2.8. Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal at all times to the Base Rate.

In the event that, and from and after the time and for so long as (but only for so long as), the ratings established by S&P, Fitch and Moody’s are split, the applicable Level shall be determined exclusively by reference to the highest of the available ratings except that, in the event that the lowest of such ratings is more than one level below the highest of such ratings, then pricing will be determined based on the lower of the two highest ratings. If S& P, Fitch or Moody’s shall cease to issue ratings of debt securities generally, then the Agent and the Company shall negotiate in good faith to agree upon a substitute rating agency (and to correlate the system of ratings of such substitute rating agency with that of the rating agency for which it is substituting) and (i) until such substitute rating agency is agreed upon, the foregoing test may be satisfied on the basis of the rating assigned by the other such rating agencies and (ii) after such substitute rating agency is agreed upon, the foregoing test may be satisfied on the basis of the rating assigned by the other rating agencies and such substitute rating agency.

For purposes of this Agreement, principal shall be “overdue” only if not paid in accordance with the provisions of subsection 2.8.

On the first Business Day following the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Company and on the Maturity Date (or, if earlier, on the date upon which both the Commitments are terminated and the Loans are paid in full), the Company shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of each Lender, the portion of such facility fee which accrued during the fiscal quarter most recently ended (or, in the case of the payment due on the Maturity Date, the portion thereof ending on such date).

2.10. Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest on all Loans shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days or, in the case of Base Rate Loans,

a year of 365 or 366 days as appropriate (in each case including the first day but excluding the last day). Each determination of an interest rate by the Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. All fees shall be computed on the basis of a year composed of twelve 30-day months. The Agent shall, at any time and from time to time upon request of the Company, deliver to the Company a statement showing the quotations used by the Agent in determining any interest rate applicable to the Loans pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) If any Reference Lender shall for any reason no longer have a Commitment or a Loan outstanding, such Reference Lender shall thereupon cease to be a Reference Lender, and if, as a result thereof, there shall only be one Reference Lender remaining, the Company and the Agent (after consultation with the Lenders) shall, by notice to the Lenders, designate another Lender as a Reference Lender so that there shall at all times be at least two Reference Lenders.

(c) Each Reference Lender shall use its best efforts to furnish quotations of rates to the Agent as contemplated hereby. If any of the Reference Lenders shall be unable or shall otherwise fail to supply such rates to the Agent upon its request, the rate of interest shall, subject to the provisions of subsection 2.11, be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Lenders.

2.11. Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If the Eurodollar Rate cannot be determined by the Agent in the manner specified in the definition of the term “Eurodollar Rate” contained in subsection 1.1 of this Agreement, the Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Company and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. Until such time as the Eurodollar Rate can be determined by the Agent in the manner specified in the definition of such term contained in said subsection 1.1, no further Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as such at the end of the then current Interest Period or (other than any Eurodollar Loans previously requested and with respect to which the Eurodollar Rate previously was determined) shall be made, nor shall the Company have the right to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans.

2.12. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each Borrowing from the Lenders hereunder and (except as provided in subsection 2.17(c)) any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Commitments of the Lenders under the Facility.

(b) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Company hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without set-off or counterclaim. All payments (including prepayments) in respect of Loans shall be made in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, and at or prior to 12:00 Noon (New York city time), on the due date thereof. The Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

2.13. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful

for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, such Lender shall give notice thereof to the Agent and the Company describing the relevant provisions of such Requirement of Law (and, if the Company shall so request, provide the Company with a memorandum or opinion of counsel of recognized standing (as selected by such Lender) as to such illegality), following which (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be canceled and (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans (A) on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or (B) within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Company shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to subsection 2.16.

2.14. Increased Costs. Except with respect to Taxes, which are governed exclusively by subsection 2.15 of this Agreement, (a) If there shall be (i) any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Loans or (ii) any reduction in any amount receivable in respect thereof, and, in each case, such increased cost or reduced amount receivable is due to either:

(x) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation after the date hereof; or

(y) the compliance with any guideline or request made after the date hereof from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law),

then (subject to the provisions of subsection 2.16) the Company shall from time to time, upon written demand by such Lender pay such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.

(b) If any Lender shall have reasonably determined that (i) the applicability of any law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted after the date hereof pursuant to or arising out of the July 1988 paper of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards,” or (ii) the adoption after the date hereof of any other law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy affecting such Lender, or (iii) any change arising after the date hereof in the foregoing or in the interpretation or administration of any of the foregoing by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (iv) compliance by such Lender (or any Funding Office of such Lender), or any holding company for such Lender which is subject to any of the capital requirements described above, with any request or directive of general application issued after the date hereof regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of any such holding company as a direct consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or any such holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then (subject to the provisions of subsection 2.16) from time to time such Lender may request the Company to pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender or any such holding company for any such reduction suffered, net of the savings (if any) which may be reasonably projected to be associated with such increased capital requirement. Any certificate as to such amounts which is delivered pursuant to subsection 2.16(a) shall, in addition to any items required by subsection 2.16(a), include the calculation of the savings (if any) which may be reasonably projected to be

associated with such increased capital requirement; provided that in no event shall any Lender be obligated to pay or refund any amounts to Company on account of such savings.

(c) In the event that any Governmental Authority shall impose any Eurodollar Reserve Requirements which increase the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining Eurodollar Loans, then (subject to the provisions of subsection 2.16) the Company shall thereafter pay in respect of the Eurodollar Loans of such Lender a rate of interest based upon the Eurodollar Reserve Rate (rather than upon the Eurodollar Rate). From and after the delivery to the Company of the certificate required by subsection 2.16(a), all references contained in this Agreement to the Eurodollar Rate shall be deemed to be references to the Eurodollar Reserve Rate with respect to each such affected Lender.

2.15. Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Company under this Agreement and any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (collectively, “Taxes”), now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes or any other tax based upon net income imposed on the Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement) or any other Loan Document. If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) a net amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (b) of this subsection 2.15 or (ii) that are withholding taxes applicable to such Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Company with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by the Company, as promptly as possible thereafter, the Company shall send to the Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Company showing payment thereof. If the Company fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Company shall indemnify the Agent, each Sub-Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this subsection 2.15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts payable hereunder.

(b) Each Lender that is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (“Non-US Lender”) shall:

(X)(i) on or before the date such Non-US Lender becomes a Lender or a Participant under this Agreement, deliver to the Company and the Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or successor applicable form, as the case may be, certifying that it is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction, withholding or backup withholding of any United States federal income taxes;

(ii) if, and to the extent, such Lender is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company and the Agent two further copies of any such form or certification on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Company; and

(iii) if, and to the extent, such Lender is legally entitled to do so, obtain such extensions of time for filing and completing such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Company or the Agent;

(Y) in the case of any such Non-US Lender claiming exception from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payment of “portfolio interest”, deliver on or before the date such Non-US Lender becomes a Lender or a Participant under this Agreement, (A) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E (any such certificate a “US Tax Compliance Certificate”), (B) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or successor applicable form, certifying to such Lender’s legal entitlement at the date of such certificate to a complete exemption from US withholding tax, (C) two further copies of such form and certification (I) on or before the date it expires or becomes obsolete and (II) if and to the extent such Non-US Lender is then legally able to provide such form or certification, after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Company, and, (D) if and to the extent such Non-US Lender is then legally able to do so, if necessary, obtain any extensions of time reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent for filing and completing such forms, and (iii) agree, if and to the extent such Non-US Lender is then legally entitled to do so, upon reasonable request by the Company, to provide to the Company (for the benefit of the Company and the Agent) such other forms as may be reasonably required in order to establish the legal entitlement of such Lender to a complete exemption from or reduced rate of withholding with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Notes; or

(Z) in the case of any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Company is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement, deliver to the Company, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender.

unless in any such case an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender so advises the Company and the Agent. Each Non-U.S. Lender that is an Assignee or Participant hereunder pursuant to subsection 9.6 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all of the forms and statements required pursuant to this subsection 2.15; provided that in the case of a Participant such Participant shall furnish all such required forms and statements, documentation or certifications to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased, and such Lender shall in turn furnish all such required forms (including, without limitation, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY), documentation and certifications to the Company and the Agent. Any Lender or Participant that is a “United States person” (within the meaning of Code section 7701(a)(30)) but is not incorporated under the laws of the United States or a state thereof shall furnish the Company and the Agent with a Form W-9 or successor form

thereto, certifying an exemption from backup withholding in respect of payments hereunder, if it is legally entitled to do so.

(c) If and to the extent that a Lender, in its sole discretion (exercised in good faith), determines that it has received or been granted a credit against, a relief from, a remission of, or a repayment of, any Non-Excluded Tax, in respect of which it has received additional payment under subsection 2.15(a) of this Agreement, then such Lender shall pay to the the Company the amount of such credit, relief, remission or repayment so determined by such Lender, in its sole discretion (exercised in good faith), attributable to such deduction or withholding of Non-Excluded Tax; provided that the Lender shall not be obligated to make any payment under this paragraph in respect of such credit, relief, refund, remission or repayment until the Lender, in its sole judgment (exercised in good faith), is satisfied that its tax affairs for the tax year in respect of which such credit, relief, remission or repayment was obtained have been finally settled.

2.16. Indemnity. If (a) any payment of principal of any Eurocurrency Loan is made by the Company to or for the account of a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Loan as a result of a payment or conversion pursuant to subsection 2.4, 2.5, 2.7, or 2.14, as a result of acceleration of the maturity of the Loans pursuant to subsection 7 or for any other reason, (b) any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans is not made as a result of a withdrawn notice of borrowing, (c) any Base Rate Loan is not converted into a Eurocurrency Loan as a result of a withdrawn notice of conversion or continuation, (d) any Eurocurrency Loan is not continued as a Eurocurrency Loan as a result of a withdrawn notice of conversion or continuation or (f) any prepayment of principal of any Eurocurrency Loan is not made as a result of a withdrawn notice of prepayment pursuant to subsection 2.4, the Borrower shall, after receipt of a written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that such Lender may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, failure to convert, failure to continue or failure to prepay, including any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such Eurocurrency Loan.

2.17. Notice of Amounts Payable; Relocation of Funding Office; Mandatory Assignment. (a) In the event that any Lender becomes aware that any amounts are or will be owed to it pursuant to subsection 2.13, 2.14, 2.15(a) or 2.16, then it shall promptly notify the Company thereof and, as soon as possible thereafter, such Lender shall submit to the Company a certificate indicating the amount owing to it, the calculation thereof and a description in reasonable detail of the circumstances giving rise to such amount. The amounts set forth in such certificate shall be prima facie evidence of the obligations of the Company hereunder; provided, however, that the failure of the Company to pay any amount owing to any Lender pursuant to subsection 2.13, 2.14, 2.15(a) or 2.16 shall not be deemed to constitute a Default or an Event of Default hereunder to the extent that the Company is contesting in good faith its obligation to pay such amount by ongoing discussions diligently pursued with such Lender or by appropriate proceedings.

(b) If a Lender claims any additional amounts payable pursuant to subsection 2.13 or 2.14, it shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to avoid the need for paying such additional amounts, including changing the jurisdiction of its applicable Funding Office, provided that the taking of any such action would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be disadvantageous to such Lender.

(c) In the event that any Lender delivers to the Company a certificate in accordance with subsection 2.17(a) (other than a certificate as to amounts payable pursuant to subsection 2.16), or the Company is required to pay any additional amounts or other payments in accordance with subsection 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15(a), the Company may, at its own expense and in its sole discretion, (i) require such Lender to transfer or assign, in whole or in part, without recourse (in accordance with subsection 9.6), all or part of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to another Person (provided that the Company, with the full cooperation of such Lender, can identify a Person who is ready, willing and able to be an Assignee with respect to thereto) which shall assume such assigned obligations (which Assignee may be another Lender, if such Assignee Lender accepts such assignment) or (ii) during such time as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, prepay all outstanding Loans of such Lender; provided that (x) the Company or the Assignee, as the case may be, shall have paid to such Lender in immediately available funds the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the Loans made by it hereunder and (subject to subsection 2.16) all other amounts owed to it hereunder and (y) such assignment or the prepayment of Loans is not prohibited by any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or Governmental Authority.

SECTION 8. THE AGENT

8.1. Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints CNAI as the Agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes CNAI, as the Agent for such Lender, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, (a) the Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, (b) the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agents and the Arrangers shall not have any duties or responsibilities in their capacities as such to the Lenders and (c) none of the Agent, the Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent or any Arranger shall have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Agent, the Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent or any Arranger.

8.2. Delegation of Duties. The Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled

to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

8.3. Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or Affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement (except for its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Company or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Company.

8.4. Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent may deem and treat the Lender specified in the Register with respect to any amount owing hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Agent. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of the Majority Lenders (or, to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires a higher percentage of Lenders, such higher percentage), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the obligations owing by the Company hereunder.

8.5. Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Company referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Agent receives such a notice, the Agent shall promptly notify the Company (unless the Company shall have delivered such notice to the Agent) and then give notice thereof to the Lenders (provided that the failure to notify the Company shall not impair any of the rights of the Agent and the Lenders with respect to the events and circumstances specified in such notice). The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Majority Lenders; provided that unless and until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

8.6. Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Company, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by

the Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Company and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Company. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent hereunder, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Company which may come into the possession of the Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

8.7. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent and each Sub-Agent, (in their respective capacities as such, but only to the extent not reimbursed by the Company and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so), ratably according to their respective Commitments (or if the Commitments have been terminated, the outstanding principal amount of their Loans) in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this subsection 8.7 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with the outstanding principal amount of their Loans immediately prior to such date of payment in full) but giving effect to any subsequent assignments in accordance with subsection 9.6, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the amounts owing hereunder) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent or such Sub-Agent (as the case may be) in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent or such Sub-Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or the relevant Sub-Agent (as the case may be). The agreements in this subsection 8.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

8.8. Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company as though the Agent were not the Agent hereunder. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Agent in its individual capacity.

8.9. Successor Agent. The Agent may resign as Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Company and following the appointment of a successor Agent in accordance with the provisions of this subsection 8.9. If the Agent shall resign as Agent under this Agreement, then the Majority Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders willing to serve as Agent a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be approved by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required if an Event of Default under subsection 7.1(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Agent, and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this

Agreement or any holders of the obligations owing hereunder. After any retiring Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Section 8 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

8.10. Sub-Agent. Each Sub-Agent has been designated under this Agreement to carry out the duties of the Agent. Each Sub-Agent shall be subject to each of the obligations in this Agreement to be performed by such Sub-Agent, and each of the Company and the Lenders agrees that each Sub-Agent shall be entitled to exercise each of the rights and shall be entitled to each of the benefits of the Agent under this Agreement as they related to the performance of its obligations hereunder.

Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Company, the Lenders, the Agent and all future holders of the

obligations owing hereunder. In the case of any waiver, the Company, the Lenders and the Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of subsections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.6); provided that no Assignee shall then be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to subsections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16 than the assigning Lender would have been entitled to receive thereunder in respect of the rights and obligations assigned by such assigning Lender to such Assignee had no such assignment occurred.

(iv) The Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of Company, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Company therein recorded, and the Company, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Agent shall provide a copy of the Register to the Company on a monthly basis.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this subsection and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this subsection, the Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Company or the Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) the Company, the Agent any Sub-Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (D) such Lender shall have given prior written notice to the Company of the identity of such Participant. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of subsection 9.1 and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this subsection, the Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of subsections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.6 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this subsection.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under subsection 2.13, 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 or 9.6 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Company’s prior written consent. Any Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of subsection 2.15 except to the extent that it has complied with any applicable requirements of such subsection.

(d) Nothing herein shall prohibit any Lender from pledging or assigning all or any portion of its Loans to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law. In order to facilitate such pledge or assignment, the Company hereby agrees that, upon request of any Lender at any time and from time to time after the Company has made the Borrowing hereunder, the Company shall provide to such Lender, at the Company’s own expense, a promissory note, substantially in the form of Exhibit C, evidencing the Loans owing by the Company to such Lender (a “Note”).

(e) On or prior to the effective date of an assignment, the assigning Lender shall surrender any outstanding Notes held by it all or a portion of which are being assigned, and the Company shall, upon the request to the Agent made at the time of such assignment by the assigning Lender or the Assignee, as applicable, execute and deliver to the Agent (in exchange for the outstanding Notes of the assigning Lender) a new Note to the order of such Assignee in an amount equal to the amount of such Assignee’s Loan and, if applicable, a new Note to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Loan retained by such Lender. Any such new Notes shall be dated the Closing Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Note replaced thereby. Any Notes surrendered by the assigning Lender shall be returned by the Agent to the Company marked “cancelled.”

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Company or the Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in subsection 9.6(b); provided, that no Conduit Lender shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to subsections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 or 9.6 than the designating Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the extensions of credit made by such Conduit Lender. In addition, any Conduit Lender may disclose, on a confidential basis, the existence and terms of the Loans it has funded to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancements to such Conduit Lender; provided that no such Person shall receive any confidential financial information with respect to the Company unless such

Person has complied with subsection 9.6(g) as if such Person were a Transferee. Each of the Company, the Lenders and the Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense (including legal expenses) arising out of its designation of a Conduit Lender, including but without limitations to, inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.

(g) The Company authorizes each Lender to disclose to any prospective Participant, any Participant, any prospective Assignee or any Assignee (each, a “Transferee”) any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Company and its Affiliates which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to all Lenders by or on behalf of the Company in connection with their respective credit evaluations of the Company and its Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement; provided that (i) such Transferee has executed and delivered to the Company a written confidentiality agreement substantially in the form of that which has been executed and delivered by each Lender prior to the date hereof and (ii) in the case of any information other than that contained in the Confidential Information Memorandum, dated November 2005, the Company has been informed of the identity of such Transferee and has consented (such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to the disclosure of such information thereto. Nothing contained in this subsection 9.6(g) shall be deemed to prohibit the delivery to any Transferee of any financial information which is otherwise publicly available.

(h) If at any time, any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, then any Company may, at its sole cost and expense, on five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent and such Lender, replace such Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to this subsection 9.6 all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Company to find a replacement Lender or other such Person; provided, further, that such Non-Consenting Lender shall be entitled to receive the full outstanding principal amount of Loans so assigned, together with accrued interest and fees payable in respect of such Loans and all other amounts then owed and payable to it under the Loan Documents as of the date of such assignment.

9.7. Adjustments. If any Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in subsection 7.1(f), or otherwise), such that it has received aggregate payments or collateral on account of its Loans in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans which are then due and payable, or interest thereon, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loans, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

9.8. Counterparts. (a) This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), and all of said

counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Company and the Agent.

(b) By its signature hereto, each Lender hereby agrees that this Agreement shall become effective immediately upon the execution and delivery by the Company and the Agent of this Agreement. In the event that this Agreement has not been duly executed and delivered by each Person listed on the signature pages hereto (other than the Company and the Agent, with respect to which the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall be a condition precedent to its effectiveness) on the date upon which this Agreement becomes effective in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, this Agreement shall nevertheless become effective with respect to those Persons who have executed and delivered it on or before such effective date and those Persons who have not executed and delivered it (such Persons, the “Non-Executing Banks”) shall be deemed not to be Lenders hereunder.

(c) On the date of effectiveness of this Agreement, the Company may (after consultation with the Agent) designate one or more Lenders (the “Designated Lenders”) to assume the Commitments which would have been held by the Non-Executing Banks and, if the Designated Lenders agree to assume such Commitments, (i) Schedules I shall be deemed to be amended to reflect such increase in the respective Commitment of each Designated Lender and the omission of each Non-Executing Bank as a Lender hereunder and (ii) the respective Commitment of each Designated Lender shall be deemed to be such increased amount for all purposes hereunder.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Commitment of a Lender shall not be increased (without the prior written consent of such Lender) as a result of the failure of any other Person to execute and deliver this Agreement or otherwise.

9.9. Judgment. (a) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Dollars into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase Dollars with such other currency at Citibank’s principal office in London at 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

(b) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in another currency into Dollars, the parties agree to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase such other currency with Dollars at Citibank’s principal office in London at 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

(c) The obligation of the Company in respect of any sum due from it in any currency (the “Primary Currency”) to any Lender, Sub-Agent or the Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any other currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender, Sub-Agent or the Agent (as the case may be), of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Lender, Sub-Agent or the Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the applicable Primary Currency with such other currency; if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased is less than such sum due to such Lender, Sub-Agent or the Agent (as the case may be) in the

applicable Primary Currency, the Company agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender, Sub-Agent or the Agent (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased exceeds such sum due to any Lender, Sub-Agent or the Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, such Lender, Sub-Agent or the Agent (as the case may be) agrees to remit to the Company such excess.

9.10. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

9.11. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

9.12. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Company that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Company, which information includes the name and address of the Company and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Company in accordance with the Patriot Act. The Company shall promptly provide such information upon request by any Lender.

9.13. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE COMPANY, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE BORROWING OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY AGENT OR ANY LENDER IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered by their proper and duly authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.
