Section 1.3. GAAP Changes; Financial Covenant Calculations.

(a)    Changes in GAAP. Unless otherwise indicated, all accounting terms, ratios and measurements shall be interpreted or determined in accordance with GAAP as in effect on the Agreement Date; provided that, if at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and either the Company or the Requisite Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Company shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Requisite Lenders); provided further that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) the Company shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP.

(b)    Financial Covenant Calculations.

ARTICLE II. CREDIT FACILITY

Section 2.1. Revolving Credit Loans.

(a)    Making of Revolving Credit Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including Section 2.16., (i) each Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender (severally and not jointly) agrees to make Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrowers in Dollars during the period from and including the Revolving Credit Effective Date to but excluding the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to, but not exceeding, such Lender’s Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment and (ii) each Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender (severally and not jointly) agrees to make Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Loans to the

- 63 -

Borrowers in Agreed Currencies during the period from and including the Revolving Credit Effective Date to but excluding the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to, but not exceeding, such Lender’s Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment. Each borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans hereunder that are to be (w) Base Rate Loans (which shall only be available in Dollars) shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $250,000 and integral multiples of $50,000 in excess thereof, (x) LIBOR Loans (which shall be available in LIBOR Quoted Currencies) shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $2,000,000 (or, if such Loan is denominated in a Foreign Currency, 2,000,000 units of such currency) and integral multiples of $500,000 (or, if such Loan is denominated in a Foreign Currency, 500,000 units of such currency) in excess thereof, (y) CDOR Loans (which shall only be available in Canadian Dollars) shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of Cdn. $2,000,000 and integral multiples of Cdn. $500,000 in excess thereof; and (z) AUD Rate Loans (which shall only be available in Australian Dollars) shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of Aus. $2,000,000 and integral multiples of Aus. $500,000 in excess thereof. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence but subject to Section 2.16., a borrowing of any Tranche Revolving Credit Loans may be in the aggregate amount of the unused Revolving Credit Commitments for such Tranche. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Credit Loans.

(b)    Requests for Revolving Credit Loans. With respect to Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars, not later than 11:00 a.m. New York City Time on the Business Day of a borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans and not later than 1:00 p.m. Local Time at least three (3) Business Days prior to a borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans that are LIBOR Loans, the applicable Borrower, or the Company on behalf of the applicable Borrower, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Borrowing. With respect to Revolving Credit Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency, not later than 11:00 a.m. Local Time at least four (4) Business Days (or, with respect to certain Foreign Currencies requiring additional notice designated by the Administrative Agent, five (5) Business Days) prior to a borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans that are to be LIBOR Loans, CDOR Loans or AUD Rate Loans, the applicable Borrower, or the Company on behalf of the applicable Borrower, shall notify the Administrative Agent of such requested borrowing by hand delivery, electronic mail or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a Notice of Borrowing (it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not accept telephonic notice of borrowings in a Foreign Currency). Each Notice of Borrowing shall specify the identity of the Borrower requesting such borrowing, the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans to be borrowed, the date such Revolving Credit Loans are to be borrowed (which must be a Business Day), the Type of the requested Revolving Credit Loans, the Tranche of the requested Revolving Credit Loans, the Agreed Currency of such Revolving Credit Loans and if such Revolving Credit Loans are to be LIBOR Loans, CDOR Loans or AUD Rate Loans, the initial Interest Period for such Revolving Credit Loans. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable once given and binding on the applicable Borrower. Prior to delivering a Notice of Borrowing, the applicable Borrower, or the Company on behalf of the applicable Borrower, may (without specifying the Type of Loan) request that the Administrative Agent provide such Borrower, or the Company on behalf of such Borrower, with the most recent LIBOR, CDOR or AUD Rate available to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall provide such quoted rate to such Borrower, or the Company on behalf of such Borrower, on the date of such request or as soon

- 64 -

as possible thereafter. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested LIBOR Loan, CDOR Loan or AUD Rate Loan, then the relevant Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(c)    Funding of Revolving Credit Loans. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing under the immediately preceding subsection (b), the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the proposed borrowing. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall deposit an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Loan to be made by such Revolving Credit Lender to the applicable Borrower with the Administrative Agent (i) in the case of Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars, at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds not later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time on the date of such proposed Revolving Credit Loans and (ii) in the case of each Revolving Credit Loan denominated in a Foreign Currency, at the Multicurrency Payment Office for such currency, in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time on the date of such proposed Revolving Credit Loans. Subject to fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall make available to the applicable Borrower in the account specified in its Disbursement Instruction Agreement, not later than 2:00 p.m. New York City time or Local Time, as the case may be, on the date of the requested borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans and not later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time or Local Time, as the case may be, on the date of the requested borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans that are LIBOR Loans, CDOR Loans or AUD Rate Loans, the proceeds of such amounts received by the Administrative Agent. No Revolving Credit Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Revolving Credit Lender to make a Revolving Credit Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Revolving Credit Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Revolving Credit Lender to make a Revolving Credit Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not relieve the obligation of any other Revolving Credit Lender to make any Revolving Credit Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.

(d)    Assumptions Regarding Funding by Revolving Credit Lenders. With respect to Revolving Credit Loans to be made after the Revolving Credit Effective Date, unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Revolving Credit Lender that such Revolving Credit Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent a Revolving Credit Loan to be made by such Revolving Credit Lender in connection with any borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender will make the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loan available to the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section, and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower the amount of such Revolving Credit Loan to be provided by such Revolving Credit Lender. In such event, if such Revolving Credit Lender does not make available to the Administrative Agent the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loan, then such Revolving Credit Lender and such Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent on demand the amount of such Revolving Credit Loan with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Revolving Credit Loan is made available to such Borrower but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Revolving Credit Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation (including without limitation an overnight

- 65 -

foreign currency rate in the case of Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency) and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by such Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the Type of Revolving Credit Loan elected by such Borrower, or by the Company on behalf of such Borrower, in the Notice of Borrowing. If such Borrower and such Revolving Credit Lender shall pay the amount of such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or 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 Revolving Credit Lender pays to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Revolving Credit Loan, the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan included in the borrowing. Any payment by a Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Revolving Credit Lender that shall have failed to make available the proceeds of a Revolving Credit Loan to be made by such Revolving Credit Lender.

Section 2.2. Term Loans.

(a)    Making of Term Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, in a single borrowing during the Term Loan Availability Period, each Term Loan Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make a Term Loan to the Company in the aggregate principal amount equal to such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment Percentage of up to $750,000,000 (the “Initial Term Loan Amount”), in accordance with the terms hereof. Upon a Lender’s funding of its Term Loan Commitment, the Term Loan Commitment of such Lender shall terminate and be reduced to zero. If the Company does not borrow the full Initial Term Loan Amount in a single borrowing as contemplated by this Agreement, the Term Loan Commitments shall be reduced to zero immediately following such borrowing. Any unused Term Loan Commitments shall automatically terminate at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the last day of the Term Loan Availability Period.

(b)    Requests for Term Loans. The Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Borrowing with respect to the Initial Term Loan Amount. Such notice shall be irrevocable once given and binding on the Company. With respect to Term Loans made by the Term Loan Lenders, not later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time at least one (1) Business Day prior to a borrowing of Term Loans that are to be Base Rate Loans and not later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time at least three (3) Business Days prior to a borrowing of Term Loans that are to be LIBOR Loans, the Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of such requested borrowing by hand delivery, electronic mail or telecopy of a Notice of Borrowing or by telephone (which, in the case of notification by telephone, shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a Notice of Borrowing). Each Notice of Borrowing, whether telephonic or written, shall specify the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans to be borrowed, the date such Term Loans are to be borrowed (which must be a Business Day), the Type of the requested Term Loans, and if such Term Loans are to be LIBOR Loans, the initial Interest Period for such Term Loans. Each Notice of Borrowing, whether telephonic or written, shall be irrevocable once given and binding on the Company. Prior to delivering a Notice of Borrowing, the Company may (without specifying whether a Term Loan will be a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Loan) request that the Administrative Agent provide the Company with the most recent LIBOR available to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall provide such quoted rate to the Company on the date of such request.

- 66 -

(c)    Funding of Term Loans. Each Term Loan Lender shall deposit an amount equal to the Term Loan to be made or made available by such Term Loan Lender with the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds (i) by 11:00 a.m. New York City time or such later time specified by the Administrative Agent in accordance with instructions received from the Administrative Agent on the Term Loan Effective Date and (ii) by 11:00 a.m. New York City time on such other date specified by the Company in any Notice of Borrowing. Subject to fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth in Sections 6.1.(I) and 6.2. (in the case of any borrowing on the Term Loan Effective Date) and Section 6.2. (in the case of any borrowing after the Term Loan Effective Date), the Administrative Agent shall make available to the Company in the account specified by the Company in its Disbursement Instruction Agreement, not later than 2:00 p.m. New York City time on the Term Loan Effective Date and each such other date specified by the Company in any Notice of Borrowing, the proceeds of such amounts received by the Administrative Agent. The Company may not reborrow any portion of the Term Loans once repaid.

(d)    Obligation of Term Loan Lenders. No Term Loan Lender (which for purposes of this subsection (d) shall include (if and as applicable) each Additional Term Loan Lender) shall be responsible for the failure of any other Term Loan Lender to advance its portion of the Term Loans (which, for purposes of this subsection (d) shall include (if and as applicable) each Additional Term Loan Advance) or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Term Loan Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Term Loan Lender to advance its portion of the Term Loans or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not relieve the obligation of any other Term Loan Lender to advance its portion of such Term Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.

Section 2.3. Bid Rate Loans.

(a)    Bid Rate Loans. At any time following the Investment Grade Pricing Effective Date to but excluding the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, and so long as the Company continues to satisfy the Investment Grade Ratings Criteria, the Company may, as set forth in this Section, request the Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders to make offers to make Bid Rate Loans to the Company in Dollars. The Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders may, but shall have no obligation to, make such offers and the Company may, but shall have no obligation to, accept any such offers in the manner set forth in this Section.

(b)    Requests for Bid Rate Loans. When the Company wishes to request from the Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders offers to make Bid Rate Loans, it shall give the Administrative Agent notice (a “Bid Rate Quote Request”) so as to be received no later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time on (x) one (1) Business Day immediately preceding the date of borrowing proposed therein, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction and (y) the date four (4) Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a LIBOR Auction. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender a copy of each Bid Rate Quote Request promptly upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent. The Company may request offers to make Bid Rate Loans for up to three (3) different Interest Periods in any one Bid Rate Quote Request; provided that if granted each separate Interest Period shall be deemed to be a separate borrowing (a “Bid Rate Borrowing”). Each Bid Rate

- 67 -

Quote Request shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit Q and shall specify as to each Bid Rate Borrowing all of the following:

(i)    the proposed date of such Bid Rate Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(ii)    the aggregate amount of such Bid Rate Borrowing which shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof which shall not cause any of the limits specified in Section 2.16. to be violated;

(iii)    whether the Bid Rate Quote Request is for LIBOR Margin Loans or Absolute Rate Loans; and

(iv)    the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, which shall not extend beyond the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

The Company shall not deliver any Bid Rate Quote Request within five (5) Business Days of the giving of any other Bid Rate Quote Request and the Company shall not deliver more than four (4) Bid Rate Quote Requests in any calendar month.

(c)    Bid Rate Quotes.

(i)    Each Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender may submit one or more Bid Rate Quotes, each containing an offer to make a Bid Rate Loan in response to any Bid Rate Quote Request; provided that, if the Company’s request under Section 2.3.(b) specified more than one Interest Period, such Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender may make a single submission containing only one Bid Rate Quote for each such Interest Period. Each Bid Rate Quote must be submitted to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:30 a.m. New York City time (x) on the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction and (y) on the date three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a LIBOR Auction, and in either case the Administrative Agent shall disregard any Bid Rate Quote received after such time; provided that the Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender then acting as the Administrative Agent may submit a Bid Rate Quote only if it notifies the Company of the terms of the offer contained therein not later than 30 minutes prior to the latest time by which the Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders must submit applicable Bid Rate Quotes. Any Bid Rate Quote so made shall be irrevocable except with the consent of the Administrative Agent given at the request of the Company. Such Bid Rate Loans may be funded by a Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender’s Designated Lender (if any) as provided in Section 13.6.(g); however, such Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender shall not be required to specify in its Bid Rate Quote whether such Bid Rate Loan will be funded by such Designated Lender.

(ii)    Each Bid Rate Quote shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit R and shall specify:

(a)    the proposed date of borrowing and the Interest Period therefor;

- 68 -

(b)    the principal amount of the Bid Rate Loan for which each such offer is being made; provided that the aggregate principal amount of all Bid Rate Loans for which a Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender submits Bid Rate Quotes (x) may be greater or less than the Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment of such Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender but (y) shall not exceed the principal amount of the Bid Rate Borrowing for a particular Interest Period for which offers were requested; provided further that any Bid Rate Quote shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof;

(c)    in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction, the rate of interest per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent (0.01%)) offered for each such Absolute Rate Loan (the “Absolute Rate”);

(d)    in the case of a LIBOR Auction, the margin above or below applicable LIBOR (the “LIBOR Margin”) offered for each such LIBOR Margin Loan, expressed as a percentage (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent (0.01%)) to be added to (or subtracted from) the applicable LIBOR; and

(e)    the identity of the quoting Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender.

Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Company, no Bid Rate Quote shall contain qualifying, conditional or similar language or propose terms other than or in addition to those set forth in the applicable Bid Rate Quote Request and, in particular, no Bid Rate Quote may be conditioned upon acceptance by the Company of all (or some specified minimum) of the principal amount of the Bid Rate Loan for which such Bid Rate Quote is being made.

(d)    Notification by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall, as promptly as practicable after the Bid Rate Quotes are submitted (but in any event not later than 11:30 a.m. New York City time (x) on the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction or (y) on the date three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a LIBOR Auction), notify the Company of the terms (i) of any Bid Rate Quote submitted by a Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender that is in accordance with Section 2.3.(c) and (ii) of any Bid Rate Quote that amends, modifies or is otherwise inconsistent with a previous Bid Rate Quote submitted by such Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender with respect to the same Bid Rate Quote Request. Any such subsequent Bid Rate Quote shall be disregarded by the Administrative Agent unless such subsequent Bid Rate Quote is submitted solely to correct a manifest error in such former Bid Rate Quote. The Administrative Agent’s notice to the Company shall specify (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Bid Rate Borrowing for which offers have been received and (B) the principal amounts and Absolute Rates or LIBOR Margins, as applicable, so offered by each Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender (identifying the Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender that made such Bid Rate Quote).

- 69 -

(e)    Acceptance by the Company.

(i)    Not later than 12:30 p.m. New York City time (x) on the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction and (y) on the date three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a LIBOR Auction, the Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of its acceptance or nonacceptance of the Bid Rate Quotes so notified to it pursuant to Section 2.3.(d) which notice shall be in the form of Exhibit S. In the case of acceptance, such notice shall specify the aggregate principal amount of Bid Rate Quotes for each Interest Period that are accepted. The failure of the Company to give such notice by such time shall constitute nonacceptance. The Company may accept any Bid Rate Quote in whole or in part; provided that:

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

(b)    the aggregate principal amount of each Bid Rate Borrowing shall comply with the provisions of Section 2.3.(b)(ii) and together with all other Bid Rate Loans then outstanding shall not cause the limits specified in Section 2.16. to be violated;

(c)    acceptance of Bid Rate Quotes may be made only in ascending order of Absolute Rates or LIBOR Margins, as applicable, in each case beginning with the lowest rate so offered;

(d)    any acceptance in part by the Company shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and

(e)    the Company may not accept any Bid Rate Quote that fails to comply with Section 2.3.(c) or otherwise fails to comply with the requirements of this Agreement.

(ii)    If Bid Rate Quotes are made by two or more Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders with the same Absolute Rates or LIBOR Margins, as applicable, for a greater aggregate principal amount than the amount in respect of which Bid Rate Quotes are permitted to be accepted for the related Interest Period, the principal amount of Bid Rate Loans in respect of which such Bid Rate Quotes are accepted shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among such Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of such Bid Rate Quotes. Determinations by the Administrative Agent of the amounts of Bid Rate Loans shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(f)    Obligation to Make Bid Rate Loans. The Administrative Agent shall promptly (and in any event not later than (x) 1:30 p.m. New York City time on the proposed date of borrowing of Absolute Rate Loans and (y) on the date three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing of LIBOR Margin Loans) notify each Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender as to whose Bid Rate Quote has been accepted and the amount and rate thereof. A Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender who is notified that it has been selected to make a Bid Rate Loan may designate its Designated Lender (if any) to fund such Bid Rate Loan on its

- 70 -

behalf, as described in Section 13.6.(g). Any Designated Lender which funds a Bid Rate Loan shall on and after the time of such funding become the obligee in respect of such Bid Rate Loan and be entitled to receive payment thereof when due. No Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender shall be relieved of its obligation to fund a Bid Rate Loan, and no Designated Lender shall assume such obligation, prior to the time the applicable Bid Rate Loan is funded. Any Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender whose offer to make any Bid Rate Loan has been accepted shall, not later than 2:30 p.m. New York City time on the date specified for the making of such Loan, make the amount of such Loan available to the Administrative Agent at its Principal Office in immediately available funds, for the account of the Company. The amount so received by the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be made available to the Company not later than 3:30 p.m. New York City time on such date by depositing the same, in immediately available funds, in an account of the Company designated by the Company.

(g)    No Effect on Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment. Notwithstanding anything expressly stated in Sections 2.13. and 2.16., the amount of any Bid Rate Loan made by any Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender shall not constitute a utilization of such Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender’s Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment.

Section 2.4. Letters of Credit.

(a)    Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 2.16., each Issuing Bank, on behalf of the Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders, agrees to issue in Agreed Currencies for the account of the Borrowers during the period from and including the Revolving Credit Effective Date to, but excluding, the date thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, one or more standby letters of credit (each a “Letter of Credit”) up to the maximum aggregate Letter of Credit Liabilities at any one time outstanding not to exceed a Dollar Amount of $50,000,000, as such amount may be reduced from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof (the “L/C Commitment Amount”); provided that, unless such Issuing Bank shall otherwise consent thereto, no Issuing Bank shall be obligated to issue Letters of Credit hereunder having a maximum aggregate Stated Amount in excess of a Dollar Amount equaling one-third of the L/C Commitment Amount at any one time outstanding.

(b)    Terms of Letters of Credit. At the time of issuance, the form, terms and conditions of each Letter of Credit, and of any drafts or acceptances thereunder, shall be subject to approval by the applicable Issuing Bank in accordance with its customary standards therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may (i) the expiration date of any Letter of Credit extend more than one (1) year beyond the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, or (ii) any Letter of Credit have an initial duration in excess of one year. If a Borrower so requests, an Issuing Bank 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, that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such Issuing Bank 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. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable Issuing Bank,

- 71 -

the applicable Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such Issuing Bank for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable Issuing Bank to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date; provided, however, that the applicable Issuing Bank shall not permit any such extension if (A) such Issuing Bank 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 Section 2.4.(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be telephonic or written) on or before the day that is seven (7) Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Requisite Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender or the applicable Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 6.2. is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such Issuing Bank not to permit such extension. Notwithstanding the foregoing (but subject to the provisions of clauses (A) and (B) of the immediately preceding sentence), a Letter of Credit may, as a result of its express terms or as the result of the effect of an automatic extension provision, have an expiration date of not more than one year beyond the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (any such Letter of Credit being referred to as an “Extended Letter of Credit”), so long as the applicable Borrower (or, with respect to any Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Borrower other than the Company, the Company) delivers to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the applicable Issuing Bank no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, Cash Collateral for such Letter of Credit for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account in an amount equal to the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit; provided, that the obligations of the relevant Borrower under this Section and Section 2.9.(b)(iii) in respect of such Extended Letters of Credit shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in effect until no such Extended Letters of Credit remain outstanding. If the relevant Borrower or the Company fails to provide Cash Collateral with respect to any Extended Letter of Credit by the date thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, such failure shall be treated as a drawing under such Extended Letter of Credit (in an amount equal to the maximum Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit), which shall be reimbursed (or participations therein funded) by the Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with subsections (i) and (j) of this Section 2.4., with the proceeds being utilized to provide Cash Collateral for such Letter of Credit. The initial Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall be at least a Dollar Amount of $250,000 (or such lesser amount as may be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank).

(c)    Requests for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The applicable Borrower shall give the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent written notice at least ten (10) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank) prior to the requested date of issuance of a Letter of Credit, such notice to describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Letter of Credit and the nature of the transactions or obligations proposed to be supported by such Letter of Credit, and in any event shall set forth with respect to such Letter of Credit the proposed (i) initial Stated Amount, (ii) beneficiary, and (iii) expiration date. Such Borrower shall also execute and deliver such customary applications and agreements for standby letters of credit,

- 72 -

and other forms as requested from time to time by such Issuing Bank. Provided that such Borrower has given the notice prescribed by the first sentence of this subsection and delivered such applications and agreements referred to in the preceding sentence, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the satisfaction of any applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.2., such Issuing Bank shall issue the requested Letter of Credit on the requested date of issuance for the benefit of the stipulated beneficiary but in no event prior to the date five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank) following the date after which such Issuing Bank has received all of the items required to be delivered to it under this subsection. No Issuing Bank shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Bank, Administrative Agent or any Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender to exceed any limits imposed by, any Applicable Law. References herein to “issue” and derivations thereof with respect to Letters of Credit shall also include extensions or modifications of any outstanding Letters of Credit, unless the context otherwise requires. Upon the written request of the Company or any applicable Borrower, the applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly deliver to the Company and, with respect to any Letter of Credit issued for the account of any other Borrower, such Borrower a copy of (i) any Letter of Credit proposed to be issued hereunder prior to the issuance thereof and (ii) each issued Letter of Credit after the date of issuance thereof. To the extent any term of a Letter of Credit Document is inconsistent with the terms and provisions of any Loan Document, the terms and provisions of such Loan Document shall control.

(d)    Reimbursement Obligations. Upon receipt by the applicable Issuing Bank from the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of any demand for payment under such Letter of Credit (a “Drawing”), such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Company, the Administrative Agent and, with respect to any Letter of Credit issued for the account of any other Borrower, such Borrower of the amount to be paid by such Issuing Bank as a result of such Drawing and the date on which payment is to be made by such Issuing Bank to such beneficiary in respect of such Drawing; provided, however, that such Issuing Bank’s failure to give, or delay in giving, such notice shall not discharge the Company or the relevant Borrower in any respect from the applicable Reimbursement Obligation. Each Borrower hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to pay and reimburse (either with the proceeds of a Base Rate Loan as provided for in subsection (e) below or with funds from other sources) such Issuing Bank for the amount of each Drawing at or prior to the date on which payment is to be made by such Issuing Bank to the beneficiary thereunder, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind (other than the notice provided for in the first sentence of this subsection (d)).

(e)    Manner of Reimbursement. Upon its receipt of a notice referred to in the immediately preceding subsection (d), the Company shall advise the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank whether or not the applicable Borrower intends to borrow hereunder to finance its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank for the amount of the related demand for payment and, if it does, the applicable Borrower, or the Company on behalf of such Borrower, shall submit a timely request for such borrowing as provided in the applicable provisions of this Agreement. If the Company or the applicable Borrower fails to so advise the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, or if the Company or the applicable Borrower fails to reimburse such Issuing Bank for a demand for payment under a Letter of

- 73 -

Credit issued by such Issuing Bank by the date of such payment, the failure of which such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, then (i) if the applicable conditions contained in Article VI. would permit the making of Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a borrowing of Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Loans (which shall be Base Rate Loans) in the Dollar Amount equal to the unpaid Reimbursement Obligation and the Administrative Agent shall give each Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender prompt notice of the amount of the Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Loan to be made available to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon New York City time and (ii) if such conditions would not permit the making of Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Loans, the provisions of subsection (j) of this Section shall apply. The limitations set forth in the second sentence of Section 2.1.(a) shall not apply to any borrowing of Base Rate Loans under this subsection.

(f)    Effect of Letters of Credit on Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Commitments. Upon the issuance by any Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit and until such Letter of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, the Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment of each Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to be utilized for all purposes of this Agreement in an amount equal to the product of (i) such Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender’s Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage and (ii) the sum of (A) the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit plus (B) any related Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding.

(g)    Each Issuing Bank’s Duties Regarding Letters of Credit; Unconditional Nature of Reimbursement Obligations. In examining documents presented in connection with drawings under Letters of Credit and making payments under such Letters of Credit against such documents, the applicable Issuing Bank shall only be required to use the same standard of care as it uses in connection with examining documents presented in connection with drawings under letters of credit in which it has not sold participations and making payments under such letters of credit. Each Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, none of any Issuing Bank, Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders shall be responsible for, and the Borrowers’ obligations in respect of Letters of Credit shall not be affected in any manner by, (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effects of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of or any drawing honored under any Letter of Credit even if such document should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit, or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, facsimile, electronic mail, telecopy or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds of any drawing under any Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control

- 74 -

of the Issuing Banks, the Administrative Agent or the Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders. None of the above shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the Issuing Banks’ or the Administrative Agent’s rights or powers hereunder. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), shall not create against such Issuing Bank any liability to any Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender. In this connection, the obligation of the applicable Borrower to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for any Drawing made under any Letter of Credit, and to repay any Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Loan made pursuant to the second sentence of subsection (d) above, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any other applicable Letter of Credit Document under all circumstances whatsoever, including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit Document or any term or provisions therein; (B) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the Letter of Credit Documents; (C) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which any Borrower may have at any time against any Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or in the Letter of Credit Documents or any unrelated transaction; (D) any breach of contract or dispute between or among any Borrower, any Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person; (E) any demand, statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein or made in connection therewith being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (F) any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; (G) payment by any Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and (H) any other act, omission to act, delay or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of any Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section or Section 13.10., but not in limitation of each Borrower’s unconditional obligation to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for any drawing made under a Letter of Credit as provided in this Section and to repay any Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Loan made pursuant to the second sentence of subsection (d) above, no Borrower shall have any obligation to indemnify the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender in respect of any liability incurred by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender to the extent arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender (as the case may be) in respect of a Letter of Credit as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment. Nothing in this Section shall affect any rights any Borrower may have with respect to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit.

(h)    Amendments, Etc. The issuance by the applicable Issuing Bank of any amendment, supplement or other modification to any Letter of Credit shall be subject to the

- 75 -

same conditions applicable under this Agreement to the issuance of new Letters of Credit (including, without limitation, that the request therefor be made through such Issuing Bank), and no such amendment, supplement or other modification shall be issued unless either (i) the respective Letter of Credit affected thereby would have complied with such conditions had it originally been issued hereunder in such amended, supplemented or modified form or (ii) the Administrative Agent and Requisite Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders shall have consented thereto. In connection with any such amendment, supplement or other modification, the Company shall pay the fees, if any, payable under the last sentence of Section 3.5.(c).

(i)    Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders’ Participation in Letters of Credit. Immediately upon the issuance by any Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit each Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from such Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender’s Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the liability of such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit and each Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender thereby shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and shall be unconditionally obligated to such Issuing Bank to pay and discharge when due, such Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender’s Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Issuing Bank’s liability under such Letter of Credit for which such Issuing Bank is not reimbursed in full by the applicable Borrower through a Base Rate Loan or otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, upon the making of each payment by a Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Issuing Bank in respect of any Letter of Credit pursuant to the immediately following subsection (j), such Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender shall, automatically and without any further action on the part of such Issuing Bank, Administrative Agent or such Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender, acquire (i) a participation in an amount equal to such payment in the Reimbursement Obligation owing to such Issuing Bank by the applicable Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit and (ii) a participation in a percentage equal to such Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender’s Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage in any interest or other amounts payable by such Borrower in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation (other than the Fees payable to such Issuing Bank pursuant to the last two sentences of Section 3.5.(c)). Upon receipt by the applicable Issuing Bank of any payment in respect of any Reimbursement Obligation, such Issuing Bank shall promptly pay to each Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender that has acquired a participation therein under the second sentence of this subsection (i), such Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender’s Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such payment.

(j)    Payment Obligation of Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders. Each Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, on demand or upon notice in accordance with subsection (e) above, in immediately available funds in Dollars the amount of such Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender’s Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of each Drawing paid by such Issuing Bank under each Letter of

- 76 -

Credit to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower pursuant to subsection (d); provided, however, that in respect of any Drawing under any Letter of Credit, the maximum amount that any Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender shall be required to fund, whether as a Base Rate Loan or as a participation, shall not exceed such Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender’s Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Drawing except as otherwise provided in Section 3.9.(d)(ii). If the notice referenced in the second sentence of subsection (e) above is received by a Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender not later than 12:00 noon New York City time, then such Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender shall make such payment available to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. New York City time on the date of demand therefor; otherwise, such payment shall be made available to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time on the next succeeding Business Day. Each Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make such payments to the Administrative Agent under this subsection, whether as a Base Rate Loan or as a participation, and the Administrative Agent’s right to receive the same for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and shall not be affected in any way by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, (i) the failure of any other Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender to make its payment under this subsection, (ii) the financial condition of the Company or any other Loan Party, (iii) the existence of any Default or Event of Default, including any Event of Default described in Section 11.1.(e) or (f) , (iv) the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments or (v) the delivery of Cash Collateral in respect of any Extended Letter of Credit. Each such payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or deduction whatsoever.

(k)    Information to Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders. Promptly following any change in Letters of Credit outstanding, the applicable Issuing Bank shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly deliver the same to each Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender, the Company, and, with respect to any Letter of Credit issued for the account of any other Borrower, such Borrower, a notice describing the aggregate amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding at such time. Upon the request of any Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender from time to time, such Issuing Bank shall deliver any other information reasonably requested by such Lender with respect to each Letter of Credit then outstanding. Other than as set forth in this subsection, no Issuing Bank shall have any duty to notify the Lenders regarding the issuance or other matters regarding Letters of Credit issued hereunder. The failure of any Issuing Bank to perform its requirements under this subsection shall not relieve any Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender from its obligations under the immediately preceding subsection (j).

(l)    Extended Letters of Credit. Each Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender confirms that its obligations under the preceding subsections (i) and (j) shall be reinstated in full and apply if the delivery of any Cash Collateral in respect of an Extended Letter of Credit is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise.

- 77 -

(m)    Obligation to Issue Letters of Credit. No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: (a) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing the Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Agreement Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Agreement Date and which such Issuing Bank in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it; or (b) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally.

(n)    Conflict with Application Documents. In the event of any conflict (including, for clarity, any more burdensome covenant, representation or event of default) between the terms hereof and the terms of any application or agreement for standby letters of credit, or any other form as requested from time to time by an Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the terms hereof shall control.

Section 2.5. Swingline Loans.

(a)    Swingline Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including, without limitation, Section 2.16., each Swingline Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make Swingline Loans denominated in Dollars to the Company, during the period from the Revolving Credit Effective Date to but excluding the Swingline Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to, but not exceeding, $50,000,000 (the “Swingline Sublimit”), as such amount may be reduced from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof; provided that no Swingline Lender shall be obligated to make Swingline Loans in an aggregate outstanding principal amount in excess of the lesser of (i) one third of the Swingline Sublimit and (ii) an amount equal to (x) the Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment of such Swingline Lender in its capacity as a Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender hereunder, minus (y) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Loans made by such Swingline Lender in its capacity as a Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender hereunder and such Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender’s participation interest under Section 2.4. in all Letters of Credit hereunder (such lesser amount being such Swingline Lender’s “Swingline Availability”). If at any time the aggregate Outstanding Amounts of the Swingline Loans exceed the aggregate Swingline Commitments in effect at such time or the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans made by any Swingline Lender shall exceed such Swingline Lender’s Swingline Availability, the Company shall immediately pay the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Swingline Lender the amount of such excess. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company may borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans hereunder.

(b)    Procedure for Borrowing Swingline Loans. The Company shall give the Administrative Agent and the applicable Swingline Lender notice pursuant to a Notice of

- 78 -

Swingline Borrowing or telephonic notice of each borrowing of a Swingline Loan. Each Notice of Swingline Borrowing shall be delivered to such Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 p.m. New York City time on the proposed date of such borrowing. Any telephonic notice shall include all information to be specified in a written Notice of Swingline Borrowing and shall be promptly confirmed in writing by the Company pursuant to a Notice of Swingline Borrowing sent to such Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar form of communication on the same day of the giving of such telephonic notice. Not later than 2:00 p.m. New York City time on the date of the requested Swingline Loan, the applicable Swingline Lender will make the proceeds of such Swingline Loan available to the Administrative Agent at its Principal Office in Dollars in immediately available funds, for the account of the Company. The Administrative Agent shall, subject to satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 6.2. for such borrowing, make the amount so received available to the Company on such date by depositing the same in Dollars in immediately available funds, in an account of the Company designated by the Company in its Disbursement Instruction Agreement.

(c)    Interest. Swingline Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans or at such other rate or rates as the Company and the applicable Swingline Lender may agree from time to time in writing. Interest on Swingline Loans is solely for the account of the applicable Swingline Lender (except to the extent a Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender acquires a participating interest in a Swingline Loan pursuant to the following subsection (e)). All accrued and unpaid interest on Swingline Loans shall be payable on the dates and in the manner provided in Section 2.6. with respect to interest on Base Rate Loans (except as the applicable Swingline Lender and the Company may otherwise agree in writing in connection with any particular Swingline Loan made by such Swingline Lender).

(d)    Swingline Loan Amounts, Etc. Each Swingline Loan shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof, or such other minimum amounts agreed to by the applicable Swingline Lender and the Company. Any voluntary prepayment of a Swingline Loan must be in integral multiples of $500,000 or the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans (or such other minimum amounts upon which the applicable Swingline Lender and the Company may agree) and, in connection with any such prepayment, the Company must give such Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent prior written notice thereof not later than one (1) Business Day prior to such prepayment and not later than three (3) Business Days following the advance of such Swingline Loan.

(e)    Repayment and Participations of Swingline Loans. The Company agrees to repay each Swingline Loan within one (1) Business Day of demand therefor by the applicable Swingline Lender and, in any event, within five (5) Business Days after the date such Swingline Loan was made (or, if earlier, the date on which any Revolving Credit Loan shall be made following the date such Swingline Loan shall be made); provided, that the proceeds of a Swingline Loan may not be used to pay a Swingline Loan. Any Swingline Lender making demand for repayment of a Swingline Loan made by such Swingline Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent of such demand on the date such demand is made. Notwithstanding the

- 79 -

foregoing, the Company shall repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Swingline Loans on the Swingline Maturity Date. In lieu of demanding repayment of any outstanding Swingline Loan from the Company, the applicable Swingline Lender may, on behalf of the Company (which hereby irrevocably directs the applicable Swingline Lender to act for and on behalf of the Company), request a borrowing of Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans from the Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders in an amount equal to the principal balance of such Swingline Loan. The amount limitations contained in the second sentence of Section 2.1.(a) shall not apply to any borrowing of such Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to this subsection. Such Swingline Lender shall give notice to the Administrative Agent of any such borrowing of Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Loans not later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time at least one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed date of such borrowing. Promptly after receipt of such notice of borrowing of Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Loans from such Swingline Lender under the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender of the proposed borrowing. Not later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the proposed date of such borrowing, each Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office for the account of such Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, the proceeds of the Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Loan to be made by such Revolving Credit Lender. The Administrative Agent shall pay the proceeds of such Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Loans to such Swingline Lender, which shall apply such proceeds to repay such Swingline Loan. If the Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders are prohibited from making Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Loans required to be made under this subsection for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, the occurrence of any of the Defaults or Events of Default described in Sections 11.1.(e) or (f), each Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender shall purchase from the applicable Swingline Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Lender’s Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Swingline Loan, by directly purchasing a participation in such Swingline Loan in such amount and paying the proceeds thereof to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Swingline Lender in Dollars and in immediately available funds. A Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to purchase such a participation in a Swingline Loan shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, (i) any claim of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Credit Lender or any other Person may have or claim against the Administrative Agent, any Swingline Lender or any other Person whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuation of a Default or Event of Default (including, without limitation, any of the Defaults or Events of Default described in Sections 11.1.(e) or (f)), or the termination of any Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender’s Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment, (iii) the existence (or alleged existence) of an event or condition which has had or could have a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) any breach of any Loan Document by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Company or any other Loan Party, or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. If such amount is not in fact made available to such Swingline Lender by any Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender, such Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Credit Lender, together with accrued interest thereon for each day from the date of demand thereof, at the Federal Funds Rate. If

- 80 -

such Revolving Credit Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon such Swingline Lender’s demand therefor, and until such time as such Revolving Credit Lender makes the required payment, such Swingline Lender shall be deemed to continue to have outstanding Swingline Loans in the amount of such unpaid participation obligation for all purposes of the Loan Documents (other than those provisions requiring the other Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders to purchase a participation therein). Further, such Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Loans, and any other amounts due it hereunder, to such Swingline Lender to fund Swingline Loans in the amount of the participation in Swingline Loans that such Revolving Credit Lender failed to purchase pursuant to this Section until such amount has been purchased (as a result of such assignment or otherwise).

Section 2.6. Rates and Payment of Interest on Loans.

(a)    Rates. Each Borrower promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made by such Lender to such Borrower in the currency of such Loan (subject to Sections 2.10., 3.1.(b) and 5.2.) for the period from and including the date of the making of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at the following per annum rates:

(i)    during such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate (as in effect from time to time), plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans;

(ii)    during such periods as such Loan is a LIBOR Loan, at LIBOR for such Loan for the applicable Agreed Currency and Interest Period therefor, plus the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans;

(iii)    during such periods as such Loan is a CDOR Loan, at CDOR for the Interest Period therefor, plus the Applicable Margin for CDOR Loans;

(iv)    during such periods as such Loan is an AUD Rate Loan, at the AUD Rate for the Interest Period therefor, plus the Applicable Margin for AUD Rate Loans;

(v)    if such Loan is an Absolute Rate Loan, at the Absolute Rate for such Loan for the Interest Period therefor quoted by the Lender making such Loan in accordance with Section 2.3.; and

(vi)    if such Loan is a LIBOR Margin Loan, at LIBOR for such Loan for the Interest Period therefor plus the LIBOR Margin quoted by the Lender making such Loan in accordance with Section 2.3.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) automatically upon any Event of Default under Section 11.1.(a), (e) or (f), or (b) at the option of the Requisite Lenders (upon notice to the Company) while any other Event of Default exists, each Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender and each Issuing Bank, as the case may be, interest at the Post-Default Rate on the outstanding principal amount of any Loan made by such Lender to such Borrower, on all Reimbursement Obligations and on any other amount payable by such Borrower hereunder or under the Notes held by such Lender to or for the account of such Lender (including, without limitation, accrued but unpaid interest to the extent permitted under Applicable Law).

- 81 -

(b)    Payment of Interest. All accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal amount of each Loan shall be payable (x) (i) in the case of a LIBOR Loan, a CDOR Loan or an AUD Rate Loan, on the last Business Day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loan, CDOR Loan or AUD Rate Loan (but in any event not less frequently than once every three calendar months) and (ii) in the case of all other Loans, monthly in arrears on the first day of each month, commencing with the first full calendar month occurring after the Term Loan Effective Date and (y) on any date on which the principal balance of such Loan is due and payable in full (whether at maturity, due to acceleration or otherwise). Interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand. All determinations by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on the Lenders and the Borrowers for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c)    Company Information Used to Determine Applicable Interest Rates. The parties understand that the applicable interest rate for the Obligations and certain fees set forth herein may be determined and/or adjusted from time to time based upon certain financial ratios and/or other information to be provided or certified to the Lenders by the Company (the “Company Information”). If it is subsequently determined that any such Company Information was incorrect (for whatever reason, including, without limitation, because of a subsequent restatement of earnings by the Company) at the time it was delivered to the Administrative Agent, and if the applicable interest rate or fees calculated for any period were lower than they should have been had the correct information been timely provided, then such interest rate and such fees for such period shall be automatically recalculated using correct Company Information. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company in writing of any additional interest and fees due because of such recalculation, and the Company shall pay such additional interest or fees due to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such written notice. Any recalculation of interest or fees required by this provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and this provision shall not in any way limit any of the Administrative Agent’s, any Issuing Bank’s, or any Lender’s other rights under this Agreement.

The Company shall repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued interest on, each Bid Rate Loan on the last day of the Interest Period of such Bid Rate Loan in Dollars (or such earlier date on which such Bid Rate Loan becomes due or is declared due in accordance with this Agreement); it being acknowledged that the Company may repay any Bid Rate Loans with the proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans or Swingline Loans.

Section 2.9. Prepayments.

(a)    Optional. Subject to Section 5.4., any Borrower may prepay any Loan other than a Bid Rate Loan in full or in part at any time without premium or penalty. A Bid Rate Loan may only be prepaid, subject to Section 5.4., (i) with the prior written consent of the Lender holding such Bid Rate Loan, (ii) to the extent the Company has expressly stated in the Bid Rate Quote Request for such Bid Rate Loans that such Bid Rate Loans are subject to prepayment at the option of the Company or (iii) in connection with a prepayment in full of the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The applicable Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent written notice at least two (2) Business Days prior to the prepayment in the case of any LIBOR Loan in Dollars, four (4) Business Days prior to the prepayment in the case of any CDOR Loan or any AUD Rate Loan or any LIBOR Loan denominated in a Foreign Currency and not later than 12:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day of the prepayment, in the case of any Base Rate Loan.

(b)    Mandatory.

(i)    Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment Overadvance. If at any time the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all outstanding Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Loans, Swingline Loans and Bid Rate Loans exceeds the aggregate amount of the Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrowers shall immediately upon demand pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders then holding Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Commitments (or if the Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Commitments have been terminated, then holding outstanding Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Loans, Bid Rate Loans and/or Swingline Loans), the amount of such excess. All payments under this subsection (b)(i) shall be applied in accordance with Section 11.4.(a)(i).

Section 2.10. Continuation.

So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, any Borrower may on any Business Day, with respect to any LIBOR Loan, CDOR Loan or AUD Rate Loan, elect to maintain such Loan or any portion thereof as a LIBOR Loan, CDOR Loan or AUD Rate Loan, as applicable, by selecting a new Interest Period for such Loan. Each Continuation of a LIBOR Loan, CDOR Loan or AUD Rate Loan shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $2,000,000 (or, if such Loan is denominated in a Foreign Currency, 2,000,000 units of such currency) and integral multiples of $500,000 (or, if such Loan is denominated in a Foreign Currency, 500,000 units of such currency) in excess of that amount, and each new Interest Period selected under this Section shall commence on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period. Each selection of a new Interest Period shall be made by such Borrower’s giving to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Continuation (x) with respect to any such Loans denominated in Dollars, not later than 1:00 p.m. Local Time on the third Business Day prior to the date of any such Continuation or, (y) with respect to any such Loan denominated in a Foreign Currency, not later than 11:00 a.m. Local Time on the fourth (4^th) Business Day prior to the date of any such Continuation (or, with respect to certain Foreign Currencies requiring additional notice designated by the Administrative Agent, on the fifth (5^th) Business Day prior to the date of any such Continuation).

Each Notice of Continuation shall be irrevocable by and binding on the applicable Borrower once given. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed Continuation. If such Borrower shall fail to select in a timely manner a new Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan, CDOR Loan or AUD Rate Loan in accordance with this Section, such Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, continue as a LIBOR Loan, a CDOR Loan or an AUD Rate Loan, as applicable, with an Interest Period of one month; provided, however that if a Default or Event of Default exists, unless repaid such Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor and notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 2.11. or such Borrower’s failure to comply with any of the terms of such Section 2.11., (i) in the case of a LIBOR Loan denominated in Dollars, Convert into a Base Rate Loan and (ii) in the case of CDOR Loan or an AUD Rate Loan or a LIBOR Loan denominated in a Foreign Currency, be redenominated in Dollars and Converted to a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount (as of the date of Conversion) of such Loan.

Section 2.11. Conversion.

So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, any Borrower may on any Business Day, upon such Borrower’s giving of a Notice of Conversion to the Administrative Agent by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar form of communication, Convert all or a portion of a Loan denominated in Dollars of one Type into a Loan of another Type; provided, however, that (a) a Loan in one Agreed Currency cannot be voluntarily converted into a Loan in a different Agreed Currency and (b) a Base Rate Loan may not be Converted into a LIBOR Loan if a Default or Event of Default exists. Each Conversion of Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans

- 85 -

shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $2,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount. Any Conversion of a LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan. Each such Notice of Conversion shall be given not later than (i) 11:00 a.m. New York City time three (3) Business Days prior to the date of any proposed Conversion into LIBOR Loans and (ii) 11:00 a.m. New York City time two (2) Business Days prior to the date of any proposed Conversion into Base Rate Loans.

- 87 -

(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), the Company may not reduce the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments below $100,000,000 unless the Company is terminating the Revolving Credit Commitments in full.

(c)    If a Drawing pursuant to any such Letter of Credit described in subsection (a) or (b) above occurs on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the Company irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to use the monies deposited in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for the payment made by such Issuing Bank to the beneficiary with respect to such Drawing or the payee with respect to such presentment.

(a)    The Company shall have the right to request increases in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments, to request Additional Term Loan Advances in respect of the Term Loan Facility, to add one or more new term loan tranches (“Additional Tranche Loans”, together with the Additional Term Loan Advances, the “Incremental Term Loans”) or to add one or more new revolving loan tranches (“Additional Revolving Tranche Commitments”, together with increases to the Revolving Credit Commitments, the “Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments”, and the Incremental Term Loans together with the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, the “Incremental Credit Facilities”) (or any combination of the foregoing) by providing written notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that any such Incremental Credit Facilities shall not exceed $500,000,000 in the aggregate.

The Arrangers, in consultation with the Company, shall manage all aspects of the syndication of such Incremental Credit Facilities, including decisions as to the selection of the existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders to be approached with respect to Incremental Credit Facilities among such existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, participation in all or any portion of such Incremental Credit Facility may be offered by the Arrangers to any existing Lender in the applicable Facility selected by the Company or to any other bank, financial institution or other institutional lender selected by the Company, subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, each Swingline Lender (with respect to increases in the Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Commitments) and each Issuing Bank (with respect to increases in the Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Commitments), in each case to the extent set forth in clause (w) of subsection (e) below. No Lender shall be obligated in any way whatsoever to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment or to provide any other Incremental Credit Facility, as applicable, and any new Lender becoming a party to this Agreement in connection with any such requested increase must be an Eligible Assignee.

(b)    If a new Lender becomes a party to this Agreement as a Revolving Credit Lender, or if any existing Revolving Credit Lender is increasing its Revolving Credit Commitment under any Tranche, such Lender shall on the date it becomes a Revolving Credit Lender hereunder or, in the case of an existing Revolving Credit Lender, increases its Revolving Credit Commitment under such Tranche (and as a condition thereto) purchase from the other Revolving Credit Lenders under such Tranche its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage (determined with respect to the Revolving Credit Lenders’ respective Revolving Credit Commitments and after giving effect to the increase of Revolving Credit Commitments under such Tranche) of any outstanding Revolving Credit Loans under such Tranche, by making available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such other Revolving Credit Lenders under such Tranche, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to the sum of (A) the portion of the Outstanding Amount of such Revolving Credit Loans under such Tranche to be purchased by such Lender, plus (B) solely with respect to a new Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender, the aggregate amount of payments previously made by the other Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders under Section 2.4.(j) that have not been

repaid, plus (C) interest accrued and unpaid to and as of such date on such portion of the Outstanding Amount of such Revolving Credit Loan under such Tranche. The applicable Borrower shall pay to the Revolving Credit Lenders under such Tranche amounts payable, if any, to such Revolving Credit Lenders under such Tranche under Section 5.4. as a result of the prepayment of any such Revolving Credit Loans.

(c)    If pursuant to this Section 2.17. one or more Additional Term Loan Lenders shall agree to make an applicable Additional Term Loan Advance, such Additional Term Loan Advance shall be made, on a date agreed to by the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Additional Term Loan Lender, in accordance with the following conditions and procedures:

(i)    Not later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time at least one (1) Business Day prior to a borrowing of Base Rate Loans comprising all or a portion of an Additional Term Loan Advance and not later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time at least three (3) Business Days prior to a borrowing of LIBOR Loans comprising all or a portion of an Additional Term Loan Advance, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (A) a Notice of Borrowing with respect to such Additional Term Loan Advance and (B) Notices of Continuation and/or Notices of Conversion with respect to the then outstanding Term Loans, such that, on the date of such Additional Term Loan Advance, the Term Loans then outstanding and such Additional Term Loan Advance shall be combined so that all Term Loan Lenders (including such Additional Term Loan Lender) hold pro rata amounts of each portion of the Term Loans (including such Additional Term Loan Advance) of each Type and Interest Period. Each such Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Conversion and Notice of Continuation shall specify the Type of such Term Loan (or Additional Term Loan Advance, as applicable), and if such portion of such Term Loan (or Additional Term Loan Advance, as applicable), is to be a LIBOR Loan, the Interest Period therefor, all in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence. Such notices shall be irrevocable once given and binding on the Company.

(ii)    Each Additional Term Loan Lender shall deposit an amount equal to its applicable Additional Term Loan Advances with the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds not later than 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the date on which it has agreed to make such Additional Term Loan Advance. Subject to fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall make available to the Company at the Principal Office, not later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time on such date the proceeds of such amounts received by the Administrative Agent.

(iii)    The Company shall pay to the Term Loan Lenders amounts payable, if any, to such Term Loan Lenders under Section 5.4. as a result of the Conversion of any portion of the Term Loans as provided above.

(d)    Incremental Term Loans and Additional Revolving Tranche Commitments may be made hereunder pursuant to an amendment or an amendment and restatement (an “Incremental Facility Amendment”) of this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrowers, each Lender participating in such tranche and the

- 92 -

Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 13.7., the Incremental Facility Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.17. Each Incremental Term Loan will mature and amortize in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, each Lender participating in such Tranche and the Company, but will not in any event have a shorter weighted average life to maturity than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the initial Term Loans hereunder or a maturity date earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date. Each Additional Revolving Tranche Commitment shall mature on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, shall bear interest and be entitled to fees (other than upfront, underwriting, arranger or other similar fees), in each case at the rate applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans under the applicable Tranche, and shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Revolving Credit Loans under such Tranche.

(e)    Loans made pursuant to any increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments and the Additional Term Loan Advances shall rank pari passu in right of payment, and shall be secured and guaranteed on a pari passu basis, with the Revolving Credit Loans and the Term Loans.

(f)    The effectiveness of Incremental Credit Facilities under this Section are subject to the following conditions precedent: (w) the approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of any new Lender (other than an Eligible Assignee) by the Administrative Agent and, with respect to any increase in the Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Commitments, each Swingline Lender and with respect to any increase in the Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Commitments, each Issuing Bank, (x) no Default or Event of Default shall be in existence on the effective date of such Incremental Credit Facility, (y) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Company or any other Loan Party in any Loan Document to which such Loan Party is a party shall be true and correct in all material respects (unless such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality, in which event such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on the effective date of such increase with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (unless such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality, in which event such representation and warranty shall have been true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances permitted under the Loan Documents, and (z) the Administrative Agent shall have received each of the following, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent: (i) if not previously delivered to the Administrative Agent, copies certified by the secretary or assistant secretary (or other individual performing similar functions) of (A) all corporate, partnership, member or other necessary action taken by the Company to authorize such Incremental Credit Facility and (B) all corporate, partnership, member or other necessary action taken by each Guarantor authorizing the guaranty of such Incremental Credit Facility; (ii) a supplement to this Agreement executed by the Company and any Lender providing such Incremental Credit Facility which supplement may include such amendments to this Agreement as the Administrative Agent deems reasonably necessary or appropriate to implement the transactions

- 93 -

contemplated by this Section 2.17., together with the consent of the Guarantors thereto; (iii) if requested by the Administrative Agent or any new Lender or Lender providing such Incremental Credit Facility, an opinion of counsel to the Loan Parties, and addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders covering such matters as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent; (iv) if requested by any new Revolving Credit Lender or any existing Revolving Credit Lender increasing its Revolving Credit Commitment, a new Revolving Credit Note executed by the Company, payable to any new Lenders and a replacement Revolving Credit Note executed by the Company, payable to any existing Revolving Credit Lender increasing its Revolving Credit Commitment, in the amount of such Lender’s applicable Revolving Credit Commitment at the time of the effectiveness of the applicable increase in the aggregate amount of the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments and (v) if requested by any Additional Term Loan Lender, a new Term Loan Note or replacement Term Loan Note executed by the Company payable to such Additional Term Loan Lender in the amount of such Lender’s Term Loans. In connection with any Incremental Credit Facility pursuant to this Section 2.17., any Lender becoming a party hereto shall (1) execute such documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and (2) in the case of any Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America, provide to the Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other information as shall be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply with “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation, the Patriot Act.

Section 2.18. Funds Transfer Disbursements.

Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of any Loan made by the Lenders or any of their Affiliates pursuant to the Loan Documents as requested by an authorized representative of such Borrower, or the Company on behalf of such Borrower, to any of the accounts designated in its Disbursement Instruction Agreement.

Section 2.19. Determination of Dollar Amounts.

The Administrative Agent will determine the Dollar Amount of each Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Loan:

(a)    as of the date of a request for any Credit Event or, if applicable, the date of a request for a Conversion or Continuation of any Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Borrowing;

(b)    on and as of the last Business Day of each calendar quarter; and

(c)    during the continuation of an Event of Default, on any other Business Day elected by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion or upon instruction by the Requisite Lenders or the Requisite Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders.

Each day upon or as of which the Administrative Agent determines Dollar Amounts as described in the preceding clauses (a), (b) and (c) is herein described as a “Computation Date” with respect to each Credit Event for which a Dollar Amount is determined on or as of such day.

- 94 -

Section 2.20. Judgment Currency.

If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from any Borrower hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s main office on the Business Day preceding that on which final, non appealable judgment is given. The obligations of any Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, such Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum originally due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency and (b) any amounts shared with other Lenders as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender under Section 3.1., such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to such Borrower.

Section 2.21. Designation of Subsidiary Borrowers.

(a)    Subject to Section 2.21.(b), the Company may at any time and from time to time upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree) designate any Eligible Foreign Subsidiary as a Subsidiary Borrower by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement (which document may include certain limitations of the obligations of a Foreign Subsidiary signatory thereto in respect of this Agreement which are required pursuant to applicable laws of the jurisdiction of organization of such Foreign Subsidiary and which are mutually agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Company) executed by such Subsidiary and the Company and the satisfaction of the other conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.4., and upon such delivery and satisfaction such Subsidiary shall for all purposes of this Agreement be a Subsidiary Borrower and a party to this Agreement until the Company shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Subsidiary Termination with respect to such Subsidiary, whereupon such Subsidiary shall cease to be a Subsidiary Borrower and a party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, no Borrowing Subsidiary Termination will become effective as to any Subsidiary Borrower at a time when any principal of or interest on any Loan to such Borrower shall be outstanding hereunder, provided that such Borrowing Subsidiary Termination shall be effective to terminate the right of such Subsidiary Borrower to request further Credit Events under this Agreement. As soon as practicable upon receipt of a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall furnish a copy thereof to each Lender. Without limiting the

- 95 -

foregoing and except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 13.7., in connection with the initial designation of any Borrower as a Subsidiary Borrower, this Agreement may be amended pursuant to an amendment or an amendment and restatement (a “Foreign Subsidiary Borrower Amendment”) executed by the Company, the applicable Foreign Subsidiary and the Administrative Agent, without the consent of any other Lenders, in order to effect such amendments to this Agreement as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and its counsel, to effect this Section 2.21. as it relates to such Foreign Subsidiary or its home jurisdiction. Such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower Amendment may be in addition to, or in substitution for, a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any Lender determines that, as a result of any applicable law, rule, regulation or treaty or any applicable request, rule, requirement, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority, it is or it becomes unlawful, or shall otherwise determine that it would constitute a violation of such Lender’s internal policies, for such Lender to perform any of its obligations as contemplated by this Agreement with respect to any Subsidiary Borrower or any Eligible Foreign Subsidiary or for such Lender to fund or maintain any participation or any Loan to any Subsidiary Borrower or any Eligible Foreign Subsidiary:

(i)    such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent upon becoming aware of such event;

(ii)    (x) such Eligible Foreign Subsidiary shall not be permitted to become a Subsidiary Borrower and (y) the obligations of all Lenders to make, convert or continue any participations and Loans to such Subsidiary Borrower shall be suspended, as the case may be, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist; and

(iii)    the Borrowers shall repay any outstanding participations or Loans made to such Subsidiary Borrower on the last day of the Interest Period for each Loan occurring after the Administrative Agent has notified the Company or, if earlier, the date specified by the Lender in the notice delivered to the Administrative Agent (being no earlier than the last day of any applicable grace period permitted by law).

Section 2.22. Permitted Extension Amendments.

(a)    The Company may (i) with respect to any requested extension of the Term Loan Facility, at any time or from time to time not more than one hundred twenty (120) days and not less than thirty (30) days prior to any anniversary of the Agreement Date and (ii) in the case of any requested extension of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, (A) not more than one hundred twenty (120) days and not less than thirty (30) days prior to the then-current Revolving Credit Maturity Date and (B) solely to the extent the Company shall have executed each Option to Extend pursuant to Section 2.14., in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii), by notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders under the applicable Tranche), request that each Term Loan Lender and/or each Revolving Credit Lender extend (each such date on which an extension occurs, an “Extension Date”) such Lender’s Maturity Date for such Tranche to the date that is one year after the Maturity Date for such Tranche then in effect

- 96 -

for such Lender (the “Existing Maturity Date”), subject to the terms and conditions contained in such request which may include (i) an increase in the interest rate or other fees applicable solely with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments in respect of which such extension is made to apply on and after the Extension Date and (ii) the inclusion of additional fees to be payable to the Extending Lenders (as defined below) in connection with such extension (including any upfront fees).

(b)    Each Lender under the applicable Tranche, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent given not later than the date that is fifteen (15) days after the date on which the Administrative Agent received the Company’s extension request (the “Lender Notice Date”), advise the Administrative Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension under such Tranche (each Lender that determines to so extend its applicable Maturity Date under such Tranche, an “Extending Lender”). Each Lender that determines not to so extend its applicable Maturity Date under such Tranche (a “Non-Extending Lender”) shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any event no later than the Lender Notice Date), and any Lender under such Tranche that does not so advise the Administrative Agent on or before the Lender Notice Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender. The election of any Lender under such Tranche to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Lender under the same Tranche to so agree, and it is understood and agreed that no Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to agree to any request made by the Company for extension of the applicable Maturity Date.

(c)    The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company of each Lender’s determination under this Section.

(d)    The Company shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, on or before the applicable Maturity Date for any Non-Extending Lender to replace such Non-Extending Lender with, and add as “Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders”, “Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders”, and/or “Term Loan Lenders”, as the case may be, under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more financial institutions under the applicable Tranche (each, an “Additional Lender”) approved by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks in accordance with the procedures provided in Section 5.6., each of which Additional Lenders shall have entered into an Assignment and Assumption (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 13.7., with the Company obligated to pay any applicable processing or recordation fee) with such Non-Extending Lender, pursuant to which such Additional Lenders shall, effective on or before the applicable Maturity Date for such Non-Extending Lender, assume Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Term Loans, as the case may be (and, if any such Additional Lender is already a Lender, its Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loans, as applicable, shall be in addition to such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loans, as applicable, hereunder on such date). Prior to any Non-Extending Lender being replaced by one or more Additional Lenders pursuant hereto, such Non-Extending Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, by giving irrevocable notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Company (which notice shall set forth such Lender’s new applicable Maturity Date), to become an Extending Lender. The Administrative Agent may effect such amendments to this Agreement as are reasonably necessary to provide for any such extensions with the consent of the Company but without the consent of any other Lenders.

- 97 -

(e)    If (and only if) (x) with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, the total of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders that have agreed to extend their Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the new or increased Revolving Credit Commitments of any Additional Lenders is more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments in effect immediately prior to the applicable Extension Date and (y) with respect to the Term Loan Facility, the total of the outstanding Term Loans of the Term Loan Lenders that have agreed to extend their Term Loan Maturity Date and the assumed Term Loans of any Additional Lenders is more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to the applicable Extension Date, then, in each case, effective as of the applicable Extension Date, the applicable Maturity Date of each Extending Lender under the applicable Tranche and of each Additional Lender shall be extended to the date that is one year after the Existing Maturity Date for such Tranche (except that, if such date is not a Business Day, such Maturity Date as so extended shall be the next preceding Business Day) and each Additional Lender shall thereupon become a “Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender”, “Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender”, and/or “Term Loan Lender”, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement and shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement as a Lender under such Tranche hereunder and shall have the obligations of a Lender under such Tranche hereunder. For purposes of clarity, it is acknowledged and agreed that the Term Loan Maturity Date on any date of determination shall not be a date more than five (5) years after such date of determination, whether such determination is made before or after giving effect to any extension request made hereunder.

(f)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) with respect to any extension of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date pursuant to this Section 2.22., the Company shall have first exercised each of its Options to Extend pursuant to Section 2.14. and (y) any extension of any Maturity Date pursuant to this Section 2.22. shall not be effective with respect to any Extending Lender unless:

(i)    no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the applicable Extension Date and immediately after giving effect thereto;

(ii)    the representations and warranties made or deemed made by each Borrower or any other Loan Party in any Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party, shall be true and correct in all material respects (unless such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality, in which event such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such Extension Date with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (unless such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality, in which event such representation and warranty shall have been true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances permitted under the Loan Documents; and

- 98 -

(iii)    the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate dated as of the applicable Extension Date from the Company signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company (A) certifying the accuracy of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) and (B) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Loan Parties approving or consenting to such extension.

(g)    On the applicable Maturity Date of each Non-Extending Lender, (i) with respect to any extension of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, any Revolving Credit Commitment of each Non-Extending Lender shall automatically terminate and (ii) the applicable Borrower shall repay such Non-Extending Lender in accordance with Section 2.8. (and shall pay to such Non-Extending Lender all of the other Obligations owing to it under this Agreement) and after giving effect thereto shall prepay any Revolving Credit Loans and/or Term Loans outstanding on such date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 5.4.) to the extent necessary to keep outstanding Loans under the applicable Tranche ratable with any revised applicable percentages of the respective Lenders under such Tranche effective as of such date, and, with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, the Administrative Agent shall administer any necessary reallocation of the Revolving Credit Exposures (without regard to any minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and/or pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement).

(h)    This Section shall supersede any provisions in Sections 3.1., 3.2., 3.3. or 13.7. to the contrary.

ARTICLE III. PAYMENTS, FEES AND OTHER GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 3.1. Payments.

(a)    Payments by Borrowers. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest, Fees and other amounts to be made by any Borrower, or the Company on behalf of the applicable Borrower, under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim (excluding Taxes required to be withheld pursuant to Section 3.10.), to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. New York City time on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Subject to Section 11.4., each Borrower, or the Company on behalf of the applicable Borrower, shall, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, specify to the Administrative Agent the amounts payable by such Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied. Each payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender under this Agreement or any Note shall be paid to such Lender by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring instructions provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent from time to time, for the account of such Lender at the applicable Lending Office of such Lender. Each payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank under this Agreement shall be paid to such Issuing Bank by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring instructions provided by such Issuing Bank to the Administrative Agent from time to time, for the account of such Issuing Bank. In the event the Administrative Agent fails to pay

- 99 -

such amounts to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on the Business Day of receipt of such amounts if received by the Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m. New York City time on such day or, if received by the Administrative Agent later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time, then within one Business Day of receipt of such amounts, the Administrative Agent shall pay interest on such amount until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall continue to accrue at the rate, if any, applicable to such payment for the period of such extension.

(b)    Payments of Multicurrency Tranche Loans. All payments of Multicurrency Tranche Loans (and interest thereon) hereunder shall be made in the same currency in which the applicable Loan was made; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, if, after the making of any Loan in any Foreign Currency, (i) currency control or exchange regulations are imposed in the country which issues such currency with the result that the type of currency in which the Loan was made no longer exists, (ii) such Loan is Converted to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.11. or 5.2. or (iii) the applicable Borrower, or the Company on behalf of the applicable Borrower, is otherwise not able to make payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders in such original currency, then all payments to be made by such Borrower, or by the Company on behalf of such Borrower, hereunder in such currency shall instead be made when due in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount (as of the date of repayment in the case of clauses (i) and (iii), or as of the date of Conversion in the case of clause (ii)) of such payment due, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the Company and, in the case of any other Borrower, the Company, takes all risks of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulations or any such required Conversion or inability to make a payment in such original currency, and such Borrower and, for any other Borrower, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from and against any loss resulting from any Loan denominated in a Foreign Currency that is not repaid in the original currency.

(c)    Presumptions Regarding Payments by Borrowers. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the relevant Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or any Issuing Bank 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 (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lenders or such Issuing Bank, 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 such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent on demand that amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, 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 greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

All payments of principal, interest, fees and other amounts in respect of the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the applicable Swingline

- 101 -

Lender only (except to the extent any Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender shall have acquired a participating interest in any such Swingline Loan pursuant to Section 2.5.(e), in which case such payments shall be pro rata in accordance with such participating interests).

Section 3.3. Sharing of Payments, Etc.

If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan under this Agreement or shall obtain payment on any other Obligation owing by any Borrower or any other Loan Party through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar right or otherwise or through voluntary prepayments directly to a Lender or other payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Lender (other than any payment in respect of Specified Derivatives Obligations) not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such payment should be distributed to the Lenders in accordance with Section 3.2. or Section 11.4., as applicable, such Lender shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders’ participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans made by the other Lenders or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such payment (net of any reasonable expenses which may actually be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such benefit) in accordance with the requirements of Section 3.2. or Section 11.5., as applicable. To such end, all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation (or direct interest) in the Loans or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders may exercise all rights of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrowers.

Section 3.4. Several Obligations.

No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not relieve the obligation of any other Lender to make any Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.

Section 3.7. Usury.

In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable on the Loans or other Obligations exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law and, if any such payment is paid by any Borrower or any other Loan Party or received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless the relevant Borrower shall notify the respective Lender in writing that such Borrower elects to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Borrowers not pay and the Lenders not receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by the Borrowers under Applicable Law. The parties hereto hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon the Borrowers for the use of money in connection with this Agreement is and shall be the interest specifically described in Section 2.6.(a)(i) through (vi) and, with respect to Swingline Loans, in Section 2.5.(c).

The failure of the Administrative Agent to deliver such a statement of accounts shall not relieve or discharge any Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder.

- 106 -

Section 3.9. Defaulting Lenders.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

Any payment of principal, interest, Fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article XI. or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 13.4. 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 such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize any Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with subsection (e) below; fourth, as any Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such 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 deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize any Issuing Bank’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future applicable Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with subsection (e) below; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such 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 any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such 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 amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender under Section 2.4.(j) in respect of Letters of Credit (such amounts “L/C Disbursements”), in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Article VI. were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Disbursements 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 Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in (i) Letter of Credit Liabilities are held by the Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages and (ii) Swingline Loans are held by the Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), determined without giving effect to the following subsection (d)). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or

- 107 -

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 subsection shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(c)    Certain Fees.

(i)    During the period from the Term Loan Effective Date to but excluding the Investment Grade Pricing Effective Date, no Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Fee payable under Section 3.5.(b)(i) or 3.5.(b)(ii) 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). From and after the Investment Grade Pricing Effective Date, each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Fee payable under Sections 3.5.(b)(iii) or 3.5.(b)(iv) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to the sum of (1) the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any applicable Tranche funded by it, and (2) its Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the Stated Amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section 3.9.

(ii)     Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive the Fee payable under Section 3.5.(c) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section 3.9.

(iii)    No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive the Fee payable under Section 3.5.(e) or (f) 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 paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(iv)    With respect to any Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to the immediately preceding clauses (i) through (iii), the Company shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such Fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to the immediately following subsection (d), (y) pay to the applicable Issuing Bank and the applicable Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such Fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent not reallocated to Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to the immediately following subsection (d) and allocable to such Issuing Bank’s or such Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender and not, in the case of such Issuing Bank, Cash Collateralized in accordance with subsection (e) of this Section 3.9., and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such Fee.

- 108 -

(d)    Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure.

(i) All or any part of such Defaulting Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender’s participation in Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (determined without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Article VI. are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Company shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Company shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Exposure of any Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender that is a Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment. Subject to Section 13.22., no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Revolving Credit Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(ii) All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s (that is a Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender) participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities shall be reallocated among the Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (determined without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Article VI. are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Company shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Company shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Exposure of any Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender that is a Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment. Subject to Section 13.22., no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Revolving Credit Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(e)    Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans.

(i)    If the reallocation described in the immediately preceding subsection (d) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Company shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the applicable Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the applicable Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in this subsection.

- 109 -

(ii)    At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one (1) Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Company shall Cash Collateralize such Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to the immediately preceding subsection (d) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the aggregate Fronting Exposure of such Issuing Bank with respect to the applicable Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at such time.

(iii)    The Company, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Issuing Bank, and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Liabilities, to be applied pursuant to the immediately following clause (iv). 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 and such Issuing Bank as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the aggregate Fronting Exposure of such Issuing Bank with respect to the applicable Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at such time, the Company 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 (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(iv)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Liabilities (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(v)    Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the applicable Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this subsection following (x) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Revolving Credit Lender), or (y) the determination by the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to subsection (b) of this Section 3.9., the Person providing Cash Collateral and such Issuing Bank may (but shall not be obligated to) agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and provided further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Company, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

(f)    Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Company, the Administrative Agent, each Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank agree in writing that a Revolving Credit Lender is no

- 110 -

longer 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 Revolving Credit 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 Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders (solely with respect to Letters of Credit) and the Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders (solely with respect to Swingline Loans) in accordance with their respective Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages or Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages, as the case may be (determined, in each case, without giving effect to the preceding subsection (d)), whereupon such Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that, subject to Section 13.22., except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Revolving Credit Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Revolving Credit Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(g)    New Swingline Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) no Swingline Lender shall be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (ii) no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

(h)    Purchase of Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. During any period that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Company may, by the Company’s giving written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, demand that such Defaulting Lender, and upon such demand such Defaulting Lender shall promptly, so long as such assignment shall not conflict with Applicable Law, assign its Revolving Credit Commitment, its Loans and all of its other interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6.(b). No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. In addition, any Lender who is not a Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, in its sole discretion, acquire the face amount of all or a portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and Loans via an assignment subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6.(b). In connection with any such assignment, such Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to effect such assignment, including an appropriate Assignment and Assumption and, notwithstanding Section 13.6.(b), shall pay to the Administrative Agent an assignment fee in the amount of $7,500 (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent shall agree). The exercise by the Company of its rights under this Section shall be at the Company’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders.

Section 3.10. Foreign Lenders; Taxes.

(a)    Issuing Banks. For purposes of this Section, the term “Lender” includes each Issuing Bank and the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.

(b)    Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower or any other Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by such Borrower or other applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c)    Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. The Borrowers and the Guarantors shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d)    Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers and the other Guarantors shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 30 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the relevant Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of a Borrower other than the Company, the Company), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that the determinations in such statement are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

(e)    Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that a Borrower or a Guarantor has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.6. relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A

- 112 -

certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this subsection.

(f)    Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Borrower or any Guarantor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, such Borrower or such Guarantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(g)    Status of Lenders.

(i)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in the immediately following clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(A)    any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of

rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.

ARTICLE V. YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.

Section 5.1. Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a)    Capital Adequacy. If any Lender determines that any Regulatory Change affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Commitments or Term Loan Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time, within thirty (30) days after written demand by such Lender, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(b)    Additional Costs. In addition to, and not in limitation of the immediately preceding subsection (a), the Borrowers shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent on its own account or for the account of a Lender from time to time such amounts as the Administrative Agent or such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate the Administrative Agent or such Lender for any costs incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender that it reasonably determines are attributable to its making or maintaining, continuing or converting of any Loans or its obligation to make, maintain, continue or convert any Loans hereunder, any reduction in any amount receivable by the Administrative Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by the Administrative Agent or such Lender of capital or liquidity in respect of its Loans, its Term Loan Commitments or its Revolving Credit Commitments (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any Regulatory Change that:

(i) subjects the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of

- 116 -

Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

(ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirements (other than Regulation D of the Board or other similar reserve requirement applicable to any other category of liabilities or category of extensions of credit or other assets by reference to which the interest rate on CDOR Loans, AUD Rate Loans, LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Margin Loans is determined to the extent utilized when determining CDOR, the AUD Rate or LIBOR for such Loans) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by such Lender (or its parent corporation), or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Revolving Credit Commitments and the Term Loan Commitments of such Lender hereunder);

(iii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity); or

(iv) imposes on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender.

(c)    Lender’s Suspension of LIBOR Loans, LIBOR Margin Loans, CDOR Loans and AUD Rate Loans. Without limiting the effect of the provisions of the immediately preceding subsections (a) and (b), if by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans, LIBOR Margin Loans, CDOR Loans or AUD Rate Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes LIBOR Loans, LIBOR Margin Loans, CDOR Loans or AUD Rate Loans, or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the relevant Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of a Borrower other than the Company, the Company), the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue LIBOR Loans, CDOR Loans or AUD Rate Loans and/or the obligation of such Lender to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans and/or the obligation of a Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender that has outstanding a Bid Rate Quote to make LIBOR Margin Loans hereunder shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5. shall apply).

(d)    Additional Costs in Respect of Letters of Credit. Without limiting the obligations of the Borrowers under the preceding subsections of this Section (but without duplication), if as a result of any Regulatory Change or any risk-based capital guideline or other requirement heretofore or hereafter issued by any Governmental Authority there shall be imposed, modified or deemed applicable any Tax (other than Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and Connection

- 117 -

Income Taxes), reserve, special deposit, capital adequacy, liquidity or similar requirement against or with respect to or measured by reference to Letters of Credit and the result shall be to increase the cost to any Issuing Bank of issuing (or any Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender of purchasing participations in) or maintaining its obligation hereunder to issue (or purchase participations in) any Letter of Credit or reduce any amount receivable by any Issuing Bank or any Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit, then, upon written demand by such Issuing Bank or such Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender, the Company shall promptly pay to such Issuing Bank or, in the case of such Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender, to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender, from time to time as specified by such Issuing Bank or such Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender, such additional amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate such Issuing Bank or such Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amount.

(e)    Notification and Determination of Additional Costs. Each of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, as the case may be, agrees to notify the Borrowers (and in the case of an Issuing Bank or a Lender, to notify the Administrative Agent) of any event occurring after the Agreement Date entitling the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender to give such notice shall not release any Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder; provided further, that none of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Lenders shall be entitled to claim any additional cost, reduction in amounts, loss, tax or other additional amount under this Article V. if such Person fails to provide such notice to the Borrowers within 180 days of the date the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, becomes aware of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the additional cost, reduction in amounts, loss, tax or other additional amount; provided further that, if such occurrence giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. The Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, as the case may be, agrees to furnish to the applicable Borrower (and, in the case of a Borrower other than the Company, to the Company, and in the case of an Issuing Bank or a Lender, to the Administrative Agent as well) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and amount of each request for compensation under this Section. Determinations by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be (i) made in good faith (and not on an arbitrary or capricious basis) and consistent with such Person’s general practices under similar circumstances in respect of similarly situated customers (it being agreed that none of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall be required to disclose any confidential or proprietary information in connection with such determination or the making of such claim) and (ii) conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. The applicable Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank and/or any such Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.

Section 5.2. Suspension of LIBOR Loans, LIBOR Margin Loans, CDOR Loans and AUD Rate Loans.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of LIBOR, CDOR or the AUD Rate for any Interest Period:

(a)    the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive) that reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, CDOR or the AUD Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period;

(b)    the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR, CDOR or AUD Rate, as applicable, are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for LIBOR Loans, CDOR Loans or AUD Rate Loans, as applicable, as provided herein;

(c)    the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of LIBOR, CDOR or AUD Rate, as applicable, upon the basis of which the rate of interest for LIBOR Loans, CDOR Loans or AUD Rate Loans, as applicable, for such Interest Period is to be determined are not likely to adequately cover the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining LIBOR Loans, CDOR Loans or AUD Rate Loans, as applicable, for such Interest Period;

(d)    the Requisite Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders, the Requisite Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders, or the Requisite Term Loan Lenders, as applicable in respect of any Tranche, advise the Administrative Agent that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of LIBOR, CDOR or AUD Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period as determined by the Administrative Agent, will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their LIBOR Loans, CDOR Loans or AUD Rate Loans, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

(e)    any Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender that has outstanding a Bid Rate Quote with respect to a LIBOR Margin Loan reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that LIBOR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Revolving Credit Lender of making or maintaining such LIBOR Margin Loan;

then the Administrative Agent shall give the Company and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, (i) the Lenders shall be under no obligation to, and shall not, make additional LIBOR Loans, CDOR Loans or AUD Rate Loans, Continue LIBOR Loans, CDOR Loans or AUD Rate Loans or Convert Loans into LIBOR Loans and the relevant Borrower shall, on the last day of each current Interest Period for each outstanding LIBOR Loan, CDOR Loan or AUD Rate Loan, as applicable, either prepay such Loan or (x) in the case of a LIBOR Loan denominated in Dollars, Convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan, or

- 119 -

(y) in the case of a CDOR Loan or an AUD Rate Loan or LIBOR Loan denominated in a Foreign Currency, such Loan shall be automatically redenominated in Dollars and Converted to a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount (as of the date of Conversion of such Loan), and (ii) in the case of clause (d) above, no Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender that has outstanding a Bid Rate Quote with respect to a LIBOR Margin Loan shall be under and obligation to make such Loan.

Section 5.3. Illegality.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (a) if any Lender shall reasonably determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it is unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans, CDOR Loans or AUD Rate Loans hereunder and/or (b) if any Lender that has an outstanding Bid Rate Quote shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it is unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Margin Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the relevant Borrower thereof (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of a Borrower other than the Company, the Company) and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR Loans, CDOR Loans or AUD Rate Loans shall be suspended and/or such Lender’s obligation to make LIBOR Margin Loans shall be suspended, in each case until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans, LIBOR Margin Loans, CDOR Loans or AUD Rate Loans, as the case may be (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5. shall be applicable).

Section 5.4. Compensation.

The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its reasonable discretion shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender for any loss, cost or expense attributable to:

(a)    any payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of a LIBOR Loan, CDOR Loan, AUD Rate Loan or a Bid Rate Loan, or Conversion of a LIBOR Loan, CDOR Loan or AUD Rate Loan, made by such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, acceleration) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or

(b)    any failure by any Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any of the applicable conditions precedent specified in Section 6.2. to be satisfied) to borrow a LIBOR Loan, a CDOR Loan, an AUD Rate Loan or a Bid Rate Loan from such Lender on the date for such borrowing, or to Convert a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan or Continue a LIBOR Loan, CDOR Loan AUD Rate Loan on the requested date of such Conversion or Continuation.

Not in limitation of the foregoing, such compensation shall include, without limitation, (i) in the case of a LIBOR Loan, CDOR Loan or AUD Rate Loan, an amount equal to the then present value of (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on such Loan for the remainder of

- 120 -

the Interest Period at the rate applicable to such Loan, less (B) the amount of interest that would accrue on the same Loan for the same period if LIBOR, CDOR or the AUD Rate, as the case may be, were set on the date on which (x) such LIBOR Loan was repaid, prepaid or Converted or the date on which the relevant Borrower failed to borrow, Convert or Continue such LIBOR Loan, as applicable, or (y) such CDOR Loan or AUD Rate Loan was repaid or prepaid or the date on which the relevant Borrower failed to borrower or continue such CDOR Loan or AUD Rate Loan, as applicable, in each case, calculating present value by using as a discount rate LIBOR, CDOR or the AUD Rate, as the case may be, quoted on such date, and (ii) in the case of a Bid Rate Loan, the sum of such losses and expenses as the Lender or Designated Lender who made such Bid Rate Loan may reasonably incur by reason of such prepayment, including without limitation any losses or expenses incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, in any such case, in each case, excluding any loss of anticipated profits and including 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. The relevant Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. Upon the request of such Borrower or the Company, the Administrative Agent shall provide such Borrower (and in the case of a Borrower other than the Company, with a copy to the Company) with a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof. Any such statement shall be conclusive absent manifest error, provided that that the determinations in such statement are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

Section 5.5. Treatment of Affected Loans.

(a)    If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.1.(c), Section 5.2., or Section 5.3., then such Lender’s LIBOR Loans denominated in Dollars shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for LIBOR Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion required by Section 5.1.(c), Section 5.2., or Section 5.3., on such earlier date as such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, may specify to the relevant Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of a Borrower other than the Company, the Company, as applicable)) and, unless and until such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 5.1.(c), Section 5.2., or Section 5.3. that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:

(i)    to the extent that such Lender’s LIBOR Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and

(ii)    all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as LIBOR Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into LIBOR Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.

- 121 -

If such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, gives notice to such Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Company, as applicable) that the circumstances specified in Section 5.1.(c), 5.2. or 5.3. that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section no longer exist (which such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, then such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, (A) if such Lender is a Revolving Credit Lender, all Revolving Credit Loans held by the Revolving Credit Lenders holding LIBOR Loans and by such Revolving Credit Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments and (B) if such Lender is a Term Loan Lender, all Term Loans held by the Term Loan Lenders holding LIBOR Loans and by such Term Loan Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Term Loan Commitments.

(b)    If the obligation of any Lender to make or Continue LIBOR Loans, CDOR Loans or AUD Rate Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.1.(c), Section 5.2. or Section 5.3., then such Lender’s LIBOR Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency and CDOR Loans and AUD Rate Loans shall be automatically Continued into LIBOR Loans, CDOR Loans or AUD Rate Loans, as applicable, with an Interest Period of one month on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for LIBOR Loans, CDOR Loans or AUD Rate Loans, as applicable (or, in the case of a Continuation required by Section 5.1.(c), Section 5.2., or Section 5.3., on such earlier date as such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, may specify to the relevant Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of a Borrower other than the Company, the Company, as applicable)).

(c)    If the obligation of a Lender to make LIBOR Margin Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.1.(c), 5.2. or 5.3., then the LIBOR Margin Loans of such Lender shall be automatically due and payable on such date as such Lender may specify to the Company by written notice with a copy to the Administrative Agent; provided that if such notice is delivered after 10:00 a.m. New York City time, then such LIBOR Margin Loan shall be due and payable no earlier than the first Business Day following the date such notice is delivered.

Section 5.6. Affected Lenders.

If (a) a Lender (including in its capacity as an Issuing Bank) requests compensation pursuant to Section 3.10. or 5.1., and the Requisite Lenders are not also doing the same, (b) any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender or a Non-Extending Lender or (c) the obligation of any Lender to make or Continue LIBOR Loans, CDOR Loans or AUD Rate Loans, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans, shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.1.(c) or 5.3. but the obligation of the Requisite Lenders shall not have been suspended under such Sections, then the Company may demand that such Lender (the “Affected Lender”), and upon such demand the Affected Lender shall promptly, assign its Revolving Credit Commitments, its Term Loan Commitments, its Loans and all of its other interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6.(b) for a purchase price equal to (x) the aggregate principal balance of

- 122 -

all Loans then owing to the Affected Lender, plus (y) the aggregate amount of payments, if any, previously made by the Affected Lender under Section 2.4.(j) that have not been repaid, plus (z) any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Affected Lender, or any other amount as may be mutually agreed upon by such Affected Lender and Eligible Assignee. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Affected Lender under this Section and the Affected Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser or assignee thereof, including an appropriate Assignment and Assumption, but at no time shall the Administrative Agent, such Affected Lender or any other Lender be obligated in any way whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. The exercise by the Company of its rights under this Section shall be at the Company’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent, the Affected Lender or any of the other Lenders. The terms of this Section shall not in any way limit any Borrower’s obligation to pay to any Affected Lender compensation owing to such Affected Lender pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 3.10., 5.1. or 5.4.) with respect to any period up to the date of replacement.

Section 5.7. Change of Lending Office.

Each Lender agrees that it will, in good faith, use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate an alternate Lending Office with respect to any of its Loans affected by the matters or circumstances described in Sections 3.10., 5.1. or 5.3. to reduce the liability of the Borrowers or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, except that such Lender shall have no obligation to designate a Lending Office located in the United States of America.

Section 5.8. Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Loans, CDOR Loans or AUD Rate Loans.

Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Article shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded LIBOR Loans, CDOR Loans or AUD Rate Loans through the purchase of deposits in the relevant market bearing interest at the rate applicable to such Loans in an amount equal to the amount of such Loans and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans, CDOR Loans and AUD Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be used only for calculation of amounts payable under this Article.

All such investments and reinvestments shall be held in the name of and be under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders; provided, that all earnings on such investments will be credited to and retained in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account. The Administrative Agent shall exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and shall be deemed to have exercised such care if such funds are accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Administrative Agent accords other funds deposited with the Administrative Agent, it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account.

(c)    If a Drawing pursuant to any Letter of Credit occurs on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the Borrowers and the Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders authorize the Administrative Agent to use the monies deposited in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for the payment made by such Issuing Bank to the beneficiary with respect to such Drawing.

(d)    If an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent, if instructed by the Requisite Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders, shall at any time and from time to time elect to liquidate any such investments and reinvestments and apply the proceeds thereof to the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and apply or cause to be applied such proceeds and any other balances in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to the payment of any of the Letter of Credit Liabilities due and payable.

(e)    So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, and to the extent amounts on deposit in or credited to the Letter of Credit Collateral Account exceed the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities then due and owing, the Administrative Agent shall, from time to time, at the request of the Company, deliver to the Company, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, such of the balances in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account (excepting amounts deposited pursuant to clause fifth of Section 3.9.(b)) as exceed the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities at such time. Upon the expiration, termination or cancellation of an Extended Letter of Credit for which the Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders reimbursed (or funded participations in) a drawing deemed to have occurred under the penultimate sentence of Section 2.4.(b) for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account but in respect of which the Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders have not otherwise received payment for the amount so reimbursed or funded, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders the amount so reimbursed or funded for such Extended Letter of Credit that remains in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid

- 171 -

reimbursements or funded participations of the Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders in respect of such Extended Letter of Credit, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever. When all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash and no Letters of Credit remain outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrowers, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, the balances remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account (excepting amounts deposited pursuant to clause fifth of Section 3.9.(b), which shall be applied as provided in Section 3.9.(b)).

(f)    The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent from time to time such fees as the Administrative Agent normally charges for similar services in connection with the Administrative Agent’s administration of the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and investments and reinvestments of funds therein.

Section 11.6. [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

Section 11.7. Performance by Administrative Agent.

If any Borrower or any other Loan Party shall fail to perform any covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent may, after notice to such Borrower, and in the case of a Borrower other than the Company, with a copy to the Company, perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of such Borrower or such other Loan Party after the expiration of any cure or grace periods set forth herein. In such event, such Borrower shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent, promptly pay any amount reasonably expended by the Administrative Agent in such performance or attempted performance to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon at the applicable Post-Default Rate from the date of such expenditure until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability or responsibility whatsoever for the performance of any obligation of the Borrowers under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 11.8. Rights Cumulative.

(a)    Generally. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, of the Specified Derivatives Providers under the Specified Derivatives Contracts and of the Specified Cash Management Banks under the Specified Cash Management Agreements shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any of them may otherwise have under Applicable Law. In exercising their respective rights and remedies the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Lenders, the Specified Derivatives Providers and the Specified Cash Management Banks may be selective and no failure or delay by any such Lender Party in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of it, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude its other or further exercise or the exercise of any other power or right.

(b)    Enforcement by Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and

- 172 -

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 Article XI. for the benefit of all the Lenders and the Issuing Banks; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) 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, (ii) any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as an Issuing Bank or as a Swingline Lender, as the case may be) hereunder, under the other Loan Documents, (iii) any Specified Derivatives Provider or Specified Cash Management Bank from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit under any Specified Derivatives Contract or Specified Cash Management Agreement, as applicable, (iv) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 13.4. (subject to the terms of Section 3.3.), or (v) 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 (x) the Requisite Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article XI. and (y) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 3.3., any Lender may, with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Requisite Lenders.

ARTICLE XII. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 12.1. Appointment and Authorization.

Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Administrative Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms “Agent”, “Administrative Agent”, “agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender, promptly upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, copies of each of the financial statements, certificates, notices and other

- 173 -

documents delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article IX. that the Borrowers are not otherwise required to deliver directly to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where appropriate, an original) of any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished to the Administrative Agent by any Borrower, any Loan Party or any other Affiliate of the Company, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the Obligations), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless the Requisite Lenders have directed the Administrative Agent otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or where applicable, all the Lenders. The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to release any Guarantor from the Guaranty (i) in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, upon satisfaction of the conditions to release set forth in Section 8.14. or Section 8.15.; (ii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Requisite Lenders or all of the Lenders hereunder, as the required under the circumstances; or (iii) on the Term Loan Maturity Date. In connection with any such release of a Guarantor pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender to) execute and deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release (any execution and delivery of such documents being without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent).

Section 12.2. Xxxxx Fargo as Lender.

Xxxxx Fargo shall have the same rights and powers as a Lender, a Specified Derivatives Provider or a Specified Cash Management Bank, as the case may be, under this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Specified Derivatives Contract or any Specified Cash Management Agreement, as the case may be, as any other Lender, Specified Derivatives Provider or any Specified Cash Management Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Xxxxx Fargo in each case in its individual capacity. Xxxxx Fargo and its Affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the Issuing Banks, the other

- 174 -

Lenders, any Specified Derivatives Providers or any Specified Cash Management Banks. Further, the Administrative Agent and any Affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from the Loan Parties for services in connection with this Agreement, any Specified Derivatives Contract or any Specified Cash Management Agreement, or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Issuing Banks, the other Lenders, any Specified Derivatives Providers or any Specified Cash Management Banks. The Issuing Banks and the Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Xxxxx Fargo or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Company, other Loan Parties, other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.

Section 12.3. Approvals of Lenders.

All communications from the Administrative Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s determination, consent, approval or disapproval (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved and (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by such Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and a summary of all oral information provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved.

Section 12.4. Notice of Events of Default.

The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also serving as the Administrative Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly send to the Administrative Agent such a “notice of default”; provided, a Lender’s failure to provide such a “notice of default” to the Administrative Agent shall not result in any liability of such Lender to any other party to any of the Loan Documents. Further, if the Administrative Agent receives such a “notice of default,” the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.

Section 12.5. Administrative Agent’s Reliance.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein or therein as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for the Borrowers or any other Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it

- 175 -

in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties: (a) makes any warranty or representation to any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Person or shall be responsible to any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Person for any statement, warranty or representation made or deemed made by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) shall have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of any Borrower or other Persons or inspect the property, books or records of any Borrower or any other Person; (c) shall be responsible to any Lender or any Issuing Bank for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or any collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks in any such collateral; (d) shall have any liability in respect of any recitals, statements, certifications, representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan Documents or any other document, instrument, agreement, certificate or statement delivered in connection therewith; and (e) shall incur any liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the selection of such agent or attorney-in-fact as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment.

Section 12.6. Reimbursement by Lenders.

To the extent that the Borrowers for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 13.2. or Section 13.10. to be paid by them to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s share of the Total Credit Exposure at such time, or if the Total Credit Exposure has been reduced to zero, then based on such Lender’s share of the Total Credit Exposure immediately prior to such reduction) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); 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 (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The agreements in this Section 12.6. shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If the Borrowers shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any such unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment following payment by any Lender to the Administrative Agent in respect of such unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment pursuant to this Section 12.6., the Administrative Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.

- 176 -

Section 12.7. Lender Credit Decision, Etc.

Each of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties has made any representations or warranties to such Issuing Bank or such Lender and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Issuing Bank or any Lender. Each of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transaction contemplated hereby, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on the financial statements of the Company, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Company, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate. Each of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party of the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of, or make any other investigation of, the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or any Issuing Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties. Each of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that the Administrative Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Administrative Agent and is not acting as counsel to any Lender or any Issuing Bank.

Section 12.8. Successor Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Company. The Administrative Agent may be removed as Administrative Agent by all of the Lenders (other than the Lender then acting as Administrative Agent) and, provided no Default or Event of Default exists, the Company, upon 30 days’ prior written notice if the Administrative Agent (i) is found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to have committed gross

- 177 -

negligence or willful misconduct in the course of performing its duties hereunder or (ii) has become or is insolvent or has become the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or has had a receiver, conservator, trustee or custodian appointed for it, or has taken any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such proceeding or appointment. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall, provided no Default or Event of Default exists, be subject to the Company’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the current Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the current Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders that no Lender has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made to each Lender and each Issuing Bank directly, until such time as a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed as provided for above in this Section; provided, further that such Lenders and such Issuing Bank so acting directly shall be and be deemed to be protected by all indemnities and other provisions herein for the benefit and protection of the Administrative Agent as if each such Lender or Issuing Bank were itself the Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the current Administrative Agent, and the current Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. Any resignation by an Administrative Agent shall also constitute the resignation as an Issuing Bank and as a Swingline Lender by the Lender then acting as Administrative Agent (the “Resigning Lender”), which resignation shall be effective upon the agreement of the Lender that is the successor Administrative Agent (or another Lender approved by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) to assume the Swingline Commitment and the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank hereunder. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder and the assumption of the Swingline Commitment and the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank hereunder by the Lender that is the successor Administrative Agent (or another Lender approved by the Company as provided above) (i) the Resigning Lender shall be discharged from all duties and obligations of an Issuing Bank and a Swingline Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) the successor applicable Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for all Letters of Credit issued by the Resigning Lender as an Issuing Bank outstanding at the time of such succession (which letters of credit issued in substitutions shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued hereunder) or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Resigning Lender to effectively assume the obligations of the Resigning Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit. After any Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XII. shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents to any of its Affiliates by giving the Company and each Lender prior written notice.

- 178 -

Section 12.9. Titled Agents.

The Syndication Agents, Documentation Agents and Senior Managing Agents, in such respective capacities, assume no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, nor any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders. The titles given to the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents and the Senior Managing Agents are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents or the Senior Managing Agents to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Borrower or any other Loan Party and the use of such titles does not impose on the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents or the Senior Managing Agents any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or entitle the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents or the Senior Managing Agents to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is entitled.

Section 12.10. Specified Derivatives Contracts and Specified Cash Management Agreements.

No Specified Derivatives Provider or Specified Cash Management Bank that obtains the benefits of Section 11.4. by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Loan Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of any Loan Document other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XII. to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Specified Derivatives Contracts and Specified Cash Management Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Specified Derivatives Contracts and Specified Cash Management Agreements, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Specified Derivatives Provider or Specified Cash Management Bank, as the case may be.

If to any other Lender:

To such Lender’s address or telecopy number as set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire or as to each party at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties delivered in compliance with this Section; provided, a Lender or an Issuing Bank shall only be required to give notice of any such other address to the Administrative Agent and the Company. All such notices and other communications shall be effective (i) if mailed, upon the first to occur of receipt or the expiration of three (3) days after the deposit in the United States Postal Service mail, postage prepaid and addressed to the address of the Company or the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and Lenders at the addresses specified; (ii) if telecopied, when transmitted; (iii) if hand delivered or sent by overnight courier, when delivered; or (iv) if delivered in accordance with Section 9.5. to the extent applicable; provided, however, that, in the case of the immediately preceding clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), non-receipt of any communication as of the result of any change of address of which the sending party was not notified or as the result of a refusal to accept delivery shall be deemed receipt of such communication. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, all notices or communications to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender under Article II. shall be effective only when actually received. None of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall incur any liability to any Loan Party (nor shall the Administrative Agent incur any liability to the Issuing Banks or the Lenders) for acting upon any telephonic notice referred to in this Agreement which the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, believes in good faith to have been given by a Person authorized to deliver such notice or for otherwise acting in good faith hereunder. Failure of a Person designated to receive a copy of a notice to receive such copy shall not affect the validity of notice properly given to another Person.

- 182 -

Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereunder may be delivered or furnished by using Electronic Systems pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent or the Company may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient.

(b)    Each Loan Party party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 13.1.(a). Each Subsidiary Borrower irrevocably designates and appoints the Company, as its authorized agent, to accept and acknowledge on its behalf, service of any and all process which may be served in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 13.5.(b) in any federal or New York State court sitting in New York City. The Company hereby represents, warrants and confirms that the Company has agreed to accept such appointment (and any similar appointment by a Subsidiary Guarantor which is a Foreign Subsidiary). Said designation and appointment shall be irrevocable by each such Subsidiary Borrower until all Loans, all Reimbursement Obligations, interest thereon and all other amounts payable by such Subsidiary Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall have been paid in full in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof and such Subsidiary Borrower shall have been terminated as a Borrower hereunder pursuant to Section 2.21. Each Subsidiary Borrower hereby consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 13.5.(b) in any federal or New York State court sitting in New York City by service of process upon the Company as provided in this Section 13.1.(b); provided that, to the extent lawful and possible, notice of said service upon such agent shall be mailed by registered or certified air mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Company and (if applicable to) such Subsidiary Borrower at its address set forth in the Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement to which it is a party or to any other address of which such Subsidiary Borrower shall have given written notice to the Administrative Agent (with a copy thereof to the Company). Each Subsidiary Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all claim of error by reason of any such service in such manner and agrees that such service shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon such Subsidiary Borrower in any such suit, action or proceeding and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be taken and held to be valid and personal service upon and personal delivery to such Subsidiary Borrower. To the extent any Subsidiary Borrower has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether from service or notice, attachment

- 183 -

prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of a judgment, execution or otherwise), each Subsidiary Borrower hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under the Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

Section 13.2. Expenses.

The Company agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers for all of its and their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, any of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, in respect of any notice given by the Company under Section 2.17.(a), whether or not the requested increase is actually effected), and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Administrative Agent and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the use of IntraLinks, SyndTrak or other similar information transmission systems in connection with the Loan Documents and of the Administrative Agent in connection with the review of Properties for inclusion in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value, including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Administrative Agent relating to all such activities, (b) without duplication of the provisions of Section 3.5.(c), to pay to each Issuing Bank all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, (c) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders for all their costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under the Loan Documents and the Fee Letters, including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of their respective counsel and (d) to the extent not already covered by any of the preceding subsections, to pay or reimburse the fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Issuing Bank and any Lender incurred in connection with the representation of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender in any matter relating to or arising out of any bankruptcy or other proceeding of the type described in Sections 11.1.(e) or 11.1.(f), including, without limitation, (i) any motion for relief from any stay or similar order, (ii) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of any document relating to the Obligations and (iii) the negotiation and preparation of any debtor in possession financing or any plan of reorganization of any Borrower or any other Loan Party, whether proposed by such Borrower, such Loan Party, the Lenders or any other Person, and whether such fees and expenses are incurred prior to, during or after the commencement of such proceeding or the confirmation or conclusion of any such proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation to reimburse the Arrangers, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks for fees and expenses of counsel in connection with the matters described in clauses (a), (c) and (d) above shall be limited to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders in each relevant

- 184 -

jurisdiction and with respect to each relevant specialty, and in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to the affected Lender Party similarly situated. All reimbursement obligations pursuant to this Section 13.2. shall be due and payable not later than fifteen (15) Business Days following receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor.

Section 13.3. Stamp and Intangible Taxes.

The Company shall pay any and all stamp, excise, intangible, registration and similar taxes or governmental charges and shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in the payment or omission to pay any such taxes or charges, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, recording, performance or enforcement of this Agreement, the Notes and any of the other Loan Documents, the amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of or consent under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents or the perfection of any rights or Liens under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents.

Section 13.4. Setoff.

Subject to Section 3.3. and in addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each Participant is hereby authorized by the Company, at any time or from time to time while an Event of Default exists, without prior notice to the Parent, any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of a Lender, an Issuing Bank or a Participant subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Requisite Lenders exercised in their sole discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank, such Lender, such Participant or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender, to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor against and on account of any of the Obligations, irrespective of whether or not any or all of the Loans and all other Obligations have been declared to be, or have otherwise become, due and payable as permitted by Section 11.2., and although such Obligations shall be contingent or unmatured. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, if 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 3.9. 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, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders and (y) the 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. Promptly following any such set-off, the Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Company thereof and of the application of such set-off, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not invalidate such set-off or the application thereof.

(a)    EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG THE PARENT, ANY BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ISSUING BANK OR ANY OF THE LENDERS WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES. ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, EACH ISSUING BANK, THE PARENT AND EACH BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES, OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE FEE LETTER OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY COLLATERAL OR ANY LIEN CREATED HEREUNDER OF THEREUNDER OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG THE PARENT, ANY BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ISSUING BANK OR ANY OF THE LENDERS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES, OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE FEE LETTER OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY COLLATERAL OR ANY LIEN CREATED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

- 186 -

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ISSUING BANK OR ANY LENDER OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ISSUING BANK OR ANY LENDER OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.

(c)    THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF ALL LETTERS OF CREDIT AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 13.6. 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 none of the Parent, the Company, any Borrower or any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of the immediately following subsection (b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section 13.6. or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (e) of this Section 13.6. (and, subject to the last sentence of the immediately following subsection (b), 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 13.6. and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. The parties hereby agree that MLPF&S in its capacity as an Arranger and joint bookrunner may, without notice to the Borrowers, assign its rights and obligations in such capacities under this Agreement to any other registered broker–dealer wholly-owned by Bank of America Corporation to which all or substantially all of Bank of America Corporation’s or any of its subsidiaries’ investment banking, commercial lending services or related businesses may be transferred following the date of this Agreement.

- 187 -

(b)    Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment, its Term Loan Commitment and the 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 an assigning Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and/or the Revolving Credit Loans at the time owing to it, or in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of an assigning Term Loan Lender’s Term Loan Commitment and/or the Term 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 the immediately preceding subsection (A), the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment (which for this purpose includes Revolving Credit Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Revolving Credit Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, and the aggregate amount of the Term Loan Commitment (which for this purpose includes Term Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Term Loan Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Term Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, (in each case, 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 $10,000,000 in the case of any assignment of a Revolving Credit Commitment and $10,000,000 in the case of any assignment in respect of a Term Loan Commitment, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default pursuant to Section 11.1.(a), 11.1.(e) or 11.1.(f) shall exist, and subject to clause (iii)(A)(z) below, the Company otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that if, after giving effect to such assignment, the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment held by such assigning Lender or the outstanding principal balance of the Loans of such assigning Lender, as applicable, would be less than $10,000,000 in the case of a Revolving Credit Commitment or Revolving Credit Loans or $10,000,000 in the case of a Term Loan Commitment or Term Loans, then such assigning Lender shall assign the entire amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment, its Term Loan Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it.

(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 under this Agreement with respect to the Type of Loan or Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not (a) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-rata basis or (b) apply to rights in respect of a Bid Rate Loan.

- 188 -

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

(A)    the consent of the Company (on behalf of itself and the other Borrowers) (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default pursuant to Section 11.1.(a), 11.1.(e) or 11.1.(f) shall exist at the time of such assignment, (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or (z) any Term Loan Lender party hereto on the Agreement Date assigns its Term Loans to any assignee prior to the sixtieth (60^th) calendar day following the Revolving Credit Effective Date; provided that each Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof;

(B)    the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (x) a Revolving Credit Commitment or any unfunded Term Loan Commitments if such assignment is to a Person that is not already a Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment or a Term Loan Commitment, an Affiliate of such a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such a Lender or (y) a Term Loan to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(C)    the consent of each Issuing Bank and each Swingline Lender (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of a Revolving Credit Commitment.

(iv)    Assignment and Acceptance; Notes. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $4,500 (or $7,500 (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may agree, such lesser amount not to be less than $4,500 in any event) in the event that such transferor Lender is a Defaulting Lender) for each assignment (which fee the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive), and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. If requested by the transferor Lender or the assignee, upon the consummation of any assignment, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Company and the relevant Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that (i) to the extent requested by the assignee or transferor Lender, new Notes are issued to the assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate and (ii) any Notes held by the transferor Lender are promptly returned to the relevant Borrower for cancellation (and, to the extent not so returned, such Borrower shall be entitled to receive a customary indemnity agreement of the type described in Section 2.12.(c)(ii)(A) from such transferor Lender).

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

- 189 -

(vi)    No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person.

(vii)    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, the relevant Borrower 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 full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Swingline Lender and each other 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 Swingline Loans in accordance with its Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage (with respect to Letters of Credit) and its Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage (with respect to Swingline Loans). 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 the immediately following subsection (c), from and after the effective 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 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 entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.4., 13.2. and 13.10. and the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as provided in Section 13.11. with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph 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 13.6.

- 190 -

(c)    Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Principal 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 (and stated interest) of the Loans 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 shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company 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 any Person described in Sections 13.6.(b)(v) or (vi)) (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 Revolving Credit Commitment and/or the 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 Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in Section 13.4. or as otherwise expressly stated herein, no Participant shall have any rights or benefits under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 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 (x) extend the date on which any scheduled payment of principal on the Loans or portions thereof owing to such Lender is to be made, (y) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon (other than a waiver of default interest and changes in calculation of the Leverage Ratio that may indirectly affect pricing) or (z) release all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as contemplated by Sections 8.14. or 8.15.) or all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations under the Guaranty (except as contemplated by Sections 8.14. or 8.15.), in each case, as applicable to that portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations that are subject to the participation. Each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.10., 5.1., 5.4. (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.10.(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.10.(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.9.(h) or 5.6. as if it were an assignee under subsection (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.10. or 5.1., with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results

- 191 -

from a Regulatory Change that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participations. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the relevant Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.9.(h) or 5.6. with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.4. as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.3. as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, 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.

(e)    Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(f)    No Registration. Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written consent of each Borrower and the Administrative Agent, it will not make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any Loan or Note under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States of America or of any other jurisdiction.

(g)    Designated Lenders. Any Lender (each, a “Designating Lender”) may at any time after the Investment Grade Pricing Effective Date, designate one Designated Lender to fund Bid Rate Loans on behalf of such Designating Lender subject to the terms of this subsection, and the provisions in subsections (b) and (d) of this Section 13.6. shall not apply to such designation. No Lender may designate more than one Designated Lender. The parties to each such designation shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance a Designation Agreement. Upon such receipt of an appropriately completed Designation Agreement executed by a Designating Lender and a designee representing that it is a Designated Lender, the Administrative Agent will accept such Designation Agreement and give prompt notice thereof to the Company, whereupon (i) the Company shall execute and deliver to the Designating Lender, to the extent requested by such Designated Lender, a Bid Rate Note payable to the order of the Designated Lender, (ii) from and after the effective date specified in the Designation Agreement, the Designated Lender shall become a party to this Agreement with a

- 192 -

right to make Bid Rate Loans on behalf of its Designating Lender pursuant to Section 2.3. after the Company has accepted a Bid Rate Loan (or portion thereof) of the Designating Lender, and (iii) the Designated Lender shall not be required to make payments with respect to any obligations in this Agreement except to the extent of excess cash flow of such Designated Lender which is not otherwise required to repay obligations of such Designated Lender which are then due and payable; provided, however, that regardless of such designation and assumption by the Designated Lender, the Designating Lender shall be and remain obligated to the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for each and every of the obligations of the Designating Lender and its related Designated Lender with respect to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any indemnification obligations under Section 12.6. and any sums otherwise payable to the Company by the Designated Lender. Each Designating Lender shall serve as the agent of the Designated Lender and shall on behalf of, and to the exclusion of, the Designated Lender: (1) receive any and all payments made for the benefit of the Designated Lender and (2) give and receive all communications and notices and take all actions hereunder, including, without limitation, votes, approvals, waivers, consents and amendments under or relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any such notice, communication, vote, approval, waiver, consent or amendment shall be signed by the Designating Lender as agent for the Designated Lender and shall not be signed by the Designated Lender on its own behalf and shall be binding on the Designated Lender to the same extent as if signed by the Designated Lender on its own behalf. The Company, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may rely thereon without any requirement that the Designated Lender sign or acknowledge the same. No Designated Lender may assign or transfer all or any portion of its interest hereunder or under any other Loan Document, other than assignments to the Designating Lender which originally designated such Designated Lender. The Company, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent each hereby agrees that it will not institute against any Designated Lender or join any other Person in instituting against any Designated Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, until the later to occur of (x) one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Designated Lender and (y) the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

No amendment, waiver or consent unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, shall affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Any amendment, waiver or consent relating to Section 2.5. or the obligations of the Swingline Lenders under this

- 196 -

Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, require the written consent of each Swingline Lender. Any amendment, waiver or consent relating to Section 2.4. or the obligations of the Issuing Banks under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, require the written consent of each Issuing Bank.

Any Event of Default occurring hereunder shall continue to exist until such time as such Event of Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this Section, notwithstanding any attempted cure or other action by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of Default. Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon the Borrowers shall entitle the Borrowers to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(e)    Technical Amendments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.7., if the Administrative Agent and the Company have jointly identified an ambiguity, omission, mistake or defect in any provision of this Agreement or an inconsistency between provisions of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Company shall be permitted to amend and/or supplement such provision or provisions to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency. Any such amendment or supplement shall become effective without any further action or consent of any of other party to this Agreement.

(f)    Release of Collateral.

Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of any Loan Party in respect of) all interests retained by any Loan Party, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral so long as a Collateral Period is then in effect.

- 197 -

(g)    Amendments for Incremental Credit Facilities and Permitted Amendments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with only the written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (a) to provide for the making of any Incremental Credit Facility as contemplated by Section 2.17. and to permit the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders in respect of such Incremental Credit Facilities in any determination of the Requisite Lenders.

Section 13.8. Nonliability of Administrative Agent and Lenders.

The relationship between the Borrowers, on the one hand, and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, on the other hand, shall be solely that of borrower and lender. The Administrative Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties, their stockholders and partners and/or their Affiliates. No Lender Party shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Borrower or any other Loan Party and no provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing by the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party to any Lender, any Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party. No Lender Party undertakes any responsibility to any Borrower to review or inform such Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of such Borrower’s business or operations.

Person shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and reasonably practicable, inform the Company promptly thereof); (e) to the Administrative Agent’s, such Issuing Bank’s or such Lender’s independent auditors and other professional advisors and other experts or agents or representatives solely in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby who are informed of the confidential nature of such information and are or have been advised of their obligation to keep information of this type confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section (and each of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender shall be responsible for its respective Affiliates’ compliance with this Section); (f) if an Event of Default exists, to any other Person, in connection with the exercise by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Lenders (or Specified Derivatives Provider or Specified Cash Management Bank) of rights hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents (or under any Specified Derivatives Contract or Specified Cash Management Agreement) or any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Documents (or any Specified Derivatives Contract or Specified Cash Management Agreement) or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (g) to the extent such information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of improper disclosure or a breach of this Section by such Person or any of its Affiliates or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers, the Parent or any of their Affiliates that is not to such Person’s knowledge subject to confidentiality obligations to the Borrowers, the Parent or any of their Affiliates; (h) to the extent requested by, or required to be disclosed to, any nationally recognized rating agency or regulatory or similar authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) having or purporting to have jurisdiction over it or any of its Affiliates, their business or operations (in which case, such Person shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and reasonably practicable, inform the Company promptly thereof prior to disclosure except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by both accountants or any governmental bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority); (i) to bank trade publications, such information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications; (j) to any other party hereto; (k) to the extent that such information is independently developed by such Person; (l) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense; (m) to enforce their respective rights hereunder or under the Fee Letters; and (n) with the consent of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender may disclose any such confidential information, without notice to any Borrower or any other Loan Party, to Governmental Authorities in connection with any regulatory examination of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender or in accordance with the regulatory compliance policy of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender. As used in this Section, the term “Information” means all information received from any Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or Affiliate relating to any Loan Party or any of their respective businesses pursuant to the requirements of the Administrative Agent or otherwise in connection with the Loan Documents, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or any Affiliate.

(d)    An Indemnified Party may conduct its own investigation and defense of, and may formulate its own strategy with respect to, any Indemnity Proceeding covered by this Section and, as provided above, all costs and expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed by the Borrowers. No action taken by legal counsel chosen by an Indemnified Party in investigating or defending against any such Indemnity Proceeding shall vitiate or in any way impair the obligations and duties of the Borrowers hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless each such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that (i) if the Borrowers are required to indemnify an Indemnified Party pursuant hereto and (ii) the Borrowers have provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party that the Borrowers have the financial wherewithal to reimburse such Indemnified Party for any amount paid by such Indemnified Party with respect to such Indemnity Proceeding, such Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any such Indemnity Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

References in this Section 13.10. to “Lender” or “Lenders” shall be deemed to include such Persons (and their Affiliates) in their capacity as Specified Derivatives Providers and Specified Cash Management Banks, as applicable.

- 201 -

this Agreement, or of the other Loan Documents, against events arising after such termination as well as before and (ii) at all times after any such party ceases to be a party to this Agreement with respect to all matters and events existing on or prior to the date such party ceased to be a party to this Agreement. Upon the Company’s request, the Administrative Agent agrees to deliver to the Company, at the Company’s sole cost and expense, written confirmation of the foregoing termination.

This Agreement, the Notes, the other Loan Documents and the Fee Letters embody the final, entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior commitments, agreements, representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and may not be contradicted or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the parties hereto.

There are no oral agreements among the parties hereto.

The Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Borrower and each Lender acknowledge that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Borrower and each Lender.

(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b)    the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

Section 13.23. Nonrecourse to the Parent; Limited Nature of the Parent’s Obligations under this Agreement.

Unless the Parent becomes a Guarantor pursuant to Section 8.17.(b) and subject to the limitations described below in this Section 13.23., notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, the Obligations of the Loan Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are non-recourse to the Parent or any Parent Entity as a result of its capacity as a member of the Company and as a result of its having joined in the execution of this Agreement; provided that the foregoing shall not limit any recourse to the Loan Parties and their respective assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired. The Lender Parties, by such other Persons’ acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, agree that, unless the Parent has become a Guarantor pursuant to Section 8.17.(b), (x) the Parent and the Parent Entities shall not be liable for any of the Obligations of the Loan Parties under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents as a result of its status as a member of the Company or otherwise and (y) the Parent is joining in the execution of this Agreement solely for the limited purpose of being bound by the terms of the Sections of this Agreement expressly applicable to the Parent, including all covenants made by the Parent and the Parent Entities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if an Event of Default occurs, nothing in this Section 13.23. shall in any way prevent or hinder any Lender Party in the pursuit or enforcement of any right, remedy, or judgment against the Loan Parties or any of their respective assets and (b) the Parent shall be fully liable to the Lender Parties for any breach by the Parent of any of Sections 8.8.(b), 8.12., 8.13., 8.16., 8.17., 8.18.(b), 13.24. and otherwise to the same extent that Parent would be liable absent the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.23. for fraud or willful misrepresentation or any other unlawful acts by the Company, any Borrower, the Parent, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries (to the full extent of losses suffered by any Lender Party by reason of such fraud or willful misrepresentation or such other unlawful acts).

Section 13.24. Subordination of Intercompany Indebtedness.

The Parent hereby expressly covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Lender Parties that all obligations and liabilities of any other Loan Party or Subsidiary to the Parent of whatever description, including without limitation, all intercompany Indebtedness or receivables of the Parent from any other Loan Party or Subsidiary (collectively, the “Junior Claims”) shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Obligations hereunder. During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Parent shall not accept any direct or indirect payment (in cash, property or securities, by setoff or otherwise) from any Loan Party or Subsidiary on account of or in any manner in respect of any Junior Claim until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full.

ARTICLE XIV. CROSS-GUARANTEE

In order to induce the Lenders to extend credit to the other Borrowers hereunder, but subject to the last sentence of this Article XIV, each Borrower hereby irrevocably and

- 205 -

unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the payment when and as due of the Obligations of such other Borrowers. Each Borrower further agrees that the due and punctual payment of such Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee hereunder notwithstanding any such extension or renewal of any such Obligation.

Each Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally jointly and severally agrees that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability they incur as a result of any Borrower not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under this Article XIV on the date when it would have been due (but so that the amount payable by a Borrower under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Article XIV if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee).

Each Borrower waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to any Borrower of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its obligations and notice of protest for nonpayment. The obligations of each Borrower hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any Borrower under the provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any of the Obligations; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or release from, any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, or any other Loan Document or agreement; (d) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of any of the Obligations; (e) the failure of the Administrative Agent to take any steps to perfect and maintain any security interest in, or to preserve any rights to, any security or collateral for the Obligations, if any; (f) any change in the corporate, partnership or other existence, structure or ownership of any Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Obligations; (g) the enforceability or validity of the Obligations or any part thereof or the genuineness, enforceability or validity of any agreement relating thereto or with respect to any collateral securing the Obligations or any part thereof, or any other invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any Loan Party or any other guarantor of any of the Obligations, for any reason related to this Agreement, any Specified Derivatives Contract, any Specified Cash Management Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any provision of applicable law, decree, order or regulation of any jurisdiction purporting to prohibit the payment by such Borrower or any other guarantor of the Obligations, of any of the Obligations or otherwise affecting any term of any of the Obligations; or (h) any other act, omission or delay to do any other act which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Borrower or otherwise operate as a discharge of a guarantor as a matter of law or equity or which would impair or eliminate any right of such Borrower to subrogation.

Each Borrower further agrees that its agreement hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due (whether or not any bankruptcy or similar proceeding shall have stayed the accrual or collection of any of the Obligations or operated as a discharge thereof) and not merely of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in favor of any Borrower or any other Person.

- 206 -

The obligations of each Borrower hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever, by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Obligations, any impossibility in the performance of any of the Obligations or otherwise.

Each Borrower further agrees that its obligations hereunder shall constitute a continuing and irrevocable guarantee of all Obligations of such other Borrowers now or hereafter existing and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation (including a payment effected through exercise of a right of setoff) is rescinded or is or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise.

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have at law or in equity against any Borrower by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any other Borrower to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Borrower hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in cash an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of such Obligations then due, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Each Borrower further agrees that if payment in respect of any Obligation shall be due in a currency other than Dollars and/or at a place of payment other than New York, Chicago, the Principal Office, the Multicurrency Payment Office or any other Lending Office and if, by reason of any Regulatory Change, disruption of currency or foreign exchange markets, war or civil disturbance or other event, payment of such Obligation in such currency or at such place of payment shall be impossible or, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, disadvantageous to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in any material respect, then, at the election of the Administrative Agent, such Borrower shall make payment of such Obligation in Dollars (based upon the applicable Dollar Amount in effect on the date of payment) and/or in New York, Chicago or such other applicable payment office as is designated by the Administrative Agent and, as a separate and independent obligation, shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank and any Lender against any losses or reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses that it shall sustain as a result of such alternative payment.

Upon payment by any Borrower of any sums as provided above, all rights of such Borrower against any Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all the Obligations owed by such Borrower to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders.

- 207 -

Nothing shall discharge or satisfy the liability of any Borrower hereunder except the full performance and payment of the Obligations.

Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Article XIV or the Guaranty (if any), as applicable, in respect of Specified Derivatives Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this paragraph for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this paragraph or otherwise under this Article XIV or the Guaranty (if any), as applicable, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Article XIV or the Guaranty (if any), as applicable, shall remain in full force and effect until a discharge of such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this paragraph constitute, and this paragraph shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

Section 1. Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guaranties the due and punctual payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all of the following (collectively referred to as the “Guarantied Obligations” (provided, however, that the definition of “Guarantied Obligations” shall not create any guarantee by any Guarantor of (or grant of security interest by any Guarantor to support, as applicable) any Excluded Swap Obligation of such Guarantor for purposes of determining any obligations of any Guarantor)): (a) all indebtedness, liabilities, obligations, covenants and duties owing by any Borrower or any other Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any other Guarantied Party under or in connection with the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, including without limitation, the repayment of all principal of the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations and all other Letter of Credit Liabilities, and the payment of all interest, fees, charges, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any other Guarantied Party thereunder (including, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, interest, Fees and other amounts that would accrue and become due after the filing of a case or other proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code (as defined below) or other similar Applicable Law but for the commencement of such case or proceeding, whether or not such amounts are allowed or allowable in whole or in part in such case or proceeding); (b) all Specified Derivatives Obligations; (c) all indebtedness, liabilities, obligations, covenants and duties of a Loan Party under or in respect of any Specified Cash Management Agreement, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or not due, liquidated or unliquidated, and whether or not evidenced by any written confirmation (“Specified Cash Management Obligations”); (d) all other Obligations; (e) any and all extensions, renewals, modifications, amendments or substitutions of the foregoing; and (f) all expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, that are incurred by the Administrative Agent or any of the other Guarantied Parties in the enforcement of any of the foregoing or any obligation of such Guarantor hereunder.

The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional in accordance with its terms 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, subject to the termination provisions in Section 20., including without limitation, the following (whether or not such Guarantor consents thereto or has notice thereof) to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

(m)    any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, a Guarantor hereunder (other than indefeasible payment and performance in full).

Section 4. Action with Respect to Guarantied Obligations.

As of the date hereof, each Guarantor hereby makes to the Administrative Agent and the other Guarantied Parties all of the representations and warranties made by the Company or any other Loan Party with respect to or in any way relating to such Guarantor in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as if the same were set forth herein in full mutatis mutandis.

Section 6. Covenants. Each Guarantor will comply with all covenants with which the Company or any other Loan Party is to cause such Guarantor to comply under the terms of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

Section 7. Waiver. Each Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof or any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, and any other act or thing, or omission or delay to do any other act or thing, which in any manner or to any extent might vary the risk of such Guarantor or which otherwise might operate to discharge such Guarantor from its obligations hereunder.

Section 8. Inability to Accelerate Loan. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, if the Administrative Agent and/or the other Guarantied Parties are prevented under Applicable Law or otherwise from demanding or accelerating payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations by reason of any automatic stay or otherwise, the Administrative Agent and/or the other Guarantied Parties shall be entitled to receive from each Guarantor, upon demand therefor, the sums which otherwise would have been due had such demand or acceleration occurred.

Section 9. Reinstatement of Guarantied Obligations. If claim is ever made on the Administrative Agent or any of the other Guarantied Parties for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, and the Administrative Agent or such other Guarantied Party repays all or part of said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by the Administrative Agent or such other Guarantied Party with any such claimant (including any Borrower or a trustee in bankruptcy for any Borrower), then and in such event each Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding on it, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or any other instrument evidencing any liability of the Borrowers, and such Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the Administrative Agent or such other Guarantied Party for the amounts so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been paid to the Administrative Agent or such other Guarantied Party, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.

Section 10. Subrogation. Upon the making by any Guarantor of any payment hereunder for the account of any other Loan Party, such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the payee against such Loan Party; provided, however, that such Guarantor shall not enforce any right or receive any payment by way of subrogation or otherwise take any action in respect of any other claim or cause of action such Guarantor may have against such Loan Party arising by

F-5

reason of any payment or performance by such Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty, unless and until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full. If any amount shall be paid to such Guarantor on account of or in respect of such subrogation rights or other claims or causes of action, such Guarantor shall hold such amount in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Guarantied Parties and shall forthwith pay such amount to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied against the Guarantied Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or to be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral security for any Guarantied Obligations existing.

Section 11. Payments Free and Clear. Section 3.10. of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable, mutatis mutandis, to all payments required to be made by any Guarantor under this Guaranty.

Section 12. Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under any of the other Credit Documents or Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, subject to Section 13.4. of the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor hereby authorizes, each Guarantied Party, each Affiliate of a Guarantied Party and each Participant, at any time while an Event of Default exists, without any prior notice to such Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of a Guarantied Party (other than the Administrative Agent), an Affiliate of a Guarantied Party (other than the Administrative Agent) or a Participant, subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Requisite Lenders exercised in their sole discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by a Guarantied Party, an Affiliate of a Guarantied Party or such Participant, to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor against and on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, irrespective of whether or not any or all of the Loans and all other Obligations have been declared to be, or have otherwise become, due and payable as permitted by Section 11.2. of the Credit Agreement, and although such Obligations shall be contingent or unmatured. Each Guarantor agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, that any Participant may exercise rights of setoff or counterclaim and other rights with respect to its participation as fully as if such Participant were a direct creditor of such Guarantor in the amount of such participation.

Section 13. Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby expressly covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Guarantied Parties that all obligations and liabilities of any other Loan Party to such Guarantor of whatever description, including without limitation, all intercompany Indebtedness or receivables of such Guarantor from any other Loan Party (collectively, the “Junior Claims”) shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Guarantied Obligations to the extent provided in this Section 13. During the continuance of an Event of Default, unless otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement, no Guarantor shall accept any direct or indirect payment (in cash, property or securities, by setoff or otherwise) from any Loan Party on account of or in any manner in respect of any Junior Claim until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full.

F-6

Section 14. Avoidance Provisions. It is the intent of each Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and the other Guarantied Parties that in any Proceeding, such Guarantor’s maximum obligation hereunder shall equal, but not exceed, the maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the other Guarantied Parties) to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Guarantor in such Proceeding as a result of Applicable Law, including without limitation, (a) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code and (b) any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in such Proceeding, whether by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. The Applicable Laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the other Guarantied Parties) shall be determined in any such Proceeding are referred to as the “Avoidance Provisions”. Accordingly, to the extent that the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Guarantied Obligations for which such Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, as of the time any of the Guarantied Obligations are deemed to have been incurred under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the other Guarantied Parties), to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions. This Section is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Administrative Agent and the other Guarantied Parties hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, and no Guarantor or any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section as against the Administrative Agent and the other Guarantied Parties that would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.

Section 15. Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the Guarantied Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the other Guarantied Parties shall have any duty whatsoever to advise any Guarantor of information regarding such circumstances or risks.

Capitalized terms used in these Additional Terms and Conditions to Disbursement Instruction Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the body of the Agreement.

Disbursement Requests. Except as expressly provided in the Credit Agreement, Administrative Agent must receive Disbursement Requests in writing. Disbursement Requests will only be accepted from the applicable Authorized Representatives designated in the Disbursement Instruction Agreement. Disbursement Requests will be processed subject to satisfactory completion of Administrative Agent’s customer verification procedures. Administrative Agent is only responsible for making a good faith effort to execute each Disbursement Request and may use agents of its choice to execute Disbursement Requests. Funds disbursed pursuant to a Disbursement Request may be transmitted directly to the Receiving Bank, or indirectly to the Receiving Bank through another bank, government agency, or other third party that Administrative Agent considers to be reasonable. Administrative Agent will, in its sole discretion, determine the funds transfer system and the means by which each Disbursement will be made. Administrative Agent may delay or refuse to accept a Disbursement Request if the Disbursement would: (i) violate the terms of this Agreement; (ii) require use of a bank unacceptable to Administrative Agent or Lenders or prohibited by government authority; (iii) cause Administrative Agent or Lenders to violate any Federal Reserve or other regulatory risk control program or guideline; or (iv) otherwise cause Administrative Agent or Lenders to violate any applicable law or regulation.

Limitation of Liability. Administrative Agent , Issuing Banks, Swingline Lenders and Lenders shall not be liable to Borrower or any other parties for: (i) errors, acts or failures to act of others, including other entities, banks, communications carriers or clearinghouses, through which Borrower’s requested Disbursements may be made or information received or transmitted, and no such entity shall be deemed an agent of the Administrative Agent, Issuing Banks, Swingline Lenders or any Lender; (ii) any loss, liability or delay caused by fires, earthquakes, wars, civil disturbances, power surges or failures, acts of government, labor disputes, failures in communications networks, legal constraints or other events beyond Administrative Agent’s, any Issuing Bank’s, any Swingline Lender’s or any Lender’s control; or (iii) any special, consequential, indirect or punitive damages, whether or not (A) any claim for these damages is based on tort or contract or (B) Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Swingline Lender any Lender or Borrower knew or should have known the likelihood of these damages in any situation. Neither Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, Swingline Lender nor any Lender makes any representations or warranties other than those expressly made in this Agreement. IN NO EVENT WILL ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ISSUING BANK, ANY SWINGLINE LENDER OR ANY LENDER BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY IF A DISBURSEMENT REQUEST IS EXECUTED BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN GOOD FAITH AN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Reliance on Information Provided. Administrative Agent is authorized to rely on the information provided by Borrower or any Authorized Representative in or in accordance with this Agreement when executing a Disbursement Request until Administrative Agent has received a new Agreement signed by Borrower. Borrower agrees to be bound by any Disbursement Request: (i) authorized or transmitted by Borrower; or (ii) made in Borrower’s name and accepted by Administrative Agent in good faith and in compliance with this Agreement, even if not properly authorized by Borrower. Administrative Agent may rely solely (i) on the account number of the Receiving Party, rather than the Receiving Party’s name, and (ii) on the bank routing number of the Receiving Bank, rather than the Receiving Bank’s name, in executing a Disbursement Request. Administrative Agent is not obligated or required in any way to take any actions to detect errors in information provided by Borrower or an Authorized Representative.

International Disbursements. A Disbursement Request expressed in US Dollars will be sent in US Dollars, even if the Receiving Party or Receiving Bank is located outside the United States. Administrative Agent will not execute Disbursement Requests expressed in foreign currency unless permitted by the Credit Agreement.

Errors. Borrower agrees to notify Administrative Agent of any errors in the Disbursement of any funds or of any unauthorized or improperly authorized Disbursement Requests within fourteen (14) days after Administrative Agent’s confirmation to Borrower of such Disbursement.

Finality of Disbursement Requests. Disbursement Requests will be final and will not be subject to stop payment or recall; provided that Administrative Agent may, at Borrower’s request, make an effort to effect a stop payment or recall but will incur no liability whatsoever for its failure or inability to do so.

THIS DESIGNATION AGREEMENT dated as of             ,          (the “Agreement”) by and among                                          (the “Designating Lender”),                                          (the “Designated Lender”) and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”).

WHEREAS, the Designating Lender is a Lender under that Credit Agreement dated as of December 28, 2016 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among PARK INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS LLC (the “Company”), PARK HOTELS & RESORTS INC., the Subsidiaries of the Company from time to time party thereto as Subsidiary Borrowers, the financial institutions party thereto and their assignees under Section 13.6. thereof (the “Lenders”), and the Administrative Agent;

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 13.6.(g), the Designating Lender desires to designate the Designated Lender as its “Designated Lender” under and as defined in the Credit Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Administrative Agent consents to such designation on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Designation. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Designating Lender hereby designates the Designated Lender, and the Designated Lender hereby accepts such designation, to have a right to make Bid Rate Loans on behalf of the Designating Lender pursuant to Section 2.3. of the Credit Agreement. Any assignment by the Designating Lender to the Designated Lender of rights to make a Bid Rate Loan shall only be effective at the time such Bid Rate Loan is funded by the Designated Lender. The Designated Lender, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, hereby agrees to make such accepted Bid Rate Loans and to perform such other obligations as may be required of it as a Designated Lender under the Credit Agreement.

Section 2. Designating Lender Not Discharged. Notwithstanding the designation of the Designated Lender hereunder, the Designating Lender shall be and remain obligated to the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for each and every of the obligations of the Designating Lender and its related Designated Lender with respect to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any indemnification obligations under Section 12.6. of the Credit Agreement and any sums otherwise payable to the Company by the Designated Lender.

P-1

Section 3. No Representations by Designating Lender. The Designating Lender makes no representation or warranty and, except as set forth in Section 8 below, assumes no responsibility pursuant to this Agreement with respect to (a) any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of any Loan Document or any other instrument and document furnished pursuant thereto and (b) the financial condition of the Company, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary of the Company or the performance or observance by the Company or any other Loan Party of any of its obligations under any Loan Document to which it is a party or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto.

Section 4. Representations and Covenants of Designated Lender. The Designated Lender makes and confirms to the Administrative Agent, the Designating Lender, and the other Lenders all of the representations, warranties and covenants of a Lender under Article XII. of the Credit Agreement. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Designated Lender (a) represents and warrants that it (i) is legally authorized to enter into this Agreement; (ii) is an “accredited investor” (as such term is used in Regulation D of the Securities Act) and (iii) meets the requirements of a “Designated Lender” contained in the definition of such term contained in the Credit Agreement; (b) confirms that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant thereto and such other documents and information (including, without limitation, the Loan Documents) as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement; (c) confirms that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or counsel, and based on such financial statements and such other documents and information, made its own credit analysis and decision to become a Designated Lender under the Credit Agreement; (d) appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as contractual representative on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (e) agrees that it will become a party to and shall be bound by the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents to which the other Lenders are a party on the Effective Date (as defined below) and will perform in accordance therewith all of the obligations which are required to be performed by it as a Designated Lender. The Designated Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Agreement or any Note or pursuant to any other obligation. The Designated Lender acknowledges and agrees that except as expressly required under the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility whatsoever, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide the Designated Lender with any credit or other information with respect to the Company, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary or to notify the Designated Lender of any Default or Event of Default.

Section 5. Appointment of Designating Lender as Attorney-In-Fact. The Designated Lender hereby appoints the Designating Lender as the Designated Lender’s agent and

P-2

attorney-in-fact, and grants to the Designating Lender an irrevocable power of attorney, to receive any and all payments to be made for the benefit of the Designated Lender under the Credit Agreement, to deliver and receive all notices and other communications under the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents and to exercise on the Designated Lender’s behalf all actions under the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, rights to vote and to grant and make approvals, waivers, consents and amendments to or under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Any document executed by the Designating Lender on the Designated Lender’s behalf in connection with the Credit Agreement or other Loan Documents shall be binding on the Designated Lender to the same extent as if signed by the Designated Lender on its own behalf. The Company, each Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders may rely on and are beneficiaries of the preceding provisions.

Section 6. Acceptance by the Administrative Agent. Following the execution of this Agreement by the Designating Lender and the Designated Lender, the Designating Lender will (i) deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly executed original of this Agreement for acceptance by the Administrative Agent and (ii) pay to the Administrative Agent the fee, if any, payable under the applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement whereupon this Agreement shall become effective as of the later of (x) the date of such acceptance or (y) such other date as may be specified on the signature page hereof (the “Effective Date”).

Section 7. Effect of Designation. Upon such acceptance and recording by the Administrative Agent, as of the Effective Date, the Designated Lender shall be a party to the Credit Agreement with a right to make Bid Rate Loans as a Lender pursuant to Section 2.3. of the Credit Agreement and the rights and obligations of a Lender related thereto; provided, however, that the Designated Lender shall not be required to make payments with respect to such obligations except to the extent of excess cash flow of the Designated Lender which is not otherwise required to repay obligations of the Designated Lender which are then due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Designating Lender, as agent for the Designated Lender, shall be and remain obligated to the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for each and every of the obligations of the Designated Lender and the Designating Lender with respect to the Credit Agreement.

Section 8. Indemnification of Designated Lender. The Designating Lender unconditionally agrees to pay or reimburse the Designated Lender and save the Designated Lender harmless against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed or asserted by any of the parties to the Loan Documents against the Designated Lender, in its capacity as such, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Designated Lender hereunder or thereunder, provided that the Designating Lender shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements if the same results from the Designated Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
