplied by the Applicable Rate (as set forth in clause (b) of the definition thereof) separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate (as set forth in clause (b) of the definition thereof) was in effect.

c) Other Fees. (i) The Company shall pay to the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts, in Dollars, fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

(ii) The Company shall pay to the Lenders, in Dollars, such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

-89-

2.11 Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate. (a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by reference to Bank of America’s prime rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year), or, in the case of interest in respect of Committed Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.13(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Company or for any other reason, the Company or the Lenders determine that (i) the Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Company as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, each Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Borrower under any Debtor Relief Laws of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under Section 2.04(c)(iii), 2.04(h) or 2.09(b) or under Article VIII. The Company’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

(c) For the purpose of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever a rate of interest or fee rate hereunder is calculated on the basis of a year (the “deemed year”) that contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest or fee rate shall be expressed as a yearly rate by multiplying such rate of interest or fee rate by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year, (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation hereunder and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated herein are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

2.12 Evidence of Debt.

a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers

-90-

hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount, currency and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. Promptly following the termination of this Agreement, each Lender shall return to the Borrower each Note issued to it, or in the case of any loss, theft or destruction of any such Note, a lost note affidavit in customary form.

b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the obligations of such Lender in respect of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

2.13 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and except with respect to principal of and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency or a Supplemental Currency, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency or Supplemental Currency shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the amount of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in such Alternative Currency or Supplemental Currency and in Same Day Funds. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the United States. If, for any reason, any Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, such Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency or Supplemental Currency payment amount. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document after 2:00 p.m., in the case of payments in Dollars or an Alternative Currency or the time specified by the Administrative Agent in writing in the case of payments made in a Supplemental Currency, shall in each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by such Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

-91-

b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Committed Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Committed Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Committed Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Committed Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the applicable Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by such Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If such Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Committed Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in such Committed Borrowing as of the date of such Committed Borrowing. Any payment by such Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(ii) Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or a Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

-92-

c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the applicable Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Committed Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Committed Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Committed Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).

e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

f) Conversion after Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies and Supplemental Currencies will automatically, on the date of such Event of Default, be converted on a notional basis into the Dollar Equivalent thereof solely for the purposes of making any allocations required under Section 8.03 and Section 2.14(b).

2.14 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. (a) Sharing within Each Tranche. Except as otherwise set forth herein, if, in connection with any particular Tranche, any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Committed Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment with respect to such Tranche of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Committed Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof with respect to such Tranche as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) from Lenders of such Tranche participations in the Committed Loans of such Tranche and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of such Tranche of the other Lenders of such Tranche, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders of such Tranche ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Committed Loans of such Tranche and other amounts owing them in respect of such Tranche, provided that:

(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

-93-

(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender and as a result of the operation of Section 10.13), (y) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.17, or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Committed Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to a Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

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

b) Pro Rata Sharing Following Event of Default. Notwithstanding Section 2.14(a), following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and the notional conversion of all Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency or a Supplemental Currency into Dollars pursuant to Section 2.13(f), if any Lender shall obtain at any time any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set off, or otherwise, other than as a result of an assignment pursuant to Section 10.06) (i) on account of Obligations due and payable to such Lender under the Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (A) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (B) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lender under the Loan Documents at such time) of payments obtained by all of the Lenders at such time on account of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders under the Loan Documents at such time or (ii) on account of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender under the Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (A) the amount of such Obligations owing to such Lender at such time to (B) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders under the Loan Documents at such time) of payments obtained by all of the Lenders at such time on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders under the Loan Documents at such time, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lender such interests or participating interests in the Obligations due and payable or owing to them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each other Lender shall be rescinded and such other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (A) the purchase price paid to such Lender to (B) the aggregate purchase price paid to all Lenders) of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (A) the amount of such other Lender’s required repayment to (B) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered.

-94-

2.15 Extension of Maturity Date. The Company may one time prior to the Maturity Date then in effect hereunder (the “Existing Maturity Date”) extend the Existing Maturity Date to November 21, 2016 subject to the following terms and conditions: (a) not later than 60 days prior to the Existing Maturity Date, the Company shall deliver a written notice indicating its intention to extend the Existing Maturity Date to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify each of the Lenders), (b) the Company shall pay to the Lenders an extension fee equal to 0.15% of the Commitments extended on or before the Existing Maturity Date, and (c) the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate dated as of the Existing Maturity Date signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company certifying that, before and after giving effect to such extension, (1) no Default or Event of Default exists and (2) all representations and warranties contained herein and in the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects with such effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on the initial Maturity Date (it being understood and agreed that any representation or any warranty which by its term is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects as of such specified date).

This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 10.01 to the contrary.

2.16 Increase in Commitments.

a) Request for Increase. Provided there exists no Default or Event of Default, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Company may request an increase in the Aggregate Commitments (which increase may take the form of new revolving or term loan tranches or increasing the size of an existing Tranche and provide for the payment of commitment or upfront fees in consideration for such increase solely to such Lenders and Acceding Lenders participating in such increase) by an amount (for all such requests) not exceeding $500,000,000; provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000 (or such smaller amount as the Company and the Administrative Agent shall agree) and (ii) if applicable, the Company shall specify the Tranche or Tranches that shall be increased and the amount of any such increase. At the time of sending such notice, the Company (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders).

b) Lender Elections to Increase. Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Applicable Percentage of such requested increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment.

-95-

c) Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Company may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders (an “Acceding Lender”) pursuant to a joinder agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit O.

d) Closing Date and Allocations. If the Aggregate Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Company shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Closing Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Closing Date.

e) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to such increase, (i) the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Increase Closing Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (x) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (y) in the case of the Company, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of the Increase Closing Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.16, the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.05(a) shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.11, and (B) no Default or Event of Default exists and (ii) to the extent that the increase of the Aggregate Commitments shall take the form of a term loan tranche, this Agreement shall be amended, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the Company and the lenders in respect of such term loan tranche, to include such terms as are customary for a term loan commitment; provided that (I) the terms and conditions applicable to a term loan tranche may be materially different from those of the Loans to the extent such differences are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and (II) the interest rates, maturity and amortization schedule applicable to such term loan shall be determined by the Company and the Lenders holding commitments in such term loan tranche.

f) Amendments to Agreement. The Company and the Administrative Agent may execute such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as shall be appropriate, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, to give effect to such increase, including any amendments to the definition of “Applicable Sublimit” and Schedule 2.01.

g) Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.14 or 10.01 to the contrary.

2.17 Cash Collateral.

a) Certain Credit Support Events. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer (i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Company shall in each case promptly Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations in an amount equal to 105% of then Outstanding Amount of such L/C Obligations. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.18(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

b) Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, interest or non-interest bearing (at the Company’s election) deposit accounts at Bank of America. The Company, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender), and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.17(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Company or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.17 or Sections 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.18 or 8.02 in respect of Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

d) Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 10.06(b)(vi))) , (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) that there exists excess Cash Collateral (including following the Company’s request); provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.17 may

-97-

be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 8.03), and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

2.18 Defaulting Lenders. (a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 10.01.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Company may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Company, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Company as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Company against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.18(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

-98-

(iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.10(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Company shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and shall be entitled to receive any facility fee pursuant to Section 2.10(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to extent allocable to the sum of (1) the Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans funded by it and (2) its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.04, Section 2.05, Section 2.17, or Section 2.18(a)(ii), as applicable (and the Company shall (A) be required to pay to each of the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of such fee allocable to its Fronting Exposure arising from that Defaulting Lender and (B) not be required to pay the remaining amount of such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 2.04(h).

(iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans pursuant to Sections 2.04 and 2.05, the “Applicable Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided that (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of that Lender.

b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Company, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Committed Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.18(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Company while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

2.19 Designated Borrowers.

a) Effective as of the date hereof each Canadian Borrower shall be a “Designated Borrower” hereunder and may receive Loans for its account on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

b) The Company may at any time, upon not less than 15 Business Days’ notice from the Company to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), designate any additional Subsidiary of the Company (an “Applicant Borrower”) as a Designated Borrower to receive Loans hereunder by delivering to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver counterparts thereof to each Lender) a duly executed notice and agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit L (a “Designated Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement”). The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that prior to any Applicant Borrower becoming entitled to utilize the credit facilities provided for herein the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have received such supporting resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and other documents or information, in form, content and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, but in any event consistent with supporting resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and other documents or information delivered pursuant to Section 4.01, in each case, as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, and Notes signed by such new Borrowers to the extent any Lenders so require. Promptly following receipt of all such requested resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and other documents or information, but in no event earlier than 15 Business Days following the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such Designated Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement and subject to the Administrative Agent’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the Applicant Borrower’s designation as a Designated Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall send a notice in substantially the form of Exhibit M (a “Designated Borrower Notice”) to the Company and the Lenders specifying the effective date upon which the Applicant Borrower shall constitute a Designated Borrower for purposes hereof, whereupon each of the Lenders shall make Loans to such Designated Borrower, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and each of the parties agrees that such Designated Borrower otherwise shall be a Borrower for all purposes of this Agreement.

c) The Obligations of the Company and each Designated Borrower that is a Domestic Subsidiary shall be joint and several in nature. The Obligations of all Designated Borrowers that are Foreign Subsidiaries shall be several in nature.

d) Each Subsidiary of the Company that is or becomes a “Designated Borrower” pursuant to this Section 2.19 hereby irrevocably appoints the Company as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, including (i) the giving and receipt of notices, (ii) the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein and all modifications hereto, and (iii) the receipt of the proceeds of any Loans made by the Lenders to any such Designated Borrower hereunder. Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or other action which might otherwise be valid

-100-

or effective only if given or taken by all Borrowers, or by each Borrower acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given or taken only by the Company, whether or not any such other Borrower joins therein. Any notice, demand, consent, acknowledgement, direction, certification or other communication delivered to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Designated Borrower.

e) The Company may from time to time, upon not less than 15 Business Days’ notice from the Company to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), terminate a Designated Borrower’s status as such, provided that there are no outstanding Loans payable by such Designated Borrower, or other amounts payable by such Designated Borrower on account of any Loans made to it, as of the effective date of such termination. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such termination of a Designated Borrower’s status.

2.20 Reallocation of Commitments. (a) Without limitation of the Borrowers’ rights under Section 2.16 or Section 2.21, the Borrowers may, at any time (but not more often than once in any fiscal quarter) during the Availability Period, upon not less than five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (the “Reallocation Notice”), reallocate the aggregate amount of unused Commitments among the Tranches (a “Reallocation”) by not less than $5,000,000 to be effective on the date set forth in such notice (each a “Reallocation Date”) that is at least 90 days prior to the Maturity Date then in effect; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall any Reallocation cause the Commitments of any Tranche to be less than the lesser of (1) in the case of the U.S. Dollar Tranche, $50,000,000 or (2) the portion of the Outstanding Amount then allocable to such Tranche, (ii) on the Reallocation Date the following statements shall be true and the Administrative Agent shall have received for the account of each Lender a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company, dated the Reallocation Date, stating that (x) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Reallocation Date after giving effect to the Reallocation, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.20, the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.05(a) shall be deemed to refer to the most recent financial statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.11, and (y) no Default or Event of Default exists or would result from such Reallocation, (iii) immediately after giving effect to such Reallocation, in no event shall the Outstanding Amount under such Tranche exceed the Commitments in respect of such Tranche at such time. The Reallocation Notice shall (x) specify (1) the proposed aggregate amount of such Reallocation (the “Total Reallocation Amount”), (2) the Tranche or Tranches being increased (each, an “Increasing Tranche”), (3) the Tranche or Tranches being decreased (each, a “Decreasing Tranche”), and (4) the proposed Reallocation Date and (y) contain a certification signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company stating that all of the requirements set forth in this Section 2.20(a) have been satisfied or, as of the Reallocation Date, will be satisfied.

b) Upon receipt of any Reallocation Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of such Reallocation Notice to each L/C Issuer and each affected Lender and notify each affected Lender of its proposed proportionate share of (i) the Decreasing Tranche, (ii) the Increasing Tranche, (iii) the Total Reallocation Amount, and (iv) the date by which Lenders

-101-

(other than Approved Reallocation Lenders) with increasing Commitments in respect of the Increasing Tranche, if any, resulting from such Reallocation must commit in writing to the increase in their respective Commitments in the Increasing Tranche (the “Reallocation Commitment Date”). Such determinations shall be made by the Administrative Agent for each Lender based on the ratio of the Commitment of such Lender in respect of the Decreasing Tranche to the total Commitments of all Lenders in respect of such Tranche; provided that (a) if the Decreasing Tranche is the New Zealand Dollar Tranche, any Lender with a New Zealand Dollar Commitment on the Closing Date, and (b) with respect to any Tranche, any Lender in the Decreasing Tranche that originally had a Commitment in the Increasing Tranche that was previously reallocated to the Decreasing Tranche, shall restore its prior Commitments in the Increasing Tranche and no other Lenders shall be offered the option to participate therein. Each Lender (other than an Approved Reallocation Lender) that is willing to participate in such Commitment increase resulting from the Reallocation shall, in its sole discretion, give written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Reallocation Commitment Date of the amount by which it is willing to increase its applicable Commitment (an “Increased Commitment Amount”). If any Lender (other than an Approved Reallocation Lender) shall fail to provide such notice or shall decline, in whole or in part, to commit to its allocable share of the Commitment increase in respect of the Increasing Tranche, then the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly allocate to the Approved Reallocation Lenders in the Increasing Tranche such share in accordance with the approved allocation amounts of such Approved Reallocation Lender set forth on Schedule 2.20, and (ii) shall thereafter offer any such remaining share to the other Lenders in the Increasing Tranche that are willing to participate in such Commitment increase on a pro rata basis. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender’s sole right to approve or consent to any Reallocation shall be its right to determine whether to participate, or not to participate, in any Commitment increase in its sole discretion as provided in this Section 2.20(b). Any determinations by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.20(b) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

c) [Intentionally Omitted].

d) On the applicable Reallocation Date, (i) the Reallocation shall be effected by reallocating unused Commitments from the Decreasing Tranche to the Increasing Tranche on a dollar-for-dollar basis (and with respect to any Approved Reallocation Lender, without any further approval from such Approved Reallocation Lender), and (ii) to the extent Advances then outstanding and owed to any applicable Lender immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Reallocation shall be less than such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated immediately following the effectiveness of such Reallocation) of all Advances then outstanding that are owed to all Lenders in any affected Tranche (collectively, including any applicable Acceding Lender, the “Reallocation Purchasing Lenders”), in each case as applicable, then such Reallocation Purchasing Lenders, without executing an Assignment and Acceptance, shall be deemed to have purchased an assignment of a pro rata portion of the Advances then outstanding and owed to each Lender that is not a Reallocation Purchasing Lender (collectively, the “Reallocation Selling Lenders”), in an amount sufficient such that following the effectiveness of all such assignments the Advances outstanding and owed to each Lender shall equal such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated immediately following the effectiveness of the Reallocation) of all Loans then outstanding in respect of the applicable Tranche. The Administrative Agent shall calculate the net amount to be paid by each Reallocation Purchasing Lender and received by each

-102-

Reallocation Selling Lender in connection with the assignments effected hereunder on the Reallocation Date. Each Reallocation Purchasing Lender shall make the amount of its required payment available to the Administrative Agent, in same day funds, at the office of the Administrative Agent not later than the Reallocation Funding Deadline on the Reallocation Date. The Administrative Agent shall distribute on the Reallocation Date the proceeds of such amount to each of the Reallocation Selling Lenders entitled to receive such payments at its Applicable Lending Office.

e) [Intentionally Omitted].

f) On the Reallocation Date, the applicable Borrower shall execute and deliver a replacement Note payable to the order of each Lender requesting the same in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s respective Commitment immediately following the effectiveness of the Reallocation. Each Lender receiving a replacement Note shall promptly return to the applicable Borrower any previously issued Note for which such replacement Note was delivered in exchange, or in the case of any loss, theft or destruction of any previously issued Note, a lost note affidavit in customary form.

g) On the Reallocation Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders and the Borrowers, on or before the Reallocation Agent Notice Deadline, by facsimile, telex or other electronic mail communication, of the occurrence of the Reallocation to be effected on such Reallocation Date and shall promptly distribute to the Lenders and the Borrowers a copy of Schedule 2.01 hereto revised to reflect such Reallocation. The Administrative Agent shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Lender on such Reallocation Date in accordance with Section 10.06(c).

h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Reallocation of any unused Commitment of a Lender shall cause an increase in the aggregate Commitments of such Lender and its Affiliates under all Tranches. After giving effect to any Reallocation pursuant to this Section 2.20 and without limiting Section 2.16, the maximum aggregate amount of the Alternative Currency Commitments under the Alternative Currency Tranche may not exceed $500,000,000.

2.21 Supplemental Tranches. The Company may from time to time request (each such request, a “Supplemental Tranche Request”) certain Lenders to provide one or more supplemental tranches for Loans in an amount of at least $10,000,000 (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree) per tranche in a currency (a “Supplemental Currency”) that is not included as an Alternative Currency Committed Foreign Currency at the time of such Supplemental Tranche Request (each such new tranche, a “Supplemental Tranche”), provided that Lenders providing Supplemental Tranche Commitments with respect to such Tranche shall be obligated to make Committed Loans pursuant to Section 2.01(d) in Dollars, Alternative Currency Committed Foreign Currencies and the Supplemental Currency. Each Supplemental Tranche Request shall be made in the form of an addendum substantially in the form of Exhibit N (a “Supplemental Addendum”) and sent to the Administrative Agent and shall set forth (i) the proposed currency of such Supplemental Tranche, (ii) the proposed existing Borrower or Borrowers and/or the proposed Designated Borrower or Designated Borrowers that will be the proposed Supplemental Borrower with respect to such Supplemental Tranche, (iii) the proposed interest types and rates for such Supplemental Tranche, (iv) the other matters set forth

-103-

on the form of Supplemental Addendum, and (v) any other specific terms of such Supplemental Tranche that the Borrowers deem necessary, provided that the maturity date of any Committed Loan under any Supplemental Tranche shall not be later than the Maturity Date. As a condition precedent to the addition of a Supplemental Tranche to this Agreement: (i) each Lender providing a Supplemental Tranche Commitment with respect to the applicable Supplemental Tranche must be able to make Committed Loans in the Supplemental Currency in accordance with applicable laws and regulations; (ii) each Lender providing a Supplemental Tranche Commitment with respect to such Supplemental Tranche and the Administrative Agent must execute the requested Supplemental Addendum; (iii) each of the proposed Supplemental Borrowers under such Supplemental Tranche shall be an existing Borrower or a Designated Borrower with regard to such Supplemental Tranche and each such Supplemental Borrower and each other Loan Party shall execute the Supplemental Addendum, and (iv) any other documents or certificates that shall be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with the addition of the Supplemental Tranche shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.16 and 2.20 and this Section 2.21, each Supplemental Tranche shall be committed to by Lenders pursuant to (x) an increase in Commitments pursuant to Section 2.16 or (y) Reallocations of unused Commitments to the applicable Supplemental Tranche pursuant to Section 2.20. No Lender shall be obligated to make a Supplemental Tranche Commitment and a Lender may agree to do so in its sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender’s sole right to approve or consent to any Supplemental Tranche Commitment shall be its right to determine whether to participate, or not to participate, in any Supplemental Tranche Commitment in its sole discretion as provided in this Section 2.21. If a Supplemental Tranche Request is accepted in accordance with this Section 2.21, the Administrative Agent and each applicable Borrower shall determine the effective date of such Supplemental Tranche (the “Supplemental Tranche Effective Date”), the final allocation of such Supplemental Tranche and any other terms of such Supplemental Tranche. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute a revised Schedule 2.01 to each Lender reflecting such new Supplemental Tranche and notify each Lender of the Supplemental Tranche Effective Date. Promptly after a Supplemental Tranche Request, if the Administrative Agent cannot act as the funding agent therefor, the Company shall, subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint the proposed funding agent for the requested Supplemental Tranche. Each such funding agent shall (A) execute the applicable Supplemental Addendum and (B) administer the applicable Supplemental Tranche and, in connection therewith, shall have authority consistent with the authority of the Administrative Agent hereunder in respect of the Administrative Agent’s administration of the applicable Tranche or Tranches; provided, however, that no such funding agent shall be authorized to take any enforcement action unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Administrative Agent. Each such funding agent shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.04 to the same extent as the Administrative Agent.

2.22 Certain Permitted Amendments.

a) The Company may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time beginning on the date that is 18 months after the Closing Date, but not more than three times during the term of this Agreement (and with no more than one such offer outstanding at any one time), make one or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all the Lenders to

-104-

make one or more Permitted Amendments pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Company. Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 Business Days after the date of such notice, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.01, each Permitted Amendment shall only require the consent of the Company, the Administrative Agent and those Lenders that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”), and each Permitted Amendment shall become effective only with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Accepting Lenders. In connection with any Loan Modification Offer, the Company may, at its sole option, with respect to one or more of the Lenders that are not Accepting Lenders (each, a “Non-Accepting Lender”) replace such Non-Accepting Lender pursuant to Section 10.13. Upon the effectiveness of any Permitted Amendment and any assignment of any Non-Accepting Lender’s Commitments pursuant to Section 10.13, subject to the payment of applicable amounts pursuant to Section 3.05 in connection therewith, the Company shall be deemed to have made such borrowings and repayments of the Loans, and the Lenders shall make such adjustments of outstanding Loans between and among them, as shall be necessary to effect the reallocation of the Commitments such that, after giving effect thereto, the Loans shall be held by the Lenders (including the Eligible Assignees as the new Lenders) ratably in accordance with their Commitments.

b) The Company and each Accepting Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Loan Modification Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Loan Modification Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Loan Modification Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Permitted Amendment evidenced thereby and only with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Accepting Lenders, including any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders as a new “Class” or “Tranche” of loans and/or commitments hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Permitted Amendment shall become effective unless the Administrative Agent, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions, officer’s and secretary’s certificates and other documentation consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under this Agreement.

c) “Permitted Amendments” means any or all of the following: (i) an extension of the Maturity Date applicable solely to the Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders, (ii) an increase in the interest rate with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders, (iii) the inclusion of additional fees to be payable to the Accepting Lenders in connection with the Permitted Amendment (including any upfront fees), (iv) such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as shall be appropriate, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, to provide the rights and benefits of this Agreement and other Loan Documents to each new “Class” or “Tranche” of loans and/or commitments resulting therefrom, provided that payments of principal and interest on Loans (including loans of Accepting Lenders) shall continue to be shared pro rata in accordance with

-105-

Section 2.14, except that notwithstanding Section 2.14 the Loans and Commitments of the Non-Accepting Lenders may be repaid and terminated on their applicable Maturity Date, without any pro rata reduction of the commitments and repayment of loans of Accepting Lenders with a different Maturity Date and (v) such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as shall be appropriate, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, to give effect to the foregoing Permitted Amendments.

d) This Section 2.22 shall supersede any provision in Section 10.01 to the contrary. Notwithstanding any reallocation into extending and non-extending “Classes” or “Tranches” in connection with a Permitted Amendment, all Loans to the Company under this Agreement shall rank pari-passu in right of payment.

ARTICLE III. TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01 Taxes.

a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. (i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the respective Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws require any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined by such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.

(ii) If any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by applicable Law to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup withholding taxes and withholding taxes imposed by any jurisdiction, from any payment, then (A) the Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Administrative Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by such Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, the applicable Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, each Loan Party shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws.

c) Tax Indemnifications. (i) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Loan Party shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender

-106-

and the L/C Issuer, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 30 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) withheld or deducted by such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent or paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Each Loan Party shall also, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 30 days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender or the L/C Issuer for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required by clause (ii) of this subsection. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to a Loan Party by a Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(ii) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Lender and the L/C Issuer shall, and does hereby, indemnify each Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for such Borrower or the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against such Borrower or the Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to such Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (e). Each Lender and the L/C Issuer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii). The agreements in this clause (ii) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by such Borrower or by the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, such Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to such Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation. (i) Each Lender shall deliver to the Company and to the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the Closing Date or concurrently with the delivery of an Assignment and Assumption and otherwise at the time or times prescribed by

-107-

applicable Laws or when reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Company or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by the respective Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States,

(A) any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by the Company on behalf of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements; and

(B) each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Company on behalf of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

(2) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

(3) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and all required supporting documentation,

(4) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of such Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or

-108-

(5) executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(iii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed in law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 4.1(h)(iii) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the definition of “FATCA” or Section 1.02, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iv) Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify the Company and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that any Borrower or the Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for Taxes from amounts payable to such Lender.

f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or the L/C Issuer, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Borrower or with respect to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to such Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and net of any loss or gain realized in the conversion of such funds from or to another currency incurred by the Administrative Agent, such

-109-

Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that each Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.

3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars or any Alternative Currency in the applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Company through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in Dollars, to convert Base Rate Committed Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable and such Loans are denominated in Dollars or such Lender is an Alternative Currency Lender or U.S. Dollar Lender, convert all Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate pursuant to the proviso to the definition of the term “Base Rate” until the Administrative is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) deposits (whether in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for such currency for the

-110-

applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurocurrency Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Company and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies shall be suspended, and (y) the Base Rate shall be determined as provided in the proviso to the definition of the term “Base Rate”, in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

3.04 Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurocurrency Rate Loans.

a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except (A) any reserve requirement to the extent reflected in the Eurocurrency Rate and (B) the requirements of the Bank of England and the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank reflected in the Mandatory Cost, other than as set forth below) or the L/C Issuer;

(ii) subject any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer);

(iii) result in the failure of the Mandatory Cost, as calculated hereunder, to represent the cost to any Lender of complying with the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank in relation to its making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Loans; or

(iv) impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender

-111-

or the L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Company will pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Company will pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a), (b) or (e) of this Section and delivered to the Company shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.04, in the case of any Change in Law, it shall be a condition to a Lender’s exercise of its rights, if any, under this Section 3.04 that such Lender shall generally be exercising similar rights with respect to borrowers under similar agreements where available. The Company shall pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

-112-

e) Additional Reserve Requirements. The Company shall pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) not already paid pursuant to Section 3.04(a) or (b) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Company shall have received at least 30 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) reasonably detailing the calculation of additional amounts due to such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 30 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional costs shall be due and payable 30 days from receipt of such notice.

3.05 Compensation for Losses. Upon written request (which request shall set forth the basis for compensation and a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such compensation) of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Company shall promptly compensate (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to compensate) such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any reasonable loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan or Absolute Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

b) any failure by any Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert into any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan or Absolute Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Company or the applicable Designated Borrower;

c) any failure by any Borrower to make payment of any Loan or reimbursement of a drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) denominated in an Alternative Currency in a different currency;

d) any assignment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to Section 10.13; or

e) any Reallocation pursuant to Section 2.20(d) in respect of any Tranche on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan outstanding under such Tranche;

excluding any loss of anticipated profits but including any foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract. The Company shall pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

-113-

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Company (or the applicable Designated Borrower) to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan made by it at the Eurocurrency Base Rate used in determining the Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the offshore interbank market for such currency for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan was in fact so funded.

3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, the L/C Issuer, or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then at the request of any Borrower such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be. The Company hereby agrees to pay (or to cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or the L/C Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment.

b) Replacement of Lenders. If (x) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, (y) any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 or (y) any Lender delivers a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, the Company may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.

3.07 Survival. All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

ARTICLE V. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Each Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders that:

5.01 Status. Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries (a) is a duly organized and validly existing corporation, partnership, trust or limited liability company, as the case may be, in good standing (if applicable) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the corporate, partnership, trust or limited liability company power and authority, as the case may be, to own or lease its property and assets and to transact the business in which it is engaged and presently proposes to engage and (c) is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the conduct of its business requires such qualification except (in the case of clauses (a), (b) and (c)) for failures which, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.02 Power and Authority. Each Loan Party has the corporate, partnership, trust or limited liability company power and authority, as the case may be, to execute, deliver and perform the terms and provisions of each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary corporate, partnership, trust or limited liability company action, as the case may be, to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of each of such Loan Documents. Each Loan Party has duly executed and delivered each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, and each of such Loan Documents constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance (but only with respect to any guaranties or security interests given by a Guarantor), reorganization or other similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).

5.03 No Violation. Neither the execution, delivery or performance by any Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, nor compliance by it with the terms and provisions thereof, (a) will contravene any provision of any applicable law, statute, rule or regulation or any applicable order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, (b) will conflict with or result in any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien (except pursuant to the Security Documents) upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, credit agreement or loan agreement, or any other material agreement, contract or instrument, to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its property or assets is bound or to which it may be subject, except for violations and defaults that may arise under contracts of the Company or a Subsidiary thereof otherwise permitted under this Agreement as a result of the sale of, or foreclosure of a lien upon, the Securities (as defined in the Pledge and Security Agreement) of Subsidiaries pledged under the Pledge and Security Agreement to the extent that the prior consent of other parties to such contracts has not been obtained or other actions specified in such contracts have not been taken in connection with any such sale or foreclosure or (c) will violate any provision of the certificate of incorporation, partnership agreement, declaration of trust, certificate of partnership, limited liability company agreement or by-laws, as the case may be, of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The Obligations under the Loan Documents constitute indebtedness issued to replace the Credit Facility, as such term is defined in the Governing Senior Note Indenture.

-118-

5.04 Governmental Approvals. No order, consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with (except as have been obtained or made and which remain in full force and effect), or exemption by, any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, is required to authorize, or is required in connection with, (a) the execution, delivery and performance of any Loan Document or (b) the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any Loan Document.

5.05 Financial Statements; Financial Condition; Undisclosed Liabilities; Projections; etc. a) The consolidated balance sheets of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and the fiscal quarter ended September 9, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows and shareholders’ equity of such Persons for the fiscal year and fiscal quarter ended on such dates, as the case may be, copies of which have been furnished to the Lenders on or prior to the Closing Date, (i) present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries at the date of such balance sheets and the consolidated results of the operations of such Persons for the periods covered thereby and (ii) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied (subject, in the case of the financial statements not relating to a full fiscal year, to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes). Except as, and to the extent, disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, since December 31, 2010, nothing has occurred that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse change in any of (i) the legality, validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents taken as a whole, (ii) the ability of the Company and the Designated Borrowers, taken as a whole, to repay the Obligations, or (iii) the rights and remedies of the Lenders or the Agents under the Loan Documents.

b) On and as of the Closing Date and on the date on which each Loan is made or each Letter of Credit is issued, on a Pro Forma Basis after giving effect to all Indebtedness (including the Revolving Loans and the Letters of Credit) being incurred or assumed in connection therewith, (x) the sum of the assets, at a fair valuation, of the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) and the Company (on a stand-alone basis) will exceed their respective debts, (y) the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) and the Company (on a stand-alone basis) have not incurred and do not intend to incur, and do not believe that they will incur, debts beyond their ability to pay such debts as such debts mature and (z) the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) and the Company (on a stand-alone basis) have sufficient capital with which to conduct its business. For purposes of this Section 5.05(b) “debt” means any liability on a claim, and “claim” means (i) the right to payment whether or not such a right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, secured or unsecured, in each case, to the extent of the reasonably anticipated liability thereof, as determined by the Company in good faith or (ii) the absolute right to an equitable remedy for breach of performance if such breach gives rise to a payment, whether or not such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured or unsecured.

-119-

c) Except as disclosed in the financial statements (and footnotes applicable thereto) referred to in Section 5.05(a) or in the Schedules to this Agreement, there were as of the Closing Date no liabilities or obligations with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether or not due) of a nature required to be set forth in a balance sheet or footnote thereto prepared in accordance with GAAP which, either individually or in the aggregate, would be material to the Company or the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. As of the Closing Date, the Company does not know of any liability or obligation of itself or any of its Subsidiaries of any such nature that is not fully disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section 5.05(a) or in the footnotes thereto which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

d) On and as of the Closing Date, the projections previously delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (the “Projections”), have been prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time prepared and made available (it being recognized, however, that projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts or guaranties of future performance, that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections may differ from the projected results and that such differences may be material and that the Company makes no representation that such Projections will be in fact realized).

5.06 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the best knowledge of any Company, threatened (a) which purports to affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or (b) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.07 Disclosure. All factual information (taken as a whole), other than information of a general economic or industry nature, furnished by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in writing to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender (including, without limitation, all information contained in the Loan Documents) for purposes of or in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any of the other transactions contemplated herein or therein is, and all other such factual information (taken as a whole), other than information of a general economic or industry nature, hereafter furnished by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in writing to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender will be, true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such information is dated or certified and, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, not incomplete by omitting to state any fact necessary to make such information (taken as a whole) not misleading in any material respect at such time in light of the circumstances under which such information is or was provided.

5.08 Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. a) The proceeds of all Committed Loans and Bid Loans shall be used by the Company, the Designated Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, subject to the other restrictions set forth in this Agreement, for their working capital and general corporate, partnership, trust or limited liability company purposes, including without limitation for the consummation of acquisitions. Each new Letter of Credit shall be used in support of any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

-120-

b) No part of the proceeds of any Committed Loan or Bid Loan, and no Letter of Credit, will be used to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. Neither the making of any Committed Loan or Bid Loan nor the use of the proceeds thereof nor the issuance of any Letter of Credit will violate the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

5.09 Tax Returns and Payments. Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be timely filed, on the due dates thereof or within applicable grace periods, with the appropriate taxing authority, all Federal, material state and other material returns, statements, forms and reports for taxes (the “Returns”) required to be filed by or with respect to the income, properties or operations of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries. The Returns accurately reflect in all material respects all material liability for taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the periods covered thereby except for amounts for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP. Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has paid all material taxes payable by them other than taxes which are not delinquent, and other than those that have been or would be contested in good faith if asserted by the appropriate taxing authority and for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP. There is no action, suit, proceeding, investigation, audit, or claim now pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened by any authority regarding any taxes relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As of the Closing Date, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries have properly accrued adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP for any amount of taxes in dispute for a Return which is the subject of any waiver extending the statute of limitations relating to the payment or collection of taxes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

5.10 Compliance with ERISA.

a) Each Plan that is a single employer plan as defined in Section 4001(a)(15) of ERISA (a “Single Employer Plan”) is in substantial compliance with ERISA and the Code; no Reportable Event has occurred with respect to a Single Employer Plan; no Single Employer Plan is insolvent or in reorganization; to the best knowledge of the Company, no Multiemployer Plan is insolvent or in reorganization; no Single Employer Plan has an Unfunded Current Liability; no Single Employer Plan which is subject to Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA has an accumulated funding deficiency, within the meaning of such Sections of the Code or ERISA, or has applied for or received an extension of any amortization period within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 303 or 304 of ERISA; all contributions required to be made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate with respect to a Plan and a Foreign Pension Plan have been timely made; neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any material liability to or on account of a Plan pursuant to Section 409, 502(i), 502(l), 515, 4062, 4063, 4064, 4069, 4201, 4204 or 4212 of ERISA or Section 401(a)(29), 4971, 4975 or 4980 of the Code or reasonably expects to incur any material liability (including any indirect, contingent, or secondary liability) under any of the foregoing Sections with respect to any Plan; no proceedings have been instituted to terminate or appoint a trustee to administer any Single Employer Plan; to the best knowledge of the Company, no proceedings have been instituted to terminate or appoint a trustee to administer any Multiemployer Plan; no condition exists which presents a substantial risk to the Company or any

-121-

of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate of incurring a material liability to or on account of a Single Employer Plan pursuant to the foregoing provisions of ERISA and the Code; to the best knowledge of the Company, no condition exists which presents a substantial risk to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate of incurring any material liability to or on account of a Multiemployer Plan pursuant to the foregoing provisions of ERISA and the Code; the Company believes that the aggregate liabilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries and its ERISA Affiliates to all Multiemployer Plans in the event of a withdrawal therefrom, as of the close of the most recent fiscal year of each such Plan ended prior to the date of the incurrence of any Committed Loan or Bid Loan or the issuance of any Letter of Credit, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; each group health plan (as defined in Section 607(1) of ERISA or Section 4980B(g)(2) of the Code) which covers or has covered employees or former employees of HHRI or any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate has at all times been operated in substantial compliance with the provisions of Part 6 of subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and Section 4980B of the Code; no lien imposed under the Code or ERISA on the assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate exists or, to the best knowledge of the Company, is likely to arise on account of any Plan; and HHRI and its Subsidiaries do not maintain or contribute to (A) any employee welfare benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) which provides benefits to retired employees or other former employees (other than as required by Section 601 of ERISA) or (B) any Plan, the obligations with respect to which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

b) Each Foreign Pension Plan has been maintained in substantial compliance with its terms and with the requirements of any and all applicable laws, statutes, rules, regulations and orders and has been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities. Neither the Company nor or any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any material obligation in connection with the termination of or withdrawal from any Foreign Pension Plan. The present value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each Foreign Pension Plan, determined as of the end of the Company’s most recently ended fiscal year on the basis of actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable, does not exceed the current value of the assets of each Foreign Pension Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities, in the aggregate, by a material amount.

5.11 [Intentionally Omitted].

5.12 Properties. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has good and marketable title to all material properties owned by them, including all material property reflected in the balance sheets referred to in Section 5.05(a) (except as sold or otherwise disposed of since the date of such balance sheets).

5.13 Subsidiaries. The Company has no Subsidiaries other than (i) those Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 5.13 and (ii) new Subsidiaries created or acquired in compliance with Section 7.06. Schedule 5.13 correctly sets forth, as of the Closing Date, the percentage ownership (direct or indirect) of HHRI and the Company in each class of capital stock or other equity of each of the Company’s Subsidiaries existing on the Closing Date and also identifies the direct owner thereof. As of the Closing Date, all of the Subsidiaries of the Company are Restricted Subsidiaries under the Governing Senior Note Indenture.

-122-

5.14 Compliance with Statutes, etc. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all applicable statutes, regulations and orders of, and all applicable restrictions imposed by, all governmental bodies, domestic or foreign, in respect of the conduct of its business and the ownership of its property (including, without limitation, Environmental Laws, applicable statutes, regulations, orders and restrictions relating to zoning compliance and environmental standards and controls), except such noncompliances as could not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.15 Investment Company Act. Neither the Company nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

5.16 Environmental Matters. a) To the best knowledge of the Company, each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has complied with all applicable Environmental Laws and the requirements of any permits and approvals issued under such Environmental Laws. To the best knowledge of the Company, there are no pending or threatened Environmental Claims against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any Real Property owned, leased or operated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. To the best knowledge of each of the Company and its Subsidiaries, there are no facts, circumstances, conditions or occurrences on any Real Property owned, leased or operated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or on any property adjoining any such Real Property that could reasonably be expected (i) to form the basis of an Environmental Claim against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any such Real Property or (ii) to cause any such Real Property to be subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, use or transferability of such Real Property by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any applicable Environmental Law.

b) To the best knowledge of the Company, Hazardous Materials have not at any time been generated, used, treated or stored on, or transported to or from, or released or discharged on or from, any Real Property owned, leased or operated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries except in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws and reasonably required in connection with the operation, use and maintenance of any such Real Property by the Company or such Subsidiary’s business.

c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.16, the representations made in this Section 5.16 shall only be untrue if the aggregate effect of all failures and noncompliance of the types described above could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.17 Labor Relations. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received written notice that it or any Permitted Facility Manager is engaged in any unfair labor practice with respect to any Hotel Property or other Real Property owned or leased by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the best knowledge of the Company, there is (a) no unfair labor practice complaint pending or reasonably expected to arise against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries before the National Labor Relations Board or other labor relations board or Governmental Authority and no significant grievance or significant arbitration proceeding arising out of or under any collective bargaining agreement is so pending or reasonably expected to arise against the Company or any

-123-

of its Subsidiaries, (b) no strike, labor dispute, slowdown or stoppage that is pending or reasonably expected to arise against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and (c) no union representation question that exists with respect to the employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case with respect to the Hotel Properties and/or other Real Properties owned or leased by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except (with respect to any matter specified in clause (a), (b) or (c) above, either individually or in the aggregate) such as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.18 Intellectual Property. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries owns or has the right to use all trademarks, permits, service marks, trade names, licenses and franchises necessary for the conduct of its respective businesses, except such as could not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.19 Indebtedness. Schedule 5.19 sets forth a true and complete list of all Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date and which is to remain outstanding after giving effect thereto (excluding the Committed Loans, the “Existing Indebtedness”), in each case showing the aggregate principal amount thereof and the name of the respective entity and any other entity which directly or indirectly guaranteed such debt (it being understood that Schedule 5.19 does not have to set forth immaterial items of Indebtedness that do not otherwise constitute Indebtedness under clause (a) of the definition of Consolidated Total Debt, although such items of immaterial Indebtedness will still constitute Existing Indebtedness). A true and correct copy of the Senior Note Indenture, the Twelfth Supplemental Indenture and the Specified Indenture are attached hereto as Exhibit I.

5.20 Status as REIT. HHRI is qualified as a real estate investment trust under the Code and its proposed methods of operation will enable it to continue to be so qualified.

6.03 Payment of Taxes, Etc. The Company shall pay and discharge, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries, as appropriate, to pay and discharge, before the same shall become delinquent, all lawful governmental claims, material taxes, material assessments, material charges and material levies, except where contested in good faith, by proper proceedings, if adequate reserves therefor have been established on the books of the Company or the appropriate Subsidiary in conformity with GAAP.

-131-

foregoing criteria, an “Eligible Subsidiary Guarantor”) to become a Guarantor and in the case of an Eligible Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Domestic Subsidiary which owns Eligible Pledged Securities, to become a Pledgor (and the Company itself shall also become a Pledgor) for the purpose of pledging such Eligible Pledged Securities (subject to the limitations set forth in the Pledge and Security Agreement) in accordance with the requirements of Section 6.14(c); provided, however, that the requirements to become a Pledgor shall not apply to any Subsidiary so long as such Subsidiary does not own any Eligible Pledged Securities.

(2) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 6.14 or anything else in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, no Subsidiary shall be an Eligible Subsidiary Guarantor and required to become a Guarantor and/or Pledgor, as applicable, if any one or more of the following circumstances applies to such Subsidiary:

(i) such Subsidiary’s only assets consist of $5,000 or less in cash;

(ii) such Subsidiary, or the direct or indirect parent company or general partner of such Subsidiary whose only significant asset (in each case) is the equity ownership of such Subsidiary (or the direct or indirect parent company of such Subsidiary), enters into (or is a party to) a material contract pursuant to a transaction otherwise permitted under this Agreement and the terms of which prohibit or restrict such Subsidiary from executing a counterpart of the Subsidiaries Guaranty and/or the Pledge and Security Agreement (and from becoming a guarantor and/or pledgor under the Senior Notes or other Indebtedness other than Indebtedness incurred under such material contract); or

(iii) the terms of any applicable Laws prohibit or restrict such Subsidiary from executing a counterpart of the Subsidiaries Guaranty and/or the Pledge and Security Agreement provided, however, that (A) the Company or the applicable Subsidiary shall have exercised commercially reasonable efforts to provide the guaranty and/or pledge contemplated hereby while complying with such applicable Laws and (B) the failure to comply with such applicable Laws would present a risk of material forfeiture or liability for the Company or the applicable Subsidiary or personal liability for any director or officer of the Company or the applicable Subsidiary or the Administrative Agent otherwise determines that compliance with such applicable Laws is advisable and provided, further, however, that this clause (iii) shall not apply to actions by a Domestic Subsidiary.

b) Pari Passu Guaranty Requirement; Release. Without limiting the requirements under Section 6.14(c) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall at all times cause each directly or indirectly owned Subsidiary (including any Foreign Subsidiary) that guaranties the obligations of the Company under any of the Senior Notes or other senior unsecured Indebtedness of the Company to become a Guarantor by executing and delivering a counterpart to the Subsidiaries Guaranty not later than (x) in the case of the Senior Notes, the date that such Subsidiary provides the guaranty of the Senior Notes and (y) in the case of other senior unsecured Indebtedness of the Company, not later than the earlier of (I) 60 days after the date on which such Subsidiary provides the guaranty of such other senior unsecured Indebtedness of the Company and (II) the date on which such Subsidiary provides a

-132-

guaranty of any of the Senior Notes. The obligations under any Subsidiaries Guaranty delivered pursuant to this Section 6.14(b) shall (i) at all times rank at least pari passu in right of payment with all other senior unsecured Indebtedness of the Company and (ii) unless a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be released by the Administrative Agent upon the written request of the Company at such time as the Company certifies that such Subsidiary no longer guaranties any other senior unsecured indebtedness of the Company or is entering into a transaction pursuant to which it will no longer guaranty any senior unsecured indebtedness of the Company. In connection with the delivery of any guaranty as a result of a guarantee of the Senior Notes pursuant to this Section 6.14(b), unless otherwise waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, each Subsidiary required to become a Guarantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent at the time such Subsidiary is required to become a Guarantor, opinions of counsel of the type described in Section 4.01 as if such Subsidiary were a Loan Party on the Closing Date.

c) Eligible Subsidiary Guarantor Joinder Requirement. Without limiting the requirements under Section 6.14(b), during any time that the Guaranty Requirement is in effect, but in any event not earlier than the date on which the requirements of Section 6.14(a) are required to be completed following the occurrence of the Guaranty Trigger, each Subsidiary at any time owned or acquired that becomes an Eligible Subsidiary Guarantor and is not a party to the Subsidiaries Guaranty and/or Pledge and Security Agreement shall be required to become a Guarantor and in the case of an Eligible Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Domestic Subsidiary which owns Eligible Pledged Securities, a Pledgor (and the Company itself shall also become a Pledgor).

d) Guaranty and Pledge Release. If at any time any Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to constitute an Eligible Subsidiary Guarantor, upon the written request by the Company to the Administrative Agent, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released from the Subsidiaries Guaranty (unless such Subsidiary Guarantor is required to be a party to the Subsidiaries Guaranty pursuant to Section 6.14(b)), the Pledge and Security Agreement and any other Security Documents to which it is a party, and the Collateral Agent shall release the Collateral

-133-

pledged by such Subsidiary Guarantor from the Liens granted thereunder. In addition, except as otherwise set forth in this Section 6.14(d), upon the written request by the Company to the Administrative Agent, each of the Subsidiaries Guaranty (but only to the extent as to any Subsidiary Guarantor, such Subsidiary Guarantor is not required to be a party to the Subsidiaries Guaranty pursuant to Section 6.14(b)), Pledge and Security Agreement and any other Security Documents shall be released, the Collateral Agent shall release the Collateral from the Liens granted thereunder and the requirements of Sections 6.13 and 6.14(a) and (c) shall cease to be in effect if all of the following conditions have been satisfied on or prior to the date of release (the “Release Date”): (i) as of the end of the two most recent consecutive fiscal quarters of the Company ending prior to the Release Date but after the occurrence of the most recent Guaranty Trigger, the Leverage Ratio is less than 6:00:1.00 or the Company has an Investment Grade Debt Rating, (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred on or prior to and be continuing on the Release Date, (iii) the Company shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent at least 15 Business Days prior to the Release Date a request to release the Subsidiaries Guaranty, the Pledge and Security Agreement, the other Security Documents and the Liens granted thereunder, which request shall (x) specify the proposed Release Date, (y) if not already provided, provide financial statements pursuant to Section 6.11 for such fiscal quarters, and (z) contain a certification of an Authorized Financial Officer that the conditions to release of the Subsidiaries Guaranty, the Pledge and Security Agreement, the other Security Documents and the Liens granted thereunder have been satisfied (and, if applicable, providing a computation of the Leverage Ratio demonstrating such compliance), and (iv) all Guarantors and Pledgors being released shall also be released as guarantors and/or pledgors for the Company’s obligations under the Governing Senior Note Indenture; provided, however, that in the event the Guaranty Trigger occurs at any time after the Release Date (a “Reinstatement Event”), then the requirements of Sections 6.14(a) and (c) shall thereafter once again be in effect. The Administrative Agent shall promptly execute such documents and take such other actions as the Company may reasonably request to evidence any release pursuant to this Section 6.14(d) of Guarantors and/or Pledgors under the Subsidiaries Guaranty, the Pledge and Security Agreement, the other Security Documents and the Liens granted thereunder, including the return of any released Pledge and Security Agreement Collateral in its possession. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.14, the Company shall have the option to defer the release of the Subsidiaries Guaranty, the Pledge and Security Agreement, the other Security Documents and the Liens granted thereunder on the Release Date while causing the provisions of Section 6.13 and Section 6.14(a) and (c) in respect of obligations to cause other Subsidiaries to become Guarantors and Pledgors to cease to be effective on the Release Date. Upon the release of any Pledgor from the Pledge and Security Agreement, the Collateral consisting of Pledged Securities and other Pledge and Security Agreement Collateral pledged by such Guarantor shall be released.

e) Canadian Borrower Joint and Several Guaranty. All Loans to any Canadian Borrower shall constitute the several, and not joint or joint and several, obligations of such Canadian Borrower.

b) At the written request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Banks, which request shall specify in reasonable detail the basis therefor, at any time and from time to time after (i) the Administrative Agent receives notice under Section 6.11(h) of any event for which notice is required to be delivered for any Real Property or (ii) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are not in compliance with Section 6.16(a) with respect to any Real Property, the Company will provide, at its sole cost and expense, an environmental site assessment report concerning any such Real Property now or hereafter owned, leased or operated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, prepared by an environmental consulting firm reasonably approved by the Administrative Agent, indicating the presence or absence of Hazardous Materials and the potential cost of any removal or remedial action in connection with any Hazardous Materials on such Real Property.

a) declare the commitment of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of the L/C Issuer to make L/C Credit Extensions to be terminated, whereupon such commitments and obligation shall be terminated;

b) declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Company;

provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Company under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, the obligation of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of the L/C Issuer to make L/C Credit Extensions shall automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, and the obligation of the Company to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations as aforesaid shall automatically become effective, in each case without further act of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

8.03 Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the L/C Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth in the proviso to Section 8.02), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall, subject to the provisions of Sections 2.17 and 2.18, be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:

Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and L/C Borrowings, and other payments in respect Obligations consisting of Swap Contract Obligations or Treasury Management Obligations ratably among the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and counterparties to such Swap Contracts or Treasury Management Agreements in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them;

Fifth, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer, to Cash Collateralize that portion of L/C Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit to the extent not otherwise Cash Collateralized by the Company pursuant to Sections 2.04 and 2.17; and

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Company or the applicable Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.

Subject to Sections 2.04(c) and 2.17, amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.

ARTICLE IX. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND COLLATERAL AGENT

9.01 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article (other than Sections 9.06 and 9.10) are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, and no Borrower shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

9.02 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person

-150-

and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent:

a) shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

b) shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

c) shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, or shall be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any of the Borrowers or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any of their respective Affiliates in any capacity.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Company, a Lender or the L/C Issuer.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

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

9.05 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in its capacity as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent) by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent.

9.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give 30 days prior written notice of its resignation (as Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent) to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Company. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor (and so long as an Event of Default has not occurred and is continuing, with the consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)), which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent (or Collateral Agent, as applicable) gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent (or Collateral Agent, as applicable) may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, and so long as an Event of Default has not occurred and is continuing, with the consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor Administrative Agent (or Collateral Agent, as applicable) meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent (or Collateral Agent, as applicable) shall notify the Company and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent (or Collateral Agent, as applicable) shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (2) all payments and communications provided to be made by, to or through

-152-

the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the L/C Issuer directly and (3) all determinations provided to be made by the Administrative Agent (or the Collateral Agent, as applicable) shall instead be made by the Required Lenders, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent (or Collateral Agent, as applicable) as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent (or Collateral Agent, as applicable) hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent (or Collateral Agent, as applicable), and the retiring Administrative Agent (or Collateral Agent, as applicable) shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Company to a successor Administrative Agent (or Collateral Agent, as applicable) shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s (or Collateral Agent’s, as applicable) resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent (or Collateral Agent, as applicable), its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent (or Collateral Agent, as applicable) was acting as Administrative Agent (or Collateral Agent, as applicable).

(b) (i) If at any time Bank of America (x) resigns as Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.06(a) or (y) assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to Section 10.06(b), Bank of America may, (I) upon 30 days’ notice to the Company and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (II) upon 30 days’ notice to the Company, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation by the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Company shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender hereunder (which may include any Lender serving as successor Administrative Agent); provided that the resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, shall not take effect until the appointment and acceptance of such successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, (x) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender and (y) subject to clause (b)(ii) of this Section, the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.

(ii) If Bank of America resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto, including the right to require the Lenders to make Loans or fund risk participations for unreimbursed amounts of Letters of Credit hereunder. No Letter of Credit issued by Bank of America shall be required to be canceled, replaced with a Letter of Credit issued by any successor L/C Issuer or otherwise cash collateralized solely on account of Bank of America’s resignation as L/C Issuer, and for all purposes hereunder, such Letter of Credit shall remain a Letter of Credit issued hereunder. If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans hereunder.

-153-

(c) In addition, the Required Lenders shall have the right, and so long as an Event of Default has not occurred and is continuing, with the consent of the Company, to remove the Administrative Agent and appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States, in the event that the Administrative Agent (i) has been grossly negligent or has willfully misconducted itself in performing its functions and duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) or (ii) is a Defaulting Lender.

9.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

9.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners, Arrangers or the Syndication Agent listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder.

9.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise

a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.04(i) and (j), 2.10 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

-154-

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.10 and 10.04.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or the L/C Issuer in any such proceeding.

9.10 Subsidiaries Guaranty and Collateral Matters. The Lenders and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, and each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent hereby agrees, to release (a) any Subsidiary that is a Guarantor and/or Pledgor from its obligations under the Subsidiaries Guaranty, the Pledge and Security Agreement and the other Security Documents, (b) the Liens on the Collateral owned by such Subsidiary Guarantor granted thereunder and (c) any Lien on the Capital Stock of any Subsidiary granted under the Pledge and Security Agreement or such other Security Document, (x) if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder, including as a result of any sale, transfer or disposition of such Subsidiary permitted by hereunder (so long as the proceeds from such sale, transfer or disposition have been or will be applied in accordance with this Agreement), and (y) otherwise pursuant to Section 6.14. At the request of the Company, the Collateral Agent shall promptly deliver to the Company any Collateral released pursuant to the foregoing sentence that is in its possession.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s authority to release any Subsidiary Guarantor and/or Pledgor from its obligations under the Subsidiaries Guaranty or the Security Documents pursuant to this Section 9.10.

Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws, to access Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to any Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.

e) Reliance by Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer and Lenders. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Committed Loan Notices and Swing Line Loan Notices) they believe were given by or on behalf of any Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.04(b), the Company shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the L/C Issuer, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

10.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement. No failure by any Lender, the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 for the benefit of all the Lenders and the L/C Issuer; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) the Collateral Agent from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Collateral Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (d) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.14), or (e) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent (or Collateral Agent, as applicable) pursuant to Section 8.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c), (d) and (e) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.14, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

10.04 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

a) Costs and Expenses. The Company shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, including Xxxxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxxxx LLP and Canadian counsel), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) to the extent not already paid pursuant to Section 2.04, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the L/C Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, (iii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Lender (following an Event of Default) or the L/C Issuer (including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer), in

-160-

connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit; and (iv) pay and hold each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all present and future stamp, excise 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 in paying or omission (other than to the extent attributable to such Lender) to pay such taxes. It is understood that the provisions of this clause do not include the normal administrative charges of the Administrative Agent in administering the Loans (which amounts are included in a separate letter with the Administrative Agent). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation to reimburse the Lenders and the L/C Issuer for fees, charges and disbursements of counsel in connection with the matters described in clause (iii) above shall be limited to (x) one law firm for the Administrative Agent, (y) one other law firm retained by the Required Lenders or an ad hoc group of Lenders and (z) in the event of a conflict of interest, one additional law firm for another Lender or group of Lenders, together with (in the case of (x), (y) and (z), as applicable) one additional counsel in each applicable jurisdiction.

b) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any sub-agent of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer, 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 and documented out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel or consultants for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by any Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including in respect of any matters addressed in Section 3.01), (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not substantially 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 or operated by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Claim related in any way to any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Company or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNITEE, but excluding any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (x) to the extent incurred by reason of the Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction or (y) that

-161-

constitute amounts in respect of Excluded Taxes. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm for all Indemnitees in each relevant jurisdiction (unless there shall exist an actual conflict of interest among the Indemnitees, in which case, one or more additional firms shall be permitted to the extent necessary to eliminate such conflict). The Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of any matter for which indemnification may be sought under hereunder with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitees seeking indemnification hereunder. Upon assumption by the Company of the defense of any such matter, such Indemnitees shall have the right to participate in such matter and to retain their own counsel but the Company shall not be liable for any legal expenses of other counsel subsequently incurred by such Indemnitees in connection with the defense thereof unless such Indemnitees shall have been advised by counsel that there are actual or potential conflicting interests between the Company and the Indemnitees. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any such proceeding effected without the Company’s written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), but if settled with such consent or if there shall be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitees from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment subject to the Company’s rights in this paragraph to claim exemption from its indemnity obligations. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of any Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which such Indemnitee is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnitee, unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability, or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnitee. In the case of an investigation, litigation or proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Company, its equity holders or creditors or an Indemnitee, whether or not an Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. The Company also agrees that no Indemnitee shall have any liability (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates or to the Company’s or their respective equity holders or creditors arising out of, related to or in connection with any aspect of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent of damages determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, and no Indemnitee shall be liable under any circumstances for any punitive damages. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through electronic telecommunications or other information transmission systems, other than for damages (but not punitive damages) resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

-162-

c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Company for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any sub-agent of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any such sub-agent, the L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined 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, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any such sub-agent or the L/C Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any such sub-agent or the L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.13(d). To the extent that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall perform any of its duties or obligations hereunder through an Affiliate or sub-agent, then all references to the “Administrative Agent” or the “Collateral Agent” in this Section 10.04 shall be deemed to include any such Affiliate or sub-agent, as applicable.

d) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor.

e) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

10.05 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof which has been distributed to or shared with the Lenders as required hereby is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and the L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, in the applicable currency of such recovery or payment. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

-163-

10.06 Successors and Assigns.

a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment, or grant of a security interest, subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans 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 or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations

-164-

under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to rights in respect of Bid Loans or the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans;

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

(A) the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender;

(C) the consent of the L/C Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding); and

(D) the consent of the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B) or (C) to a natural person.

(vi) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in

-165-

full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the Closing Date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and shall for the purposes of the Loan Documents be a Lender, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be (x) entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment, and (y) otherwise subject to the obligations set forth in Section 10.07. Upon request and following the return of any related Note issued to the assigning Lender, or in the case of any loss, theft or destruction of any such Note, a lost note affidavit from the assigning Lender in customary form, each Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section. Upon request by the Company, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company of any transfer by a Lender of its rights or obligations under this Agreement not subject to the Company’s consent in the form of a list of current Lenders, although the failure to give any such information shall not affect any assignments or result in any liability by the Administrative Agent.

To the extent that an assignment of all or any portions of a Lender’s Commitments and related outstanding Obligations would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs or Taxes under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then a Borrower shall not be obligated to pay or reimburse such increased costs (although the Company shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment).

c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat

-166-

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. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant.

e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. In the case of any such participation pursuant to Section 10.06(d), a Participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (such Participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Company hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation.

-167-

f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign, or grant of a security interest in, all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment, or grant of security interest, to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment or grant of a security interest shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee, assignee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto and the exercise of remedies, including any foreclosure, by such pledgee, assignee or grantee shall be subject to the requirements of Section 10.06(b).

10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of, and not disclose, all information provided to all or any one of them by or on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, except such information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors (legal or otherwise) and representatives who need to know such information in connection with the Credit Agreement and are informed of the confidential nature of such information (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will either be subject to customary confidentiality obligations of employment or professional practice or agree to be bound by the terms of this Section 10.07 (or language substantially similar to this Section) (with the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the applicable Lender or the L/C Issuer, as applicable, responsible for such person’s compliance with this Section 10.07)), (b) to the extent requested (orally or in writing) by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) or to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (in which case the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the applicable Lender or the L/C Issuer, as applicable, agrees to the extent permitted by law, rule or regulation and reasonably practicable, to inform the Company in advance thereof), (c) to any other party hereto pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (d) subject to such Person entering into an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to be a Lender pursuant to Section 2.16(c), (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Company and its obligations or (iii) any pledgee or assignee or prospective assignee or pledgee of a Lender pursuant to Section 10.06(f), (e) with the consent of the Company, (f) to the extent such information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (g) to ratings agencies. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer acknowledge and agree that, in the event of any breach of this Section by them, any of their respective Affiliates or their or their respective Affiliates’ partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors (legal or otherwise) and representatives, the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates could be irreparably and immediately harmed and might not be made whole by monetary damages. Accordingly, it is agreed that, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law or in equity, the Company shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent any breach or threatened breach of this Section or to compel specific performance of the agreements contained in this Section. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer and their respective affiliates may

-168-

disclose any information provided hereunder to any governmental agency, regulatory authority or self-regulatory authority (including, without limitation, bank and securities examiners) having or claiming to have authority to regulate or oversee any aspect of the respective businesses of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Lender, the L/C Issuer or those of their respective affiliates in connection with the exercise of such authority or claimed authority, in which case the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer agrees, to the extent permitted by law, rule and regulation and reasonably practicable, to inform the Company promptly in advance thereof. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence and clause (b) of this Section relating to the obligation of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer to provide advance notice to the Company of any disclosures permitted pursuant to this Section shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect on and after the date that is two years after the termination of this Agreement.

Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that (a) the information may include material non-public information concerning the Company or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws.

10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any and all of the obligations of such Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.18 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) such Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, the L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer agree to notify the Company and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

-169-

10.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Company. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

10.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

10.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

-170-

10.13 Replacement of Lenders. If (a) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, (b) any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, (c) any Lender delivers a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, (d) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, Non-Accepting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender or (e) any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Company the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

a) the Company shall have paid (or caused a Designated Borrower to pay) to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b)(iv);

b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to 100% of the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company or applicable Designated Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

10.14 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

c) WAIVER OF VENUE. EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (b) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 10.02. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

10.16 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or

-172-

other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Arrangers are arm’s-length commercial transactions between such Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Arrangers, on the other hand, (B) such Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) such Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Arrangers each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for such Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any of the Arrangers has any obligation to such Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of such Borrower and its Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to such Borrower or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Borrowers hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Arrangers with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

10.17 Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents.

10.18 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined), and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender), hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub.

THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES AS TO SUCH SUBJECT MATTER.

10.20 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer from any Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer in such currency, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law). The agreement in this Section 10.20 shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

SCHEDULE 1.01

MANDATORY COST FORMULAE

1.	The Mandatory Cost (to the extent applicable) is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with:

(a)

the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions); or

(b)

the requirements of the European Central Bank.

On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Administrative Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”) for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders’ Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum. The Administrative Agent will, at the request of the Company or any Lender, deliver to the Company or such Lender as the case may be, a statement setting forth the calculation of any Mandatory Cost.

The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Lending Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Administrative Agent. This percentage will be certified by such Lender in its notice to the Administrative Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of such Lender’s participation in all Loans made from such Lending Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of Loans made from that Lending Office.

4.	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Lending Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as follows:

(a)

in relation to any Loan in Sterling:


		AB+C(B-D)+E x 0.01		per cent per annum
		100 - (A+C)		per cent per annum

(b)

in relation to any Loan in any currency other than Sterling:


		E x 0.01		per cent per annum
		300		per cent per annum

Where:

“A”

is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which that Lender is from time to time required to maintain as an interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements.

“B”

is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Applicable Rate, the Mandatory Cost and any interest charged on overdue amounts pursuant to the first sentence of Section 2.08(b) and, in the case of interest (other than on overdue amounts) charged at the Default Rate, without counting any increase in interest rate effected by the charging of the Default Rate) payable for the relevant Interest Period of such Loan.

“C”

is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of England.

“D”

is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the Administrative Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits.

“E”

is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Administrative Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Lenders to the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000.

5.	For the purposes of this Schedule:

(a)

“Eligible Liabilities” and “Special Deposits” have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England;

(b)

“Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;

(c)

“Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); and

(d)

“Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules.

In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e. 5% will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places.

7.	If requested by the Administrative Agent or the Company, each Lender with a Lending Office in the United Kingdom or a Participating Member State shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the

Administrative Agent and the Company, the rate of charge payable by such Lender to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by such Lender as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to such Lender for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of such Lender.

8.	Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information in writing on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender:

(a)

the jurisdiction of the Lending Office out of which it is making available its participation in the relevant Loan; and

(b)

any other information that the Administrative Agent may reasonably require for such purpose.

Each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.

The percentages of each Lender for the purpose of A and C above and the rates of charge of each Lender for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the Administrative Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Administrative Agent to the contrary, each Lender’s obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a lending office in the same jurisdiction as its Lending Office.

10.

The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any Person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over- or under-compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above is true and correct in all respects.

11.	The Administrative Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the information provided by each Lender pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above.

12.	Any determination by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

The Administrative Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Company and the Lenders, determine and notify to all parties any amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

Capitalized terms used in this Guaranty and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings specified in the Credit Agreement.

The Lenders and the L/C Issuers have agreed to extend credit to the Designated Borrowers identified on Schedule A hereto, as amended or supplemented or deemed amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance with Paragraph 18 below, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers to extend such credit are conditioned upon, among other things, the execution and delivery of this Guaranty. Accordingly, for value received, the sufficient of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Guaranty. The Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely as a guaranty of collection, prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, the Obligations of each Designated Borrower (including all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and other modifications thereof and all costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent the Lenders and/or the L/C Issuers in connection with the collection or enforcement thereof in accordance with Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement), and whether recovery upon such Obligations may be or hereafter becomes unenforceable or shall be an allowed or disallowed claim under any proceeding or case commenced by or against the Guarantor or any Designated Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code), and Canadian Insolvency Law, any successor statute or any other liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, or similar debtor relief laws of the United States, Canada or other applicable jurisdictions from time to time in effect and affecting the rights of creditors generally (collectively, “Debtor Relief Laws”), and including interest that accrues after the commencement by or against any Designated Borrower of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Administrative Agent’s books and records showing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon the Guarantor and conclusive for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations absent manifest error. This

G-1-1

Guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Guaranteed Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non-perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Guaranteed Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty, and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing.

2. No Setoff or Deductions; Taxes; Payments. The Guarantor represents and warrants that it is organized in the United States of America. The Guarantor shall make all payments hereunder without setoff or counterclaim and subject to, and in accordance with, Section 3.01 of the Credit Agreement, free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes. The obligations of the Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Guaranty. All payments under this Guaranty shall be made in accordance with Section 2.13(a) of the Credit Agreement. The obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any acts of any legislative body or governmental authority affecting any Designated Borrower, including, but not limited to, any restrictions on the conversion of currency or repatriation or control of funds or any total or partial expropriation of any Designated Borrower’s property, or by economic, political, regulatory or other events in the countries where any Designated Borrower is located.

3. Rights of Administrative Agent. Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Guarantor consents and agrees that the Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the Lenders, and the Lenders, may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of, or impair any Lien on, any security for the payment of this Guaranty or any Guaranteed Obligations; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may determine; and (d) release or substitute one or more of any endorsers or other guarantors of any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of the Guarantor under this Guaranty or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of the Guarantor.

4. Certain Waivers. The Guarantor waives (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any Designated Borrower or any other guarantor, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer) of the liability of any Designated Borrower; (b) any defense based on any claim that the Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of any Designated Borrower; (c) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the Guarantor’s liability hereunder; (d) any right to require the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer to proceed against any Designated Borrower, proceed against or exhaust any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s, the Collateral Agent’s, any Lender’s or any L/C Issuer’s power whatsoever; (e) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held

G-1-2

by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender; and (f) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties.

The Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations.

5. Obligations Independent. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations and the obligations of any other guarantor, and a separate action may be brought against the Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty whether or not any Designated Borrower or any other person or entity is joined as a party.

6. Subrogation. The Guarantor shall not exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Guaranty until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations that have not yet been asserted) and any commitments of the Lenders or facilities provided by the Lenders or any L/C Issuer with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations are terminated. If any amounts are paid to the Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders, to reduce the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

7. Termination; Reinstatement. This Guaranty is a continuing, absolute and irrevocable guaranty of all Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations and any other amounts payable under this Guaranty are indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than contingent indemnification obligations that have not yet been asserted) and any commitments of the Lenders and L/C Issuers or facilities provided by the Lenders and L/C Issuers with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations are terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of any Designated Borrower or the Guarantor is made, or the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer is in possession of or has released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations of the Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Guaranty.

G-1-3

8. Subordination. The Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and indebtedness of the Designated Borrowers owing to the Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any obligation of the Designated Borrowers to the Guarantor as subrogee of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the L/C Issuers or resulting from the Guarantor’s performance under this Guaranty, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein and to the extent permitted under the Credit Agreement, the Designated Borrowers may make any payment to the Guarantor in respect of such obligations and indebtedness. If the Administrative Agent so requests at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any such obligation or indebtedness of the Designated Borrowers to the Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by the Guarantor as trustee for the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent, for itself, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty.

9. Stay of Acceleration. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against the Guarantor or any Designated Borrower under any Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantor immediately upon written demand by the Administrative Agent.

10. [Intentionally Omitted].

11. Miscellaneous. Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, no provision of this Guaranty may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified, except by a written instrument executed by the Administrative Agent and the Guarantor. No failure by the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or in equity. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this Guaranty shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision herein. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Guarantor in writing, this Guaranty is not intended to supersede or otherwise affect any other guaranty now or hereafter given by the Guarantor for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer or any term or provision thereof.

12. Condition of Designated Borrowers. The Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from each Designated Borrower and any other guarantor such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of such Designated Borrower and any such other guarantor as the Guarantor requires, and that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have no duty, and the Guarantor is not relying on the Administrative Agent or any Lender at any time, to disclose to the Guarantor any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of any Designated Borrower or any other guarantor (the Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same).

G-1-4

13. Setoff. If and to the extent any payment is not made when due hereunder and subject to Section 10.08 of the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may, at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of Event of Default, set off and charge from time to time any amount so due against any or all of the Guarantor’s accounts or deposits with the Administrative Agent or such Lender, respectively.

14. [Intentionally Omitted].

15. [Intentionally Omitted].

16. GOVERNING LAW; Assignment; Jurisdiction; Notices. THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, this Guaranty shall (a) bind the Guarantor and its successors and assigns, provided that the Guarantor may not assign its rights or obligations under this Guaranty without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be void), and (b) inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may, without notice to the Guarantor and without affecting the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, assign, sell or grant participations in the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty, in whole or in part, in each case, to the extent permitted under the Credit Agreement.

Service of process by the Administrative Agent in connection with such action or proceeding shall be binding on the Guarantor if sent to the Guarantor by registered or certified mail at its address specified below or such other address as from time to time notified by the Guarantor. The Guarantor agrees that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may disclose, to the extent permitted by Section 10.07 of the Credit Agreement, to any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations any and all information in the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s possession concerning the Guarantor, this Guaranty and any security for this Guaranty. All notices and other communications to the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be in writing and shall be delivered in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

17. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; FINAL AGREEMENT.

THIS GUARANTY REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SUBJECT MATTER. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

G-1-5

18. Amending Schedule A. From time to time the Guarantor and the Administrative Agent may amend or supplement Schedule A hereto to add or delete Designated Borrowers or to change other information thereon by a written instrument executed by the Administrative Agent and the Guarantor. Any such amended Schedule A shall be deemed to replace or supplement, as applicable, the prior Schedule A without further action by any party hereto; provided that (i) Schedule A shall be automatically deemed amended to add or remove Designated Borrowers that are added or removed pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, (ii) no such amendment shall terminate this Guaranty as to Guaranteed Obligations which remain outstanding or to extensions of credit made pursuant to existing commitments which would have been Guaranteed Obligations but for such amendment (including, in each case, all renewals, compromises, extensions and modifications of such Guaranteed Obligations), (iii) no amendment shall limit the rights of the Administrative Agent under paragraph 3 hereof, (iv) no amendment shall in itself be deemed a commitment by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer to extend any credit and (v) each amendment shall be made in compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

19. [Intentionally Omitted].

20. Foreign Currency. If any claim arising under or related to this Guaranty is reduced to judgment denominated in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currencies in which the Guaranteed Obligations are denominated or the currencies payable hereunder (collectively the “Obligations Currency”), the judgment shall be for the equivalent in the Judgment Currency of the amount of the claim denominated in the Obligations Currency included in the judgment, determined as of the date of judgment. The equivalent of any Obligations Currency amount in any Judgment Currency shall be calculated at the Spot Rate. The Guarantor shall indemnify in accordance with Section 10.20 of the Credit Agreement the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and hold the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against all loss or damage resulting from any change in exchange rates between the date any claim is reduced to judgment and the date of payment thereof by the Guarantor or any failure of the amount of any such judgment to be calculated as provided in this paragraph.

EXHIBIT G-2

FORM OF SUBSIDIARIES GUARANTY

This SUBSIDIARIES GUARANTY AGREEMENT (this “Guaranty”) is entered into as of [ ] [ ], 20 , among the undersigned, any other Person which may become a party hereto pursuant to a duly executed instrument of accession in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto (each a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”) and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the Lenders.

Reference is hereby made to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of November 22, 2011 (as amended, restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified in writing from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P. (the “Company”), the Designated Borrowers from time to time party thereto (collectively with the Company, the “Borrowers”), the various Lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, an L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender. Capitalized terms used in this Guaranty and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings specified in the Credit Agreement.

The Lenders and the L/C Issuers have agreed to extend credit to the Borrowers subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers to extend such credit are conditioned upon, among other things, the execution and delivery of this Guaranty. Each Guarantor is an Affiliate of the Borrowers, will derive substantial benefits from the extension of credit to the Borrowers pursuant to the Credit Agreement and is willing to execute and deliver this Guaranty in order to induce the Lenders and the L/C Issuers to extend such credit. Accordingly, for value received, the sufficient of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Guaranty. Except for any release of any Guarantor pursuant to Section 9.10 of the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely as a guaranty of collection, prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, the Obligations (including all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and other modifications thereof and all costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and/or the L/C Issuers in connection with the collection or enforcement thereof in accordance with Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement), and whether recovery upon such Obligations may be or hereafter becomes unenforceable or shall be an allowed or disallowed claim under any proceeding or case commenced by or against any Guarantor or any Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code), any Canadian Insolvency Law, any successor statute or any other liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, or similar debtor relief laws of the United States, Canada or other applicable jurisdictions from time to time in effect and affecting the rights of creditors generally (collectively, “Debtor Relief Laws”), and including interest that accrues after the commencement by or against such Borrower of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Administrative Agent’s books and records showing the amount of the Guaranteed

G-2-1

Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon each Guarantor and conclusive for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations absent manifest error. This Guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Guaranteed Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non-perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Guaranteed Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of a Guarantor under this Guaranty, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder (other than any Guarantor which is incorporated under the laws of Canada or any province or territory thereof) at any time shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code) or any comparable provisions of any similar federal or state law.

2. No Setoff or Deductions; Taxes; Payments. Each Guarantor represents and warrants that it is organized in the United States of America or Canada. Each Guarantor shall make all payments hereunder without setoff or counterclaim and subject to, and in accordance with, Section 3.01 of the Credit Agreement, free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes. The obligations of each Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Guaranty. All payments under this Guaranty shall be made in accordance with Section 2.13(a) of the Credit Agreement. The obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any acts of any legislative body or governmental authority affecting any Borrower, including, but not limited to, any restrictions on the conversion of currency or repatriation or control of funds or any total or partial expropriation of such Borrower’s property, or by economic, political, regulatory or other events in the countries where such Borrower is located.

3. Rights of Administrative Agent. Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor consents and agrees that the Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the Lenders, and the Lenders, may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of, or impair any Lien on, any security for the payment of this Guaranty or any Guaranteed Obligations; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may determine; and (d) release or substitute one or more of any endorsers or other guarantors of any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of such Guarantor under this Guaranty or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of such Guarantor.

4. Certain Waivers. Each Guarantor waives (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any Borrower or any other guarantor, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral

G-2-2

Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer) of the liability of any Borrower; (b) any defense based on any claim that such Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of any of the Borrowers; (c) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder; (d) any right to require the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer to proceed against a Borrower, proceed against or exhaust any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s, the Collateral Agent’s any Lender’s or any L/C Issuer’s power whatsoever; (e) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders; and (f) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties. Each Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations.

5. Obligations Independent. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations and the obligations of any other guarantor, and a separate action may be brought against such Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty whether or not any Borrower or any other person or entity is joined as a party.

6. Subrogation. No Guarantor shall exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Guaranty until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations that have not yet been asserted) and any commitments of the Lenders or facilities provided by the Lenders or any L/C Issuer with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations are terminated. If any amounts are paid to a Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent, for itself, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, to reduce the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

7. Termination; Reinstatement. Except for any release of a Guarantor pursuant to Section 9.10 of the Credit Agreement, this Guaranty is a continuing, absolute and irrevocable guaranty of all Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations and any other amounts payable under this Guaranty are indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than contingent indemnification obligations that have not yet been asserted) and any commitments of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers or facilities provided by the Lenders and the L/C Issuers with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations are terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower or a Guarantor is made, or the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, the L/C

G-2-3

Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender is in possession of or has released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations of each Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Guaranty.

8. Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and indebtedness of any Borrower owing to such Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any obligation of any Borrower to such Guarantor as subrogee of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the L/C Issuer or resulting from such Guarantor’s performance under this Guaranty, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein and to the extent permitted under the Credit Agreement, the Borrowers may make any payment to such Guarantor in respect of such obligations and indebtedness. If the Administrative Agent so requests at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any such obligation or indebtedness of such Borrower to such Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty.

9. Stay of Acceleration. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against any Guarantor or any Borrower under any Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantors immediately upon written demand by the Administrative Agent.

10. Expenses. Each Guarantor shall pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders in accordance with Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement. The obligations of each Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Guaranty.

11. Miscellaneous. Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, no provision of this Guaranty may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified, except by a written instrument executed by the Administrative Agent and each Guarantor. No failure by the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or in equity. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this Guaranty shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision herein. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and each Guarantor in writing, this Guaranty is not intended to supersede or otherwise affect any other guaranty now or hereafter given by any Guarantor for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer or any term or provision thereof. The Administrative Agent and the Borrower may agree to changes to this Guaranty with respect to foreign guarantors as may be required by local law.

G-2-4

12. Condition of Borrowers. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from the Borrowers and any other guarantor such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of the Borrowers and any such other guarantor as such Guarantor requires, and that the Administrative Agent has and the Lenders have no duty, and such Guarantor is not relying on the Administrative Agent at any time, to disclose to such Guarantor any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of any Borrower or any other guarantor (each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same).

13. Setoff.

Each Guarantor accepts joint and several liability for the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each Guarantor and in consideration of the undertakings of each other Guarantor to accept joint and several liability for the Guaranteed Obligations.

For greater certainty, unless and until an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Pledgor shall be entitled to (i) exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Stock and to give all consents, waivers or ratifications in respect thereof and (ii) exercise any and all voting, consent, administration, management and other rights and remedies under (x) any limited liability company agreement or operating agreement or otherwise with respect to the Pledged Limited Liability Company Interests of such Pledgor and (y) any partnership agreement or otherwise with respect to the Pledged Partnership Interests of such Pledgor, in each case together with all other rights assigned pursuant to Sections 3.1(a)(iv)(E) and 3.1(a)(v)(E) hereof; provided that no vote shall be cast or any consent, waiver or ratification given or any other action taken which would violate or be inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement or any other Secured Debt Agreement (as defined in Section 7 hereof). All such rights of such Pledgor to vote and to give consents, waivers and ratifications shall cease in case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, and Section 7 hereof shall become applicable.

6. DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS. For greater certainty, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and subject to the terms of the Secured Debt Agreements, all cash dividends and other cash distributions payable in respect of the Pledged Securities shall be paid to the respective Pledgor.

All dividends, distributions or other payments which are received by the Pledgor contrary to the provisions of this Section 6 and Section 7 below shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Pledgee for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, shall be segregated from other property or funds of the Pledgor and shall be promptly paid over to the Pledgee as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

7. REMEDIES IN CASE OF EVENT OF DEFAULT. In case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Pledgee shall be entitled upon written notice to the Company to exercise all of its rights, powers and remedies (whether vested in it by this Agreement, by any other Loan Document, by any Senior Note Document or, to the extent then in effect and secured hereby, by any Other Secured Agreement (with all of the documents listed above being herein collectively called the “Secured Debt Agreements”) or by law) for the protection and enforcement of its rights in respect of the Collateral, and the Pledgee shall be entitled to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and also shall be entitled, without limitation, to exercise the following rights, which each Pledgor hereby agrees to be commercially reasonable:

(i) following written request by the Pledgee, to receive all amounts payable in respect of the Collateral otherwise payable to such Pledgor under Section 6 hereof;

(ii) to transfer all or any part of the Pledged Securities into the Pledgee’s name or the name of its nominee or nominees;

(iii) to vote all or any part of the Pledged Stock, Pledged Limited Liability Company Interests or Pledged Partnership Interests (whether or not transferred into the name of the Pledgee) and give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect of the Collateral and otherwise act with respect thereto as though it were the outright owner thereof; and

Page 8

(iv) at any time or from time to time to sell, assign and deliver, or grant options to purchase, all or any part of the Collateral, or any interest therein, at any public or private sale, without demand of performance, advertisement or notice of intention to sell or of the time or place of sale or adjournment thereof or to redeem or otherwise (all of which are hereby waived by each Pledgor), for cash, on credit or for other property, for immediate or future delivery without any assumption by any Secured Creditor of any credit risk, and for such price or prices and on such terms as the Pledgee in its absolute discretion may determine; provided, that at least 10 Business Days’ notice of the time and place of any such sale shall be given to such Pledgor. Every aspect of the disposition of the Collateral, including the method, manner, time, place and other terms must be commercially reasonable, it being agreed that to the extent such matters are addressed by provisions of this Agreement such provisions are commercially reasonable. Each Pledgor hereby waives and releases to the fullest extent permitted by law any right or equity of redemption with respect to the Collateral, whether before or after sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshalling the Collateral and any other security for the Obligations or otherwise. At any such sale, unless prohibited by applicable law, the Pledgee on behalf of the Secured Creditors may bid for and purchase all or any part of the Collateral so sold free from any such right or equity of redemption. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. The Pledgee may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Pledgor hereby waives any claims against the Pledgee arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Pledgee accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Obligations, the Pledgors shall be liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by the Pledgee to collect such deficiency. Neither the Pledgee nor any other Secured Creditor shall be liable for failure to collect or realize upon any or all of the Collateral or for any delay in so doing nor shall any of them be under any obligation to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto.

8. REMEDIES, ETC., CUMULATIVE. Each right, power and remedy of the Pledgee provided for in this Agreement or in any other Secured Debt Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other such right, power or remedy. The exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor of any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this Agreement or in any other Secured Debt Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor of all such other rights, powers or remedies, and no failure or delay on the part of the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor to exercise any such right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof. The Secured Creditors agree that this Agreement may be enforced only by the Pledgee acting upon the instructions of the Required Secured Creditors (as defined in Section 4 of Annex G

Page 9

hereto) and that no other Secured Creditor shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Agreement or to realize upon the security to be granted hereby, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Pledgee for the benefit of the Secured Creditors upon the terms of this Agreement.

9. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. (ix) All moneys collected by the Pledgee upon any sale or other disposition of the Collateral of each Pledgor, together with all other moneys received by the Pledgee hereunder, shall be applied as follows:

(i) first, to the payment of all Obligations owing to the Pledgee and the other Secured Creditors of the type provided in clauses (v) and (vi) of the definition of Obligations in Section 1 hereof;

(ii) second, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to the preceding clause (i), an amount equal to the outstanding Primary Obligations (as defined in Section 9(b) below) shall be paid to the Secured Creditors as provided in Section 9(e) hereof, with each Secured Creditor receiving an amount equal to its outstanding Primary Obligations of such Pledgor or, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all such Primary Obligations, its Pro Rata Share (as hereinafter defined) of the amount remaining to be distributed;

(iii) third, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), an amount equal to the outstanding Secondary Obligations (as defined in Section 9(b) below) shall be paid to the Secured Creditors as provided in Section 9(e) hereof, with each Secured Creditor receiving an amount equal to its outstanding Secondary Obligations of such Pledgor or, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all such Secondary Obligations, its Pro Rata Share of the amount remaining to be distributed; and

(iv) fourth, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) through (iii), inclusive, and following the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 18 hereof, to the relevant Pledgor or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement (x) “Pro Rata Share” shall mean, when calculating a Secured Creditor’s portion of any distribution or amount, that amount (expressed as a percentage) equal to a fraction the numerator of which is the then unpaid amount of such Secured Creditor’s Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, and the denominator of which is the then aggregate outstanding amount of all Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, (y) “Primary Obligations” shall mean (i) in the case of the Loan Document Obligations, all Obligations arising out of or in connection with (including, without limitation, as obligor or guarantor, as the case may be) the principal of, and interest on, all Loans, all unreimbursed drawings or payments in respect of any letters of credit (together with all interest accrued thereon), and the aggregate stated amounts of all letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement, and all regularly accruing fees, (ii) in the case of the Senior Note Obligations, all Obligations secured hereby arising out of or in connection with (including, without limitation, as obligor or guarantor, as the case may be) the principal of, and interest on, the

Page 10

Senior Notes, and all regularly accruing fees, and (iii) in the case of the Other Obligations, all Obligations arising out of or in connection with (including, without limitation, as a direct obligor or a guarantor, as the case may be) Other Secured Agreements secured hereby (in each case as set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above, other than indemnities, fees (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) and similar obligations and liabilities), and (z) “Secondary Obligations” shall mean all Obligations of such Pledgor secured hereby other than Primary Obligations.

(c) When payments to Secured Creditors are based upon their respective Pro Rata Shares, the amounts received by such Secured Creditors hereunder shall be deemed to be applied (for purposes of making determinations under this Section 9 only) (i) first, to the Primary Obligations and (ii) second, to the Secondary Obligations.

(d) If the Lender Creditors are to receive a distribution in accordance with the procedures set forth above in this Section 9 on account of undrawn amounts with respect to letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement, such amounts shall be paid to the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement and held by it, for the equal and ratable benefit of the Lender Creditors as such. If any amounts are held as cash security pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, then upon the termination of any outstanding letter of credit, and after the application of all such cash security to the repayment of all Obligations owing to the Lender Creditors after giving effect to the termination of such letter of credit, if there remains any excess cash, such excess cash shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Pledgee for distribution in accordance with Section 9(a) hereof.

(e) Except as set forth in Section 9(d) hereof, all payments required to be made hereunder shall be made (i) if to the Lender Creditors, to the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement for the account of the Lender Creditors, and (ii) if to any other Secured Creditors (other than the Pledgee), to the trustee, paying agent or other similar representative (each a “Representative”) for such Secured Creditors or, in the absence of such a Representative, directly to the other Secured Creditors.

(f) For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with this Section 9, the Pledgee shall be entitled to rely upon (i) the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement and (ii) the Representative for any other Secured Creditors or, in the absence of such a Representative, upon the respective Secured Creditors for a determination (which the Administrative Agent, each Representative for any other Secured Creditors and the Secured Creditors agree (or shall agree) to provide upon request of the Pledgee) of the outstanding Primary Obligations and Secondary Obligations owed to the Secured Creditors. Unless it has actual knowledge (including by way of written notice from a Representative for any Secured Creditor or directly from a Secured Creditor) to the contrary, the Pledgee, in acting hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that no Other Secured Agreements are in existence.

(g) It is understood and agreed that each Pledgor shall remain liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral pledged by it hereunder and the aggregate amount of the Obligations of such Pledgor.

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

11. RESERVED.

12. FURTHER ASSURANCES; POWER OF ATTORNEY. (a) Each Pledgor agrees that it will join with the Pledgee in executing and, at such Pledgor’s own expense, file and refile under the applicable UCC or such other law such financing statements, continuation statements and other similar documents in such offices as the Pledgee may reasonably deem necessary and wherever required or permitted by law in order to perfect and preserve the Pledgee’s security interest hereunder in the Collateral and hereby authorizes the Pledgee to file financing statements and amendments thereto relative to all or any part of the Collateral without the signature of such Pledgor where permitted by law (it being understood that the only perfection obligations of the Pledgors hereunder with respect to the Collateral shall be the filing of UCC financing statements as described in this Section 12(a)).

(b) Each Pledgor hereby appoints the Pledgee such Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor or otherwise, to act from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default in the Pledgee’s reasonable discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Pledgee may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 12.

The execution and delivery of any such supplement shall not require the consent of any Pledgor hereunder. It is understood and agreed that the pledge and security interests granted hereunder shall apply to all Collateral as provided in Section 3.1 hereof regardless of the failure of any Pledgor to deliver, or any inaccurate information stated in, any Pledge and Security Agreement Supplement as otherwise provided above.

16. PLEDGORS’ OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE, ETC. Except as otherwise provided in Section 18 hereof, the obligations of each Pledgor under this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including, without limitation: (a) any renewal, extension, amendment or modification of or addition or supplement to or deletion from any Secured Debt Agreement or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein, or any assignment or transfer of any thereof; (b) any waiver, consent, extension, indulgence or other action or inaction under or in respect of any such agreement or instrument or this Agreement; (c) any furnishing of any additional security to the Pledgee or its assignee or any acceptance thereof or any release of any security by the Pledgee or its assignee; (d) any limitation on any party’s liability or obligations under any such instrument or agreement or any invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any such instrument or agreement or any term thereof; (e) any limitation on any other Pledgor’s liability or obligations under this Agreement or under any other Secured Debt Agreement or any invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of this Agreement or any other Secured Debt Agreement or any term thereof; or (f) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to such Pledgor or any Subsidiary of such Pledgor, or any action taken with respect to this Agreement by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding, whether or not such Pledgor shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing.

17. REGISTRATION, ETC. If at any time when the Pledgee shall determine to exercise its right to sell all or any part of the Pledged Securities pursuant to Section 7 hereof, such Pledged Securities or the part thereof to be sold shall not, for any reason whatsoever, be effectively registered under the Securities Act, as then in effect, the Pledgee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, sell such Pledged Securities or part thereof by private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as the Pledgee may deem necessary or advisable in order that such sale may legally be effected without such registration; provided that at least 10 Business Days’ notice of the time and place of any such sale shall be given to such Pledgor.

Page 15

sale; and (c) may restrict such sale to a purchaser who will represent and agree that such purchaser is purchasing for its own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or sale of such Pledged Securities or part thereof. In the event of any such sale, the Pledgee shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Securities at a price which the Pledgee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good xxxxx xxxx reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might be realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid so long as such disposition is otherwise commercially reasonable.

Any proceeds of

Page 16

Collateral sold as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence shall be applied in accordance with, and to the extent required by, the requirements of the applicable Secured Debt Agreements.

In the event that at any time after a Person becomes a Pledgor hereunder (a) such Pledgor does not own any Eligible Pledged Securities (including, without limitation, as a result of the enactment of any Law or the entering into a material contract by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries at any time that has the effect of prohibiting or restricting Collateral owned by such Pledgor from being pledged, assigned, transferred or otherwise subject to a Lien in favor of another Person), (b) one of the circumstances described in Section 6.14(a)(2) of the Credit Agreement applies to such Pledgor, or (c) such Pledgor is otherwise permitted to be released pursuant to Section 6.14(d) or 9.10 of the Credit Agreement, such Pledgor shall be automatically released from this Agreement and this Agreement shall, as to such Pledgor only, automatically have no further force or effect. At the request of the Company or such Pledgor, the Pledgee will promptly execute and deliver to such Pledgor a proper instrument or instruments acknowledging such release, and will duly assign, transfer and deliver to such Pledgor (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) the Collateral of such Pledgor that is in Pledgee’s possession, if any.

22. ADDITIONAL PLEDGORS. Pursuant to Section 6.14 of the Credit Agreement, certain Subsidiaries of the Company may after the date hereof be required to enter into this Agreement as a Pledgor. Upon execution and delivery, after the date hereof, by the Pledgee and such Subsidiary of a New Pledgor Supplement in the form of Annex H-2 hereto (a “New Pledgor Supplement”), such Subsidiary shall become a Pledgor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Pledgor hereunder. Each Subsidiary which is required to become a party to this Agreement shall so execute and deliver a copy of the New Pledgor Supplement to the Pledgee and, at such time, shall execute a Supplement to the Pledge and Security Agreement in the form of Annex H-1 hereto with respect to all Collateral of such Pledgor required to be pledged hereunder. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Pledgor hereunder. Upon the execution and delivery by the Pledgee and such Subsidiary of a New Pledgor Supplement, it is understood and agreed that the pledge and security interests hereunder shall apply to all Collateral of such additional Pledgor as provided in Section 3.1 hereof regardless of any failure of any additional Pledgor to deliver, or any inaccurate information stated in, the Pledge and Security Agreement Supplement.

23. RECOURSE. This Agreement is made with full recourse to the Pledgors and pursuant to and upon all representations, warranties, covenants and agreements on the part of the Pledgors contained herein and otherwise in writing in connection herewith.

Page 18

24. SECURED CREDITORS NOT BOUND. (a) Nothing herein shall be construed to make the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor liable as a member of any limited liability company or a partner of any partnership and the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise (except as referred to in the following sentence) shall not have any of the duties, obligations or liabilities of a member of any limited liability company or partner of any partnership. The parties hereto expressly agree that, unless the Pledgee shall become the absolute owner of the respective Pledged Limited Liability Company Interest or Pledged Partnership Interest pursuant hereto, this Agreement shall not be construed as creating a partnership or joint venture among the Pledgee, any other Secured Creditor and/or any Pledgor.

(b) Except as provided in the last sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 24, the Pledgee, by accepting this Agreement, and the other Secured Creditors did not intend to become a member of any limited liability company or partner of any partnership or otherwise be deemed to be a co-venturer with respect to any Pledgor or any limited liability company or partnership either before or after an Event of Default shall have occurred. The Pledgee shall have only those powers set forth herein and the Secured Creditors shall assume none of the duties, obligations or liabilities of a member of any limited liability company or partnership or any Pledgor.

(c) The Pledgee and the other Secured Creditors shall not be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation of any Pledgor as a result of the collateral assignment hereby effected.

(d) The acceptance by the Pledgee of this Agreement, with all the rights, powers, privileges and authority so created, shall not at any time or in any event obligate the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor to appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to the Collateral to which it is not a party, or to take any action hereunder or thereunder, or to expend any money or incur any expenses or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under the Collateral.

25. CONTINUING PLEDGORS. The rights and obligations of each Pledgor (other than the respective released Pledgor in the case of following clause (b)) hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding (a) the addition of any new Pledgor as a party to this Agreement as contemplated by Section 22 hereof or otherwise and/or (b) the release of any Pledgor under this Agreement as contemplated by Section 21 hereof or otherwise.

26. NO FRAUDULENT CONVEYANCE. Each Pledgor hereby confirms that it is its intention that this Agreement not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or any similar Federal, state or foreign law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, each Pledgor hereby irrevocably agrees that its obligations and liabilities hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other (contingent or otherwise) liabilities of such Pledgor that are relevant under such laws, result in the obligations and liabilities of such Pledgor hereunder in respect of such maximum amount not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

27. CANADIAN BORROWERS. The Pledgors hereby acknowledge that pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement various Canadian Borrowers may become a party

Page 19

to the Credit Agreement from time to time and incur Loans thereunder. The Pledgors further acknowledge and agree that all obligations and liabilities of any Canadian Borrower under the Credit Agreement shall be fully secured hereunder and no consent of the Pledgors is required to effect the same.

28. MISCELLANEOUS. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Pledgor and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Creditors and their respective successors and assigns and be enforceable by the Pledgee and its successors and assigns; provided that no Pledgor may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Pledgee (with the consent of the Required Lenders and, if required by Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement, all Lenders) and any such assignment without such consent shall be null and void. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS). Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably (i) submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any United States Federal or State court sitting in New York, New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and (ii) waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any defense asserting an inconvenient forum in connection therewith and any objection to the venue of any such action or proceeding. The headings in this Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or define the meaning hereof. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one instrument.

29. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PLEDGOR AND EACH SECURED CREDITOR (BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THE BENEFITS OF THIS AGREEMENT) HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS TO WHICH SUCH PLEDGOR IS A PARTY OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

30. SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

THE PLEDGEE

1. Appointment. The Secured Creditors, by their acceptance of the benefits of the Pledge and Security Agreement to which this Annex G is attached (the “Pledge Agreement”) hereby irrevocably designate Bank of America, N.A. (and any successor Pledgee) to act as specified therein and to be bound by the terms of this Annex G. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein (a) and defined in the Pledge Agreement, are used herein as therein defined and (b) not defined in the Pledge Agreement, are used herein as defined in the Credit Agreement referenced in the Pledge Agreement. Each Secured Creditor hereby irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of any Obligation by the acceptance of such Obligation and by the acceptance of the benefits of the Pledge Agreement shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize, the Pledgee to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of the Pledge Agreement and any instruments and agreements referred to therein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Pledge Agreement by the terms thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Pledgee may perform any of its duties thereunder by or through its authorized agents, sub-agents or employees.

2. Nature of Duties. (a) The Pledgee shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein or in the Pledge Agreement. The duties of the Pledgee shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Pledgee shall not have by reason of the Pledge Agreement or any other Secured Debt Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Secured Creditor; and nothing in the Pledge Agreement or any other Secured Debt Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Pledgee any obligations in respect of the Pledge Agreement except as expressly set forth herein and therein.

(b) The Pledgee shall not be responsible for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges or assessments or discharging of Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral.

(c) The Pledgee shall not be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance by any Pledgor of any of the covenants or agreements contained in the Pledge Agreement or any other Secured Debt Agreement.

(d) The Pledgee shall be under no obligation or duty to take any action under, or with respect to, the Pledge Agreement if taking such action (i) would subject the Pledgee to a tax in any jurisdiction where it is not then subject to a tax or (ii) would require the Pledgee to qualify to do business, or obtain any license, in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or licensed or (iii) would subject the Pledgee to in personam jurisdiction in any locations where it is not then so subject.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Annex G, neither the Pledgee nor any of its officers, directors, employees, affiliates or agents shall, in its individual capacity, be personally liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with, or pursuant to this Annex G or the Pledge Agreement except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

ANNEX G

Page 2

3. Lack of Reliance on the Pledgee. Independently and without reliance upon the Pledgee, each Secured Creditor, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (a) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Pledgor and its Subsidiaries in connection with the making and the continuance of the Obligations and the taking or not taking of any action in connection therewith, and (b) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Pledgor and its Subsidiaries, and the Pledgee shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Secured Creditor with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the extension of any Obligations or the purchase of any notes or at any time or times thereafter. The Pledgee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever to any Secured Creditor for the correctness of any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectability, priority or sufficiency of the Pledge Agreement or the security interests granted hereunder or the financial condition of any Pledgor or any Subsidiary of any Pledgor or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the Pledge Agreement, or the financial condition of any Pledgor or any Subsidiary of any Pledgor, or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default. The Pledgee makes no representations as to the value or condition of the Collateral or any part thereof, or as to the title of any Pledgor thereto or as to the security afforded by the Pledge Agreement.

4. Certain Rights of the Pledgee. (a) No Secured Creditor shall have the right to cause the Pledgee to take any action with respect to the Collateral, with only the Required Secured Creditors (or all of the Secured Creditors in the case of the release of all or substantially all of the Collateral) having the right to direct the Pledgee to take any such action. If the Pledgee shall request instructions from the Required Secured Creditors, with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with the Pledge Agreement, the Pledgee shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until it shall have received instructions from the Required Secured Creditors and to the extent requested, appropriate indemnification in respect of actions to be taken, and the Pledgee shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Secured Creditor shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Pledgee as a result of the Pledgee acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Required Secured Creditors. As used herein, the term “Required Secured Creditors” shall mean, the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding Loan Document Obligations.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Pledgee is authorized, but not obligated, (i) to take any action reasonably required to perfect or continue the perfection of the liens on the Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Creditors and (ii) when instructions from the Required Secured Creditors have been requested by the Pledgee but have not yet been received, to take any action which the Pledgee, in good faith, believes to be reasonably required to promote and protect the interests of the Secured Creditors in the Collateral; provided that once instructions have been received, the actions of the Pledgee shall be governed thereby and the Pledgee shall not take any further action which would be contrary thereto.

ANNEX G

Page 3

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Pledge Agreement, the Pledgee shall not be required to take any action that exposes or, in the good faith judgment of the Pledgee may expose, the Pledgee or its officers, directors, agents or employees to personal liability, unless the Pledgee shall be adequately indemnified as provided herein, or that is, or in the good faith judgment of the Pledgee may be, contrary to the Pledge Agreement, any Secured Debt Agreement or applicable law.

5. Reliance. The Pledgee shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon, any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telescopes message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by the proper Person or entity, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining hereto or to the Pledge Agreement and its duties thereunder and hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.

6. Indemnification. To the extent the Pledgee is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Pledgors under the Pledge Agreement, the Secured Creditors (other than the Senior Noteholders) will reimburse and indemnify the Pledgee, in proportion to their respective outstanding principal amounts (including, for this purpose, any unpaid Primary Obligations in respect of Other Secured Agreements, as outstanding principal) of Obligations, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Pledgee in performing its duties hereunder, or in any way relating to or arising out of its actions as Pledgee in respect of the Pledge Agreement except for those resulting solely from the Pledgee’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The indemnities set forth in this Section 6 shall survive the repayment of all Obligations, with the respective indemnification at such time to be based upon the outstanding principal amounts (determined as described above) of Obligations at the time of the respective occurrence upon which the claim against the Pledgee is based or, if the same is not reasonably determinable, based upon the outstanding principal amounts (determined as described above) of Obligations as in effect immediately prior to the termination of the Pledge Agreement. The indemnities set forth in this Section 6 are in addition to any indemnities provided by the Lenders to the Pledgee pursuant to the Credit Agreement, with the effect being that the Lenders shall be responsible for indemnifying the Pledgee to the extent the Pledgee does not receive payments pursuant to this Section 6 from the Secured Creditors (although in such event, and upon the payment in full of all such amounts owing to the Pledgee by the Lenders, the Lenders shall be subrogated to the rights of the Pledgee to receive payment from the Secured Creditors).

7. The Pledgee in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its obligations as a lender under the Credit Agreement and any other Loan Documents to which the Pledgee is a party, and to act as agent under one or more of such Loan Documents, the Person serving as Pledgee shall have the rights and powers specified therein and herein for a “Lender”, or the “Administrative Agent”, as the case may be, and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties specified herein; and the terms “Lenders,” “Required Lenders,” “holders of Notes,” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Person serving as Pledgee in its individual capacity. The Person serving as Pledgee and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or other business with, any Pledgor or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of

ANNEX G

Page 4

any Pledgor as if it were not performing the duties specified herein or in the other Loan Documents, and may accept fees and other consideration from the Pledgors for services in connection with the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Secured Creditors.

8. Holders. The Pledgee may deem and treat the payee of any note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Pledgee. Any request, authority or consent of any person or entity who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any note, shall be final and conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such note or of any note or notes issued in exchange therefor.

9. Resignation by the Pledgee. (a) The Pledgee may resign from the performance of all of its functions and duties hereunder and under the Pledge Agreement at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice to the Company, the Lenders and the Representatives for the other Secured Creditors or, if there is no such Representative, directly to such Secured Creditors. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Pledgee pursuant to clause (b) or (c) below.

(b) Upon any notice of resignation by the Pledgee, the Required Secured Creditors shall appoint a successor Pledgee in accordance with Section 9.06 of the Credit Agreement, with the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If a successor Pledgee shall not have been appointed within said 30 day period by the Required Secured Creditors, the Pledgee, with the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, shall then appoint a successor Pledgee who shall serve as Pledgee hereunder or thereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Secured Creditors appoint a successor Pledgee as provided above.

(c) If no successor Pledgee has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) above by the 45^th day after the date of such notice of resignation was given by the Pledgee, as a result of a failure by the Company to consent to the appointment of such a successor Pledgee, the Required Secured Creditors shall then appoint a successor Pledgee who shall serve as Pledgee hereunder or thereunder (provided that all determinations to be made by such Pledgee shall instead be made by the Required Lenders) until such time, if any, as the Required Secured Creditors appoint a successor Pledgee as provided in clause (b) above.

NEW PLEDGOR SUPPLEMENT

SUPPLEMENT NO. dated as of , to the Pledge and Security Agreement dated as of (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified as of the date hereof, the “Pledge Agreement”), among the Pledgors party thereto (immediately before giving effect to this Supplement) and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as collateral agent and as pledgee (in such capacities, the “Pledgee”) for the Secured Creditors (such term and each other capitalized term used but not defined having the meaning given it in the Pledge Agreement or the Credit Agreement).

A. The Pledgors have entered into the Pledge Agreement in order to induce the Secured Creditors to make loans and other extensions of credit constituting Obligations as defined in the Pledge Agreement. Pursuant to Section 6.14 of the Credit Agreement, certain Domestic Subsidiaries of the Company are, after the date of the Pledge Agreement, required to enter into the Pledge Agreement as a Pledgor. Section 22 of the Pledge Agreement provides that additional Subsidiaries may become Pledgors under the Pledge Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned (the “New Pledgor”) is a Domestic Subsidiary of the Company and is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement and/or the Pledge Agreement to become a Pledgor under the Pledge Agreement in order to induce the Secured Creditors to extend, or maintain, Obligations.

Accordingly, the Pledgee and the New Pledgor agree as follows:

SECTION 1. The New Pledgor by its signature below becomes a Pledgor under the Pledge Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Pledgor and the New Pledgor hereby agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Pledge Agreement applicable to it as a Pledgor thereunder. Each reference to a “Pledgor” in the Pledge Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Pledgor. The Pledge Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 2. The New Pledgor represents and warrants to the Secured Creditors that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and equitable principles of general applicability and that the representations and warranties in the Pledge Agreement applicable to each Pledgor are true and correct as to the New Pledgor on the date hereof.

SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one

instrument. This Supplement shall become effective when the Pledgee shall have received counterparts of this Supplement that, when taken together, bear the signatures of the New Pledgor and the Pledgee.

SECTION 6. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, neither party hereto shall be required to comply with such provision for so long as such provision is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, but the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Pledge Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 7. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in the Pledge Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to the New Pledgor shall be given to it at the address set forth under its signature, with a copy to the Company.
