(b) Not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Closing Date, each Bank shall (except as provided in subsection (c) of this Section 2.3) make available its Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing in Federal funds immediately available in New York, New York, to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.1.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Bank prior to the Closing Date that such Bank will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s share of a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made such share available to the Administrative Agent on the Closing Date accordance with this Section 2.3 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount on behalf of such Bank.

In the event any Loans evidenced by such a Note are paid in full prior to the applicable Maturity Date, any such Bank shall return such Note to the Borrower. Each such Note shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto. Upon the execution and delivery of any such Note, any existing Note payable to such Bank shall be returned to the Borrower and replaced or modified accordingly.

Section 2.6. Method of Electing Interest Rates. (a) The Loans included in each Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate specified by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. Thereafter, the Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Group of Loans (subject in each case to the provisions of Article VIII), as follows:

(i) if such Loans are Base Rate Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert all or any portion of such Loans to Eurodollar Loans as of any Eurodollar Business Day;

(ii) if such Loans are Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert all or any portion of such Loans to Base Rate Loans and/or elect to continue all or any portion of such Loans as Eurodollar Loans for an additional Interest Period or additional Interest Periods, in each case effective on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Loans, or

on such other date designated by the Borrower in the Notice of Interest Rate Election, provided the Borrower shall pay any losses pursuant to Section 2.14.

Each such election shall be made by delivering a notice (a “Notice of Interest Rate Election”) to the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Eurodollar Business Days prior to, but excluding, the effective date of the conversion or continuation selected in such notice. A Notice of Interest Rate Election may, if it so specifies, apply to only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Group of Loans; provided that (i) such portion is allocated ratably among the Loans comprising such Group of Loans, (ii) the portion to which such Notice of Interest Rate Election applies, and the remaining portion to which it does not apply, are each in the minimum amounts required hereby, (iii) no Loan may be continued as, or converted into, a Eurodollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, provided, however, that if and for so long as the Borrower shall have an Investment Grade Rating from S&P and Xxxxx’x, if the Borrower shall so request and the Required Banks shall so elect, then a Loan may be continued as, or converted into, a Eurodollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (iv) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Maturity Date.

(b) Each Notice of Interest Rate Election shall specify:

(i) the Group of Loans (or portion thereof) to which such notice applies;

(ii) the date on which the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective, which shall comply with the applicable clause of subsection (a) above;

(iii) if the Loans comprising such Group of Loans are to be converted, the new type of Loans and, if such new Loans are Eurodollar Loans, the duration of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto; and

(iv) if such Loans are to be continued as Eurodollar Loans for an additional Interest Period, the duration of such additional Interest Period.

Each Interest Period specified in a Notice of Interest Rate Election shall comply with the provisions of the definition of Interest Period.

(c) Upon receipt of a Notice of Interest Rate Election from the Borrower pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Bank with Loans affected thereby the same day as it receives such Notice of Interest Rate Election of the contents thereof and the interest rates determined pursuant thereto and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Notice of Interest Rate Election to the Administrative Agent for any Group of Eurodollar Loans, such Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto.

Section 2.7. Interest Rates.

(a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Loan is made until the date it is repaid or converted into a Eurodollar Loan pursuant to Section 2.6, at a rate per annum equal to sum of

the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans of the applicable Facility for such day.

(b) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day during the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans of the applicable Facility for such day plus the Eurodollar Rate applicable to such Interest Period.

(c) In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any overdue principal amount of the Loans and, to the extent permitted under applicable law, overdue interest and fees in respect of all Loans, shall bear interest at the annual rate equal to the sum of the Base Rate and the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans of the applicable Facility and two percent (2%), or, if any Loan shall have been continued as, or converted into, a Eurodollar Loan, then, as to such Loan only, the sum of the Eurodollar Rate applicable to such Loan and the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans of the applicable Facility, and two percent (2%) (collectively, the “Default Rate”).

(d) The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Banks of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error.

(e) Interest on all Loans bearing interest at the Base Rate shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar month. Interest on all Loans bearing interest based on the Eurodollar Rate shall be payable in arrears on the last Eurodollar Business Day of the applicable Interest Period.

Section 2.8. Fees.

(b) Each mandatory prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be applied, first, to the Tranche A-1 Loans until paid in full and, second, to the Tranche A-2 Loans until paid in full.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment of the principal of and interest on the Loans and fees hereunder, without set-off or counterclaim, by initiating a wire transfer not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date when due, of Federal funds immediately available in New York, New York, to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.1, it being understood that written or facsimile notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent to make a payment from the funds in the Borrower’s account maintained at the Administrative Agent shall constitute the making of such payment to the extent of such funds held in such account. The Administrative Agent will promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof) distribute to each Bank its ratable share in accordance with the amount of such Bank’s relevant outstanding Loans, of each such payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks. If and to the extent that the Administrative Agent shall receive any such payment for the account of the Banks on or before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day (or Eurodollar Business Day, as applicable), and the Administrative Agent shall not have distributed to any Bank its applicable share of such payment on such day, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such amount to such Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount should have been distributed to such Bank until the date the Administrative Agent distributes such amount to such Bank, at the Federal Funds Rate. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on the Base Rate Loans or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Eurodollar Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Eurodollar Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Eurodollar Business Day unless such Eurodollar Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the immediately preceding Eurodollar Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Banks hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Bank. If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have so made such payment, each Bank shall repay to the

Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

Section 2.13. Non-Pro Rata Prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein the Borrower, with the consent of the Banks whose Loans are to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.13, shall be permitted to make non-pro rata optional prepayments or purchases (subject to Section 9.6(c)) of Loans; provided that (i) the Loans so prepaid or purchased are immediately cancelled, (ii) in the case of any such prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.13 only, such prepayment is effected pursuant to a “Dutch auction” in accordance with procedures reasonably satisfactory to the Arranger to ensure that each Bank under the applicable Facility has an opportunity to participate in such prepayment on a ratable basis in proportion to the respective amounts of Loans under such Facility offered by each Bank at the relevant price and (iii) at the time of any such prepayment, or in the case of a purchase, at the time the trade with respect thereto is entered into, no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing.

Section 2.14. Funding Losses. If the Borrower makes any payment of principal with respect to any Eurodollar Loan (pursuant to Article II, VI or VIII or otherwise) on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or if the Borrower fails to borrow any Eurodollar Loans after notice has been given to any Bank in accordance with Section 2.3(a), or if the Borrower shall deliver a Notice of Interest Rate Election specifying that a Eurodollar Loan shall be converted on a date other than the first (1st) day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall reimburse each Bank within 15 days after certification by such Bank of such loss or expense (which shall be delivered by each such Bank to the Administrative Agent for delivery to the Borrower) for any resulting loss (based on interest only, exclusive of fees, if any) or expense incurred by it (or by an existing Participant in the related Loan), including, without limitation, any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, but excluding loss of margin for the period after any such payment or failure to borrow, provided that such Bank shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall have delivered to the Borrower a certification as to the amount of such loss or expense, which certification shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for and calculation of such loss or expense and shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error.

Section 2.15. Computation of Interest and Fees. With respect to Base Rate Loans, the rate of interest on which is calculated based on the Prime Rate hereunder, interest thereon shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All other interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

Section 2.16. Use of Proceeds. The Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loans to repay certain of the loans and other amounts outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreements, to pay related fees and expenses and for general corporate purposes.

Section 2.17. Payments. If any Bank shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.3(c) or Section 7.6, then the Administrative

Agent may, in its sole discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement), apply any amounts thereafter received by it from any Loan Party for the account of such Bank to satisfy such Bank’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.18. Collateral. (a) The Obligations shall, at all times, be secured by a perfected first priority security interest in the Collateral.

(b) Each item of the Collateral shall be evaluated one time only by one of the Third Party Appraisers pursuant to reports which shall be completed separately by the Third Party Appraisers and delivered to the Administrative Agent prior to the Closing Date, and shall reflect (i) an Aggregate Valuation Amount of not less than $3,687,500,000, and (ii) in respect of each single item of Collateral in the pool, a Designated Valuation Amount (the reports of the Third Party Appraisers, together, the “Evaluation Report”).

(c) The Borrower shall be entitled to withdraw Collateral (i) in connection with any payment or prepayment in satisfaction of such Collateral, (ii) in connection with any sale to a third party or other monetization (that is not a payment or prepayment) (any such sale or monetization, a “Third Party Sale”), provided that in connection with any such Third Party Sale and after giving effect thereto, either (I) no Material Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or (II) a Material Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but such Third Party Sale is consummated pursuant to a binding commitment entered into at a time that no Material Default or Event of Default had occurred and was continuing or would have resulted therefrom (it being understood that the proceeds of any such Third Party Sale shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.11) or (iii) to the extent an item of Collateral is beneficially owned in part by a third party, following the collection of all payments or other amounts owing to a Loan Party such that the beneficial interest owned by such third party then constitutes the entire remaining interest in such asset (such item, after giving effect to such collection, “Third Party Collateral”).

In addition to Collateral withdrawals otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, promissory notes and related transfer documents, if any, constituting part of any Collateral (and any related collateral) if requested by the Borrower at any time prior to the commencement of a Foreclosure (as defined in the Security Agreement) in respect thereof, shall be released by the Administrative Agent to the custody of the Borrower, the applicable Grantor or its agents in escrow pending any enforcement action, exercise of rights or other customary actions in lieu of enforcement or for the purpose of correction of defects, if any, in each case in respect of any such promissory notes and related collateral. It is understood and agreed that any Collateral released pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall remain Collateral except in connection with a withdrawal otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

The Borrower shall cause the applicable Pledged Collateral LLCs to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent not later than 30 days after the Closing Date Mortgages with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. If at any time a Mortgaged Property is sold pursuant to a Third Party Sale for which the consideration to the Loan Parties is a fee interest in real property, the Borrower shall cause a Mortgage with respect

thereto to be delivered to the Administrative Agent within 30 days after acquisition of such property. If the Administrative Agent so determines, the Administrative Agent may at the sole expense of the Administrative Agent obtain (and the Borrower shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Administrative Agent with respect thereto, subject to third party rights) (i) appraisals, (ii) a completed “life of the loan” Federal Emergency Management Agency Standard Flood Hazard Determination with respect to each Mortgaged Property duly executed and acknowledged by the appropriate Loan Parties and, with respect to any Mortgaged Property which is designated as being located in a “flood hazard area” in any Flood Insurance Rate Map established by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or any successor agency), evidence of flood insurance, and/or (iii) updated environmental reports (but not more than Phase I site assessments), in each case with respect to any Mortgaged Property. Neither the Borrower nor any Grantor shall be required to obtain and deliver updated environmental reports, third-party reports, surveys, title insurance policies, tract searches or legal opinions in respect of any Mortgaged Property or Mortgage thereon; provided that the Borrower or any Grantor shall, if reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, be required to deliver such documents as are already in its possession in respect of any Mortgaged Property or Mortgage thereon.

ARTICLE IV

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

In order to induce the Administrative Agent and each of the other Banks which is or may become a party to this Agreement to make the Loans, the Borrower makes the following representations and warranties as of the Closing Date. Such representations and warranties shall survive the effectiveness of this Agreement, the execution and delivery of the other Loan Documents and the making of the Loans.

Section 4.1. Existence and Power. Each of the Loan Parties is a corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership, as applicable, duly organized or incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization or incorporation and has all powers and all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to own its property and assets and carry on its business as now conducted or as it presently proposes to conduct and has been duly qualified and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified and/or in good standing is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.2. Power and Authority. Each of the Loan Parties has the requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary action, if any, to authorize the execution and delivery on its behalf and its performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party. Each of the Loan Parties has duly executed and delivered each Loan Document (or with respect to any Mortgage, will duly execute and deliver at the time such Mortgage is required to be executed and delivered in accordance with Section 2.19) to which it is a party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and each such Loan Document constitutes (or, upon execution and delivery thereof, will constitute) its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with the terms thereof, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable insolvency, bankruptcy or other similar laws affecting creditors rights

generally, or general principles of equity, whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

Section 4.3. No Violation. Neither the execution, delivery or performance by or on behalf of any Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, nor compliance by any such Loan Party with the terms and provisions thereof nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such Loan Documents, (i) will contravene any applicable provision of any law, statute, rule, regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, (ii) will conflict with or result in any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien (other than Liens created under the Collateral Documents) upon any of the property or assets of the Borrower or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, or other agreement or other instrument to which the Borrower (or any partnership of which the Borrower is a partner) or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its property or assets is bound or to which it is subject, or (iii) will cause a default by any Loan Party under any organizational document of any Person in which such Loan Party has an interest, or cause a material default under such Person’s agreement or certificate of limited partnership, the consequences of which conflict, contravention, breach or default under the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) would (x) have a Material Adverse Effect (provided, however, that for purposes of determining whether the consequences of a conflict, contravention, breach or default under clause (ii) of this Section 4.3 would have a Material Adverse Effect, clause (ii) of the definition of the term “Material Adverse Effect” shall be modified to read as follows: “(ii) the ability of the Administrative Agent or the Banks to enforce the Loan Documents in a manner that materially and adversely affects the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Banks thereunder”), or (y) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien whatsoever upon any Collateral (except as contemplated herein).

Section 4.4. Financial Information. (a) The consolidated financial statements of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries (i) as of December 31, 2009, and for the Fiscal Year then ended, reported on by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, and (ii) as of September 30, 2010, and for the nine-month period then ended, in each case fairly presents, in conformity with GAAP, the consolidated financial position of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for such Fiscal Year or such period, as applicable.

(b) Since September 30, 2010, (i) except as may have been disclosed in writing to the Banks prior to the Effective Date, nothing has occurred having a Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) except (x) as set forth on Schedule 4.4(b) and (y) for the incurrence of Loans hereunder on the Closing Date, the Loan Parties have not incurred any material Indebtedness or guaranteed any material Indebtedness on or before the Closing Date.

Section 4.5. Litigation. There is no action, suit or proceeding pending against, or to the knowledge of the Borrower threatened against or affecting, (i) the Borrower or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries, (ii) the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or (iii) any of the assets of the Borrower or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries, before any court or arbitrator or any governmental body, agency or

official in which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse decision which could, individually, or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect or which in any manner draws into question the validity of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Section 4.6. Compliance with ERISA. (a) Except as set forth on Schedule 4.6(a) attached hereto, neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party is a member of or has entered into, maintained, contributed to, or been required to contribute to, or may incur any liability with respect to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan. In the event that at any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall become a member of any other material Plan or Multiemployer Plan, the Borrower promptly shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof (and from and after such notice, Schedule 4.6(a) shall be deemed modified thereby).

(b) No assets of the Borrower or any other Loan Party constitute “assets” (within the meaning of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, including, but not limited to, 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101 or any successor regulation thereto) of an “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA or a “plan” within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code. In addition to the prohibitions set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and not in limitation thereof, the Borrower covenants and agrees that the Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any other Loan Party to, use any “assets” (within the meaning of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, including but not limited to 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3101) of an “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA or a “plan” within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code to repay or secure the Note, the Loan, or the Obligations.

Section 4.7. Environmental. (a) The Borrower conducts reviews of the effect of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries when necessary in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated liabilities and costs (including, without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up or closure of properties presently owned, any capital or operating expenditures required to achieve or maintain compliance with environmental protection standards imposed by law or as a condition of any license, permit or contract, any related constraints on operating activities, and any actual or potential liabilities to third parties, including, without limitation, employees, and any related costs and expenses). On the basis of this review, the Borrower has reasonably concluded that such associated liabilities and costs, including, without limitation, the costs of compliance with Environmental Laws, are unlikely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Except as, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: (i) neither the Borrower nor any Guarantors has received any notice of violation, alleged violation, non-compliance, liability or potential liability regarding environmental matters or compliance with Environmental Laws with regard to any of the facilities and properties owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any Guarantors (the “Properties”) or the business operated by the Borrower or any Guarantor (the “Business”) that is not fully and finally resolved, (ii) to the Borrower’s actual knowledge, after due inquiry, no judicial proceeding or governmental or administrative action is pending or, to the Borrower’s actual knowledge, after due inquiry, threatened, under any Environmental Law to which the

Borrower or any Guarantor is or will be named as a party with respect to the Properties or the Business, nor are there any consent decrees or other decrees, consent orders, administrative orders or other orders, or other administrative or judicial requirements outstanding under any Environmental Law or relating to Materials of Environmental Concern with respect to the Business; and (iii) to the Borrower’s actual knowledge, the Properties and all operations at the Properties are in compliance, and have in the last five years been in compliance, with all applicable Environmental Laws, and there are no Materials of Environmental Concern at, under or about the Properties or violation of any Environmental Law with respect to the Properties or the Business.

Section 4.8. Taxes. The Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries have filed all United States Federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns which are required to be filed by them and have paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Borrower, or any Consolidated Subsidiary, except (i) such taxes, if any, as are reserved against in accordance with GAAP, (ii) such taxes as are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or (iii) such tax returns or such taxes, the failure to file when due or to make payment when due and payable will not have, in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries in respect of taxes or other governmental charges are, in the opinion of the Borrower, adequate.

Section 4.9. Full Disclosure. All information heretofore furnished by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Bank for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby is true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such information is stated or certified; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Borrower represents and warrants only that such information represents the Borrower’s expectations regarding future performance, based upon historical information and reasonable assumptions, it being understood, however, that actual results may differ from the projected results described in the financial projections. The Borrower has disclosed to the Banks in writing any and all facts which have or may have (to the extent the Borrower can now reasonably foresee) a Material Adverse Effect.

No order, consent, approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, is required to authorize, or is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by any Loan Party of any Loan Document to which it is a party or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated thereby other than those that have already been duly made or obtained

and remain in full force and effect or those which, if not made or obtained, would not have a Material Adverse Effect;

Section 4.13. Investment Company Act. Neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party is (x) an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (y) subject to any other federal or state law or regulation which purports to restrict or regulate its ability to borrow money.

Section 4.18. No Default. No Event of Default or, to the best of the Borrower’s knowledge, Default exists under or with respect to any Loan Document and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party is in default in any material respect beyond any applicable grace period under or with respect to any other material agreement, instrument or undertaking to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound in any respect, the existence of which default is likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.19. Licenses, etc. Each of the Loan Parties has obtained and does hold in full force and effect, all franchises, licenses, permits, certificates, authorizations, qualifications, accreditation, easements, rights of way and other consents and approvals which are necessary for the operation of its businesses as presently conducted, the absence of which is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.20. Compliance with Law. To the Borrower’s knowledge, each Loan Party and each of its assets are in compliance in all respects with all laws, rules, regulations, orders, judgments, writs and decrees, the failure to comply with which is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Subject to the provisions of Section 7.1, Section 7.5 and Section 7.6, each Agent shall administer the Loans in the same manner as each administers its own loans.

(b) The Syndication Agents and Documentation Agent shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Banks as such.

(c) The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys in fact (including without limitation, a custodian to administer the Collateral) and shall be entitled to advice of

counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in fact selected by it with reasonable care. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into such documents and instruments as it deems reasonably necessary to implement its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 7.4. Consultation with Experts. As between any Agent on the one hand and the Banks on the other hand, such Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 7.5. Liability of Agents. As between each Agent on the one hand and the Banks on the other hand, none of the Agents nor any of their affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in connection herewith (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Banks or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. As between each Agent on the one hand and the Banks on the other hand, none of the Agents nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any Borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of the Borrower or any other Loan Party; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article III, except receipt of items required to be delivered to such Agent, or (iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection herewith. As between each Agent on the one hand and the Banks on the other hand, none of the Agents shall incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement, or other writing (which may be a bank wire, telex or similar writing) believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by the proper party or parties.

Section 7.6. Indemnification. Each Bank shall, ratably in accordance with its Loans outstanding, indemnify the Agents and their affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including, without limitation, counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) that such indemnitee may suffer or incur in connection with its duties as Agent under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitee hereunder. In the event that any Agent shall, subsequent to its receipt of indemnification payment(s) from Banks in accordance with this section, recoup any amount from the Borrower, or any other party liable therefor in connection with such indemnification, such Agent shall reimburse the Banks which previously made the payment(s) pro rata, based upon the actual amounts which were theretofore paid by each Bank. Each Agent shall reimburse such Banks so entitled to reimbursement within two (2) Business Days of its receipt of such funds from the Borrower or such other party liable therefor.

Section 7.7. Credit Decision. Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Bank, and based on such

documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under this Agreement.

Section 7.8. Successor Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Banks and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which successor Administrative Agent shall, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and approved by the Borrower, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be the Administrative Agent, who shall act until the Required Banks shall appoint an Administrative Agent. Any appointment of a successor Administrative Agent by Required Banks or the retiring Administrative Agent, pursuant to the preceding sentence shall, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent. For gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by all the Banks (excluding for such determination the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as a Bank), the Administrative Agent may be removed at any time by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the acceptance of appointment by a successor Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.8.

Section 7.9. Consents and Approvals. All communications from the Administrative Agent to the Banks requesting the Banks’ determination, consent, approval or disapproval (i) shall be given in the form of a written notice to each Bank, (ii) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or item as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise each Bank where such matter or item may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (iii) shall include, if reasonably requested by a Bank and to the extent not previously provided to such Bank, written materials and a summary of all oral information provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (iv) shall include the Administrative Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof ). Each Bank shall reply promptly, but in any event within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the request therefor from the Administrative Agent (the “Bank Reply Period”). With respect to decisions requiring the approval of the Required Banks, or all the Banks or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall submit its recommendation or determination for approval of or

consent to such recommendation or determination to all Banks and upon receiving the required approval or consent shall follow the course of action or determination of the Required Banks or all the Banks, as the case may be.

Section 7.10. Exculpation of Third Party Appraisers. Each Bank acknowledges and agrees, for the benefit of the Agents, the Borrower and each of the Third Party Appraisers and each of their respective affiliates and each of their respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, counsel, auditors, advisors and other representatives (collectively, the “Representatives”), as follows:

(i) Each Third Party Appraiser prepared its respective Evaluation Report relying primarily on information provided by the Borrower, and neither any Third Party Appraiser nor any Agent is responsible or liable for any inaccuracy or omission in the information provided to the Third Party Appraisers by the Borrower. None of the Third Party Appraisers or Agents has made or makes any express or implied representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of such information.

(ii) None of the Third Party Appraisers or Agents has any obligation to engage in any further diligence regarding the information provided to it by the Borrower or to obtain any additional information for purposes of the Third Party Appraisers preparing their respective Evaluation Reports.

(iii) None of the Third Party Appraisers or Agents has engaged an auditor to perform an audit or review of the financial statements of the Borrower, and none of the Third Party Appraisers or Agents is providing any assurance of the accuracy of the information in such financial statements.

(iv) There is no assurance that the Evaluation Reports will accurately predict the actual future performance and/or operations of any asset and/or property reviewed for purposes of the Evaluation Reports.

(v) No Agent shall be responsible or liable for the preparation or the contents of the Evaluation Reports or such Bank’s use of the Evaluation Reports, and such Bank agrees that such Bank will not bring or assert any claim, suit or action against any Agent or any of its Representatives with respect to, or arising out of, the Evaluation Reports or such Bank’s use thereof.

ARTICLE VIII

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

Section 8.1. Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing the Administrative Agent or the Required Banks determine in good faith that deposits in Dollars are not being offered in the relevant market for such Interest Period or that the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to the Banks or the Required Banks, as

the case may be, of making, funding or maintaining such Eurodollar Borrowing for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Banks, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligations of the Banks to make, continue, or convert Loans into, Eurodollar Loans in Dollars shall be suspended. In such event, unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent on or before the second (2nd) Eurodollar Business Day before, but excluding, the date of any Eurodollar Borrowing for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously been given that it elects not to borrow on such date, such Borrowing shall instead be made as a Base Rate Borrowing.

Section 8.2. Illegality. If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Eurodollar Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) made after the Closing Date of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful for any Bank (or its Eurodollar Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its Eurodollar Loans in a particular currency, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Banks and the Borrower, whereupon until such Bank notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Bank in the case of the event described above to make Eurodollar Loans in such currency, shall be suspended. With respect to Eurodollar Loans, before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.2, such Bank shall designate a different Eurodollar Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, be otherwise commercially disadvantageous to such Bank.

If at any time, it shall be unlawful for any Bank to make, maintain or fund any of its Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to either (x) cause a bank, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, to offer to purchase the Loans of such Bank for an amount equal to such Bank’s outstanding Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest and fees thereon and all other amounts due to such Bank are concurrently therewith paid in full to such Bank, and to become a Bank hereunder, or obtain the agreement of one or more existing Banks to offer to purchase the Loans of such Bank for such amount, which offer such Bank is hereby required to accept, or (y) to repay in full all Loans then outstanding of such Bank, together with interest due thereon and any and all fees and other amounts due hereunder.

Section 8.3. Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

(a) If, on or after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) made after the Closing Date of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, (i) shall subject any Bank to any tax on its capital reserves (or any similar

tax) with respect to this Agreement or any Eurodollar Loan made by it (except for Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes covered by Section 8.4 and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income or profits of such Lender); (ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (but excluding with respect to any Eurodollar Loan any such requirement reflected in an applicable Eurodollar Reserve Percentage)), special deposit, insurance assessment or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or (iii) shall impose on any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the interbank market any other condition materially more burdensome in nature, extent or consequence than those in existence as of the date hereof affecting such Bank’s Eurodollar Loans or its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or under its Note with respect to such Eurodollar Loans, by an amount reasonable determined by such Bank to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts (based upon a reasonable allocation thereof by such Bank to the Eurodollar Loans made by such Bank hereunder) as will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduction to the extent such Bank generally imposes such additional amounts on other borrowers of such Bank in similar circumstances; provided however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Basel III all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith shall be deemed to be a change in law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

(b) If any Bank shall have reasonably determined that, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any such law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) made after the Closing Date of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Bank (or its Parent) as a consequence of such Bank’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank (or its Parent) for such reduction to the extent such Bank generally imposes such additional amounts on other borrowers of such Bank in similar circumstances.

(c) Each Bank will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, be otherwise

disadvantageous to such Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Bank shall fail to notify the Borrower of any such event within ninety (90) days following the end of the month during which such event occurred, then the Borrower’s liability for any amounts described in this Section incurred by such Bank as a result of such event shall be limited to those attributable to the period occurring subsequent to the ninetieth (90th) day prior to, but excluding, the date upon which such Bank actually notified the Borrower of the occurrence of such event. A certificate of any Bank claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation of the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. In determining such amount, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(d) If at any time, any Bank has demanded compensation pursuant to this Section 8.3, the Borrower shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent to either (x) in accordance with Section 9.6 (c), cause an Assignee to offer to purchase the Loans of such Bank for an amount equal to such Bank’s outstanding Loans plus accrued interest, fees and other amounts due to such Bank, and to become a Bank hereunder, or to obtain the agreement of one or more existing Banks to offer to purchase the Loans of such Bank for such amount, which offer such Bank is hereby required to accept, or (y) to repay in full all Loans then outstanding of such Bank, together with interest and all other amounts due thereon.

Section 8.4. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments made by or on behalf of any Loan Party to or for the account of any Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for or on account of any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Bank and the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Bank, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise or similar taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of such Bank’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof or by any other jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) as a result of a present or former connection between such Bank or the Administrative Agent and such other jurisdiction or by the United States, except to the extent that such connection would not have arisen but for entering into the transactions contemplated hereby (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Non-Excluded Taxes”); provided that, if any Non-Excluded Taxes are required to be deducted from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, as determined in good faith by the applicable withholding agent, (i) the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including, without limitation, deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 8.4) such Bank or the Administrative Agent (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 or cause to be made such deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv)

the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.1, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any other Loan Document or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) In the event that Non-Excluded Taxes not imposed on the Closing Date are imposed, or Non-Excluded Taxes imposed on the Closing Date increase, the applicable Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such event in writing within a reasonable period following receipt of knowledge thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Bank shall fail to notify the Borrower of any such event within one hundred eighty (180) days following the end of the month during which such event occurred, then the Borrower’s liability for such additional Non-Excluded Taxes incurred by such Bank as a result of such event (including payment of a make whole amount under Section 8.4(a)(i)) shall be limited to those attributable to the period occurring subsequent to the one hundred eightieth (180th) day prior to, but excluding, the date upon which such Bank actually notified the Borrower of the occurrence of such event.

(d) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Bank and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 8.4) paid by such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and, so long as such Bank or the Administrative Agent has promptly paid any such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, any liability for penalties and interest arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 15 days from the date such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes demand therefor.

(e) Each Bank or the Administrative Agent that is a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Bank and the Administrative Agent listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank or the Administrative Agent in the case of each other Bank or the Administrative Agent, shall provide the Borrower (and, in the case of a Bank, the Administrative Agent) with two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service and shall provide the Borrower (and, in the case of a Bank, the Administrative Agent) with two further copies of any such form on or before the date any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered to the Borrower. Each Bank and the Administrative Agent that is not a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Bank and the Administrative Agent listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank or the Administrative Agent in the case of each other Bank or the Administrative Agent, shall provide the Borrower (and, in the case of a Bank, the Administrative Agent) with two duly completed copies of an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, as

applicable to such Bank or the Administrative Agent, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, and shall provide the Borrower (and, in the case of a Bank, the Administrative Agent) with two further copies of any such form on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. A Bank that provides copies of the Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN and that is legally entitled to claim the portfolio interest exemption pursuant to Section 881(c) of the Code, shall further provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with, together with such Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, a written confirmation of its entitlement to such exemption substantially in the form of Exhibit I. To the extent that it is legally entitled to do so, a Bank shall properly claim that such Bank is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of, or eliminates, withholding tax on payments of interest hereunder. A Bank that is not a United States person and that grants a participating interest in a Loan or Commitment to any other person shall provide, in addition to its own forms specified above, the Borrower with two duly completed copies of the Internal Revenue Service form applicable to such other person, each under the cover of an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and a withholding statement prepared in the manner prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, or such other forms and/or certificates that it is legally entitled to provide evidencing such participant’s entitlement to any exemption from, or reduction in the rate of U.S. withholding tax, and shall provide the Borrower with two further copies of any such forms and statements on or before the date any such forms or statements expire or become obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or statement previously delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. To the extent that it is legally entitled to do so, a Bank that is not a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent any other form prescribed by applicable requirements of U.S. federal income tax law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable requirements of law to permit the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. If a Bank fails to timely and properly provide or update such forms or statements (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation occurring subsequently to the time such Bank first becomes a party to this Agreement) or if the form or statement provided by a Bank at the time such Bank first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States withholding tax rate in excess of zero, then backup withholding or withholding tax resulting from the foregoing shall be considered excluded from “Non-Excluded Taxes” as defined in Section 8.4(a), except to the extent that, in the case of United States withholding tax, such Bank’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the applicable Loan Party with respect to such United States withholding tax.

(f) Upon reasonable demand by, and at the expense of, the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Bank, the Administrative Agent or Bank, as the case may be, shall deliver to the Borrower, or to such government or taxing authority as the Borrower may reasonably direct, any form or document that may be required or reasonably requested in writing in order to allow the Borrower to make a payment to or for the account of such Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Non-Excluded Taxes or with such deduction or

withholding at a reduced rate (so long as the completion, execution or submission of such form or document would not materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of the party in receipt of such demand), with any such form or document to be accurate and completed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower making such demand and to be executed and to be delivered with any reasonably required certification.

(g) For any period with respect to which a Bank has failed to provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the appropriate form pursuant to (and to the extent required by) Section 8.4(e) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Bank shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 8.4(d) with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however, that should a Bank, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, become subject to Non-Excluded Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Bank shall reasonably request to assist such Bank to recover such taxes so long as the Borrower shall incur no cost or liability as a result thereof.

(h) If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Bank pursuant to this Section 8.4, then such Bank will change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue if such change, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

(i) If at any time, any Bank has demanded compensation pursuant to Section 8.3 or Section 8.4 or the obligation of such Bank to make Eurodollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.2, in any such case, the Borrower shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent to either (x) in accordance with Section 9.6 (c), cause an Assignee to offer to purchase the Commitments of such Bank for an amount equal to such Bank’s outstanding Loans plus accrued interest, fees and other amounts due to such Bank, and to become a Bank hereunder, or to obtain the agreement of one or more existing Banks to offer to purchase the Commitments of such Bank for such amount, which offer such Bank is hereby required to accept, or (y) to repay in full all Loans then outstanding of such Bank, together with interest and all other amounts due thereon.

(j) Each Bank shall indemnify the Administrative Agent for the full amount of any taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings imposed by any taxation authority or other authority, that are attributable to such Bank and that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, together with all interest, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, as determined by the Administrative Agent in good faith. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Bank by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 8.5. Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Eurodollar Loans. If (i) the obligation of any Bank to make Eurodollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.2 or (ii) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.3 or Section 8.4 with respect to its Eurodollar Loans and the Borrower shall, by at least five Business Days’ prior notice to such Bank through the Administrative Agent, have elected that the

provisions of this Section shall apply to such Bank, then, unless and until such Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist:

(a) the Borrower shall be deemed to have delivered a Notice of Interest Rate Election with respect to such affected Eurodollar Loans and thereafter all Loans which would otherwise be continued or converted by such Bank to the Borrower as Eurodollar Loans shall be made instead as Base Rate Loans; and

(b) after each of its Eurodollar Loans has been repaid, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to repay such Eurodollar Loans shall be applied to repay its Base Rate Loans instead; and

(c) the Borrower will not be required to make any payment which would otherwise be required by Section 2.14 with respect to such Eurodollar Loans converted to Base Rate Loans pursuant to clause (a) above.

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Agent and each Bank, their respective affiliates and the respective directors, officers, agents and employees of the foregoing (each an “Indemnitee”) and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, which may be incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding that may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Obligations) be asserted against any Indemnitee, as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to or by reason of, (i) any of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or the execution, delivery or performance of any Loan Document, (ii) any violation by the Borrower or the Environmental Affiliates of any applicable Environmental Law, (iii) any Environmental Claim arising out of the management, use, control, ownership or operation of property or assets by the Borrower or any of the Environmental Affiliates, including, without limitation, all on-site and off-site activities of the Borrower or any Environmental Affiliate involving Materials of Environmental Concern, (iv) the breach of any environmental representation or warranty set forth herein, but excluding those liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses (a) for which

such Indemnitee has been compensated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or that are excluded under Section 8.3, (b) incurred solely by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, (c) arising from any violation of Environmental Law relating to a Property, which violation is caused by the act or omission of such Indemnitee after such Indemnitee takes possession of such Property or (d) owing by such Indemnitee to any third party based upon contractual obligations of such Indemnitee owing to such third party which are not expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. In addition, the indemnification set forth in this Section 9.3(b) in favor of any director, officer, agent or employee of any Agent or any Bank shall be solely in their respective capacities as such director, officer, agent or employee. The Borrower’s obligations under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations. Without limitation of the other provisions of this Section 9.3, the Borrower shall indemnify and hold each of the Agents and the Banks free and harmless from and against all loss, costs (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses), expenses, taxes, and damages (including consequential damages) that the Agents and the Banks may suffer or incur by reason of the investigation, defense and settlement of claims and in obtaining any prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA or the Code necessary in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable judgment by reason of the inaccuracy of the representations and warranties, or a breach of the provisions, set forth in Section 4.6(b). In the case of an investigation, litigation or proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, any of the Borrower’s equity holders or creditors, an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not an Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto.

Section 9.4. Sharing of Set-Offs. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Bank is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Bank (including, without limitation, by branches, agencies and Affiliates of such Bank wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of the Obligations of the Borrower then due and payable to such Bank under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in Obligations purchased by such Bank. Each Bank agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to any Loan made by it, which is greater than the proportion received by any other Bank, the Bank receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such participations in the Loans made by the other Banks, and such other adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments of principal and interest with respect to the Loans made by the Banks shall be shared by the Banks pro rata; provided that nothing in this Section shall impair the right of any Bank to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have to any deposits not received in connection with the Loans and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of the Borrower other than its indebtedness under the Loans. The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of a participation in a Loan, whether or not acquired

pursuant to the foregoing arrangements, may exercise rights of set-off or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Bank may, by separate agreement with the Borrower, waive its right to set off contained herein or granted by law and any such written waiver shall be effective against such Bank under this Section 9.4.

Section 9.5. Amendments and Waivers. (a) Any provision of this Agreement or the Notes or other Loan Documents may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Borrower and the Required Banks (and, if the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent in its capacity as the Administrative Agent are affected thereby, by the Administrative Agent); provided that no amendment or waiver with respect to this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document shall, unless signed by (x) each Bank directly affected thereby, (i) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder, (ii) postpone, whether through forbearance or otherwise, the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder, (iii) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of “Required Banks” or otherwise change the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans, or the number of Banks, which shall be required for the Banks or any of them to take any action under this Section or any other provision of this Agreement or any Collateral Document, (iv) release all or a substantial portion of the Guarantors under the Guarantees (except as expressly permitted by the Guarantees or this Agreement) or release all or a substantial portion of the Collateral under the Collateral Documents (except as expressly permitted by the Collateral Documents or this Agreement), (v) modify the provisions of this Section 9.5, (vi) subject any Bank to any additional obligation hereunder, or (vii) amend, modify or waive the definition of “Pro Rata Share” or any other provision that provides for the ratable or pro rata nature of disbursements by or payments to Banks, and (y) each Tranche A-1 Bank (or at any time after the payment in full of all of the Tranche A-1 Obligations, each Tranche A-2 Bank), amend, modify or waive any provision of Sections 2.10 and 2.11.

(b) The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Bank, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Bank. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on any Loan Party in any case shall entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 9.5 shall be binding upon each Bank at the time outstanding, each future Bank and, if signed by a Loan Party, on such Loan Party.

Section 9.6. Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of all Banks and the Administrative Agent and (ii) a Bank may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its interest under this Agreement except as permitted in subsection (b) and (c) of this Section 9.6.

(b) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, any Bank may at any time, grant to a then existing Bank or any Affiliate thereof, one or more banks, finance companies, insurance companies or other financial institutions or trusts (a “Participant”) participating interests in any or all of its Loans. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any Bank may at any time grant to any Person in any amount (also a “Participant”), participating interests in any or all of its Loans. Any participation made during the continuation of an Event of Default shall not be affected by the subsequent cure of such Event of Default. In the event of any such grant by a Bank of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, such Bank shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Bank may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such participation agreement may provide that such Bank will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in clause (i), (ii), or (iii) of Section 9.5(a)(x) without the consent of the Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall, to the extent provided in its participation agreement, be entitled to the benefits of Article VIII with respect to its participating interest. Each Bank that grants participating interests in any or all of its Loans, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and principal amount of the Loan and interest owing to each Participant (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Bank shall have any obligations to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person, except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan is in registered form under Section 5f. 103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Banks shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(c) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (c)(ii) below, any Bank may assign to one or more assignees (including without limitation, subject to Section 2.13, the Borrower) (each, an “Assignee”), other than a natural person, all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of:

(A) the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld and provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 5 Business Days after having received notice thereof), provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Bank, an affiliate of a Bank, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other Person; and

(B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Loan to a Bank, an affiliate of a Bank, an Approved Fund or an assignment to the Borrower as contemplated by Section 2.13.

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Bank, an affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Bank’s Loans under any Facility, the amount of the Loans of the assigning Bank subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Transfer Supplement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 (which shall be calculated as necessary to include any concurrent assignments by the assignor to an affiliate, or an Approved Fund, of the assignee) unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Bank and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;

(B) (1) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Transfer Supplement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (other than in the case of an assignment to the Borrower as contemplated by Section 2.13) and (2) the assigning Bank shall have paid in full any amounts owing by it to the Administrative Agent; and

(C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Bank, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in which the Assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.

For the purposes of this Section 9.6, “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Bank, (b) an affiliate of a Bank or (c) an entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Bank.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (c)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Transfer Supplement the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Transfer Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement, and the assigning Bank thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Transfer Supplement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of a Transfer Supplement covering all of the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 8.3, 8.4

and 9.3). Any assignment or transfer by a Bank of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Bank of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower and permitting access thereto to the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Transfer Supplement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks and each of their Assignees, and principal amount of the Loans and interest owing to, each Bank 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 Banks shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Transfer Supplement executed by an assigning Bank and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Bank hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (c)(ii)(B) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (c)(i) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Transfer Supplement and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(d) Any Bank may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and its Note to a Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall release the transferor Bank from its obligations hereunder.

(e) No Assignee, Participant or other transferee of any Bank’s rights shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.3 or Section 8.4 than such Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred, unless such transfer is made (i) with the Borrower’s prior written consent or (ii) by reason of the provisions of Section 8.2, Section 8.3 or Section 8.4 requiring such Bank to designate a different Applicable Lending Office under certain circumstances or at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such greater payment did not exist.

Section 9.7. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Judgment Currency. (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(b) Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document and any action for enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof may be brought in the courts of the State of New York or of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, in each case, which are located in New York County, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Borrower hereby accepts for itself and in respect

of its property, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and appellate courts from any thereof. The Borrower irrevocably consents, for itself, to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the hand delivery, or mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Borrower at its address set forth below its signature hereto. The Borrower hereby, for itself, irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document brought in the courts referred to above and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against the Borrower in any other jurisdiction.

(c) If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so under applicable law, that the rate of exchange used shall be the spot rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the first currency could be purchased in New York City with such other currency by the person obtaining such judgment on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

(d) The parties agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so under applicable law, that the obligations of the Borrower to make payments in any currency of the principal of and interest on the Loans of the Borrower and any other amounts due from the Borrower hereunder to the Administrative Agent as provided herein (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with Section 9.7(c)), in any currency other than the relevant currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt by the Administrative Agent at its relevant office on behalf of the Banks of the full amount of the relevant currency expressed to be payable in respect of the principal of and interest on the Loans and all other amounts due hereunder (it being assumed for purposes of this clause (i) that the Administrative Agent will convert any amount tendered or recovered into the relevant currency on the date of such tender or recovery), (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in the relevant currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the relevant currency so expressed to be payable and (iii) shall not be affected by an unrelated judgment being obtained for any other sum due under this Agreement.

Section 9.8. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of counterparts hereof signed by each of the parties hereto (or, in the case of any party as to which an executed counterpart shall not have been received, receipt by the Administrative

Agent in form satisfactory to it of telegraphic, telex or other written confirmation from such party of execution of a counterpart hereof by such party).

Section 9.9. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE AGENTS AND THE BANKS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 9.10. Survival. All indemnities set forth herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making and repayment of the Loans hereunder.

Section 9.11. Domicile of Loans. Subject to the provisions of Article VIII, each Bank may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any domestic or foreign branch office, subsidiary or affiliate of such Bank.

Section 9.12. Limitation of Liability. No claim may be made by the Borrower or any other Person acting by or through the Borrower against the Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Syndication Agent or any Bank or the affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agent of any of them for any punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or by the other Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and the Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

Section 9.13. Recourse Obligation. This Agreement and the Obligations hereunder are fully recourse to the Borrower and each Guarantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant, or agreement contained in this Agreement shall be had against any officer, director, shareholder or employee of the Borrower or of any Guarantor except in the event of fraud or misappropriation of funds on the part of such officer, director, shareholder or employee.

Section 9.14. Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and the Banks understands that some of the information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be received by it prior to the time that such information shall have been made public, and each of the Agents and the Banks hereby agrees that it will keep all Information (as defined below) received by it confidential except that each Agent and each Bank shall be permitted to disclose Information (i) only to such of its officers, directors, employees, agents, auditors, Affiliates and buyers as need to know such information in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document and who will be advised of the confidential nature of such Information; (ii) to any other party to this Agreement; (iii) to a proposed Assignee or Participant in accordance with Section 9.6 hereof or to a counterparty or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations hereunder, provided such Person agrees in writing to keep such Information confidential on terms substantially similar to this Section 9.14; (iv) to the extent required by

applicable law and regulations or by any subpoena or other legal process; (v) to the extent requested by any bank regulatory authority or other regulatory authority or self-regulatory organization; (vi) to the extent such information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement; (vii) to the extent the Borrower shall have consented to such disclosure or (viii) in connection with any legal or other enforcement proceeding in connection with any Loan Document or any of the transaction contemplated thereby. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, auditors, lawyers and Affiliates relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including Investment Affiliates) or any of their respective businesses other than information that is generally available to the public. In the event of any required disclosure of Information, any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as provided in this Section 9.14 agrees to use reasonable efforts to inform the Borrower as promptly as practicable of the circumstances and the Information required to be disclosed to the extent not prohibited by applicable law.

Section 9.15. USA Patriot Act. Each Bank 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 “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Bank to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

(b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Bank has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to the Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between Administrative Agent and Banks, on one hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and
