ARTICLE II
THE COMMITMENTS AND LOANS/EXCHANGE PROCEDURES

2.01 The Bridge Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, on up to three occasions during the Availability Period, comprising the Initial Closing Date, the Second Closing Date and the Third Closing Date, respectively, each Lender severally agrees to make Bridge Loans to the Borrower, provided that the Bridge Loans made by each Lender shall not exceed the unused amount of such Lender’s Commitment at such time and the aggregate principal amount of the Bridge Loans made by all the Lenders shall not exceed, in any event, $850,000,000 (subject to increase pursuant to Section 2.13 and reduction in accordance with Section 2.05). The Borrowing shall consist of Bridge Loans made simultaneously by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.01 and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Bridge Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein.

2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Bridge Loans. (a) Each Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a borrowing of Bridge Loans or a conversion of Bridge Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be

Project Leap Bridge Credit Agreement

borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Bridge Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Bridge Loans are to be converted and (v) with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Bridge Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Bridge Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.

(b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage under the Bridge Facility of the Bridge Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in Section 2.02(a). Each Lender shall make the amount of its Bridge Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of CNAI with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower.

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default, no Bridge Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in CNAI’s base rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

(e) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Bridge Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Bridge Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than eight (8) Interest Periods in effect in respect of the Bridge Facility.

Except as set forth in Section 2.03(b) below, the Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Bridge Loans on the Initial Maturity Date.

(b) Extended Term Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.03(c), each Lender severally agrees, if the Bridge Loans have not been repaid in full on the Initial Maturity Date, that the then outstanding principal amount of its Bridge Loan shall automatically be converted into an Extended Term Loan to the Borrower on the Initial Maturity Date (and if such conversion occurs the Initial Maturity Date shall also be referred to

Project Leap Bridge Credit Agreement

hereunder as the “Extension Date”), in an aggregate principal amount equal to the then outstanding principal amount of the Bridge Loan of such Lender, and such conversion, if effected, shall satisfy the payment requirements of Section 2.03(a).

(c) Conditions to Conversion. The automatic conversion of the Bridge Loans to Extended Term Loans on the Extension Date shall be subject to the following, and only the following, conditions precedent:

(i) No proceeding of the type described in Section 8.01(f) shall have occurred with respect to Holdings, the Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary; and

(ii) All payments of all amounts due and payable to the Lenders under the Loan Documents shall have been paid in full in cash.

(d) Final Maturity Date. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Extended Term Loans on December 17, 2013 (such date, the “Final Maturity Date”).

(e) Treatment. Extended Term Loans shall, except to the extent otherwise expressly provided for herein, be treated the same as Bridge Loans (including for purposes of conversions and continuations in accordance with Section 2.03), except that the affirmative covenants, negative covenants and defaults applicable thereto shall be modified to be substantially similar to the correlative provisions contained in the Exchange Indenture.

(f) Extended Term Loan Notes; Exchange Indenture. (i) The Borrower shall deliver to any Lender requesting the same an Extended Term Loan Note executed by the Borrower in favor of each Lender so requesting such Note on the Extension Date.

(ii) Holdings and the Borrower and a trustee reasonably selected by the Lead Arrangers and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower shall enter into an Exchange Indenture with respect to the Exchange Securities (and the Guarantors shall have entered into related guarantees substantially in the form of the Guaranty) on the Extension Date.

(g) Exchange of Extended Term Loans for Exchange Securities. (i) On any Business Day on or after the Extension Date (if any), any Lender may elect to exchange all or any portion of its Extended Term Loan for one or more Exchange Securities by giving not less than three Business Days’ prior irrevocable written notice to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the trustee under the Exchange Indenture, specifying the principal amount of its Extended Term Loan to be exchanged (which shall be at least $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof), the name of the proposed registered holder and, subject to the terms of the Exchange Indenture, the amount of each Exchange Security requested (each such notice, an “Exchange Notice”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Borrower be obligated to effect such exchange until the aggregate principal amount of the initial Extended Term Loans to be exchanged pursuant to this clause (g) equals or exceeds $50,000,000. Any such exchanging Lender shall deliver its Note, if any, to the Administrative Agent within three Business Days following delivery of an Exchange Notice. Extended Term Loans exchanged for Exchange Securities pursuant to this clause (g) shall be deemed repaid and canceled and the Exchange Securities so issued shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the provisions of the Exchange Indenture. The principal amount of any Exchange Security will equal 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Term Loan for which it is exchanged.

(ii) Not later than the fifth Business Day after delivery of an Exchange Notice:

Project Leap Bridge Credit Agreement

(A) the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower any original Note delivered to it by the exchanging Lender pursuant to clause (i) above;

(B) the Borrower shall cancel each Note so delivered to it and, if applicable, the Borrower shall issue a replacement Extended Term Loan Note to such Lender in an amount equal to the principal amount of such Lender’s Extended Term Loan that is not being exchanged, or the Borrower shall make a notation on any surrendered Note to the effect that a portion of the Extended Term Loan represented thereby has been repaid; and

(C) the Borrower shall deliver the applicable Exchange Securities to the trustee under the Exchange Indenture, for authentication and delivery to the holder or holders thereof specified in the Exchange Notice.

(iii) Each Exchange Security issued pursuant to this clause (g) shall bear interest at a rate equal to the Initial Rate plus the Exchange Spread, not to exceed the Maximum Rate, payable quarterly in arrears; provided, however, that each Lender shall have the option to require that the Exchange Security issued pursuant to this clause (g) bear interest at a fixed rate per annum, at a rate not higher than the then applicable rate of interest as shall be set forth in the Exchange Indenture (thereafter, a “Fixed Rate Exchange Security”). Accrued interest on Extended Term Loans so exchanged shall be paid in full in cash on the date of such exchange. Each Fixed Rate Exchange Security will be non-callable for three years from the Initial Maturity Date (subject to customary equity clawback provisions and make-whole provisions at T+50) and will be callable thereafter at par plus accrued interest and a premium equal to one-half the coupon in effect on the date of the fixing of the interest rate on such Fixed Rate Exchange Security, which premium shall decline ratably on each anniversary of the Initial Maturity Date to zero one year before the maturity of the Fixed Rate Exchange Securities. Each Exchange Security, including each Fixed Rate Exchange Security, shall mature on the Final Maturity Date.

2.04 Prepayments. (a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which may be given by telephone if confirmed promptly thereafter in writing), at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (C) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based on such Lender’s Applicable Percentage in respect of the Bridge Facility). If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each prepayment of the outstanding Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(a) shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages in respect of the Bridge Facility. In the event that the Borrower fails to specify the Type of Loan to which such prepayment shall be applied, prepayment shall be applied first to repay outstanding Base Rate Loans to the fullest extent thereof, and second to repay outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans, each in a manner which minimizes to the extent possible any amounts payable by the Borrower under Section 3.05.

(iv) Upon any receipt by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries of distributions from Denali License or Denali Spectrum (other than for taxes), then, after (A) the payment of up to $50,000,000 of any amounts required to be paid by Cricket Reauction to the FCC in connection with Auction 66 have been paid, and (B) the aggregate of all amounts, if any, required to be paid to the lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement have been paid, the Borrower shall, subject to, and if and to the extent prepayment of Loans and Exchange Securities with such distributions is permitted under, the Existing Credit Agreement (or the Existing Credit Agreement is modified or waived to permit such prepayments with such distributions), ratably prepay the Loans and Exchange Securities with 100% of such distributions, minus any reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries in connection therewith, within two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof by Holdings or such Subsidiary.

(v) Upon the occurrence of any Change of Control, the Borrower shall, subject to, and if and to the extent permitted under, the Existing Credit Agreement (as it may be modified or

Project Leap Bridge Credit Agreement

waived), prepay all the Loans and offer to repurchase all the Exchange Securities at 100% (or, in the case of any Fixed Rate Exchange Securities, 101%) of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(vi) With respect to the Type of Loan to be prepaid, each prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) shall be applied first to repay outstanding Base Rate Loans to the fullest extent thereof, and second to repay outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans, each in a manner that minimizes to the extent possible any amounts payable by the Borrower under Section 3.05.

(vii) Prepayments of the Bridge Facility made pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) shall be applied ratably to the outstanding Bridge Loans and any outstanding Exchange Securities, and after such application the balance may be retained by the Borrower for use in the ordinary course of its business, provided that the Commitments for the Bridge Facility shall be automatically and permanently reduced by the amount of prepayments made as set forth in Section 2.05(b)(ii).

(viii) For purposes of this Section 2.04 only, each of Denali Spectrum and Denali License shall be deemed to be a “Subsidiary” of Holdings if and to the extent the Existing Credit Agreement permits (or is modified or waived to permit) the prepayment of Loans using the net cash proceeds, if any, received by the Borrower from such entities with respect to the activities set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) of this paragraph if and to the extent engaged in by such entities, in which case the Borrower shall make such prepayment pursuant to Section 2.04(b)(i), (ii) or (iii), as applicable, to the extent of receipt of such net cash proceeds.

2.05 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. (a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which may be given by telephone if confirmed promptly thereafter in writing), terminate the unused portions of the Commitment; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. three (3) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the unused portions of the Commitments between the First Closing Date and the Second Closing Date.

(b) Mandatory. (i) The aggregate unused Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero immediately after the Third Closing Date or the end of the Availability Period, as applicable.

(ii) The Commitments for the Bridge Facility shall be automatically and permanently reduced (A) on each date on which the prepayment of Bridge Loans outstanding thereunder is required to be made pursuant to Section 2.04 by an amount equal to the amount so prepaid and (B) as set forth in Section 2.04(b)(iii).

(c) Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of unused Commitment under this Section 2.05. Upon any reduction of the unused Commitments, the Commitment of each Lender shall be reduced by such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such reduction amount. All fees accrued as of the effective date of any termination of the Commitments shall, insofar as they relate to such terminated Commitments, be paid on the effective date of such termination.

Project Leap Bridge Credit Agreement

2.06 Repayment of Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders the aggregate principal amount of all Bridge Loans and Extended Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.03.

2.07 Interest. (a) Bridge Loans. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07(c), (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan under the Bridge Facility shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate for the Bridge Facility and (ii) each Base Rate Loan under the Bridge Facility shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for the Bridge Facility.

(b) Extended Term Loans. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07(c), Extended Term Loans shall bear interest at the Initial Rate plus the Exchange Spread.

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

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

(iii) Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default in respect of the Bridge Facility exists and is continuing, the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Bridge Loans hereunder, as applicable, at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

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

(v) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at no time will the applicable interest rate for any Loan exceed the Maximum Rate (except through the application of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above).

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

2.08 Fees. (a) Ticking Fee. If the Commitments remain available in whole or in part after December 31, 2006, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a ticking fee equal to 0.50% per annum on the unused amount of the Commitments as of such date, computed on an average daily basis from and after January 1, 2007 through the end of the Availability Period and payable in full in cash at the end of each month in arrears and at the end of the Availability Period; provided, however, that any ticking fee accrued with respect to any of the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such ticking fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrower prior to such time; and provided further that no ticking fee shall

Project Leap Bridge Credit Agreement

accrue on any of the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. The ticking fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met.

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

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

2.09 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by clauses (a) or (b) of the definition of “Base Rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.11(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

2.10 Evidence of Debt. (a) The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent (set forth in the Register) shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note (but only to the extent that the Bridge Loans evidenced by such Note are not already evidenced by an existing Note), which shall evidence such Lender’s Bridge Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Bridge Loans and payments with respect thereto.

(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.10(a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Bridge Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

2.11 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback. (a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders

Project Leap Bridge Credit Agreement

to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage in respect of the Bridge Facility (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected on computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. Nothing in this Section 2.11(b) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender of its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Holdings or its Subsidiaries may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

(ii) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

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

(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Bridge Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative

Project Leap Bridge Credit Agreement

Agent because the conditions to the applicable Loan set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

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

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

(f) Insufficient Payment. Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 8.03. If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the principal amount of all Loans outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender.

2.12 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it, resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof of the Bridge Facility as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

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

(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements

Project Leap Bridge Credit Agreement

may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

2.13 Increase in Commitments. (a) Request for Increase. Upon reasonable prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), the Borrower may from time to time on or prior to the Initial Closing Date, request an increase in the Commitment by an amount (for all such requests) not exceeding in the aggregate $350,000,000; provided that (i) if an underwritten offering of Equity Interests of Holdings (including in connection with a Permitted Equity Forward) is consummated (which, in the case of a Permitted Equity Forward, shall mean the Permitted Equity Forward Effective Date) prior to the Initial Closing Date, the aggregate increase in the Commitment that the Borrower may request shall not exceed an amount equal to $350,000,000 minus the lesser of (x) $250,000,000 and (y) an amount equal to the product of (A) the net sales price (or, in the case of a Permitted Equity Forward, the initial forward sale price) multiplied by (B) the number of shares of Equity Interests of Holdings sold in such underwritten offering, (ii) there shall not be more than three (3) separate Incremental Increases (as defined below), (iii) no breach of the Specified Representations and no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or would occur after giving effect to any Incremental Increase, (iv) the Borrower shall have certified to the matters set forth in subclause (iii) and to compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 4.02(b) and (c) after giving effect to the funding of the applicable Incremental Increase in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (v) no Lender shall be required to provide any of the financing for any Incremental Increase, although the Lenders shall be invited to participate (at their option) therein, (vi) each Incremental Increase shall be effected pursuant to documentation (including appropriate legal opinions and resolutions) reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Arrangers, such that if any such Incremental Increase shall be on better terms for the lenders thereof, than the terms and conditions of the Bridge Facility, the terms and conditions of the Bridge Facility shall be adjusted to match such terms, and (vii) any additional Lenders shall at least meet the minimum financial criteria set forth on Schedule 2.13 and shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Arrangers only with respect to the ability of such additional lenders to satisfy their funding commitments, such approval (A) not to be unreasonably withheld and (B) to be granted or affirmatively withheld within one Business Day following receipt of notice by the Lead Arrangers of such additional lenders (and if not granted or affirmatively withheld within one Business Day following receipt of such notice, shall be deemed granted without further action on the part of the Lead Arrangers, the Borrower or Holdings). At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than five (5) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders).

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

(c) Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase, and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.

(d) Effective Date and Allocations; Amortization; Technical Amendments. If the Commitment is increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower

Project Leap Bridge Credit Agreement

shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase (each such allocated increase as to which the Increase Effective Date shall have occurred, an “Incremental Increase”) and the Increase Effective Date. In connection with any increase, this Agreement may be amended in a writing executed and delivered by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to reflect any technical changes necessary to give effect to such increase in accordance with its terms as set forth herein, but the Incremental Facility shall not be a separate facility from the Bridge Facility but rather shall be part of the Bridge Facility.

(e) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to such increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of each Holdings and the Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the Specified Representations are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and (B) no Default exists.

(f) Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Sections 2.12 or 10.01 to the contrary.

(g) Pricing Parity. In the event that the Applicable Rate in respect of Bridge Loans made under any Incremental Facility is higher than the Applicable Rate then in effect, then the Applicable Rate in respect of Bridge Loans under the Bridge Facility immediately prior to the Increase Effective Date for the applicable Incremental Facility shall be automatically increased to a rate equal to the Applicable Rate in respect of such Incremental Facility.

2.14 Take-Out Financing; Securities Demand; Registration Rights.

(a) The Borrower and Holdings shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to consummate, as promptly as practicable following the Second Closing Date, the offering and sale of senior unsecured notes (the “Securities Offering”) in an amount sufficient to repay all principal and other amounts then due or outstanding under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents from the net cash proceeds thereof and, in any event, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.14(b), use its best efforts to refinance the Loans and all other amounts due or outstanding under this Agreement in full with the proceeds of the Demand Securities referred to below as promptly as practicable following the Second Closing Date.

(b) In the event the Securities Offering has not been consummated (or has not generated sufficient net cash proceeds to repay all principal and other amounts due or outstanding under this Agreement), then, at any time and from time to time upon notice (a “Demand Notice”) by the Lead Arrangers commencing on the date which is the earlier of (i) 60 days after the Second Closing Date or (ii) April 30, 2007 (such earlier date, the “Initial Demand Date”), and continuing so that such notice may be given until the close of business on the Extension Date, the Borrower and/or Holdings will sell debt securities in an amount such that the net proceeds thereof are sufficient to repay all amounts outstanding with respect to the Loans or otherwise under this Agreement (collectively, the “Demand Securities”), the proceeds of which shall immediately be applied to refinance all amounts outstanding under the Bridge Facility and otherwise outstanding under this Agreement and to pay all reasonable fees (including reasonable attorneys fees) and expenses related thereto;

Project Leap Bridge Credit Agreement

(c) Following the Demand Notice, Holdings and/or the Borrower shall accept one or more takeout high yield financings comprising Permitted Unsecured Debt with reasonable and customary covenants and an aggregate weighted average yield not to exceed the Maximum Rate, on the Lead Arrangers’ customary terms, to be agreed by the Lead Arrangers. The Demand Securities (other than any loans) shall be issued pursuant to a private placement or Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act, as the Lead Arrangers may determine.

(d) The Borrower (and/or, at the request of the Lead Arrangers, Holdings) will file, within 60 days after the Initial Maturity Date, and will use its best efforts to cause to become effective as soon thereafter as practicable, a shelf registration statement with respect to the Exchange Securities (a “Shelf Registration Statement”) and/or a registration statement relating to a Registered Exchange Offer (as described below). If a Shelf Registration Statement is filed, the Borrower (and/or Holdings) will keep such registration statement effective and available (subject to customary exceptions) until it is no longer needed to permit unrestricted resales of Exchange Securities (but in no event longer than two years from the Initial Maturity Date).

If within 150 days from the Initial Maturity Date,

(i) a Shelf Registration Statement for the Exchange Securities has not been declared effective, or

(ii) the Borrower (and/or Holdings) has not effected an exchange offer (a “Registered Exchange Offer”) whereby the Borrower (and/or Holdings) has offered registered notes having terms identical to the Exchange Securities (the “Substitute Notes”) in exchange for all outstanding Exchange Securities and Extended Term Loans, or

(iii) the holders of Exchange Securities have not received Substitute Notes through the Registered Exchange Offer that, in the opinion of counsel, would be freely saleable by such holders without registration or requirement for delivery of a current prospectus under the Securities Act (other than a prospectus delivery requirement imposed on a broker-dealer who is exchanging Exchange Securities acquired for its own account as a result of market making or other trading activities) and the Borrower (and/or Holdings) has not made available a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to such Exchange Securities,

then the Borrower will pay liquidated damages of $0.192 per week per $1,000 principal amount of Exchange Securities outstanding to holders of such Exchange Securities who are unable freely to transfer Exchange Securities from and including the 151st day after the Initial Maturity Date to but excluding the earlier of the effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement or the date of consummation of such Registered Exchange Offer (such damages to be payable in the form of additional Exchange Securities, if the then interest rate thereon exceeds the cash interest rate cap), payable quarterly. The Borrower will also pay such liquidated damages for any period of time (subject to customary exceptions) following the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement that such Shelf Registration Statement is not available for resales thereunder, payable quarterly. In addition, unless and until the Borrower (and/or Holdings) has consummated the Registered Exchange Offer or caused the Shelf Registration Statement to become effective, the holders of the Exchange Securities will have the right to “piggyback” the Exchange Securities in the registration of any debt securities (subject to customary scale-back provisions) that are registered by the Borrower (and/or Holdings) (other than on a Form S-4 or Form S-8) unless all of the Exchange Securities and Extended Term Loans will be redeemed or repaid from the proceeds of such securities.

ARTICLE III
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01 Taxes. (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if the Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

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

(c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Evidence of Payments. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower 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 information return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the

Project Leap Bridge Credit Agreement

request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or any successor form claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

(ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or any successor form certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States,

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (A) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (B) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor form) certifying that the Foreign Lender is not a United States Person, or

(iv) any other form including Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY as applicable prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

In addition, in each of the foregoing circumstances, each Foreign Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Foreign Lender upon request of the Borrower or Administrative Agent. Each Foreign Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it no longer satisfies the legal requirements to provide any previously delivered form or certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. or other taxing authorities for such purpose).

Each Lender that is a United States person agrees deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Lender is legally entitled to do so), duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor form) establishing that the Lender is not subject to U.S. backup withholding tax to the extent reasonably requested by the Borrower or Administrative Agent to evidence an exemption from U.S. backup withholding tax.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund or credit (in lieu of such refund other than a foreign tax credit) of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the

Project Leap Bridge Credit Agreement

Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law or any guideline, directed duty or request of or any agreement with any Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (c) the LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Bridge Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke, without any penalty or payment, any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

3.04 Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans. (a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Eurodollar Rate);

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

Project Leap Bridge Credit Agreement

(iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender and receipt of a certificate for reimbursement pursuant to Section 3.04(c), the Borrower will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital 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 Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon request by such Lender and receipt of a certificate for reimbursement pursuant to Section 3.04(c) the Borrower will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and the basis for calculating such amounts (using any reasonable averaging or attribution methods) and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six (6)-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

3.05 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

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

Project Leap Bridge Credit Agreement

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

(c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.13;

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 Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged to similarly situated borrowers by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the LIBO Rate used in determining the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

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

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

3.07 Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

10.06 Successors and Assigns. (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lead Arrangers and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(e), (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.06(g), or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(i) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if at any time a Lender proposes to assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights hereunder to any Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund and is not a commercial bank, finance company, insurance company, financial institution or Fund (a “Non-Financial Entity”), then such Lender shall notify the Lead Arrangers that such proposed assignee or transferee is a Non-Financial Entity. Prior to granting its approval to such proposed assignment or transfer, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of the identity of such Non-Financial Entity. No assignment shall be made to any Non-Financial Entity that is designated by the Borrower, within three Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of notification from the Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, as a direct or indirect competitor of Holdings or any Subsidiary of Holdings.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s) 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 the assigning Lender’s Commitment under the Bridge Facility and the Loans at any time owing to it under the Bridge Facility or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $1,000,000, in the case of any

Project Leap Bridge Credit Agreement

assignment in respect of the Bridge Facility, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Bridge Loans or the Commitment assigned.

(iii) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount required as set forth in this Section 10.06; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(iv) No Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries (other than any Affiliate that is not Holdings or a Subsidiary of Holdings and becomes a Lender in connection with the primary syndication of the Bridge Facility, or an Affiliate of such a Lender).

(v) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

(vi) Assignment Fee. Upon any assignment, the parties to the assignment shall pay an administrative fee to the Administrative Agent in the amount of $3,500.

(vii) Assignments Beyond 50%. Each assignment that results in the Lead Arrangers and the Co-Arrangers and their Affiliates collectively holding less than 50.1% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments or the aggregate principal amount of the Bridge Loans outstanding, and each assignment occurring thereafter, shall require the prior written consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(viii) Lead Arrangers’ Consent. Each assignment, other than assignments to other Lenders (and the Affiliates thereof) or as permitted under clauses (g) or (i) below, shall require the prior consent of the Lead Arrangers, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

(c) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, 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 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request and following the delivery to the Borrower of the original note issued to the assignor Lender, if any, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a

Project Leap Bridge Credit Agreement

replacement Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.06(e).

(d) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (other than an Affiliate that qualifies as an Eligible Assignee pursuant to the definition of “Eligible Assignee”) or, subject to the last two sentences of this clause (e), a Non-Financial Entity) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans 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 Borrower, the Administrative Agent 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. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in clauses (c), (d) or (g) of the first proviso to Section 10.01 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (f) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.06(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.12 as though it were a Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time a Lender proposes to sell a participation to a Non-Financial Entity, then such Lender shall notify the Borrower of the identity of such proposed participant. No participation shall be sold to any Non-Financial Entity that is designated by the Borrower, within three (3) Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of notification from the applicable Lender pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, as a direct or indirect competitor of Holdings or any Subsidiary of Holdings.

(f) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.01(e) and (f) as though it were a Lender.

Project Leap Bridge Credit Agreement

(g) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or the Lead Arrangers, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment 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.

(h) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

(i) Special Purpose Funding Vehicles. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Bridge Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Bridge Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Bridge Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Bridge Loan pursuant to the terms hereof or, if it fails to do so, to make such payment to the Administrative Agent as is required under Section 2.11(b)(ii). Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of any Loan Party under this Agreement (including the Borrower’s obligations under Section 3.04), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Bridge Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Bridge Loan were made by such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee in the amount of $3,500, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Bridge Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Bridge Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as herein defined), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, auditors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory

Project Leap Bridge Credit Agreement

authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it; (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or guidelines, requests or directed duties of, or agreements with, any Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) or obligations imposed by non-governmental international bodies or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.07, to (i) any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (ii) any pledge referred to in Section 10.06(g) or (iii) any direct or indirect contractual counterparty or prospective counterparty (or such contractual counterparty’s or prospective counterparty’s professional advisor) to any credit derivative transaction relating to obligations of the Loan Parties; (g) with the consent of the Borrower; (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.07 or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower; (i) to any state, Federal or foreign authority or examiner (including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization) regulating any Lender; or (j) to any rating agency when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Lender); provided that, unless specifically prohibited by applicable Law or court order, each Lender shall notify the Borrower of any request by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with an examination of the financial condition of such Lender by such Governmental Authority) or subpoena for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to the disclosure of such information. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments, and the Loans. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party relating to any Loan Party or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party; provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified in writing at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.07 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. The agreements in this Section shall survive any assignment by a Lender, any sale of a participation by a Lender, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the

Project Leap Bridge Credit Agreement

Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

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

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

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

10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.13 Replacement of Lenders. If (i) any Lender or any participant of such Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or (ii) if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any participant of such Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or any participant of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or (iii) if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or (iv) if any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder requiring the consent of all Lenders or all Lenders directly affected thereby would be effective but for the failure of no more than two Lenders to consent thereto (each, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) or if any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrower the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Borrower may, at its sole

Project Leap Bridge Credit Agreement

expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(a) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b);

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Bridge Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

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

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws or guidelines, directed duties or requests of, or agreements with, any Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law); and

(e) no more than two (2) Non-Consenting Lenders may be replaced in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent.

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

10.14 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc. (a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. THE BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO

Project Leap Bridge Credit Agreement

THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

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

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

10.15 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

10.16 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender (unless such Lender is not, in its sole determination, subject to the Act referred to below) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the Act.

10.17 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, the Borrower and Holdings each acknowledge and agree, and acknowledge their respective Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) the credit facilities provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Borrower, Holdings and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and each of the Lead Arrangers, on the other hand, and each of the Borrower and Holdings is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); (ii) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, the Administrative Agent and each Lead Arranger each is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for the Borrower,

Holdings or any of their respective Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other Person; (iii) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lead Arranger has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower or Holdings with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document (irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lead Arranger has advised or is currently advising the Borrower, Holdings or any of their respective Affiliates on other matters) and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lead Arranger has any obligation to the Borrower, Holdings or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; (iv) the Administrative Agent and each of the Lead Arrangers and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower, Holdings and their respective Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lead Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (v) the Administrative Agent and each of the Lead Arrangers have not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and each of the Borrower and Holdings has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate.
