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

ARTICLE I DEFINITIONS

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Termination Date, the Borrower may borrow,

Page 28

repay and reborrow Revolving Loans hereunder. This Agreement combines and fully amends and restates the Prior Credit Agreement. The principal amount outstanding under the Prior Credit Agreement as of the date hereof (after taking into account any paydowns in accordance with Section 6.1(c)) shall be deemed to be Loan proceeds disbursed hereunder and under the Notes, with each Lender having funded a portion of such Loan proceeds in an amount equal to its respective Pro Rata Share thereof; such initial outstanding advances (together with issued and undrawn Letters of Credit) are set forth on Schedule 1.1 attached hereto. Additionally, so long as Borrower remains in compliance with the aggregate permitted sublimit on Bid Rate Loans set forth in Section 2.4(a), each Bid Rate Loan outstanding under the Prior Credit Agreement as of the Effective Date shall remain outstanding hereunder, provided that the Lender with respect to such Bid Rate Loan (A) will remain a lender under this Agreement and (B) consents in writing to allowing such Bid Rate Loan to remain outstanding.

(b) Requesting Revolving Loans. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing of each borrowing of Revolving Loans.

With respect to Revolving Loans to be made after the Effective Date, unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the specified date of borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent the Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender will make the proceeds of such Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent on the date of the requested borrowing as set forth in the Notice of Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower the amount of such Revolving Loan to be provided by such Lender.

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

The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the Lenders shall be responsible for (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effects of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of or any drawing honored under any Letter of Credit even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit, or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telex, telecopy or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds of any drawing

Page 32

under any Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. None of the above shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the Administrative Agent’s rights or powers hereunder. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not create against the Administrative Agent any liability to the Borrower or any Lender. In this connection, the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Administrative Agent for any drawing made under any Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any other applicable Letter of Credit Document under all circumstances whatsoever, including without limitation, the following circumstances: (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit Document or any term or provisions therein; (B) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the Letter of Credit Documents; (C) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or in the Letter of Credit Documents or any unrelated transaction; (D) any breach of contract or dispute between the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person; (E) any demand, statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein or made in connection therewith being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (F) any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; (G) payment by the Administrative Agent under the Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not strictly comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit; and (H) any other act, omission to act, delay or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations.

(h) Amendments, Etc. The issuance by the Administrative Agent of any amendment, supplement or other modification to any Letter of Credit shall be subject to the same conditions applicable under this Agreement to the issuance of new Letters of Credit (including, without limitation, that the request therefor be made through the Administrative Agent), and no such amendment, supplement or other modification shall be issued unless either (i) the respective Letter of Credit affected thereby would have complied with such conditions had it originally been issued hereunder in such amended, supplemented or modified form or (ii) the Requisite Lenders shall have consented thereto. In connection with any such amendment, supplement or other modification, the Borrower shall pay the fees, if any, payable under the last sentence of Section 3.6(e).

(i) Lenders’ Participation in Letters of Credit. Immediately upon the issuance by the Administrative Agent of any Letter of Credit each Lender shall be deemed to have absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the Administrative Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the liability of the Administrative Agent with respect to such Letter of Credit and each Lender thereby shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and shall be unconditionally obligated to the Administrative Agent to pay and discharge when due, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Administrative Agent’s

Page 33

liability under such Letter of Credit. In addition, upon the making of each payment by a Lender to the Administrative Agent in respect of any Letter of Credit pursuant to the immediately following subsection (j), such Lender shall, automatically and without any further action on the part of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, acquire (i) a participation in an amount equal to such payment in the Reimbursement Obligation owing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit and (ii) a participation in a percentage equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share in any interest or other amounts payable by the Borrower in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation (other than the Fees payable to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the last sentence of Section 3.6(e)).

(j) Payment Obligation of Lenders. Each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent on demand in immediately available funds in Dollars the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each drawing paid by the Administrative Agent under each Letter of Credit to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.2(d). Each such Lender’s obligation to make such payments to the Administrative Agent under this subsection, and the Administrative Agent’s right to receive the same, shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and shall not be affected in any way by any circumstance whatsoever, including without limitation, (i) the failure of any other Lender to make its payment under this subsection, (ii) the financial condition of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, (iii) the existence of any Default or Event of Default, including any Event of Default described in Section 11.1(e) or Section 11.1(f) or (iv) the termination of the Commitments. Each such payment to the Administrative Agent shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or deduction whatsoever.

(k) Information to Lenders. Promptly following any change in Letters of Credit outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender and the Borrower a notice describing the aggregate amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding at such time. Upon the request of any Lender from time to time, the Administrative Agent shall deliver any other information reasonably requested by such Lender with respect to each Letter of Credit then outstanding. Other than as set forth in this subsection, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to notify the Lenders regarding the issuance or other matters regarding Letters of Credit issued hereunder. The failure of the Administrative Agent to perform its requirements under this subsection shall not relieve any Lender from its obligations under Section 2.2(j).

Section 2.3 Swingline Loans.

(a) Swingline Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including without limitation Section 2.14, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrower, during the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Swingline Termination Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to, but not exceeding, $35,000,000, as such amount may be reduced from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof. If at any time the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans outstanding at such time exceeds the Swingline Commitment in effect at such time, the Borrower shall immediately pay the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender the amount of such excess. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans hereunder.

Page 34

(b) Procedure for Borrowing Swingline Loans. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender notice either telephonically or pursuant to a Notice of Swingline Borrowing, in the form of Exhibit D-2 attached hereto, delivered no later than 9:00 a.m. on the proposed date of such borrowing. Any such telephonic notice shall include all information to be specified in a written Notice of Swingline Borrowing, and shall be followed promptly by delivery from Borrower of a completed Notice of Swingline Borrowing. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of the requested Swingline Loan and subject to satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article VI for such borrowing, the Swingline Lender shall make the proceeds of such Swingline Loan available to the Borrower in Dollars, in immediately available funds, at the account specified by the Borrower in the Notice of Swingline Borrowing.

(c) Interest. Swingline Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time or at such other rate or rates as the Borrower and the Swingline Lender may agree from time to time in writing. All accrued and unpaid interest on Swingline Loans shall be payable on the dates and in the manner provided in Section 2.5 with respect to interest on Base Rate Loans (except as the Swingline Lender and the Borrower may otherwise agree in writing in connection with any particular Swingline Loan).

(d) Swingline Loan Amounts, Etc. Each Swingline Loan shall be in the minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof, or such other minimum amounts agreed to by the Swingline Lender and the Borrower. Any voluntary prepayment of a Swingline Loan must be in integral multiples of $100,000 or the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans (or such other minimum amounts upon which the Swingline Lender and the Borrower may agree) and in connection with any such prepayment, the Borrower must give the Swingline Lender prior written notice thereof no later than 2:00 p.m. on the day prior to the date of such prepayment. Voluntary prepayments of any Swingline Loan shall not be subject to any penalty or premium (with the exception of any breakage fee associated therewith). The Swingline Loans shall, in addition to this Agreement, be evidenced by the Swingline Note.

(e) Repayment and Participations of Swingline Loans.

(i) The Borrower agrees to repay each Swingline Loan within three (3) Business Days of demand therefor by the Swingline Lender and, in any event, within seven (7) Business Days after the date such Swingline Loan was made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Swingline Loans on the Swingline Termination Date (or such earlier date as the Swingline Lender and the Borrower may agree in writing).

(ii) If (A), as of 10:00 a.m. on the sixth (6^th) Business Day following the funding of a particular Swingline Loan, Borrower has neither (1) repaid the Swingline Loan in full, notified the Swingline Lender in writing that Borrower intends to repay such Swingline Loan in full on the next Business Day, nor timely delivered a Notice of Borrowing requesting a proposed funding date no later than the seventh (7^th) Business Day after such Swingline funding date, with respect to a Revolving Loan in a principal amount sufficient to repay such Swingline Loan in full or (B), as of 11:00 a.m. on the seventh (7^th) Business Day following the funding of a particular Swingline Loan

Page 35

Borrower has not repaid such Swingline Loan in full or the conditions precedent to any requested Revolving Loan the proceeds of which were to have been used (in whole or in part) to repay such Swingline Loan have not been satisfied, or (C) at any time prior to the repayment of any Swingline Loan, an Event of Default shall exist or the Loan shall be accelerated, then, in lieu of demanding repayment of any outstanding Swingline Loan from the Borrower, the Swingline Lender may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), request a borrowing of Base Rate Loans from the Lenders in an amount equal to the principal balance of such Swingline Loan.

(iii) The limitations contained in Section 3.5(a) shall not apply to any borrowing of Base Rate Loans made pursuant to this subsection. The Swingline Lender shall give notice to the Administrative Agent of any such borrowing of Base Rate Loans not later than 11:00 a.m. at least one Business Day prior to the proposed date of such borrowing.

(iv) Each Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office for the account of the Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, the proceeds of the Base Rate Loan to be made by such Lender. The Administrative Agent shall pay the proceeds of such Base Rate Loans to the Swingline Lender, which shall apply such proceeds to repay such Swingline Loan.

(v) If the Lenders are prohibited from making Loans required to be made under this subsection for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation, the occurrence of any of the Defaults or Events of Default described in Sections 11.1(e) or 11.1(f), each Lender shall purchase from the Swingline Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swingline Loan, by directly purchasing a participation in such Swingline Loan in such amount and paying the proceeds thereof to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender in Dollars and in immediately available funds. A Lender’s obligation to purchase such a participation in a Swingline Loan shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including without limitation, (i) any claim of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or any other Person may have or claim against the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or any other Person whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuation of a Default or Event of Default (including without limitation, any of the Defaults or Events of Default described in Sections 11.1(e) or 11.1(f), or the termination of any Lender’s Commitment, (iii) the existence (or alleged existence) of an event or condition which has had or could have a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) any breach of any Loan Document by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. If such amount is not in fact made available to the Swingline Lender by any Lender, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon for each day from the date of demand thereof, at the Federal Funds Rate.

Page 36

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

Section 2.4 Bid Rate Loans.

(a) Bid Rate Loans. In addition to borrowings of Revolving Loans but subject to the limitations of Section 2.13, at any time during the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Termination Date, the Borrower may, as set forth in this Section, request the Lenders to make offers to make Bid Rate Loans to the Borrower in Dollars, in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to, but not exceeding, fifty percent (50%) of the then Commitments under the Loan (initially, such 50% amount is $137,500,000). The Lenders may, but shall have no obligation to, make such offers and the Borrower may, but shall have no obligation to, accept any such offers in the manner set forth in this Section.

(b) Requests for Bid Rate Loans. When the Borrower in its discretion wishes to request from the Lenders offers to make Bid Rate Loans, it shall give the Administrative Agent notice (a “Bid Rate Quote Request”) so as to be received no later than 9:00 a.m. on (x) the Business Day immediately preceding the date of borrowing proposed therein, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction and (y) the date four (4) Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a LIBOR Auction. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender a copy of each Bid Rate Quote Request promptly upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent. The Borrower may request offers to make Bid Rate Loans for up to three (3) different Interest Periods in each Bid Rate Quote Request (for which purpose Interest Periods in different lettered clauses of the definition of the term “Interest Period” shall be deemed to be different Interest Periods even if they are coterminous); provided that the request for each separate Interest Period shall be deemed to be separate borrowings (each a “Bid Rate Borrowing”). Each Bid Rate Quote Request shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit K-1 and shall specify as to each Bid Rate Borrowing all of the following:

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

(ii) the aggregate amount of such Bid Rate Borrowing which shall be in a minimum amount of $2,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof which shall not cause any of the limits specified in Section 2.13 to be violated;

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

Page 37

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

The Borrower shall not deliver more than one (1) Bid Rate Quote Request during any three (3) Business Day period, or more than four (4) Bid Rate Quote Requests during any calendar month.

(i) Each Lender may submit to the Administrative Agent one or more Bid Rate Quotes, each containing an offer to make a Bid Rate Loan in response to any Bid Rate Quote Request; provided that, if the Borrower’s request under Section 2.4(b) specified more than one Interest Period, such Lender may make a single submission containing only one Bid Rate Quote for each such Interest Period. Each Bid Rate Quote must be submitted to the Administrative Agent not later than 7:30 a.m. (x) on the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction and (y) on the date three Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a LIBOR Auction, and in either case the Administrative Agent shall disregard any Bid Rate Quote received after such time; provided that the Lender then acting as the Administrative Agent may submit a Bid Rate Quote only if it notifies the Borrower of the terms of the offer contained therein not later than thirty (30) minutes prior to the latest time by which the Lenders must submit applicable Bid Rate Quotes. Subject to Articles VI and XI, any Bid Rate Quote so made shall be irrevocable. Such Bid Rate Loans may be funded by a Lender’s Designated Lender (if any) as provided in Section 13.6(d); provided, such Lender shall not be required to specify in its Bid Rate Quote whether such Bid Rate Loan will be funded by such Designated Lender.

(ii) Each Bid Rate Quote made by a Lender shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit K-2 and shall specify:

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

(B) the principal amount of the Bid Rate Loan for which each such offer is being made; provided that the aggregate principal amount of all Bid Rate Loans for which a Lender submits Bid Rate Quotes (x) may be greater or less than the Commitment of such Lender but (y) shall not exceed the principal amount of the Bid Rate Borrowing for a particular Interest Period for which offers were requested;

(C) in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction, the rate of interest per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/1,000^th of 1%) offered for each such Absolute Rate Loan (the “Absolute Rate”);

(D) in the case of a LIBOR Auction, the margin above or below applicable LIBOR (the “LIBOR Margin”) offered for each such LIBOR Margin Loan, expressed as a percentage (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/1,000^th of 1%) to be added to (or subtracted from) the applicable LIBOR;

Page 38

(E) the identity of the quoting Lender; and

(F) any Bid Rate Quote shall be in a minimum amount of $2,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof.

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

(d) Notification by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall, as promptly as practicable after the Bid Rate Quotes are submitted (but in any event not later than 8:30 a.m. (x) on the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Margin and (y) on the date three Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a LIBOR Auction), notify the Borrower of the terms (i) of any Bid Rate Quote submitted by a Lender that is in accordance with Section 2.4(c) and (ii) of any Bid Rate Quote that amends, modifies or is otherwise inconsistent with a previous Bid Rate Quote submitted by such Lender with respect to the same Bid Rate Quote Request. Any such subsequent Bid Rate Quote shall be disregarded by the Administrative Agent unless such subsequent Bid Rate Quote is submitted solely to correct a manifest error in such former Bid Rate Quote. The Administrative Agent’s notice to the Borrower shall specify (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Bid Rate Borrowing for which offers have been received and (B) the principal amounts and Absolute Rates or LIBOR Margins, as applicable, so offered by each Lender.

(e) Acceptance by Borrower.

(i) Not later than 9:30 a.m. (x) on the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Margin and (y) on the date three Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of LIBOR Auction, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of its acceptance or nonacceptance of the offers so notified to it pursuant to Section 2.4(d) which notice shall be in the form of Exhibit K-3. In the case of acceptance, such notice shall specify the aggregate principal amount of offers for each Interest Period that are accepted. The failure of the Borrower to give such notice by such time shall constitute nonacceptance of the relevant Bid Rate Quote. The Borrower may accept any Bid Rate Quote in whole or in part; provided, that:

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

(B) the aggregate principal amount of each Bid Rate Borrowing shall comply with the provisions of Section 2.4(b)(ii) but shall not cause the limits specified in Section 2.13 to be violated;

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

Page 39

(D) any acceptance in part by the Borrower shall be in a minimum amount of $2,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof; and

(E) the Borrower may not accept any offer that fails to comply with Section 2.4(c) or otherwise fails to comply with the requirements of this Agreement.

(ii) If offers are made by two or more Lenders with the same Absolute Rates or LIBOR Margins, as applicable, for a greater aggregate principal amount than the amount in respect of which offers are accepted for the related Interest Period, the principal amount of Bid Rate Loans in respect of which such offers are accepted shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among such Lenders in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of such offers without regard to the provisions of subsection (e)(i)(D) above. Determinations by the Administrative Agent of the amounts of Bid Rate Loans shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(f) Obligation to Make Bid Rate Loans. The Administrative Agent shall promptly (and in any event not later than (x) 10:00 a.m. on the proposed date of borrowing of Absolute Rate Loans and (y) on the date three Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing of LIBOR Margin Loans) notify each Lender that submitted a Bid Rate Quote as to whose Bid Rate Quote has been accepted and the amount and rate thereof. A Lender who is notified that it has been selected to make a Bid Rate Loan may designate its Designated Lender (if any) to fund such Bid Rate Loan on its behalf, as described in Section 13.6(d). Any Designated Lender which funds a Bid Rate Loan shall on and after the time of such funding become the obligee under such Bid Rate Loan and be entitled to receive payment thereof when due. No Lender shall be relieved of its obligation to fund a Bid Rate Loan, and no Designated Lender shall assume such obligation, prior to the time the applicable Bid Rate Loan is funded. Any Lender whose offer to make any Bid Rate Loan has been accepted shall, not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date specified for the making of such Loan, make the amount of such Loan available to the Administrative Agent at its Principal Office in immediately available funds, for the account of the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, make the amount so received available to the Borrower not later than 12:00 noon on such date by depositing the same, in immediately available funds, in an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower.

(g) No Effect on Commitment. Except for the purpose and to the extent expressly stated in Section 2.14, the amount of any Bid Rate Loan made by any Lender shall not constitute a utilization of such Lender’s Commitment.

Section 2.5 Rates and Payment of Interest on Loans.

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

Page 40

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

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

(iii) during such periods as such Loan is a Swingline Loan, at the Base Rate (as in effect from time to time) or such other rate as Borrower and Swingline Lender may agree from time to time in writing for such Swingline Loan; and

(iv) during such periods as such Loan is a Bid Rate Loan, (A) at the Absolute Rate (as in effect from time to time), in the case of each such Bid Rate Loan which is an Absolute Rate Loan, and (B) at LIBOR for such Bid Rate Loan for the Interest Period therefor, plus the applicable LIBOR Margin, in the case of each such Bid Rate Loan which is a LIBOR Margin Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender interest at the Post-Default Rate on the outstanding principal amount of any Loan made by such Lender, on all Reimbursement Obligations and on any other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes held by such Lender to or for the account of such Lender (including without limitation, accrued but unpaid interest to the extent permitted under Applicable Law).

(b) Payment of Interest. All accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal amount of each Loan shall be payable (i) monthly in arrears on the first day of each month, commencing with the first full calendar month occurring after the Effective Date and (ii) on any date on which the principal balance of such Loan is due and payable in full (whether at maturity, due to acceleration or otherwise). Interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand. All determinations by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on the Lenders and the Borrower for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Section 2.6 Number of Interest Periods.

There may be no more than eight (8) different Interest Periods outstanding at the same time, whether in the context of a LIBOR Loan which is a Revolving Loan or a LIBOR Loan which is a Bid Rate Loan.

Section 2.7 Repayment of Loans.

The Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Revolving Loans on the Termination Date and the Bid Rate Loans on their respective applicable due dates.

Section 2.8 Prepayments.

(a) Optional. Subject to Sections 3.5 and 5.4, the Borrower may prepay any Loan at any time without premium or penalty. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at least

Page 41

three (3) Business Days prior written notice of the prepayment of any LIBOR Loan and at least one (1) Business Day prior written notice of the prepayment of any Base Rate Loan, and Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Lenders thereafter.

(b) Mandatory.

(i) Commitment Overadvance. If at any time the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, exceeds the Total Commitment Amount, the Borrower shall immediately upon demand pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, the amount of such excess.

(ii) Pool Overadvance. If at any time the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, exceeds the Maximum Availability, the Borrower shall within five (5) days of the Borrower obtaining knowledge of the occurrence of any such excess, deliver to the Administrative Agent for prompt distribution to each Lender a written plan acceptable to all of the Lenders to eliminate such excess. If such excess is not eliminated within fifteen (15) days of the Borrower obtaining knowledge of the occurrence thereof, then the entire outstanding principal balance of all Loans, together with all accrued interest thereon, and an amount equal to all Letter of Credit Liabilities for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, shall be immediately due and payable in full.

(iii) Bid Loan Overadvance. If at any time the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Bid Rate Borrowings exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the then Commitments under the Loan, the Borrower shall immediately upon demand pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, the amount of such excess.

All payments under this subsection (b) shall be applied to pay all amounts of excess principal outstanding on the applicable Loans and any applicable Reimbursement Obligations in accordance with Section 3.2, and the remainder, if any, shall be deposited into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account for application to any Reimbursement Obligations as and when due.

Section 2.9 Continuation.

So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, the Borrower may on any Business Day, with respect to any LIBOR Loan, elect to maintain such LIBOR Loan or any portion thereof as a LIBOR Loan by selecting a new Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan. Each new Interest Period selected under this Section shall commence on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period. Each selection of a new Interest Period shall be made by the Borrower giving to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Continuation not later than 9:00 a.m. on the third Business Day prior to the date of any such Continuation. Such notice by the Borrower of a Continuation shall be by telephone or telecopy, confirmed immediately in writing if by telephone, in the form of a Notice of Continuation, specifying (a) the proposed date of such Continuation, (b) the LIBOR Loan and portion thereof subject to such Continuation and (c) the duration of the selected Interest Period, all of which shall be specified in such manner as is necessary to comply with all

Page 42

limitations on Loans outstanding hereunder. Each Notice of Continuation shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrower once given. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender by telex or telecopy, or other similar form of transmission of the proposed Continuation. If the Borrower shall fail to select in a timely manner a new Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan in accordance with this Section, such Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Loan notwithstanding failure of the Borrower to comply with Section 2.10.

Section 2.10 Conversion.

So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, the Borrower may on any Business Day, upon the Borrower’s giving of a Notice of Conversion to the Administrative Agent, Convert all or a portion of a Loan of one Type into a Loan of another Type. Any Conversion of a LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan and, upon Conversion of a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan, the Borrower shall pay accrued interest to the date of Conversion on the principal amount so Converted. Each such Notice of Conversion shall be given not later than 9:00 a.m. on the Business Day prior to the date of any proposed Conversion into Base Rate Loans and on the third Business Day prior to the date of any proposed Conversion into LIBOR Loans. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender by telex or telecopy, or other similar form of transmission of the proposed Conversion. Subject to the restrictions specified above, each Notice of Conversion shall be by telephone (confirmed immediately in writing) or telecopy in the form of a Notice of Conversion specifying (a) the requested date of such Conversion, (b) the Type of Loan to be Converted, (c) the portion of such Type of Loan to be Converted, (d) the Type of Loan such Loan is to be Converted into and (e) if such Conversion is into a LIBOR Loan, the requested duration of the Interest Period of such Loan. Each Notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrower once given.

Section 2.11 Notes.

The Revolving Loans made by each Lender shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 (each a “Revolving Note”), payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount equal to the amount of its Commitment as originally in effect and otherwise duly completed. The Bid Rate Loans made by any Lender to the Borrower shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced by a Bid Rate Note payable to the order of such Lender substantially in the form of Exhibit G-3. The Swingline Loans made by the Swingline Lender to the Borrower shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced by a Swingline Note payable to the order of the Swingline Lender substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2.

Section 2.12 Expiration or Termination Date of Letters of Credit Past Termination Date.

If on the date the Commitments are terminated (whether voluntarily, by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default or otherwise), there are any Letters of Credit outstanding hereunder, the Borrower shall, on such date, pay to the Administrative Agent an amount of money equal to the Stated Amount of such Letter(s) of Credit for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account. If a drawing pursuant to any such Letter of Credit occurs on or prior to the

Page 43

expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower authorizes the Administrative Agent to use the monies deposited in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to make payment to the beneficiary with respect to such drawing or the payee with respect to such presentment. If no drawing occurs on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall pay to the Borrower (or to whomever else may be legally entitled thereto) the monies deposited in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account (together with any accrued interest thereon) with respect to such outstanding Letter of Credit on or before the date thirty (30) days after the expiration date of such Letter of Credit.

Section 2.13 Amount Limitations.

Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (a) no Lender shall be required to make any Loan, and the Administrative Agent shall not be required to issue any Letter of Credit or make any Swingline Loan if, immediately after the making of such Loan (including Swingline Loans) or issuance of such Letter of Credit the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans (including Swingline Loans), together with the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, would exceed either (i) the Total Commitment Amount or (ii) the Maximum Availability and (b) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Bid Rate Loans shall not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the then Commitments under the Loan.

Section 2.14 Optional Increase to the Commitment.

(a) Provided that no Event of Default or Default then exists, Borrower may, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.14 and on no more than three (3) occasions prior to January 17, 2008, request in writing that the then Total Commitment Amount be increased up to $400,000,000, provided, however, that no such request shall be for an increase amount less than $20,000,000. Any request under this Section shall be submitted by Borrower to the Lenders through Administrative Agent not less than thirty (30) days prior to the proposed increase, specify the proposed effective date and amount of such increase and be accompanied by (i) an Officer’s Certificate of Borrower stating that no Event of Default or Default exists as of the date of the request or will result from the requested increase, (ii) a written consent to the increase in the amount of the Commitments executed by each Guarantor and (iii) the satisfaction of all conditions precedent specified in Article VI. Borrower may also specify any fees offered to those Lenders which agree to an increase in the amount of their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Total Commitment Amount (which fees may be variable based upon the amount which any such Lender is willing to assume as an increase to the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the increased Commitments). The consent of the Lenders, as such, shall not be required for an increase in the amount of the Total Commitment Amount pursuant to this Section 2.14; provided that the increase of any specific Lender’s Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.14 (or any other section hereof) shall be subject to such Lender’s written consent.

(b) Each Lender may approve or reject a request for an increase in the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the Total Commitment Amount in its sole and absolute discretion and, absent an affirmative written response within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such request, shall be deemed to have rejected the request. The rejection of such a request by any number of Lenders shall not affect Borrower’s right to increase the Total Commitment Amount pursuant to this

Page 44

Section as a result of, and with respect to the Pro Rata Shares of, those Lenders that approve such increase and such additional Lenders that join this Agreement in accordance with subsection (e) of this Section 2.14. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, no Lender which rejects a request for an increase in the Total Commitment Amount shall be (i) subject to removal as a Lender, (ii) obligated to lend any amount greater than its original Pro Rata Share of the original Total Commitment Amount, or (iii) deemed to be in default in any respect hereunder.

(c) In responding to a request under this Section, each Lender which is willing to increase the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the increased Total Commitment Amount shall specify the amount of the proposed increase which it is willing to assume. Each consenting Lender shall be entitled to participate ratably (based on its Pro Rata Share of the Commitment before such increase) in any resulting increase in the Commitment, subject to the right of Administrative Agent to adjust allocations of the increased Commitment so as to result in the amounts of the Pro Rata Shares of the Lenders being in integral multiples of $1,000,000.

(d) If the aggregate principal amount offered to be assumed by the consenting Lenders is less than the amount requested, Borrower in its sole discretion may (i) reject the proposed increase in its entirety, (ii) accept the offered amounts or (iii) designate new lenders who qualify as Eligible Assignees under Section 13.6 and which are reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent as additional Lenders hereunder in accordance with clause (e) of this Section (each, a “New Lender”), which New Lenders may assume the amount of the increase in the Commitment that has not been assumed by the consenting Lenders.

(e) Each New Lender designated by Borrower and reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent shall become an additional party hereto as a New Lender concurrently with the effectiveness of the proposed increase in the Commitment upon its execution of an instrument of joinder to this Agreement which is in form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent and which, in any event, contains the representations, warranties, indemnities and other protections afforded to Administrative Agent and the other Lenders which would be granted or made by an eligible assignee under Section 13.6 by means of the execution of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement.

(f) Subject to the foregoing, any increase to the Commitment requested under this Section shall be effective as of the date proposed by Borrower and shall be in the principal amount equal to (i) the amount which consenting Lenders are willing to assume as increases to the amount of their respective Pro Rata Shares plus (ii) the amount offered by any New Lenders. Upon the effectiveness of any such increase, Borrower shall execute replacement Notes to each affected Lender and new Notes to each New Lender, and the Pro Rata Share of each Lender will be adjusted, higher or lower as needed, to give effect to the increase in the Commitment and set forth in a new Schedule 1.1(A) issued by Administrative Agent. On or prior to such effective date and as applicable, certain of the Lenders shall purchase, and certain of the Lenders shall sell, to one another, the percentage interest in the Commitment as necessary in order to reallocate the principal balance under the Notes among the Lenders to correspond to the Pro Rata Shares of the Lenders set forth in the new Schedule 1.1(A) referred to above, and Borrower shall be obligated to pay any breakage costs associated therewith.

Section 2.15 Extension of the Termination Date.

The Borrower in its sole discretion may request that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders extend the current Termination Date by one year by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent at least ninety (90) days prior to the current Termination Date, a written request for such extension. The Administrative Agent shall forward to each Lender a copy of any such request delivered to the Administrative Agent promptly upon receipt thereof. Subject to satisfaction of the following conditions, the Termination Date shall be extended for one year: (a) immediately prior to such extension and immediately after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (b) the Borrower shall have paid the Fees payable under Section 3.6(b) upon exercise of the extension option set forth in this Section 2.15, and (c) all representations and warranties made or deemed made by any Loan Party in any Loan Document to which any such Loan Party is a party are true and correct on the effective date of such extension (except for representations or warranties which expressly relate solely to an earlier date).

Page 46

of their respective Commitments; (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of Revolving Loans by the Borrower shall be made for the account of each Lender pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Revolving Loans held by them, provided that if immediately prior to giving effect to any such payment in respect of any Revolving Loans the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans shall not be held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments in effect at the time such Loans were made, then such payment shall be applied to the Revolving Loans in such manner as shall result, as nearly as is practicable, in the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans being held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments; (c) each payment of interest on Revolving Loans by the Borrower shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders; (d) the Conversion and Continuation of Revolving Loans of a particular Type (other than Conversions provided for by Section 5.5) shall be made pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments (in the case of making of Loans) or their respective Loans (in the case of Conversions or Continuations of Loans) and the then current Interest Period for each Lender’s portion of each Revolving Loan of such Type shall be coterminous; (e) each payment or prepayment of principal and/or interest of Bid Rate Loans by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.8(b) shall be made for account of each Lender then owed Bid Rate Loans pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Bid Rate Loans then owing to each such Lender; (f) the Lenders’ participation in, and payment obligations in respect of, Swingline Loans under Section 2.3, shall be in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares; and (g) the Lenders’ participation in, and payment obligations in respect of, Letters of Credit under Section 2.2 and with respect to the funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, shall be pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments.

Section 3.3 Sharing of Payments, Setoff, Etc.

The Borrower agrees that, in addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Participant is hereby authorized by the Borrower, at any time or from time to time so long as but only so long as an Event of Default exists to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or any affiliate of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of any of the Obligations, irrespective of whether or not any or all of the Loans and all other Obligations have been declared to be, or have otherwise become, due and payable as permitted by Section 11.2, and although such obligations shall be contingent or unmatured. The foregoing rights may be exercised without prior notice to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived (provided that Administrative Agent shall give after-the-fact notice to Borrower), but in the case of a Lender or a Participant shall be subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent exercised in its sole discretion. If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan made by it to Borrower under this Agreement or shall obtain payment on any other Obligation owing

Page 47

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

Section 3.4 Several Obligations.

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

(b) Extension Fee. If, pursuant to Section 2.15, the Borrower exercises its right to extend the Termination Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender an extension fee equal to one hundred seventy-five thousandths of one percent (0.175%) of the amount of each Lender’s Commitment. Such fees shall be paid to the Administrative Agent upon, and as a condition to, Borrower’s exercise of such extension.

(c) Bid Rate Loan Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such fees for services rendered by the Administrative Agent in connection with the Bid Rate Loans as are set forth in the Fee Letter or as shall be separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(d) Facility Fees. During the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Termination Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders a facility fee per annum equal to the percentage of the Total Commitment Amount set forth in the table below corresponding to the applicable Level at which the “Applicable Margin” is determined in accordance with the definition thereof, as of the applicable date of determination:


Level		Facility Fee
1		0.125%

(e) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders a letter of credit fee in respect of each outstanding Letter of Credit at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans from time to time in effect multiplied by the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit or (ii) $1,000. Such letter of credit fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears (for the respective number of days outstanding) on the first day of each January, April, July and October during the term of such Letter of Credit, provided that the full amount of such fee shall be immediately due and payable upon any early termination of a Letter of Credit. The Borrower shall pay directly to the Administrative Agent a fronting fee for its account with respect to each Letter of Credit issued, together with from time to time on demand all commissions, charges, costs and expenses in the amounts customarily charged by the Administrative Agent from time to time in like circumstances with respect to the issuance of each Letter of Credit, drawings, amendments and other transactions relating thereto.

Section 3.8 Usury.

In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable on the Loans or other Obligations exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law and, if any such payment is paid by the Borrower or received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless the Borrower shall notify the respective Lender in writing that the Borrower elects to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Borrower not pay and the Lenders not receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by the Borrower under Applicable Law.

Section 3.9 Agreement Regarding Interest and Charges.

The parties hereto hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon the Borrower for the use of money in connection with this Agreement is and shall be the interest specifically described in Section 2.5(a)(i) through (iv).

All charges other than charges for the use of money shall be fully earned and nonrefundable when due.

Section 3.10 Statements of Account.

The Administrative Agent shall, within fifteen (15) days after the end of each calendar month, account to the Borrower monthly with a written statement of Loans, accrued interest and Fees, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such account rendered by the Administrative Agent shall be deemed conclusive upon Borrower absent manifest error. The Administrative Agent will account to the Borrower on changes in Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.2(k). The failure of the Administrative Agent to deliver such a statement of accounts shall not relieve or discharge the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 3.11 Defaulting Lenders.

If for any reason any Lender (a “Defaulting Lender”) shall fail or refuse to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party within the time period specified for performance of such obligation or, if no time period is specified, if

Page 50

such failure or refusal continues for a period of two Business Days after notice from the Administrative Agent, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the Administrative Agent or the Borrower under this Agreement or Applicable Law, such Defaulting Lender’s right to participate in the administration of the Loans, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation, any right to vote in respect of, to consent to or to direct any action or inaction of the Administrative Agent or to be taken into account in the calculation of the Requisite Lenders, shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal. If a Lender is a Defaulting Lender because it has failed to make timely payment to the Administrative Agent of any amount required to be paid to the Administrative Agent hereunder (without giving effect to any notice or cure periods), in addition to other rights and remedies which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have under the immediately preceding provisions or otherwise, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled (i) to collect interest from such Defaulting Lender on such delinquent payment for the period from the date on which the payment was due until the date on which the payment is made at the Federal Funds Rate, (ii) to withhold or setoff and to apply in satisfaction of the defaulted payment and any related interest, any amounts otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (iii) to bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest. Any amounts received by the Administrative Agent in respect of a Defaulting Lender’s Loans shall not be paid to such Defaulting Lender and shall be held uninvested by the Administrative Agent and paid to such Defaulting Lender upon the Defaulting Lender’s curing of its default.

Section 3.12 Taxes.

(a) Taxes Generally. All payments by the Borrower of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and all other Obligations shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future excise, stamp or other taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts, charges, deductions, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding (i) franchise taxes, (ii) any taxes (other than withholding taxes) that would not be imposed but for a connection between the Administrative Agent or a Lender (which for purposes of the exclusions in clauses (i)-(iv) of this Section 3.12(a), includes any Participant) and the jurisdiction imposing such taxes (other than a connection arising solely by virtue of the activities of the Administrative Agent or such Lender pursuant to or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document), (iii) any taxes imposed on or measured by any Lender’s assets, net income, receipts or branch profits and (iv) any taxes arising after the Agreement Date solely as a result of or attributable to a Lender changing its designated Lending Office after the date such Lender becomes a party hereto or transferring any interest in any Loan to the extent such Lender would not have been liable for such taxes (such non-excluded items being collectively called “Taxes”). If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any Applicable Law, then the Borrower will:

(i) pay directly to the relevant Governmental Authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;

Page 51

(ii) promptly forward to the Administrative Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Administrative Agent evidencing such payment to such Governmental Authority; and

(iii) pay to the Administrative Agent for its account or the account of the applicable Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender will equal the full amount that the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

(b) Tax Indemnification. If the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent, for its account or the account of the respective Lender, as the case may be, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. For purposes of this Section, a distribution hereunder by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to or for the account of any Lender shall be deemed a payment by the Borrower.

(c) Tax Forms. Prior to the date that any Lender or Participant organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States of America becomes a party hereto, such Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the Internal Revenue Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto (including Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI and W-8BEN, as applicable, or appropriate successor forms), properly completed, currently effective and duly executed by such Lender or Participant establishing that payments to it hereunder and under the Notes are (i) not subject to United States Federal backup withholding tax and (ii) not subject to United States Federal withholding tax under the Code. Each such Lender or Participant shall (x) deliver further copies of such forms or other appropriate certifications on or before the date that any such forms expire or become obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form delivered to the Borrower and (y) obtain such extensions of the time for filing, and renew such forms and certifications thereof as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. The Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount pursuant to last sentence of subsection (a) above to any Lender or Participant that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America or the Administrative Agent, if it is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America, if such Lender, Participant or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, fails to comply with the requirements of this subsection. If any such Lender or Participant fails to deliver the above forms or other documentation, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from such payment to such Lender such amounts as are required by the Internal Revenue Code. If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this Section, and costs and expenses (including all fees and disbursements of any law firm or other external counsel and the allocated cost of internal legal services and all disbursements of internal counsel) of the Administrative Agent. The obligation of the Lenders

Page 52

and Participants under this Section shall survive the termination of the Commitments, repayment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent.

ARTICLE IV POOL ASSETS

Section 4.1 Inclusion of Pool Assets.

(a) Existing Pool Assets. Subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of Section 6.1(a), as of the Effective Date, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Properties listed on Schedule 4.1 are the Pool Assets.

(b) Additional Pool Assets. After the Effective Date, if Borrower intends to designate an Eligible Pool Asset to be included as a Pool Asset from time to time, it will notify the Administrative Agent of such intention, which notice will include, with respect to such Eligible Pool Asset, (i) a Pool Certificate setting forth the information required to be contained therein and which includes such new Eligible Pool Asset as a Pool Asset, (ii) such other information as the Administrative Agent or any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) may reasonably request in connection with the evaluation of such Eligible Pool Asset. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such certificate and such other information, such Eligible Pool Asset shall be included as a Pool Asset. Any Property or other asset that does not satisfy the requirements of an Eligible Pool Asset shall be included as a Pool Asset only upon the written approval of the Requisite Lenders. If a Property that is to become a Pool Asset is owned (or is being acquired) by a Subsidiary of the Borrower that is not yet a party to the Guaranty then, to the extent required pursuant to Section 8.14, such Property shall not become a Pool Asset unless and until an Accession Agreement executed by such Subsidiary and all other items required to be delivered under Section 8.14, have all been delivered to the Administrative Agent.

Section 4.2 Termination of Designation as Pool Asset.

If Borrower at any time intends to withdraw or otherwise affirmatively causes to be ineligible any Eligible Pool Asset from inclusion as a Pool Asset, it shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of its intention, and (b) deliver to the Administrative Agent a Pool Certificate setting forth the calculations establishing that Borrower will be in compliance with Section 2.13 with giving effect to such withdrawal (and any concurrent addition of Eligible Pool Assets as Pool Assets), which calculations shall be in such detail, and otherwise in such form and substance, as Administrative Agent reasonably requires. Effective automatically upon receipt of such notice and certificate by Administrative Agent (or upon any later date stated in such notice), such Eligible Pool Asset shall no longer constitute a Pool Asset. Additionally, any Property or other asset previously included as a Pool Asset but which is not included in a Pool Certificate subsequently submitted pursuant to this Agreement shall no longer be included as a Pool Asset (effective as of the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent of such Pool Certificate and until such time, if ever, as Borrower re-designates such Property or asset as a Pool Asset in accordance with Section 4.1(b)) so long as no Default or Event of Default exists or would exist immediately after such Property or asset is no longer included as a Pool Asset.

Page 53

Section 4.3 Ineligibility of a Property as Pool Asset.

If a Property or other asset at any time ceases to be an Eligible Pool Asset, such Property or asset shall automatically no longer constitute a Pool Asset, and Borrower shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent, and (b) deliver to the Administrative Agent a Pool Certificate setting forth the calculations establishing that Borrower will be in compliance with Section 2.13 with giving effect to the termination of such Property or other asset as a Pool Asset, which calculations shall be in such detail, and otherwise in such form and substance, as Administrative Agent reasonably requires.

ARTICLE V YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.

Section 5.1 Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a) Additional Costs. The Borrower shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may reasonably determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender that it reasonably determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make any LIBOR Loans hereunder, any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender of capital in respect of its Loans or its Commitment (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any Regulatory Change that: (i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such Loans or its Commitment (other than taxes imposed on or measured by the overall net income of such Lender or of its Lending Office for any of such Loans by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal office or such Lending Office); or (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (including without limitation, Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other similar reserve requirement applicable to any other category of liabilities or category of extensions of credit or other assets by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by such Lender (or its parent corporation), or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitment of such Lender hereunder); or (iii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy).

(b) Lender’s Suspension of LIBOR Loans. Without limiting the effect of the provisions of the immediately preceding subsection (a), if by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes LIBOR Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the

Page 54

Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue, or to Convert any other Type of Loans into, LIBOR Loans hereunder shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5 shall apply).

(c) Additional Costs in Respect of Letters of Credit. Without limiting the obligations of the Borrower under the preceding subsections of this Section (but without duplication), if as a result of any Regulatory Change or any risk-based capital guideline or other requirement heretofore or hereafter issued by any Governmental Authority there shall be imposed, modified or deemed applicable any tax, reserve, special deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against or with respect to or measured by reference to Letters of Credit and the result shall be to increase the cost to the Administrative Agent of issuing (or any Lender of purchasing participations in) or maintaining its obligation hereunder to issue (or purchase participations in) any Letter of Credit or reduce any amount receivable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit, then, upon demand by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, the Borrower shall pay immediately to the Administrative Agent for its account or the account of such Lender, as applicable, from time to time as specified by the Administrative Agent or a Lender, such additional amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate the Administrative Agent or such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amount.

(d) Notification and Determination of Additional Costs. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the Agreement Date entitling the Administrative Agent or such Lender to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable; provided, however, the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give such notice shall not release the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder. The Administrative Agent or such Lender agrees to furnish to the Borrower (and in the case of a Lender to the Administrative Agent, as well) a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request by the Administrative Agent or such Lender for compensation under this Section. Determinations by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

Section 5.2 Suspension of LIBOR Loans.

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

(a) the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error) that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for LIBOR Loans as provided herein or is otherwise unable to determine LIBOR, or

(b) the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error) that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of LIBOR upon the basis of which the rate of interest for LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period is

Page 55

to be determined are not likely to adequately cover the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period; or

(c) any Lender that has outstanding a Bid Rate Quote with respect to a LIBOR Margin Loan reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error) that LIBOR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining such LIBOR Margin Loan,

then the Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, (i) the Lenders shall be under no obligation to, and shall not, make additional LIBOR Loans, Continue LIBOR Loans or Convert Loans into LIBOR Loans and the Borrower shall, on the last day of each current Interest Period for each outstanding LIBOR Loan, either repay such Loan or Convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan and (ii) in the case of clause (c) above, no Lender that has outstanding a Bid Rate Quote with respect to a LIBOR Margin Loan shall be under any obligation to make such Loan.

Section 5.3 Illegality.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if it becomes unlawful for any Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5 shall be applicable).

Section 5.4 Compensation.

The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of such Lender through the Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense that such Lender reasonably determines is attributable to:

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

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

Not in limitation of the foregoing, such compensation shall include, without limitation; (i) in the case of a LIBOR Loan, an amount equal to the then present value of (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on such LIBOR Loan for the remainder of the Interest Period at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loan, less (B) the amount of interest that would accrue on the same LIBOR Loan for the same period if LIBOR were set on the date on which such LIBOR Loan was

Page 56

repaid, prepaid or Converted or the date on which the Borrower failed to borrow, Convert or Continue such LIBOR Loan, as applicable, calculating present value by using as a discount rate LIBOR quoted on such date and (ii) in the case of a Bid Rate Loan, the sum of such losses and expenses as the Lender or Designated Lender who made such Bid Rate Loan may reasonably incur by reason of such prepayment, including without limitation any losses or expenses incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties. Upon Borrower’s request (made through the Administrative Agent), any Lender seeking compensation under this Section shall provide the Borrower with a statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof. Any such statement shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 5.5 Treatment of Affected Loans.

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

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

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

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

Section 5.6 Change of Lending Office.

Each Lender agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate an alternate Lending Office with respect to any of its Loans affected by the matters or circumstances described in Sections 3.12, 5.1 or 5.3 to reduce the liability of the Borrower or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender as determined by such Lender

Page 57

in its sole discretion, except that such Lender shall have no obligation to designate a Lending Office located in the United States of America.

Section 5.7 Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Loans.

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

Page 85

the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents shall become immediately and automatically due and payable by the Borrower without presentment, demand, protest, or other notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Borrower and (B) the Commitments and the obligation of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder, and the obligation of the Administrative Agent to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, shall immediately and automatically terminate.

(ii) Optional. If any other Event of Default shall exist, the Administrative Agent shall, at the direction of the Requisite Lenders: (A) declare (1) the principal of, and accrued interest on, the Loans and the Notes at the time outstanding, (2) an amount equal to the Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default and (3) all of the other Obligations, including, but not limited to, the other amounts owed to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Borrower and (B) terminate the Commitments and the obligation of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation of the Administrative Agent to issue Letters of Credit hereunder.

(iii) Rescission of Acceleration by Requisite Lenders. If at any time after acceleration of the maturity of the Loans and the other Obligations, the Borrower shall pay all arrears of interest and all payments on account of principal of the Obligations which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on principal and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, on overdue interest, at the rates specified in this Agreement) and all Events of Default and Defaults (other than nonpayment of principal of and accrued interest on the Obligations due and payable solely by virtue of acceleration) shall become remedied or waived to the satisfaction of the Requisite Lenders, then by written notice to the Borrower, the Requisite Lenders may elect, in the sole discretion of such Requisite Lenders, to rescind and annul the acceleration and its consequences. The provisions of the preceding sentence are intended merely to bind all of the Lenders to a decision which may be made at the election of the Requisite Lenders, and are not intended to benefit the Borrower and do not give the Borrower the right to require the Lenders to rescind or annul any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are satisfied

Section 11.3 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Loan Party or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Loan Party makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent and/or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent and/or any Lender enforce their security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligations or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

Section 11.4 Allocation of Proceeds.

If an Event of Default exists and maturity of any of the Obligations has been accelerated, all payments received by the Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, in respect of any principal of or interest on the Obligations or any other amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder or thereunder, shall be applied in the following order and priority:

(a) amounts due to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in respect of Fees and expenses due under Section 13.2;

(b) payments of interest on Loans, to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Lenders;

(d) amounts due to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Sections 12.7 and 13.10;

(e) payments of all other amounts due under any of the Loan Documents, if any, to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Lenders; and

(f) any amount remaining after application as provided above, shall be paid to the Borrower or whomever else may be legally entitled thereto.

Section 11.5 Letter of Credit Collateral Account.

(a) As collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, the Borrower hereby pledges and grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as provided herein, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to the Letter of Credit Collateral Account established pursuant to the requirements of Section 2.12, and the balances from time to time in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account (including the investments and reinvestments therein provided for below). The balances from time to time in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall not constitute payment of any Letter of Credit Liabilities until applied by the Administrative Agent

Page 87

as provided herein. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall be subject to withdrawal only as provided in this Section and in Section 2.12.

(b) Amounts on deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall be invested and reinvested by the Administrative Agent in such cash equivalents as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion. All such investments and reinvestments shall be held in the name of and be under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, provided, that all earnings on such investments will be credited to and retained in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account for the account of Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and shall be deemed to have exercised such care if such funds are accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Administrative Agent accords other funds deposited with the Administrative Agent, it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account.

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

(d) So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent shall, from time to time, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, such of the balances in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account as exceed the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities at such time. When all of the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and no Letters of Credit remain outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, the balances remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account.

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

Section 11.6 Performance by Administrative Agent.

If the Borrower shall fail to perform any covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent may perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of the Borrower after the expiration of any cure or grace periods set forth herein. In such event, the Borrower shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent, promptly reimburse the Administrative Agent the duly documented, out-of-pocket costs of third parties engaged by the Administrative Agent in such performance or attempted performance to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the

Page 88

Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability or responsibility whatsoever for the performance of any obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 11.7 Rights Cumulative.

The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any of them may otherwise have under Applicable Law. In exercising their respective rights and remedies the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may be selective and no failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of it, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude its other or further exercise or the exercise of any other power or right.

ARTICLE XII THE AGENT

Section 12.1 Authorization and Action.

Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Administrative Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms “Administrative Agent”, “Agent”, “agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, at the request of a Lender, the Administrative Agent will forward to such Lender copies or, where appropriate, originals of the documents delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender, promptly upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, one original of each Note made payable to the order of such Lender and copies of each of the financial statements, certificates, notices and other documents delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article IX; provided such delivered documents shall not be deemed to include any documents obtained by the Administrative Agent from the internet pursuant to Sections 9.1, 9.2 or 9.4.(b). The Administrative Agent will also furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy of any certificate or notice furnished to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, any Loan Party or any other Affiliate of the Borrower,

Page 89

pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the Obligations), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless the Requisite Lenders have directed the Administrative Agent otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or where applicable, all the Lenders.

Section 12.2 Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein or therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for the Borrower or any other Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it with reasonable care and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel: (a) makes any warranty or representation to any Lender or any other Person and shall be responsible to any Lender or any other Person for any statement, warranty or representation made or deemed made by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) shall have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of the Borrower or other Persons or inspect the property, books or records of the Borrower or any other Person; (c) shall be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or any Collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders in any such Collateral; (d) shall have any liability in respect of any recitals, statements, certifications, representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan Documents or any other document, instrument, agreement, certificate or statement delivered in connection therewith; and (e) shall incur any liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by

Page 90

acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects with reasonable care in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 12.3 Notice of Defaults.

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

Section 12.4 Xxxxx Fargo as Lender.

Xxxxx Fargo, as a “Lender”, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other Loan Document as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Xxxxx Fargo in each case in its individual capacity. Xxxxx Fargo and its affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the other Lenders. Further, the Administrative Agent and any affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the other Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Xxxxx Fargo or its affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower, other Loan Parties, other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.

Section 12.5 Approvals of Lenders.

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

Page 91

of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (d) shall include the Administrative Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof. Each Lender shall reply promptly, but in any event within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such communication (or such lesser period as may be required under the Loan Documents for the Administrative Agent to respond). Unless a Lender shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent that it specifically objects to the recommendation or determination of the Administrative Agent (together with a written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within the applicable time period for reply, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination.

Section 12.6 Lender Credit Decision, Etc.

Each Lender expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, attorneys-in-fact or other affiliates has made any representations or warranties as to the financial condition, operations, creditworthiness, solvency or other information concerning the business or affairs of the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any Subsidiary or any other Person to such Lender and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on the financial statements of the Borrower, the Subsidiaries or any other Affiliate thereof, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Borrower, the Loan Parties, the Subsidiaries and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transaction contemplated hereby. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or other Affiliates. Each Lender acknowledges that the Administrative Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Administrative Agent and is not acting as counsel to such Lender.

Page 92

Section 12.7 Indemnification of Administrative Agent.

Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent but not as a “Lender”) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or if the Administrative Agent fails to follow the written direction of the Requisite Lenders unless such failure is pursuant to the advice of counsel of which the Lenders have received notice. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees of the counsel(s) of the Administrative Agent’s own choosing) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit or action brought by the Administrative Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect any Obligations, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower. Such out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Administrative Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Administrative Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Administrative Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 12.8 Successor Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. In the event (a) of Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or (b) Administrative Agent, at any time, ceases to maintain a Pro Rata Share equal to or greater than the Pro Rata Share of each other Lender, the Administrative Agent may be removed as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents at any time by Requisite Lenders (other than the Administrative Agent as a “Lender”) upon thirty (30) day’s prior notice. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Requisite Lenders (which, in the case of the removal of the Administrative Agent as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, shall be determined without regard to the Commitment of the Lender then acting as Administrative Agent) shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall, provided no Default or Event of Default exists,

Page 93

be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (except that the Borrower shall, in all events, be deemed to have approved each Lender as a successor Administrative Agent). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the resigning Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Lenders’ removal of the resigning Administrative Agent, then the resigning or removed Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XII shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.

Section 12.9 Titled Agents.

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

Documents required to be delivered pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be delivered by electronic communication and delivery, including, the Internet, e-mail or intranet websites to which the Administrative Agent and each Lender have access (including a commercial, third-party website such as xxx.Xxxxx.xxx <xxxx://xxx.Xxxxx.xxx> or a website sponsored or hosted by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower) provided that (A) the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II and (B) the Lender has not notified the Administrative Agent or Borrower that it cannot or does not want to receive electronic communications. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic delivery pursuant to procedures approved by it for all or particular notices or communications. Documents or notices delivered electronically shall be deemed to have been delivered twenty-four (24) hours after the date and time on which the Administrative Agent or Borrower posts such documents or the

Page 96

documents become available on a commercial website and the Administrative Agent or Borrower notifies each Lender of said posting and provides a link thereto provided if such notice or other communication is not sent or posted during the normal business hours of the recipient, said posting date and time shall be deemed to have commenced as of 9:00 a.m. on the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in every instance the Borrower shall be required to provide paper copies of the certificate required by Section 9.3 to the Administrative Agent and shall deliver paper copies of any documents to the Administrative Agent or to any Lender that requests such paper copies until a written request to cease delivering paper copies is given by the Administrative Agent or such Lender. Except for the certificates required by Section 9.3, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to request the delivery of or to maintain paper copies of the documents delivered electronically, and in any event shall have no responsibility to monitor compliance by the Borrower with any such request for delivery.

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

(b) EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY AGREES THAT THE FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK OR, AT THE OPTION OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY STATE COURT LOCATED IN NEW YORK COUNTY, NEW YORK SHALL HAVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS, PERTAINING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT, THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING HERE FROM OR THEREFROM. THE BORROWER AND EACH OF THE LENDERS EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED IN SUCH COURTS. THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT, OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS ISSUED THEREIN, AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT, OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR

CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO THE BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS FOR NOTICES PROVIDED FOR HEREIN. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SHOULD THE BORROWER FAIL TO APPEAR OR ANSWER ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT, PROCESS OR PAPERS SO SERVED WITHIN THIRTY DAYS AFTER THE MAILING THEREOF, THE BORROWER SHALL BE DEEMED IN DEFAULT AND AN ORDER AND/OR JUDGMENT MAY BE ENTERED AGAINST IT AS DEMANDED OR PRAYED FOR IN SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT, PROCESS OR PAPERS.

(d) THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.

(e) THE BORROWER AGREES THAT ALL OF ITS PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER SHALL BE ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL, AND, FOR THE PURPOSES OF AND WITH RESPECT TO MAKING PAYMENTS HEREUNDER, THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO ASSERT ANY SETOFF, COUNTERCLAIM OR CROSS-CLAIM.

(f) THE FOREGOING WAIVERS HAVE BEEN MADE WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF ALL LETTERS OF CREDIT AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 13.6 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all the Lenders (and any such assignment or transfer to which all of the Lenders have not consented shall be void).

(b) Participations. Any Lender may at any time grant to an affiliate of such Lender, or one or more banks or other financial institutions (each a “Participant” ) participating interests in its Commitment or the Obligations owing to such Lender, provided, however, any such participating interest must be for a constant and not a varying percentage interest. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.3, no Participant shall have any rights or benefits under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a

Page 98

participating interest to a Participant, such Lender 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 Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender 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; provided however, such Lender may agree with the Participant that it will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (i) increase such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal on the Loans or portions thereof owing to such Lender, or (iii) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon. An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection (c) or (d) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this subsection (b).

(c) Assignments. Any Lender may with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (which consent in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld) at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes; provided, however, (i) no such consent by the Borrower shall be required (x) if a Default or Event of Default shall exist or (y) in the case of an assignment to another Lender or an affiliate of such Lender or another Lender; (ii) no such consent by the Administrative Agent shall be required in the case of an assignment to an affiliate of such Lender, (iii) without limiting each Lender’s right to assign all of its Commitment, any partial assignment shall be in an amount at least equal to $10,000,000 and after giving effect to such assignment the assigning Lender retains a Commitment, or if the Commitments have been terminated, holds Notes having an aggregate outstanding principal balance, of at least $7,500,000, and (iv) each such assignment shall be effected by means of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement. From and after the Assignment Effective Date (as such term is defined in the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement), such Assignee shall be deemed to be a Lender party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender with a Commitment as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, and the transferor Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection (c), the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangement so the new Notes are issued to the Assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate. In connection with any such assignment, the transferor Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $3,500. Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to the Borrower, or any of its respective affiliates or Subsidiaries.

(d) Designated Lenders. Any Lender (each, a “Designating Lender”) may at any time designate one Designated Lender to fund Bid Rate Loans on behalf of such Designating Lender subject to the terms of this subsection (d) and the provisions in the immediately preceding subsections (b) and (c) shall not apply to such designation. No Lender may designate more than one Designated Lender at any point in time. The parties to each such designation shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance a Designation Agreement. Upon such receipt of an appropriately completed Designation Agreement executed by a

Page 99

Designating Lender and a designee representing that it is a Designated Lender, the Administrative Agent will accept such Designation Agreement and give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower, whereupon, (i) the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Designating Lender a Designated Lender Note payable to the order of the Designated Lender, (ii) from and after the effective date specified in the Designation Agreement, the Designated Lender shall become a party to this Agreement with a right to make Bid Rate Loans on behalf of its Designating Lender pursuant to Section 2.4 after the Borrower has accepted a Bid Rate Loan (or portion thereof) of the Designating Lender, and (iii) the Designated Lender shall not be required to make payments with respect to any obligations in this Agreement except to the extent of excess cash flow of such Designated Lender which is not otherwise required to repay obligations of such Designated Lender which are then due and payable; provided, however, that regardless of such designation and assumption by the Designated Lender, the Designating Lender shall be and remain obligated to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for each and every of the obligations of the Designating Lender and its related Designated Lender with respect to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any indemnification obligations under Section 12.7 and any sums otherwise payable to the Borrower by the Designated Lender. Each Designating Lender shall serve as the agent of the Designated Lender and shall on behalf of, and to the exclusion of, the Designated Lender: (i) receive any and all payments made for the benefit of the Designated Lender and (ii) give and receive all communications and notices and take all actions hereunder, including, without limitation, votes, approvals, waivers, consents and amendments under or relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any such notice, communication, vote, approval, waiver, consent or amendment shall be signed by the Designating Lender as agent for the Designated Lender and shall not be signed by the Designated Lender on its own behalf and shall be binding on the Designated Lender to the same extent as if signed by the Designated Lender on its own behalf. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may rely thereon without any requirement that the Designated Lender sign or acknowledge the same. No Designated Lender may assign or transfer all or any portion of its interest hereunder or under any other Loan Document, other than assignments to the Designating Lender which originally designated such Designated Lender. The Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent each hereby agrees that it will not institute against any Designated Lender or join any other Person in instituting against any Designated Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, until the later to occur of (x) one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Designated Lender and (y) the Termination Date. In connection with any such designation the Designating Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent an administrative fee for processing such designation in the amount of $3,500.

(e) Federal Reserve Bank Assignments. In addition to the assignments and participations permitted under the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.6, and without the need to comply with any of the formal or procedural requirements of this Section 13.6, any Lender may at any time and from time to time, pledge and assign all or any portion of its rights under all or any of the Loan Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge of assignment shall release such Lender from its obligation thereunder. To facilitate any such pledge or assignment, Administrative Agent shall, at the request of such Lender, enter into a letter agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank in, or substantially in, the form of the exhibit to Appendix C to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York Operating Circular No 10, as amended

Page 100

from time to time. No such pledge or assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.

(f) Information to Assignee, Etc. A Lender may furnish any information concerning the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party in the possession of such Lender from time to time to Assignees and Participants (including prospective Assignees and Participants); provided that the information concerning Borrower, any other Loan Party or Subsidiary shall be subject to Section 13.9.

Section 13.7 Amendments.

(a) Generally. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, (i) any consent or approval required or permitted by this Agreement or in any Loan Document to be given by the Lenders may be given, (ii) any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document (other than any fee letter solely between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) may be amended, (iii) the performance or observance by the Borrower or any other Loan Party of any terms of this Agreement or such other Loan Document (other than any fee letter solely between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) may be waived, and (iv) the continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Requisite Lenders (or the Administrative Agent at the written direction of the Requisite Lenders), and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of each Loan Party which is party thereto. In limitation of the foregoing, (A) any modification or amendment of the financial covenant set forth in Section 10.1(b), or waiver or any Default or Event of Default with respect to such Section 10.1(b), or (B) modification or amendment of the definitions of the terms “Gross Asset Value”, “Indebtedness” or “Total Liabilities” (or the definitions used in such definition or the percentages or rates used in the calculation thereof), shall require the consent of Requisite Lenders (which Requisite Lenders must include Xxxxx Fargo, so long as Xxxxx Fargo remains a party hereto):

(b) Unanimous Consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing, and signed by all of the Lenders (or the Administrative Agent at the written direction of the Lenders), do any of the following:

(i) increase the Commitments of the Lenders (excluding any increase as a result of an assignment of Commitments permitted under Section 13.6) or subject the Lenders to any additional obligations, except for any increases contemplated under Section 2.14;

(ii) reduce the principal of, or interest rates that have accrued or that will be charged on the outstanding principal amount of, any Loans or other Obligations;

(iii) reduce the amount of any Fees payable to the Lenders hereunder, other than Fees payable to Administrative Agent pursuant to the Fee Letter;

(iv) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, any Loans or for the payment of Fees (other than Fees to Administrative Agent pursuant

Page 101

to the Fee Letter) or any other Obligations, or extend the expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Termination Date;

(v) change the Pro Rata Shares (excluding any change as a result of an assignment of Commitments permitted under Section 13.6 or an increase of Commitments effected pursuant to Section 2.14);

(vi) amend this Section 13.7 or amend the definitions of the terms used in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents insofar as such definitions affect the substance of this Section 13.7;

(vii) modify the definition of the term “Requisite Lenders” or modify in any other manner the number or percentage of the Lenders required to make any determinations or waive any rights hereunder or to modify any provision hereof;

(viii) release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty except as contemplated under Section 8.14;

(ix) modify the definitions of the terms “Maximum Availability” or “Pool Value” (or the definitions used in such definition or the percentages or rates used in the calculation thereof), or modifying the provisions of Sections 2.1(a)(i), 2.8(b)(ii) or 2.13 which utilize such terms;

(x) waive a Default or Event of Default under Section 11.1(a) or Section 11.1(l)(i); or

(xi) amend, or waive the Borrower’s compliance with, Section 2.8(b)(ii).

(c) Amendment of Administrative Agent’s Duties, Etc. No amendment, waiver or consent unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, shall affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Any amendment, waiver or consent relating to Section 2.3 or the obligations of the Swingline Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, require the written consent of the Swingline Lender. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose set forth therein. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. Any Event of Default occurring hereunder shall continue to exist until such time as such Event of Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this Section, notwithstanding any attempted cure or other action by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of Default. Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

Page 102

Section 13.8 Nonliability of Administrative Agent and Lenders.

The relationship between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, on the other hand, shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower and no provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Lender, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower to review or inform the Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrower’s business or operations.

Section 13.9 Confidentiality.

Except as otherwise provided by Applicable Law, the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall utilize all non-public information obtained pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement which has been identified as confidential or proprietary by the Borrower in accordance with its customary procedure for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices but in any event may make disclosure: (a) to any of their respective affiliates (provided any such affiliate shall agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section 13.9); (b) as reasonably requested by any bona fide Assignee, Participant or other transferee in connection with the contemplated transfer of any Commitment or participations therein as permitted hereunder (provided they shall agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section); (c) as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or self-regulatory body or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process or in connection with any legal proceedings; (d) to the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s independent auditors and other professional advisors (provided they shall be notified of the confidential nature of the information); (e) if an Event of Default exists, to any other Person, but solely in connection with the exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of their rights hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents; and (f) to the extent such information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 13.9 or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any Affiliate.

Section 13.10 Indemnification.

(a) The Borrower shall and hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, any affiliate of the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, agents, employees and counsel (each referred to herein as an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, costs, claims, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or expenses of every kind and nature (including, without limitation, amounts paid in settlement, court costs and the reasonable and duly documented fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding or any advice rendered in connection therewith) incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with, arising out of, or by reason of, any suit, cause of action, claim, arbitration, investigation or settlement, consent decree or other proceeding (the foregoing referred to herein

Page 103

as an “Indemnity Proceeding”) which is in any way related directly or indirectly to: (i) this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated thereby; (ii) the making of any Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder; (iii) any actual or proposed use by the Borrower of the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit; (iv) the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s entering into this Agreement; (v) the fact that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have established the credit facility evidenced hereby in favor of the Borrower; (vi) the fact that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are creditors of the Borrower and have or are alleged to have information regarding the financial condition, strategic plans or business operations of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries; (vii) the fact that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are material creditors of the Borrower and are alleged to influence directly or indirectly the business decisions or affairs of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries or their financial condition; (viii) the exercise of any right or remedy the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may have under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents including, but not limited to, the foreclosure upon, or seizure of, any collateral or the exercise of any other rights of a secured party; (ix) any violation or non-compliance by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Applicable Law (including any Environmental Law) including, but not limited to, any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by (A) the Internal Revenue Service or state taxing authority or (B) any Governmental Authority or other Person under any Environmental Law, including any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by a Governmental Authority or other Person seeking remedial or other action to cause the Borrower or its Subsidiaries (or its respective properties) (or the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders as successors to the Borrower) to be in compliance with such Environmental Laws; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party for any acts or omissions of such Indemnified party in connection with matters described in this clause (a) that constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) The Borrower’s indemnification obligations under this Section shall apply to all Indemnity Proceedings arising out of, or related to, the foregoing whether or not an Indemnified Party is a named party in such Indemnity Proceeding. In this connection, this indemnification shall cover all costs and expenses of any Indemnified Party in connection with any deposition of any Indemnified Party or compliance with any subpoena (including any subpoena requesting the production of documents). This indemnification shall, among other things, apply to any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by other creditors of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, any shareholder of the Borrower or any Subsidiary (whether such shareholder(s) are prosecuting such Indemnity Proceeding in their individual capacity or derivatively on behalf of the Borrower), any account debtor of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or by any Governmental Authority.

(c) This indemnification shall apply to any Indemnity Proceeding arising during the pendency of any bankruptcy proceeding filed by or against the Borrower and/or any Subsidiary.

(d) All out-of-pocket fees and expenses of, and all amounts paid to third-persons by, an Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed by the Borrower at the request of such Indemnified Party notwithstanding any claim or assertion by the Borrower that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by such Indemnified Party that such Indemnified Party will reimburse the Borrower if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not so entitled to indemnification hereunder.

Page 104

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

(f) If and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower hereunder are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under Applicable Law.

Section 13.11 Termination; Survival.

At such time as (a) all of the Commitments have been terminated, (b) none of the Lenders is obligated any longer under this Agreement to make any Loans and (c) all Obligations (other than obligations which survive as provided in the following sentence) have been paid and satisfied in full, this Agreement shall terminate. The indemnities to which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are entitled under the provisions of Sections 3.12, 5.1, 5.4, 12.7, 13.2 and 13.10 and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the provisions of Section 13.5, shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (i) notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, or of the other Loan Documents, against events arising after such termination as well as before and (ii) at all times after any such party ceases to be a party to this Agreement with respect to all matters and events existing on or prior to the date such party ceased to be a party to this Agreement.

Section 13.12 Severability of Provisions.

Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 13.13 GOVERNING LAW.

THIS AGREEMENT WAS EXECUTED AND DELIVERED IN NEW YORK CITY, AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.

Page 105

Section 13.14 Counterparts.

This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

Section 13.15 Obligations with Respect to Loan Parties.

The obligations of the Borrower to direct or prohibit the taking of certain actions by the other Loan Parties as specified herein shall be absolute and not subject to any defense the Borrower may have that the Borrower does not control such Loan Parties.

Section 13.16 Independence of Covenants.

All covenants hereunder shall be given in any jurisdiction independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

Section 13.17 Limitation of Liability.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender, nor any affiliate, officer, director, employee, attorney, or agent of the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and the Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to xxx any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages suffered or incurred by the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. The Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to xxx the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any of the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or financed hereby.

Section 13.18 USA Patriot Act Notice. Compliance.

The USA Patriot Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56) and federal regulations issued with respect thereto require all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record certain information that identifies individuals or business entities which open an “account” with such financial institution. Consequently, Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and Lenders, may from time-to-time request, and Borrower shall provide to Administrative Agent, Borrower’s name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary for Lender to comply with federal law. An “account” for this purpose may include, without limitation, a deposit account, cash management service, a transaction or asset account, a credit account, a loan or other extension of credit, and/or other financial services product.

Page 106

Section 13.19 Entire Agreement.

This Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents referred to herein embody the final, entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior commitments, agreements, representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and may not be contradicted or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the parties hereto. There are no oral agreements among the parties hereto.

Section 13.20 Construction.

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